missioners approximately two weeks ago which was to complete
the list of items posted on the board and authorize the Parks
Consultants to design a new Master Plan, eliminating the
Page 2
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AUGUST 15, 1985
Civic Center and not covering the drainage ditch. He said
the Board of County Commissioners decided they did not want
to pay for a new Master Plan and sent the subject back to the
,P— Parks & Recreation Advisory Board for review, leaving the
Nkomo' Civic Center in the Master Plan but not to build anything on
the land at this time and to prioritize the rest of the
facilities and return it to the BCC.
After much discussion, the following list of priorities

of costs as outlined.
UPDATE OF BID TABULATIONS FOR NORTH NAPLES AND GOLDEN GATE
COMMUNITY PARKS
Mr. Vanatta said that Staff and Parks Consultant Tom
Peek have been discussing eliminations for the North Naples
and Golden Gate Community Parks. He said Mr . Peek will be
negotating with the contractors to see if they can hold firm
on the prices. He said Staff recommends holding a Special
Meeting on August 29, 1985 to review those bids to obtain a
recommendation to take to the Board of County Commissioners
as soon as possible. The members tentatively agreed to meet
on that date.
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE GULF COAST LITTLE LEAGUE -
APPROVED
Mr . Larry Brennan, President of Gulf Coast Little
`frr
League, referred to a letter outlining their request for the
Parks & Recreation Advisory Board to continue assistance in
the cooperative arrangement that Collier County and the Gulf
Coast Little League has had in the past. He said the program
affects children in an area ranging from North Naples from
Immokalee Road to Marco Island.
Ms. Esther Koert, Past President of Gulf Coast Little
League, requested assistance from the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board for turf maintenance at Lely baseball complex.
Mr . Vanatta explained that Gulf Coast Little League
requested assistance last year for about seven or eight
months and the cooperative effort between the County and Gulf
Coast Little League worked out well . He said Staff has no
problem entering into a similar agreement agreement as
reached last year. He explained there is another Little
League organization in North Naples and the County maintains
the facility that organization uses. He said Staff feels it
Nolow
has an obligation to those groups that do not have a field to
Page 4
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AUGUST 15 , 1985
provide them with a facility to use.
A discussion followed regarding the philosophical
question of Collier County supporting a private corporation' s
property.
Mr. Monaco moved, seconded by Mr. Myers and carried 4/0,
that the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board proceed with the
recommended request of the Gulf Coast Little League.
FLORIDA RECREATION DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (FRDAP)
GRANT FOR GOLDEN GATE COMMUNITY PARK - RETAINED
Mr. Vanatta referred to recent personnel changes and
explained that one of the Parks and Recreation Coordinator ' s
functions is dealing with State and Federal Grants.
Mr . Loubier requested that the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board recommend to the Board of County Commissioners
that the Golden Gate Community Park site be selected as the
FRDAP Grant Application Site and recommend, if the grant is
accepted, that the total funding amount be applied to the
Golden Gate Community Park site. He said the County has
entered into a new grant program called Grantsmanship, adding
he has been in touch with all Federal and State Grant
Programs regarding where grants could be obtained. He said
Collier County recently was approved for a $177,000 Grant
from the Federal Government Land, Water and Conservation Fund
for the East Naples Park and the money will be distributed
equally through the other park sites. He said the FRDAP
Grant would be $50, 000 and the application has been
completed .
Mr. Myers moved, seconded by Mr. Caballero and carried
4/0, that the FRDAP Grant for $50,000 be designated to the
Golden Gate Community Park.
ADDENDUM TO CONCESSION AGREEMENT FOR CAXAMBAS PASS PARK -
APPROVED
Mr . Vanatta explained that approximately two years ago
the Caxarnbas Pass Park on Marco Island was bid out for
takeover and Don Clark, of Marco River Marina, was the only
bidder. He said the bid was rejected and negotiations for a
contract were held. He explained Mr. Clark agreed, within
the contact, to maintain the turf of the park. Mr . Vanatta
said Staff does not feel the park is being maintained at an
Page 5
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AUGUST 15, 1985
acceptable level. He said this is the only park that is
currently contracted out and Staff feels that this park
should be returned to Collier County to maintain. He said
4:; Staff wants to modify the contract and take the subject to
the Board of County Commissioners. He explained currently
there is a boat launch fee of $1.25 per boat which is split
80% to the County and 20% to Mr . Clark. He said Mr . Clark is
willing to give the County 100% of the fee. He said Mr.
Clark has negotiated a projected break-even point for the
next several years and after that point is obtained, Mr.
Clark has agreed to give the County an additional 3% of his
gross revenue over the break-even point.
Mr. Burton moved, seconded by Mr. Myers and carried 4/0,
that the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board recommend to the
Board of County Commissioners the changes to the existing
contract for the Caxambas Pass Park.

DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
*re Item IV. A. Review of Revised East Naples Community Park Master Plan
Mr. Bob Furlong of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and Peek will be present at
the meeting to discuss this item.
Item IV. B. Progress Report on the Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant
for East Naples
A request from Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) to have an
Environmental Impact Study (EIS) done on the East Naples site has been
addressed. DER from Punta Gorda is more familiar with the site and
environmental conditions at the site, therefore, a letter to Tallahassee
suggesting better coordination and communication between DER in Tallahassee
and Punta Gorda has been sent. Both parties agree that they should work more
closely.
Other than the EIS everything is progressing smoothly on the grant.
Item IV. C. Cash Flow Analysis of Park Bond Funds
The cash flow analysis will be done cooperatively between the Parks and
Recreation Department and Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and Peek's office. It
will be outlined on their computer and a running total of funds spent and
funds available will be included for individual sites as well as the entire
project. A copy of the spread sheet should be available for review at the
next PARAB meeting.

UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS ON THE COMMUNITY PARKS
Mr. Toni Peek, Community Park Consultant, of Wilson,
Miller, Barton, Soli & Peek, Inc. , stated that the Golden
Page 1
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
Gate park is ready to get under construction and should start
within a couple of weeks and North Naples park is about ready
except that he is waiting on some permits before he can clear
and he needs to have the rezone finalized by the BCC on
October 22, 1985. He noted that he is also waiting for some
feed-back from the South Florida Water Management District on
the permit that is awaiting the zoning. He stated that Part
I of Phase I is completed at the Immokalee park which is the
baseball field and associated items. He noted that Part II
of Immokalee will go to bid in approximately 2 weeks. He
indicated that with reference to Marco Island park he is
underway with design and he has been working on a layout and
schematic of the building and the design team is about to
make a recommendation. He reported that the design for the
East Naples park has been delayed because there is a need for
an environmental impact study on that site to make it work
with the constraints that has been put on the site, adding
that the construction dates for that site are unknown at this
time.
Mr. Burton questioned if construction on the Marco
Island park started according to the schedule in April and
finished 9 months later, would this be the construction of
the entire park or just the first phase, to which Mr. Peek
stated that this would be the entire park . Mr . Peek stated
that originally the construction of Marco park was going to
be split and the south half was going to be done as the first
phase, but when the East Naples park environmental problem
came up, efforts were shifted to Marco Island park to do the
entire park .
Mr . Price stated that he has received numerous
complimentary comments with reference to the completed
ballfield in Immokalee.
Mr. Monaco questioned why the differential in price
between Golden Gate and North Naples with reference to site
preparation and site electric, to which Mr. Peek indicated
that North Naples had more in site electric than Golden Gate
and the difference in the site preparation is that North
Naples had the extra due to the 1/4 mile entrance road.

DISCUSSION WITH REFERENCE TO SPLITTING THE INTEREST THAT IS
CURRENTLY BEING COLLECTED ON THE 5 COMMUNITY PARKS BOND MONEY
Deputy Assistant County Manager Brangaccio stated, with
reference to the $8 million bond money, the actual bond
proceeds was $7, 307, 347, noting that the other approximately
$600,000 was debt service. She stated that the actual
property purchases were $2, 438, 755 and the engineering fees,
according to contracts, are $823,032. She stated that
construction dollars that were used were estimates which
covers both past fiscal year and the present fiscal year.
She indicated that the site preparation for each park is the
only difference, adding that the BCC allocated the money five
ways after the sites were all brought up to standards. She
indicated that for everything this totals to $8,651, 287 with
the exception of the bond financing costs which were $ 384, 137
for a grand total of $9,035, 424. She noted that the revenue
during this same time is roughly $9, 065, 584 which shows that
the interest from the prior years is what has brought each
park site up to a million dollars apiece for construction.
She stated that the way the County budget is set up this
year, the only interest that is in question is this year ' s
starting October 1 , 1985, which is estimated to be $285, 202
and is budgeted as Reserves.
Mr. Burton stated that if one park is constructed before
any of the other parks are constructed that park would be
receiving one-fifth of the interest of all the other parks
money. he noted that it one park was completed up to the
last $100,000 and the money was sitting in the bank and
drawing interest for all the other parks that interest would
be split five ways which seems that it may be unfair.
Mrs. Brangaccio stated that this is something that needs
to be dealt with in the next few months, adding that Mr.
Vanatta is going to sit down with Finance to determine when
the money is going to be spent. She stated that Finance can
start allocating the interest when it is requested, adding
that it will not be done formally as all the county monies
are pooled cash. She stated that informally , Finance can
send a report to Parks & Recreation, adding that reports come
out 3 to 4 weeks after the end of the month. She stated that
Page 3
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
it is possible to have the interest set up separately for
each park , but there could be a disadvantage of making that a
tor, set policy as North Naples and Golden Gate will be exempt
from the road impact fees but the other parks will not be
exempt. She stated that the County is not exempt from their
own ordinances, adding that North Naples has received a bill
for $22, 000 for utility impact fees and there is only about
$5,000 left in the North Naples account which is at least
$15, 000 short. She stated that this is where the interest
money could be used if the million dollars has already been
spent. She noted that Golden Gate has a good opportunity for
a $50,000 grant, but it requires a $50,000 match. She stated
that this is another area where the interest money could be
used. She reported that the informal reports from Finance
will indicate how much money is being spent and what is left,
adding that she would like to have the flexibility of being
able to use the money that is in the reserve for capital for
something like a matching grant. She stated that this money
will not be spent overnight, it may be a 6 to 8 month period
and in that time, Golden Gate may earn $50,000 in interest
for the matching grant. She stated that she would like to
have the flexibility of being able to come back to the Parks
& Recreation Advisory Board and the BCC with a recommendation
as to how to utiliize that money.
Mr . Price stated that he agrees that there may be some
inequity in everyone splitting a fifth share, but the basics
need to be thought of, adding that the County is trying to
put together five community parks in terms of equal facili-
ties within the County. He stated that if North Naples has
to spend more money for the access road, then maybe they
should receive some extra money to end up with the same equal
facilities that the rest of the parks have.
Mr. Burton stated that the way he understood the split
was that after all the sites were brought up to an even
standard, then the rest of the money would be split evenly.
Mrs. Brangaccio stated that the BCC never commented on
the interest money, adding that she would not like to see
approximately $275,000 cause any delays in the parks.
Mr . Burton stated that when they decided on the Marco
Page 4
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
Island facilities, they were counting on grants and the
interest money to build the park that they envisioned, adding
that they did not expect that the plans for their park would
be handled as quickly as they have. He stated that it now
appears that all the parks are going to be built about the
same time, but originally he thought that the Marco Island
park would be the last one built. He noted that this whole
issue is not as important anymore.
She noted that she would like to have the flexibility,
so that if a park goes over their million dollars and they
need an additional $15, 000 or whatever, she would like to be
able to approach the necessary boards and ask for approval to
take this money from the Reserves to spent it at the park
that has gone over budget. She stated that any Change Order
over $2, 000 has to receive BCC approval and before anything
is spent, it could be contingent upon coming to the Parks &
Recreation Advisory Board for approval.
Mr. Burton questioned if a grant of $50,000 is received
and the County matched it with $ 50,000, would the $100, 000
40.
have to be spent at one particular park or could it be split
-*00i
up five ways, to which Mrs. Brangaccio stated that in order
to keep the grant it has to be shown that $100,000 worth of
building was done at that particular site.
Mr. Monaco stated that he would not like to see the
Parks & Recreation Advisory Board implanted in an inflexible
position where the funds were there and they were delineated
for a certain area and not available to take if the need
really existed in another area. He stated that it has to be
looked at as a community situation.
Mr. Price stated that he would agree with Mr. Monaco and
the County-wide system as a whole needs to be thought of in
terms of equal facilities.
Mrs. Brangaccio stated that Deltona will impose a
utility impact fee on the Marco Island park and no one knows
how much that will be yet.
Mr. Peek stated that the utility impact fee thaL Deltona
is going to impose is not all covered, because since the
original estimate was made there has been a rate increase and
the whole system has gone under the Public Service Commission
Page 5
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
jurisdiction rather than the County jurisdiction.
Mr. Burton questioned what problems there are with the
East Naples park, to which Mr . Peek stated that in 1984 a new
state law went into effect that put a different control on
certain wetland property and a determination by DER says that
there is some of this wetland area within the East Naples
park. He stated that until it is determined exactly what the
extent or the impact is on the Master Plan, the design of the
Master Plan cannot go forward. He stated that indications
are that there will have to be a major revision of the Master
Plan in order to accommodate the newly controlled wetland
areas. he stated that he feels that an understanding will be
reached within the next 60 days.
Mrs. Brangaccio stated that she will have to break out a
cash flow projection as to how the money is going to be spent
over the next year adding that, at that point, she will have
to go to the BCC with some sort of recommendation regarding
flexibility.
Mr . Price stated that Mrs. Brangaccio could come back
with a recommendation to the Parks & Recreation Advisory
Board based on the feelings that were obtained from the Board
this date.
Mr . Burton stated that he feels that the whole board
should be present before they make any final recommendation.
Mr. Monaco stated that they would postpone any decision
until the next meeting and Mrs. Brangaccio could come back
with a recommendation at that time.
SOFTBALL FIELD RESERVATION POLICY — RECOMMENDATION OF
APPROVAL TO FORWARD POLICY TO BCC
Parks & Recreation Director Vanatta stated that the Fair
Labor Standards Acts has reflected upon the softball
tournaments, adding that in the past time was given off
during the week if someone had to work a tournament on the
weekend. he noted that this cannot be done any longer and
time and a half rates have to be paid, therefore, some sort
of policy needed to be established because there are a lot of
tournament requests coming in. He referred to a policy that
he prepared, adding that with reference to the fees of $10.00
a game, labor costs were taken into consideration at time and
Page 6
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
a half to arrive at $10. 00 a game.
Mr. Price moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried
unanimously, that the softball field reservation policy be
recommended for approval and forwarded to the BCC.
GENERAL DISCUSSION
Parks & Recreation Director Vanatta stated that Mr.
Monaco' s term expires in December and he should be receiving
a letter within the next 30 days indicating such, adding that
he should be thinking about whether or not he wants to remain
on the Board.
Mr. Bob Chrisowski stated that he has an interest in the
development of the five community parks, adding that several
weeks ago he attended a meeting with the group that is
designing the parks. He stated that he and Gary Patterson of
the Native Plant Society addressed the issue of the selection
of the plants for the community parks. He stated that some
of these plants have a poor chance of surviving and some of
them are experimental . He noted that suggestions were made
and the design group used some of their suggestions and other
suggestions were rejected . He stated that he is concerned
about this whole matter.
Mr . Burton stated that the County has hired a landscape
architect and it really does not fall under the Parks &
Recreation Advisory Board' s authority.
Mr. Peek stated that there was a meeting held with Mr.
Chrisowski and mr . Petterson to let them air their concerns.
He stated that after a number of meetings with Charlie
Lowery, Chris Anderson, John Simons, and the operational
staff , plants were selected. He noted that some of the
suggestions of Mr . Patterson and Mr . Chrisowski were accepted
and some were rejected. He noted that there are not new
plants being used, some of the plants are non-native plants
and by using them in this particular setting , it would be
experimental as far as if they survive.
Mr. Monaco stated that he would suggest that whoever the
landscape expert is, that he appear at the next meeting.
IC: Mr. Price stated that he feels that it may be a waste of
time as the County has hired experts in that field and he
does not believe that he will benefit from such a discussion.
Page 7
• w
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OCTOBER 17, 1985
He noted that these people should talk with the experts that
were hired by the County and, whatever the decision, the PRAB
should go with the decision of the experts that were hired by
A*000,
the County.
Mr . Burton stated that he agrees with Mr . Price 100%,
adding that the PRAB should go along with the experts that
were hired by the County.
Mr. Chrisowski stated that he requested that he be
allowed to sit in at the other design meetings for the other
parks and they were refused.
Mr. Peek stated that the design team meetings are not
open to the public, adding that they are work sessions. He
stated that when he learned there was a concern, these people
were invited and they spent two hours with them going over
designs, but not all their suggestions were used and they are
still making their complaints known.
Mr . Monaco stated that if he is coming to the meeting
with a question, it has to be stated as to what the question
is and why he is concerned and then possibly the concerns can
be addressed.
Mr. Price stated that because the design team did not
use 100% of his suggestions, Mr. Chrisowski still feels he
has a complaint. He stated that he feels as long as the
design team listened to him and accepted some of his recom-
mendations, that is all that can be expected. He stated that
everybody has an opinion and they all have to work together.
Mr . Monaco stated that if there is a valid complaint,
then it should be voiced in definitive terms and it will be
made part of the record, but at this time it seems that it is
a general complaint. He stated that if he still has a
complaint he should come back with specifics on the matter.

SUBJECT: Immokalee Community Park, Phase 1, Part 2, bid award of 8'
high perimeter chain link fence
On October 30, 1985, bids were received for fencing the entire perimeter of
Immokalee Community Park.
Four bids were submitted with Century Fence of Cape Coral supplying the low
bid of $24,235. Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and Peek researched the
references and received positive recommendations. On November 12, 1985, the
Board of County Commissioners approved this and Notice to Proceed was given
on November 14th.
This matter was not brought to the PARAB prior to Commission approval due to
the time frame involved, security for the park and the desire of County
management to construct the fence. If staff had presented it to the PARAB it
would have created considerable delay.
This fence was to be included in the second part of Phase I, however, due to
reasons listed above this item was bid in a separate package. I have
attached a bid tabulation sheet for your review and information.
