Suggestions on ideas for the presentation made by Staff and the
Committee were:
· Comparison costs for crushed shells, mulch and
maintenance.
· Sod is not allowed.

· MSTU taxpayers would like to see construction start now
rather than in 2017
· Well permit has been applied for.
Pam Lulich will check status of well permit.
Staff will help draft bullets and comments to aide in presentation.
Sue Chapin expressed disappointment in the lack of Staff
coordination with the submission of the proper paperwork related
to the RRE MSTU scheduling for the BCC May agenda as
Commissioner Henning and the Committee requested. She asked
that Staff perform MSTU's tasks in a timely fashion in the future
and would appreciate receiving drafts, letters, etc. for review
before they are submitted.
Dale Johnson requested the draft for the June meeting be
provided a couple of days prior to the meeting and to also send
the report to the Committee members.
Pam Lulich stated that information will be email to the
Committee on June 10, 2011.

Pam Lulich reported the Collier Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) Board meeting is scheduled for June 10th at
