REGULAR AGENDA - PART II ITEM 502
TUSCAWILLA LIGHTING & BEAUTIFICATION DISTRICT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE AGENDA | JANUARY 21, 2026 SPECIAL MEETING
TITLE
TLBD Enhancement Projects FY26
SUMMARY
Following the direction provided to City staff at the November 19, 2025 TLBD board
meeting, City staff has prepared an outline with approximate costs for various
enhancement and upgrade projects that can be completed in FY26.
Currently, the TLBD Maintenance budget for FY26 includes $75,000 allocated for
Assessment District Rehabilitation in GL160-15-0000-545270, R&M Infra Grounds.
Estimated Costs for each of the enhancement areas are as follows:
WS Blvd Median and Tuscora Entrance Landscaping Renovations $575,800
North Foutain Rehab $176,000
Decorative Street Sign Refurbishment $50,000
Small Monument Landscape Renovations $18,000
Main Entrance Landscape Lighting Refit $19,000
The landscaping enhancement costs were calculated by City staff using materials only
quotes from a local supplier that has previously worked with the City. An additional
percentage was added to these material costs to estimate installation cost that would be
charged by a qualified landscape contractor.
Formal installation quotes have not been obtained yet from contractors. Preparing
formal quotes requires a substantial investment of time and resources by potential
contractors, and as a matter of common professional courtesy, staff chose not to request
formal quotes for a full list of projects that could not realistically be completed in FY26
without clear direction from the board on their priorities.
Staff would advise the committee that the $575,800 total for the WS Blvd Medians and
Tuscora Monument renovations has 23 different components and any combination of
various projects can be pursued from this list with the funds available for FY26.
Given the diverse list of projects and strong community interest in prioritizing specific
enhancement opportunities, City staff is seeking direction from the TLBD Committee on
how to prioritize these enhancement efforts with the funds available for FY26.
6
To help facilitate the TLBD Committee in providing direction City Staff is requesting that
the members of the committee be prepared to score each of the 25 projects identified in
the accompanying attachment by using the following scoring criteria:
1=Not interested in pursuing this enhancement in FY26
2=Somewhat interested in pursuing this enhancement in FY26
3= Very interested in pursuing this enhancement in FY26
An average of each members score will be calculated to determine the TLBD Boards
highest ranked projects from the list provided.
Immediately following the scoring during the January 21st, 2026 meeting staff request
that the TLBD Board evaluate the top 5 highest scored enhancement opportunities, the
total cost for these projects, and provide further direction to staff.
Staff would also request the Committee be prepared to discuss prioritization of
remaining projects for future fiscal years at their February 18th, 2026 meeting.
FUNDING SOURCE
160-15-0000-545270, R&M Infra Grounds has available funds of $75,000 to pursue the
priorities as identified by the TLBD board.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff is recommending the committee review the information presented in the
attachment for this item and provide further direction to staff.
