"~QU~T TO FRHPARE AND ADVERTISE AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE POSTING OF
A H~.%LTHWAKNING SIGN IN ALL COLLIER COUNTY LOCATIONS SELLING
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - NO ACTION
Mr. Gene Olliff, Chairman of Citizens Coalition for a Drug Free
~:., · Gommunity, advised that his organization is not group of wild eyed
:!~,[< ~ fanatics who are out to be the greatest do-gooders that ever came to
'~i: Collier County, nor are they tea-totalers that are trying to bring
back prohibition. He informed that they are a group of diverse citt-
zens who are very concerned in trying to eliminate the demand for
illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol. He stated that there con-
:.~ tinues to be a growing number of young people who become involved in
drinking alcohol at an early age in Collier County, and there are also
far too many people killed on highways, due to alcohol related acci-
dents. He advised that there are too many young people who enter this
world without a chance of being -~uccessful due to the handicaps that
have been brought about by their mothers consuming alcohol during the
time of pregnancy.
Mr. Olliff indicated that because of the many concerns as stated,
he is requesting that Staff be directed to design an ordinance which
would require the posting of a sign in all establishments in Collier
County that sell alcoholic beverages. He informed that an example of
tho proposed sl~n ts Included in the ExecutSve Summary, nottn~ that ~t
h** been endorsed b~ the ~lortda State Health O~ftce, ~lortda ~odtcal

-Association, and the Florida Police Chiefs Association. He starad
that his group does not believe that the posting of this sign
throughout Collier County will eliminate the alcohol problem~;, but
they do believe that enough good will come from the posting of the
sign. He said that the Florida Restaurant Association opposes the
proposed sign, but they do agree with the goals to reduce the abu~Je of
alcohol.
Mr. Olltff stated that many feel that it is a doctor's respon-
sibtlity to warn pregnant women of the dangers of consuming alcohol
during pregnancy, but many women do not consult their doctor until
after the first trimester of pregnancy. He advised that consuming two
drinks per week can fn fact lead to problems when that child is born.
He indicated that there are also people who believe that it is not the
government's business to demand a sign as proposed, but one of the
primary functions of government is to protect the health and safety of
the public. He indicated that alcohol kil]s over 22 times the number
of people than all other illegal drugs combined in the United States.
He Informed that he believes that there is Just cause for the
Commission to appoint a Staff person to work with his organization to
draft an ordinance that would require that the sign be displayed at
all points of sales in Collier County.
Dr. Basil Bart, President of Collier County M~dtcal Society,
stated that the Society unanimously endorses the proposed ordinance.
He said that it is common sense that the acute effects of alcohol are
made more aware to the public, and that public awareness is increased.
He advised that as an internist in Naples, he sees an astounding
number of abnormal biochemical profiles from the long term effects of
alcohol, and it is very important to raise the awareness of the acute
effects as far as medication interactions. He indicated that 80-90%
Of today's families are dysfunctional where alcohol plays a major
Sher~_ff Don Hunter advised that there is a drinking problem in
Collier County. He disclosed that according to the statistics that
Page 5
March 6, 1990
were collected in 1988, an average of 50~ of all state accident fats-
has held consistently for the last several years.
littes were alcohol related: Collier County's average ts 61~, and
Pade County's average is 33~. He noted that the state average for
alcohol related .accidents (with no fatalities) was 14.7~: Collier
County's average was 18~, and Dade County's average was 7.9~. He
indicated that when motorists are arrested for DWI tn Collier County,
their blood alcohol content is usually twice the legal limit, and this
He stated that
there are three methods of control: enforcement wi'th the Batmobtle
and operational units, but this is not conducive to people changing
lhetr habits; abstinence from illicit substances; and moderation in
the use of controlled substances. He informed that this can be
accomplished through prevention and education, and he supports addi-
tional public disclaimers indicating that drlnkin9 and drivinG is most
definitely hazardous to the public's health and welfare. He revealed
:;~,:~ that his office will continue to strictly enforce the D~I laws tn
Mrs. Sue Morrow of MADD, cited that there ts a challenge before
us. She stated that innocent victias lives are being violated and
and other health problems caused by alcohol cries out to be addressed.
She Indicated that there has to be commitments from all segments of
society, and the proposed health warning sign is one more tool to
provide awareness of these pr-~blems and tt will also give credttabt-
ltty to the efforts put forth by the community for the very reasons
stated on the sign. She noted that everyone Is reminded dally by TV
~i['~- commercials of the glamour of alcohol but there also needs to be
it!","i~_ reminders of the harm it can do. She indicated that the harm alcohol
creates often goes beyond the user, as in DWI's, it devastates untold
innocent victims and their families. She urged the Commission to help
reduce further tragedies by taking advantage of the opportunity to
remind and educate the public.
Dr. Cory Church, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent of
'Page 6
00(t14
March 6, 1990
.-;.. Collier County Schools, advised that about a year ago, a couple dozen
~.~. citizens in Collier County banned together to discuss the different
, :' ways to fight drug and alcohol abuse. He noted that this will be a
long term project, and it will be difficult to win this war, but the
adoption of the proposed ordinance will help to win that war, one step
at a time. He reported that approximately one year ago, a survey was
conducted state wide among middle and high school students. He
informed that alcohol is the most widely ~bused substance in the
Collier County schools in grades 6-12: 399~ of middle school students
:.:i .... reported the use of beer; 36% reported the use of wine coolers; and
'~:;'.. 26% reported the use of liquor. He revealed that among high school
~: ~ students 68% had used beer; 67% had used wine coolers; and 57% had
~}i~ used liquor. He divulged that 14~ of middle school students reported
using some form of alcohol from at least weekly to daily use, and 4§%
of the high school students reported using alcohol at least weekly,
and in some cases, daily. He indicated that the reason that the edu-
cators on the Coalition support the ordinance for health warning signs
is that they see it as one more chance to reinforce the concept that
this community cares about its young people, and they want them to
know that dru~js and alcohol hurt them. He advised that the admi-
nistration of the Collier County Public Schools supports the proposed
ordinance.
Dr. Jane Polkowski, Director of the HRS Collier County Public
Health Unit, stated that a health warning poster about alcohol is a
piece of the major effort to warn people of imprudent alcohol use, and
it is a very inexpensive method for County Government to help protect
the health and welfare of ~ts population. She explained that if one
baby can be prevented from developing diverse alcoi~ol effects by the
messa~;e on the signs, thousands of tax dollars could be saved from the
needed medical and education needs for that child. She advised that
the cost to the County for a five year supply of these signs is about
$?00.
Dr. Polkowskl informed that a local ordinance requiring the
0OO15
March 6, 1990
posting of the health warning sign passed last week in Hillsborough
County, and last month, the vote was unanimous in Jacksonville where
they already had an ordinance for the past two years covering signs irt
restaurants. She noted that Citrus and Lake Counties passed this
ordinance earlier, and Dade, Volusta, Highlands, and Marion Counties
~'-.' are currently working on this type of ordinance
?. : Dr. Polkowski revealed that besides the tragedies of youthful
?.,' deaths and chronic disabilities from injuries due to alcohol related
~;:,', crashes, alcohol is the leading cause in mental retardation and
,;L<' . congenital malformations. She explained that women who drink heavily
', ' during pregnancy have a very high chance of having a baby with
i'<i' distinct features at birth, which is called fetal alcohol syndrome.
ii-,!i She indicated that there is no known safe amount of alcohol use for a
',iii ~ woman during pregnancy.
~' Dr. Polkowskt advised that prevalence in drinking is higher in
':~'~": Collier County than in other areas of Florida, and admitted drinking
too much and driving was 12% for those who are 18-24 years old. She
noted that alcohol, particularly in beer, is perceived by many as less
harmful than other drugs, but it is responsible for many times more
deaths and disability than illegal drugs. She disclosed that the
alcohol warning labels do not include addiction as a risk, and they
are not required in alcohol advertisements. She stated that by having
the signs located at points of sale in convenience stores,
restaurants, liquor stores, groc,.~ries stores, etc., 95% of the people
will be reached, and it is a very inexpensive way to inform the people
of the hazards.
Mr. Mike McComas stated that there is not one thing that has been
said that he disagrees with and noted that those involved with the
dispensing of alcohol support the goals of Project Graduation, and it
is also the reason that the revenues from the Taste of Collier flow to
the Mental Health Association of Collier County, He advised that
historically, in other areas of the country, this has started with a
simple sign, and then the decision is made to move that sign to menus
March 6, 1990
which is a very expensive process. He cited that the selling and
~" serving of alcoholic beverages is a licensed, legal manner of being in
:~i.' business, and when this process begins, there ts no ability to see
t:.. the end. He indicated that it has been found around the country, that
many customers feel offensive and uncomfo[.table by the posting of
- these signs.
<~:~',~ Commissioner Volpe related that one of the concerns that he had
~te'. when he discussed the proposed ordinance with members of the
Coalition, was that it carries with it a misdemeanor for violation,
:<::.. and he thought that perhaps this could be done on ~ voluntary basis.
!,~,.~ He indicated that he also feels that the workplace should not be
~;. excluded from posting the signs.
~'. ~r. ~cComas advised that the Restaurant Association met with Mr.
Olltff, br. Polkowski, and others to discuss the proposed ordinance,
i:j:'c . and it was felt that if this were voluntary, the places of business
that are not guilty would display the signs, but the businesses that
are guilty would not display the signs. He remarked that if the ordi-
nance is mandated by law, he will comply with it, but he feels that
i i':' once this process starts, it will never end. He explained that he
~,~ .~.. believes that the posting of the signs will be interfering with pti-
rate enterprise
:?
"; Commissioner Goodnight stated that she be]ieves that "point of
sales" needs to be better defined, and questioned whether each table
;<:/~' in a restaurant would be required to display a sign?
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, r~presentlng the League of Women Voters in
Collier County, stated that this subject was discussed yesterday at
tile League's monthly board meeting, She sfftrmed that the problems
related to health studies are understood, however, the vote by the
Board of Directors was unanimous not to support this ordinance. She
cited the reasons being: the method, the rights, etc., and other
involvements. She noted that selling alcoholic beverages at
restaurants is legal, if there ]sa license, and the League does have
a problem relating to the mandatory posting of the signage, the way it
Page 9
presently structured.
Haz'ch 6, 1990
Commissioner Hasse advised that he has received a letter from the
Naples Area Chamber of Commerce, which indicates that they agree with
the stated goals and objectives of Dr. Polkowski and the groups which
have expressed their support, but they capnot support those methods of
accomplishing their objectives for the following reasons: "As an
educational matter, there are more appropriate venues for dissemina-
tton of this type of information, I.e. Collier County Public Schools
and the media. This is an intrusion on the private rights of indepen-
dent business people to operate their facilities in a legal and
responsible manner. The internal stgnage has not demonstrated any
effective impact on patrons other than locating restrooms. These
businesses operating as legal tax paying federal and state regulated
bustness¢'s are not in violation of any accepted standards or practices
of any regulatory agencies".
Commissioner Saunders stated that he does not believe that the
placement of a warning sign ls an intrusion into the private business
dealings of restaurateurs or other distributors of alcoholic bevera-
ges. He explained that there may be some question as to the effec-
tiveness of this, but he is in support of giving this a try.
Comisstoner maunders moved, that the County Attorney be directed
to prepare an ordinance requiring the placement of warning signs, and
when the ordinance is brought back to the Commission, samples of signs
and ordinances from other communities are to be submitted, so that a
comparison can be ~ade as to ,~hat will be done in Collier County with
what is being done in other communities. By adopting this approach
mmd or~inmnce, the Commission will be sending a message to the
co~ntt~ that tbe~ are serious about preventing driving under the
infl~m of intoxicants, supportive of the efforts of the co~unity
~ to r~ca alcohol abuse. Motion died for lack of a ~econd.
Commissioner Shanahan explained that he agrees with the stated
goals and objectives, but he believes that a way needs to be found to
accompli~:h same. He indicated that he has concerns about the signage
Page 10
March 6, 1990
and the intrusion of the business rights.
Commtcsloner Hasse stated that he fee.Is that the stgnage would be
an infringement on the rights of the people who have a legal business.
He noted that he concurs with everything that has been said, but he
believes that there are other ways of getting this message out to the
public and the young people, i.e. in the schools.

Commissioner Saunders commented that there has been a lot of
discussion over the last year with regard to cost reduction. He
informed that the general purpose of what he is proposing is to:
Take a look at all operations of County Government and make
sure that they are conducted in a manner as efficient as
possible.
Ensure the taxpayers of Collier County that the Commission ts
taking every step possible tn efficiently using their tax
dollars.
Commissioner Saunders explained that he has suggested, as set
forth in the Executive Summary, the establishment of a panel, con-
sisttng of 9 members, that would report directly to the County
Commission, He stated that the reason he has made the panel as large
as suggested, ts that each member would be assigned a department or
group of departments for evaluation, and in that way, the individual
member would not be bogged down with a tremendously large area of
review. He indicated that prior to the panel members conducting their
reviews, they would receive training tn performance auditing from
Coopers and Lybrand, would be provided information from the County
Manager's office in reference to all operations of County government,
and then assigned the various departments for their review. He noted
that upon completion of the reviews, a report will be prepared with
the findings and suggestions to be submitted to the Commission. He
stated that he believes that this process will save money, and it will
. ensure th~ taxpayers that everything possible ts being done to prove

]i~[.'(;ii~ii'that the Commission ts serious about the efficiency in government
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, ComDtssioner Saunders disclosed
that Coopers and Lybrand has agreed to provide these serviceo at no
cost to the County.
Ms. Phyllis Jones of Coopers and Lybrand, advised that the purpose
of the panel will be an effort to see if the County departments can be
more efficient, more effective, and potentially save tax dollars. She
indicated that her firm's role will be to assist the panel and to work
with the County Manager, and the various departments
Mr. Mark Russell, Management Consulting Director, Coopers and
Lybrand, stated that his firm will act as advisor to the panel, struc-
turing and training them in the review process, and then participating
in identifying and organizing the departments which will be the ini-
tial tal'Get of the panel. He informed that he believes thls process
will work very well, since the pane] are members of the community, and
they have the community's interest at heart.
County Manager Dorrill stated that he has committed to subject his
departments to the review, but he was unaware that other departments
under the Constitutional Officers would be included. He advised that
;LI[ he feels that the committee concept is a good one, but it has not been
:' structured in compliance with the ordinance relating to advisory com-
mittees, and whether there is an obligation to go through that type of
selection procedure, the appointment and term procedure, and whether
~there is an obligation to advertise these meetings, keep minutes, and
'?' ~ incur costs for the minutes, etc. He indicated that these types of
issues need to be resolved.
County Manager Dorrill informed that one of the things he agreed
~!'~pon with Commissioner Saunders included the inclusion of the Clerk's
Office and his Fiscal Officer to provide the various finance and
accounting ~upport. He noted that the proposal indicates that in
addition tc finance and accounting, any other matters that may be
! impo~tant to the panel in conducting Its review, also come from the
Clerk's Office. He advised that this is a little more broad than he
000~0
Page 1 2
!:;b ~,'
:~'"~ "' would have liked it to be.
March 6, 1990
County Manager Dorrtll stated that h~. does not have a problem with
Coopers and Lybrand's participation in the review. He explained that
he believes that the Commission is expecting that its management team
be a part of this process, as opposed to them being investigated and
they w~ll be a willing participant with the team. He indicated that
he would like to have a little more time to sit down with Coopers and
Lybrand to develop what their scope of services will be tn this
l~e~lard, and what is to be expected of them.
Commissioner Goodntght explained that blue ribbon committees have
been appointed tn the past, without going through the advertising pro-
cess, and this may be the way to look at a panel for this review.
Commissioner Saunders stated that he spoke to County Attorney
Cuyler wlth the manner in which the panel is structured, and he did
not voice any concern that this would be in violation of any ordinan-
ces. He noted that if tile Commission desires to go through the adver-
~' rising process, he believes that many interested people will respond,
?. i but he would like to see a group of qualified individuals that are
· selected based on their qualifications, and not on any political
issues that nay be raised. He indicated that the Commission needs to
take caution if the appointments to the committee are to be
advertised.
County Manager Dorrill informed that he supports Commissioner
Maunders' list of panel members.
Commissioner Hasse Indicated that the list may not be as broad a
base as the rest of the Commission may want. He explained that he
feels that the Commission should have the opportunity to make the
.i'-.&ppolntments.
Commissioner Goodnight reported that she does not have a problem
with the pro'posed panel but suggested that perhaps it should include
~ .~< a female.
~'<:.F: . Commissioner Shanahan stated that each of the members as proposed,
are outstanding individuals, but he does feel that there is an obliga-
March 6, 1990
tlon to provide advertising so that other Individuals can submit resu-
.: mas for final selection.
~:.>: Commissioner Volpe remarked that he supports Commissioner
;.:,.
~t'i Saunders' proposal tn concept, and he has no problems with the panel
members as proposed. He stated that he ]s unaware of what these types
of performance audits cost, and if the goal ts to become more effi-
(~.. cient and save taxpayers dollars, he would like to see a proposal f~om
Coopers and Lybrand with their fee fo~ services for a professional
- -'- -- -~e~orm~nce audit and thei~ recommendations as to how the County can
!mp~ove and save taxpayers dollars. He questioned the approximate fee
for this type of audit?
Ms. Jones advised that based on the number of departments
involved, and how in depth the audit is to be, the fee could range
from $50,000-$100,000.
Commissioner Shanahan noted that he feels that the Commission
'~-needs to move ahead on the productivity study as quickly as possible.
He indicated that there are some areas as presented that need to be
looked at, i.e. the make up of the advisory board. He stated that he
believes that the County Manager needs to work closely with Coopers
and Lybrand to come up with a tighter approach.
Com~iastoner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe to
mpprov~ the coot reduction program as outlined in Commissioner
Satuu[ero' me~o dated February 26, 1990; that a nine member panol be
appointed, as recomndod in th. memo; that the panel and Coopers and
L~or~ begin the training process immediately, and written reports
be p~pmr~d ami sub~ttted to the BCC at the first Commission meeting
::after duly Z, i900.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that his office will prepare a
resolution appointing the nine panel members as indicated in
Commissioner Saunders' 2/26/90 memo, and brought back on the consent
'agenda.
coun':y Manager Dorrill suggested that as part of the motion, he be
Page 14
March 6, 1990
authorized to develop the scope of servi.?es for the management team.
Commissioner Sounders stated that he does not wish to incorporate this
into the motion. He noted that this is a program that will work with
the County Manager, and he has no problem will Mr. Dorrill developing
a scope of services and working with Coopers and Lybrand.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unani~u~ly.

FACILITY IN Ill,OK&LEE
(:[~, Mr. James Reardon, Emergency Services Administrator, outlined the
.:'f: summary 'as presented on the agenda regarding the events that
i transpired since the clinic in the Immokalee area closed to emergency
'. care. There is, Mr. Reardon stated, a need for health care in the
.-...~ area.
:"~, ' Commissioner Volpe asked for population information for the
:~'~- Immokalee area and whether it is seasonal7
~"' The call load doubles during the season, however, the impact on
EMS after the closing of the clinic was not as expected, Mr. Reardon
responded, and continued that they have seen a decrease.
Dr. R. C. MacDuffee, who represented the Medical Society and
C.U.R.E., endorsed for the mandated proposal that would be forth
coming for t'ransportatlon (non-emergency) and a Paramedic or Nurse
Practitioner to screen people in Immokalee and indicated that the
biggest reason there was no increase in the amount of trips from
cost of $330
which
could not be afforded by the residents of that area. He then ela-
borated on 'what he knew the levels of care to be:
1. Terciary - offered at University Hospital.
2. Secondary - the use of local specialists.
3. Primary (2 Phases) - walk in service.
- family doctor.
Dr. ~acDuffee said when the clinic was open, it was providing both
kinds of primary care.
'J 'J,
Page 15
March 6, 1990
Commissioner Hasse asked Dr. MacDuffe9 why the clinic in Immokalee
was closed and although Dr. MacDuffee could not respond, Mr. Reardon
explained that a communication had been received indicating that the
patient load seen, compared with the dollars available, disallowed
them from fulfilling the general practice concerns, adding that the
requirements of the Federal Government caused them to back away from
the ancillary provision (prcvtded through the county contract for
emergenc5! medical care).
Com~l,-stoner Saunders inquired of Dr. MacDuffee a clarification of
his statement regarding a Nurse Practitioner in Immokalee to evaluate
the patient to decide if the need to transport was life-threatening
and would be better served by Emergency Medical Service transpor-
tation? Dr. MacDuffee clarified by saying that a sickness that cannot
watt for an appointment is the type of care that is needed, whether
that care be in Immokalee or in Naples.
Mr. Reardon indicated that the information received by him came
from Mr. Atken, the Executive Director of the clinic, who in turn
received his information from the Federal Government.
Emergency care and lack of transportation to serve the need in
Immokalee is the first issue and the other issue is non-emergency
medical care (Dr.'s appointments, follow up care, etc.), he stated.
Dr. MacDuffee clarified the issue by saying C.U.R.E. is asking for
a non-reclining van to move the less urgent and less life-threatening
: c~.ses ·
!:~:.::?" Mr. Reardon presented two scenario's Illustrating the difference

threatening instances, adding that if EMS were used for all
:'; '- transports, the emergency response capability would be reduced

the hospital would require van service.
Commissioner Hasse asked Mr. Reardon if this was handled in
I~mokalee prior to the closing of the clinic, and Mr. Reardon's answer
Commissioner Hasse continued by asking if there were someone to
staff th:[u clinic, could it be used at present, and, in response, Mr.
Reardon ,Jaid the clinic is already in use and there is not much room
' a'~ailable, but a double-wide trailer could be used instead.
Mr. Reardon indicated that CHSI does not have the room to conduct the
clinic in the area as it is now, and, in order for this to be done
correctly, additional square footage is needed.
Co~mlssioner Hasse inquired about the finances of this previous
C?.~-program and Mr. Reardon informed him the program cost $230,000
a year and $16-18,O00 in revenues has been collected. He noted that
dollars dedicated for primary care were used to service the secondary
emergency care as designated by their mission statement and their
· Federal Fundlng.
Commissioner Volpe asked Mr. Reardon for clarification on whether
'or not there is another entity known as Collier Health Services, Inc.
that has absolutely nothing to do with Colller County Government
except to lease its facility.
Mr. Reardon stated that the CHSI is a separate corporation, and
has no relationship to Collier County Government other than renting
space from the County.
At this time Reverend Howard Allen, Sr.. of Immokalee's Glendale
Bible Mission and President of C.U.R.E. spoke to the commissioners
about the great need for urgent care in Immokalee; to treat infants
with high fevers, childhood injuries and sickness, pesticide
poisoning, snake, dog and insect bites, lacerations, burns, abrasions,
broken bones and accidental injuries. He said since the cllnlc
closed, people have not used emergency transport because the rumored
Page 17

:!:'i/!.i cost of this transportation is $350, which is unaffordable by most of
~ ' '.~ the residents of Immokalee. The people who are turned away from the
clinic are not a part of these statist/cs, and many of the people who
do find their own way to the hospitals for treatment are also not a
~:!i~,.. part of the statistics he continued
Revorend Allen explained that what is needed is space, a double
wide rfc. tier, adding that tile previously used space is now dedicated
!...- to tran.sm~ttable diseases such as AIDS and TB. The other needs he
mentton{~l, Includes staff to see patients and transportation by van to
~aples for those who cannot get to and from the hospitals for tests,
etc.
Reverend Allen stated that he feels the county has enough reserve
funds to facilitate the immediate needs of the Immokalee people. He
cited the fact that $50,000 was spent for a mai]in§ to home owners to
inform them about the Collier County Government and feels that if the
county can spend this on a mailing there should also be concern for
the people of Immokalee.
Reverend Allen produced a brochure from the Collier County
Government which said "the Collier County Commission and Manager con-
t~nually look to improve the quality of life for our citizens by
~mplementing innovative programs and expandln~ existing services.
Effective and essential service to our citizens is the primary goal of
the elected officials, managers, and staff and all those associated

March 6, 1990
Commissioner Volpe asked County Manager Nell Dorrtll about the
f'~;:~.~ :,, dollars allocated for indigent health care and Mr. Dorrlll Indicated
'~ the amo~.'nt was approximately $3,000,000. About $500,000 ts currently
· ' b~.tng spent tn Immokalee on an annual basis, he noted. He further
!<!!~,i,i detailed that $950,000 of state money is spent annually and the Social
;' Services Agencies spend roughly $200,000. He said the total for
Commissioner Shanahan wondered whether Reverend Allen is suggesting
private enterprise get involved in the project.
Reverend Allen stated that C.U.R.E would like the Commission and
the county to take the initiative to get this project underway, and
then the County could be reimbursed later.
Immokalee and indigent related support is nearly $2,000,000.
Reverend Allen indicated that people were being seen, but non-life
threatening emergency care and/or transportation were the primary
needs. He stated that the County Manager knew about the closing of
the Clinic, but did not allow the plan developed to be presented to
the County Commissioners saying, "the existing level of service Jn
Immokalee should be maintained," when, in reality there was no level
of service tn Immokalee.
Reverend Allen stated the consensus is that Immokalee is a migrant
co~munity, and, in part, this ]s true, but there are 14-18,000 non-
migrant residents. He realized that many of the migrants will be

?-~. approximately 30 days notice from Collier Health Services when they
· ~; closed the clinic and the initial proposal was that if the county gave
the clinic more money, it would remain open. Mr. Dorrill stated that
he has yet to see any Justification for the clinic by either the calls
for service this year, the calls for service last year, or the
why ts Collier Health Servtce not fulfilling thetr contractual oblt-
gattbn; what ts the support of the State Health Department; and what
are the goals and objectives of Naples Community Hospital?
He said that untfl the the other resources are evaluated there is

transpo'rt:~ this year versus transports last year. He said he thinks
there are solutions for thls situation, but the county is not in the
hospital business. He said that questions he would have asked are:
Reverend Allen agreed with Mr. Dorrtll, but added that it is the
County Manager's Job to make sure the citizens of the county have ade-
quate services when they are needed and, if he knew 30 days in advance
of the closing of the clinic, he should have found out why it was
being closed.
Commissioner Volpe focused on the reason for there being no faci-
~tty tn Immokalee and why state or federal government or private
enterprise has failed to meet the needs. He said the number of people
living in Immokalee, if Reverend Allen's figures were correct, are
greater than the number of people living in Golden Gate, and
questioned why the clinic withdrew and what is the justification for
done.
lack of service by the medical community?
Reverend Allen was unable to answer Commissioner Volpe's question,
but did indicate part of the reason could be because there was never a
· request made, adding that the request has to come from those who are
able to see that the job is done or from those who can get the Job

~] the need and shown that the people of Immokalee are basically
Mr. Bare Entfng, a resident of Immokalee, stated that the lack of
i~ ' urgent m,dtcal care goes beyond those who need the care, noting that
powerless. He further stated that until action is taken by the
Commission or the Naples Community Hospital to provide long-term care
in Immokalee, nothinG will happen. He indicated that it is
unconscionable to think that these people do not have the same ser-
vices as the rest of the res]dents of Collier County.
it even affects those who try to respond and do their job.
Mr. Enting then stated the problem in Immokalee is two-fold;
short-term and long-term. He said today's issue is short-term and the
Commission should determine how the needs of the Immokalee people are
Going to be met, and then the long-term needs can be determined.
Mr. John Hill of Bonita Shores talked to the Commissioners about
an ongoing concern in his neighborhood relatinG to the need for
emergency medical services in Immokalee, stating that when the 911
call from North Naples comes in, the EMS allocated for that neigh-
borhood might be somewhere on Immokalee Road tryinG to cover for the
lack of medical facilities in Immokalee.
The Reverend Ted Klees of the Marco Island Lutheran Church and a
member of the Board of Directors of the Immokaiee Friendship House and
Emergency Shelter for the Homeless in Immoka]ee indicated they are
involved in what the action of the county will be regarding the short-
term resolution to the problem. He indicated he has a member who is
willinG to write a check for $10,000 to get the program started if the
county is willing to get somethinG under way for the people of
Immokalee.
Mu. George Keller of the Collier County Civic Federation addressed
the commission saying he feels the problem being addressed is a matter
of money. He indicated that he feels that if the people who use the
service could pay $20.00 per year; based on 14,000 people in
Immokalee, this could resolve the problem. He continued by notinG
that if the citizens of the county could collect $1§,000,000 for a
Page 21
- ~%(
March 6, 1990
i~.:..i Philharmonic, they could collect enough to get this clinic in opera-
~¥.~ tion. He said that the citizens should have been involved six months
ago when the clinic was closed. Mr. Keller concluded by saying that
if doctors in Immokalee will not treat people without payment, they
are not adhering to the Hippocratic Oath.
The R,~verend Charles Sullivan of San Marco Catholic Church spoke
in favor of both a short and a long-term solution to the Immokalee
Emergencf Care problem and suggested that the county continue to make
the problem known and provide a short-term solution; the citizens work
to make the people of Collier County more conscious of their respon-
sibility to the people of Immokalee; and that Reverend Sullivan pro-
vide necessary leadership to meet the Goals.
Charlotte Westman read a letter from Dorothy Fitch, President of
the League of Women Voters in Collier County, (Copy not provided to
the Clerk's Office.) which indicated that the League has tried v~ry
hard to remind Collier County that Immokalee, and the people from that
area have needs that must be met, and both she and the League will
support any action the Commission takes to provide both s':~ort and
;:' long-term emergency assistance to Immokalee.
"" Janet Polkowski, Director of HRS of Collier County Public Health
?¥~;,: Unit ~poke concerning the health unit as well as the Medical Society.
~.... i She outlined the fact that many of Immokalee's residents are at a
higher risk due to iow incomes, lack of education, exposure to
diseases and language harriet's. She supported a three point program
L ~'~ '-:consisting of provision of transport; health manpower to handle
· emergencies; and more financial support for long term emergency care.
Questioned by Commissioner Hasse, Dr. Polkowski related that much
,< . . of the on-~oing work in Immokalee is non-emergency care related, and
the best solution to the immediate problem would be to have an
Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner who could handle a majority of
the urgent care problems plus some additional staffinG.
With further questioning by Commissioner Volpe, Dr. Polkowski
stated that the type of personnel currently in Immokalee could not
P:{ge 22
March 6, 1990
provide these types of services, because they a~'e involved in AID's
treatment and screening, TB treatment, environmental health and prena-
tal treatment. She indicated the~staff in Immokalee numbers approxi-
mately 15, but none are able to assist in this program.
Mrs. Jane Pullman endorsed Reverend Allen and the necessity for
getting er~ergency help to the residents of Immokalee.
Com~l~c!oner Goodnight recommended that the Board instruct the
County Manager to investigate the use of the rtl-county Senior
Citizens' vans to commit on an immediate basis to the transport needs
of Immokalee; to utilize the the double-wide mobile home which is
currently on site in Immokalee; and, to provide the kind of staffing
needed to give the necessary emergency care to the residents of
Immokalee. She also suggested the formation of a committee to develop
a long-range plan to raise funds to build a building in Immokalee,
adding that the land is already available from the Collier Enterprises
donation.
Discussion ensued regarding liability of tl~e County and the need
for patient review prior to transportation, equipping the vans if
necessary, and the time elements involved in getting this plan into
action.
Commissioner Saunders expanded on the short-term solution indi-
cating he feels that this is an immediate need and the need for a van
is much greater than original>y suggested. He said he feels the van
service should be a 24-hour operation on a 7-day a week basis, and
should have the proper equipment. He said there should be an eva-
luation made as to a life threatening situation prior to transport.
Commissioner Goodnight reassured Commissioner Saunders the Tri-
County Senior Citizens' vans is properly equipped and probably
available.
Commissioner Saunders summarized the Boards consensus as the need
for an immediate plan, a long-term plan, and implementation as quickly
as possible with the need for transportation being a priority.

ftcatton of the direction given by the Board regarding the C.U.R.E

Legal notice having been published tn the Naples Daily News on
February 18, 1990, as evidenc.~d oy Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition NUt-90-2,
filed by Elhanon Combs c/o Mar-Good Resort on the Water represented by
Attorney Dudley Goodlette, Cummings and Lockwood, requesting a change
'of one non-conforming use to another non-conforming use of the same
character for property located at 6800 Golden Gate Parkway, Tract 36,
Unit 29, Golden Gate Estates.
Planning Services Manager Baginskt informed that the applicant is
requesting approval to change one non-conforming use (a shopping pla-
za) to another non-conforming use (a bowling alley). He advised that
00()32

/.'-the subject property consists of approximately 3 acres and was rezoned
to E-Estates from C-2 Commercial with the adoption of the 1974 Zoning
Ordinance. He noted that to the east of the site ts a roller rink,
also zoned E-Estates and non-conforming, to the north and south are
..~ single-family homes.
~:~: ' Mr. Bi~gtnski stated the site contains a 28,000 square feet struc-
~;:~ ture, and houses a convenience store, a restaurant and five thrift
~' shops.
Mr. Bagtnski indicated that Section 6.6 of the Zoning Ordinance
g','-:,- provides that upon approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, and with
· ? the restriction that no structural changes are made to the building
~':i. itself, any non-conforming use of a structure, or of a structure and
{i~!~>. premises in combination may be changed to another non-conforming use
of the same character, or to a more restricted non-conforming use.
Further, he noted, the proposed use must be determined to be equally
or more appropriate than the existing use, and the relation of the
structure to surrounding properties is such that adverse effects on
occupants and neighboring properties will not be greater than if the
existing non-conforming use is continued.
Mr. Bagtnskt stated that Planning Services Staff has been advised
that the subject property is being considered for purchase, ant! the
prospective purchaser has informed the applicant that the proposed
bowling alley will contain 24 lanes and will employ approximately 27
people. He noted that the proposed project calls for re-surfacing the
front parking area, a 20 foot drive lane on the side of the structure
and a parking area located behind the structure. He indicated that no
structural changes are proposed to the building other than the removal
of certain latticework and the installation of a new roof which will
f. l-esemble the elevation of the existing roof.
? Mr. Bagtnski advised that the three issues which the Board must
:~.'. address before granting any change in use are:
1. Determine that the proposed change is to a use which is of
~:" the same character or a more restrictive non-conforming use.
:,, , 2. Determine that the proposed use is equally or mere
~" appropriate to the district than the existing us~.

~:!. Mr. Baginski affirmed that reviewing Staff has determined that the
~'~. proposed change in use, shopping center to bowling alley, does not

: propertiell, tie stated that Staff is recommending that the Board of
!~ ~ Zoning .Appeals approve the change in non-conforming uses as identified,
subject to the stipulations as noted in the Executive Summary. He
called at~ention to a minor change, which the applicant concurs with,
in Stipulation #2, adding "or future" which would read as follows:
Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the
applicant shall be required to bring the existing structure
into compliance with all current or future codes, including
but not limited to Building and Fire.
Attorney Dudley Goodlette, of Cummings and Lockwood, and repre-
senting the petitioner stated that he concurs with the conditions
recommended by Staff. He advised that the use as proposed, will be a
first class bowling center. He noted that the Board will have the
opportunity to review the details of the site as the petitioner pro-
ceeds through the site development process.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Attorney Goodlette informed that
if the structure was destroyed by fire, etc., the applicant would
still have the power to re-establish that non-conforming use, as long
as it was not Interrupted for 12 month~ or more.
Commissioner Hasse stated tPat anything that will be done to dress
up the subject site will be an improvement to the area.
Mr. George Keller, President of Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that this site has been an eye sore for years, and the peri-
tioner should be required to Improve the aesthetics.

SP~CTaL I~EI~qTT FOR ROAD$ID~- SAr. KS - NO ACTTON
Attorney Gary J. Hausler, representing Jacob and Althea Gadsden,
stated that his clients are seeking a temporary special permit to
allow them to sell fruits and ve'getables on the roadside for the next
6 months. He informed that they have been conducting their business
for the p~st five years on Marco Island, but have ceased their opera-
tion as of December, 1989, due to anonymous complaints which were made
~" .' to the Code Compliance Section of the Building Department.
Attorney Hausler said that his clients are good and decent indivt-
duals. He noted that Mr. Gadsden is 80~ blind and these sales are
his only source of income. He remarked that a petition has been
submitted with 700 signatures from Marco residents, urgins the
Commission to grant the Gadsden's a special permit. He noted that his
clients have the expressed written permission of the owners of the
property at Wlnterberry Drive and South Collier Boulevard to conduct
their sales at that location, and the granting of a permit would pose
no threat, tn3ury, or harm to the County. He indicated that they are
very anxious to resume their sales activities.
Co.missioner Smunders left the meeting at 1:30 P.M.
Commissioner Vo]pe questioned what type of authority the
Commission has to grant this type of request for a special permit?
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he is not aware of a special per-
mit. He suggested that the Cc. mmission may wish to direct Staff to
review this situation and report back.
,~'~ : Compliance Services Manager Boyce stated that Staff has observed
the sales of f~'utts and vegetables at the subject location. He
advised that the roadside sales ordinance relates to the locale, and
the zoning ordinance relates to land use and conduct of sales such as
this which is required to take place In a different classification of
zoning. He indicated that Mr. & Mrs. Gadsden have indeed conducted
Page 28
March 6, 1990
: S&lee over the years on Marco Island, and several cases have been
developed against them at Elkcam Circle, and they were asked to leave
the area and cease and desist. He informed that Staff was unsuccess-
ful in their latest attempts at Wfnterberr¥ Drive, and therefore, they
made a buy and took the Gadsden's to court. He advised that Mr.
Gadsden was found guilty and placed on 4 months probation.
Mr. Dcyce referred to a case of September, 1989, on property
located at South Fifth Street, in Immokalee, owned by the Gadsden's.
Me stated that this property was littered with trash, debris, aban-
doned appliances, demolished vehicles, trucks without motors, etc.,
and in spite of repeated legal notices to cease and desist and abate
the nuisance, but failed to do so, and on December 7, 1989, Mr.
Gadsder~ was found guilty in misdemeanor court and was given 4 months
supervised probation. He informed that Mr. Gadsden has failed to
complete the corrective action that was required at that site.
Mr. Boyce called attention to a case which was referred to
Compliances Services by the Health Department, on June 5, 1989, rela-
tive to the Gadsden Apartments, owned by the Gadsden family and
located on Doak Avenue, in Immokalee. He stated that this property
- contained three mobile homes for l-cntal purposes which is beyond the
'~ density that this particular land allows. He noted that there was raw
.'.~,~...-. sewage from broken pipes coming from the units, many electrical safety
~',~.'. - hazards, and considerable other housing code violations on this site.
Again, he advised that Mr. Gz~dsden was found guilty on October 4,
1989.
Mr. Boyce revealed another instance of July, 1986, regarding the
South Fifth Street property, and action was stalled in correcting
three structures which had been burned out and declared to be unsafe
' structures by the County Manager. He advised that legal notice was
.~'."[ i given, lO visits were made to the site to see if follow up had been
:~ .
made by the Gadsden's to correct the unsafe structures, and having
failed to do so, the County contracted in the amount of $4,900 to
raise those buildings, and have made several attempts to collect
Page 29
0O0,3.9
March 6~ 1990
those monies. He said that being unsuccessful in collecting the
funds, Staff went forward with lien actions last month.
Mr. Boyce stated that if the Commission decides to grant this per-
mission to the Gadsden's, Staff is requesting that certain conditions
be placed on the activity:
1. S~tisfaction of the $4,900 debt to the County, plus admi-
nistrative charges.
R. Prohibit any sales or parking on the right-of-way.
Mr. Boyce affirmed that additional complaints have been received
relating to trespass; lights; unfairness of competition because others
are required to have paved parking lots, landscaping, etc. He noted
that if this special permission is to be granted, Staff is recom-
mending that some sort of driveway be constructed at the expense of
Mr. and Mrs. Gadsden, to protect the County roadway so that the proper
water flow and drainage can be handled. He indicated that Staff is
further recommending that the tithe be ~imited, and that an intent to
lease document be submitted.
Commissioner Hasse questioned whether a building for the Gadsden
business is currently being constructed? Attorney Hausler advised
that a shopping center is being construct'ed adjacent to the subject
property, and the Gadsden's will occupy a unit.
Commissioner Volpe stated that this is a situation where there is
an existinG activity that is taking place on a certain piece of pro-
perty and there is a violation of two County ordinances.
Mr. Bill Shaughnessy stat~.d that he J.s in the process of beginninG
construction of a 60,000 square foot site to be known as the Mission
San Marco Plaza. He indicated that the Gadsden's have been selling
their vegetables on this corner for years, and noted that they have
become a Marco tradition. He advised that as owner of the subject
property, he has no objection to the Gadsden's being there.
Co~missioner Volpe questioned whether the Gadsden's have signed a
lease to occupy one of the units in the new shopping center? Mr.
ShauGhnessY replied that they have not yet signed a lea~e0 but he does
Page 30
have a commitment from them.
March 6, 1990
Commissioner Shanahan stated that one of the major respon-
sibilities of the Commission is to protect all the citizens of Collier
County. Re informed that he is not interested in putting the
Gadsden's out of business, and as a condition of approval they do have
a debt te the County which needs to be taken care of, and that any
sales on the rights-of-way should be prohibited. He indicated that he
further believes that preparations should be made for people to get in
and out of the facility in a safe manner.
Co~missioner Shanahan moved, to consider approval of the provi-
sional use, based on the recommendations of Staff.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he is unmoved to grant a special
permit for the Gadsden's until he is certain that the Commission has
some authority to do so.
County Attorney Cuyler informed that he is unaware of any
authority under the Zoning Ordinance which allows the granting of a
special permit. He indicated that a petition has been signed bearing
700 signatures of persons that are in favor of this, but there is no
authority to do this.
~ieatoner $hanahan withdrew his motion, based on the County
Attorney's etateumnt that the Commission has no legal authority, under
the Zoning Ordinance, to grant a special permit as requested.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he would like to see the Gadsden's
pay their outstanding debt to th,~ County.
No action was taken on this Item.

SMITH BAlONeY, ALEX BROWN & SONS, INC., AND WILLIAM R. HOUGH & CO. TO
SER3FE A~ UNDE]~RITING TEAM FOR THE EAST AND SOUTH NAPLES SANITARY
S~WER COLLECTION SYSTEM SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE BONDS - APPROVED
Assistant County Manager McLemore informed that RFP's were pre-
pared for an Investment team for the East and South Nap]es Sanitary
Sewer Collection System project. He advised that an extensive review
of the submitted firms was performed by the Finance Committee, and
they are recommending two options: appoint an investment team, with
Smith Barney as Senior Manager, Alex Brown & Sons and William R.
Hough & Co. as Co-Managers; and if the Board desires to appoint only
one underwriter, that Smith Barney be appointed.
Mr. McLemore stated that there may be advantages to using the
team, since it may improve the distribution of sales.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether there would be any addi-
tional costs with a Senior Manager and Co-Managers?
Mr. David Fischer, of SunTrust Securities, informed that the costs
are split between the Manager and the Co-Manager, but there are no
additional costs involved.
Commissioner Shanahan stated that the Finance Committee is recom-
mending an excellent team approach, and noted that a lot of time,
effort, and work has gone into the selection of same.

A~r~Ho~IZATIO~ TO H]t~J~D THE NEGOTIATING TIM~ FROM FOR THH SOLID WASTH
OOLL~ION &~I~KEM~NT WITH WASTE MANAGEI~HNT TO JUNE §, 1990 - APPROVHD
Assistant County Manager McLemore reported that on January 23,
1990, the Commission directed Staff to negotiate a new franchise
agreement within 90 days with Waste Management. He requested that the
time period be extended to 3une 5, 1990, since it will be very dif-
ficult to accomplish the negotiations within that time-frame. He
indicated that the yet to be adopted Mandato~:y Collection Ordinance is
O00GO
Page 34
March 6, 1990
a very important part of this negotiation.
Mr. McLemore advised that there has been a recent Attorney
General's opinion which raises issues relative to the final form of a
mandatory collection ordinance, and noted that the method of collec-
tion has been challenged. He informed that at this time,' the Tax
Collector and the Property Appraiser are not in agreement with the
mandatory collection through the use of the tax rolls.
County Manager Dorrill stated that Staff is developing a proposed
service agreement which should be complete by the first week in April.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dorrill indicated that the
mandatory collection ordinance will be presented to the Commission
within 3 weeks.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the basis of the proposal made by
Waste Management which was the trigger to negotiate as opposed to
going to RFP's? County Manager Dorrlll stated that the basis was an
assumption that there would be mandatory collection, County-wide, and
Waste Management based the no net increase to residential customers on
an assumption that they would be incurring additional costs for extra
trucks and extra manpower to be able to pick up at every house in the
unincorporated area of the County. He noted that before the contract
language is developed, it should be determined whether the Commission
desires to have mandatory collection of solid waste.
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Women Voters of
Collier County, stated that the League has supported mandatory collec-
tion for two years. She related that Collier County is tourism
oriented, and mandatory collection would allow for a cleaner com-
munity, less trash on roadways, etc. She Noted that discussions were
held by two advisory boards with regard to tile collection of fees, and
the arguments have been heard.

BID ~9-1505 RE SEL~CTION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEHRIN~ Fi~ ~R DESIGN
OF ~D~ ~1~ ~I~D ~SION - C0~I~D TO 3/13/90 ~ ~L 6
County Manager Dorrill stated that a decision needs to be made
whether the Commission wants to interview the firms on the short-li=t
as prepared or invite the otl:er 3 firms to also make presentations.
Commissioner Hasse indicated this item is of great importance and
should be reviewed as carefully as possible, adding that he would like
to see all six firms appear before the Commission.
Mr. Bill Barton of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll& Peek, Inc.
gave the board his views on the selection process. He said he feels
the process now established by the Board of Commissioners is a good
one and very workable. He discussed the Short List Committee and the
integrity of the committee and indicated that engineers and architects
do not llke long short lists because of the amount of time and money
spent making a presentation. He said when a firm is listed as number
5, 6, 7, or greater on a list, the possibility of them being selected
is remote. He added that the Qualification Basis Selection Process
(QBS) is a law in the State of Florida that protects citizens, tax-
payers, and those who perform services for municipalities.
Commissioner Volpe inquired if there is to be a change in the
Page 46
March 6, 1990
Short List.
Mr. Barton indicated affirmatively, noting the short list of
three(3) ts to be expanded to stx(6), and he is not tn favor of the
change, he said.
Commissioner Hasse said this is the first time that Collier
County has deviated or wanted to deviate from this procedure, and con-
tinued by explaining that due to the subject matter he feels an
expanded short list is appropriate.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that he feels the recent
discussion makes a definite point of a short list of three (3) and the
entire Board agreed that they would rely on the staff to narrow down
the selection for the Board's final decision. He shared the
Chairman's view that this is a significant, unusual circumstance and
in this particular instance this deviation may apply, but he would not
like to see this happen with any regularity.

Bill Temby-Utillties Engfnee;'tng Director
Janet Bonnema-Sr. Enginee~'-Utilittes Engineering

projects have outside consultants, and wanted to know if there was
anyone outside the staff involved in the selection process?
County Attorney Dorrill indicated that this is usually done in the
instance of bond underwriters, but typically for architects, engineers,
and land surveyors the selection Is left to the staff in order to
shorten the qualification presentation group.
