CAPE CITY MGR ADDING JOBS-TRX-SOT-HLF SCRN RVL

Mayor John Sullivan/Cape Coral: "There's people out there right now who can't put enough food on the table so we need to be cautious in what we do."

THE DOLLARS JUST KEEP ADDING UP--

CAPE CORAL'S CITY MANAGER WANTS COUNCIL TO APPROVE 21 NEW POSITIONS.

AND AN ADDITIONAL SIX-MILLION DOLLARS FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS.

THE PRICEY PROPOSAL COMES AT A TIME WHEN THE CASH-STRAPPED CITY IS STRUGGLING TO STAY AFLOAT.

CAPE CITY MGR ADDING JOBS-PKG-BNR

THIS IS THE LINE INSIDE CAPE CORAL CITY HALL. AND SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT IS MIKE MURRAY.

-Mike Murray/contractor-"I'm getting a permit to do some commercial construction."

IT'S A SLOW TUESDAY MORNING AT THE PERMITTING COUNTER AND MURRAY SAYS HE'S BEEN WAITING ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO SEE SOMEONE.

-Murray-"I think they would probably use a few more."

BUT THAT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN. CAPE CORAL'S CITY MANAGER IS ASKING COUNCIL TO FUND 21 NEW POSITIONS. *NONE OF WHICH WOULD BENEFIT PEOPLE LIKE MURRAY.

-"This is not a wants economy it's a needs economy and we have to operate that way.We need to be careful how we spend taxpayer money."

-Alex Boyer-"Among the proposed positions are 3 office jobs. One is a recruitment specialist here at human resources, an administrative assistant to the city attorney and an assistant city manager."

THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES 15 POSITIONS TO HELP WITH THE UTILITIES EXPANSION PROJECT. AND SEVERAL CONTRACT WORKERS TO HELP RUN AND MAINTAIN CITY PARKS -- WHICH INCLUDE THE YACHT CLUB AND SUN SPLASH WATER PARK.

-Rana Erbrick/Cape Councilwoman-"I think at this point we need to prioritize where these bodies go."

AND HOW MUCH TO PAY THEM. THE TOUGH SELL MAY BE GETTING COUNCIL TO APPROVE

NEARLY 7-MILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL IN PERSONNEL PAY AND BENEFITS. THAT MONEY INCLUDES PAY RAISES FOR CURRENT STAFF.

-Sullivan-"I don't want to get real optimistic here and then spend money and find out we still have a problem."

WE'VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT OF THE WET WEATHER--

WITH MORE THAN EIGHT INCHES OF RAIN THIS MONTH, IT'S BEEN SOGGY--

TRACKING SWFL RAIN TOTALS-WX CTR

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

MORE SHOWERS TOMORROW

Hang in there! It's been a very wet few days in southwest Florida and it looks like we have more showers tonight and tomorrow morning to track. Rain totals at Page Field are now over 8.00" for the month of July and this puts at a surplus of over 3.00" this month! In fact, for the year we are now just about 'caught up' for rain. If the Page Field airport receives more that.75" tonight and tomorrow our yearly rainfall average will start to go above normal.

The forecast this evening does call for more showers to move in from the Gulf and for downpours and thunderstorms to develop inland. I expect some areas will continue to see on/off showers through midnight. An area of low pressure in the northern part of the state continues an onshore flow in southwest Florida and we will track more rain, at times, through tomorrow.

After tomorrow the weather looks to change noticeable. High pressure in the Atlantic will build across the state and basically cut off the flow of moisture. On Thursday and Friday I expect skies to be mostly sunny and temperatures to rebound in to the mid 90's with heat index readings above 100 degrees. We will trade off the rainy weather for hot weather and by the weekend there will be a few more afternoon storms to track.

SEVERE DROUGHT IN THE MIDWEST IS WREAKING HAVOC--

ALREADY IMPACTING YOUR POCKETBOOK.

DROUGHT AND FOOD PRICES-PKG-BNR

DROUGHT IN THE MIDWEST IS PUSHING CORN PRICES UP--

nats farm

COST FOR THE GRAIN IS SOARING-- UP 30 PERCENT HIGHER IN THE WEEKS SINCE DEVASTATING DRY CONDITIONS SET IN.

38:34 as corn prices go up it will affect the cost of all the things that use corn 38:40

LIKE FOOD.

FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY BUSINESS PROFESSOR DOCTOR BRAD HOBBS SAYS THE MARKET IS REACTING QUICKLY TO DROPPING GRAIN SUPPLIES IN THE MIDWEST.

take graphic1

THAT, HE SAYS, DRIVES UP THE COST OF CORN WHEAT AND SOYBEAN.

take graphic 2

AND HE SAYS EXPECT TO PAY MORE FOR GROCERY STORE STAPLES, LIKE BEEF CHICKEN AND PORK -

38:23 particularly pork producers and chicken producers will be affected because one of the costs of production for them to produce these food stuffs involves the purchase of corn 38:34

PRODUCERS, HE SAYS, PASS THOSE COSTS ON TO CONSUMERS.

Nats gas station

PRICES AT THE PUMP ARE ON THE RISE, TOO.

TRIPLE A OF FORT MYERS BLAMES DROPPING SUPPLY, RATHER THAN CORN PRICES.

GAS IS MADE WITH ETHANOL, A CORN PRODUCT, THAT HOBBS SAYS COULD IMPACT GAS PRICES, IF DRY WEATHER CONTINUES.

41:28 they'll last as long as the drought lasts and if this crop is a poor crop, we'll see ramification until next crop comes through 41:37

BUT INVESTORS REACT BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, SETTING CORN AND OTHER GRAIN PRICES HIGHER WITH NO RAINY RELIEF IN SIGHT.
