Authorization
The Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Services Division,
wishes to inform the City Commission of action taken by the Tuscawilla Lighting and
Beautification District Advisory Board at their regular October 15, 2008 Advisory Board
Meeting.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to inform the City Commission of action taken by the
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Board (TLBD) in reducing
the TLBD Advisory Board Meetings from monthly to quarterly.
CONSIDERATION:
The TLBD Phase 2 Beautification Project was completed in October 2008, with all
original expectations and additions to the project being satisfied at that time. Completion of
this project allows for the Assessment District to enter into `maintenance mode', requiring
less Staff time to be dedicated for management of new construction and more time to be
devoted for day-to-day business activities.
On October 15, 2008, at a regular Advisory Board Meeting, the TLBD Advisory Board
voted unanimously to reduce the TLBD Advisory Board Meeting Frequency from twelve
(12) meetings per year to four (4) meetings per year (quarterly), effective with the January
21, 2009 meeting. The new meeting schedule will be in effect for the following months:
January, April, July and October. The ability to request a special meeting will continue to
be available to the TLBD Advisory Board, should the need arise. No other meeting details
have changed.

The reduction in frequency of TLBD Advisory Board Meetings will result in a yearly
savings of two thousand dollars ($2k) from the TLBD Maintenance (184) Fund in City
Clerk's Staff costs.
