VI. Projects Report:
A. Beautification MSTU Update:
1. Landscape Maintenance Update: Mr. Kindelan from CLM was in attendance and gave
the update on Bayshore Drive landscaping. The irrigation lines are running well.
However, there are some areas where the irrigation lines are in conflict with the tree
roots. His crew is working to resolve as many locations as they can. There was also an
irrigation issue in the median at the bridge that Mr. Kindelan found and then repaired.
The Sheriff's Office requested that the missing palm location south of the CRA Office
would be the perfect location to have their traffic counter in the median for 3 days.
2. New Hire: A new Director position was created and will be advertised soon. The new
Director will oversee Immokalee and Bayshore and potentially the development of a third
CRA to be located in Golden Gate City. Once the new Director is hired, that person will
then advertise and hire the Bayshore CRA Operations Manager. The Senior Project

Manager interviews are still being evaluated and more information will follow at the next
meeting.
3. Sugden Park Pathway Update: Ms. Arnold explained that county staff is looking for
alternative funding sources to construct the pathway. One option might be impact fees;
however, there are some questions that need to be addressed. Once constructed, the
County's Parks and Recreation Department will maintain it.
4. Thomasson Drive/Hamilton Avenue Streetscape Update: An Executive Summary will
be presented at the February 28th BCC agenda. The issue is the incorporation of a
roundabout to be located at Bayshore Drive and Thomasson Drive. It would be important
for as many committee members that could attend the meeting to show support since
there are 3 new commissioners and they are not familiar with the projects.
5. Karen Drive Stormwater Improvement Project: Ms. Garcia advised the committee
that the bid was advertised on January 7 and was opened earlier in the day [February 7]
secure lots for parking potential remedy to parking issues. The Procurement Department
is reviewing the low bidder to ensure all stipulations have been met. They will advise
staff if it is okay to move forward.
6. Woodsprings Extended Stay Hotel: Mr. Gutierrez advised the committee that there was
a presentation at the CRA meeting regarding a new hotel to be built at US 41 and Pine
Street. The hotel will have weekly rates and will be suites that include kitchens. The
clientele will be geared to more family prices.
7. Bayshore CRA Parking Study: Mr. Trebilcock presented the parking study at the CRA
meeting. Mr. Gutierrez suggested that based on community input that about 95% of those
present did not support the idea of on-street parking along Bayshore. Mr. Durham from
the County Manager's office provided an update that indicated that once the CRA loan is
approved and closes that there will be approximately $1.0 million available to purchase 2
parcels along Bayshore Drive instead of losing one travel lane from Bayshore. Mr.
Gutierrez had suggested that perhaps the MSTU loan the CRA money to acquire the
parcels but accepted the fact that the CRA would have their own funds.
VII. CRA Update: February 7th CRA updates are for Informational purposes and were placed in
packets. Staff asked if anyone had any questions. There were no questions.
