VI. PROJECT MANAGERS REPORT
A. MSTU Bylaws
Revisions to “The Forest Lakes Roadway & Drainage Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU)

B. Budget Report
Mr. Schumacher presented the “Forest Lakes MSTU Fund 159, September 3, 2019” for FY19
noting:
FY19 Ad Valorem property tax revenue budget is $278,900.00, an increase of 6.18%.
Total revenue FY19 is $444,027.00 including investment interest, transfers and
contributions (minus a 5% reserve of $14,000).
Operating Expense Budget is $178,027.00 of which $29,609.39 is committed; $99,530.03
expended.
Unencumbered Operating Expense funds available are $48,887.58.
Two Purchase Orders for Lykins Signtek in the amount of $5,848.00 (Street & Traffic
Signs) and $17595.00 (Roadway Signage) are reflected in the Capital Outlay budget,
Line 35. Capital Outlay budget remainder is $126,657.00.
Reserves of $23,100.00, line 42, are adequate.
$48,887.58 in Operating Expenses and $126,657 in the Capital Outlay category are
anticipated to “roll-over” to the FY-20 budget.
Upon termination of the bond payments in 2022, capital maintenance projects such as
drainage, sidewalks and street paving will be considered.
Total available balance for FY-19 is $200,740.82.
The Forest Lakes MSTU FY-20 budget is effective October 1, 2019. Purchase Order requests
for FY-20 will be submitted. Lykins Signtek Traffic & Street Signs and Roadway Signage
Purchase Orders will roll over to FY-20.
C. Status Report
1. Trees
Six (6) Crepe Myrtle, two (2) Queen Crepes and two (new) trees were planted as part of
the Sidewalk Tree Project Replacement Plan.
Members noted the purpose of tree planting in the Right of Way (ROW) is to provide
shade for residents while they enjoy outdoor sidewalk activities.
MINUTES
September 3, 2019 Forest Lakes MSTU 3/5
Mr. Schumacher will:
Contact residents prior to the 2020 rainy season to provide them an opportunity to
reconsider their decision to have trees planted in the Right of Way (ROW).
2. Roadway Signage
A Notice-to-Proceed was issued to Lykins-Signtek for the street name and traffic signs
identified for replacement. The project is anticipated to commence late September to
early October 2019.
Mr. Schumacher will request the Road Maintenance Department review placement of
the “no left turn” sign exiting the shopping center, noting the sign is knocked down on a
regular basis, and relay their recommendation to the Committee.
The Committee’s proposal to place an additional “no left turn” sign on the southeast
side of the roadway will be taken under advisement.
3. Stormwater – Staff Gauges
The following was noted:
Staff Gauges to measure water level and flow in the lakes are on order. Two gauges
will be installed, one each at the entry and exit sides of Lake 5.
Data collection will assist the County in determining weir water levels at the southwest
corner compared with recommended levels.
A survey, based on a global reference point, will be ordered to establish a common
reference with the Golden Gate Canal Study.
4. Light Pole Re-Numbering
Light pole renumbering on the north side of Forest Lakes Boulevard to eliminate numeric
duplication, including letter designation on the entry way pole and to provide ease of
identification, is complete. Light pole #156 is now #50. Original numbers will be painted over
after the rainy season.
Ms. Rosio Garcia will update the map to reflect the current pole numbers and integrate
the data into the Cartegraph Asset Tracking and Work Maintenance Inventory System.
Mr. Schumacher will email the updated map to Committee members.
5. Replacement Light Pole – Woodshire Lane
Mr. Schumacher reported:
Light pole installation on Woodshire Lane is complete.
Failure of the photo eye and connection to the photo eye on Woodshire Lane, and a
section of Forest Lakes Boulevard resulted in extensive light outages. The malfunction
is scheduled to be corrected.
6. Code Enforcement
Staff sent an inquiry to Code Enforcement requesting The Crossings be notified of their
responsibility to cut the hedge screening Woodshire Lane.
Clusia could be an alternative planting to the hedge; irrigation is present at the site.
MINUTES
September 3, 2019 Forest Lakes MSTU 4/5
D. Procurement
1. RFQ – Wire Fence Repair
The Request for Quote (RFQ) to repair two retaining wall Cable fences on Lakes 2 and
7 was submitted to the Procurement Division for review.
In accordance with County policy, an Invitation to Bid will be posted on Bid-Sync, the
County’s internet-based quote solicitation system. A purchase order will be issued to
the lowest qualified bidder in accordance with County policy.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Barry addressed the Committee concerning maintenance of the Australian Pines along the stretch
of Pine Ridge Road abutting the golf course highlighting:
Collier County mandated the Quail Run Golf Club maintain the growth of the Australian
Pines along the stretch of Pine Ridge Road abutting the golf course.
The trees border the Hurricane Evacuation Route designated by the County.
County Road 896 is the only evacuation route available to the Forest Lakes M.S.T.U.
community.
A letter dated July 10, 1985, from the Board of County Commissioners, stated Collier County
would undertake the necessary trimming work on the pine trees to minimize the effects of
natural needle, cone, and branch accumulations in the roadway drainage system and to reduce
the driving hazard created by wet needles on the pavement and branches falling onto traffic
(Committee members and Staff were copied on the letter).
The cost of the maintenance was shifted to Quail Run in 1997.
The responsibility to maintain safety and the accessibility of the evacuation route should be
County responsibility.
The FY-19 Operating Expense budget surplus of $40,000.00 plus, slated to be rolled over to
FY-20, should be utilized to trim the trees.
Mr. Barry moved that the Forest Lakes M.S.T.U. trim the Australian Pines on Pine Ridge
Road when necessary in 2020, and before the next mandated trimming due in three years, a
permanent solution to protect the evacuation route be established among Collier County
departments. Second by Mr. Fogg. Carried unanimously 5 – 0.
Mr. Schumacher will:
Provide a copy of the letter to the appropriate County agencies.
Research the feasibility of amending the ordinance of the Forest Lakes Roadway and Drainage
M.S.T.U. to include the maintenance.
VIII. ON GOING BUSINESS
Swales
Staff will review any issues with swales maintenance.
IX. PUBLIC COMMENT
Stacie Young queried regarding the M.S.T. U’s actions to alleviate flooding during storm events at
the entrance to the community.
The Committee responded:
Drainage improvement is the primary function of the Advisory Committee.
A Drainage Structures Stormwater Improvement Project for Catch Basin & Piping was
undertaken between Forest Lakes Boulevard and Lake 18. The project significantly reduced
water accumulation in the area.
MINUTES
September 3, 2019 Forest Lakes MSTU 5/5
A Master Stormwater Management Program to improve water flow, reduce ponding and
improve drainage through a major golf course redesign, has been proposed as a cooperative
project between the Quail Run Golf Club and the M.S.T.U.
A resident in the community filled in the swale on their property. Staff will notify Code
Enforcement.
Kathy Thompson requested the following:
A copy of the Agnoli, Barber and Brundage’s (ABB) Gorden River Watershed Study
document referred to in the August 6, 2019 minutes. Mr. Schumacher will email the report.
M.S.T.U. assistance in enforcing yard care maintenance compliance for two homes on
Gardenia Lane and Forest Lakes Boulevard. Staff inquired about the property addresses and
suggested Code Enforcement be contacted.
X. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned
by the Chair at 11:35 P.M.
