Item # 16.K.1
ID# 2025-2778
Executive Summary
Recommendation to declare a vacancy on the Golden Gate Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee.
OBJECTIVE: To declare a seat to be vacant on the Golden Gate Beautification MSTU Advisory Committee.
CONSIDERATIONS: This five-member committee was created by Ordinance No. 87-78 to advise and make
recommendations to the BCC regarding the beautification and maintenance of landscape improvements within the road
right of way as described by ordinance boundary and to annually prepare an itemized budget of the amount of money
required to carry out the business of the committee for the next Fiscal Year. Members must be residents of one of the
following precincts: 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, and part of 322. Terms are 4 years. A list of the current membership is
included in the backup.
A member of this board, Paula Rogan, has been unable to attend multiple Golden Gate Beautification MSTU Advisory
Committee meetings, all being unexcused absences. Collier County Ordinance No. 2001-55, as amended, provides that
if any board member is absent from two consecutive meetings without a satisfactory excuse acceptable to the board
chairperson, the board chairperson shall state such fact at the next board meeting and if the Commission concurs with
the chairperson’s notification, the Commission shall declare the board member’s position to be vacant.
There is currently one vacant seat at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recently communication was established with Ms. Rogan’s family. Ms. Rogan will
not be able to participate in any further advisory board meetings and is unable to officially resign. So, staff has
recommended removing Ms. Rogan by resolution. An email is attached as backup.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. –JAK
RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of County Commissioners considers Staff Recommendation, declares Paula
Rogan’s seat to be vacant, and directs the County Attorney to prepare a resolution confirming the declaration of vacancy
and to publicize the vacancy.

Hello, Madison,
For several months now, committee member Paula Rogan has neither attended the monthly MSTU public meeting nor
informed of planned absences.
It was recently learned that, unfortunately, she now resides in a memory care unit and cannot communicate with
others, including myself and fellow committee members.
Request: On this basis, please initiate her dismissal from the advisory committee.
Respectfully,
Dan Schumacher
