In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing preparations for hurricane season, including the distribution of sandbags to vulnerable areas. The meeting revealed that additional sandbags would be delivered to Immokalee, specifically at the Sergeant Joe Jones Road facility, with details on the quantity to be shared via social media upon arrival. Residents were reminded to retain their sandbags for the duration of the hurricane season, which continues for another two months, and to store them properly.

The agenda for the upcoming board meeting was also a focal point of the discussion. Officials decided to postpone a public hearing on land use originally scheduled for tomorrow, moving it to October 22. This decision was made to allow residents to focus on storm preparations rather than attending the meeting. Consequently, other non-time-sensitive agenda items were also rescheduled for the same date.

The board ultimately agreed to cancel tomorrow's meeting, opting instead to consolidate all agenda items for the October 22 meeting. This decision was made to ensure that the public could participate effectively while also prioritizing safety during the hurricane season.
