Roll Call: Advisory Board Members Present: Sheila DiMarco (Acting Chair, Vice- Chair), Maurice Gutierrez, George Douglas, Robert Messmer, and Sandra Arafet. *Chairman Stephen Jaron will be running for the Collier County Commission District 4 seat. He has resigned due to Collier County Code Section 2-830. (Resignation letter included in Agenda Packet). Sheila DiMarco, Vice-Chair of the Bayshore Beautification MSTU sat in as Acting Chair for the May 2, 2018 meeting. Chair Elections will take place at the June 6, 2018 meeting. MSTU Staff Present: Shirley Garcia, Operations Coordinator; Tami Scott, Senior Project Mgr.; Debrah Forester, CRA Director; Naomi Hutcheson, Administrative Assistant. II. Pledge of Allegiance: Led by Acting Chair, Vice-Chair Sheila DiMarco. III. Adoption of Agenda: Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to accept the Agenda as is. Bob Messmer second. Passed Unanimously. IV. Adoption of Minutes: Sandra Arafet made a motion to pass the April 4, 2018 Minutes as is. Maurice Gutierrez second. Passed Unanimously. V. Community/ Business Presentations: A. Update on Landscaping—Aaron Gross, Ground Zero Landscaping— Medians/Irrigation are both doing very well. A few repairs have been done, but nothing major. Primary focus has been on pruning and vine removal to keep desired vegetation healthy. The Committee request that landscaping keep an eye on the happenings at the Food Truck Park development. Aaron stated that they are and are waiting for the box moving. VI. Old Business: A. Relocation of Irrigation Pump Becca and Bayshore: Staff received the bid from Arcadian Builders regarding the relocation of an irrigation pump at the Food Truck Park development. Points of interest: Pump is on easement. There will still be a 7.5ft Utility Easement. Total cost to BMSTU of relocation—including reset, 2 paving, and Arcadian Services—is $13,159.00. Initial discussions referenced a number between $8k-$10k. Those discussions did not include the approximately $3200 management fee. The developer is responsible for the moving of the box, but the BMSTU agreed to assist with funding. Staff set up a project meeting with Harry Sells—Project Manager with Michele Arnold in Transportation—as a resource for logistic and experience references. The box was originally placed in the wrong location. The box should be moved by the developer since it will make it easier to coincide with their construction. The reimbursement process is similar to the reimbursement process for grants. Staff will get legal involved in drawing up the appropriate paperwork. It was suggested the box be covered with a designed vinyl wrap since Bayshore is an arts district. Maurice Gutierrez made a motion to move forward by authorizing Tami Scott to negotiate the final amount and perform whatever actions are needed to complete the project so long as the final total does not exceed $13,159. Sandra second with the stipulation that anything exceeding that amount be the responsibility of the developer. Passed Unanimously. B. Thomasson Drive-Staff Update: The Procurement Package and request for bids on construction and CEI services is in the cue with the Procurement Department (Verify). BCC awarded contract on April 4, 2018, and is expected to approve everything in September 2018. Construction expected to start October 2018 with a 1 year timeline. They will start on the end of Hamilton and coordinate with Avalon Elementary to minimize construction in school zone. C. Redevelopment Plan: The Redevelopment Plan meetings were very successful. Any additional comments or input should be emailed to Evan at Tindall Oliver. Tindall Oliver will report back to CRA staff in June. Committee and community members will receive an invite to the next Public Forum. The Committee would like to add a desire for more connectivity/egress in the back of the streets on Bayshore. They also discussed possible solutions to Sugden Park. VII. New Business, Budget: A. Millage: The BMSTU’s fund is 163. The Committee has been asked to make a recommendation for their 2019 millage rate to be brought before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Their current millage rate is 2.3604. They can ask for a maximum of 3.0. There has been a 6% increase in property values. Remaining millage neutral still gives a 6% raise in incoming funds. If the Committee chooses to raise their millage, it would be sent to the BCC for review, a public notice would be sent out, property owners would be informed, they need a 50+1 to pass. The Committee discussed the issue and determined they would like to wait to raise the millage rate until after the completion of the Thomasson Drive Improvement Project has finished so that the property owners can see what they have accomplished. Bayshore needs some “sprucing up,” (a list should be compiled after the start of the 3 Thomasson project). A list of BMSTU accomplishments should be sent out with the letter asking property owners to pass a higher millage rate when the time comes. Sandra Arafet made a motion to keep millage neutral. Second by George Douglas. Passed Unanimously. VIII. Staff Report: A. Project List Update: Tami Scott, Senior Project Manager, highlighted a few items from the Project List: Mini-triangle hearing with BCC is May 8, 2018. Food Truck scheduled to open September 2018. Brewery Ground Breaking Ceremony May 7, 2018 at 3:30 pm. Starbucks scheduled to open in less than a month. Racetrac has filed a Request for Legal Services (RLS) and has yet to submit their Site Development Plan. Woodsprings site is grading. Compass Cottage on market with 20 units. Mattamay did a presentation for CRA on May 1, 2018. Cirrus Point has been sold, the property closed, and staff will reach out to the buyer to inquire of their intentions. B. Financials: Do to technical issues, staff did not have a copy of the financials. Staff is working on coming up with a better monthly update format, which will be very important during the construction period. IX. Correspondence and Communications: A. Walking Audit Report: A copy of the Blue Zone “Walking Audit Report” was included in the Agenda Packet for the Committee to review and come back with questions and comments at their next meeting. X. Sherriff’s Department: Office Mike Nelson brought in statistics for the Bayshore District garnered from the General Crimes Bureau Criminal Investigations Division, District 3. While he could not distribute copies of the report, the numbers indicated a significant decrease in criminal activity for the Bayshore District in the last 2 years. Permission was granted to publish the statistics in the Minutes. No open calls were included. Crime statistics for the area can also be found at colliersherriff.org CALLS HOME BURGLARIES CAR BREAK-IN TRAFFIC 2016 331 11 5 90 2017 116 12 5 21 2018 10 4 0 17 XI. Public Comments: Community member/Growth Management Employee Lisa Blacklidge, commented that she agreed the area would be more receptive to the higher millage rate once the Thomasson Dr project was underway. She also mentioned that the side streets in the area are very rough and in need of better maintenance, and the area in general needs painting and cleaning. There was also a discussion about the Isle of Collier and rumors of development and construction. 4 XI. Staff Comments: Debrah advised the Committee that Stephen Jaron’s resignation letter is in the Agenda Packet. The Committee will elect a new Chair at next month’s meeting. She also gave a brief update on the 17 acres: Arno is doing their Due Diligence. Capital and Cohen are the new investors. Jeff Neil is the principal. CAPA and VPac had a cultural arts meeting on May 1, 2018. Purchase and Sales Agreement goes to the BCC on June 26, 2018. XII. Advisory Committee Comments: Maurice suggested the CRA and MSTU approach a local artist to see if he would be willing to donate tiles for the bridge. He also makes fish with names on them. Committee and staff will revisit the subject closer to September once an Art Consultant has been hired. They will also work on identifying the artist in the area and determining whose style is complimentary to the areas vision. XIII. Next Meeting Date: June 6, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. XIV.
