Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried una-
nimously, that the minutes of October 16, 1986, be approved as
11 1,,,4 presented.
INTRODUCTION OF NEW PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR - CLIFFORD
CRAWFORD
Public Services Administrator O' Donnell introduced the new
Parks & Recreation Director Cliff Crawford, noting that he
started work on October 27, 1986, and was the Parks & Recreation
Director in Winter Haven, Florida, prior to coming to Collier
County. He stated that he has a BA and Master Degree in Parks &
Recreation.
UPDATE OF COMMUNITY PARKS
Mr . Peek of Wilson, Miller , Barton, Boll & Peek, Inc. , indi-
cated that the Golden Gate Community Park is coming along well,
adding that it needs to be paved, and the sitework finishes
completed. He stated that North Naples is in a similar phase and
as soon as the contractor finishes at Golden Gate, he will move
to North Naples. He noted that Immokalee was moving along very
well, but it was thought that there would be a potential delay
due to an easement agreement with Lee County Electric
Page 2
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 20, 1986
Cooperative, but it appears that this has been worked out and is
on the agenda for the next BCC meeting. He indicated that the
work on the Marco Island park has started and sitework is well
underway with the work on building foundations and underground
utilities in progress. He stated that with regards to the East
Naples park, various permits are being processed with the Army
Corps of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, and South
Florida Water Management District, adding that they are waiting
for those permits to be acted on. He stated that construction
would probably begin sometime in March, 1987.
Mr . Burton questioned why the landscaping and irrigation
contract has not been signed for the Marco Island park, to which
Mr . O' Donnell stated that there are some legal problems with
that. He noted that all the contracts were approved by the BCC
prior to the County Attorney' s office reviewing them and there
was language in them that the County Attorney objected to dealing
with liability. He noted that the County Attorney is in the pro-
cess of trying to resolve these problems which is why the
contract has not been signed and executed.
WINTER RECREATION PROGRAMS
Ms. Marilyn McGinty stated that in January, recreation
programs will be offered throughout the County.
Public Services Administrator O' Donnell stated that this is
simply a report to keep the members updated on some of the
programs that are being offered throughout the County.
UPDATE OF BEACH FACILITY PARKING FEES
Public Services Administrator O' Donnell stated that a letter
was sent to Commissioner Pistor from the Marco Island Taxpayers
Association objecting to a per person charge. He stated that a
$10 . 00 seasonal charge was initiated which is for individuals.
He stated that a card has been made up and four are issued to a
family, adding that this is shown at the gate and the attendant
allows them in and charges nothing for parking. He stated that
there is a nominal charge if the family exceeds four . He stated
that the charge without this seasonal ticket will be $. 75 per
person from November 1 to April 30 . He presented a list showing
the revenues for Tigertail Beach parking facility, adding that
the money that is earned does not have a direct relation to the
parking. He stated that after all expenses were deducted,
Tigertail provides about $15 ,000 additional monies.
In answer to Mr . Burton, Public Services Administrator
O' Donnell stated that there is a significant amount of walk-in
Page 3

i
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 20 , 1986
0 traffic. He stated that he is trying to rely on more user fees
than he is property tax fees.
Mr . Crawford stated that when the budget was structured, part
of the responsiblity of the department was to generate certain
types of revenues so that the property taxes would not have to be
increased.
Mr . Burton questioned if other facilities in the area were
being considered for revenue generation, to which Mr . O' Donnell
replied affirmatively, adding that Clam Pass is one of them, as
well as Bayview Park, 951 Boatramp and Vanderbilt Beach.
Mr . Stevens stated that he is against charging taxpayers for
the use of their own facilities that they are already paying for .
Mr . Burton stated that he cannot see having to pay to walk on
the beach if one is a local taxpayer , adding that people are
going to start parking on the roads and cutting through the con-
dominium yards to get to the beach, which may cause more of a
problem.
Mr . Loubier stated that they are in the process of investi-
gating several different methods and permitting, but nothing
final has been decided.
Mr . Stevens stated that he could understand charging people
to park, but not charging people that walk through that area to
get to the beach.
Mr . Smith stated that the consideration of putting a charge
on people walking through the area to the beach was considered
because a lot of people were parking their cars on the outside
and walking in, so they did not have to pay anything and there
were a lot of complaints from the residents of Marco Island
because of the traffic that was parked all over the roads.
Mr . Burton stated that if there was a 10 , 000 car parking lot
on Marco Island at certain times of the year it would be full and
people will still park on the outside. He stated that if one
lives on Marco and they have to pay to get in, they are
discouraging the youth from using the beaches.
Mr . Monaco stated that this issue is apparently raising some
public interest and possibly, by the next meeting, there may be
some answers to these questions.
Mr . Burton indicated that it may be cheaper to pay the fee
for a year and go to the resident beach.

PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 20, 1986
There was general discussion as to what constitutes a resi-
dent versus seasonal people and taxpayers .
PRINTING OF BROCHURE
Ms. Marilyn McGinty stated that recreation programs will be
advertised by a printed brochure and will be inserted into the
Naples Daily News on January 5 , 1987. She stated that this was
put out for bid on November 13 , 1986 , and bid opening will be
December 2 , 1986 .
Mr . Burton questioned if non-residents are charged more for
these programs than residents, to which Ms. McGinty replied nega-
tively. Mr . Burton indicated that if the County is looking for
additional revenue, it may be possible to charge non-residents
more for these programs than residents.
DISCUSSION OF CONTRACTUAL INSTRUCTOR' S CONTRACTS
Ms. McGinty stated with reference to contractual instructors ,
the people that are hired for the programs that are given are
done so on a contract basis for the length of the program, which
is usually 6 to 8 weeks .
Mr . O' Donnell stated that the fees that are generated for
the program pays for the instructor and his supplies.
CHANGE ORDERS FOR GOLDEN GATE AND IMMOKALEE COMMUNITY PARKS IN
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $8,864 . 36 FOR INSTALLATION OF PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT - RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Mr . Murdo Smith stated that a Change Order has been submitted
for the Golden Gate and Immokalee Community parks for McGovern to
install playground equipment, adding that the price that McGovern
gave is a good one as he did a cost analysis and for the depart-
ment to install it themselves after they purchased it, would cost
approximately the same but their other work would lag behind. He
stated that there is money in the contingency available for this
equipment.
Mr. Stevens moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried unani-
mously, that the Change Orders for Golden Gate and Immokalee
Community Parks in the total amount of $8,864 . 36 for installation
of playground equipment be recommended for approval.
CHANGE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,035 FOR INSTALLATION OF A
SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR THE EXISTING SOFTBALL FIELD AT IMMOKALEE
COMMUNITY PARK AND TRANSFER $17 ,500 FROM PARKS AND RECREATION CIP
TO IMMOKALEE PARK TO COVER COSTS OF RENOVATIONS OF THE SOFTBALL
FIELD - RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL
Page 5
PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD NOVEMBER 20 , 1986
Mr . Smith stated that this is a Change Order to install a
sprinkler system at the existing softball field in Immokalee. He
stated that Sunnygrove Landscaping is currently working at the
community park in Immokalee and he asked him for an estimate to
install this sprinkler system. He noted that the field is in bad
need of renovation. He stated that upon review of the prices of
the installation of the sprinkler system and reviewing the cost
of rebidding this project, the cost difference could be minimal at
best. He noted that this is only one part of the renovation work
4 and $17,500 will be needed to complete the budgeted renovations
which will be transferred from the CIP to the Immokalee park.

Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Burton and carried una-
1 nimously, that the Change Order in the amount of $5,035 for
i installation of a sprinkler system for the existing softball
field at Immokalee Community Park and transfer of $17,500 from
Parks and Recreation CIP to Immokalee Park to cover costs of
renovations of the softball field be recommended for approval.
FRANK E MACKLE, JR. PARK RECREATION BUILDING TO COMPLY WITH CLASS
"C" OF THE LIFE SAFETY CODE AND SAID BUILDING TO BE LIMITED TO 300
PEOPLE UNLESS SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE WITH FIRE OFFICIALS
FOR CERTAIN EVENTS - RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Mr . Bob Furlong of Wilson, Miller , Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. ,
stated that this item is in reference to the sprinkler system at
the Frank E. Mackle, Jr . Park recreation building, adding that a
decision needs to be made as to the intended use of the building.
He stated that if a sprinkler system is needed, it will cost
approximately $23 , 000 .
Mr . Jeff Hassell, electrical consulting enegineer , stated that the
occupant load is determined by the use of the use and the square
footage of that area of use. He stated that it all comes down to the
amount of people that will be using the building and what the building
I will be used for .
1
Mr . Burton indicated that the intended use of the building
was to hold meetings and he does not feel that there would be
more than 300 people in the building at a given time, adding that
it was designed for 250 people.
***** Mr . Monaco left the meeting at this time. *****
Mr . Crawford stated that if this room is designed as a
meeting room and there happens to be a dance held there, someone
would have to make special arrangements with the fire officials
and there could also be a sign displayed that indicates the capa-
city of the building.

4:› Mr . Hassell stated that with the location of the fire alarm
that will be in the building and the location of the exits, there
would be ample time for everyone to clear the building in case of
a fire.
After a general discussion, Mr . McQuillin moved, seconded by
Mr . Stevens and carried 3/0, that the Frank E. Mackle, Jr . Park

the Golden Gate Park, indicating that it would be a 6, 000 square
foot building with a 3 , 000 square foot meeting room and admi-
nistrative offices. He noted that it is a one-story building and
he is looking for conceptual approval from the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board. He stated that he is meeting with the architects
on a weekly basis. He stated that there is $100 , 000 to build
this building and landscape it. He stated that they will dress
it up as much as possible as they want something that is con-
ducive to the area.

In preparing this resume for a possible opening on the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board, I realize that I live two blocks north
of the District 1 boundary line. I feel it is important:and whoever
reviews this resume should know that my wife and I own a lot on
Sheffield Dr. on Marco Island and we have plans to build our home on
said lot probably in the fall of 1987.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO : Kevin O'Donnell , Public Services Administrator
DFROM: Cliff Crawford , Parks and Recreation Director
DATE : December 16 , '1986
SUBJECT : Beach Policy
There have been considerable discussions and interest relative to
the fee structure for use of beaches operated by Collier County
Parks and Recreation Department . We have attempted to provide an
approach to fees and charges which would be equitable to the people
who help pay for those services through their ad valorem tax
dollars. The current fiscal year 1986/87 general fund budget is
$43,634,678, $26,354 ,476 (or 60%) is generated from ad valorem
taxes. A County resident then pays 60% more than does a non-County
resident for services received . The proposed fee structure takes
that into account .
PHILOSOPHY
The fees are initiated for beach operations to control use of that
facility , to assist in off-setting the account of the County Parks
and Recreation areas, and to project an image of fiscal
responsibility .
III BEACH CLASSIFICATIONS
Beach Cateqory 1 - A beach area with improved beach facilities,
including rest rooms , concessions , parking and rentals or other
support facilities and amenities .
Beach Cateqory 2 - A beach area with improved parking facilities
only .

Beach Cateqory 3 - A County beach with access only.
BEACH CATEGORIES
Cateqory 1 - Tigertail and Clam Pass.
Cateqory 2 - Vanderbilt , Lely Barefoot , Horizon Way and Seagate .
Category 3 - South Collier Blvd access.

REPORT REQUESTED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REGARDING THE
PROGRAMMING OF ACTIVITIES AT WINTERBERRY PARK ON MARCO ISLAND
Objective : To rev i ew current opera ti on of park usage especially at
night for Winterberry Park (Marco Island) and recommend alternatives
as requested by the Board of County Commissioners on December 9,
1986 .
Considerations: The Deltona Corporation of Marco Island donated
$76, 195 .00 to be used for the lighting of Winterberry Field which is
a combination softball , baseball , football and soccer field . The
bid for lighting of the field was awarded to Mid-Continent Electric
on November 13 , 1984 for $84 ,640 .00 . Additional funds needed to
complete the project came from the general fund . Winterberry field
officially opened in May , 1985 .
The residents of Marco Island have stated concern with :
A) The light that is reflected from the fixtures at
Winterberry field ,
B) The noise created from participation on the field .
C) The increase of vandalism in the neighborhood near
Winterberry field .
Our records indicate that the lights have been installed properly
1,- and on December 12 , 1985 an inspection was done due to the
residents' concern of the brightness of the lights . (See attachment
A) .
Lt . Byron Tomlinson of Marco Sheriff 's Sub Station has informed Jim
Thomas , Athletic Supervisor , that he has not received any complaints
from local residents in regards to loud noises nor vandalism in the
Winterberry area . Furthermore , Lt . Tomlinson informed -Jim Thomas
that :
1> The sheriff 's department has not had a call about troubles
or problems from residents since the field opened ,
2) There has been no traffic violations in the area and
3) The County Parks & Recreation maintenance crew has not
reported any vandalism since the field opened .
General Information :
A. User groups and approximate dates & times of usage :
1 . Collier County Parks & Recreation Mens Softball

Total : 490
4. Scheduling Alternatives : Scheduling alternatives could be made
for the Collier County Parks & Recreation Mens Softball League
which is the largest users group that utilizes Winterberry
field . Suggested scheduling alternatives are as follows:
^ A. Reduce the number of games played: Reduce for next season
�- �
�m� the number of games played at Winterberry Field from 4
nights a week to 2 nights a week . This is possible due to
the opening of Golden Gate Community Park — Santa Barbara
Blvd . and North Naples Community Park .
IMPACT:
1 . This will eliminate approximately 90 games played per .
season on Winterberry field or 30 night uses . Currently
there are a total of 194 night uses per year on the
Winterberry field .
2. It will decrease sales to local businesses on Marco
Island , particularly at the fast food and convenient
, stores . Approximately 450 players visit the island at
least once per week during the Men 's Softball Season .
(Based upon 30 players per game x 3 games per night x 5
nights per week . )
3. With less use on Winterberry field , vandalism can
potentially increase with accompanying maintenance
costs .
i B. Extract lights and eliminate the use of Winterberry field:
All Winterberry adult men ' s softball games could be
rescheduled in either Golden Gate Community Park (Santa
— Barbara Blvd) or North Naples Community Park .
'
IMPACT:
411 1 . To extract lights from Winterberry field would cost
$17,000 .00 . (Estimate received from Mid Continent
Electric . ) The cost includes digging poles and concrete •
pods out of ground . Each pod is approximately 2 feet
thick around pole base with rebar running through the
concrete for reinforcement . The cost also includes
filling in holes and leveling .
2 . To eliminate the use of Winterberry field and scheduled
all softball games at the new community parks would
greatly reduce the field availability to youth
organizations and clubs . Field availability for youth
baseball programs are restricted to Winterberry field .
Winterberry field is currently the only lighted baseball
field in the Naples area under Collier County
Jurisdiction . The differences between the baseball
field at Winterberry and the softball fields at the new
community parks are as follows : Winterberry baseball
field is 90' between bases as required for a baseball
field and the bases at the new community parks are 65'
feet as required for softball fields . The fencing for
baseball require a minimum of 400' and the maximum
available feet at the new community park is 300' .
3. By extracting lights from Winterberry field , a precedent
will be set for other lighted fields near residential
areas . For example , Golden Gate Community Park - Santa
Barbara Blvd . is located near a residential area and the
field will also contain lights . Residents may object to
the lights and request the lights also be removed .
Recommendations: Staff recommends scheduling alternative #1 . In
addition to the mpact being more favorable then the imfDact of
alternative 2 , use of the new community parks will be geographically
located for softball participants . This will reduce the number of
people traveling to and from Marco Island in the adult league .

On November 26, 1985, Jeff Hassell, the project lighting engineer,
accompanied me to inspect the lights at Winterberry ballfield. This `
inspection was conducted due to the
e concerns
siofttthe residents surrounding the
ballfield because of the brightness c
This inspection was in response to a received
lights. We began the inspection by obtaining o se eeivdnoufthd
then' n both parking lots. We then proceeded to drive around the area and
measure foot candle ratings at various locations. One area that we inspected
was a Mr. Buckner's residence on S. Heathwood which is approximately 2 blocks
from the field and the measurement was taken from thexstreet. .25 found foot
the foot candle level of light in this area was pp
candle. Jeff stated that candle power from a street light would he in the
range of 2 to 2.5 foot candles and the reading would have to be taken close
to the street light in order to achieve the 2 or 2.5 reading.

The street with the highest light levil6around thetballpark wassiPeacockations
Terrace. The reading there was bet
along the street. However, once you moved away from the field the light
levels diminshed quite rapidly.
Our findings were that one or two blocks away from the field the foot candle
rating was minimal. However, if you did look up to the lights the glare can
be seen from some distance and we felt that was the main concern. Jeff
indicated that all the lights seem to be aimed correctly on to the field.
If I can he of any further assistance, please advise.
