IV. ACTION LIST:
Status of Items in Progress
1. FRANK E. MACKLE JR. PARK COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION:
Advertised on December 3rd. pre Bid Conference for any bidders to ask questions regarding proposal form
Purchasing, Legal, and Parks & Recreation Staff.
2. DUNE RESTORATION GRANT:
Vanderbilt & Barefoot Beach. $72,000 - no change.
3. VANDERBILT BEACH ACCESS:
No new activity.. Mr. Kevin O'Donnell suggested if PARAB wishes to discuss this issue and take their
recommendation to the BCC, it is within their authority. Existing beach accesses on North Gulfshore
Boulevard are 10' wide walkways with no parking. Mr. Kim Kobza will provide maps and plans regarding the
Beautification MSTD and determination will be made whether or not to pursue this issue.
4. PLASTICS ON THE BEACHES:
Renamed Recycling. Still on a trial basis at Tigertail and here in the office.
5. TIGERTAIL VEGETATION UPDATE:
Copy of permit from DNR received. BCC gave parameters and the permit does not meet these requirements.
Decision needs to be made whether or not to accept the permit as it stands. After discussion, Mr. Gil
Mueller motioned not to accept the communication of 11/27 from the Department of Natural Resources. Ask
the Board of County Commissioners to direct staff to explore potential for offering further additional
mitigation and go to at least the "green tine" as established in the original resolution and to file
whatever appeals are necessary, with emphasis on replacing necessary vegetaton. Mr. Steve Ball seconded.
Roll Call Vote taken: Ms. Geneva Till - for; Mr. Gil Mueller - for; Mr. Steve Ball - for; Mr. Kim Kobza -
for. Unanimous. Mr. Kevin O'Donnell will try to place it on the BCC agenda next Tuesday as an emergency
item.
NOTE: Minutes from BCC inacurately depicts the greenline, which is the 1983 line, per Harry Huber. The
compromise line directed by BCC is actually 25' in front of dune crossovers.
6. REGIONAL SPORTS PARK:
No change. Negotiations are continuing a little behind schedule.
'7. IMMOKALEE AIRPORT PARK BATHROOM FACILITIES:
Design is underway, and should be completed by the end of the month. Bids go out in January, 1991. This
has been on our Action List for awhile.
8. POOLS REVISED:
In the Comprehensive Plan, we have identified an Olympic size pool, and a smaller 25 meter pool for
Immokalee. We established that the priority by resolution, when we had our budget hearing, we recommended
to the County Board that the next expenditure be for building a pool. There was some discussion about the
location of the pool, and establishing a time table. The design work has been started but not completed.
As to location, there are some parking concerns at Golden Gate Community Park. Ms. Geneva Till said, "I
was happy to here Chris Holley say that he was really dismayed that we were even thinking about moving the
pool, because of the population center being here and they were in favor of having it where it had
originally been planned". Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "The Olympic pool has never been designated for the
Golden Gate Community Park. Throughout, even with our Growth Management Plan impact fee ordinances, the
PAGE #2

8. POOLS REVISED: (continued)
L Olympic Pool was a regional park type of facility." Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "When it looked like
substantial progress towards a Regional park was not going to be made, Golden Gate Community Park was
chosen as an alternate site. But, As you move into the project, design, and the space requirements for the •
pool facility, a larger pool is insufficient for the Golden Gate Community Park without moving some others
type of facility." Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "There are some concerns regarding the near by rock formations
that this type of facility will sit on, and the increased cost, particularly with going underground instead
of building on top (i.e. like a ballfield) that would be associated with that type of construction. It's a
neighborhood facility, and irrespective of where it goes, people are going to have to drive to the
facility. As a fellow professional, I respect Mr. Holley's opinion, but Mr. Holley has got a very selfish
issue. He realizes that a facility located here in Golden Gate is going to provide better service to the
residents of the City of Naples. You will also want to be in a location where you can address potential
expansion and provide the necessary support. If you bring in an attractive facility, like the pool, that's
going to bring in additional traffic, we don't have the necessary space to put in the adequate support
parking facilities, unless you somehow acquire more land here to provide necessary support for that
facility. Much less, the development of the other park facilities are already identified within the
Comprehensive Plan over the next four (4) years required here (such as indoor racquetball courts, lighting
of the football/soccer field) that are going to create additional traffic and positive public use. The
space is not here that will make that facility work effectively. In my opinion, I don't want any type of
facility constructed, particularly when we're looking at a facility with special features such as a water
slide that is going to inhibit our ability for revenue enhancement and public use, and I think by placing
that facility in here, that's going to be a problem."
It would be the largest single facility the County will build for capital expenditure as well as
operating expenses. Ms. Geneva Till said, "I have talked to the Commissioners and Neil Dorrill, and they
think that this area is the place for the pool to be." Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "You can't put this
facility in there without changing the original master plan of this park, and the BCC adopted the master
plan of this facility, and you can not do that. Partly because when they located the Administrative
building, it had an impact on the space available for additional park facilities." It has always been
recognized to be a regional park type of facility, which is why we can use Regional Park impact fees to pay
for it, versus Community Park impact fees. When the BCC adopted the Growth Management Plan, mandated by
the State, they didn't say "we want to build everything within the parks" or "we want to build just a small
pool", they did say is "you guys build one pool to serve the Greater Naples area" and they didn't even say
"put it in Golden Gate" or "put it in East Naples", they said "build one larger facility". That's
basically what the Comprehensive Plan says, and what we're saying is, when these plans were designed back
in 1982, that was not envisioned. What was envisioned was a small pool like, at North Naples a small pool
deal, a small pool elsewhere and that's substantially changed things. That includes the area available,
actual acreage, space, land, to develop that facility. The original Master Plans were displayed, and
explained to the PARAB Members by Mr. Cliff Crawford.
We're behind schedule on the design work, which was scheduled to be done this year. Mr. Kevin
O'Donnell said, "There is nothing that says' that we can't use Regional Park Impact fees to build Regional
Park Type of facilities in Community Parks, we can do that. Keep in mind that Community Parks by
definition is drawn from a smaller area even though it's serving a multitude of functions, and that's the
reason why the Regional Park is for throughout the entire County. Everybody in theory can go there."
The County Attorneys' Office hopes to have Bluebill placed on the market in January of 1991, and be
able to close on that approximately in March of 1991. Right now, technically, the property is not for
sale. Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "Initially the funding will primarily come out of impact fees. The sale of
the Bluebill property, after the replenishment of the funds that were borrowed, if there is a surplus, it
goes into the County's Parks & Recreation 306 reserve fund. That could be determined as a revenue and
could probably be considered for any project as determined by the BCC." We've got roughly 2.2 million in
impact fee funds available, and obviously we get more every time someone pulls a residential building
permit. The Pool will cost at least about 2.6, so that is the source we were going to anticipate using."
Mr. Kim Kobza asked if there has been any inclination to follow up on private donations? Mr. Kevin
O'Donneli-said that he hasn't heard anything in years as to a private donation. At one point, some
••
citizens were willing to do some fund raising in Marco, to get a pool going. We've indicated that we were
not planning a pool facility at all down on Marco. Mr. Kim Kobza said, "I had a Developer/Benefactor for
the community that's ready to lay four (4) million dollars on the table. He came to me, and was ready to
do that." Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said that we're more than willing to sit down and talk to you about it.
Some time ago, PARAB voted on a contract with Wilson, Miller, Barton, & Peek, Inc. on the design fee.
Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "If we looked at alternative sites, we would expect them to expect additional
compensation if you're going to do site adaptation to other facilities." Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "That
particular contract with Wilson, Miller is for Phase II of the Community Park facilities, it doesn't
include Regional Parks. If that facility doesn't go into a Community Park, we need draw up a new contract.
We did some preliminary design, Cliff has had some initial meetings with Wilson Miller as to basics as to
what we want to incorporate into the pool (i.e. diving platform, wave machine, construction of pool), but
we've only done about 20% of the design work." Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "We have put that project on hold.
We are at the point where we've got preliminary design plans (i.e. bath house facilities), we do have a
preliminary site plan for location at this facility not including some feature that should be incorporated
as part of the project, we've got preliminary design consideration work completed, time table, and some
other things like that. So, we've got an actual plan that's probably a tittle further along than 20% at
this point in time." It does not address some issues such as parking, soil boring, site determination.
Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "When Engineers start doing designs, they want to know where you want to put the
thing, so what he told them right now, was to anticipate Golden Gate Community Park. He also said, don't
do a whole tot of work right not on this project, and particularly the work that you do on this project,

8. POOLS REVISED (continued):
make it so it is adaptable so that if it goes to another location, it's not money that we've thrown down
the drain. They're getting into the design relative to the special needs, equipments, programs that we
would want at the pool site." Mr. Cliff Crawford said, "We'reedoing the work with the minimum health
standards set by the Health Department, for chlorination, for competitive needs from High School to
College, design criteria for handicapped, and other Federal requirements, locker room space requirements,
etc." The 20% to date, was part of the Phase II design of the contract of about $478,0000. The design
work was funded separately, the 2.6 million dollars is construction dollars and other special features.
Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "Until we make a further determination relative to where the pool is going
to go, I've told the staff to slow down design work on the Olympic size pool." Mr. Cliff Crawford said,
"Operating an Olympic size pool in South Florida can cost around a half a million dollars a year.
Recognizing the importance of that type of facility for this community, I think it's incumbent upon us as
staff, recognizing those significant expenditures for one type of facility within the Parks & Recreation
system, to look at revenue enhancement opportunities to offset those expenditures rather than through
general admission and user fees. Which means, look at features that you can incorporate in the design that
will enhance and improve those opportunities to make money, and that may mean things like water slides. In
light of the concerns of taxation in this and other communities, and the pressing needs of so many areas of
government responsibilities, that to make this project work, not just to design, construct, and build that,
to make this work and make it functional for this community, we need to show a good opportunity to provide
a strong revenue source to minimize that Advelorum impact to support this facility. If you don't have the
parking requirements to adequately provide the users places to park and use the facility, you are going to
impact the revenue. Location ws an impact. This is a one only type of facility, so location does not have
the same significance, because it's going to serve the entire 2,032 square miles of Collier County as it
would if it was more unique in and of itself. it makes more sense to keep it as close to you main group
that you are serving as humanly as possible, because it doesn't make sense to say "let's put the Olympic
size pool in Immokalee" with the population base there, it will make 3/4's of the county drive and hour to
use it. Keep in mind that as we're moving along with the regional park facility, and that 200 acre parcel
be the Baseball Complex, depending upon what shakes out with that, we may or may not put it there. If that
fails to materialize, are we still going to go ahead with our Olympic size pool. If that question is yes,
and if we're not going to put it on that Regional Park site, are we going to get another Regional Park
site? Once we answer that question, if it's a no, then we've got three more Community parks that are
scheduled by Growth Management Plan. One we've already acquired the land for, which is the Vineyards,
which is unimproved. So obviously we don't have to worry about moving ball fields, etc. around there. Do
we go to an existing Community Park which has got facilities already built into it? Mr. Cliff Crawford
said, "With respect to the growth and the growth patterns, you need the ability in a facility to be able to
grow with your community. If you build a base facility that's considered right now, we'll say it has a
*or water slide feature, you're making the money, and you want to enhance that facility in some manner, you are
going to need space. That space is going to be required for more parking, additional infastructure, such
• as maybe another water slide such or some other special feature, and that's all got to be considered. What
we're sharing with you at this point in time, those opportunities for recognizing that doesn't exist here
• at Golden Gate Community Park." Mr. Kim Kobza said, "This may not be a feasible site, and it may be at
North Naples. I really don't have a basis to agree or disagree with you there either. But, without having
some site selection criteria, and starting down the road of identifying that site, we won't really know,
and I think there is some preliminary work that we can start doing. It's not only demographics, in terms
of population, it's also the fact that North Naples, we've got a lot of water resources close to us. In
Golden Gate, we don't have the water resources as close and it serves a more regional function, and maybe
that's something to look at." Mr. Cliff Crawford, "And even recognizing that though, you know there are
• prohibiting factors. You know, I can use the other argument, saying that's really not a public... That's
extremely private. And while there are some public uses and the demand and the need is actually from even
the YMCA, is saying we need a public facility, a commercial pool, public pool, in this case Collier County,
and the location, even if it's close enough it's not going to impact us, because we're serving our private
• memberships, and you guys need to serve the public." PARAB recommended to have staff do a feasibility
study as to, the Olympic size pool, and report back to them next meeting so they in turn can make a
recommendation to the BCC. Mr. Kim Kobza said, "We have some very valid concerns, and we've got some
criteria in mind, and we need to identify how to meet those criteria and be prepared, so that when we do
have the available funding, we know what the answer is. We know, this is the site, and we've some terribly
extensive discussion, and we can be more informed. Because, if we know the site, we know what the
engineering concerns are." So PARAB asked staff to prepare a scope of services, for an RFP. Mr. Kevin
O'Donnell Suggested to go with an engineering firm for part of the project. The consultants will have to
visit each perspective site, and that's going to cost some time, the consultants are also going to have to
have at least some soil boring to find out generally what's below here, they're going to have to analyze
what facilities we've got at the site, talk to staff, etc. Some people have a perception that a pool was
promised in certain areas, and feel "are they or are they not going to get it?", and a Lot of people are
going to remember the 1981/82 plan, before Growth Management existed. Just about each park had a pool at
one point. That plan is out the window, but we're bound to get someone who says that they were promised
that. Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "At least we can get some questions raised, and the way we've developed
Golden Gate Community Park, we may have some operational problems, and we may be able to substantiate that.
You're talking on throwing another $20,000 on for a consultant, for a 2.6 million dollar project. Mr. Kim
Kobza said, "I think there's a distinction here In that this facility, based upon what Cliff said, is a
IL little more sophisticated that other things that we've tried to do. It is without a doubt going to be the
single biggest expensive Parks & Recreation project undertaken, a capital expense. It will also be the

8. POOLS REVISED (continued):
largest single annual maintenance expense that the department has. The Recreation section is going to have
people committed entirely to that pool in one way, shape or form, just because of the magnitude of it.
It's going to be the big showcase, so to speak in terms of dollars. Mr. Kevin O'Donnell said, "I had two
pools up in Illinois, it cost me a quarter of a million dollars a year, to run that three months a year.
They are going to be running down here 12 months a year." PARAB agreed on having a scope of services for
their next meeting.
