CONSIDERATIONS: BCC Ordinance No. 97-82 created the Bayshore Beautification MSTU, and the BCC assigned the administrative duties to the CRA staff on March 10, 2009. The Bayshore Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee has considered funding a full-time employee (FTE) for a period of five years to perform essential project management functions. In discussions between the CRA Advisory Board and MSTU Advisory Committee, it was agreed that a full-time position could be maintained in the CRA for MSTU work, provided the MSTU agreed to fully fund the position from their revenues. The FTE for MSTU project management has been discussed with the County Manager's office, Human Resources Department and Office of Management & Budget. All concur with this action. On February 2,2010 at a publically advertised meeting, the MSTU Advisory Committee voted to augment the current CRA staff beginning in FYI 0 to provide full-time administrative support for the anticipated work load and planned projects. On March 2,2010, the Local CRA Advisory Board recommended that the CRA Board accept the additional MSTU FTE position (Project Manager - BCC Pay Grade 22) under the CRA Executive Director, to be fully funded in FYIO from MSTU Fund 163. The BCC Classification Specifications for Project Manager is attached as Exhibit A. Attached as backup to document the projects and programs currently underway are the Bayshore Beautification MSTU FYIO Goals and Project List as Exhibit B, and the CRA Staff Project Assignment List as Exhibit C.

Their goal is to design improvements and fund a 3-mile street/beautification improvement project by FYI2. Also the Advisory Committee is considering funding a walkable streets survey, a complete major improvement to existing landscape features and installing side street (residential) lighting.
