Request to Speak under Public Petitions to the Collier County Board of Commissioners
Question: Please explain in detail the reason you are requesting to speak:
County Ordinance 2013-43, approved on June 24, 2013, by the County Board of Commissioners,
amended County Ordinance 95-84, as amended by Ordinance No.02-59, which created the Radio Road
Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit, providing for Amendment to Section Three TO EXPAND
THE PURPOSE TO INCLUDE THE COST FOR CURBING. WATERING FACILITIES, PTANTINGS, AND
MAINTENANCE OF THE NORTH ENTRANCE OF THE RICH KING MEMORIAT GREENWAY, which i5 IoCAtEd
along Radio Road, within the boundaries of the unit; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and
Ordinances; providing for conflict and severability; and providing for an effective date.
There are 6,566 taxpayers supporting the Radio Road Beautification MSTU. Ordinance 2013-43
expanded the scope of County Ordinance 96-84 and changed the intent of Ordinance 96-84 without
holding any public meetings, providing proper notification to the 6,566 supporting property owners, or
gaining support from the 6,566 supporting property owners.
The knowledge of this Ordinance was not brought to the attention of the 6,566 supporting property
owners untilthe County held a public meeting re8arding the Radio Road Beautification MSTU in April
2018. The County MSTU managers followed up with a mailed survey to 6.214 supporting taxpayers of
the Radio Road Beautification MSTU. The survey contained only 2 questions. The first question. "Are
you in favor of the MSTU considerin8 future proiects to enhance the area, asking to check either the
"Yes" or "No" box. Seventy percent of those responding checked "No".
As of this date, no ground work has be8un on the Rich KinB Memorial Greenway. I understand the
landscape design has been approved by the Florlda Power and Light Company which share the
Greenway with the County owned propeny.
I contend the expansion of Ordinance 96-84 with Ordinance 2013-43 was improperly handled by County
officials since the County did not hold public meetings or provide notification to the MSTU's supporting
taxpayers.
I also contend the Radio Road Beautification Advisory Board does not represent the people being taxed
for this MSTU. Three of the large ma.ior communities have no representation on this MSTU'S Advisory
Board, yet these communities represent more than half of the 6,566 MSTU supporting taxpayers. These
communities are: Countryside GCC, Glen Eagle GCC, and Fox Fire GCC. Sitting on the five-member
MSTU Advisory Board are two representatives from Wind Jammer Village, one representative from
Berkshire Lakes community, one representative from Briarwood Community, and one representative
without any Community affiliation.
Thus, I contend that County Ordinance 2013-43 was not properly vetted, and since no ground work has
been started, it is now the proper time for the County Commissioners to Sun-5€t this Ordinance based
on survey results from last June which reflected 72 percent of the supporting taxpayers were not in
favorofany new beautification enhancements. Therefore, I request that th is ordina nce be ca nceled.
forthwith, and that no further work be done on it.
