Cash on Hand $5,494,366.96. Bentley Electric has stopped work due to our inability to pay FPL the tariff conversion charges. Bentley's PO has been extended until Sept 30, 2014 to allow more time to complete the work due to issues beyond his control. Hole Montes' new contract for CEI is due to be approved by the BCC on 4/8/2014. B. Status of escrow account- Clerk The escrow account is being actively negotiated by the Clerk's office, the County Attorney, and FPL. It has gone back and forth several times. The Committee raised concern with the one year maximum time limit between phases to keep all of the FPL discounts. Phase I was completed on Sept 23, 2014. If the escrow agreement and all other matters aren't resolved soon the discounts of approximately $500,000 may be lost. C. Gulf Shore Drive Sidewalk Report Harry Sells walked the southern third of Gulf Shore Drive with Jackie Bammel, Sunset Bay, to discuss the need and potential for sidewalks on Gulf Shore Drive. Some years ago the county investigated installing complete ADA approved sidewalks on the west side of Gulf Shore Drive. At that time the cost of connecting sidewalks with the existing driveways at the various elevations, made the project economically prohibitive. Sidewalks on the East side of Gulf Shore would be possible. The elevations are much better, and the clear right of way is wider. It is possible for the MSTU to perform this function, but current revenues are dedicated to the long term project of utility burial. The consensus of the board was to see if the county could be induced to provide the needed sidewalks. The street is currently well down on the list by the county to provide sidewalks. Chairman Arthur will investigate the possibility. VII. OLD BUSINESS NONE VIII. NEW BUSINESS NONE IX. MEMBER COMMENT NONE X. PUBLIC COMMENT No Public Present XI.
