It will be determined at a public hearing at the July 15 City Council meeting whether the prohibition on gas-powered leaf blowers will finally go into effect.
The prohibition had been paused while the City was in a State of Emergency – and while the City remains in a State of Emergency, the City proposes that through either a Mayoral Proclamation or City Council Resolution, it may waive the prohibition.
If this ordinance is approved by the City Council, the use of gas-powered leaf blowers would be prohibited on Sanibel, effective immediately.
