NACA CALENDAR OF EVENTS Meetings This Past Year Tuesday, October 27, 2009 County Commissioner Nora Patterson
Guest Speaker Agenda: 1. Honore' Extension - timelines, details; particularly near us in Nokomis. Note - this is a significant event for mid-county, obtaining another north/south artery. The southbound lanes of I-75 will become this road. Commissioner Patterson will share the very latest details. 2. The TBARTA (Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority) plans for our county. Commissioner Patterson is our representative on this regional planning authority; there's some pretty ambitious things in the works! 3. Completion of the Route 41 road job --- specifically, our request for landscaping to make it PRETTY and IMPRESSIVE - some 'wow factor' for Laurel/Nokomis! Note - the Venice paving job of this summer (after our job) is already landscaped; very attractive. NACA is working with our county leadership in pressing to get our Laurel/Nokomis segment landscaping completed to our satisfaction (plant material/type; trees vs. bushes/grasses issue - NACA strongly prefers many trees for long term beauty, shade, ambiance, the visual breaking up the wide road expanse). Come learn details, and provide input please. Update - FDOT has recently rejected our landscape plan stating that, effective July 1, 2009, they're changing the rules. Note, our plans have existed for 7 years, and the trees would be half grown if FDOT didn't take twice as long to build the road as planned. Please come prepared to learn about this and what we must, as a community do, to defend ourselves. 4. This past July NACA requested an audit of the FDOT Route 41 road construction project due to the extended duration and myriad is problems encountered. The goal of the audit request was to identify the causes, and hopefully, prevent similar experiences in other upcoming FDOT projects in our area. Commissioner Patterson may speak to the audit as she is a member of the Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) http://www.mympo.org/ 5. Commissioner Patterson will speak to some significant county issues (positives/opportunities and challenges - there is so much going on in Sarasota County right now), and open the floor to questions. Please feel free to ask questions about matters of interest and importance to you. Monday - August 3, 2009 Topics Included: We had a great meeting with 104 individuals in attendance!

Neighborhood
Parkland Acquisition Program is a voter-approved and taxpayer-funded program
designed to acquire parklands. In March 1999, voters approved an
Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program to protect native habitats
by a 0.25 mil ad valor tax collected through 2019. In November 2005, voters
approved a second referendum extending the program through 2029 and expanded
the county’s land protection efforts to include neighborhood parkland
acquisitions. 2009 NACA Dates:
