M E M O R A N D U M DATE: December 31, 1992 TO: Steve Brinkman, Director Public Services, Parks and Recreation FROM: Thomas C. Palmer, Assistant County Attorney 11: (7 RE: Conflict of Interest This Memorandum is in response to your request for legal services, attached. I enclose pages 10 through 18 of an opinion on these points. Please refer to page 12, paragraph B. Section 112 . 313 (3) , Florida Statutes (F. S. ) , pertains to "Doing Business with One's Agency, " and does not prohibit a voting member of an advisory board from being an employee of a business entity that is conducting business with Collier County. It is possible that a person who is to be appointed to an advisory board can expect to have a "continuing or frequently recurring conflict" under §112 . 313 (7) (a) ,F. S. (See page 14 of the opinion) . These are rare situations. Furthermore, assuming for the sake of argument, that a conflict of interest problem exists based on either (1) the employment relationship or (2) the "recurring conflict" problem, the Board of County Commissioners has the power to "waive" such conflicts regarding appointments only to advisory boards under §112 . 313 (12) , F.S. If this person is appointed to the advisory board, he or she will have to participate or not participate in accordance with the principles noted in Section D, "Voting Conflicts" (pages 15 through 17 of the opinion) if and when an agenda item arises that may present a conflict of interest situation. If you have any facts regarding this individual that puts him or her into a special and unusual situation, please advise. The o cafe of these cases depends on specific facts. cc 4tenneth B. Cuyler, County Attorney c ,Tom 011iff, Public Services Administrator r) w VII. CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS SITUATIONS. The following is a general discussion of requirements related to abstention from participation and/or voting in conflict of interests situations. Due to the complexity of situations that can and do arise, it is impossible to detail all possible situations without listing hundreds of detailed factual contexts. Section 286. 012, F.S. , reads in pertinent part: "Voting requirement at meetings of governmental bodies. No member of any. . .county. . .board, commission, or agency who is present at any meeting of any such body at which an official decision, ruling, or other official act is to be taken or adopted may abstain from voting in regard to any such decision, ruling, or act; and a vote shall be recorded or counted for each such member present, except when, with respect to any such member, there is, or appears to be, a possible conflict of interest under the provisions of Sec. 112 .311, Sec. 112.313, or Sec. 112.3143. In such cases, said member shall comply with the disclosure requirements of Sec. 112 . 3143" . Voting conflicts under the provisions of Sections 112 . 311, 112 . 313, or 112 . 3143 fall generally into cases where a board member (1) will be doing business with his agency (2) has a private employment or contractual relationship that conflicts with public duties, or (3) participation in a specific matter could inure to the voting member's special private gain or the special gain of a principal by whom the voting member is retained. The intent of Sections 112 .311, 112 . 313 , and/or 112 . 3143 has been interpreted by hundreds of decisions of the Florida Commission on Ethics relating to numerous and varied situations. This memorandum-opinion discusses situations generally to give a sense of when participation in a matter before a board may require the filing of a voting conflict form. There can be cases where an appointed board member, but not an elected member, will be required to declare a conflict and file a voting conflict form, but nevertheless the appointed member can participate in the matter, including voting on preliminary or procedural aspects of the case, but cannot vote on the merits (final decision) of the matter. • Because Section 286. 012 , F.S. refers to three separate sections of the Florida Statutes, each will be discussed generally as to its application to situations that may constitute a voting conflict. -10- (2) ***Public officials should not be denied the opportunity, available to all other citizens, to acquire and retain private economic interests except when conflicts with the responsibility of such officials to the public cannot be avoided. *** (5) . . . [N]o officer. . .of a county or other political subdivision of the state shall have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect; engage in any business transaction or professional activity; which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest. *** (6) . . . [P]ublic officers. . .are agents of the people and hold their positions for the benefit of the public. *** Such officers and employees are bound to observe, in their official acts, the highest standards of ethics consistent with this code and the advisory opinions rendered with respect hereto regardless of personal considerations, recognizing that promoting the public interest and maintaining the respect of the people in their government must be of foremost concern. " (Emphasis supplied) . The provisions of the Ethics Law apply to all county boards, including advisory boards31/ and in almost all cases to independent special districts.32/ The intent of the Code of Ethics is, on the one hand, to prohibit a public officer or employee from benefiting privately from his public position33/ while on the other hand, the Code is not intended that public officials should be denied basic opportunities to have private economic interests that are available to other citizens. 34/ 31/ OAG 70-155. 32/ OAG 74-169 . Narrow exception: An officer of an independent district elected on a one-acre, one-vote basis is not prohibited from voting on any matter affecting that geographical land area. (See §112 . 3143 (3) , F.S. ) 33/ Opinion of Commission on Ethics (OCE) 76-43A. 34/ For example, a city's public officer can buy a lot in his city and build a home there even though that officer's department regulated site planning, zoning, and code enforcement. (OCE 76-75) . This opportunity was available to all land owners in the city and the fact that his department regulated these activities did not deprive the officer of this generally available opportunity. -11- Section 112. 311, F.S. states the general over-all policy of the Legislature. That section has very infrequently been the statutory basis on which to find a violation of the Code of Ethics. Violations have in the vast majority of cases been based on the other prohibitions related to "doing business with one's agency, " "conflicting employment or contractual relationships, " and special private gain or gain to a retaining principal. Section 112. 311, F.S. does not provide that every conceivable conflict is a violation of the statutes; the law prohibits voting in cases of substantial conflict. " B. Doing Business With One 's Agency. Section 112. 313 (3) ,F.S. reads in pertinent part: " (1) Doing Business With One's Agency. No. . .public officer acting in his official capacity, shall either directly or indirectly purchase, rent, or lease any realty, goods, or services for his own agency from any business entity of which he or his spouse or child is an officer, partner, director, or proprietor or in which such officer. . .or his spouse or child, or any combination of them, has a material interest. Nor shall a public officer. . .acting in a private capacity, rent, lease, or sell any realty, goods, or services to his own agency, or to any political subdivision or any agency thereof, if he is serving as an officer or employee of that political subdivision. " Each voting member of a board is classified as a "public officer" and is subject to the prohibitions against voting on a matter that would result in "doing business with one's agency. " There are several exceptions to this general prohibition, which are discussed hereafter. This section, 112 . 313 (3) , does not prohibit a public officer from being an employee of a business entity that is doing business with the County.35/ The section does apply, however, if the public officer is an officer and a stockholder of an entity that is doing business with the County.36/ The prohibitions can apply to a consulting contract.12/ It has been held that when a not-for-profit corporation receives grant funds from a local governmental agency, then the not-for-profit corporation is 35/ OCE 84-8 . 36/ OCE 83-23 . 37/ OCE 82-26 . -12- "doing business with" the agency. 38/ This section, 112. 313 (3) , can apply to a situation where a spouse or child of a voting board member has a material interest in a business entity, although the spouse or child is not an officer, partner, director or proprietor of the business entity. In this context "material interest" means ownership of more than 5 per cent of the total assets or capital stock of the respective business entity. There are numerous decisions of the Ethics Commission as to when, in a specific fact situation, a conflict does or does not exist. It is difficult to generalize except to say that if a voting member is called upon to vote on an agenda item that is known to be, or appears to be, a conflict of interest between the public officer's public duties and responsibilities on the board and the officer's private capacity as an officer, partner, director, proprietor, or owner of 5 per cent or more of the assets or capital stock of the private business entity, or if the public officer's spouse or child owns 5 per cent or more of the stock or assets of the private business entity, and the vote could result in the County giving or agreeing to pay money to the business entity, or the business entity would, by such vote, agree to pay any money to the County for the purchase of any realty, goods or services, then the public officer may not participate in the matter at all and, of course, may not vote on any issues. Of course, if such a matter should pass by an affirmative vote of the board without the vote of the abstaining member, and the result of that vote creates a situation whereby the officer will be "doing business with the County, " then the public officer with such a conflict cannot continue to be a voting member of the board because of the creation of the existence of the conflict. In such an event the voting member would have to sever his relationship with either the business entity or with the board. However, if the board is advisory only, the body that appointed the member may waive the "doing business" conflict by a vote of two-thirds of the appointing body.39/ There are other limited exemptions to the "doing business" conflict situation. The first is where the business is rotated among all qualified suppliers of the goods or services in the county.111/ Another exemption is when the contract results from sealed, competitive bidding and three additional facts exist as follows: (1) neither the voting member nor his spouse or child 38/ OCEs 83-52 and 82-51. 39/ The waiver is specified in §112 . 313 (12) , F.S. In the context of Collier County, the Board of County Commissioners is usually the body that appoints members to county boards. The conflicting employment or contractual relationship prohibition contained in §112 . 313 (7) , F. S. , may also be waived. 40/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (b) , F. S. -13- participated in setting the contract specifications or in determining the award of the contract; (2) neither the voting member nor his spouse or child attempted to use influence to persuade the agency or any personnel thereof to enter into the contract other than merely submitting the bid; and (3) the voting member, before submitting the bid, files a statement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Collier County that discloses his or his spouse's or his child's interest and nature of the intended business.41/ Other exemptions are purchase or sale of advertising in a newspaper, or utility service, or for passage on a common carrier. 42/ Another exemption is when an emergency contract is needed to protect the health, safety, or welfare of citizens.43/ Another exemption exists where the business entity is the sole source of supply.AA/ Also, transactions that do not exceed $500. 00 are exempt.4/ Finally, a bank may be a depository of county funds even if a conflict might otherwise exist provided the bank has not been favored over other qualified banks. 46/ These exceptions also apply to situations of "conflicting employment or contractual relationship" discussed below in Section C. C. CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP. Subsection 7 of Section 112 .313, F.S. reads in pertinent part: "Conflicting employment or contractual relationship. (a) No public officer. . .of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of or is doing business with, an agency of which he is an officer. . .nor. . .have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his private interests and the performance of his public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his public duties. (Emphasis supplied) . 41/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (b) , F.S. 42/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (c) , F.S. . ; OCE 81-62 (utility service) . 43/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (d) , F.S. 44/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (e) , F.S. There must be full disclosure of the officer's interest in the business. 45/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (f) , F.S. 46/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (g) , F. S. ; OCE 81-41. -14- *** (b) This subsection shall not prohibit a public officer. . .from practicing in a particular profession or occupation when such practice by persons holding such public office. . . is required or permitted by law or ordinance. " (Emphasis supplied) . All exceptions noted above related to "doing business with one's agency, " also apply to conflicting employment. " Because situations involving "conflicting employment" are rare and almost always occur only in relation to elected public officials who hold substantial employment in addition to their public office, this subsection (7) will not be discussed in detail. Also in many cases the conflict is exempted because an ordinance requires or permits that the person holding an appointed position be a member of a particulary profession or hold a particular position. There are numerous decisions by the Commission on Ethics as to what form or extent of governmental regulation will subject a business entity to be "subject to the regulation of" in the context of §112 . 313 (7) (a) .?/ D. VOTING CONFLICTS. Section 112. 3143, F.S. reads in pertinent part: *** " (2) (b) No appointed public officer shall participate in any matter which inures to his special private gain or the special gain of any principal by whom he is retained, without first disclosing the nature of his interest in the matter. Such disclosure, indicating the nature of the conflict, shall be made in a written memorandum filed with the person responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting and shall be incorporated in the minutes; if the disclosure is initially made orally at a meeting attended by the officer, the written memorandum disclosing the nature of the conflict shall be filed within 15 days with the person responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting and shall be incorporated in the minutes. A copy of such memorandum, which shall become a public record upon filing, shall immediately be provided to the other members of the agency and shall be read publicly at the meeting prior to the consideration of the matter. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "participate" means any attempt to influence the decision by oral or written 47/ For example, OCEs 81-15, 81-20, 81-25, 81-35, 81-67, 81-77, 83-38, 84-1, 84-102 , 85-22, 86-62 and 87-22 . -15- communication whether made by the officer or at his direction. *** (3) No county. . . .or other local public officer shall vote in his official capacity upon any measure which inures to his special private gain or shall knowingly vote in his official capacity upon any measure which inures to the special gain of any principal, other than an agency as defined in S112 . 312 (2) , by whom he is retained. Such public officer shall, prior to the vote being taken, publicly state to the assembly the nature of his interest in the matter from which he is abstaining from voting and, within 15 days after the vote occurs, disclose the nature of his interest as a public record in a memorandum filed with the person responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting, who shall incorporate the memorandum in the minutes. However, a commissioner of a community redevelopment agency created or designated pursuant to §163 . 356 or S163 . 357 or an officer of an independent special tax district elected on a one-acre, one-vote basis is not prohibited from voting. "*** (Emphasis supplied) . These subsections pertain to a board member's active participation and to voting. Subsection (2) (b) allows appointed officers, but not elected officers, to participate up to but not including voting on the merits of a matter even when the matter, if passed by the board, will inure to the appointed voting member's special private gain or the special private gain of any principal by whom the appointed board member is retained. It must be remembered, however, that if the matter, if passed, would result in "doing business" under a competitive bid, the voting member may not advocate acceptance of the contract because then the exemption allowed for competitive bid contracts would be lost.48/ The voting member can advocate that the contract not be accepted. Subsection (3) provides that no county officer, appointed or elected, may vote upon the merits any measure which inures to the voting member's private gain or the special gain of any principal by whom he or she is retained. "Special private gain" means, generally, gain that is not also experienced by others. If a rather large group may benefit from the matter, then there is no conflict.4/ Gain to a spouse can be "private gain" to the voting 48/ Sec. 112 . 313 (12) (b) (2) prohibits a voting board member, his spouse or child, from use of any of their influence to persuade others to enter into such a contract. 49/ OCEs 85-42, 75-52 , and 85-5. -16- member.50/ The gain must be direct, not remote. 51/ In this context "retained" means, generally, paid as an "employee" or paid as an independent contractor. If the voting member is not "retained" the prohibition does not apply.11/ The prohibitions against participation and voting do not pertain to voting members of a community redevelopment agency or to a particular type of special tax district that is specified in the statute but that does not now exist in Collier County. It is not a voting conflict to vote on a matter that may inure to the special private gain of a partner of the voting member where the partnership's interests and the officer's personal interests are not involved. 53/ The text of Sec. 112 . 3143 F.S. , clearly specifies the prerequisite acts of disclosure vis-a-vis other board members that are required, which disclosure must be made prior to any participation by the voting member in a conflict matter where the member can vote, and in the cases where the member may participate, but cannot vote. The Form that may be utilized to file the conflict is Form 8B, published by the Florida Commission on Ethics. A copy of the form is attached hereto as exhibit "A". Blank copies of this form may be obtained from the office of the County Manager. The Form must be filed even if the voting member is absent from a meeting when a voting conflict case (as to the absent member) was voted upon by those members who were present.54/ D. QUORUM. When a voting member of a body abstains from voting because of a conflict of interest, the quorum is reduced to those remaining voting members present.55/ The affirmative vote of the reduced quorum is required for the adoption of any matter which 50/ OCEs 83-59, 83-29, 82-65, 85-42, 80-84, and 77-57. 51/ OCEs 85-77, 85-62, 85-54 , and 86-44 . 52/ OCEs 84-50, 83-93, 85-20, 85-17, and 81-79 . Uncompensated membership or officership is not being "retained. " 53/ OCEs 81-8 , 79-33 , and 78-58 . 54/ OCE 74-77 . 55/ AGO 85-40 . -17- • properly comes before the board at such meeting.56/ For example, if a body is composed of five members and two members must abstain because of a voting conflict, then the quorum is reduced to three members. it would then require an affirmative vote of at least 2 of the 3 members of the quorum to affirmatively act on any matter before the board.57/ The abstention from voting can have the effect of preventing the board for acting on the item where the conflict exists because of absence of a quorum. If so, the law still prohibits the vote; There is no exceptioh.58/ 56/ AGO 75-158 . 57/ Exception: Passage of an emergency ordinance of a five member County Commission always requires 4 affirmative votes for effective passage. S125. 66 (3) ,F.S. 58/ AGO 86-61. -18- -EXECUTIVE SUMMARY- RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ACCEPT A DEED FOR 6.8 ACRES OF PROPERTY IN IMMOKALEE DEVELOPED WITH ONE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD, ONE BABE RUTH FIELD, A CONCESSION/RESTROOM BUILDING AND AUTHORIZE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE $10,375 FOR RENOVATIONS OBJECTIVE: To provide a safe, maintained recreational facility for use by the Immokalee Little League and the County Parks and Recreation Department and add value to the Parks Capital Inventory. CONSIDERATIONS: The Immokalee Little League approached the County with a proposal to donate the League's existing fields to the County. In return the League requests that the facility be maintained by the Parks Department and that they have scheduling authority for field use. The Real Properties Department has visited the site and has placed a value estimate of $40, 000 on the property and improvements. The Environmental Services staff has conducted a review of the site and indicates no issues which would hinder the County's acceptance and continued use. (:) The Department with the County Attorney's Office has prepared the attached Deed documents. The Parks Department has reviewed the site and prepared an estimate of $10, 375 to upgrade it to playable condition. The cost includes sod, clay, irrigation and labor. Annual on-going costs to maintain the site are estimated to be $7, 640. FISCAL IMPACT: The immediate costs are those associated with renovation of the site. A budget amendment of $10, 375 will be required from General Fund (001) Reserves. On-going costs will be funded from the Unincorporated General Fund (111) . GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The value of the property and improvements will be added to the Parks and Recreation inventory. The remaining deficit which needed to be funded from non-Ad Valorem sources at the end of this fiscal year would be $1, 044 , 300 assuming all Fund 306 projects are under contract by years end. This deficit amount could be reduced by $200, 000 by this action reducing the FY 93-94 Fund 306 allocation.

OBJECTIVE: To present the Board of County Commissioners a report on the proposed neighborhood park to be located in Golden Gate Estates as directed by the Board on November 10, 1992. CONSIDERATION: At the November 10, 1992 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, approved the following: 1. Retain ownership of the fifty-six (56) acre tract already owned by Collier County (GAC Land Trust) for purposes of providing the Estates with a recreational facility that may include a community/regional park sometime in the future. 2. Pursue the purchase of the Moose Lodge property (2.65 acres) under the terms and conditions of the previously attached Agreement of Sale and Purchase in order to provide a library facility in the Estates area. 3. To direct staff to inspect the following properties as to any environmental concerns and provide a report as to the usable acreage and amenities which may be located upon the sites. The sites under consideration are as follows: Owner: William and Jane Carter Owner: Michael Mastro Unit 13, The North 180 feet of Tract 52 Unit 13, All of Tracts 53 and 54 Acreage: 2.73 acres Acreage: 10.30 acres Agreement Amount: $18,700.50 Agreement Amount: $70,555.00 In-House Market Analysis: $18,700.50 In-House Market Analysis: $70,555.00 staff's report is found acceptable to the Board of County Commissioners, the site would be purchased based upon the terms and conditions of the attached Agreements of Sale and Purchase for the 13.03 acres located near the vicinity of Golden Gate and Wilson Boulevards (Unit 13) in order to provide a neighborhood park in the Estates area. Pursuant to Board direction of November 10, 1992, staff from the Environmental Services Division, Real Property Management Department and the Parks and Recreation Department physically inspected the 13.03 proposed neighborhood park site. The results of that inspection concluded that an additional inspection by the Army Corps of Engineers was needed. That inspection was completed and is attached. It shows the site is suitable for a park with some restrictions. The Collier County Parks and Recreation Department therefore may develop approximately 6 to 7 acres for purposes of constructing a neighborhood park. Facilities may include the following: parking, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball, racquetball, playground, picnic areas, trail system, baseball/softball field and soccer/football field. A preliminary layout of the site is attached for your reference. FISCAL IMPACT: Land costs and related closing costs not to exceed $90,000 for the total 13.03 acres. Any and all land costs would be withdrawn directly from Fund 605. Funds for the construction of the neighborhood park facility shall be withdrawn from Community Park Impact Fees. There is $533,000 budgeted in the current FY 1992/93 for development at this site and $798,000 earmarked in FY 1993/94. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The community park site will help us to meet a number of Growth Management needs and specific park needs in the Estates area. The site is not large enough -Nr lighted athletic fields so those will be added at the future sports complex. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is requesting the Board of County Commissioners approve the appropriate Agreement(s) of Sale and Purchase necessary for the purchase of the above described properties and authorize its Chairman to execute same and provide for staff to proceed with the proper closing and recording of required documentation (waiving those requirements of Florida Statute Section 125.355 (1) (b)) . In addition to approve any and all necessary budget amendments to transfer funds from 605 Reserves to the appropriate object codes within 605-122390.

Gee & Jenson; 2 . Design Studios West 3 . Wolfson, Miller, Barton & Peek 4. Angoli, Barber, Brundage. Though the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board decided that Vin and I would make this recommendation on behalf of the entire Board at the last meeting, it is our desire to present the results of our review of the proposals . to the full Board for their input. If delaying the presentation of our selection would not hinder the selection process we would appreciate it if you could hold off on presenting our decision until after the August Board meeting. burden upon the selection However, if this would cause any undue ,,,,dl ,.Via procedure, please feel free to present our decision to the Selection Committee as set forth in this letter. Very truly yours, 111011416 Jo- - • D. ak JDZ/vbd Enclosures l:brinkman.jdz Changes made this time in FM Plan itself. Very minimal - Goals, Objectives, 9 yam", Policies made change in facility cost from $122 to 168 per capita. Old value per unit cost established couple years ago, construction cost has changed substantially and have modified those from $122 to $168. Done by increasing cost of various facilities - unit value is basically pulled from those costs getting for the Vineyards. Also added Construction cost Index so that if next year we go back and feel that $168 with a 3% increase for construction cost is applicable we will not have to change the formula. If costs increase more will have to change the per unit value again. CCI is used to account for cost increases per year in certain areas of the budget by County. Different factors are used to determine inflation factor - we will use CCI established by the County. The standards were established back in 1989 - GM Plan purposes created something that would be a reachable standard over a five year period. Based on 5 yr. CIE plan. In these standards create a reachable one. The ideal standards that Collier County may want to establish may be different than the five year standards are. National Standards that are long term - within 15 or 20 years - would be ideal standards that appear on other page. NRPA put these standards out as minimal standards, research your own community and then either lower or raise standards as established. That is what has been done to some extent for GM plan. Have problem of trying to identify 2 sets of standards. Been dealing with set of standards that has been dictated by GM Plan, so living with 5 year standard. Would be nice to consider long term standard - a goal 15, 20 R period - and those standards may be based on national standards and the standards that are established for GM would be done and reviewed every year. Every year has been for a 5 year plan. some facilities are added, eliminated, so it is always a change - again in looking at standards for Collier County it would be nice to consider standards for GM as well as long term purposes. Tough in 5 year period to modify the 5 yr. plan without knowing what you would like to see Collier County be 20 years from now. We should start working on a piece at a time - 5 yr. increments. Consider at next meeting looking at revising GM standards for next year and establishing an ideal standard for Collier County. Even that would be updated every 5 years. Added some different standards so you can see what an increase in standards to value per capita. Two additional scenarios show - using typical community park and costs as ideal list of facilities - acreage associated with that tract of land - 50 acres, lake, and try to not have to develop the entire tract of land. Leave some natural or open. as far as the needs of different groups in each of those areas - so Other factors in guidelines - consider population, 25,000 people vary - interests, age groups, ethnic, considerations. Each different area is unique from other. Certain things in parks would be typical from park to park but other things established by community surveys that will establish special needs in the area. Do some research through these surveys to see what is needed in the South Naples Park. Will give you interests and also age groups, income levels, and that sort of thing on the survey. By adopting this as a standard for all our community parks this would actually be a great deal higher standard wise than we are today. The tennis center was secured as a part of this park - so the center and this park are part of the Marco park. Typical park would cause an increase in value per capita. Each park area - also varies - is about a half mile to 2 mile radius. The $168 in effect this year - even though we have increased construction cost values, we are still not getting the full value in impact fees to help pay for these future facilities. Example - So. Naples - right now impact fees for that park and other parks building now - Vineyards and Estates - do not have a lot of cost built a lot of cost that are in construction cost that you do not find in that you do not see listed here - but a lot of our parks have lakes in them. In future Natural resource restrictions probably all parks will have lakes. Right there we are forced to build lake but no impact fee dollars. sports Center running $200,000 - restrooms, storage, concession area for soccer group - that is a facility that is not listed in here so we are not getting credit. Other facilities as well because they have not been added to the list. Did not want us to change standards this year, but wanted us to go through this, add some, knock out some, change standard to 1,000 people we felt necessary and then come back next year through the Growth Management and either add all those or another option - if we added all in - value at $337 - turn to next page might be a new way to show this which would allow us to do this. Just list a community park as we have for all other regional areas so we would have Use same list, add to it or combine everything that is community park cost and put it in one figure. City residents included in population figures - also consider influx of seasonal visitors. Other Governmental refers to school and City of Naples. List of all our projects that are scheduled for this year and the next five years. Some population increases and facilities decrease. $122 per capita boat ramps listed 29.9, 181,289; 168 population increases boat ramps decreased. I am not sure - looks strange - have to check, same standard, should be increasing. Have to recalculate. We can set them at what Board wishes to. Read this and if have any questions give me a call. Growth Management representative next meeting and use as a springboard to come up with new standards and then revise current so come up with something more realistic and receive proper amount of impact fees. Pool figures need to be looked at. .
