Rooney talks flood insurance with Chamber
With re-authorization of the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) set for Sept. 30 and no replacement plan currently approved, Fort
Myers Beach businesses and homeowners are getting nervous for premium
hikes. District 19 Representative Francis Rooney spoke to the
membership of the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce Thursday,
focusing much of the conversation on the NFIP. One of the biggest fears is a hike in premiums again. In coastal areas of Florida, all homeowners with a mortgage are
required to obtain flood insurance. These premiums feed into the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which pays out when properties
are destroyed from a flood. Currently the NFIP is managed by the
federal government, as private insurers pulled out of the program years
ago. The insurance program has a federal "backstock," or a pot of money
the premiums pay into. There are very few private-sector insurance
companies that sell flood insurance, so most buyers go through the
federal system. FULL STORY

Town Council kills San Carlos Island parking negotiations
Negotiations between Fort Myers Beach town staff and the Florida

staff had been in communication with FDOT for a year and a half about

community attended Monday's council meeting to protest the potential
