tacre~sa or specific approval of the specific progr==. Ha noted that
a cos~tttee has been appointed to scrutinize all County functions to

radund~nt, overlapping functions within County government. He Indi-
cated that he doae not deny that the proposad progru Is very
~orth~htle, but it will avada and bypass the budget ~yetem. He

that ~any developments have bike paths which actually becole
sidewalks. Re affirmed that there should be certain roadways, ~.e.,
C.R. 951 which prohibits bicycles because of the danger ~nvolved. He
commented that the position could be important If tt ts handled pro-
perl¥, but he feels that the She2'lff's Office should take care of
traffic, and he questions whether this grant ~oney will be wasted.
Mr. George Dondanvllle of SenJaaln Cycles, submitted a petition
with over 200 signatures, urging the Co-~eslon and the City Council
to approve the request for application of the grant which will create
the bicycle coordinator. He indicated that the quality of life tn

feasible at this time but, she Indicated, the Board will continue to
work with the cltizena and the County to develop and t~plsment goala
and plane.
Co~eslaeloner Shanahan thanked Ha. Htttler for the outstanding ~ob
she has done and will continue to do.
Hr. Robert Roth presented a col~ of a letter previously given to
County Nanager Dorrlll (Copy not provided to the Clerk) and reported
to the Co~aleslon on the activity of the ~ater ~anagement Advisory
Board, addressing the several distinctive qusetiona that require an
annual report.
The ~ater Nanagement Advisory Board le marring Ira purpose, he
adviasd, however, with the implementation of the Development Services
Department such of the Board's work lo perfunctory re-exanlnattorm of
co-patent staff work. For that reason the Board has adopted a consent
~genda far.at, he continued, and the maturity of the etafff is e~ctng
the Board obaolete. He cited an exa~Dle, aaylng that the ~ ham not
set tn the last two months because every Item has managed to fit Into
the consent a~enda requirement.
The ~ ts, ha continued, adquataly serving connunlt¥ needs, but
is duplicatln~ work already done by staff.

March 20, 1990
The T~tAB has reviewed several ordinances for the Cowmtsston ~nd
now working to Join with EAC to form a Board of Counsel rather than
Regulation, Nr. Roth remarked.
The coabined EMAB, he noted, should provide the Commission with a
high level of service which can still serve as I Board of Appeals in
regulatory matters and can be beneficial in solving ~ore technics!
problems.
Mr. Roth ~uggested that staff not review every design calculation
that le presented because all of them are generated by registered pro-
than design calculations. He indicated the EMAB also has the back-up
of the South Florida Water Management District, who are qualified
reviewers. He noted that aea frequent petitioner, he Is qualified to
attest to their thoroughness°
Hr. Roth reported that the ~upport of the EMAB am a replacement,
and of Development Services Division competence answers the question
of ~endtng the cresting Ordinance, and further indicated he feels the
number of members to comprise the new Board should probably re.tn the
same. He stated that during his two and on~-helf years of service, the
NMAB ha~ delayed only one case by a 2 to 1 non vote.
Mr. Roth Indicated the NMAB Is very expensive to the County
becsnss of the $100 per ~onth expense for atnutes and transcription,
and an Indirect cost of epprorlm~.tely 12 hours per ~onth in prepara-
tion of staff reports and assembling the package for the HMAB ae~berso
He mentioned that the members of the WMAB are unpaid and usually do
not even submit mileage requests.
· he ~4~ct Advisory Board to report to the CommiSlJO~l~rl Il the
Environmental Advisory Committee, whose Chairman, Dr. ~a~es Snyder,
Indicated that the written remponse to the Ordinance 86-41 has been
Dr. Snyder co~ented that he feels the FAC serves a valid function
through an environmental review process.
He continued, saying that as

an Advisory Board, the FAC has no objections to consolidation and
modification to create a new Board, but strongly opposes the
tion of project reviews as one of the functions. He agrees, he
stated, that ese time In the future the need for review will be
reduced, however, he feels there will never be a tie when environmen-
tal review for e Jar developente, prior to the presentation to the
Planning Commission or to the Board of County Con~tsstonere, will not
be appropriate.
Dr. Snyder Indicated that It Is very tiaa con~untng and tedious for
the Plarmtn~ Comeleslon or the Commission to have to scrutinize deve-
lopments, point by point, thus the FAC feels the new entlt~ should
continue to review the projects.
There e¥ be a higher threshold, Dr. Snyder said, and the FAC
suggests t~t the new body review only those projects which require an
snvtronnental Impact stateent or ars deeed of sp~ctal concern by the
County. He noted that even after adoption of new ordinances, there will
continua to be projects Involving special clrcu~tances which are not
explicitly addree~d by ordinance.
Co~aisstoner Shanahan Indicated when the discussion of a new board
was held, Nr. Lorenz was directed to find a way to Include verbiage
to determine when a project should be reviewed. He Indicated that the
new Board te not balng eliminated from having project review
authority.
Nr. Dick Lydon, Chairman of the Public Vehicle Advisory Cosmlttee,
~ldresssd the Commissioners saying that he feels the committee hms
served its purpose well by holding regular leerings to approve,
disapprove or clean up the applicants certificates to operate public
vehicles tn Collier Count~. The committee, he continued, h~s been
somewhat restrained by an existing a~endment that the County
Attorney's office Indicates Is unenforceable. The committee h~s spent
~any hours, he added, drafting & proposed Imendment to this ordinance
to upgrade the quality of public service vehicles aa wall aa providing
~dditional revenue to the county.

Mr. Lydon Indicated that the comalttee currently has five
and those nenbera agree that Collier Ccunt¥ mmt look toward so~e type
of nasa transportation.
~r. Sam Lee, Chairnan of the I~mokalee Airport Advtsor~ Board,
reported the comualttee views Im-okalee Airport as Imaokalee~a greatest
untapped resource and the~ hope the Cowmteetoners will give con-
slder&tlon to the developnent of this airport. He requested the
CowmiseJon to take Into special consideration the goals of the
Advisor~ Board. The sealing of the runways at Im~okalee Airport
about to begin, he continued, and bidding for fixed ba~e operation
appears to be gaining aomentun, he stated.
Hr. Lee Indicated the comntttee ~upporte the Pol¥cycle pro,act
be located at the Iaa~kalee Airport and because he also site on the
lnaokalee Water Sewer Board, ttle his understanding that the
fund~ have been ~ade available, and hopefully, an attractive package
can be put together to forward to Pol¥cycleo He nenttoned that the
Hater Sewer Board Ia waiting for m reopened free Polycycle and con-
handed the Comateston and staff for there mupport. It will, he
advised, provide Jobs and neet a great need In the local agricultural
community.
Hr. Lee reafftrned that the Imnokalee Airport Advisory Board con-
ttnues to discourage the Cypress HOA (Hlli~ary Operation Area) which
will take up air space free Everglades to the East Coast. The IAAB
nenbere feel this will be a dJvadvantage because It could technically
nean that an airplane from the East Coast might have to go ee far
north ae Lakeland to co~e back to Ia~okalee he added.
Hr. Lee Indicated ha wants to brl,~ to the Coerateston~ attention
utter that he feels needs lma~dlate resolution. The bringing to
fruition to the ?-Hangers at the airport ts Important, he stated, and
indicated he knows there are matching funds available that can be pre-
served by the authorization of a loan. Nr. Lee feels the IAAB can
sho~ a positive cash flo~ with the leasing back of the facilities and
further felt there are sene creative ways to actually con~tr~lct the

hangers and lease them to interested parties. This would enable the
IAAB to ta_k_~ advantage of the $50,000 DOT ~oney to help with the pro-
Sect, he concluded.
The final tten Hr. Lee discussed was the purposed Nater Nell
Protection Ordinance. Ils noted that the l~okalee Nater Sewer
District ha~ an existing ~ll on the airport site and that in ~orktng
out the agreement with Polyc~cls, they h~ve re~lueated aom~ additional
mites on the airport, lie advised the Co--lam/on that this te not a

indicated that the orange Grove to the north will prohibit supplying
water from that area. lie said the IAAB"e only conca~ te that fueling
factlttlea can co-exiat with water faclllttea on atta.
Cmtaeloner liaase aaked if Hr. Lee haa dlsc~maed th~ probleu
with Mr. Lorenz?
#r. Lee responded saying that Nr. Lorenz has been to one of the
IAAB"s matings and presented data, adding that there appears to be
~ ways to work around the problem.
Hr. Lorenz Indicated to the Commission that the currently proposed
Orom~d Nater Protection Ordinance will give the existing and future
water sites at the airport tho protection they need by prohibiting any
fuel storage areas where the water mites ara presently proposed in the
Airport Nastsr Plan. lie continued, saying that there is a conflict
hetween the t~eo and they are trying to work through the technical cri-
er. Lea advised the ¢o~-tsston that ~,'eryone le ~re o~ the
':~,, problea and although a solution has not been worked out, he ~mta the
Co~iaalonera to be tnforBed and understand that Great care ts being
taken.
Co~aleetoner ihanahan asked Nr. Lee if the County contributes or
authorizes their $50,000 and if Iq)mT authorizes $50,000 is there
~ually a problem.
Hr. Lee responded saying DOT ~atchlng funds ara available, but he

~,~.. that if the County matches FDOT0 hie problem te resolved.

regarding the resolution to be approvod and be pl&ced before the state
delegation. She continued, saying that there is a problem with the
resolution and nentloned that In conversation with Nary Ellen Hawkins,
Hrs. Ha~kins Indicated that the two groups, the fishermen and the pro-
i~rty owners, .ust cone together and resolve the problene before the
resolution Is taken to the mtate.
Co~almmioner S~ Indicated that the Narco Imland remidant's
reprementsttvam net with the Offshore Florida Ytshsrnen (01~) to
dlmcuem how they could work together toward an a~lc&bla resolution, by
which local people would be pernltted to fish but there ~uld be sons
prohibition on out-of-County and out-of-State connerclsl fishermen.
Co~alsstonsr Shanahan further advised the Board that It was understood
and agreed by OFF that they would neet with the Regtonal Ol~ groups,
and advise the Narco Island people of the outcone.
Co~nissloner Shanahan reviewed the ltsne discussed at the local
OFF neettng with the Narco residents ss follows:
1. Fishing will be permitted tn the homa county or the
county tmdlatel¥ north or south of the hone county.
2.No boats w111 be allowed in the canals between midnight

3. Large, identifiable letters will be placed on both the
port and starboard sides of the boats.
The Narco Island residents never got a report on the action taken
by tbs Regional OFF, Con. lesions: Shanahan advised. Hs continued,
saying that the first tine the legislation was seen was when
Co~nlssloner Ooodnlght brought It to him and he presented It to the
Narco Island residents. Conelestoner Shanahan further noted that the
Narco Island residents feel they have not had enough tine to evaluate
the plan and feel It does address the problene at hand. Co-~tssloner

~r. Raymond Reed, resident of N~rco Island, spoke to the Board
saying that following a Public Hearing on ~anuary 18, 2990, of the
Collier County L~glalatlve Delegation, Senator Fred Dudley w~ote to
the Narco Island residents on February 14, 1990, requesting that the
residents ~eet with the OFF ~esbers. The requested ~eeting took place
on Narch 1, 1990, Mr. Reed noted, and Indicated that those present
included; Co~mlssionsr Richard ihan~h~n, OFF Representative Gary iaith
and Da~os Kirk, Narco Island Resident Ray Parer and Raymond Reed.
Nr. Rasd continued, saying that at the meting Gary istth indi-
cated he was certain he could get the OFF state delegation to approve
a bi-lateral recommendation. Hr. Reed stated that Nr. Saith said
sight of the fifteen state delegates would vote with his at a ~eettng
that was to be held on Narch 9 & 10.
Reed advised that the Joint recommendation ~me as follo~m:
1. ~eo c~ty closure.
2. No canal fishing 12 A.M. to ? A.M.
3. 10 - 12" reflective numbers on the boats In
contrasting colors.
Mr. Read further advised the Coemlsston that Mr. Smith stated
that he ~ould call with a report after the ~eatlng. Nothing further
was heard until he called Mr. iaith on Narch 14, at which tt~e Nr.
ialth told his the delegates ~ould not approve the t~o county closure,
he s~ld.
Mr. Reed indicated that on Narch 15, the resolution currently
under discussion was filed with Co~mieslonsr Ooodnight without any
input fros the Narco Island residents. The Narco residents feel this
resolution should be disapproved, hs noted.
Dr. Ray Parer stated that the proposed legislation does not speak
to the issue, which he feels is the Invasion of Collier Cm~nty ~ters
by out-of-tmen Nullet ftshermn to fish the m-~ade canals. They are
b~u~d fron dolr~ thim type of fishing In their own counties of resi-
dence, he rsmrked.

terl called 'first i~pre··lon' which means those other similar
situations and their re·slutish stat~Jde, set precedence on an
which h~· not been previously ordlnanced b~ a county. Dr. Parer
r·ferred the Board to the Cape Cora! City Ordinance which say~,
~lawful by any per.on, to take or attempt to take ·alt w~ter fish
except by hook and line, or with no more than five blue crab ir·pm,
within any man-- de ·alt water cml located An the City of Cape
Coral."
He further Indicated that the Naples City Council lends its ~up-
port to · proposal from the Aqu~lane Shore· resident· for a state bill
that w~uld ban commercial fishing in man-mede canal·.
Dr. Parer said he feels that a referendum ~hould be proposed by
tho State ~eglelature and that Is the {mrpose of his appearance.
Co~mle·loner Hawse Inquired if it i· legal to prohibl~ non-
residents from fishing, and Dr. Parer indicated that to the b~st of
his knowledge this has been tried, but was unsuccessful due to the
Right-to-Mark law.
Co--ts·toner Saunder· Indicated that hie recollection of the regu-
lation of salt water fishing is that the state has taken Jurisdicttton

J~ro Carslllo Indicated the legislation regarding this typo of
fishing ts a 'gray' area tn Collier County, and that the Board needs,
in his opinion, to respond to the problem buy ellalnatlng the
questions and addressing the social situation. The support for this
issue on Marco Island ts considerable0 he said, and the residents of
the area have tried to work with the commercial fishermen for 5 years
,lth succe,,.
#r. Carslllo mede mention of the fact that Senator Dudley has
requested documented proof of problems. Most of the people who live
on Marco are different because they are not likely to get up at mid-
night to validate someone breaking the law, he added. No one should
have to Ju~ttfy something like this by having to get that kind of
evidence, he said.
Mr. CsrsIllo then reed from the preamble of the Pinellas County
Code, Section 1.13.18, 'J4hereu by reason of certain practices and
methods now used tn fishing and catching salt water fish In the waters
of Plnellas County, the fish of said county are rapidly being depleted
and destroyed and by reason thereof, It ts the beet Interest of the
County, the citizens thereof, and of the entire Stets of Florida, and
of vital IBportance and neceesar~ In the protection of the fisheries
and the fishing Industry, that certain methods and practices used in
fishing and catching fish in the waterways of ~uld count~ be stopped,
prohibited, and declared unlawful.
Nr° Carstllo stated that he could not think of a better descrip-
tion of the problem as it exists ~n Collier County. He continued,
that there are no guarantees In any Job, and there are times when
thlng~ have to change, and this ts one such time. Nr. Careillo then
urged the Board to support the proposed hill given to the Board by Dr.
Parer.
Cosatssloner Volpe asked Mr. Carelllo tf the ordinances that have
been identified are relatively recent, and Mr. Carslllo indicated that
they are, and listed the numbers of the ordinances a~ follow8~
L~e County Special Acts, Volume 2, Chapter 88-489.

Cosalsslonsr Volpe noted that the purpose of hie question ts to
commercial fishermen Into Collier County.
Mr. Carstllo Indicated that some of the fisher.eh from as far away
as I~ulsiana follow the migration of the Mullet, and Collier County
happens to be the end of line. Flshsr~en are not going to go Into the
lational Park or Into Monroe County to do this type of fishing, he
adde~. Mhen they get to Plnellae and Lee Count~, they are funnneled
to Collier County and the fiahere~n fro~ this County have to eh~re
wh~t Is here on a ? to 1 ratio0 he said.
Mr. Carslllo noted that of the 16 licensed ftsher~n, and that
ft~ure say be incorrect, only 5 - 6 from Goodland actually fish the
c~nale. The others go out to Coon Key and catch Mullet the way they
were trained by good fishermen and do not need th~ corral th~ ~an-~ade
waterways create, he noted.
Commissioner Hesse asked Mr. Caretllo if he has m~t with the
flsher~en, and Mr. Carelllo Indicated that due to a personal problem
he has not had the opportunity. He indicated that he Ia aware of the
present legislation, because hs has attended the other ~eetlnge, and
that the legislation does not ~eat the requirements of the Marco
residents.
Nho Is to say that at ll:Sa P.M., Mr. Carstllo continued, when
there are noises in our back*yard, we are to assu~e It is a hanlese
Intrusion. He concurred that It Is an unu~l set of circumstances,
rmrkln~ that many people on i~rco Island uae their back yards a
~reat deal, and feel the legislation ts & b~nd-atde measure. He con-
tlnued saying that the water 20 feet rmt fro~ the sea w~ll is the pr~

ordinance dates for all three ordinances, and Indicated that this
deeonstrstes the progression of the problea down the coast.
Contsstoner Hames asked if Mr. Carstllo has noticed any par-
ttcular increase in crine, fron the canal area. When Nr. Careillo
responded negatively, Coolesioner Hamme asked the meeting at lsrge if
anyone ha~ any idea of the etatlmttcs?
Hr. Carmlllo indicated that tn order to have a recorded ~lm-
demeanor, the sequence of evsntm must follow a certain order, and
unless the Sheriff is present to witness what tm happening and the
person who is making the complaint tm there at the sane time the crime
tm being co~mitted, it cannot he considered s misdemeanor. Therefore,
he remarked, it te virtually tmpommlbls to execute the laws that are
on the boo~ ~hlch is Senator Dudley's position.
It Is s law that tm totally useless In this tnmtance, Mr. Cars/Ilo
said.
Commissioner Yelps asked whether the City of Naples has taken any
action, to which Hr. CareJllo responded that the Aqualane 8heres reel-
dents are the people Who have dratm up the recommended legislation to
be put on for a rsferendun.

lira. Johnson co~ented that they have explained how the equipsent
works and noted that there was a co~plex Huller rule enacted in October
1989, to help insure the protection of this resource.
Mrs. Johr~son luther explained that on lannary 10, 1990, bec&~ss of
Mr. B~kwayes perseverance, the organization stood before the City of
Naplem to object to the closing of the canals fron net fimhez~an. The
Naplem City Council, she continued, tabled the notion for one year
to give the fishersen an opportunity to met with the waterfront pro-
perty owners associations and resolve the situation.
On January 18, 1990, Nra. Johnson said, Aqualana Shoram broached
the legislative reco~ndatton with the state delegation and, again,
the 0F~ mabera presented an argun~nt that the resource wam not the
Issue. The delegation declared the issue ta social, and therefore,
the organzationa should hake every effort to reach a co,pro, lee within
ninety days.
Senator Dudley lndlcatet, Nra. Johnson said, two item are needed

evidence of incidents occurtng on the canals and secondly, support of

In reslxmas to this, Hrs. Johnson stated, the organization began

Commissioner Volpe asked how ~any Collier County residents hold
this type of license.
Mrs. Johnson deferred the mlswor to Grady Johr~on, who told
Co~miesioner Volpe that in the lccal chapter there ars 90 and
thro~ighout the County there ere over 300.
Nr. Or·dy Johnson, representing the Organized Ftmher~n of
Florida, referred to s ~e~o from Dr. $ohn itetger, Natural Resource
I~n~ger for the City of Naples, addressed to the City Council on Narch
1, 1990. Hr. Johnson indicated this me~o ~red ~an¥ of the
resource questions, by saying 'the Governor ~nd Cabinet approved the
~l~rlne Fisheries Co--tsston's Ptullst Rule on September 26, 1989.' To
&ddress the question of overflshlng, the I~rins Fisheries Co~lsslon
agreed to reduce the fishing efforts by 18 to 20~ by closing the
fisheries by 36 hour closure, he continued. In the ~ullet fishery,
this time, the period from Saturday ~orntng at sunrtes to Sunday
~enlng at l~un~et, from October 1, through J~-m~ry 15, is 36 hour clo-
sure on the weekends, Mr. Johnson explained. The effect of this cio-
sure is not kno~n nc~, but the DIOR N&rins Resource Staff ii co~plling
~nd ~n~lyztng the d~ta for the past roe Nullet season, ~nd they will
report their findings to the Harlne fisheries Conleelon tn April or
Hay, h~ continued. Re~ding fron the s~o he said, 'if n~csasary tha
NFC will rmcona~nd m rule nodification to the Governor and Cablnat.'
To clmrify, Nr. Johnson amid that the HFC has nadm the Nullet
fishing industry & restricted Jpecies endormement and thie endorsement
an~st be on the license to harvest Nullet. At thlm time, ha added,
~c~u~e tt Is a restricted species en,loree~nt, there Is an influx of
people trying to meet the qualifications. Those qu~liflcattons,
Johnson outlined, include a $6,000 fee or proof that 2~ of ~nnu~l
income is derived from the IndustrY. Ol~ Is now investigating in
effort to obtain Information on ~ho h~m met the qu~ltftcattonm nd ~ho

~re in the c~n~le and once the rainy season begins, the yards wmsh
off, the pollutants enter the c~nal and the Nullet leave, he informed
the Co,missioners.
Dr. Frateer, the Chairman of the Nmrtne Fisheries Commission, and
Dr. $~elger h~ve established that the Natural Resource 14~n~gement
alremiy been addressed In the existing Huller Rule and the N~C will
fins tune the rule if necessary by aid-year, Hr. 3ohnson added.
Hr. 3ohnson further remarked that OFF hopes the 36-hour clo~ure
m~d the other comproataee will ~eet eo~e of the requirements of the
residents of Narco Island, m~d reslnded the Board that they have
instructed Sheriff Don Runter to substantiate the problems as reported
on Narco Island.
The Sheriff's report Indicates that over the designated time there
were twenty-two calls for service ccmplainte; the Nartne Sactton
h~ndled fourteen of the colplalnts, ~nd the Narco Islm~d District
Patrol h~ndled the other eight, Hr. Johnson noted. In all the
Investigative activities, twenty-one ~ers unfounded and the cause of
the other one w~ a fishing boat ~hich was creating a w~ke ~nd causing
minor d~m~ge to a ~oored boat.
In connection with citations, four boating cltltlor~ were Issued
to marine fisher~n on the Narco River and twenty-eight recorded war-
hinge ~re Issued to flaher~en ~c.d all Involved lesser n~vlglttonal
rule violations. Hr. Johnson ~ddad that no vlol&tlons were ls~d on
the time restrictions or ~otortzed net releue, ~nd no vtol&tlons were
issued concerning theft, criminal mischief, or crlalnal trespassing.
Hr. Johnson ascertained from the reports that there has been no
crlsln~l Ilachlef, ~nd lnter~ected that during this period of time,
150 commercial skiffs were operating out of the Narco facilities, ~nd
meet fishing ~ctlvltlee carried out by these skiffs were c~rrted out

Through the Restricted Species Endorsement and the filtering down
process a~ outlined by the State, there will be a reduction in the
anount of comrctal fishing tn the ares, Mr. Johnson said.
Co~nlssloner Volpe Inquired if there is anything the Board can
do with rs~pect to the out-of-county ftshslmen. Me have been told, he
maid, that we cannot regulate our own comrcial fishernen because of
the Rlght-To-Mork law.
At this point, ~r. Johnson stated, there ie not anything the
Board can u~e to legislate locally that would restrict out-of-county
co~e~rctal fishing tn this area tn natural or ~an altered waters.
Hr. Johnson then pointed out that the local chapter of OW has
decided to honor a full county clo~ure of canals free 11P.H. to ?
A.H. in addition to the weekend clo~urs. Me are sincerely trying to
give the public their nights rest, but st the sm tine we are trying
to hold on to the canals because before the canals were built here,
the ~ullet were accessible, he said.
We do not have the bodies of water that St. Petersburg, Punts
Oorda, and Cape Coral have for the fish to hold up in, and he quoted
the proposed ordinance free OIT saying, "It ts unlawful for any person
to operate or cause to be operated for the purpose of taking fish with
a ester po~red vessel with a setting of nets in any nan-nade canal
be~en the hours of 11 P.M. and 7 A.M. Such areas shall Include the
entrance area~ of all canals from seawall to seawall and extend to the
deed end of the canal.'
Co~teelouer Shanahan asked Mr. Johrmonwhat the difference ts
bet~een that section and the section that Is already in the ordinance.
Hr. ~ohn~on explained that the proposed ordinance also prohibits 'any
cou~rclal yeses! from anchoring overnight in any ~an-~ads car~al
except for energenc~ situations.'

Hr. ~ohnson clarified that this period Is free Saturday ~orntng
at sunrise to Sund~y evening at Sunset throughout the state £rma October
1 through January 15.
Comateetoner Volpe inquired about the stipulation regarding being
within 100 feet of a aan-~ade seawall.
Hr. Johnson Indicated the 100 feet portion would have to be
deleted because It also pertains to bodies of water outside the
c~leo
Hr. ~ohrmon added suggestions ads by the Narco Island residents,
~hich states 'Collier County vessels shell h~ve the vessel's Salt Water
Products license or the owner's Salt Water Products license clearly
printed on both the port and starboard sides In 6 inch letters'.
Commissioner Hesse asked about the verbiage regarding selling the
fish ~ was lnfor~ed that the co~ercial ftsher~ul is licensed to
sell.
Co~mtesloner Sh~ questioned the height of the letters and Nr.
Johrmon Indicated that a emJorlty of the tn shore fishing boats that
are used are very e~m110 and said he feels the lettering should be the
ea~ size as the numbers used by the people who live In the hms
on the canal. They ernst post the ntmbere of their addresses on the
canal side so that they can be read fro~ 100 feet by a viewer with
10/10 vision, Nr. Johnson said.
Nr. Johnson Indicated the boat r~-pe should be off-lisite for
transferring and selling any seafood product. Re continued saying
that there are seven fish houses tn business in Collier County and the
fishing ca,ps should not be perattted to co~e In for 30 to 40 days for
the selling of the seafood ha,est.
Cosmtselon~r Husa asked County Attorney Cuylsr about the restric-
tions on the sale of these seafood products.
County &ttorney Cuyler Indicated that he believes there are
restrictions on retail sales.

public transportation.
Commissioner ~oodnight questioned how the people tn lmm·kales will
be convinced to call KMS, if they ara not doing thio now? Mr. Reardon
sold that he bell,mm that an educational progru will need to be pro-
vid~d to the folks tn Xmmok~lem~ working closely with Rev. Allen; the
Bombers of CURE, and other local influential local people to educate
in nltl-linguml Mthodo that the service Is there, how it should be
u~ed, ~nd that 911 should be celled.
Mr. ~eorge Keller qu~etlor~d ~hether the people who will he
transported will be paying a fee for the services? Mr. Reardon stated
that It is assumed that If these p~oplo do not have transportation,
the reason Is that they cannot afford it. Mr. Keller said that there
should be a fee, i.e., $3.00, and if the person is unable to pay, the
fee could be waived. He noted that there are charitable inmtitutiono
and otberm that could get involved In thio service. Mr. Roordon noted
that, if directed by the Coeniselon, he will be happy to neet with Mr

Assistant County )tanager McLezore advised that pursuant to Florida
Statmtea Chapter 125.01 and a finding by the Board regarding benefltl
relative to the health, safety, and welfare to the community, the
Commission Mill be asked to adopt a Imndetory collection ordinance
providing for unlforl eysteBatlc collection disposal of solid mt. In
Collier County. He noted that the ordinance sets out a definition
lectton providing for the operating terl~ and distinguishing solid
waste from ~pectal and haTtrdou~ mt. categories. He tnforled that
the ordinance e~tablts~l the Board as the Governing Bod~ of the
Benefit Units, of ~htch there will be two for the purposes of
collecting -andatory as~ess.kents; the ordinance provides for the lan-
datory collection of comkerclal and residential accounts; for occu-
pancy of residential and commercial facilities aa evidenced by the

*'~ acmmulation of solid ~aste and smkea those bill&bls units; the ordl-
:!:i~ hence also provides for the financing of residential collection
'-: through the assessment process through the Tax Collector's Office; for
th~ regulation of commercial rates, and an annual rate resolution for
residential assessment of rates. He noted that the Co~mleslon will
'~ n~ed to deternln~ each year whet the ratee will be baaed upon a nego-
i~ tiered ~gremnt with the vendor. He advised that the ordinance pro-
rides for a atni~ue of twice a week pick-up for both commercial and
r~sid~ntlal customers; provides for unlielted residential pick-up;
provides for commercial pick-up based on bulk container sizes; provi-
des for the establieh~ent of two NSTU'o for residential services for
the p~rpo~ of collecting through non ad valoree aseee~nte; provt-
. dee for the service year to begin on January l, 1992, and for the
collection through the tax collector's office to begin in the 1991 tax
cycle; providee for disposal of solldwaete only and penttted dl~po-
ul aires, ~nd fill smterJal fro~ construction sites; provides for
exemptions fro~ commercial collection under certain conditions tn
which the peraon applying for those exemptions can demonstrate the
ability to transport the mterial to a anltable ette~ provides for
prosecution for violation of the ordinance ~nd the use of the Code
Enforcement Board to ~d~lnleter the process of violations.
Co~isaloner Volpe questioned whether aea result of the County-
wide sm~v~y, the sentiments of the reatdente are known with re~pect to
~nd~tory solid waste collection? Hr. HcLesore indicated that an
update of this year's survey wlll be cmspleted within a ~ek, but
noted that lost of the toE.nfs to date have been very poeittve.
Commlalloner Volpe et&~ed that Tax Collector Carlton has provided
the Co.mission with an -:.lnlon letter relative to the ability to
collect 'mpeclal aims 'Mntl', and asked ho~ this line h4~ been
addressed in the draft ordinance?

that tho~e using the ~ervlce are paying for it, but it is not pro-
ce~ed a~ · non ad vslore~ billing on the tax collector*e roll m~d the
tax deeds cannot be ~old from It in the enforcement process. He indi-
cated that the tax collector has been utilized by · contractual
o~ng~nt to provide for the billing in his nailing.
~lssioner Volpa commented that he does not want to ese anyone
loose his proper~y for the non-payment of his solid waste collection
fee. He indicated that he believes that there should be a ~uffictent
~------t of public input es to th~ con~eq.tence~ of going to the
dator~ my~te~ for which the remult m~y b~ included on the tax bill and
collected through the tax collector's cffice and if this le not paid,
a tax certificate will be mold and there is a possibility that a par-
· on could loose his property.
Commissioner iaunders ~uggeeted that Staff cons b~ck with some
other l~mguags which would ~oftsn the impact · bat when the ordin~nce
is con. id·red.
Hr. Neigel stated that an important part of the overall enfor-
mt and to obtain compliance upfront is the idea to have · billing
~ta m~d an enforcement eyste~ which ~eshes with the tax collector
ec ha ~ld not have to have 2 or 3 ~ystsna in force for billing. He
indicated that it is conceivable that prior to January 1, 1992,
the bailing procedure with the tax collector and the property
appraiser could be left in place with assessment role utilization, and
· weparate aseesmnt procedure prior to that tins, if the Co.~lssion
feelm it im appro~_-late t,, have ~andetory collection.
~lmmioner Volpe con, urred with Commissioner iaundsrs that sm
other elterr~atlve should se considered.
Mr. HcLemore advl~ d that there are ~ other natho~m: the
contractor could continue the billing, and if the collection is ~an-
datory, the County has to pick up the difference; collection r·tem
~d~en u~ing tax certificate nathodm is 96~; or better, and when this
nathod is not being used, collection is ·pproxlnatsl¥

the primary goal for co~rcial building pezlitS. Since the operation
h~s beff~ streamlined, gs~ of the first responses are under 10 days
with an ~verage of 6-7 days, he added.
That one initial goal, Nr. NadeJewski noted, has allowed his to
see where he can apply other perfozlanCe standards to the operation
m~d to try to be on the ~usto~er assistance side. Xn response to this
goal, he coati.ed, Staff has adopted the 10 day turn arom~d ~lme for
preliminary mite plane, final mite plans and petttton r~vlews.
Staff has encouraged people to saet with hie dspertsant or to call
him to discuss what is necessary so ~veryona can get t~dtate feed
beck ~nd g~t their approvals earlier, I~. liadeJewski indicated. He
continu~d by saying that they are promoting the idea of a ~m~datory
preapplicatlon meeting to get plane through sore quickly.
The soar tiaa consuming area is the research for review, adding
stipulations, m~d moving the petition forward, he said. In the
responses, Staff has been mting 60-85~ on the 10 day service basis,
Nr. KsateJe~ski remarked.
The site plane, plats, and petitions revim~ed total 740 projects
ia tl~ last year, Nr. NAdeJe~ski lnfOZled the Board, and the actual
per, Its issued in 1989 is over 5,000. Re continued by adding that on
the bigger projects with higher use, including short and long for~s,
ebo~t 1850 pereits have been revles~ed.
In ordar to maintain this high performance level, Nr. NadeJes~ski
contirm~d, groups have been consolidated of professional engineers,
ax~alyste, and environ~enta! experts, fie said there have been only two
~urnovere in the pest ~- ~ years, one of which w~nt to lee County for

In s~pport of keeping people, he has cross - tralr~d the staff so
