East Naples Community Park Construction Status: The representative from Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc. had not arrived. Moved to Item IV. IV. Discussion of City of Naples Parks and Recreation Advisory Board/Collier County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Joint Meeting. IrMr. Crawford: Pursuant to your last meeting I had contacted Mr. Chris Holley concerning the joint meeting of the Advisory Boards of the City and the County. Both Comprehensive Plans address the need for improved communications, agreements and discussions between members of the two Boards. Some items that could be discussed would be joint City/School/County facility uses, program uses, review of Comprehensive plans of the County and the City regarding the Open Space Element. We talked about joint facility tours to become more familiar with the facilities available to both the City and County. There are many other items including beach renourishment, artificial reef programs and things of that nature. It would be beneficial to establish an initial meeting to share these items that are of common interest to both Boards. What I need from you is directions to go ahead and confirm this meeting and proceed with establishing a firm agenda. Mr. McQuillin: I can see that both the County and the City would have joint concerns on a lot of things, but I was wondering if there would be a purpose to both Boards meeting at the same time or not. Mr. Crawford: Again, it was established as a communications means and identified particularly in the City of Naples Comprehensive Plan as a policy statement. Any efforts we have to improve those communications or look at those items of common interest which are affecting us, not only City wide but also on a County wide basis, we should. Some of our Board members have knowledge of the City programs and facilities and some of our Board members do not. The reverse could be true with the City, so this would give an overview of what is being delivered in terms of services for both the City and the unincorporated area of Collier County. We do have programs and service areas that are very close together, particularly in the North Naples area and the beach accesses. Mr. McQuillin: So you are thinking that you and Chris Holley would sort of each make an overview of what is going on so that it would be more educational in nature? Mr. Crawford: That is exactly right. Mr. McQuillin: Any other comments? Mr. Kobza: Just so I understand, you are asking for approval of one meeting as a kind of . . . . Mr. Crawford: of overview as a service by both the City and the County regarding recreation programs and services. Mr. Kobza: Would there be an interaction between the Boards on these specific issues? For instance, the beach renourishment program? Mr. Crawford: Yes, it could be. We could establish a workshop where we take a specific issue regarding beach renourishment, we will say funding, to establish an approach or a problem associated with that and solutions to that particular problem. It depends upon the length of the meeting and the details in it. I think initially since it has never occurred, an orientation may be more appropriate than establishing an individual workshop on an individual matter. To my knowledge these Boards have never met jointly. I think it would be more important to initially have an orientation and at least know who our counterparts are that are working within the City. Mr. O'Donnell: I am not so sure that to discuss issues such as beach renourishment will be all that beneficial since that has always been handled by a separate division; so other than for informational purposes or education, so be it. Mr. Stevens: Other than educational, what can be accomplished? Mr. McQuillin: We may have an educational type of program, something may develop from that, and we might see some place where things will fit together. My feeling is that depending upon what agenda items we have at that time, if we were going to limit the time of the meeting somewhat, it might be worthwhile to have an overview of how the two programs impact each other. Mr. Mueller: I think it will be beneficial to get together. Mr. Stevens: I am not against it, I just wanted to know why. Mr. McQuillin: That was just what I was asking about I think. I think the answer is that it is going to be purely educational . Mr. Crawford and -2- Mr. Holley, who is Cliff's counterpart at the City, will be telling us about their programs and hopefully explaining areas that are of mutual concern for them and may be something will come out of that in the future. I think Cliff is looking for a motion to proceed with Mr. Holley to develop an agenda for this meeting. Mr. Stevens: What is the date that you have? Mr. Crawford: Your normally scheduled meeting, May 18th, 8: 30 AM, in the Cypress Room in the rear of this building. Mr. Mueller: That is bad for me, I'll be gone that week. Mr. McQuillin: Well, that is our scheduled meeting. I gather that is something you already talked about with Mr. Holley? Mr. Crawford: Yes. Mr. Stevens: I will go ahead and make the motion for a mutual discussion with the City of Naples Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Kobza: Seconded. Motion passed 4 to 0. Mr. McQuillin: The representative from Wilson, Miller is here now. Let's go back to item III on the Agenda. Mr. Bridges: I apologize for being late. Since the last meeting the construction has continued in certain areas on the park site while the building permitting process has been taking place. We now have the building permits, and the DER permit and the County utility permit required to construct the sanitary sewer. The construction activity should begin to pick up because there are a lot of different areas we can work on now. To date the contractors have been very cooperative in rearranging their normal sequence of events to jump over into some areas they could work in. The main part of the work to date has been on building up some of the pads for the tennis courts, racquetball courts, and building the jogging path around the lake area. The building contractor has had his electrical sub out installing a lot of his underground conduit and they have done quite a bit of work. They should have started yesterday on the sewer construction. As soon as that is in the ground we can begin to work on the roadway and some of the ballfields. We will be working on the jogging trail in the next few days around the tennis courts. Mr. McQuillin: Mr. Bridges, can you help me get oriented, where is Avalon School - up there in the upper left? Mr. Bridges: This map is actually divided into two, this is the Avalon school here. Just for informational purposes, the School District is currently getting underway on a contract putting a new treatment plant on the Avalon Elementary School site. Mr. McQuillin: There is an existing one there now? Mr. Bridges: Right, but they are upgrading that plant. The ultimate output from that plant will connect into our gravity sewer line, and eventually connect to the County regional system up here, so the extension of the line from here, across our football/soccer field, down to this area is being done by our underground utility contractor, but paid directly by the School Board. They issued a purchase order on that; so that is just a cooperative effort there. Mr. McQuillin: Are there existing basketball courts around the school any longer? Mr. Bridges: No. Mr. McQuillin: It looks good. Any other questions? Mr. Kobza: How long before it will be built? Mr. Bridges: August, I believe is the completion date. Mr. McQuillin: I pulled out some of the old time schedules, and I think it was originally scheduled for completion in September 1985? Mr. Crawford: Yes, that is when DER made the first jurisdictional . . . There will be a similar update presented by the staff of Wilson, Miller at the BCC meeting next Tuesday. Mr. McQuillin: Mr. Bridges, what does Bob Furlong do now, is he working on this project at all? Mr. Bridges Bob has been the overall project manager on all the community park projects. I joined Wilson, Miller six months ago and have been phasing into the park projects and will be managing the next phase design. To become better -3- acquainted I have become involved with the construction phase of this project. Bob is still involved in some of the other projects such as the Golden Gate baseball field. I will primarily be involved in the future design work. V. Schedule of Recreational Programs - Mr. Crawford: For your information I wish to share with you some of our major events. In Immokalee we have a new event "Country Days" , April 1, from 10 to 2 at the community park. It will be an event with a country theme oriented for the kids and family. That is being completed and finalized now in terms of plans and it has been well advertised in the Immokalee Bulletin. We are looking forward to this event as it is the first big special in Immokalee. Mr. McQuillin: Are there contests or something like that? Mr. Crawford: Yes, there will be games, activities, relays and we are working with a number of the other youth groups in the area. The next major program is April 8th with the Celebration of Young Children. We will be part of a program at Coastland Mall from 10 to 5. There will be displays as well as some of program participants will be demonstrating. April 15th is the big program "For Kids Sake" co-sponsored with WINK TV and will be held at North Naples Community Park. We are receiving a lot of TV coverage on that event. It was estimated that the advertising cost alone is $25, 000. It is a good program, and again, all programs and activities are oriented for kids and their families. We encourage you to participate in any of these events. Mr. Stevens: What is scheduled for Easter? Mr. Crawford: We had our Easter event this previous Saturday. We had over 1, 500 kids here, - Ronald McDonald - and other things for the kids. It was a large success. Mr. Mueller: Incidentally, that carnival at Mackle Park last Saturday was excellent. The staff did a really nice job. There was quite a crowd there, and it was a nice event. Mr. Crawford: What we are doing, as you can see, is increasing our special events. We are not centralizing these programs at the Golden Gate Park, but we are trying to develop unique programs for each community - North Naples, Immokalee, Marco. Mr. McQuillin: The Country Days in Immokalee, is that free? Mr. Crawford: Yes, all of our programs are free. Mr. McQuillin: Is there anything that we charge for while they are going on? Mr. Crawford: Not really, only refreshments or things like that, unless we had a private concessionaire that had a specific charge. The majority of activities at the special events are free of charge - particularly for the youth programs. Mr. McQuillin: Action List - which I forgot. It seems that items 1-6 are or can be removed. What about this #7, design time table proposal. Mr. Crawford: I did receive that proposal on March 7th, but it was not detailed enough on the time tables. I spoke with Mr. Peek and he is supplying me with additional information which I am expecting next week. I have time tables basically for some of the major activities, but I wanted more specifics. Mr. McQuillin: Anything more on Willow Run? Mr. O'Donnell: Basically we put the thing on hold. The last proposal we received from Willow Run Trust was analyzed by our negotiating team. He felt he was looking at least 5 years purchase and prices are significantly higher than they should have been. I sent Mr. Boness a letter indicating that we were rejecting it and putting it on hold pending discussion as a result of the Budget process. Mr. McQuillin: And the Immokalee Board vacancy? Do you know anything on that? Mr. Crawford: It is still being advertised. As soon as we -4- receive the applications we will proceed as quickly as possible for your recommendation. Mr. McQuillin: I understand that there are some people here to address the Advisory Board on the Blue Bill Boat ramp? Mr. Crawford: Mr. Chairman, I was going to suggest that this be scheduled at some meeting. We certainly encourage your comments, but as I told Mrs. Johnson, I would suggest to particularly address it as an agenda item for your next schedule meeting for April 20th. Mr. Kobza: I was just going to ask the status. Mr. Crawford: We have refigured some of it. Engineering is finalizing all the changes that we have discussed. This would give us time to receive this information back and we would have a more complete draft plan so folks can take a look at it. Mr. Arthur Jacob: I am president of Vanderbilt Beach Property Association and I am representing them today. We came because our attorney has called and was not sure this was going to be on the Agenda. The people of Vanderbilt Beach are unanimously opposed to the boat ramp. Safety problems, traffic problems, certainly a cost problem, and if I lived on a street across the way from a boat ramp I should be very unhappy too. Primarily, water safety - the boat ramp is flush up against the Blue Bill Avenue bridge. Consequently, people will be launching their boats with little or no visibility to the north. Also, just north of us is Turkey Bay, which is environmentally fragile I am told. It cannot be dredged and add that many boats coming in from a boat ramp to Turkey Bay I think would make the environmentalist very unhappy. The concern about the traffic on roads that are already very busy - Wiggins Park brings a lot of traffic every weekend and traffic is backed up on Vanderbilt Drive, Bluebill Avenue and Gulf Shore Drive. It doesn't make much sense to put a boat ramp where it is not needed. The boat ramp in Wiggins Park, we are told, is very seldom used to capacity; never used to capacity is what I heard. So our members have told us they do not want a boat ramp and if you schedule a meeting for April 20th, you will have a lot of people here in this room. The increase in boat traffic would be abominable. There are other places where a boat ramp could be more utilized. There is incidentally an illegal boat ramp on shelter Island right next to that bridge that people use as a boat ramp. There are never more than 2-3 boat trailers when you drive by. Mrs. Delores Johnson: I have been on the board of the Vanderbilt Property Owners Association for two years and last January 28th, four of our members took to the Commissioners copies of 449 signatures from people who live up there opposing the boat ramp, with copies of our deeds of restrictions, which says it is against the deeds of restrictions, with copies of the quick claim deed where the Conners family gave to the County the land. No where in here does it specify it supports a boat ramp. Kevin O'Donnell was quoted this over the phone. What our letter basically said is that we are opposing it for safety of the boaters while launching of their boats. Here is a chart of the layout, a rough chart of the way it looks, and right now when this gift was given in 1984 . Since that time we now have Nautilus I and Nautilus II cruise ships going up and down this canal and loaded with people sometimes three times a day. As a consequence there is a lot of traffic going under that bridge. The restricted view of that bridge is a real safety hazard. I do not know if it is true but I do understand that somebody from the Sate headquarters has stated that this is not going to be allowed because any restricted view is a safety hazard. Another reason we oppose it is because of the congestion on the road. Right now when we have a -5- holiday for example, the traffic is backed up and we have police directing traffic at the four way stop signs at Vanderbilt Drive and Bluebill. We are going to need a stop sigh there soon. Another reason is the increased waterway traffic we would have in here and there are a lot of people who leave their boats unattended during the summer months. I know half our neighbors go up North and leave their boats. I could see the increased vandalized boats while these people are gone. Another very important thing is Wiggins Pass has not been dredged. Right now it is supposed to be done in October or November. Anyone who puts a boat in there who is not familiar with the waters is in deep trouble. Turkey Bay is shallow, you can see the bottom. We can get out only two hours of high tide one way or the other. Turkey Bay has not been dredged and still will not be. If they are putting their boats in by this bridge and go under and through a little waterway they are in Turkey Bay. I talked with the people over at Delmar State Park and when they see a boat being trailered into the park, even if the park is full, they will let the boat trailer in there to use that facility because it is not utilized. That is why we are saying who needs another boat ramp. These are some strong objections that we have to it. I do not know if we gathered new signatures, if that would help. We are very strong, everyone is still opposed and we will go door to door if that is what it takes. Mr. McQuillin: Well, I think if we have it as an agenda item on April 20th, anybody that wants to come and address the Board can do that. I would like to try to avoid 1 repetition though, so we would like you to address different issues. Mrs. Johnson: There is one other issue I would like to make and that is Linda Sowers of Stiles-Sowers has developed the whole block of Flamingo. I do not know if you are familiar with that area - they have really made it into something beautiful. It was a mess, our beautification chairman picked up about five bags of trash on that one street last year. Linda Sowers told me that she has put in writing a bid to purchase at fair market value that property to develop it for residential use. She says her letter was ignored. She said she will rewrite it and I did suggest that she send copies to Cliff Crawford and to the BCC. Mr. O'Donnell: Who did she send her letter to? Do you know? Mrs. Johnson: I do not know the name of the person, but I certainly will find out and let you know. Mr. O'Donnell: That would be important. Mrs. Johnson: She said it was totally ignored. Mr. O'Donnell: One comment I would like to make - I did receive a letter from Mr. Jacob indicting that he was representing the Association opposing this. I responded to him that before the matter would be placed on the agenda I would advise him and re-afirm that. The County Manager has asked me to prepare a report on the entire history of the Bluebill situation as well as to where we are at this time on this item. I have asked Cliff and his staff to prepare this information and they are compiling this for me. We anticipate having this for you by the April 20th meeting. I cannot promise you, but I will promise that you will be advised prior to the item being placed on the Advisory Board agenda, and when it will go before the BCC. Mr. Mueller: I want to make a comment on the shallowness of water and running aground. That situation prevails no matter where you have a boat in Collier County. Are you familiar with the Caxambas Pass boat ramp? To the /' best of my knowledge the problems that you mention exist there. I know several people that have condos adjacent to the boat ramp and they have had no problems, if that will be of any help to you. Mrs. Johnson: Well, that is just one small item. That bridge is a big item of safety also with a restricted view. Even though they are "No Wake" signs -6- everywhere in that area, they still speed. Mr. Mueller: That exists everywhere. Mrs. Johnson: But what I am saying is that I can see boats ripping through under the bridge, and people trying to launch their boat or get it off their trailer, and the calamity it might create. As a matter of fact, I met with Cliff Crawford at the foot of that bridge last January and Murdo Smith. We want to thank you for putting the new trash can the "No Litter" sign. Mr. McQuillin: Any other new business? Mr. Kobza: I have one question for Mr. O'Donnell - is there going to be an ordinance proposed on the catamarans on the beach, is that in process? Is that going to come before the Board? Where do we stand on that? Mr. O'Donnell: Based on some conversations I have had subsequent to that, I have asked to get a copy of the total minutes from that particular hearing. I may have spoken a little too soon, if I did it was my mistake. That is why I want to get the copy of the minutes to see whether or not the Board direction was specifically directed to work out another ordinance. The Board had said at the time that a couple of people have commented on the parking of boats on the beaches. The Commission had said that we should deal with the existing ordinance the way we have it right now, and if that was an issue we were going to address, then we should address it at a separate point. So at this point I want to make sure what the direction was of the Commission. If the Commission wants us to work on another ordinance, we will. If not, we never had a problem and we have not received calls on it. Cliff has never mentioned to me that we have a problem with it, and we may just let the matter die and not proceed with it. Mr. Kobza: Before any ordinance would go before the County Board, would it come before the Parks Board? Mr. O'Donnell: Yes, I would consider that to be a major policy issue that would be appropriate for this body to review. Mr. Jacob: This is an issue that our members are also quite adamant about, particularly at the north end of the beach. If I owned a boat that costs as much as those catamarans, I wouldn't leave it unattended on the beach for weeks. I am surprised they are still there. I would guess that if the owners care that little about their boats then maybe they should be told they shouldn't be there. I don't know the legalities for public beaches. Mr. O'Donnell: It was a four hour public hearing that we had. I just want to get a copy of the minutes to make sure precisely where the direction was so we don not go off on a tangent. Mr. McQuillin: Was there anything else? Mr. Mueller: Yes. I was wondering. . I guess I am a little confused as to how the Board was informed as far as our suggestions are concerned as to this beach ordinance. Did they send something prior to the Commission meeting? What is the procedure? Mr. Crawford: If we put a comment in there in the Executive Summary. Mr. O'Donnell: Yes, we could put something in there. The Board altered the ordinance on the floor during the public hearing process from what you had originally reviewed and conceptually approved. That the Board was sent copies of your minutes, I do not know the timeliness of when you last had the special meeting and when the hearing was scheduled. I know they did not get the minutes prior to that. Mr. Mueller: Well, there was a problem 1171) here I understand in getting the minutes out and as a result they got them late. But those were extenuating circumstances. I was wondering because I don't know what the situation is with the other commissioners, but I know as far as Shanahan is concerned, I am not so sure that he was made aware of what our findings were, nor the advice that we had. As a matter of fact, we got together, took an hour and a half the day before the Commissioners' meeting to go over the thing, and I just wondered if they should have been advised before that. Mr. O'Donnell: We didn't go through and advise them section by section, the way you voted. Conceptually you did approve the ordinance and that was specified in the Executive Summary. Mr. Mueller: But there were suggestions as far as revisions of the ordinance were concerned. The reason I am concerned with this is because I think our District probably is affected more by this ordinance than any of the other districts. The introduction of Sand Dollar Island for example, is one of the things that he suggested, I think was very important to include. I know that Kim had asked during the last meeting, the 21st, that the minutes be typed up and sent up to the Commissioners, but due to a time factor this wasn't possible. I am wondering in the future whether it would be possible to have that done. There is no sense in us doing this, spending four hours on it, and . . . Mr. O'Donnell: Frankly, with the length of the minutes I think that is going to be extremely difficult. There could be a short synapses, I think. You had indicated that you were hoping to come to the meeting. Mr. Mueller: I was, but an emergency came up. Mr. O'Donnell: And quite frankly, with the shortness of time, we were relying on the fact that you were going before the Board. I know Commissioner Shanahan was aware of Sand Dollar. Generally as soon as the meeting is over and the minutes are ready, we send them up to the Commissioners. Usually we do not have a meeting two or three days before. Mr. McQuillin: We did change our meeting day back to the third Thursday. Is it possible on the Executive Summary to have a paragraph to say more about what the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board did - at least highlight the points? Mr. O'Donnell: It depends upon what meeting we are trying to hit. Anything you discuss today will not be on next weeks agenda. I am not sure it is appropriate to rewrite an Executive Summary to reflect what went on here. It is a two week sequence - if you approve it on Thursday, Cliff has to get it me by Tuesday, I have it to the Manager's office on Wednesday for the following Tuesday's agenda. Mr. Stevens: This was a meeting on Tuesday and the Commissioner's meeting was the following Tuesday. This was an unusual circumstance. Mr. O'Donnell: Yes, it was. Mr. Kobza: I just want to make a couple of points. One is we spent a lot of time on that issue, and our time is numbers. I think that it is important that as much of that information as possible gets communicated to the Board. 2 . If we see major issues coming, if we can control our scheduling to the Board, that may help. I understood that was a special deal . Mr. O'Donnell: Prior to that the Attorney's office had been working with us and our concessionaires and everything was moving along. It was during the end of it that it started developing a life of its own and there was a lot of misinterpretation with the news media. We were able to correct that. Mr. Mueller: I called Horton after reading all this media and suggested that the articles published be scrutinized a little more closely. If the ordinance had been read the articles with the titles that appeared would never have been written. He apologized and said the apology would be in the paper. Mr. Kobza: There are a lot of issues that we discussed that the Commissioners took a beating about. Mr. McQuillin: Anything else we want to discuss today? Kim, maybe it would be a good idea if you called Dave Rynder's office prior to that meeting in April since you own property. Mr. Kobza: I sent a letter to Ken Cuyler and asked for an opinion on what I can and cannot do. -8- Clearly I cannot vote on any matters regarding Bluebill and maybe I cannot participate in any discussion. I live directly across the street from it. I do have some insight in the situation but I do not want to do anything that would even suggest a conflict. Mr. O'Donnell: Usually the Attorney's office notifies the Commissioners on a conflict item, the Commissioner abstains from voting on the issue but is free to participate in the discussion. Mr. Kobza: I want to make sure that I do not create a conflict because I have a very direct interest. Mr. Mueller: Do you have a plan showing what is intended? Mr. Crawford: Engineering has them now. Mr. McQuillin: Anything else? Meeting is adjourned. Mrs. Johnson: I would like to be put on the mailing list for the agendas. Thank you. C -9- JOINT ADVISORY BOARD MEETING The Naples Advisory Board met and agreed to the joint meeting on May 18, 8: 30 AM, at Collier County Parks and Recreation Administration Building. Recommended agenda topics for the planned one hour meeting include the following: 1. Department Overviews - Services and operations of the Departments 2 . Advisory Board Rules 3 . Comprehensive Plans - Interlocal Agreements with the School system 4 . Regional Park - County's plan of action Staff recommends that the Advisory Board approve the proposed agenda. 1054 PARAB BLUEBILL GENERAL INFORMATION The Bluebill Avenue land was donated in 1984 by the Conners family to Collier County for development of a boat ramp facility. (Attached) There is existing a unimproved boat ramp on the west end of the property being used by the public for boat launching since at least 1983 . The BCC adopted the Boat Landing Study in August, 1988, which establishes the Level of Service Standards and Planning District locations for launch facilities. The Growth Management of Collier County also addresses the need for launch facilities. The Department and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board have established a policy of constructing public recreation facilities on existing County owned property. It is anticipated through 1994 there will be 29, 562 registered boats in Collier County. There are over 15, 000 currently registered. The existing County salt water launch facilities are at capacity during peak use, the weekends. There is the possibility of elimination of the 951 facility if the road is widened. The County's Real Property Department has determined there is no other available sites in the immediate area. Wiggins State Park supports the need for the Bluebill launch facility. Attached is the proposed design for the facility with planned 40 spaces for the boat parking. The design is similar to the popular Bayview launch facility. The Department is recommending to move forward on the launch facility following the design included. Currently there are no County launch facilities in this area. Delnor Wiggins has launch facilities and was considered in developing the Standard. In addition to normal use for Gulf access, the facility would also serve the needs of the boating community during severe storms. 1052 /611111-eL. '‘ 't MEMORANDUM TO: Mary-Frances Krus Chairman Board of County C issioners FROM: Patricia M. Carroll Planning and Contracts Engineer DATE: October 24, 1983 SUBJECT: Proposed Boat Ramp Park on Bluebill Avenue Lots 1-23, Block V, Conner's Vanderbilt Beach Estates, Unit 3 Section 29, Township 48 South, Range 25 East The Conner family, developers of Conner's Vanderbilt Beach Estates, are owners of 23 contiguous lots along Bluebill Avenue which are west of Vanderbilt Beach Drive and east of Vanderbilt Beach Lagoon (see attached tax map and aerial) . The 4.58± acres within the 23 lot area have canal frontage to the south and lagoon frontage to the west. There is an existing, unimproved boat ramp on the west end of the property already being used by the public. Since there is a need for a boat ramp park in North Naples, the Conners are offering to dedicate the 4.58± acres to Collier County for such a use. They ask only that Collier County provide an appraisal, and that the transaction be completed by December 31, 1983. Please add this item to the Agenda for the October 25, 1983 Board meeting. If it is the Board's wish to accept the Conners' offer, then staff will need authorization to obtain an appraisal on the property at County expense. Upon completion of the donation, staff will present the deed to the Board for acceptance. � v PMC:vl Attachments 2 cc: Commissioner Voss, w/Attachments Commissioner Pistor Commissioner Holland Commissioner Brown i .\ t;;;;) - T--- October 25, 198, _ I Item 121 9 STAFF AUTHORIZED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE CONMERS FAMILY TO ACCEPT THE DONATION OF PROPERTY FOR A SORT RAMP ON SLUESILL AVENUE 11 Pat Carroll of the Engineering Department explained that approximately six months ago she was approached by a representative II I from the Connors family asking If Collier County would be interested in lands fo: a boat ramp park in North Naples and that she expressed the 3 need for such a park. She said last week she received a phone call ' stating that the Conners family wants to donate this property. She 4 requested authorization to obtain the appraisal and to work with the Conners Family to get the warranty deed in hand. ri Commissioner Pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Voss and 7. k carried unanimously, that the Staff be authorized to negotiate with the Conners Family to accept the donation of property for a boat ramp on Bluebill Avenue. A Responding to Commissioner Pistor, Ms. Carroll said that the boat A ti ramp could be on the lagoon which has access through Wiggins Pass to the Gulf. Item 122 COUNTY ATTORNEY AUTHORIZED TO DRAFT AM ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 80-77 THAT DEPARTMENT BEADS BE REMOVED FROM THE BCC'S ABILITY TO FIRE THEM BY A 2/3RDS VOTE Commissioner Voss said that Ordinance 80-77 says that the BCC, by a 2/3rds vote, can dismiss Division Heads or Department Heads.
