VI. New Business
A. Reducing peak stormwater discharge rates in additional basins (sub- basins) [Jerry Kurtz]
Mr. Kurtz and Emilio Robau presented the Power Point "Collier County Additional Basin
Restricted Allowable Discharge Rates — Presentation to DSAC, November 4, 2015. " He noted:
• The item is intended to provide an update on the proposed changes in discharge rates for
certain areas of the County.
• He anticipates 1 — 2 more meetings with the Committee before finalizing the proposal.
• Since the previous meeting where he presented the proposal he met individually with
Members Foley, Chrzanowski, Mitchell and David Willems of Waldrop Engineering to
garner input on the proposal.
• He continues to prepare an economic impact analysis for the lands affected by the proposed
changes.
• The concept is supported in the County's Watershed Management Plan and by the South
Florida Water Management District.
• The concept is to limit the peak discharge rates in 16 existing basins in order to ensure the
existing canals (which capacity cannot be enlarged) have the capacity to handle future
development in these areas.
• Single family lots in Golden Gate Estates (less than 5 acres) would not be impacted by the
changes in the proposed discharge rates as they are exempt from permitting requirements.
• The new requirements would primarily affect commercial development and large residential
developments.
• An analysis has been completed on the impact of the proposed decrease in discharge rates for
a 12 acre commercial project which yielded a finding the site would need to be elevated
approximately 0.2' (two tenth of a foot) higher than that required under the existing
requirements.
• A cost estimate for the additional fill material and changes in side slopes is being developed
however a determination has been made the materials (size and amount of pipe, catch basins,
etc.) required to develop the site would remain unchanged.
• Options such as altering the side slopes required from 4:1 to 3:1, changing requirements for
parking lot designs, etc. could be considered to offset any increased construction costs.
3
November 4, 2015
An analysis of a 100 acre residential site could be completed if the County wants to expend
further funds. Mr. Robau opined the results would most likely be similar to that of the 12
acre commercial site analysis.
The benefits of the proposals include improved Levels of Service (LOS) for flood protection
provided by SFWMD and County operated canals, enhanced groundwater recharge potential,
restored hydrology and wetlands hydroperiod, water quality improvement of receiving
waters, reduction of freshwater flows to the estuaries, gain consistency in Environmental
Resource Permitting ( SFWMD and County).
Mr. Valle arrived at 3: 55pm
Under Committee discussion the following was noted:
• Concern the requirements have not been implemented in the Land Development Code. — Staff
noted a proposal is to request the State to allow the County to remove the requirements from
the GMP and relocate them to the LDC.
• Concern the requirement to increase the amount of stormwater retained on site will elevate
the water table and create additional FEMA requirements for elevating infrastructure and
homes.
• Subsurface systems are currently allowed but are expensive and generally used in the urban
areas where land values are much greater than non urban areas.
• How would redevelopment of a site be treated, would they be required to meet the new
standards and how would rights be vested for pre - existing uses (i.e. permitted but not yet
built)? - Mr. Robau reported that has yet to be determined but one concept may be to set a
threshold on the extensiveness of the renovation (i. e. 100 percent demolition reconstruction
vs. 25 percent site impact).
• A review of the "bleed down" rates should be conducted as it appears the 0.04cfs discharge
rate for some design criteria cannot meet the required threshold.
The Committee determined an analysis of a 100 acre residential site is not required based it is
likely the largest impacts will be to high density, lower acreage commercial sites.
Staff reported they would return to the Committee with an update in the future.
B. Incentive Review Table Summary 2015 [Kimberley Grant]
Ms. Grant and Stephen Hruby (Chairman of the Affordable Housing Committee) presented the
"Draft 2015 Incentive Review and Recommendation Report" for information purposes. She noted:
• The Report was prepared at the direction of the BCC and is updated every three years.
• It includes a list of current and proposed incentives with recommendations on their priority
and if existing ones should be maintained.
• The item is scheduled to be heard at the December 8, 2015 BCC meeting.
• One concept being considered is establishment of a Essential Service system to aid those
employees in the area that provide these services (Emergency Medical Services, Firefighters,
Hospital Staff, Home Health Care, etc.) in fording housing.
The Committee noted:
4
November 4, 2015
The incentives revolve around providing funds for housing while it would be more beneficial
to seek avenues to reduce the costs of development. Those in the industry have a tendency to
search out economic opportunities such as exemptions from impact or other fees, "paybacks"
for soft costs (design, engineering, permitting, etc.) for projects as opposed to utilizing
programs which require the solicitation of funds.
Any requirements to provide affordable housing in new developments should have highly
flexible opportunities to meet these goals (monetary donations for use of funds for projects in
more desirable areas as opposed to building on site, etc).
Mr. Mitchell left at 4:35pm
• Concern Collier County generates funds from real estate transfers that are allocated to a State
Program for housing that is primarily directed to other areas. Mechanisms should be
developed to ensure the County is allowed to retain their fair share of proceeds raised.
• Consideration should be given to promoting micro housing which would reduce the
requirement for large tracts of land to provide affordable housing. This would especially be
beneficial for infill parcels and aid in reducing sprawl.
• A review of the requirements for allowing rentals of guest houses should be undertaken given
there is a large supply in the Golden Gate Estates area restricted from this type of use. — Ms.
Grant noted one concern is how to regulate this activity given the high potential for use of
the facilities for short term housing for seasonal residents and visitors to the area.
• It is critical to ensure all varieties of housing opportunities, exist in the region including
opportunities for the workforce as potential or existing employees may choose to locate to
another area when seeking employment.
Mr. Hruby concluding noting without the availability of adequate workforce housing, a crisis will
develop creating severe economic consequences for the County as companies in the future may not
locate to the area, and the existing ones may not be able to adequately Staff their operations and
move elsewhere or shutdown completely due to the financial impact created by the lack of housing.
Mr. Waldrop left at 4: 55pm
The Committee queried on any input required for Staff on the Report.
Ms. Grant reported she will notify the Board of County Commissioners the item was reviewed by
the DSAC and relay the comments generated today to the Commissioners.
C. Discuss contractor form, cancellation form, authorization form [Jon Walsh]
Mr. Walsh provided the following updated forms for information purposes: "Change of
Contractor, " "Cancellation Form " and "Authorization Form. "
D. City View Software Support Update
Mr. French presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation that the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) waives competition and approves the Software Maintenance Agreement for
a five year period for a total amount of $1,221,995.02 with N. Harris Computer Corporation for the
City View software application" for consideration. The contract is for unlimited full vendor
November 4, 2015
software technical support for the firm that developed the City View software and includes two on-
site visits per year. The company is located in British Columbia, Canada and has agreed to service
Collier County beginning at 4.00am Pacific Time in order to accommodate the work start time of
6:30am for some County employees.
Mr. Disney moved to recommend tlae Board of County Commissioners (Board) waives
competition and approves the Software Maintenance Agreement for a five year period for a total
amount of $1,221,995.02 with N. Harris Computer Corporation for the City View software
application. Second by Mr. Mulhere. Carried unanimously 13 — 0.
VII. Old Business
None
VIII. Committee Member Comments
Mr. Foley recommended consideration be given to convening a Subcommittee to review County
requirements for redevelopment of areas through the deviation process.
Mr. Mulhere recommended:
1. A review of the Fire Review fee schedule be conducted, to ensure there are not fees charged for
services not required to be provided during plan reviews.
2. Staff reviews the number of copies of information required for applications submittals.
3. Staff reviews the process for storing versions of electronically submitted applications on CD's.
The Committee noted items 2 and 3 could be addressed by the Task Force outlined by Mr. McLean in
item Y. G.

Subject: Miscellaneous Service Charge Cost Recovery Analysis
The Collier County Water -Sewer District (the "District ") historically has had charges or fees that
are billed to customers to recover costs for specific services provided by the District at the
request of a customer that benefit only that customer (e.g., service turn-on). These charges are
commonly referred to as "miscellaneous service charges." Miscellaneous service charges provide
a mechanism for the District to recover direct costs associated with a service that benefits one
individual customer rather than the overall customer base. Such miscellaneous service charges
thereby reduce the revenue requirements that must be recovered from all customers via monthly
user rates.
The District's miscellaneous service charge schedules were last modified on February 8, 2011
pursuant to Resolution No. 2011 -30, but most of the charges in the schedules have remained
unchanged since 2008, or approximately eight (8) years ago. Since the utility's overall costs of
providing service have increased since that time, Collier County (the "County") retained Public
Resources Management Group, Inc. (PRMG) to perform a formal review of the District's
miscellaneous fees to assist the District staff in: i) determining the cost of providing the
applicable services; ii) recommending policies regarding fees that may not be entirely cost -
based or are designed to meet a specific objective (e.g., promote timely payment through
application of late payment fees); and iii) performing benchmarking against other Florida water /
wastewater utilities. The proposed miscellaneous service charges are shown in Table ES -1
following this letter and were developed recognizing the following criteria:
• The District's estimated direct and fully - loaded costs of providing such services;
Charges for similar services of other Florida utilities (benchmarks); and
• County procedures.
Based on the rate development criteria mentioned above, the proposed miscellaneous service
charges as shown in Table ES -1 are primarily based on the District's estimated direct costs
(e.g., labor, vehicles / equipment and parts / supplies) of providing such services. They do not
include supervisory, administrative, departmental overhead, or contingency allowances, which
are sometimes included in such charges.

The increases in certain fees such as meter and cross connection device installation charges can
be attributed to:
1. Changes in regulations affecting prices and installation configurations. The County has
experienced a rise in the prices of parts due to the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water
Act which was enacted on January 4, 2011 to amend Section 1417 of the Safe Water
Drinking Act. The new requirements, which became effective on January 4, 2014, prohibit
the use of lead in any pipes, plumbing fittings or fixtures, solder and flux.
2. General inflation on the cost of materials and supplies attributable to providing the service.
3. Increases in the cost of personnel services, including the recognition of increased insurance
costs.
The proposed miscellaneous charges are comparable to charges for similar services by other
utilities in the State of Florida as shown in Table 10 at the end of this report. It is important to
note that, whereas the proposed charges are based on current costs, some other utilities may not
have adjusted their miscellaneous charges for several years.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the County and would like to thank the County
staff for their assistance and cooperation during the course of this study.

applicable services; ii) recommending policies regarding fees that may not be entirely cost -
based or are designed to meet a specific objective (e.g., promote timely payment through
application of late payment fees); and iii) performing benchmarking against other Florida water /
wastewater utilities. As part of our review, PRMG performed the following tasks:
We interviewed District staff regarding: i) the persons in the job classifications performing
the miscellaneous services; ii) the estimated time involved to complete the services based
on history and recent experience; iii) customer service involvement in processing a request
for the services; iv) vehicles and equipment used; and v) materials and supplies required to
perform the services. We included this information in our detailed calculations, and we
validated that the assumptions are consistent with those used by other utilities in the State
of Florida.
• We reviewed the methodology for the hourly rates for vehicles and equipment to determine
that there is a reasonable basis for such rates. The hourly rates utilized in the calculations
are based on the published "Schedule of Equipment Rates" of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). These rates are used to reimburse state and local
governments for the use of vehicles and equipment during disaster recovery activities.
Many other utilities in the State of Florida utilize the FEMA reimbursement rates in their
miscellaneous service charge calculations. Utilization of published FEMA rates is also
consistent with costing work orders for equipment in the County's enterprise asset
management system currently under development.
• We developed applicable supervisory, administrative, and departmental overhead
allowances to fully identify the potential cost of providing the miscellaneous services.
KAD01125- 38%WMiae 5w C6uge Rpt —I-
• We prepared a comparison of the District existing and proposed charges with fees for
similar service of other utilities in the State of Florida, which is shown in Table 10 at the
end of this report.
DEVELOPMENT OF PROPOSED MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
Meter and Cross - Connection Control Device Installation
An identifiable service that is provided to the District's water customers to connect to the water
distribution system. The connection can include either of two services:
Installation of the service line (including the tap into the water main) from the water main
to the meter box, as well as the meter box and meter and cross connection control device;
or
2. Installation of the meter and cross - connection control device whereby a meter box is
already installed by a third party (customer / contractor / developer) with an existuig tap
into the water main.
Essentially, the fee is designed to recover the cost of physically connecting to the District's water
system (e.g., meter, meter box, connection for radio reads, service line, and associated labor).
This fee should not be confused with a system development charge or impact fee which is
charged to new water system customers for their proportionate share of the capacity associated
with water production, treatment, and transmission facilities allocable to such customer.
The District's charges for installation - related services are based on the size of the meter or
service being installed, which recognizes differences in costs associated with the facility
installations. Generally, larger service sizes have a higher installation cost (whether it be the cost
of supplies and materials such as meters or the amount of time generally spent on the installation
of the service). Any meter installations for meter sizes above 2- inches are performed by
contractors.
The County's Ordinance No. 97 -33 as amended requires cross - connection (backflow) prevention
devices (reduced pressure zone devices downstream of the water meter) to be installed with any
potable water meter installation. Currently, customers are charged the meter installation fee when
applying for a permit and the cross - connection device fee after installation of the meter. Since
both the meter and the backflow prevention device are installed at the same time, PRMG
recommends that, in lieu of separate fees, a single fee be charged prior to installation to recover
the cost of both the meter and the cross - connection control device. A single fee is easier to
administer than two separate fees.
With Service Line Installation
The charge for the installation of a new service line, water meter, and cross - connection device is
proposed to be paid prior to the meter and cross - connection control device installation. The
development of the District's estimated cost to provide this service is shown in Table 1 and
summarized as follows:

If there is a situation in which a meter installation is to be performed without the installation of a
cross - connection control device (e.g., due to a damaged meter), PRMG recommends that the
charge for the service — with or without a service line installation — be based on the County's
actual time and material cost.
Cross - Connection Control Device Charge — Meter Already Installed
In the event that a cross - connection control device must be installed or replaced on an existing
customer's meter, PRMG recommends that the charge for the service be based on the County's
actual time and material cost.
Equipment Hourly Rates
The equipment hourly rates are applicable when use of District equipment is requested by third
parties. Based on discussions with County staff, the County's new enterprise asset management
system will use Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "Schedule of Equipment
Rates" for purposes of tracking equipment casts. Using FEMA reimbursement rates to estimate
direct equipment costs in miscellaneous fee calculations is a common practice among local
governments. The FEMA rates are used by the Federal government to reimburse local
governments for use of their equipment during emergencies declared by the Federal government
(e.g., natural disasters).
PRMG recommends that the equipment hourly rates for the District be adjusted to be generally
consistent with the FEMA reimbursement rates as summarized in the following table:

Administration (per Incident)
This charge is applicable when the District bills on a time and materials basis for planned or
unplanned work, and covers the billing and collection of the invoice. Examples of such work
include, but are not limited to, repairs on water mains, cross - connection control devices, and
service lines; and relocation of a service line at customer's request. The current administration
fee is currently 15% or $300, whichever is smaller. Based on discussions with District staff,
PRMG recommends that the District lower the fee to 5% or $100, whichever is smaller.
Parts
The District currently charges for materials, supplies, and parts as required to provide service
based on the District's actual charges. PRMG recommends that the District maintain this
practice.
Subcontractors
If any subcontractors are required to provide a requested service, the District currently charges
for the subcontracts based on actual invoice cost. PRMG recommends that the District maintain
this practice.
Right of Way Permits
Right of way permits are required by Collier County per Ordinance No. 2003 -37 when working
in the public right of way. To obtain such a permit, plans detailing the work to be completed
must be provided, along with the names of people who will be performing the work. Once the
permit is issued, the work is inspected to ensure it has been completed in accordance with the
Ordinance. The District currently charges for services associated with right of way permits based
on actual costs. PRMG recommends that the District maintain this practice.
Laboratory Tests (per Test)
The District currently charges $25 per test for bacteriological tests performed to determine
whether a water main is acceptable for conveying potable water. As part of the test process, the
residual chlorine and pH levels are determined or verified, as they are indicators of possible
problems in a public water supply. Currently, there is only one test performed, so only one fee is
applicable.

Meter Test
Customers may request bench testing of water meters to verify the accuracy of the meters. This
fee is very common in the industry. For utilities that charge a meter bench - testing fee, the fee is
generally retained by the utility only if the test shows that the meter is registering within the
acceptable accuracy limits as established by the American Water Works Association guidelines.
For the District, if the meter is accurate within +/- 3 %, the customer must pay the fee.
The District offers customers the opportunity to have the meter temporarily removed from the
service address and taken to a testing facility for controlled flow testing. The customer chooses
whether to have the service performed at a utility meter testing facility or at an independent
meter testing facility.

Meter Lock and Unlock, 1st Event during Calendar Year
The due date on each utility bill is 20 days from the date the bill is mailed. If payment has not
been received 5 days after the due date, a courtesy call is made to the customer to remind the
customer that the utility bill is delinquent. A second courtesy call is made 4 days later if payment
still has not been received. A meter is locked 11 days after the due date (31 days after bill is
mailed) if payment has not been received in accordance with the Special Act of the Florida
Legislature prohibiting free service.
The development of the District's estimated cost to lock and then unlock a meter during normal
business hours (i.e., requires two trips) is shown in Table 8 and summarized as follows:

Meter Lock and Unlock, 2nd Event during Calendar Year
To encourage customers to pay their water and sewer utility bill in a timely manner (thereby
reducing the utility staffing resources being utilized to perform meter locks and unlocks rather
than operational functions related to providing water service) and based on discussions with
District staff, PRMG recommends that the meter lock and unlock fee during normal hours for the
second event during a calendar year be 150% of the $55 fee for the first event (discussed
previously in this report as shown in the following table:

Meter Unlock After Normal Business Hours
After Normal Business Hours includes the time between 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. on weekdays
and all day Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Normal shift crews perform this task between 7:00
A.M. and 4:00 P.M., while a second shift crew has been assigned this task from 4:00 P.M. to
10:00 P.M. On -call staff perform this task between 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. If a customer
requests that a meter be unlocked before the next business day, he or she will pay an after normal
x:Tcu Ir- 3sdipMC= sw cnm-ge xpt -17-
business hours unlock fee. Calls after normal business hours are answered by the County's
outsourced call center (Business One).
For service after normal business hours, the County's on -call policy per Chapter CMA 5341:
Compensation Administration, Office of County Manager Administrative Procedure, is to pay
employees a minimum two hours of labor when the employee is not otherwise scheduled to
work. The development of the District's estimated cost to unlock a meter after normal business
hours — and the associated additional cost compared with a meter unlock during normal business
hours -- is shown in Table 8. The cost difference is summarized as follows:

Based on the District's costs associated with this service, consideration of the District's existing
fees, and discussions with District staff, PRMG recommends that the District consider adopting
the following meter pull charge:

Existing Fee $110.00
Recommended Fee $123.00
[1] Amowits derived from Table 9.
If the customer wishes to have the meter reinstalled, the District's then- current meter installation
charges are applicable.
Meter Removal
This charge is applicable if a property owner requests that the meter be removed, but intends to
have it reinstated at a later date, potentially due to a lot / property being redeveloped. The meter
installation costs are incurred later once the new service line or meter location can be finalized.
The District currently charges for meter removals based on the actual time and material cost, and
PRMG recommends that this practice he maintained.
Discontinuance of Service — Meter Removal
This charge is applicable when all outstanding balances have been paid and a demolition permit
has been completed. The District currently charges for meter removals based on the actual time
and material cost, and PRMG recommends that this practice be maintained.
Illegal Connection, Unlawful Connection, and Tampering
When an illegal connection has been made, or if there has been other tampering with water
service, the actual time and cost of the repair / replacement is charged currently by the County,
plus the cost of the water consumed, plus a $300 fine. There is also typically a citation for
endangering health and safety.
KA W1125.39%pANfj= ff- Charge Rpt -20-
Based on discussions with District staff and a review of similar charges for neighboring and
other Florida utilities, PRMG recommends that the $300 fine be changed to applicable fees as
provided for in Section 2- 2044(b) of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances which
currently has a fee of $105 for the first violation, $255 for the second violation, and $405 for
subsequent uncontested violations.
Temporary Meter Account Deposit
This deposit is charged for any temporary meter and backflow device, whether static or traveling,
to offset any damages, meter repair or replacement costs, or outstanding balances for base
charges and consumption. The current deposit is $1,000. A common utility practice is to link the
deposit to the cost of the meter. Based on discussions with District staff regarding the current
costs of temporary meters, the associated cross - connection control device, and the administration
costs associated with maintaining the account, the deposit is recommended to be maintained at
$1,000.
Duplicate Bill Processing Fee
Property owners who have a tenant occupy their property are required to inform the utility so that
a bill can be sent to both the owner and the tenant. The property owner must receive the original
utility bill since the owner is ultimately responsible, subject to a property lien in accordance with
Chapter 2003 -353, Laws of Florida, otherwise known as the Special Act (the "Special Act ") of
the Florida Legislature that created the District. The District currently charges $2.00 to render a
duplicate bill. Based on discussions with District staff regarding the current costs of producing a
duplicate bill, PRMG recommends that the $2.00 fee per duplicate bill be lowered to $1.00 to
recover printing and mailing costs.
Non - Sufficient Funds (NSF) Processing Charge
When checks are received by the District from utility customers in payment of a bill that are
subsequently refused by the bank, the District incurs costs for the checks being returned to the
customer. The non - sufficient funds (NSF) processing charge is intended to recover costs incurred
by the District. This fee is very common in the utility industry.
The current NSF processing charge is based on the actual bank charge assessed plus an
administration fee of 5% of the check amount or $100, whichever is smaller. Based on the
parameters regarding violations involving checks and drafts as contained in Florida Statutes
Section 832.07, it is recommended that the County adopt the following schedule with respect to
non - sufficient funds:
Proposed Non - Sufficient Funds Processing Charge
Amount
For checks up to $50.00 $25.00
For checks $50.01 to $300.00 $30.00
For checks above $300.00 $40.00
or 5% of check amount,
whichever is greater
R\D01 125-38ftiMsc Svc charge Rpt —21-
Late Payment Penalty
In order to encourage timely payment of monthly service bills and to compensate for additional
costs associated with increased customer service costs, a late payment or penalty charge has been
adopted by several utilities. This fee is usually assessed to customers that are delinquent in the
payment of utility bills for monthly service. Such fees are very common in the utility industry as
well as other industries that extend credit to customers (e.g., credit card companies). In general,
the fee is usually charged as a percentage of the outstanding bill and provides for: i) the lost
opportunity cost of interest earnings on cash balances; ii) the administrative costs associated with
notification to the delinquent customer, customer accounting, and data processing; iii) the
additional costs associated with the need for utilities to have cash working capital balances in
excess of needed levels because of non - payment of bills; and iv) a monetary incentive to compel
prompt payment practices.
Currently, the District charges 5% of the current charges. The late payment penalty fee is a
policy decision and, based on discussions with District staff, PRMG recommends that the
District maintain the current late payment penalty.
Vehicle Over Meter
This charge, which is currently $60, is applicable when a vehicle is parked over a meter box and
the owner has to move it, requiring two trips by staff to be made for completion of the work.
Although the current radio read meters can obtain a reading even if a vehicle is parked over a
meter box, the County staff may still on occasion have difficulties obtaining a reading. Based on
discussions with District staff, PRMG recommends that the vehicle over meter charge be
removed from the utility's miscellaneous service charge schedule, as fines can be imposed based
on the County's current parking laws.
Removal of Landscaping to Access Utility Assets
If District staff must remove landscaping to keep utility assets free from foliage, a charge of $80
is currently imposed. Based on discussions with District staff, the level of effort to remove
landscaping can vary widely among sites. As such, PRMG recommends that the charges be
based on the actual time and material costs.
Septage Processing Charge / 1,000 Gallons
Historically, the District charged $45 per 1,000 gallons to approved contractors that discharged
wastewater into the utility's wastewater facilities. Based on discussions with District staff, the
County's current wastewater treatment plant operating permit as issued by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) does not allow this practice. PRMG
recommends that the existing charge be maintained so that a rate can be applied in the event of
an emergency situation.
Grease Trap Waste Charge / 1,000 Gallons
Historically, when a pumper truck was required to remove waste, the District charged a rate of
$45 per 1,000 gallons. Based on discussions with District staff, this service is no longer
K:\Mj 125.381RpW,= Svc Charge Rpt —22—
performed. PRMG recommends that the existing charge be maintained but will only be applied
in the event of an emergency situation.
MISCELLANEOUS CHARGE COMPARISON
The proposed miscellaneous charges are considered by PRMG to be comparable to charges for
similar services by other utilities in the State of Florida. Table 10 at the end of this report
contains a limited comparison of the proposed fees with those of other Florida utilities. It is
important to note that, whereas the proposed charges for the District are based on current costs,
some other utilities may not have adjusted their miscellaneous service charges for several years.)

Expedited Permitting for Target Industry Economic Development Projects in Collier County
(
The Office of Business&Economic Development is Collier County's supporting agency to carry out the
Board of County Commission's economic development strategy of long term economic prosperity by
encouraging a competitive business climate and diversifying the economy. The Office of Business&
Economic Development and its partners work to market the County's efforts to create a business
friendly climate for economic development projects. One particular advantage of a business friendly
climate, expedited permitting,is an important part of any community's economic development toolkit
and is a valued strategy for attracting target industry for the purposes of diversifying the economy in our
community. For this reason,the Office of Business&Economic Development is requesting
consideration by this advisory group for authorizing the Growth Management Department additional
discretion beyond what current protocol for expediting permits allows. The additional discretion,would
(
allow properly identified "Qualified Economic Development Projects"to be cued up for review and
processing outside of the sequence in which they are received in the application process. Adding this
flexibility will allow the Growth Management Department to work with Economic Development on
significant strategic community changing projects yet remain within Growth Management's ability to
avoid disrupting the guaranteed delivery on all other permits.
The eligibility criteria to be a "Qualified Economic Development Project" proposed is clear and would
consist of a written determination by the County's Office of Business and Economic Development that
the project meets the special criteria of target industries which are developed by the Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity(DEO)and Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI). The target industries are
defined in the attached excerpt of F.S. 288.106 and specified by the current Enterprise Florida's list of
target industries. The industries included are determined as"targeted" primarily in that they grow our
local economy by exporting a good,commodity or service and in return import new dollars into the local
economy creating real wealth. Growth in target industries can diversify a local economy by increasing
the balance of businesses focused on production for export to outside markets, in contrast with a
disproportionately high percentage of businesses serving consumption driven by local markets.
It is important to preserve the excellent progress made by the Collier County Growth Management
Department toward providing extraordinary service to our Citizens and the development industry. This
progress makes it evident that the Department is capable of performing the function well within the
established form or structure of the permitting process. As a functional example,the Department
delivers prompt review of permit applications and maintains a continual line of communication with
applicants to resolve issues that arise during the permitting process. As to form improvements,the
Growth Management Department has a history of collaborating with the development industry in order
to anticipate emerging needs of the industry and to identify areas where our permitting process can be
streamlined. These improvements have been successful,while at the same time the Department strives
to maintain the integrity of County processes to ensure that new development complements the
existing community in a harmonious manner. This proposal introduces a margin of functional flexibility
at the structural level for a strictly limited number of"Qualified Economic Development Projects",to
improve Growth Management and Economic Development staffs efforts to strengthen our community's
business diversity and overall wellbeing.
In conclusion,the Office of Business& Economic Development is fully aligned with Growth
Management's commitment to consistently providing prompt reviews of all projects and maintaining a
superior level of service in the normal course of all projects that submit for permitting. The expedited
review process for"Qualified Economic Development Projects"as proposed will enhance the
community's economic development strategy by working within the Growth Management Department
parameters,allowing staff the discretion to assist economic development projects without
compromising the County's ability to continue to provide prompt reviews of all projects.

Businesses able to locate in other states and serving multi-state and/or international markets are targeted.Call Centers and Shared Service
Centers may qualify for incentives if certain economic criteria are met.Retail activities,utilities,mining and other extraction or processing
businesses,and activities regulated by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation are
statutorily excluded from consideration.All projects are evaluated on an individual basis and therefore operating in a target industry does not
automatically indicate eligibility.
For additional information about Florida's business advantages,
please visit Enterprise Florida's website at www.enterpriseflorida.com
or call 407-956-5600. Rev.ions
(q) "Target industry business" means a corporate headquarters business or any business
that is engaged in one of the target industries identified pursuant to the following criteria
developed by the department in consultation with Enterprise Florida, Inc.:
1. Future growth.—Industry forecasts should indicate strong expectation for future growth
in both employment and output, according to the most recent available data. Special
consideration should be given to businesses that export goods to, or provide services in,
international markets and businesses that replace domestic and international imports of
goods or services.
2. Stability.—The industry should not be subject to periodic layoffs, whether due to
seasonality or sensitivity to volatile economic variables such as weather. The industry
should also be relatively resistant to recession, so that the demand for products of this
industry is not typically subject to decline during an economic downturn.
3. High wage.—The industry should pay relatively high wages compared to statewide or
area averages.
4. Market and resource independent.—The location of industry businesses should not be
dependent on Florida markets or resources as indicated by industry analysis, except for
businesses in the renewable energy industry.
5. Industrial base diversification and strengthening.—The industry should contribute
toward expanding or diversifying the state's or area's economic base, as indicated by
analysis of employment and output shares compared to national and regional trends.
Special consideration should be given to industries that strengthen regional economies by
adding value to basic products or building regional industrial clusters as indicated by
industry analysis. Special consideration should also be given to the development of strong
industrial clusters that include defense and homeland security businesses.
6. Positive economic impact.—The industry is expected to have strong positive economic
impacts on or benefits to the state or regional economies. Special consideration should be
given to industries that facilitate the development of the state as a hub for domestic and
global trade and logistics.
The term does not include any business engaged in retail industry activities; any electrical utility
company as defined in s. 366.02_(2); any phosphate or other solid minerals severance, mining, or
processing operation; any oil or gas exploration or production operation; or any business subject to
regulation by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Department of Business and Professional
Regulation. Any business within NAICS code 5611 or 5614, office administrative services and business
support services, respectively, may be considered a target industry business only after the local
governing body and Enterprise Florida, Inc., make a determination that the community where the
business may locate has conditions affecting the fiscal and economic viability of the local community or
area, including but not limited to, factors such as tow per capita income, high unemployment, high
underemployment, and a lack of year-round stable employment opportunities, and such conditions may
be improved by the location of such a business to the community. By January 1 of every 3rd year,
beginning January 1, 2011, the department, in consultation with Enterprise Florida, Inc., economic
development organizations, the State University System, local governments, employee and employer
organizations, market analysts, and economists, shall review and, as appropriate, revise the list of such
target industries and submit the list to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives.

Re: Architectural and Site Design Standards LDC Amendment
On July 24, 2012,the Board of County Commissioners created the Architectural and Site Design
Standards Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc Committee)to review the architectural standards in the Land
Development Code(LDC)and make recommendations for updates and revisions.The Ad Hoc Committee
has met over the past two years to review the architectural standards and has proposed an LDC
amendment which makes comprehensive changes to LDC section 5.05.08.Additionally,several cross-
references are proposed throughout the LDC to improve awareness of the architectural standards.
The DSAC-LDR subcommittee has reviewed the proposed amendment and recommended approval of
the amendment with several recommended revisions for the Ad Hoc Committee's consideration. On
Nov. 16,2015,the Ad Hoc Committee incorporated the DSAC-LDR Subcommittee's recommendations in
the amendment request.The DSAC-LDR recommendations and the current amendment request are
available on the LDC amendments website under the heading, "Amendments to Architecture and Site
Design Standards."
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Report from DSAC-LDR Conservation Collier Subcommittee
On July 7, 2015,the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to work with the Conservation Collier
Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC)and the Development Services Advisory Committee
(DSAC)to provide options to increase the long-term management endowment for management costs
related to the acceptance of properties donated to Conservation Collier to satisfy off-site native
vegetation preservation options established in LDC section 3.05.07.
The DSAC-LDR Conservation Collier Subcommittee met on October 19 and November 12 and made the
following recommendations to alter the endowment process:
1) Adjust the monetary payment allowed in LDC section 3.05.07 H.1.f.iii.a using the following
formula(note:all costs are per acre):
Average Conservation Collier Purchases $32,800
Estimated Management Endowment Cost $13,200
Initial Exotic Removal Cost $ 4,000
Total $50,000
2) Adjust the management endowment required for land donations allowed in LDC section
3.05.07 H.1.f.iii.b using the following formula(note:all costs are per acre):
Estimated Management Endowment Cost $13,200
Initial Exotic Removal Cost $ 4,000
Total $17,200
The costs included in this proposal provide for over 50 years of management but assume that the
management costs are reduced after 5 years from approximately$558 to$141 per acre, however,staff
is not confident that this reduction in costs will be realized. Therefore,the Subcommittee
recommended that both formulas should be re-evaluated every three years to reflect any necessary
adjustments to the management endowment. For more information regarding these recommendations,
visit the LDC amendments website and click the meeting materials listed under the 12/2/15 DSAC
Meeting.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Richard Henderlong
