Fort Myers Beach Fire Chief Scott Wirth has sent out a letter with a survey link in it regarding the merger study now underway with Iona McGregor. The study was initiated after State Representative Adam Botana said he wanted to see more of these special districts merged. Here’s Wirth’s full letter and the link to the survey…
“The Independent Special Fire Control Districts of Fort Myers Beach and Iona McGregor are conducting a study to determine if merging the two districts could be operationally and financially beneficial for the taxpayers in both areas.
“The J Angle Group LLC has been hired as the consultant to conduct this study. A crucial part of this process involves gathering feedback from both internal and external (community) stakeholders. The survey that can be found at the link provided is specifically designed to collect feedback from the community’s stakeholders. JAG Associates will summarize and compile the results and include them in the study. “Please note that this survey does not collect respondents’ names (unless expressly provided), and the results will only be accessible to the JAG team.
“The survey should take a few minutes to complete. Since you can’t save your progress, please ensure you have enough time to complete it in one sitting. We ask that all responses are received no later than noon on April 16, 2025.”
Thank you! We appreciate your time and feedback
Scott Wirth, Fire Chief
Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District
