(Nine categories would be eliminated.) • Continued chemical spraying Others will likely have additional items to be considered. Because of the apparent success of floating islands at Avalon, we should get an estimate of the comparative costs of floating islands vs. aeration/plantings. For future budgetary considerations, we should get an estimate of the increased cost of maintaining the 19 lakes now maintained by individual associations.

Quote Date:3/17/2015 By:R. Watkins Quote good for 30 days item 4ci; 3/26/2015 At the beginning of FY 2015, the County engaged with an external consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive study of the BCC's Pay and Classification Plan with the objective of designing a compensation strategy that reduces turnover, attracts qualified personnel and both fairly and equitably compensates employees for their expertise, contributions and commitment to Collier County Government. The study revealed that approximately 20% of job classifications are below the median value for the southern Florida region. To achieve the desired objectives stated above, the County Manager is proposing a pay plan maintenance appropriation valued at 1.5% of base salary or approximately $1,700,000 which is designed to maintain employee pay ranges at the average(50t percentile) of the competitive market. Further, the County Manager is also proposing a $1,000 or 1.5% general wage adjustment whichever is greater in line with the change in the Consumer Price Index. These two compensation events serve to stabilize employee earning which were eroded during the recession when no compensation adjustments were provided. Adopted Budget Policy: Appropriate dollars equivalent to a $1,000 or 1.5% general wage adjustment whichever is greater and a 1.5% for pay plan maintenance as part of FY 2016 budget planning and that the structure of such adjustment be submitted by the County Manager for Board consideration at the June workshop meeting. In previous years the Board of County Commissioners has authorized adjustments to the compensation plan as shown within the following table. Program Component FY 07 FY 08 FY 09 FY 10- FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY 16 FY 12 Recommended General Wage Adjustment 4.70% 4.10% 4.20% 0.00% 2.00% $1,000 2.00% 1.50%/$1,000 /$1,000 Awards Program 1.50% 1.50% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Pay Plan Maintenance 0.25% 0.25% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 1.50% Total 6.45% 5.85% 4.20% 0.00% 2.00% $1,000 2.00% 3.00% Health Care Program Cost Sharing The County is self funded and seeks to operate the health plan with the same diligence as a small insurance company. Like an insurance company, the County faces a significant budget risk within the health plan due to the potential for a statistical claim cost variance of 10% around the expected mean claims cost. Such variance is normal statistically and has its roots in the fact that total medical costs are extremely sensitive to the number of claimants who experience catastrophic losses. The expected number and size of large claimants is by nature extremely random and volatile. To manage and prevent this variability, the County reinsures catastrophic losses and maintains a prudent reserve to comply with Florida Department of Insurance requirements as well as to protect the General Fund from this volatility. There are several goals that guide how the County operates the plan within the small insurance company context. These are: 1. Comply with all legal and regulatory requirements for plan operation 2. Manage plan cost trends to be 30%or more below published trends 3. Maintain overall controllable expenses, reinsurance costs, network fee arrangements and reserves at prudent levels 12 LO r . 0 N CO N CO Ln E a) In "O O -a a) N I aa)) a)a) O aa) c c O o) ° Cl a) as x m c c0 w w a c o ., c ca LL = 73 o *- Cl) m E- I-- 2 E W = m * * a co * * Z � N LnrCOLnr� MLO rn00 O 5 W d r 00 M r r Co 0 d' r r 0 0 r d' r` N CO N- LO CO 00 CO CO CO O r C -0 X y CCU 'cr' M CAM chMr: CACO N: (5L 'i a) L) C y 7, r 'ch 00 00 N O N COO r Ln M O E - a) 3 0 d CO N r r N r r r d (N r ER M L UJ K t� 69- 69-Efl 69.69 ER 69 ER (f}69- M E Ca 05 IL C d ER to E >, ✓ C O _ r Z 1-O — 3 c Q Y co Z 00 .0 000000 00 0 Loc) o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O ER c C N- L() tir - 0rd' NCO CO a) LL d O M r O CO N Ln ti .1-- M 00 N a) U O a) Q E NCO r000c NM Mr C) c U 0 Cl) y co LC) r r r r ER r r r r Co 0 O a) (a Cy m y EA E9 64 69 64 69 64 Efl Ef-} EH r - U) C C O 0 EF} � .� C I— Cl) o n o E 0 U) = C — a al 0 0 O 0 0 0 O O 7 U) U Q- >. 0 0 0 0 0 CO CD CO 0 o O O OO O O O ,1- go. r 0 U L 06 2 +r C W r r r r r 0) C CO 1 ER 69 69.69 69- 69. r N - a) C E>3 vi r E i C C 'C O Q ER Ln co C 0 2 LO p C 4 C a) J * 4- N ° 2 o I V >, 00 0000000 000 Co a) mod' ca ca C r 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 E N 0 > 2 E r c O) 0 0 0 d- 0 0 o co co o o C) ® co .Q a) a) r O Ln O ct N Ln Ln ct N N O O N V to 'O t?-C U m r U N- M IC) r 000MMCO CO Lf) d C a) a) Ca (a r N N N r ER ER 69 ER ER ER ER N C > y a) = L ER ER Ef?

The goal and supporting objectives were formed in conjunction with stakeholder input and are based on the management issues present in the NRPA as well as the purposes for which the land is held in public trust. The Clam Bay NRPA requires active management to ensure its long term health. The goal and supporting objectives set forth in this plan should not appreciably change over time, but management techniques and strategies may be modified to appropriately manage the NRPA. Annual reports documenting the results and analysis of all monitoring activities over the course of the previous year will be completed, and the results presented at one of the PBSD's announced monthly meetings. The ability to implement specific objectives of the management plan is dependent upon available administrative and financial support. Therefore, activities will require prioritization to remain within available funding. Management strategies will be reviewed annually by the PBSD and adapted as needed. GOAL The goal of the Clam Bay NRPA Management Plan is to establish the basis for management activities that will be undertaken to protect the health of the Clam Bay NRPA estuary. Objectives to support this goal include: 1. Maintain and protect the native floral and faunal communities within the Clam Bay NRPA 2. Ensure the estuary has adequate tidal and freshwater flows to maintain ecological health within the Clam Bay NRPA 3. Monitor and maintain water quality within the Clam Bay NRPA 4. Monitor archaeological sites within the Clam Bay NRPA 5. Ensure recreational activities are environmentally compatible within the Clam Bay NRPA These objectives were formed to allow for adaptive management,whereby the compilation and analysis of all data will occur holistically and provide direction to adjust strategies to better achieve the goal. 38 CLAM BA YNRPA MANAGEMENT PLAN Pelican Bay Services Division October 2014 Ver. 6.5 Objective 1—Maintain and protect the native floral and faunal communities within the Clam Bay NRPA This objective is focused on ensuring natural resource protection and long-term sustainability by evaluating and prioritizing available relevant information about the estuary in order to develop and implement a cohesive management strategy that protects the native floral and faunal communities. A. Maintain healthy, native floral and faunal populations. 1) Establish plots and photo points in Coastal Scrub and Cabbage Palm Hammock habitats and monitor periodically. 2) Monitor established plots in the mangroves periodically. 3) Monitor established transects in the seagrasses periodically. 4) Monitor benthic organisms periodically. 5) Monitor wildlife within the NRPA periodically. 6) Determine through regular biological monitoring whether intervention strategies are necessary to protect the ecological health of the NRPA. B. Protect Listed Species. 1) Identify and determine the status of listed floral and faunal species and associated habitats to the extent possible. 2) Monitor gopher tortoise burrows periodically. 3) Acquire Collier County sea turtle nesting data as they become available. 4) Update educational information on species, such as the Clam Bay Guide, as needed. C. Remove Exotic and Nuisance Flora and Fauna. 1) Locate and identify exotic and nuisance species within the Clam Bay NRPA. 2) Remove, or report to the responsible entity for removal,Category I and II invasive exotic species and nuisance species as needed. 39 CLAM BA YNRPA MANAGEMENT PLAN Pelican Bay Services Division October 2014 Ver. 6.5 Objective 2—Ensure the estuary has adequate tidal and freshwater flows to maintain ecological health within the Clam Bay NRPA This objective is focused on managing hydrology and evaluating freshwater inputs to the Clam Bay NRPA. A. Identify the minimum tidal flow necessary to ensure a healthy ecosystem. Provide sufficient tidal exchange to maximize benefits while minimizing negative environmental impacts. 1) Conduct periodic bathymetric surveys of Clam Pass. 2) Conduct periodic analysis of tidal data. 3) Maintain tidal gauges. 4) Conduct bathymetric surveys of interconnecting waterways when needed. 5) Determine whether ecological benefits of intervention activities outweigh potential negative ecological impacts. 6) Monitor identified variables of Clam Pass conditions to determine when dredging is needed. (See Chapter 5.0 and Appendix 5 for information on variables.) 7) Seek appropriate federal and state permits to dredge Clam Pass or interconnecting waterways if needed. B. Ensure appropriate freshwater inputs and drainage. 1) Identify freshwater inputs(quantity, quality, and timing). 2) Evaluate effects of freshwater inputs on existing native communities and develop remediation strategies if needed. 3) Conduct periodic monitoring of hand-dug channels. 4) Perform periodic maintenance of selected sections of hand-dug channels. Objective 3—Monitor and maintain water quality within the Clam Bay NRPA This objective is focused on ensuring compliance with State and Federal water quality standards and reducing pollutant inputs to maintain ecological health.
