A large water valve and protection box was broken due to a traffic accident and
repaired. There is one last area at 9566 Gulf Shore Drive where the landscaping
needs to be restored in Phase I.
VI. Project Manager Report- Harry Sells
A. Budget report. For 4/3/2014— See attached. 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.
