FY20.
Total revenue FY21 is $1,304,234.75 including investment interest, transfers, and
contributions (minus a 5% reserve of $25,100.00 – based on total revenue plus Investment
Interest of $8,000.00).
The FY-21 Millage rate remains constant at 0.5000%.
Current Operating Expense Budget is $330,834.75 of which Commitments total
$153,180.06; Expenditures $46,528.33.
Uncommitted Operating Expense funds available are $131,126.36.
The Landscape Ground Maintenance Purchase Order, Line 17, is for routine monthly
maintenance. Resolution of inconsistencies between contract specifications and actual bills
submitted resulted in payments processed for September through November 2020.
When the amount of funds expended in Line 16 exceeds the amount budgeted, the negative
figure in budget remainder column will be shown in red through the end of the fiscal year.*
The Landscape Incidentals PO, Line 16, will fund median landscape refurbishment. The
budgeted amount will be increased from $30,000.00 to $55,000.00, as approved by the
Committee, via a transfer of funds out of Capital Outlay or expending Operating Expense
balance.
Florida Power & Light expense funds electricity for lights and pumps.

upon completion of median refurbishment.

appropriate entities.
Total available balance, less committed expenses, is $1,091,7555.38.

The Committee queried funding sources available for catastrophic events.
Mr. Schumacher noted the Capital Outlay Fund can be accessed by the Committee to finance
repairs/replacement of assets related to a catastrophic event such as a hurricane.

budget to be designated for hurricane preparedness.

Artist Rendering of the Proposed Golden Gate Parkway Complete Streets Project which includes
a transformation of the existing infrastructure along Golden Gate Parkway. The project will install
wider sidewalks, street trees, and lighting thereby making the corridor safer, and more inviting for
residents, visitors and businesses.
Golden Gate Parkway RAISE

Project Location:
o Golden Gate City is a tight-knit community of approximately 36,000 people
residing in a four-square-mile area situated one mile east of I-75 and eight miles
northeast of Naples in Collier County, FL.
o Three of the four census tracts within Golden Gate City (104.1, 104.11 and 104.2)
have been defined as areas of Persistent Poverty zones.
o The Golden Gate Parkway Complete Streets Transformation Project will enhance
and create additional sidewalks, pedestrian and transit features, and mobility
facilities in Golden Gate City.
Golden Gate City has a vision to create a safe, diverse, family-oriented community that
offers easy access to education, parks, shopping and services within a vibrant walkable
community.
Over the past several years, consistent policies, plans and ordinances emphasizing the
vision of a vibrant economic hub with improved aesthetics and walkability have been
approved.
This grant will help revitalize and rebuild the Golden Gate Parkway corridor which is
central to stimulating the community redevelopment and attract private development.
This project is designed to grow the existing pedestrian network by providing expanded,
wider and safer facilities to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians and initiate the
community renewal for economic development through the infrastructure improvements.
According to the 2019 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, over 17% of the
population of Golden Gate City live in poverty. The national average for the same
timeframe is 10.5% and the State of Florida is 12.7%. The Median household income in
2019 dollars for Golden Gate City is under $49,000 the median household income for
Collier County is just under $70,000.
Approximately 34% of those living in Golden Gate City work in the Service Industry and
over 20% work in the construction industry. Golden Gate City is over 60% Hispanic or
Latino. Over 21% of the population of Golden Gate City carpools to work. Residents of
Golden Gate City are almost 3 times as likely to commute to work on a bicycle than that
of the national average, indicating that if there were safer and more efficient pedestrian,
bicycle and transit accessible facilities, they would be used.
This project will include better and wider bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will connect
residents to employment and shopping hubs, several local schools, and existing businesses
along the corridor. It will also entice more businesses to invest in the community and
strengthen the local economy. The enhanced mobility to jobs and services will provide
opportunities to thousands of people in a predominantly minority and low-income
neighborhood. The combined benefits will help transform a distressed area. This

investment in the area could make a significant difference in the economy, the creation of
jobs and continue to transform the community.
The Collier MPO, as part of their Bike and Ped Master Plan in 2019, created a map of the
Environmental Justice (EJ) areas within Collier County and designated the area of Golden
Gate City as a Very High EJ area. The Collier MPO’s 2021 Local Roads Safety Plan listed
Golden Gate Parkway as the #1 Intersection High Crash Corridor on two of the Emphasis
Area criteria tables. The Collier MPO also designated the Golden Gate Parkway corridor
as a medium crash area with most of the crashes involving people walking and biking
occurring on higher speed and higher volume roads such as Golden Gate Parkway. In
2018, the Collier MPO completed the Golden Gate City Walkable Community Study which
prioritized many of the projects included in the grant.
This project will:
o Provide connected facilities that will enhance investments that the County has
recently made within the area and further the goals, objectives and policies in the
Golden Gate Area Master Plans, Opportunity Zones, and Walkability Study.
o Provide safe areas for residents to be able to travel either directly to their employer
or to board the Collier Area Transit system.
Project benefits:
o Safety – the project will convey traffic safer and more efficiently and decrease the
potential for crashes.
o Environmental Sustainability – reducing carbon emissions, noxious emissions
and reduces environmental impacts as it relieves congestion.
o Quality of Life – Currently residents of Golden Gate City have limited access to
good local jobs and opportunities within their community. This project is a great
opportunity for walkers and cyclists to safely use the new facilities for recreation
and as a means to access jobs, medical services, and education centers.
o Economic Competitiveness – the project will improve access to the transportation
network by bringing transit stops into ADA compliance and creating safer stops at
heavily used locations. These modifications to the roadway and transit facilities
will help transform the community and local economy.
o State of Good Repair – the project will carry people and goods safely and more
efficiently.
o Redevelopment – A large commercial development used to be home to a Kmart
but has been vacant for several years. This large vacant store and parking lot are
centrally located on Golden Gate Parkway which is the backbone of the economic
redevelopment of the community. Rebuilding the look and feel of the corridor will
continue the work started by the community leaders to revitalize the area.
o This project will help create access to education and jobs.
Within the area of the project (approximately 4 square miles) there are:
9 public and private schools
Over 12 churches
1 large community park
2 small community parks
4 health clinics
1 sports & recreation center
1 government facility with a fire
station, sheriff’s office, tax
collector, library and post office
1 community garden
1 BMX skate park
