During the last BCC meeting a motion was passed to approve county wide taxes to provide
funds to allow landscaping of an additional 50 miles of roadway medians. To prevent double
taxation, the loan for Radio Road East would be paid off, taxes for the Radio Road East MSTU
would be reduced to zero, and responsibility for maintenance would be transferred to Growth
Management. A budget deriving funds from this new MSTU was established to allow the
continuation of the RRE MSTU for one year.

no deduction for reimbursement for staff Support which was $14,500 in FY 16 which brings

meetings and save the proposed expenditure for Juristaff. Seconded by Ms Bundy. Carried
