EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request for authorization for County Manager or his designee to bring to the Board a
proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 92-40, as amended, which created the Immokalee
Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit, to expand the boundaries to match the
'urban boundary' within current Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (ICRA)
boundaries.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners authorize County Manager or his
designee to bring to the Board a proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 92-40, as amended,
which created the 1mmokalee Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit, in order to expand
the boundaries to match the 'Urban Boundary' within current ICRA boundaries.
CONSIDERATIONS:
· On October 8, 2009, the Immokalee MSTU and the ICRA had a joint workshop regarding
the expansion of the 1mmokalee MSTU boundaries. The boundary expansion has been
requested by the MSTU Committee to allow the Committee to expand beautification
project activity into the 'entire urban area' ofImmokalee - as the entire urban community
benefits from the beautification of the Hwy 29 corridor and also 151 Street corridor. The
expansion will therefore include all of the property owners who benefit from the
beautification projects performed by the 1mmokalee MSTU. The expansion proposal was
well received by members of the public attending the workshop.
· On February 25, 2009, the Immokalee MSTlJ made a motion to expand the boundaries to
match the 'urban boundary' within current ICRA boundaries. Copies of the minutes of
that meeting are attached in support of this request to bring forward the proposed
amendment to Ordinance No. 92-40.
FISCAL IMPACT: Expansion of the Immokalee Beautification MSTU boundaries will
increase the district's taxable value base and thus the property tax dollars raised. However, the
effect of this expansion including the tax levy implications will not be realized until the 2010 tax
year (FY 20 II). This assumes that the enabling expansion ordinance and related filings will be
completed prior to December 31,2009.
The area proposed to be included as part of the expanded MSTU boundaries has a current taxable
value of $108,928,540. However, with the projected decrease in taxable value over the 2009 and
2010 tax year, the expanded boundary area could see a taxable value reduction totaling as much
as $35,180,000 over two years. Assuming a 20 I 0 tax year valuation of approximately
$73,748,540 the application of 1.0 mils per $1,000 oftaxablc value would generate $73,748 for
the expanded boundary component. Potential total revcnue for the MSTU with the expanded
boundary totals approximately $302,000.
~
This will have an impact upon the aggregate county millage rate when this calculation is
performed for the FY 2011 budget. For purposes of TRIM, the aggregate millage rate which is a
Agenda Item No. 16811
April 14, 2009
Page 2 of9
product of dollars raised for each Collier County government taxing authority is measured
against the aggregate rolled back millage rate. Dollars raised above the aggregate rolled back
millage rate would fall outside the simple majority vote scenario - at least for the taxing
authorities levying above their individual rolled back rate.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is not quasi-judicial and requires no ex parte disclosure, requires only a
majority vote for approval, and is otherwise legally sufficient for Board action.-SRT.
RECOMMENDA TION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorize County Manager
or his designee to bring back at a future meeting a proposed amendment to Ordinance No. 92-60,
as amended, to expand the boundaries of the Immokalee Beautification MSTU to match the
current ICRA boundaries.
