V. Staff Discussion
a. AMUC – Annual Report Update
• As far as the rate indexing moving forward, unfortunately we don’t have Ave Maria
here today. There were some items for potential discussion from our last meeting,
which were resolved. We are planning on within the next couple of months, putting
together maybe an additional meeting for them to come and cover those results of
their findings with you.
• For the next meeting the board members ask if they could see plans for any
expansion and forecasted growth in Ave Maria
• The GIS section is under our group; maybe we can put together a heat map, kind of
showing up to this point and then what future growth may look like.
• The board members expressed their concerns that the forecasted growth will
continue to affect water quality.
• All this information is available on the Collier County pollution control website;
where they have maps and reports listed. One particular report to pay attention to is
called the ten years look back, it gives a nice profile of water quality.

•Another issue that the board members expressed concerns was about the
threshold on capacity requirements. (This topic will be added to the next agenda)
•The Ave Maria Utility annual report is scheduled to come out on or before April
30th.
