On Monday the Fort Myers Beach Town Council will consider dishing out $7,500 per month to a lobbying company to help overcome the issues the town is having with FEMA. The contract would be for a minimum of 6 months for a total of $45,000 taxpayer dollars.
Town Manager Andy Hyatt will make the official request Monday. The name of the firm he wants to hire is Gray Robinson which would represent the town before “Congress, the Executive Brand, and Administrative Agencies.”
The Town of Fort Myers Beach was the only local municipality that lost its National Flood Insurance Program discount with FEMA.
Gray Robinson is a Lobbying firm with offices in 14 Florida cities, including Fort Myers, and Washington, DC. The company website states that GrayRobinson is a multidimensional team of professionals providing integrated legal, lobbying, and regulatory services to leading and emerging businesses, state and local governments, industry stakeholders, and entrepreneurs nationwide
