13. Advisory Committee Comments
Maurice Gutierrez Chairman commentsDraft
▪ “I understand the cost of spending, but I'm also going to... make the statement that
the commissioner needs to be educated on the fact that when an MSTU is trusted
upon a community, it is that community requesting to spend those monies. It is not
tax money, it is our additional money that makes our neighborhood And it irks me
that that perspective is not understood professionally. To say, look, honestly, the least
affordable community is putting money out to look nice. I wonder if they have the
same perspective with the Pelican Bay in their motion. And they're in the seat of
another in the seat. So I'm just, for the record, I'm not happy that they don't
acknowledge that. And they consistently misunderstand the MSTU and the CRA
even though we're cooperative and very symbiotic in what we do. The big difference
is that it's an additional tax we choose to pay. And I don't like others that don't pay
telling us how we can spend it. That's just my personal opinion.”
