Development Proposal DRAFT - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE Contact: Adrienne Skolnick 555 Park Shore Dr. - #413 Naples, FL 33940 (813) 649-7595 C 4 , The Proposal: to fund the progress and projections of the Gulf Coast Rowing Association, Inc. The Purpose: Rowing for US The organization, Gulf Coast Rowing Association, Inc. (GCRA), a not-for-profit Florida corporation which has applied to the Internal Revenue Service for 501(c)3 status, proposes to bring the fast-growing recreational and competitive sport of rowing in sliding-seat watercraft to a broad spectrum of the equally fast-growing population of Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties. GCRA will service member affiliates and their constituencies through a unique arrangement in which facilities, equipment and instruction/training will be available to and shared equally by all. Such cost-sharing will bring the rowing experience, often prohibitively expensive for small groups and individuals, within reach. The Picture: USRowing is growing...and changing USRowing, the national organization which oversees, coordinates and encourages recreational and competitive activities from local rowing clubs to the United States National Team in world-class racing has grown by record numbers in individual and group membership in the past ten years. What it was What it is and is becoming Competitive Competitive / Recreational Male Male / Female Local / Regional National Private / Elite Broad-based / Community-sponsored Homogeneous Diverse / Multicultural Limited physical/social access through Extended accessibility for organized athletic/cultural channels for excluded/disadvantaged/special selected populations populations Short-term intense athletic experience Life-long exercise Rowing encompasses the opportunity for individual excellence, ultimate teamwork and non-impact exercise benefits which are superior to any other active sport. Rowing is uniquely positioned to replicate in its changing structure and population the same kinds of social and economic changes being experienced in Southwest Florida; we can grow together adding the same uniqueness to our area that causes Fortune 500 companies to use the rowing image for internal corporate communication and television commercials, and major U.S. and European cities to prominently feature rowing scenes on their tourism and convention brochures. Gulf Coast Rowing Association,Inc.Funding Proposal DRAFT December 3,1994 1 The Plan: Who is US, and how do WE participate GCRA has created a simultaneous three-track plan in Collier County which will open rowing opportunities for as many persons as quickly as funding support will allow. Using its Collier County developments as prototypes, GCRA will pursue similar goals in Lee and Charlotte Counties. Track 1 - immediate and long-range selection and development of rowing venues The establishment of rowing centers for the general public is first and foremost. In that regard, site selection is critical, and it is equally critical to choose sites which will service the member affiliates and the public at large in different ways, providing the blend of competitive and recreational activities that is compatible with the unique characteristics of each site. GCRA has reached tentative agreement with the Collier County Department of Parks and Recreation to coordinate and administer an ongoing program of rowing instruction and individual and team skills development for small-boat (singles and doubles) rowing and instruction at a public site in Collier County near the Lee County line and at a rowing site near the Isles of Capri for larger boats (fours and eights). GCRA has reached tentative agreement with owners of private property in Naples to create a rowing site for singles and doubles for one or more community-oriented private organizations intent on providing recreational and competitive experiences for members. Long-range considerations for venues include sites on Naples Bay, Little Hickory Bay and Estero Bay. Additional sites are under long-range consideration as possible dual-purpose operations for activities closely allied with rowing such as kayaking or canoeing. Track 2 - immediate public and private recreational and competitive opportunities: At each rowing site, GCRA will provide instruction and training by USRowing certified instructors designed for individuals of all ages and teams desirous of competing in the numerous racing opportunities offered each year in Florida and other national and international venues. Specifically: • GCRA will conduct a program of continuing public rowing instruction and development for the Collier County Department of Parks and Recreation, projected currently to begin in the summer of 1995 with programs for youth and adult learners. Gulf Coast Rowing Association,Inc.Funding Proposal DRAFT December 3,1994 2 • GCRA will present a collaborative program for high school students to the Collier County Public Schools, Athletic Directors of all Collier County high schools and to the administrators of private secondary schools in the Collier County area. The program will target opportunities which competitive rowing provides at the post-secondary level, as well as the formation of crews from single schools or a countywide inter-school crew. • GCRA will present a collaborative program for college students to the administrations of Edison Community College, Florida Gulf Coast University and to the administrators of private post-secondary institutions in the Collier County area. The program will focus on competitive rowing as a club or varsity sport which will allow these institutions a prestigious access to the crowded post-secondary athletic scene. • GCRA will encourage individuals and teams from the public and private sector to become competitors and will sponsor their entries in events which are available for age groups from adolescence to seniority. Track 3: immediate promotion of rowing events: GCRA will provide interesting spectator events for the general public and will create and sponsor regattas and rowing activities such as touring which will have strong appeal for visitors from European areas with strong rowing traditions. GCRA will spotlight Southwest Florida for the rest of the state, region, country and world as an emerging and energetic new center for the sport. IThe Price: What will it cost US To pursue its Vision, accomplish its Mission and meet its Goals, GCRA has embarked on an ambitious program of fund-raising and collaboration with public and private entities. This proposal outlines the immediate need for $ 3,900 in funds and in-kind contributions to operationalize the developmental first phase of a future activities plan and the GCRA infrastructure. It also projects start-up costs of $225,000 associated with operationalizing at least two rowing sites. It is anticipated that fees from member affiliates and organizations using the services, facilities or equipment provided by GCRA will reduce operating expenses after the first year. Instruction and coaching offered to private groups could become a significant source of continuing revenue, both for member affiliates and GCRA. It will be necessary, however, to seek continued funding streams from the public and private sectors in order to ensure the viability of GCRA as an entity which genuinely serves all citizens of our area. Capitalization costs are significant for start-up equipment and facilities before services can begin to be offered. Gulf Coast Rowing Association,Inc.Funding Proposal DRAFT December 3,1994 3 Year One Start-Up Costs to Capitalize and Operationalize GCRA GCRA Operationalization Expenses: $ 3,900.00 Not-for-profit incorporation $ 200.00 (funded) IRS Filing for 501(c)3 status 200.00 (funded) USRowing (national association) Membership 225.00 USRowing Insurance: Liability 310.00 Wrongful Acts (Errors/Omissions) 2,200.00 Equipment (Existing) 500.00 Office, printing, telephone 665.00 Site Development and Capitalization Expenses: $ 145,000.00 Water access/floating docks/boat storage $55,000.00 Equipment: 15 single recreational rowing boats (shells) 30,000.00 10 double recreational rowing boats (shells) 30.000.00 5 adaptive rowing singles 10,000.00 Safety Launch/Equipment, Oars, Accessories 20,000.00 Operationalization Expenses: $ 80,000.00 Insurance: Additional Liability $ 2,000.00 Indemnification of Board/Staff 2,000.00 Structures/Property 1,000.00 Additional Equipment 25,000.00 Operations Director/Coach 25,000.00 Additional Instructors 10,000.00 Leases/Permits/Fees 3,000.00 Office/Printing/Telephone 4,000.00 Administration/Board 4,000.00 Development/Recruitment/Publicity 4,000.00 Gulf Coast Rowing Association,Inc.Funding Proposal DRAFT December 3,1994 4 IThe People: Who will lead US GCRA has empowered an organizing committee composed of rowers with experience at national and international levels of rowing and coaching and previous work with local rowing clubs and associations and private/public sector persons with knowledge of the Southwest Florida community. That group has been charged with the identification and selection of a Board of Directors and an Advisory Panel which will guide GCRA and ensure representation in GCRA activities of all shareholders in the future of our community. The Product: What and where will this get US Through collaboration, the GCRA will serve a diverse community population, including special needs, with recreational services together with training and competitive experiences for the furtherance of amateur athletics Accomplishments in the first year of GCRA's operation might include: 1. The best organization development experience an area banking corporation has ever had for members of its branch management team. 2. The initial steps for competitive athletic offerings which will add measurably to the uniqueness of the programs offered by local high schools and regional post- secondary institutions. 3. A new lease on healthy exercise for a mature resident recovering from a cardiac condition or unable to engage in impact activities, a physically-challenged or mobility-impaired individual of any age or someone who has been captivated by the grace and fluid power of the sport as they watched it on a river or lake in some other city of the U.S. 4. More than 200 people of all ages and backgrounds who have been trained and who now are able to enjoy rowing through the use of community facilities and equipment. Accomplishments in the first five years might include: 1. A Collier County Public Schools men's or women's crew, made up of students from all Collier high schools, which travels to a regatta to compete - and wins! 2. A men's or women's Masters (seniors) crew which travels to the annual U.S. Master's Regatta to compete - and wins! Gulf Coast Rowing Association,Inc.Funding Proposal DRAFT December 3,1994 5 3. Regattas on the Gordon River, Venetian Bay, Naples Bay, Johnson Bay, Little Hickory Bay or Estero Bay which include corporate and community crews from the local area - everyone wins! 4. Enhanced opportunities of post-secondary admission and tuition assistance at more than 170 colleges and universities for a high-schooler looking for an alternate athletic route. 5. A new way for a lightweight youngster of small stature to be at the heart of an athletic competition as a coxswain for a four or eight-person crew, or for youngsters who are alienated or disenchanted with our society to experience the power of teamwork to outdistance social barriers associated with cultural diversity. Accomplishments in the first ten years might include: 1. A men's or women's crew from Florida Gulf Coast University, practicing on an olympic-style rowing course created at their campus, competing at intercollegiate regattas against the University of Miami, University of Tampa, Florida Institute of Technology and others - and winning! 2. Sponsorship of an inter-collegiate regatta and spring-training events by Florida Gulf Coast University at a rowing venue created on their campus for schools from the Ivy League and other traditional rowing centers. 3. A Southwest Florida Rowing Series with regular club competitions between rowing groups in Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and others. 4. The establishment of Southwest Florida as a development center for United States National Team aspirants with their eyes on winning the Pan Am Games, World Rowing Championships and the Olympics. 5. Recognition of Southwest Florida as a leader in the development of opportunities for special needs populations in their quest for participation and success in Special Olympics and other similar programs. 6. A well-grounded and productive Gulf Coast Rowing Association which, through private and public sector participation, commercially-sponsored events and public participation, is able to bring an exciting and healthy new athletic option to thousands in our area.

Park, we would be interested discussinc, with you ways that our Department might try and use that type of operation. One potential recreational use would be as a specialized summer camp location for rowing and canoeing. A second might be as a field trip location for our summer camp programs where children could sign up and be bussed to the site for rowing/canoeing demonstrations. Unfortunately at this time our budget does not have additional funds that could be allocated for any improvements such as a boat storage facility or boats. We do feel that your group's interest in promoting the sport through educational programs at the Cocohatchee site would be a tremendous idea due to the excellent system of bays in that immediate area. • If possible, we would recommend another discussion with the Park Board to see if they have any suggestiois on your proposal . • Sincerely, (gu Steve Brinkman Parks and Recreation Director SB/bj/12616 H Coe GULF COAST ROWING ASSOCIATION (GCRA) PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD PRESENTATION DECEMBER 14, 1994 PURPOSE 1 ) TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM THE ADVISORY BOARD FOR USE OF SPECIFIC ROWING SITES, IDENTIFIED BY GCRA AS SUITABLE LOCATIONS FOR ROWING CENTERS. 2) TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO ADOPT AND DEVELOP ROWING PROGRAMS FOR 14 YEAR OLDS UP TO SENIOR CITIZENS. 3) FOR THE ADVISORY BOARD TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO GRANT APPROVALS FOR ROWING SITES AND ADOPT ROWING PROGRAMS FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.

One purpose of the annual survey is to discover attitudes and opinions of residents on a variety of issues likely to require government action during the County's 1994-1995 Fiscal Year. Another purpose is to discover any attitude changes from year to year concerning a variety of issues. A third purpose is to identify significant trends and trend changes that may indicate a need for amending plans of action. The Board of County Commissioners has established the voter survey as a means of identifying the views of local citizens in respect to various issues, and to assess their opinions regarding the overall effectiveness of Collier County government. Edison Community College's Institute of Government was engaged by the County Commission to oversee the annual survey. The Institute employed the Naples research firm of Fraser & Mohlke Associates, Inc. to conduct the survey. Fraser & Mohlke was responsible for questionnaire design and sampling; development of interviewer instructions; preparation of study questionnaires; Ccoordination of interviewers; research administration; and the tabulation and reporting of survey findings. The League of Women Voters of Collier County conducted the telephone interviews. This is the seventh year that members of the League of Women Voters have contributed to the successful completion of the telephone survey. Without the capable assistance of the League, the survey could not have been conducted in an affordable and timely manner. The County again acknowledges the League's demonstration of interest in county-wide issues and its consistent work to discover community attitudes toward these issues. The seventh annual survey employs a structured random sample of registered voters composed only of those who voted at their precinct polling places during the November, 1992 general election and new voters registered since the last general election. The Supervisor of Elections' Office cooperated fully in the development of the sampling plan and provided the names of 1350 active voters who met the sample-design requirements. b SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 3 The survey's research objective was to complete interviews with 50 County residents from each Commission District or a total of 250 respondents. In fact, a total of 290 interviews were successfully completed, an average of about 58 voters for each District. Voters interviewed were cooperative and provided thoughtful responses to survey questions. In planning for the future needs of local residents, the Office of the County Manager identified "issues" that it deemed important in determining how citizens assess the effectiveness of general-purpose government in Collier County. Fraser & Mohlke then derived questions from these identified issues. Questioning generally took the form of a series of statements. Those interviewed were asked to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with, or had no opinion about each statement or whether they were satisfied, dissatisfied with or neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with certain services provided by County government. RESEARCH METHODS Six (6) previous citizen surveys conducted in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 were evaluated and matters deemed important in assessing the effectiveness of general-purpose government in Collier County in each of those years were identified by departmental administrators. The 1994 survey continues the basic questionnaire format established in 1989, incorporating new questions, rewording questions as appropriate regarding current and past issues and decisions, and deleting some questions no longer relevant or thought to have been sufficiently answered through the reported findings of previous surveys. In 1994, the survey instrument was significantly shortened because it was determined that many of the questions asked in previous years had generated responses that were more or less consistent from year to year, 1989 through 1993. New questions were then added according to the information needs of Collier County general-purpose government. Six (6 ) broad areas were included for questioning in 1994 as follows: SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 4 I. Evaluation Of Existing Conditions: Appearance of local neighborhoods and shopping areas (Ques. 8a.). Road and highway maintenance (Ques. 8b.).

In addition, a brief series of demographic questions were included, as in past years, in order to discover the respondent's age; marital status; tenure of residence; previous residence location; and whether the previous residence was in Collier County, Lee County, elsewhere in Florida, or elsewhere in the United States. Size of household and age of household members; employment status; type of residence; and level of formal education are the other demographic questions. Throughout the interview, no deliberate effort was made to differentiate among County Manager agencies and departments, the activities of the Board of County Commissioners, and/or County Constitutional Officers in inquiring about County government services. Questions were placed randomly to avoid any likelihood of "order bias" or the alphabetical grouping of subject matter that might influence the responses of those interviewed. A facsimile of the Collier County Telephone Survey questionnaire is included in the APPENDIX to this report. Also included in the APPENDIX is a section devoted to the design of the survey sample and a matrix describing statistical confidence ranges that may assist the reader in interpreting survey findings. RESEARCH ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES The tabulation of survey findings and the creation of separate tables sum- marizing the findings utilizes a multi-file, relational database program named "4th Dimension" designed for the Macintosh family of Apple computers. As a means of illustrating the wide acceptance of this program, the Collier County Public Library employs the computer hardware and programming required to utilize the "4th Dimension" database.

Tables are grouped in the exact order the questions were asked. Findings are reported according to the U.S. Postal ZIP Code area for the residence of each person responding to the questionnaire and according to respondents' tenure in their present residence. A U.S. Postal ZIP Code map is provided on the facing page that describes all the geographic areas of Collier County. Table I identifies each ZIP Code area for respondents interviewed: TABLE f Postal ZIP Code Area Number Of Percent Of Of Voters Interviewed Respondents Total (33925 to 33999) (N=290) (100.00%) 33925, 33926, 33929, & 33943 11 3.79% Chokoloskee (33925) Copeland (33926) Everglades City (33929) Monroe Station (33943) 33934 18 6.22% Immokalee 33933 & 33937 27 9.31% Goodland (33933) Marco Island (33937) 33940 46 15.86% City of Naples High point Twin Lakes-Westgate 33942 52 17.93% North Naples east of Goodlette-Frank Road Airport-Pulling Road corridor north of Davis Blvd. 33961 & 33964 21 7.24% Golden Gate Rural Estates east of County Road 951 Golden Gate Urban Estates 33962 42 14.48% East Naples South Naples 33963 39 13.45% North Naples west of the Goodlette-Frank Road Extension 33999 34 11.72% Golden Gate City Golden Gate Estates west of County Road 951 TOTAL 290 100.00% mar SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 7 The beginning of the APPENDIX includes an analysis of each ZIP Code area in respect to demographic characteristics, previously discussed, of all persons interviewed. Reporting of the gender and political party affiliation of those interviewed is not included in the analysis. Household income was not asked. As in previous surveys, tables have been designed to reflect postal zip code areas cross-referenced with tenure at address. Tenure is employed in order to discover similarities and differences between those who have moved to Collier County recently and those who have lived at their present address for a longer tittle. Reported residential tenure has been expanded to reflect a full five-year period of 1990 to 1994. Other categories reflecting longer-tenured residents, are also reported for five-year periods: 1985 to 1989, 1980 to 1984, 1975 to 1979, 1970 to 1974, 1965 to 1969, and from 1960 to 1964. Those reporting residence earlier than 1960 were grouped into one category. ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS The last five (5) annual citizens surveys have demonstrated that a large percentage of respondents had moved to their present address since 1985. In 1994, nearly two out of three persons interviewed had moved to their present address since 1985. A total of 61 percent, or 177 of the respondents in the voter households included in the entire study sample of 290 responding voters had moved to their present residence during the nine-year period of 1985 to 1994. The 1994 tables demonstrate that 80 of the 290 voters interviewed, or 28 percent of the respondents, had moved to their present address during the period from 1990 to 1994. The 1994 findings continue to demonstrate the high mobility of its 290-person respondent population. Table II-A and Table II-B demonstrate the "Tenure At Address" arld previous residence of those interviewed: 3 ° SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 8 TABLE II-A Tenure At Address Number Of Percent of (1930-1994) Interviewees Total From 1990 to 1994 80 27.6% From 1985 to 1989 97 33.5% From 1980 to 1984 52 17.9% From 1975 to 1979 25 8.6% From 1930 to 1974 36 12.4% Table II-B indicates the location of the 290 responding-voters' previous residence. The table demonstrates that the largest group of respondents, two out of three, came from somewhere outside of Florida. TABLE II-B Previous Residence Percentage Collier County 23.4% Lee County 1.0% Elsewhere in Florida 9.0% Elsewhere in the U.S. 66.6% These tables indicate, as found in previous studies, that a large portion, 61.1 percent or nearly two out of three responders have moved to their present address since 1985 and that over two out of three had a previous residence outside Florida. Given these residential-tenure considerations, it may bear repeating that all voters interviewed in the 1994 survey voted in person in their local precincts at the time of the last general election. The 1991 and 1992 telephone surveys included respondents who voted in person and as absentees. When absentees are included in the sample, the average tenure of residence is shorter, but the general outcome of the research remains fundamentally unaltered. • SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 9 Evaluation Of Existing Conditions (Questions 8a.-80.) As indicated earlier in this report, several new questions have been added and several previous questions have been deleted. In this section, eight (8 ) of the questions are the same as in previous years and seven (7 ) new questions have been added. In regard to the eight (8) questions asked in previous years, persons interviewed in 1994 continue to be impressed with: Overall appearance of local neighborhoods and shopping areas, with 90-percent satisfaction, and with Trash and garbage collection, with over 90-percent satisfaction. Water pressure to residences remains essentially the same with an 88-percent level of satisfaction. In the last three years, general concern about traffic signalization has been mitigated. In 1992, nearly two of five responders were concerned about traffic signals keeping cars moving fairly well. In 1993, the percent disagreeing declined to 35 percent. In 1994, those disagreeing declined to 28 percent or a little over one in four. Satisfaction levels with traffic signalization have improved notably since 1993 in East Naples; in the area east of Goodlette Road and south and east along the Davis Boulevard corridor; and on Marco Island and Goodland. Those living in Golden Gate exhibited the most concern, where more than two of five expressing dissatisfaction with area traffic signalization. Overall satisfaction with road maintenance has remained very consistent, 77 percent satisfied in 1993 compared with 76 percent in 1992, and 74 percent in 1994. Those living in Golden Gate Urban Estates and Golden Gate Rural Estates east of County Road 951 and in northern coastal Collier County report the most satisfaction with road maintenance. In 1994, residents of ZIP-code-area 33940 exhibited the most concern, with nearly a third expressing dissatisfaction with road maintenance. Separation and recycling of trash, a new topic first asked about in 1991, found a high level of voter agreement that the program was working well with more than two-thirds indicating satisfaction each of the last three years. The - northern coastal area respondents [ZIP 33963] indicated the least satisfaction with a little over half agreeing, while one in six disagreed; however, one-third of the .r residents of that area expressed no opinion. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 10 Whereas in 1993, three of four (75 percent) indicated satisfaction with surface water drainage, in 1994 that number declined to two of three (66 percent). Respondents from Everglades City, as in 1993, and Immokalee, and Marco Island indicated the most problems with surface water drainage, while those in East and South Naples, the northern coastal area, and Golden Gate City and the Rural and Urban Estates indicated fewer drainage concerns. More respondents were concerned about the sufficiency of potable water in 1994 than in 1993. In 1993, a little over half agreed that the area's potable water supply was sufficient, whereas in 1994, less than half(44 percent) agreed. Overall, the degree-of-satisfaction hierarchy is very much the same in 1992, 1993 and 1994. The greatest degree of expressed concern of responding voters focuses first on surface water drainage where nearly one in three disagree that it works well near their home and on potable water needs where more than one in four expressed disagreement that the County has enough water to meet local needs. Table III-A demonstrates 1994 responses to satisfaction with existing conditions in Collier County. TABLE 111-A RANK AGREE DISAGREE NA/DK 1.

SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 11 A year-to-year comparison of those responding to questions concerning "existing conditions" demonstrates a gradual and significant rise in satisfaction concerning the maintenance of roads and highways in Collier County, from 65 percent in 1989 to 76 percent in 1993, an improvement of 11 percent, and is at 74 percent in 1994. Presumably, this continued satisfaction is related to the effort that has gone into a planned county-road program, including: collector-road improvements; turn-lane, drainage, and intersection improvements; lighting enhancements; improved signalization, and an expanded program of median landscaping.

A comparison of the levels of agreement found in the 1989 through 1993 studies with 1994 study findings continues to demonstrate a remarkable continuity and consistency of findings for six (6) years. Except for water-related matters, the hierarchy of "agreeableness" reported in Table III-A has been close to identical, survey to survey. • SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 12 The consistency of findings in this six-year study provides a reasonable level of confidence in the research methodology and sampling designs employed since 1989. It is worth noting that the total of 1642 registered voters interviewed during the period 1989-1994 is an unduplicated count; none of the 1642 respondents in the six surveys administered by Fraser & Mohlke was interviewed more than one time. Evaluation of Existing Conditions: New Questions in 1994 The County Manager's Office and Fraser & Mohlke inquired of county department heads concerning their desire to learn the public's opinion regarding subjects pertinent to their departments. Seven of those subjects fell within the realm of existing conditions. They were formulated into questions and added to the survey instrument. New subjects include another bridge over the Gordon River; sufficiency of parks, recreation areas, beach accesses, public golf courses and sports fields and courts; acreage saved from development to preserve the natural environment; and the efficiency and effectiveness of the county court system. Nearly two of three persons believe it necessary to add another east-west corridor including another bridge over the Gordon River while one in six disagreed (15 percent) and just over one in five had no opinion (22 percent). Those with the most objections were from East and South Naples where one in five (21 percent) disagreed and from the Marco Island/Goodland area where one in five (22 percent) disagreed; however, 30 percent from Marco/Goodland, mainly those with nine-or-less-years' tenure at their present address, had no opinion. The noted level of disagreement among those from the Marco/Goodland and East and South Naples area may be an expression of other priorities. It may be that a notable number of residents of these areas believe that roadway problems near them need to be addressed before another bridge should be constructed. Nearly half of the respondents from the Rural and Urban Estates expressed no opinion (48 percent), the area with the highest no-opinion response . The area where the most agreement was expressed was in the area immediately west of the Gordon River [ZIP 33940] where 72 percent agreed. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 13 In November, 1989, and appearing in the 1990 City of Naples public opinion study conducted by Fraser & Mohike, the question, "A new bridge to alleviate east-west traffic congestion is needed to span over the Gordon River" was asked. At that time, 79 percent of City of Naples respondents agreed, a difference of but seven percent in five (5) years. Over half agreed that Collier County has enough parks and recreational areas to meet the needs of residents and visitors, while nearly one in three disagreed. Areas of highest agreement were in Marco Island/Goodland (78 percent) and East and South Naples (67 percent). The highest levels of disagreement were expressed in Immokalee, Golden Gate City, and the Rural Estates east of 951. More than half of the respondents (53 percent) agree with the question concerning the sufficiency of public golf courses. The areas of highest disagreement were in northern coastal Collier County, and in North Naples east of Goodlette-Frank Road and along the Davis Boulevard corridor. The areas of highest agreement were in Marco Island/Goodland and East and South Naples. While 37 percent agreed that Collier County has enough softball, soccer, and baseball fields and basketball courts, one in five disagreed, and more than two in five expressed no opinion. This is not surprising, since a large portion of the respondents were over 65 years of age and, presumably, have little interest in these activities. Again, as with sufficiency of parks and recreational areas, East and South Naples and Marco Island/Goodland respondents exhibited the highest agreement, 43 and 44 percent respectively, while 15 percent disagreed from Marco Island/Goodland and five percent from East and South Naples disagreed. The other area of comparatively high agreement included respondents from Golden Gate Urban Estates and Rural Estates east of 951. Regarding beach accesses, half agreed that Collier County has enough to meet the needs of residents and visitors while almost two of every five respondents disagreed. The highest areas of agreement were the City of Naples where 57 percent agreed and in East and South Naples where 69 percent agreed. On Marco Island/Goodland, 56 percent agreed. Respondents from the Everglades City area and Golden Gate exhibited the highest levels of disagreement, 55 percent and 50 percent respectively. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 14 Responses to the question regarding whether Collier County is saving sufficient acreage in order to preserve the natural environment were about equally divided between agrees, disagrees, and no opinions. A little over one in three agreed (34 percent) with the question. However, nearly two in five disagreed (39 percent), and a little over one in four had no opinion (27 percent). In the Everglades City area, 55 percent, 20 percentage points over the averaged total, agreed. In East and South Naples, nearly half or 48 percent agreed. Those respondents exhibiting the most concern about saving acreage from development reside in the North Naples coastal area of Collier County, Golden Gate, and the Estates area east of 951. More than half of the responders to the question on the efficiency and effectiveness of Collier County's court system had no opinion, while agree and disagree responses were split evenly, with 21 percent agreeing and 21 percent disagreeing. Of Marco Island /Goodland responders, 82 percent had no opinion. The area of highest agreement was the Naples-North-Naples area. Those from the Everglades City area and Immokalee exhibited the highest disagreement. In regard to the court system, it is noteworthy that in 1994, 72 mentions of crime were counted as responders were given the opportunity to state "one or two important matters that government must deal with right now". For the first time in six (6) years, crime and related justice system issues such as longer prison sentences, juvenile problems, and victims' rights received more voluntary mentions, more than the concerns regarding roadway and development issues expressed in earlier studies. Table IV demonstrates 1994 responses to a variety of issues likely to lead to timely action by general-purpose government in Collier County.

Evaluation Of Existing County Services (Question 9a.-9e.) During the last five years, responders from all areas have consistently indicated their high regard for the County's library services and parks and recreation programs. Satisfaction with library services remained the same in 1994 as in 1993, with 82 percent satisfied. However in 1993, the satisfaction level with parks and recreational programs, which had shown an increase of 10 points from 1989 to 1992, declined in overall ranking from third to fourth. In 1994, satisfaction with parks and recreational services decreased by two more percentage points, from 66 percent in 1993 to 64 percent in 1994, essentially back to its 1989 level of 63 percent. Those most dissatisfied with parks in 1993 were from the Everglades City area where over half those responding are dissatisfied and the Immokalee area where nearly a third are dissatisfied. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 16 In 1994, the phrase "hazardous waste" was deleted from the question "Collection of solid waste and hazardous waste". Responders in 1994 indicated a significant increase in satisfaction concerning collection of solid waste, with 77 percent satisfied. Those most satisfied in 1994 are from east of Goodlette-Frank Boulevard south and east along the Davis Boulevard corridor and from East and South Naples. Those least satisfied are from Immokalee. In 1993, just over one- third of all respondents expressed no opinion, indicating, perhaps, a lack of understanding of the existing solid and hazardous waste collection program among some responding voters. However, in 1994, comparatively few (14 percent) expressed no opinion. The elimination of the phrase "hazardous waste" may be the key issue. Perhaps respondents felt insufficiently qualified to discuss hazardous waste collection. Satisfaction with emergency ambulance service rose by 11 percent from 1992 to 1993 and by 3 percent from 1993 to 1994 to a level of 61 percent. Whereas those in the southern coastal area surrounding Everglades City and Marco Island/Goodland were the least satisfied in 1993, responses from the Everglades City area and Marco Island/Goodland indicate they were the most satisfied in 1994, with three of four indicating satisfaction. However, with no one expressing "no opinion" from the Everglades City area, over one in four remained dissatisfied. Of the respondents from the North Naples coastal area, a little over two-thirds indicated they were satisfied. Satisfaction with enforcement of environmental regulations rose by 10 percent from 1992 to 1993, to nearly half satisfied in 1993. In 1994, satisfaction decreased slightly to 47 percent. Generally, in 1994 as in 1993, responses indicate that coastal-area residents from the Everglades City, Marco Island, and the City of Naples, with the exception of the North Naples coastal area, appear to be the most satisfied with environmental enforcement; while inland residents, with the exception of East and South Naples, are the least satisfied. However, 31 percent expressed no opinion which may indicate a lack of voter understanding of the details of local environmental policies. A word of caution: expressing dis- satisfaction does not necessarily mean that not enough enforcement is taking place. Some persons may feel that too much regulation is taking place as expressed in two of the open-ended comments made to the final survey question. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 17 Table V-A below provides the responses to the series of questions asked in 1994 about the provision of existing general-purpose-government services.

Table IV-B below demonstrates a comparison satisfaction level among the previously asked questions and the 1994 survey. In general, responses to government services questions either remain at the same satisfaction level or show a considerable rise in satisfaction levels during the last three (3) years, with the exception of parks and recreational facilities. Note that in 1994, five (5) services only were inquired about, and others were dropped. The rating numbers following the percentage reflect previous years' rankings. Table IV-B reveals the satisfaction level of responding voters to general- purpose government services over the last six (6) years.

For example, emergency ambulance services were rated as unsatisfactory by 10 percent in 1994. This compares to 17 percent dissatisfied in 1992 and 11 percent dissatisfied in'1993. Dissatisfaction with collection of solid waste decreased from 14 percent in 1993 to 9 percent in 1994. However, it must be remembered that the words "and hazardous" were removed from the statement in 1994. Other subjects such as library services, continue to remain fairly consistent. Conversely, dissatisfaction with parks and recreational facilities increased from 12 percent dissatisfied in 1992 to 17 percent in 1993 to 24 percent in 1994.

SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 19 Government policy regarding saving of acreage in order to preserve the natural environment continues to be confusing as more than two of five residents expressed no opinion, indicating they are not fully familiar with government policy in regard to the environment. Utilization Of Existing County Services (Question 14a.-14c.1.) Experience With a Specific County Agencv or Department The survey questionnaire employs "user" or "familiarity" questions to determine if the person interviewed has had a recent encounter with a specific county agency or department. In 1994, questions concerning experience with the fire department, zoning matters, and building permits were deleted. A question concerning respondent-household experience with County parks was added. For three (3) countywide services listed below, the level of 1994 respondent experience is as follows: TABLE VI-A Last 12 Months Over a Year Never REPORTED EXPERIENCE: Visited a County Library [Qu. 14b.] 78.27% 13.44% 8.27% Visited a County Park [Qu. 14c.] 73.09% 15.17% 11.72% Called for an Ambulance [Qu. 14a.] 12.40% 25.51% 62.06% Member of household visited a County Park [14c1.] 72.41% 14.48% 13.10% Use of County libraries and County parks within the last 12 months has remained statistically the same from 1993 to 1994. In 1993 library use had increased by 5 percent from 1992, possibly an indication of an interest in the new Main Library building located in the City of Naples. Use of ambulance service within the last 12 months increased by 2 percent, while those who had never called for an ambulance decreased somewhat from 70 percent to 62 percent. A second question on utilization of County Parks asked respondents about household members use of them. Of the respondents, 72 percent indicated that they themselves or a member of their household had visited a County Park within the last 12 months. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 20 In a further refinement of use of County services, respondents who had indicated use within the last 12 months were asked to state whether the service they received from employees was satisfactory or unsatisfactory. A question concerning whether employees knew their jobs was deleted from this year's survey. It should be noted that the following satisfaction rankings represent a sub-sample smaller than the total of responders [See appropriate Tables for Question 14a. through Question 14c.2.]. TABLE VI-B QUES. SATISFACTORY UNSATISFACTORY 14b1.

(N=36) Planning for the Future Needs of County Residents (Qu. 13a.-13j.) Responders to the county opinion surveys since 1989 have shown that they believe that beach preservation and maintenance needs to be a priority of county government, and 1994 respondents concurred. In response to the statement, "Most Collier County residents want well-preserved and well- maintained Gulf beaches," 96 percent agreed. Overall agreement, from all zip-code areas is well-demonstrated. Over 90 percent agreed from all areas with the exception of the rural county where over 80 percent agreed. Questions concerning fire districts, tourists paying a fair share of roadway costs, homeless persons, the competitive bidding process, incorporation of new cities, and the building permit process were replaced with other questions because they were deemed to have been sufficiently answered in previous surveys. In place of these questions, new subjects suggested by department managers were formulated into questions composed by Fraser & Mohlke. SEVENTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTEPS Page 21 A statement concerning bicycle paths connecting to area schools also received high agreement from all zip-code areas, 96 percent. In Golden Gate, the Rural and Urban Estates and in the North Naples coastal area of Collier County, 100 percent agreed with the statement. The Marco/Goodland area and Goodlette-Frank/Davis Boulevard area were only somewhat lower with over 85 percent of respondents from these areas in agreement. Somewhat fewer agreed, 78 percent, that bicycle paths should be separated from streets and sidewalks even though this may mean spending additional dollars. The lowest area of agreement is in the Rural and Urban Estates, where two of three agreed and in the urban coastal area where 70 percent agreed. Areas of highest agreement are in Immokalee, 89 percent, and in Golden Gate City, 85 percent. A statement concerning opening the county's museum on weekends elicited 68 percent agreement with the lowest areas of agreement in the North Naples coastal area (54 percent) in the Immokalee area (50 percent) and Marco Island/Goodland (59 percent). Areas of highest agreement are the Everglades City area (91 percent), the Rural and Urban Estates (81 percent) and in the area east of Goodlette-Frank and south and east along Davis Boulevard (81 percent), and in Golden Gate City (79 percent). To a statement regarding dredging passes to the Gulf of Mexico and cleaning the bays as beneficial to most County residents, 61 percent agreed, with the lowest areas of agreement in Immokalee and the Everglades City area. The highest areas of agreement were in the coastal urban area, the Rural and Urban Estates and Golden Gate City, and in the Marco/Goodland area. A statement concerning government taking an active role in developing a Senior Center was agreed to by nearly two-thirds of the responders . Over two of five agreed with the statement concerning the efficiency and effectiveness of running local government (43 percent). Agreement with this ,tu«jllei^.. ::. 1994 is considerably lower than in 199.3. 'A.hen ye......1. agreed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER THE COST AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH A PROPOSED EASEMENT ACCESS TO THE GOLDEN GATE ESTATES COMMUNITY PARK, DIRECT STAFF TO PURCHASE A FIVE ACRE TRACT, AND APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT ALLOWING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL AMENITIES WITHIN THE PARK FACILITIES' FIRST PHASE OBJECTIVE: To purchase property which fronts on Golden Gate Boulevard and 1st Avenue S .W. for access to the Golden Gate Estates Community Park that is the best overall choice in terms of safety, cost, and time, and construct the overall facility as cost effectively as possible. CONSIDERATION: The Golden Gate Estates Community Park's property is located on fifteen (15) acres adjacent to the Big Cypress Elementary School and fronts on 1st Avenue S .W. The property was purchased assuming that a joint entrance into both the park and school could be designed that would safely accommodate the access needs of both facilities. Due to the heavy bus traffic, the high volume of regular vehicle traffic on Golden Gate Boulevard, and limited property at the point of the access, the joint entrance design was determined unsatisfactory. Per Board's direction, properties westerly of the school and fronting on Golden Gate Boulevard were pursued that could provide an alternative and separate park access. After property owners were approached, the Board was presented with two options ; one for acquisition of an easement (75' x 680' ) which appeared to have a greater wetland permitting problem, or the purchase of a five acre tract which appeared to be significantly less impacted by wetlands. Because of the purchase price differential, staff was directed to pursue the acquisition of the easement conditional upon Avatar's approval and the cost of mitigation. In addition, should the environmental constraints make this direction cost competitive with the purchase of the five acre tract, the item would be brought back to the Board for further consideration. The cost comparisons and the options are summarized as follows (not included are any contributions by the G.A.C. Land Trust Fund) : Executive Summary Golden Gate Estates Community Park Page 2 1. Acquisition of 75'x 680' Easement on Tract 97 and Provide Mitigation On Site. This option reduces the available usable park land by approximately three quarters (3/4) to one (1) acre on an already tight fifteen (15) acre site. Cost $71, 617 . 2. Acquisition of the 75'x 680' Easement on Tract 97 and Mitigate Off Site. The 10: 1 off site mitigation requirement adds a need to purchase 6.2 acres of additional land and create wetland bringing the cost of this option to $233 , 617 . 3 . Purchasing the Five Acre Tract. This option would require no mitigation but would include the purchase price of the five acres making this option cost $77, 600 . Option One is slightly less costly than Option Three. However, in overall utility, Option Three provides an additional four (4) acres of land for approximately $6, 000 more. If allowed for park use, the land could contain areas for parking or other park related amenities. Upon development of the construction plans for this site, it was determined that the site work, water management, utilities, and electrical are much more cost-effective if done at one time. This would result in fewer recreational amenities that could be completed within the Phase One budget. Staff has discussed the park site amenities with various external customers and, in response, are requesting the Board authorize an additional $500, 000 be used, or Community Park Impact Fee Funds be transferred into the project's account, in order that multi-use covered court, concession/restroom building, maintenance/service building, design fees and land costs can be included within Phase I construction of the Golden Gate Estates Community Park. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: All funds spent toward the construction of these park facilities will be credited toward the Park Facility Inventory. FISCAL IMPACT: The G.A.C. Land Trust Advisory Committee met on December 5, 1994 , and voted to support the purchase of either the easement or the five acre tract, whichever the Board ultimately determines using the GAC Trust Funds, but recommends the five acre tract purchase. These Trust Funds are to be used to benefit the residents of the Golden Gate Estates area. This provides $26, 100 toward the total cost of the five acre tract of $77, 600. The net additional cost to Collier County funds would be $51, 500 for the permitting and closing costs. Executive Summary Golden Gate Estates Community Park Page 3 The operating costs for this facility would be supported by the County's General Fund. The cost of operations are estimated to be approximately $60, 000 annually. This provides a minimal staff of two (2) maintenance workers and their associated costs. Permanent on-site staffing is not planned. The attached budget amendment to proceed with the additional amenities adds $500, 000 from Fund 368 Reserves, (the Urban Area Community Park Impact Fee Fund) to the current project budget for Phase I construction budget of $1, 100, 000 . This will provide the estimated funds to include our external customers request for additional amenities. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners: 1. approve the purchase of Tract 96 , Unit 4 , Golden Gate Estates and authorize its Chairman to execute the Agreement of Sale and Purchase, 2 . exempt the purchase from the requirement of an appraisal pursuant to Florida Statute 125 . 355, 3 . "accept" the required deed and authorize staff to record the deed and any other documents which may be necessary to effect clear title to the property in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida, 4 . approve any and all budget amendments necessary to purchase the subject property, 5. transfer necessary funds from 605 Reserves to the appropriate operating accounts, 6. approve the budget amendment transferring $500, 000 in funds to the Golden Gate Estates Community Park project to complete fully its design and construction, and Executive Summary Golden Gate Estates Community Park Page 4 7 . authorize staff to prepare and negotiate a Supplemental Agreement to R.F.P. #93-2059, Agenda Item 16 (H) (4) , March 22 , 1994, Professional Services Agreement, to include and meet our external customers requests for additional amenities for Board approval.

He gave the location of the road. Mr. Archibald stated that the northern segment of the roadway, approximately 1, 350 feet of the north/south route and approximately 2, 610 feet of the east/west route, is without reservation or dedica- tion. He said that according to Florida Statute a right-of-way map can be prepared to create that assumed dedication. He said that Staff with assistance from Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, have prepared that map. He said that Staff has confirmed the construction, operation and maintenance of the road for over 20 years. He reported that according to Statute 95.361 if the County can confirm the roadway was constructed and maintained by the County for over four years and that map is approved and recorded that would create the assumed dedication for public use. He said that the map is part of the agenda package. *** At this time Commissioner Volpe joined the meeting *** Mr. Archibald reported that Staff is recommending that the Board approve the right-of-way map, authorize the Chairman to execute and the Clerk of Courts to record the map. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Transportation Services Administrator Archibald explained that the improvements proposed for Carson Road in the Growth Management Plan are located south of Lake Trafford Road. He said this segment is to the north. In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Archibald confirmed that a actual beginning of this segment is at the intersection with Westclox Road and extends north of Westclox Road approximately 1, 350 feet. He said that at that point the road turns west for approxima- tely 2, 610 feet. Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe to approve Staff recommendation. Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously. (1824) Item #8C1 REPORT FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD BY JOE ZAKS - PRESENTED; STAFF TO IMPLEMENT MEETING PROCEDURES Joe Zaks, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, reported that the Board currently consists of seven members; five at large members, one member dedicated for Immokalee and one member dedicated for Marco Island. He said all terms are four year terms. He stated that five major projects will be completed in 1995. He said that the Pelican Bay Community Park is currently opening and the Vineyards will open early in 1995. He reported that the Immokalee pool and gym, the Golden Gate Community Center expansion and the Golden Gate Estates Community Park will be completed in 1995. Mr. Zaks stated that the Board meetings are held at the various imunity Parks on a monthly basis. He said that the public is w-Lcomed at any meetings. Mr. Zaks reported that Leisure Line is another form of com- aication that has been developed and distributed through the Chamber of Commerce. He said that 60, 000 copies of Leisure Line were distributed by the Naples Daily News in the Spring of 1994 resulting in a great response to the Parks and Recreation Department regarding programs and activities. Mr. Zaks reported that the Board is currently working on gathering information for the Growth Management Plan in a fiscally responsible manner, such as suggesting the concept of regional parks instead of community parks. He said that a regional park can serve a larger com- munity while reducing infrastructure costs and operating costs of an equivalent number of community parks. He said that another suggestion to the Growth_Management Plan is changing the definition of when a community pool should be brought on line and changed in such a manner because a number of citizenry would not be reached for five to ten years. He said that in that period of time the Advisory Board would review the operation of the pools and see if any additional pools should be built. Mr. Zaks stated that the Advisory Board has been enjoying good communication with Staff. He praised Tom 011iff and Steve Brinkman for their cooperation. Commissioner Constantine expressed his gratitude to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He recalled that Commissioner Saunders had stated that the Board of County Commissioners wanted to encourage public input. He agreed with that statement. He expressed concern regarding the fact that Advisory Boards usually have only one oppor- -nity to address the Board of County Commissioners formally every lr years. He requested that this be changed to a format so that the Board of County Commissioners can take advantage of all the Advisory Boards at least twice per year. Commissioner Volpe agreed that this is an excellent suggestion. He suggested that as part of the budget process a representative from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board be present during the budget workshop presentation so that they could receive direction from the Board as to those areas representing the citizenry as opposed to Staff. Commissioner Constantine suggested creating a formal mechanism where the Board can meet with the Advisory Boards and establish a pat- tern. Commissioner Norris stated that it might be more appropriate to have a representative from the Advisory Boards report on what it is they are working on. He said that way they can see if they have sup- port from the Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Constantine agreed. He stated that a bi-annual report would be helpful. County Manager Dorrill stated that Staff would develop some ideas to share with the Board.
