Municipal Service Taxing Unit. The principal purpose of the MSTU is to provide landscaping
and irrigation systems for the section of Radio Road from Santa Barbara Boulevard East to Davis
Boulevard.
In response to a request by the MSTU Advisory Committee, the Board authorized the placement
of a referendum on a ballot to determine if qualified electors residing within the MSTU were in
favor of utilizing debt secured by and payable from existing ad valorem taxes levied against all
taxable property within the MSTU to allow the MSTU Landscaping improvement project to be
completed sooner.
On January 31, 2012, voters within the MSTU approved, with a 71.71% margin (682 -yes; 269 -
no), utilizing the existing ad valorem property taxes to support a loan not to exceed $649,000,
with a maturity no longer than 10 years.
A request for proposal was advertised on February 23, 2012. The e- procurement system
recorded that 200 notifications were sent to potential bidders, 21 packages were downloaded, and
one proposal was received on March 09, 2012 from BB &T. On March 23, 2012 the Finance
Committee reviewed the single proposal and recommended Branch Banking and Trust Company,
as a qualified, responsive bidder.
FISCAL IMPACT: The principal amount of the loan shall not exceed $649,000 and is secured
by the ad valorem property tax receipts collected from property owners within the Radio Road
East MSTU. The annual fixed interest rate is 3.44% and the term is 10 years. The fee for legal
review and underwriting payable to BB &T is $3,000.
10,
Debt service on the loan will be paid from a separate debt service fund (266) and the millage rate
will be split between that tax amount required to be raised to satisfy debt and that amount for
operations. Level debt service will occur on this loan over the 10 year period from FY 13 to FY
22 at $76,800 per year. Each year the debt service levy will be calculated first.
Budget amendments will be required to establish the project in fund (166) as well as the debt
service budget in fund (266).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for
approval —SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact with this
Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopt the Resolution
accepting the fixed term loan proposal from BB &T to finance cost for landscaping and irrigation
improvements within the Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara Boulevard to the intersection of
Radio Road and Davis Boulevard Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) and enter into a loan
agreement in an amount not exceeding $649,000 and requiring such note to be payable from ad

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an amendment to Collier County Ordinance No. 2009 -44, the
Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara Boulevard to the Intersection of Radio Road and Davis
Boulevard Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) Ordinance, to remove the six -year
sunset provision and provide for the dissolution of the MSTU upon recommendation by the
MSTU Advisory Committee and approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
OBJECTIVE: To approve an amendment to Ordinance Number 2009 -44 to remove its existing
six -year sunset provision and provide for the dissolution of the Radio Road, East of Santa
Barbara Boulevard to the Intersection of Radio Road and Davis Boulevard Municipal Service
Taxing Unit (the "MSTU ") upon recommendation by the MSTU Advisory Committee and
approval by the Board of County Commissioners after the landscape and irrigation project is
completed and all indebtedness, which is in the process of being financed, is paid.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 28, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners established the
MSTU. The Committee has been meeting since October 2010 and in that short time hired a
landscape architect and developed preliminary plans for the beautification of the roadway. When
the Ordinance establishing the MSTU was enacted, it contained a six -year sunset provision. With
the downturn in property values it would take additional time to accrue the funds needed for the
construction of the project.
On March 29, 2011, the MSTU Advisory Committee held a public meeting for review of
preliminary project plans for landscaping & irrigation on Radio Road between Santa Barbara
Boulevard and Davis Boulevard. There were 41 residents who attended that publicly advertised
meeting, representing various communities within the MSTU boundary. The overwhelming
comments received during that meeting indicated that the community wanted to see the project
done as soon as possible and that the MSTU should pursue financing to advance the construction
to take advantage of lower contractor pricing.
On June 14, 2011, the MSTU Advisory Committee Chairman petitioned the Board of County
Commissioners seeking direction for staff assistance in acquiring a loan for the landscape and
irrigation installation project. The Board directed staff to assist the MSTU in obtaining the
appropriate financing to advance the project. In order to meet the MSTU Committee's financial
goals, a referendum question was posed to the qualified electors residing within the MSTU to
determine whether they agreed that the capital improvements project should be financed through
a loan and whether the ad valorem taxes already being levied can be utilized to repay said loan.
County staff worked with the Supervisor of Elections office to coordinate the timeline to submit
the referendum question for the Presidential Preference Primary. On January 31, 2012, voters
within the MSTU approved utilizing the existing ad valorem property taxes to support a loan not
to exceed $649,000, with a maturity no longer than 10 years.
1Z.,
In order to proceed with project financing the existing ordinance must be amended to remove the
six -year sunset provision to allow the life of the MSTU to extend, at a minimum, through the 10
year life of the loan.
On April 24, 2012, the Board authorized staff to advertise a proposed amendment to the
Ordinance. The Ordinance amendment has been advertised and staff is at this time
recommending approval of the amendment in order to move forward with the project and
provide for the ability to repay the project loan within the timeframe prescribed for in the loan
agreement and consistent with the Referendum approved by the voters within the MSTU.
FISCAL IMPACT: Extending the life of the MSTU will result in additional years during
which properties within the MSTU could be subject to the Radio Road East MSTU tax levy. The
immediate cost for recording the Ordinance amendment is approximately $27.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for
approval. -SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact with this
Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve an amendment to
Collier County Ordinance Number 2009 -44, to remove the current six -year sunset provision and
to provide for dissolution of the MSTU, upon recommendation by the MSTU's Advisory
Committee and approval by the Board of County Commissioners, after completion of the
landscape and irrigation project is completed and all indebtedness is paid. A copy of the
proposed Amended Ordinance is attached for the Board's review.
