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.

Prepared By: Darryl Richard, Project Manager, Department of Alternative Transportation Modes Attachments: (1) Resolution, (2) Loan Agreement, (3) Distribution List, (4) Proposal H A, 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.
