ADJOURN 2 September 13, 2000 September 13, 2000 Item #2A FISCAL YEAR 2001 PELICAN BAY SERVICES DIVISION BUDGET - APPROVED VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: I would like to call to order this meeting, the Board of Collier County Commissioners for the Pelican Bay budget hearing. Would you please stand and repeat with me the Pledge of Allegiance. (Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.} VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: The Board of County Commissioners now has a quorum. We don't know if Commissioner Mac'Kie will be joining us. We know Commissioner Constantine will not be here tonight. And as vice-chair, I will be chairing this meeting. With us this evening from staff is our county manager, Tom Olliff, and Mike Smykowski, our budget director. And Jim Ward is here on behalf of the Pelican Bay Services Division, as well as the chairman, Lou Valaccio (phonetic) I see in the audience. And here comes Commissioner Mac'Kie for this -- COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Better late than never. I apologize very much. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Mr. Ward, would you like to take us through the process? MR. WARD: Thank you, Commissioner. On behalf of the community of Pelican Bay and the Pelican Services Division Advisory Committee, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to your once-a-year vignette out here in Pelican Bay. The primary purpose of your meeting today is to consider the adoption of a resolution levying an assessment on all properties within the boundaries of the Pelican Bay Services Division for the purposes of operations and maintenance of the division's community-wide infrastructure, and also to deal with the capital improvements that we have within the community. Just briefly, I'll go through those with you. Our operating funds for Fiscal Year 2001 include the maintenance of our water management system, as has traditionally been done through the years. Our community beautification program, which is Page 2 September 13, 2000 essentially our landscaping, lighting, beach maintenance program, and roadway program that we have within the community. Our capital projects include the restoration of the Clam Bay system. There is no proposed assessment for fiscal year 200t within Clam Bay, although the budget for Clam Bay does include some finishing work and does include operating work within the context of the budget. That is funded by natural resources. We also have a capital improvement fund that's used to restore the community's assets this coming year. That will be used to fund some additional programs that we are working on in fiscal year 2001, primarily related to landscaping and irrigation improvements within the program itself. The proposed levy amount for Fiscal Year '01 is $284.14 per equivalent residential unit. That is slightly up from the prior year, which was $280.23. Most of that -- or all of that increase is related to slight increases in our operating assessment -- or operating requirements for the year, and a few additional minor programs that have been included in the budget for the year. With that~ if you have any questions with respect to the budget or the assessments, I'll be glad to answer them for you. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: This was approved by the MSTBU? MR. WARD: Yes, Commissioner. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Unanimously? MR. WARD: Unanimously, yes. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Any questions on behalf of the board? COMMISSIONER BERRY: I have none. MR. WARD: Which is rare these days. COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: It can happen. VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: All right. I hear no questions. Can I get a motion that we approve the Pelican Bay budget for the year -- MR. WARD: If you'd -- this is a public hearing. Did -- I'm sorry, my hearing is going. Did -- were there anybody signed up to speak? VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Anybody sign up? MR. TURNER: No, I didn't know. I didn't sign up to speak because I -- may I, Commissioner? Page 3 September 13, 2000 VICE-CHAIRMAN CARTER: Sure. MR. TURNER: My name is Bill Turner and I live at 6573 Marissa Loop. Jim, my only question is -- I brought the material that was mailed to me, and I was frantically looking at the numbers you just mentioned about the per unit equivalent residential based on what the assessment was. Was the budget changed and increased slightly from the numbers that were originally mailed to us? MR. WARD: No, the numbers that I presented tonight are the same numbers that were mailed to you. MR. TURNER: Well, maybe I'm reading my sheets wrong here. But-- MR. WARD: If you'd like, I'd be glad to go over those with you. MR. TURNER: I don't think -- if it was what was mailed to us, I might not have brought all the sheets. I thought I had them all. That will answer it. Thank you. Item #2B RESOLUTION 2000-301 CONFIRMING THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT ROLL AS THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ROLL AND ADOPTING SAME AS THE NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR PURPOSES OF UTILIZING THE UNIFORM METHOD OF COLLECTION - ADOPTED MR.
