Lighting And Beautification Assessment Area - Phases I And II.
Ms. Greco addressed the City Commission on this Agenda Item and explained, "On
'Table l' for TLBD (Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District), the 'Assessment
Services' number changed. Basically, we had the numbers shifted out into the future;
they needed to be shifted back. The 'Notice Costs' at the bottom of that Table needed to
be shifted back a year, because we're actually going to be noticing the people in FY'07
[Fiscal Year 2007], not FY'08 [Fiscal Year 2008]. So, basically, those two (2) costs were
shifted out - the 'FY '07/'08 [Fiscal Year 2007/2008], number should have been an 'FY
'06/'07 [Fiscal Year 2006/2007], for the 'Assessment Services' as well as the 'Notice
Costs'. And because of the way the Reserve and the Tax Collector's cost work, those
numbers changed slightly because it is based on a percent of the Assessment."

Development Department also spoke on this Agenda Item and mentioned that "I actually
talked to Rande Thompson (Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory
Committee Chair) and a couple of other Board Members today who were in support of it.
The general Consensus among the TLBD[AC] (Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification
District Advisory Committee) is they do want to move forward and continue to maintain
at this level."
Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore inquired of Mr. Richart, "This includes the lighting
costs - the extensive lighting that we have done?" Mr. Richart noted, "It does."
Next, Commissioner Brown asked Mr. Richart, "Did you say the TLBD[AC] (Tuscawilla
Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee) agreed with this?" Mr. Richart
remarked, "The general Consensus is that they do agree with moving forward with this;
yes. There was no official Vote at a TLB[DAC] (Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification

Ms. Greco noted, "It was mentioned as recently - in the August 28th, 2006 Agenda Item

Hearing Date As Tuesday, May 29, 2007 To Consider Increasing The Maximum
Annual Capital And Maintenance Assessment Rates Relating To The Oak Forest
Wall And Beautification District.
Ms. Greco addressed the City Commission regarding this Agenda Item, saying, "I
incorporated in the letter that 1 gave you - there were a few changes on the Oak Forest as
well. The '53211 Administration Fees' line has similar issues where they were shifted to
the right out a year and it should have been shifted to left; and start with FY 06/07 [Fiscal
Year 2006/2007], and go out. We did add a thousand dollars ($1000.00) plus an
inflationary factor to the' 54310 Utility Services' line and that was because we added..."
Mr. Richart said, "... That was for additional irrigation systems. The water meters that
came online through our billing department for the wall."
Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore then inquired, "Did the Board review this?" Mr. Richart
remarked, "The same thing with the TLBD[AC] [Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification
District Advisory Committee]. The Board was aware that there would be an increase; we
talked about it. They never Voted. But 1 did again call today and 1 talked to the
Chairperson who agreed with the concept that we needed to - go forward with the
program. Again, the Advisory Board's opinion on this is they don't want to - lose
services. "
Mr. Richart noted, "Every five (5) years now, we're on a program. We're going to revisit
our needs. We're going to have a five (5) year working Budget. These numbers are all
averaged throughout the five (5) years so that the assessment can stay fixed for that five
(5) years."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis stated, "I would suggest that just to protect yourself from any
future criticism that you put in writing that although there wasn't a Vote taken, that you
have been in discussion with Board Members, this had been discussed at past Board
Meetings and this was the action taken."
"I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM '602'." MOTION BY

Ms. Greco addressed the City Commission on this Agenda Item and explained, "On
'Table l' for TLBD (Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District), the 'Assessment
Services' number changed. Basically, we had the numbers shifted out into the future;
they needed to be shifted back. The 'Notice Costs' at the bottom of that Table needed to
be shifted back a year, because we're actually going to be noticing the people in FY'07
[Fiscal Year 2007], not FY'08 [Fiscal Year 2008]. So, basically, those two (2) costs were
shifted out - the 'FY '07/'08 [Fiscal Year 2007/2008], number should have been an 'FY
'06/'07 [Fiscal Year 2006/2007], for the 'Assessment Services' as well as the 'Notice
Costs'. And because of the way the Reserve and the Tax Collector's cost work, those
numbers changed slightly because it is based on a percent of the Assessment."

Ms. Greco addressed the City Commission regarding this Agenda Item, saying, "I
incorporated in the letter that 1 gave you - there were a few changes on the Oak Forest as
well. The '53211 Administration Fees' line has similar issues where they were shifted to
the right out a year and it should have been shifted to left; and start with FY 06/07 [Fiscal
Year 2006/2007], and go out. We did add a thousand dollars ($1000.00) plus an
inflationary factor to the' 5431 0 Utility Services' line and that was because we added..."
Mr. Richart said, "... That was for additional irrigation systems. The water meters that
came online through our billing department for the wall."

Commissioner Gilmore then inquired, "Did the Board review this?" Mr. Richart
remarked, "The same thing with the TLBD[ AC] [Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification

talked about it. They never Voted. But 1 did again call today and 1 talked to the
Chairperson who agreed with the concept that we needed to - go forward with the

Mr. Richart noted, "Every five (5) years now, we're on a program. We're going to revisit
our needs. We're going to have a five (5) year working Budget. These numbers are all
averaged throughout the five (5) years so that the assessment can stay fixed for that five

Deputy Mayor McGinnis stated, "I would suggest that just to protect yourself from any
