V. Budget Report- Harry Sells
A. Ownership and Paving Rock Road
The published notice of the Board of County Commissioners proposed action of claiming the
ownership of Rock Road during the regular meeting of 4/8/2014 was discussed. If the ownership
of the road becomes public,the MSTU funds can be used to pave it. The BCC proposed action also
proposed loaning$130,000 to the MSTU to allow immediate paving.
B. 2014 Budget and Outstanding POs
Harry Sells reviewed the current budget with the Committee and the public. He noted that the
MSTU has spent very little money for the year and the available cash is approximately$43,000
with an annual income of just over$30,000.
C. 2015 Proposed Budget
Harry Sells presented a proposed budget and a long term (6 year) projection of what funds would
be available to pay back the County if Rock Road was approved to be paved from Immokalee Road
to Mingo Road. Mr. Sells also presented a FY 2015 budget for the Committee's consideration
which did not include the paving project. He explained that the dollar allocations for each line
items would remain the same whether Rock Road was paved or not for FY 2015. The only
difference being that$20,000 of funds in line item category"Other Contractual"would be used to
repay the county's loan if paving was done and would be used for something else if it wasn't
paved.
Doug Allemong made a motion to recommend to the BCC that the FY2015 Budget be applied.
Seconded by Tom Brooks.
The floor was opened to public comments. The public had several questions about the paving
proposal and whether one of the Committee members should request the item be placed on the
regular agenda for public discussion. After much deliberation the consensus of those in
attendance was to let the item remain on the BCC consent Agenda.
Many comments were made for and against making the road public and generally for paving the
road.
Several other comments not concerning the budget were made. Tom Brooks stated that he no
longer supported the public ownership of the road.
The Motion recommending approval of the FY 15 budget failed 1-2 with Doug Allemong voting for
and Dan Wing and Tom Brooks voting against. Chairman Wing suggested the FY 15 budget be
tabled until the BCC action on April 8th and then brought back to the Committee for a decision on
the budget.
VI. Old Business
No Old Business
VII. New Business
By Laws-Harry Sells reported that the County was now requiring By Laws for each of the Advisory
Boards. He will write the recommended By Laws and include them in the agenda for the next
regular meeting.
VIII. Public Comment
Most of the public comments were expended during the public discussion of the budget.
A request was made to the Project Manager before the meeting to research the potential loss of
three property owners from the MSTU and what it would do the MSTU's ability to repay a
$130,000 loan. The results of the research: The three owners generate$2520 in MSTU funds per
year or 8.2%of the total received. There is no basis to assume that these three properties would
be lost from the MSTU and even if it did happen,the loss would not harm the MSTU financially.
Dan Wing took a straw vote for those in favor of keeping the road private—6 were in favor.
Doug Allemong took a straw vote to ask for those in favor of making the road public and paved.
12 voted in favor.
Doug Allemong took a straw vote to ask for those in favor of keeping the road private and not
paving it 7 voted in favor.
