C. Budget Report
Mr. Schumacher summarized the “Golden Gate MSTU Fund Budget 153 dated September 21,
2021” for information purposes and provided an overview of the budget noting:
FY21 Ad Valorem property tax revenue budget is $493,900.00, an increase of 11.44% over
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 Commitment’s total $125,808.27;
Expenditures $127,505.84.
Uncommitted Operating Expense funds available are $77,520.64.
Invoices for Median Refurbishment will be debited from Landscape Incidentals, Line 16. The
budgeted amount will be increased from $30,000.00 to $55,000.00, as approved by the
Committee, and will be offset by the reserve surplus in Operating expense, Line 33.
When the amount of funds expended in Line 16 exceeds the amount budgeted, the negative
figure in the budget remainder column will be shown in red through the end of the fiscal year.
The Landscape Ground Maintenance Purchase Order, Line 17, is for routine monthly
maintenance. Inconsistencies between contract specifications and actual bills submitted has
resulted in delayed processing of invoices. The budget remainder of $80,000.00 is adequate.
FY-21 outstanding expenditures for landscape maintenance and refurbishment will be applied
to Mainscape’s FY-21 Purchase Order, rolled over to FY-22.
Naples Electric Motor Works invoice, in the amount of $606.46, funded a repair to the
variable frequency drive on the irrigation pump on Hunter Blvd.
Florida Power & Light expense funds electricity for lights and pumps.
SiteOne supplies parts for the irrigation system.
Transfer to 111, Line 37, is reimbursement for MSTU staff salaries and partially for services
provided by other County divisions.
Improvements General Fund, Line 36, reserved to fund capital projects or multi-year
landscape contract deficit, available balance is $905,000.00. Funds can be accessed for project
participation consistent with the beautification ordinance.
MINUTES

Financial Transfer to the Property Appraiser, Line 38, is fees for services rendered by the
department.
Financial Transfer to the Tax Collector, Line 39, is fees incurred for verification of MSTU tax
collections.
Total available balance, less committed expenses, is $983,760.13.
Unexpended funds will roll over to the FY-22 budget.
The Golden Gate M.S.T.U. FY-22 budget is effective October 1, 2021. Unexpended funds from
Operating Expenses and the Capital Outlay category will be “rolled-over” to the FY-22 budget.
Purchase Order requests for FY-22 will be submitted to the Procurement Division.
D. Replacement Bridge – Santa Barbara Canal
Dennis McCoy, Sr. Engineering Project Manager, Collier County Growth Management Division
(GMD), updated Mr. Schumacher on the project and confirmed receipt of the M.S.T.U.’s railing sample
