C. ABB Drainage Projects Mr. Carr and Mr. Cull, Agnoli, Barber and Brundage,presented a power point presentation of the proposed drainage improvements for the Forest Lakes MSTU and distributed an"Opinion of Cost." Project Overview • Improve drainage of Forest Lakes Blvd near intersection of Quail Forest Blvd. • Increase pipe size of outfall to lake. • Add headwall at lake outfall. • Add new inlet on north side of Forest Lakes Blvd. • Review of existing conditions. • Locate existing utilities. • Review disruption of landscape area and trees along pipe alignment. During Committee discussion the following was noted: • Pipe replacement is planned for the same location as the current pipe. • Diameter of pipe options—24"versus 36" and benefits of size. • Should the entire run of pipe be oval pipe versus a combination of oval and standard circular pipe? Mr. Carr noted he does not recommend continuous oval pipe based on cost increase. • Is the headwall required or can existing conditions be maintained? Mr. Carr. agreed to reevaluate the headwall construction and/or adjust the headwall to meet existing conditions. • Is there an"as built"by electrical engineers? Mr. Carr will investigate if original "as built"drawings are available. • Electrical conduits will run under the sidewalk. • The elevation variance between the road and the outfall is 2 %2 feet. • The field work is complete. • Availability of funds to finance the project. Opinion of Cost The "Opinion of Cost" submitted by Agnoli, Barber and Brundage totaled $93,737 for the stormwater improvements. $12,000 allocated for Roadway and Drainage Allowance may not be required and $16,150 budgeted for concrete endwalls may be reduced if the bank and rip rap can be restored. Coordination of Agnoli, Barber and Brundage projects to include the North and West Outfall project (proposal due February 2017)will potentially avoid incremental costs for mobilization. Mr. Schumacher noted the stormwater project and required funding is subject to review and approval by the accounting office. VI. Project Managers Report A. Budget Report and Funding Projects from Reserves for Future Mr. Schumacher presented the"Forest Lakes MSTU Fund 159, December 6, 2016" for FY17 noting: 3 • $157,255 of the $189,580 FY 17 Ad Valorem Tax budget has been collected. • The Operating Expense budget is $167,383 of which $117,974 is committed and $11,051 in invoices has been paid. • Operating Expense available balance for FY17 is $38,358.42. • Funds committed for Agnoli, Barber and Brundage engineering fees for the Study of the North& West Outfall project total $13,920. • Hart's Electric has presented a quote for lighting maintenance which, if approved, will be reflected in the January 2017 budget. • Reserve Funds total $232,700. • Total available balance of$326,005 plus funds committed and not spent yields Estimated Cash balance of$443,979. B. Perimeter Lamp Outages—Quote Requested Mr. Schumacher provided a quote for replacement of community lamp outages from Hart's Electric Inc. in the amount of$2,365.

Second by Mr. Barry. Carried unanimously 4—0. C. Traffic Study and Standardization Mr. Schumacher researched options to standardize signage and speed limits with Collier County Traffic Ops enforcement with the following results: • 30 MPH is the minimum enforceable speed; however a waiver can be requested by the MSTU to reduce the speed to 25 MPH. • An agreement can be executed between the Sheriff's department and the MSTU to enforce speed limits, a precedent set by other communities. • The feedback from residents in other communities regarding this policy has been negative. During Committee discussion the following was stated: • Forest Lakes streets are a combination of public and private property posing the question as to the right of accessibility by Collier County Traffic Ops and their ability to issue summons. • There is not a Master Homeowners Association so multiple Associations have to concur and sign off on the policy. Mr. Schumacher will invite a representative(s)from the County Traffic Division to attend a future meeting to update the Committee on new rules regarding speed limit enforcement, safety and available options. VII. New Business A. Roadway Re-striping—Quote Requested Mr. Schumacher reported one company, McShea Contracting, is authorized to re-stripe Collier County roadways.

Mr. Schumacher will investigate prior authorization of striping for golf cart and pedestrian crossings and report his findings to the Committee. Mr. Schumacher will request the contractor conduct a walk through and finalize a quote incorporating labor and materials for all streets and pedestrian and golf cart crossings. Mr. Goody moved to authorize striping of golf cart and pedestrian crossings at a cost not to exceed$5,000.00. Second by Ms. Fanning. Motion carried 3 `3es-1 "no."
