MINUTES OF MARCH 19, 1987 - APPROVED AS PRESENTED
Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried una-
nimously, that the minutes of the March 19, 1987 minutes be
approved as presented.
UPDATE OF COMMUNITY PARKS
Mr . Tom Peek, Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soil & Peek, Inc . ,
stated they are the Consulting Engineers hired to oversee the
design of the community parks. He stated that the Immokalee and
Golden Gate Parks are completed and in operation and the North
Naples and Marco Island Parks are scheduled to be complete in
June.
Mr. Peek stated that the North Naples Park is nearing comple-
tion and the landscaper will be on site soon. He said the Marco
Island Park is also coming along nicely with the interior of the
buildings being finished, the basketball area is being covered
and the parking lots were being paved earlier this week.
Mr . Peek stated that there had been a little problem with the
bond for the landscape contract , however, the bond problem has
been settled and there will be no delays.
Mr. Peek stated the East Naples Park is still awaiting a
final permit . He said word has been received from the SFWMD that
the permit request will be heard at the May meeting. He added
Page 2
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD APRIL 9, 1987
that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers will be taking action at
their April meeting. He stated the location of the East Naples
Park is on Thomasson Drive adjacent to Avalon School . He said
this park utilizes 7 acres of School Board property.
In answer to Mr. Burton, Mr . Hayward Boyce of Wilson, Miller,
Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. , stated that the landscape contractor
produced the bid bond necessary to qualify his bid and since the
time the bid was awarded and the Performance Bond had to be
supplied, the contractor changed insurance companies. He said
the new insurance company has required a full audit of his books
and that should be completed soon. Mr . Boyce stated that in the
interim the contractor has met with County Staff and the County
Attorney' s Office and a recommendation will be brought before the
BCC that under the circumstances, the following compromise be
made:
1 . The landscape contractor will supply a Letter
of Credit in an amount sufficient to cover the
job.
2 . The Performance Bond be furnished before the end
of the contract .
3 . If the Performance Bond is not furnished before
the end of the contract , the Contractor will
forfeit 50 of the original contract amount , which
is more than sufficient to cover the cost of the
bond within the bid.
4 . 10% of the contract amount will be retained by
the County until completion of the contract .
Mr. Burton stated that this is another case where the County
is not being fair to the other bidders. He stated that the
contractor entered into the bidding process knowing that the
Performance Bond was a requirement to qualify as a bidder and
when the time comes to produce that bond, he cannot . He stated
the end result is that the County is giving the contract to a
bidder who does not meet the requirements.
A lengthy discussion followed on whether a Letter of Credit
is sufficient guarantee in lieu of a Performance Bond and Mr .
Boyce stated that the bond will be supplied, however, due to cir-
cumstances it will be late. Mr . Burton stated that his only
point is the irregular bid procedures the County goes through are
wrong and there are a lot of qualified bidders that did not bid
this job because they knew they could not produce the Performance
Bond.

DISCUSSION OF FUTURE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Mr . Dan Loubier, Parks & Recreation Coordinator , advised that
the State of Florida has passed legislation that all Counties and
Municipalities must adopt a new Comprehensive Plan in 1988 and
this plan must be realistic, as well as economically feasible.
He said that everything the County says they are going to do in
this Comprehensive Plan must be done within the time frames
instituted.
Mr . Loubier stated that there have been many meetings with
the Collier County Planning Citizens Advisory Committee and many
hours of work which have gone into the Capital Improvement
Element for the new Comprehensive Plan and advised that Parks &
Recreation is only one item within this element . He stated that
they began by listing all current facilities, listing all facili-
ties they would like to have and began working from there. He
stated the original "wish list" has been cut from 110 million
dollars to 19 million dollars.
Mr . Loubier stated that they have based the entire plan
around the community park concept . Parks & Recreation Director
Crawford advised Mr . Thomas that he may review the complete ana-
lysis and the process used at Parks Office.
Mr . Loubier then went through a detailed list of facilities,
projections, and calculations on the Phase I recommendations.
Mr . Tom Peek, CCPCCAC Subcommittee Chairman of the Parks &
Recreation Element , advised that the CAC task is to make recom-
mendations relative to the level of service to be provided. He
noted that Fleischman Park is the model for the Community Park
System being used as a basic philosophy. Mr. Peek also gave
examples of calculations used.
In answer to Mr . Thomas, Mr . Peek stated that the standards
being used are somewhat lower than the national or state stan-
dards. He explained, however, that the calculations only repre-
sent Collier County' s share of Parks & Recreation Facilities and
any other state, national, municipality, or private facilities
are in addition to what appears on the chart presented. Mr . Peek
also explained that this Plan is not something that is looked at
only once every 5 years, but carries the requirement of yearly
updates.
Mr. Thomas moved, seconded by Mr. McQuillin and carried una-
nimously, that the Parks & Recreation component of the Capital
Improvement Element be recommended for approval.

PETITION R-86-24C, PAVILION LAKES, REQUESTING CASH PAYMENT IN
LIEU OF PARKS DEDICATION
Planner Cacchione explained the procedure existing within the
current Comprehensive Plan and the Point Rating System to deter-
mine density. She explained that if a Developer dedicates a park
site, he receives points for a higher density within the develop-
ment . She also explained the calculations involved with the park
requirement and stated the criteria used is 2 acres per 1 , 000 of
population.
Ms. Cacchione stated that the County dedication criteria for
acceptance is at least 5 acres because of problems and costs
involved with maintenance on very small parcels. She stated that
because the required size of the project park site is not always
large enough to meet the dedication criteria, Developers have the
option of paying a fee in lieu of dedication of a parcel of land
when the parcel required is less than 5 acres. She stated that
this is the situation with this petition.
Ms. Cacchione stated that the fee is then based on the amount
of park site required for the project by population and the
market value of the land. She advised that the payment is then
tied directly to the building permits.
Ms. Cacchione advised that Pavilion Lakes is 15 . 678 acres
located south of Naples Park and west of the Pavilion Shopping
Center. She said the property is zoned RMF-6 and the Petitioner
is requesting a PUD at 10 units per acre. She stated that based
on the standards, they would need a . 78 acre site for a total
payment of $70, 200 .00 She added that the Petitioner has not
requested any credit for recreational facilities being provided
on the site .
A lengthy discussion followed on the criteria for the size of
the park site vs. the criteria for dedication. Ms. Cacchione
advised that the money collected from the developer must be held
in a trust and be earmarked for the immediate needs of the resi-
dents of this particular development or for improvement of other
existing parks which already serve those needs. She stated that
if the money is not spent within seven years it will be forwarded
to the Parks & Recreation Department ' s general operating budget .
Mr. Burton noted that the PRAB can make a recommendation to
the Board of County Commissioners on how this money should be
used.
Mr. Thomas moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried 4/1
(Mr. McQuillin opposed) , that a payment of $70, 200.00 be accepted
Page 5
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD APRIL 9, 1987
from Petition R-86-24C, "Pavilion Lake" in lieu of a park site
dedication.
DISCUSSION OF CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Planner Cacchione advised that the current Comprehensive Plan
is the in the process of being amended. She stated that due to
the shift in focus from neighborhood parks to community parks in
the new Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Staff has recommended to
the CCPC that the neighborhood park calculation be deleted from
the current Comprehensive Plan.
Ms . Cacchione stated that the current section on neighborhood
parks is not written as well as the other sections and it seems
to be causing problems. She stated that at first Staff recom-
mended deletion until the new plan is adopted in 1988 . She
advised that at the CCPC Workshop it was felt that some provision
for parks needs to remain for the interim period and there is a
need within individual developments.
Ms. Cacchione advised that Staff agreed to review this sec-
tion again and there are a number of options to be considered.
She requested PRAB to discuss this section of the current
Comprehensive Plan and give their recommendations to Staff for
presentation to the CCPC .
Parks & Recreation Coordinator Loubier stated that Staff will
be meeting to brainstorm the options available and those options
will be presented to the PRAB. He stated that the Parks Staff
must do this in conjunction with the Planning Department Staff to
insure the options remain within the constraints of the Planning
Department . He advised there is a Public Hearing scheduled
before the CCPC on this amendment on May 7 , 1987 .
Ms. Cacchione advised that the process consists of a public
hearing before the CCPC, a public hearing before the BCC, State
and Regional review and then another public hearing before the
BCC .
County Attorney Cuyler advised the PRAB that they should
address the question of whether the money being received is
serving the purpose for which it is intended, is it serving the
neighborhood park system and/or would it better serve the new
focus on the community park system? In answer to Mr . Thomas,
Mr . Cuyler stated that the County needs to determine if they want
to serve the neighborhood park function and if they do, do they
need to take smaller amounts of property into consideration? He
also advised that PRAB should be reviewing the basis for
assigning a monetary value to the land. In answer to Mr .
Page 6
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD APRIL 9, 1987
Loubier, Mr. Cuyler stated that the land must be in the hands of
the County to insure that it is maintained.
Mr. Cuyler also stated that PRAB should remember that they
are not taking anything away from the Developer, since providing
a park site does not enter the picture until the Developer
requests more density. He added that it is also very important
that PRAB review neighborhood parks, their facilities, and what
the developments need.
Mr. Thomas stated every development should have some type of
recreational facilities to supplement the ones managed by the
County. He stated his feelings that the language in the
Comprehensive Plan needs to be changed to address this issue for
every development and not just when a developer wants more
density. In answer to Mr . Thomas, Mr. Cuyler stated that
currently recreational amenities go into a development because
of the marketplace and not because they are required.
In answer to Mr. Burton, Mr. Cuyler stated that this
situation is not the developer ' s fault since they are following
County regulations on a very complex issue. He stated that maybe
the County needs a neighborhood parks system.
DISCUSSION OF EASTER EGG HUNT AND DROP - SPECIAL EVENT
Recreation Program Director McGinty advised that an Easter
Egg Hunt and Drop will be held at the Golden Gate Community Park
on Saturday, April 11 , 1987 which is being sponsored by the P & R
in conjunction with McDonalds. She stated that Mr. Easter Bunny
will be parachuting onto the football field at 10 : 30 a.m. She
said there will be 10,000 plastic eggs which the children will
turn in for McDonalds ' certificates, small toys and candy.
Ms. McGinty advised there will also be a magician, face
painting, crayon coloring and photographs with the Easter Bunny.
She added that the Parks & Recreation Department will be doing
the photographs and charging only enough to cover the cost .
Ms. McGinty also advised that the Golden Gate Kiwanis Club
and Boy Scout Troop #58 of Golden Gate will be providing crowd
control . She stated that Florida Choice of Golden Gate and East
Naples has donated candy, and K-Mart donated $30 for the purchase
of special prizes.
In answer to Mr. Burton, Ms. McGinty stated the Parks &
Recreation Department spent approximately $400 on plastic eggs
and they will be reused each year .

DISCUSSION OF RECREATION SUPERVISOR POSITION
Recreation Program Director McGinty advised that 65 applica-
tions for the Recreation Supervisor position were received and 8
applicants were interviewed. She advised that Ms. Julie Thompson
was the best qualified for the position. She said she is from
Cape Coral , a Florida State Graduate with 5% years experience in
recreation programming.
Ms. McGinty stated that Ms. Thompson is very qualified in the
areas of program planning, special events and marketing of
programs, which are the areas most in need. She stated that the
entry level salary on this position is $17 , 800 . 00 and the Parks &
Recreation Department has recommended that she be hired at 10%
over the entry level . She also advised that Ms. Thompson is
taking a reduction in pay, even at the $19, 500 . 00 per year recom-
mended.
DISCUSSION OF NEXT ISSUE OF "LEISURE LINE" TABLOID
Recreation Program Director McGinty displayed a copy of the
new cover of Leisure Line. She stated that the tabloid will
appear in the insert of the Naples Daily News. Mr . Thomas
requested that they look into placing this in the Ft . Myers New
Press, since this is the more popular paper in Immokalee .
*** RECESS AT 11 : 15 P 'a! RECONVENED AT 11 : 40 A.M. ***
CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN FOR LELY BAREFOOT BEACH - RECOMMENDED FOR
APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Coordinator Loubier displayed a map
depicting the southern 3 , 100 linear feet of Lely Barefoot Beach.
He outlined the area to the north of this parcel showing the
County' s parking lot . He advised that this plan was presented
to the Save Our Coast Committee and there should be some word
shortly as to where this project ranks on their list .
Mr . Loubier advised that $156 , 000 is proposed for parking
lots, restrooms, dune crossovers, nature trails, off-street
parking, and an observation tower . He stated that 70% of the
site is upland and most of it is being utilized for canoe trails.
He stated the entire site is being utilized for passive
recreation.
Mr . Crawford stated that since the time the proposal was sub-
mitted to Save Our Coast Committee there has been another deve-
lopment . He said that it does not appear that SOC can take
action until May and in the interim Lely has received a cash
Page 8
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD APRIL 9 , 1987
offer for the purchase of the property. He said that Staff is
requesting a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners
as to what action they should take. He explained that when the
original purchase proposal was made there was a 30 decision
period with a deadline of April 24 , 1987 . He advised that if the
County does not make their decision before that time Lely can
exercise their right to accept the offer from the private deve-
loper .
In answer to Mr. Stevens, Mr. Crawford outlined the history
of this section of Lely Barefoot Beach and stated that the total
purchase price is 3 . 1 million dollars.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that he has a copy of the sales
contract offered to Lely for the beach property. He said the
contract is from a Mr . Zand. He stated that he assumes it is an
arms length transaction and it is something the Board of County
Commissioners will have to consider . He also advised that the
County has already committed 1 million dollars to this purchase.
Mr. Crawford stated that Staff feels it is a viable and vital
project addressing the need of beach access and beach use in
Collier County. He also noted the new Comprehensive Plan will
state that more beach access is needed and this is a unique piece
of property. In answer to Mr . Burton, Mr. Crawford stated the
County was told there was a contract being submitted. He said
the developer is within his rights to accept the other offer if
the County does nothing before the deadline and the County will
be out of the picture .
Mr. Thomas moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried unani-
mously, that the Board of County Commissioners take whatever
steps are necessary, such as placing money down on the purchase,
or buying the property outright, to guarantee purchase of the
south 3, 100 linear feet of Lely Barefoot Beach before the April
24, 1987 agreement deadline.
DISCUSSION OF FISCAL YEAR 1987/88 BUDGET PROCESS
Parks & Recreation Coordinator Loubier stated that the Parks
& Recreation Department is in the process of drafting the 1987/88
budget and as soon as there is something concrete, it will be
presented to the PRAB.
CHANGE ORDER FOR NORTH NAPLES COMMUNITY PARK - PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION - RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Supervisor Smith stated that this request
is for a Change Order to the McGovern Construction Contract in
Page 9
PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD APRIL 9, 1987
the amount of $4, 377 . 33 for the installation of playground equip-
ment . He stated that McGovern Construction installed the
playground equipment at both the Golden Gate and Immokalee
Community Parks.
In answer to Mr . Stevens, Mr. Smith stated that this was not
requested on the original bids since it was felt that Staff could
install the equipment . He advised that there are some liability
concerns and it has also been determined that McGovern can
install the equipment quicker and cheaper than County Staff . He
also noted that the quoted price is approximately the same as the
price for both the other parks.
Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Thomas and carried una-
nimously, that a Change Order in the amount of $4,377. 33 be added
to the present contact of McGovern Construction be recommended
for approval .
CHANGE ORDER FOR APAC - FLORIDA, INC. FOR FINAL PAYMENT OF PAVING
AT GOLDEN GATE COMMUNITY PARK - SANTA BARBARA BOULEVARD -
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Parks & Recreation Supervisor Smith stated this request is
for final payment of $2 , 171 . 60 to Apac-Florida, Inc . for paving
at Golden Gate Community Park. He advised that some repairs were
needed between the time the base coat and the final coat was
laid. He said some quantities had an over-run and some came in
under projected cost and this Change Order is for the difference.
Mr. McQuillin moved, seconded by Mr. Stevens and carried una-
nimously, that Change Order for Apac-Florida, Inc. in the amount
of $2 , 171 .60 for final payment of paving at Golden Gate Community
Park - Santa Barbara Blvd. be recommended for approval .
BID #87-1087 FOR PARK MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT - RECOMMENDED FOR
APPROVAL TO VARIOUS BIDDERS
Parks & Recreation Supervisor Smith stated that Staff wishes
to reject the bids for the two 81" Riding Mowers. He said this
decision is based on the requested bids being for gas powered
engines and, because of all the Bermuda Grass at the Community
Parks, Staff feels it will be more efficient and cost effective
to request bids on diesel engines.
Mr . Smith stated Staff recommends that the following vendors
be awarded the bid:
1-tractor Naples Rent-All $10, 703 . 25
1-sweeper/thatcher Wesco Zaun 11 , 249. 00

BABE RUTH LEAGUE BABE RUTH
ROY TERRY - President
SHADE JONES - Vice-President
FRAN CAUDILL - Secretary BASEBALL
Clifford Crawford
Director of County Parks and Recreation
Dear Mr. Crawford:
I am writing to you as the President of the Greater Naples Babe Ruth
League requesting that the County seriously consider the addition of base-
ball fields to the present park system. The parks as they are presently
developed are an excellent addition to our community.
Presently in Collier County there are two baseball diamonds available
for use by the Babe Ruth Baseball League. Fleischman Park is run by the
city and is also used by Naples and Lely High Schools for their home games.
Scheduling the field for practices and games is a problem and severely
limits us in developing a schedule. As a matter of fact our 16-18 year
old group will not be able to play a home game until June 1st and must
travel to Bonita and Cape Coral to play all games. The field at Winter-
berry presents another problem, that being the distance to travel and a
question of safety transporting kids at night to Marco Island. Because
of this our use of Winterberry is limited.
The Greater Naples Babe Ruth Baseball League is composed of three
leagues. The 13 year old prep league is composed of six teams and approx-
imately 78 players. The 14-15 year old league has six teams and approx-
imately 96 players. The 16-18 year old league has four teams and 68
players. Our league has expanded this year over last year and we are
looking forward to adding teams next year. At the present time 90% of
our players on our rosters live in the county, yet the only convenient
playing facility is at Fleischman Park.
Our county has taken great strides with the new park you are pro-
viding. The only thing missing are the baseball facilities. I hope you
will seriously look at this situation. If I can be of any further assis-
tance, please call me at 261-3538.
Sincerely,
R el Terry
President
Greater Naples Babe Ruth League

RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A CHANGE ORDER TOTALING $10, 998. 25 FOR
FRANK E. MACKLE, JR. COMMUNIT°1 PARK.
Objective : To obtain approval of a $10, 998. 25 change order for
Mollenhauer Construction at Frank E. Mackle Community Park.
Considerations: The Board of County Commissioners have established
a policy that change orders over $2, 000 for construction of
community parks would require Board approval . Change order #3 for
Mollenhauer Construction in the amount of $10, 998. 25 is for the
following:
1. Install Timberform play structure #4038 and structure #4076, and
install border around play area using 8" x 8" pressure treated
lumber.
2. Relocate four volleyball standard sockets.
3. Add additional window shade.
This change order comes at the request of the Parks and Recreation
Department upon reviewing specifications, liability, and feasibility
of the on-site contractor being utilized to construct the play area.
This item was not in the original contract as park maintenance
personnel were to construct the play area. However, due to the cost
of installation and time, it would be advantageous to use the
on-site contractor to complete this project .
This change order, upon review of price for construction and the
time frame of completion, is recommended by both the consulting
engineers Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soli and Peek, Inc. and the County
Engineering Department . The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
( PARAB) at their May 21st meeting approved this change order.
This change order will increase the present amount of Moilenhauer' s
contract from S550, 820. 00 to $56i, 818. 25.
Fiscal Impact : This change order in the amount of $10, 998. 25 is to
be paid out of fiscal year 1986/87 budget. Monies are available to
cover this change order in account #306-113-6385-6310 Parks and
Recreation CIP, Frank E. Mackie, Jr. Community Park.
Recommendation : Staff and the PARAB recommend approval of the
$10, 998. 25 change order to Mollenhauer Construction for the
construction for the children' s play area at Frank E. Mackle, Jr.
Community Park.
