Board of County Commissioners

Naples, FL 34112
Subject: Request for assistance with Project Financing - Radio Road East MSTU Advisory Board.
Dear Commissioners:
On July 28, 2009 the Board of County Commissioners created the Radio Road East of Santa
Barbara MSTU Advisory Committee. The committee is responsible for coordinating with County
staff on the completion of the Radio Road Landscaping Beautification project extending from
Santa Barbara Boulevard east to Davis Boulevard. A conceptual design has been completed for
the project with a cost estimate of $735,701 for construction.
Given the current taxable value of the properties within the MSTU boundary, the MSTU will not
have sufficient accrued funds to begin the project until fiscal year 2017. The Radio Road East
MSTU Advisory Committee respectfully requests that the Board of County Commissioners
support the advisory committee's effort in obtaining financing to allow construction of the
project to begin sooner. The Advisory Committee believes this would result in lower
construction quotes/bids during this time of economic recession. The Advisory Committee
request that the Board of County Commissioners advance funding from reserves or any other
options that staff may propose.
It is possible that options proposed by staff may require a referendum election to be held and
an affirmative vote from a majority of the electors within the Radio Road East MSTU. An
election likely would not be required if the Board of County Commissioners simply determines

on an annual basis how much, if any, to repay the advance from MSTU funds. The MSTU
Committee is willing to bring the matter before the MSTU electorate provided the Board looks
favorably upon our request. Because the timing for the completion of this project is of concern
for the MSTU, the Committee recommends bringing the issue to the voters within the MSTU
boundaries during the upcoming Presidential Primary (anticipated sometime January - March
2012) rather than waiting for the general election process in November 2012. There will be no
cost for conducting the referendum at that time and the sooner the question is polled, the
sooner the project can get underway.
The Radio Road East MSTU advisory committee is under increasing pressure from the public to
'get the project done' and recent budget projections indicate that the project would not have
sufficient funds until FY-2017, 2 years beyond current sunset date.
We would like to review the funding options with staff and have your support in advancing our
project while saving public funds and completing the project ahead of its current schedule.
Sincerely,
Radio Road East of Santa Barbara to David Blvd. MSTU Advisory Board:
