The Captiva Community Panel received an update on the iguana MSTU petitions, had the chance to speak with its new county representative and got a monthly update from the Sea Level Rise Committee.
At its Feb. 9 meeting, Administrator Ken Gooderham reported that there are 1,148 total properties, meaning at least 575 petitions need to be returned to create the unit to pay for iguana control services.
