IX. Meeting Adjourned
The meeting was opened by Chairman Scott McQuillin at 8:30 AM. The representa-
tive from Wilson, Miller was not present so Murdo Smith presented the update of
construction at East Naples Community Park.
Mr. Smith: (Aerial photos shown) The next major hurdle will be FPL supplying
power to the facilities so landscaping can begin. We are in a lease agreement
with the school. We built the first facility in this location so the basketball
courts could go here and the existing ballfield was reworked. This is the school
pavilion that we will be able to use. There will be a fence that will come down
this way, go around the ballfield and come out here so that we will be able to
lock this off from the public so they cannot get to the school. The basketball
standards are up, courts are curing and should be colored next week.
City of Naples Advisory Board arrived with Community Services Director Chris
Holley. Members were introduced. Collier County had one member, Gil Mueller,
absent; and still has one vacant position on the Board. The City of Naples
had one board member absent, Dr. Eugene O'Neil.
Mr. Crawford apologized for the accommodations. The facility was also being
used that day by the County for training needs. (Certified Public Management
which is offered through the Florida Institute of Government, Florida State.)
Copies of the Agenda, Action List and phamphlets were distributed to the
guests. Mr. Crawford explained where East Naples Community Park was located and
the plans for the facilities to be constructed on the 47 acres. The County owns
40 acres and has an agreement with the School Board for joint use of the other
approximate 7 acres. Completion date should be in August. The lake was created
and fill from it was used for the park.

Mr. McQuillin: Thank you, Murdo. We'll back track for a second. Do we have a
motion to accept the minutes of the April meeting?
Mr. Kobza: The letter that I submitted last meeting?
Secretary: The original was filed with the minutes of that meeting.
MINUTES APPROVED.
Mr. McQuillin: We use an Action List to follow up on business discussed at the
previous meeting and recommendations we have made to the Board of County Com-
missioners. The first item is the Bluebill Ramp. A proposed boat ramp in the
Vanderbilt area is pending, a meeting was held attended by a number of residents
in the area who were opposed to the boat ramp. Willow Run proposal refers to a
proposal for property for a regional park.
Mr. Crawford: The almost 400 acres that was being considered for acquisition for
a regional park facility is on hold. We have done appraisals and basically we
could not come to terms on either the sale price and/or au the terms of conditions,
such as when the property would be turned over to the County. It is currently
actively being mined, so that item is in abeyance now.
Mr. Steven: This Willow Run, isn't phosphate connected with radon?
Mr. Crawford: I don't know. A number of parks in Polk County, Lakeland and some
other areas were formerly being mined, and they are not experiencing this type of
problem at this point. That would be something we would have to look at if this
project is pursued.
Mr. Stevens: The third item on the list is a baseball field at this park in
Golden Gate.
Mr. Smith: Construction of the ballfield is to begin the first week of June.
Item #4. Wilson, Miller design contract continuation. We have an ongoing con-
tract with Wilson, Miller to do the design work for the community park system.
The submerged land lease renewal is something that comes up every two years and
as been approved again. We are still advertising for the Immokalee board
vacancy. Also, the grant for summer lunch programs is something that comes up on
a yearly basis. That has been approved by the BCC and we have renamed the softball
field at ImmokaleeCommunity Park for Barbara Holmes, who was a teacher and coach
at Immokalee Middle School. To
Mr. Crawford: Mr. Chairman, back to the ramp,
the.Bluebillp
some of our guests this morning, we have some
property. We have one Board member who has a particular, intimate knowledge of
this location. This is the property that is owned by the County; 4.49 acres do-
nated by the Conners family for a launch facility. Most of the concerns about
this location have been raised by residents of that area who have built single
family homes with dock facilities in the canal area. That will give you an idea
of the general location. We are continuing to look at a proposed alternative
site, north of that property contiguous to the Wiggins Pass Marina. It is about
a 3 1/2 acre tract. We have met with one of the developers of the property across
the street from the County owned Bluebill property. We have instructed engineers
to develop some concepts and do a utilization plan of that property. We are con-
tinuing to investigate that as a potential additional alternative site for a North
Naples launch facility. It is south of the Wiggins Pass Marina, north of Shelter
Island, and right contiguous to N. Vanderbilt Beach - is an F shaped piece of
-3-
property. Mr. Griffin, one of the owners, has expressed interest. I have been
meeting with him and several other people involved. It has some improvements,
there is bulkheading, tie docks, etc. We are working toward making a recommen-
dation to obtain appraisals on this property.
Mr. Kobza: On both parcels?
Mr. Crawford: Initially on the proposed alternative site. (Map shown of the
proposed site.) The property has been through bankruptcy court a couple of dif-
ferent times, but what we are proposing to do is determine the value of the
property. As far as access to the Gulf goes, it is a good location for a boat
launching facility. Bluebill property is down here, you cannot see it.
Ms. Vega: Isn't that real shallow at low tide?
Mr. Crawford: Yes, you are all familiar with Wiggins Pass and the dredging
problem. It is shallow, but looking at the type of boat that comes into the
marina now, it is not significantly larger than what is typically launched at
either the City or County's facilities. They are generally 20-22 footers max-
imum, a boat with a very shallow draft. It is something that has to be con-
sidered, whether the County or other users use the facilities to the north
or south, that travel through the Pass to get to the Gulf.
Mr. Kobza: What are the specific improvements? -
Mr. Crawford: It is bulkheaded all the way around. You can consider the road
an improvement, but I am not sure it will play any part in the design. If the
County owned it, it would probably be an access near Vanderbilt Drive. This
whole building here was an improved double-wide trailer. You would never get
it. It was a model center with the houses actually to bebuilt on the island.
Mr. Kobza: Any potential residential development there?
Mr. Crawford: Yes. The current zoning is ARM6. That allows 20 stores in
height if approved and this property here will be 16 stories. They are both
multi-family areas. One of the advantages, you on the City Board have dealt
with I am sure, is you have a commercial facility which would have some sup-
port facilities. At this time there is limited improvements adjacent to the
proposed site. That is the only site brought forth by the group. Real Prop-
erty has not identified any other site either.
Mr. Holley: I'm Chris Holley, Community Services Director for the City of
Naples. Here's a little background for you. Cliff and I served on a sub-
committee of the RUDAT report (Regional Urban Design Assistance Team. ) It
was brought to the community to look at Naples, the Collier County area, to
determine what were the real issues going on for us in terms of recreation open
space, environmental transportation, growth management, all those important
issues that we are facing. Out of that Committee came a number of recommenda-
tions, and one of those was that the two advisory boards, on a regular basis,
try and sit down and go over some of the issues that are affecting both of
our Departments. Those recommendations that came out of that RUDAT Sub-Com-
mittee were carried forth into our Comprehensive Plan. Each of us were going
through that growth management process and had to prepare goals, objectives
and policies and I am sure both departments have moved on and approved a rec-
reation element in the Comprehensive Plan that has been forward to Tallahassee.
-4-
We are now trying to develop development codes, implenting those goals for our-
selves, and I will try to get to the Comprehensive Plan in a minute and try to
explain our element, but that is how we got to this point. Our Department, the
Community Services Department, is made up of approximately 100 employees equally
divided into two divisions. We have a Parks and Parkways Division that maintains,
not only our parks and common areas, but municipal sites such as City Hall and the
police station, our fire departments and things like that. We also oem maintain
roadus
right-of-way trees in town. We have over 12,000 coconut palms, queen palms,
trees, anything that the City planted in the right-of-way we also maintain. We
have a vacant lot program that we also administer out of our Department. The
other division, Recreation Enterprise Division, is made up of sections. We have
a Maintenance Section where we are responsible for maintaindng all the buildings
that we have. We also maintain City Hall as well , out of that Section. Ob-
viously, the Recreation Division which involves our 3 community centers, the
one in Fleischman Park, the one at River Park and one in Cambier Park that is
now being renamed the Norris Community Center. Those are our 3 basic community
parks. One is a downtown park, one is over on Tenth Street and one is south of
the Mall. Our Enterprise Divisions are the City marina, which has an operating
budget of around $300,000 generates revenue of about one half a million dollars.
The City fishing pier, which generates around $130,000 a year in revenue is
about $110,000 in expenses. Our tennis courts are identified as an Enterprise
operation. We have a full-time pro, 14 courts and an operating budget of around
$170,000. We just about break even there. We also have an operation at Lowder-
milk Park. Concession operations would generate around $60,000 there, we just
about break even. We are also responsible for the maintenance of the beaches.
In Naples we have 52 full-time, 3 part-time staff people, that run around in
little Cushman scooters and empty all the garbage cans and actually get out on
the beach with a bucket and a pick up stick and pick up the litter. If there
are any fish tails or anything like that, dead sea turtles, boats that have
washed up on shore, we are responsible for the clean up effort there. Then there
is the Administrative Section which is just made up of myself and my secretary
Carol. Our overall budget is around 2.2 million dollars a year and we have a
capital budget of around 7 to 8 hundred thousand dollars, so in terms of budget
we are about $3,000,000. We are going through the budget process right now.
That is kind of an overview of our Department. If there are any questions, I
will be happy to answer them.
Mr. Kobza: To what extent is Administration involved with the concert series?
Mr. Holley: We do not have a special events coordinator. It is a team effort.
The Center Supervisor at that particular park and the Recreation Superintendent,
Marilyn McGinty who used to work here. Mary, the Supervisor at Cambier Park, and
myself, would meet periodically with the Fine Arts Director and Special Board,and
we put that package together. We'll have a meeting Monday to critique the three
concert series and then start planning for next year. Our concert series were
funded - we raised about $30,000 through a brochure mailed through a developed
sponsorship levels and we also had a major sponsorship in Germain. As special
events grow and expand, we will have to have a member to coordinate these events.
Mr. Kobza: The concert was excellent.
5 Magionne was great, and not a single
event happened. There must have e
Mr. Holley: We had a big week. We even tried a street dance on Friday night
and had about 3,000 people. The big push right now is marketing the corporate
sponsorships and selling to the private sector - that is what you do to keep
operational . It takes a lot of time and puts a lot of strain on staff. Our
-5-
job is to put on a program for all. Our staff has fun with special events, but
some things have to be pushed aside.
Mr. Crawford: It is a high priority area in each County plan or State plan - the
key is funding. One way to improve upon that, and I am working now with the State
Department of Natural Resources, at negotiating a management lease of 5,000 linear
feet of beach south of Lely Barefoot Beach. This is one of the ways, without
looking at significant dollars for acquisition, to provide at the local level ,
and have local control. Change of the coastal construction line, which will be
acted on in two weeks, will help us in providing access to the beach for the public.
Mrs. Boorman: Anything we can come up with towards solving the problem will make
it easier for the elected officials.
Mr. Crawford: One of the ways of insuring beach access may be through any develop-
ment taking place on beach access areas, would be requiring these people to provide
public access. We need something the public can walk or drive in. The beach is
the best resource asset on the west coast. We have seen beach accesses disappear
over a period of time.
Ms. Vega: Public access without parking is no good.
Mr. Holley: We do not have a specific level of service for beach access.
Mr. Crawford: We originally did and the numbers were shocking. We took a median
standard between the State recommended outdoor recreation plan and FRPA and NRPA
standards - just to meet that recommendation in Collier County would have been
over $100,000,000.
Mr. Holley: One access point per thousand. When establishing the level of ser-
vice the County had a consultant. We took the DNP recreation standards per capita.
Governments were allowed to set a level of service and political pressures were
placed on that level, forcing you to spend a lot of money. When the County went
through the review process there was a lot of gasping at the dollars. Each govern-
ment could set a very low level of service, so they did not face that building
moritorium. We used the State level of service, altered in some cases, based on
per capita - number of tennis courts, ballfields, etc. Over the next five years
we need to acquire/construct a football/soccer field and develop 12 acres of
neighborhood parks now, and have funding for this in addition to other improve-
ments. We have used beach access points, extended to mean high water line, and
we have improved parking and provided dune walk overs. The City and County into d
out an Agreement for beach maintenance - money from the parking meters goes
account and maintenance comes out of that budget. Permits are issued to resi-
dents and you can park in permit spots for free. Either winter residents, or visi-
tors, are paying for the beach maintenance. The Police Department patrol comes
out of that budget, some of our improvements at Lowdermilk, our small effort at
beach renourishment as well . The revenue easily covers the expenses. A portion
of the original $35,000 check was returned to the County, and to my knowlege ,
we have not asked for a payment this year. I think the system is working very
well.
Mr. Holley: Comp. Plan - goals that were set affect both of us. Impact fees -
we do not have. If we grow through annexation, it would be an option. We have
the opportunity to work together. Sabal Bay - if it goes through, it would have
an effect on Bayview Park boat launch, and we would have to work together. I
have asked for some additional parking; every weekend the Bayview lot is over-
flowing. School Board sites, artificial reef programs - while rebuilding the
City pier we are trying to work out an agreement to dump some of the debris at
off-shore reef sites. We are not faced with a deficit of facilities and it
makes my job a lot easier. We do not have capital budgets that the County has
to deal with. All our money comes from franchise fees that people pay on their
telephone, cable and electrical bills. No ad valorum taxes go toward capital
projects. That system is about to stop though, because the list of projects is
growing. The old OMC property, 78 acres of property beyond Gordon River behind
the airport is another item. We need to acquire sites before they all disappear
in a few years. As the list grows the City will have to look to bond issues or
some other method of funding, because franchise fees won't cover them.
Ms. Boorman: What is the possiblity of getting involved with the site behind
the airport? One of the negatives was it would not be as accessible to the
City population as it would to the County. What happens - do these opportunities
go away, or is there a way that some of these things could be worked out?
Mr. Crawford: You are talking why TPL came about. It came into existence to
identify sites that would be appropriate for recreation and open space and develop-
ing funding and assisting in those areas. I have not heard anything recently -
the last fund raiser was at the museum.
Ms. Vega: It is going to be an annual event.
Mr. Holley: Airport Authority - there is money budgeted by the State Department
of Transportation for acquiring property adjacent to airports for buffer zones
and they are going to pursue using that money for acquiring that site. It could
be used for passive purposes, but not residential purposes.
Mr. Kobza: To what extent do level of services of facilities the County provides -
to what extent do they overlap services the City provides? Does the County plan
take into account what 's in the City? Do you keep track of the number of County
residents using City facilities, including the beaches, and the City residents
using the County facilities?
Mr. Holley: We cut off our level of service standards. We do not feel it is
our role to provide regional parks. It was cut off at community parks. We tried
to address everything below that. We are aware of the County resident use of our
facilities. We have more of an impact from County residents than City residents
have on your. facilities. We do have, in terms of our programs, resident and
non-resident fee structure. A County resident pays 20% more than a City resident
does.Youth programs, Little League, Pop Warner, per participant fee is paid to
us based on resident/non-resident situation. But if you go to the beach or park
we do not ask where you live. No support came from the County for beaches until
the Beach Management program. We are aware the County is growing and people are
going to go to the nearest facility.
Mr. Stevens: There are no golf courses - I am a golfer.
Mr. Holley: That issue has been around for a number of years. The only hope
for golf courses would be when wheeling and dealing with developers as recreation
facilities are low on their list. Sabel Bay or Halsdatt would be an excellent
opportunity to try and acquire a public course. I do not see our Council budget-
ing money to buy acreage and building a course. It is not mandated by the State
for services. Once you set a level of service, you have to build it or buy it in
order to continue to grow. You do not see a gymnasium on the list, but I feel
that we are deficient. We have the one at the Y and the School Board's. There
are ramifications when it comes to building and funding these large ticket items.
-7-
Ms. Vega: I think one of the biggest problems we have in the City, which you do
not have, and one reason we are glad you are here, is that all your facilities
are not that old. Our facilities deteriorate quickly because of their heavy
use. We are constantly replacing things. We meet at a different facility one
night per month. Several years- ago when we met at Fleischmann, Little League was
playing there, and we were discussing charging light fees. Everyone there was
very vocal , and we did not have one person there whose child lived in the City.
A year later at a meeting at the North Center only one person who spoke lived in
the City. Many County residents historically came to the City facilities, but
as you build facilities, people will use them, and will help the City tremendously.
Wear and tear is by far one of our largest problems.
Mr. Crawford: And as Chris knows, it is more difficult to get that funded than
capital projects.
Mr. Stevens: We needed that regulation baseball field that is being built.
Mr. Holley: We had the only one for years. Obviously we are thrilled the community
parks are coming on line. We do keep statistics - only on heads - and have noticed
some drop off at Fleischmann due to community parks opening.
Mr. Crawford: East Naples will be a positive.
Ms. Boorman: I can see great cooperation between the two Boards. We can have
leagues, tournaments, etc. There is a lot that can be done in the future that
can benefit the entire County.
Mr. Holley: We were going to meet some Council members downtown and once a year
we take the Board on a tour of the faciliites. I would like to try and address
the next issue though - School Board issue. Cliff and I try to communicate as
best we can. There is some concern about competition due to annexation regarding
School Board sites. We do not want to lose sight of our common goals to provide
recreation services for our residents, but school sites were being pressed by
School Board to set up some type of agreements that you all have. It is much
less expensive for us to enter into an agreement to use the facilities than it
is for us to maintain and buy them. We, in general , feel that school sites
within City limits would be made available for us to develop facilities and
maintain them. Those sites in the unincorporated part of the County would be
available for Collier County Parks and Recreation Department. That is my
general understanding of what is talking place, nothing in writing. Obviously
there are improvements the County has made at several sites within the City
right now, mainly Seagate, that we will have to negotiate with your Department,
and the BCC, but that is an issue coming down the road. Our only opportunity
to meet our football field deficiency right now is to enter into an agreement
with the School Board at Gulfview Middle School and improve that field and count
it in terms of a facility. We are also working on plans for the Lake Park
Elementary School , when they tear down the old building and build the new, we will
be developing some facilities there. Naples High - no activity there, and I know
the County has been involved there in years past. I hope that we can work some-
thing out. Poinciana maybe another school that may be in the City. It is a
difficult situation because it negatively affects your Comp Plan to meet your
level of service standards, and then allow the City to take it over. We get
credit for it and you lose yours. I know that is an issue, let alone having
a site available. It will be an issue we are going to have to work on, some
decisions will be made at a much higher level than us, and we have to do what
-8-
we are told. The County has an interlocal agreement on school sites. It is pretty
short and basically covers all sites. The City had no desire back then in the
early 70's and the School Board was anxious to work a deal and all the sites were
there. A new agreement will have to be developed, it would be to your advantage.
The one you have is not sufficient in my mind. We will have to enter into an
agreement with them as well.
Ms. Vega: I was going to ask you if the Comp Plan goes according to population.
So if the land is annexed, they lose population - lessen population so you are no
longer responsible for those people. I am thinking of Seagate.
Mr. Crawford: 707. of use is not from the immediate vicinty at that facility.
Mr. Holley: If you lose population the level of service will decrease and vice
versa. If we gain population in an area, then we may become deficient in an area.
I was not real thrilled the way the annexation got both organizations in a com-
petitive situation. I think the ability for organizations to work together at
all levels is very important. Common problems need to be addressed because they
will not go away. Cliff and I try to talk, play basketball, etc. , but I think
there was some personality conflicts at a higher level.
Mr. Crawford: Regarding the school issue - Initially when I came here I did
not think the school agreement was working at all , but with as much work as we
have been doing recently with the School Board on several projects, I am not
so sure that it is not effective. A good example is the Vineyards - property was
dedicated jointly for school and a park property site. Jointly we have developed
a plan where the school will be developing ballfields to the County specifications,
we will be maintaining them, and we will work out other facilities. Another example
how we have worked and improved our relationship - negotiated this year for use
of Lely High for our summer recreation program. They have just plugged in
$1,400,000 for improvements. We not only have the use of those facilities, but
also the classrooms, gym and cafeteria for the kids that area with full cooperation
of Administration as well as the local principal. It is a lot of work. City,
County and the schools have to deal with a lot of levels of staff. It is difficult
but not impossible. Our philosophy for future school sites is not trying to get
involved with maintenance program management such as neighborhood school sites.
We are looking at those areas where we could successfully develop a community park.
That is where we feel our thrust ought to be in the Comp Plan. We are actually
sitting down and discussing the planning of where the school ought to be, where
the ballfields ought to be, how to get into the school, how to get into the park.
We are moving forward in that direction. Not all school sites make good park sites
and not all park sites make good school sites. Another potential site could be
the Pelican Bay site. Manatee Road in East Naples is another example where we
are master planning the whole property. East Naples Community Park is right next
to Avalon School, where we are doing things together. We have really made some
good strides. Chris can negotiate, I can negotiate, officials can negotiate, but
what makes it work is the relationship that the local principal has with the per-
son in charge of that local park. The principal has a lot of control over the
school site.
Ms. Vega: Did the Lely developer ever give land for a park?
Mr. Crawford: Originally 24 acres were supposed to have been a community park.
That property became public use but was designated a school site. Currently there
is no dedicated park land within the Lely Development Resort area, which is 2900
acres. I am working with Mr. Agnelli now trying to work out some alternative,
-9-
, preferably some land next to the school site. These developers need to provide
those facilities, or at least arrange for our communities. The way the County
received park lands, other than someone having a good heart, is if the developer
wants to increase density on the land they can trade something off, and that may
be park land. There should be a method immediately that a major developer
should be providing local parks for the people coming in there.
Ms. Vega: PUD does not provide a certain amount of public land?
Mr. Crawford: No, it does not. Recreation is a secondary issue, and can be
very often over-looked. The school system is in the same situation - no one is
looking out for them.
Mr. Kobza: How does your Board function?
Mr. Holley: Our Board sets an annual agenda and works on it in November and Decem-
ber. If any member has a particular item they want discussed, we try to include
it. The Board is responsible for reviewing the budget, operating and capital , and
our Comp Plan each year. That is required by ordinance, which defines the duties
and responsibilities, terms of office, requires us to meet once a month. We meet
in each community center one evening during the year.
Mr. Kobza: How do you advertise those meetings? How do you get people there?
Mr. Holley: We do get the numbers. Our meetings are like this one. We discuss
issues, Board makes recommendations to the Council , action items are not binding
to us as a Department, they are an advisory to the Council . Even the mechanism
of the recommendations getting to the Council , we are not comfortable with. Our
minutes are prepared and sent to the Council and I assume they are reading them.
We have to issue an annual report each year, and the format of that report is
issues addressed and recommendations, and these are the things we would like to
work on next year. The Council was taking action without the advice of the Board.
We had a workshop and those issues came out. We do not have public involvement -
do not hear operational issues. They see news releases issued every month, I
try to bring design in for special projects, but approval by the Board is not
necessary. No involvement of hiring and firing people, no expenditures of money
in the Department. It is not cut and dried, not always comfortable. I think the
Council thinks of this Board as a buffer between the public and themselves. When
it is a controversial issue sometimes it gets resolved before reaching the Council.
Mr. Stevens: What is the polcy on capital expenses opposed to normal operating
expenses.
Mr. Holley: Capital projects must be $2,000 or more with a life expectancy of
five years. Anything over $2,000 goes to them for approval. The budget is approved,
but not expending the money. The Board does not review spending.
Mr. Anthony: How does it work if an item goes before the Board of County Commissioners?
Mr. Crawford: In our case there is frustration when an item may generate from some
other department. Wemay be working on a development and someone is going to donate
some park land. When that works through another department, as it usually does, we are
not be aware of it until it becomes an agenda item. We get our BCC agenda and
there could be items on there that may be appropriate for us to review and it is
difficult because of other impacts. Lely Beach Road occurred so quickly even Staff
had minimum input because it was handled by consultants through the Public Works
-10-
Engineering Department. Our Board would look at it normally, but that is where
it becomes difficult.
Mr. Holley: There is a perception you all have is that you have a little more
authority in terms of operation of the department. As an example if Wilson, Miller
were to be paid $20,000 would the pay request be approved by the Board?
Mr. Anthony: At what level does the Board take action? If you make recommendations,
how does it get to the BCC?
Mr. Crawford: An Executive Summary goes before the BCC - it says what the item
is. If it has been reviewed by PARAB, it would have a statement saying what
action was taken. A good example where we would like to see our Board headed
would be a situation like this Bluebill Avenue boat ramp. Our Board met with
residents and acted as a buffer prior to going to the BCC. I would like to see
a greater focus on those types of issues. When the community parks were being de-
veloped the Board was very active dealing with residents. I would like to see
them more involved with long range issues than operational procedures. It
gets difficult considering the time range when meeting once a month - things
become difficult. We are working on cleaning up the language of the guidelines.
The Board comes up for review before the BCC every two years - our existing guide-
lines are not by ordinance or resolution, but actually by minutes only. It is
very broad and meant to be that way.
Mr. Kobza: It seems very similiar. Communication with the BCC is directly
correlated to the importance of the issue. I see that as being part of our func-
tion, to make sure the major issues are explored.
Mr. Anthony: If we want to get information, we get it. We review all important
documents - what happens after you do it and to what extent does the Council con-
sider it we do not know.
Mr. Stevens: The Executive Summary will show the vote of the Board and then
we follow it up on the Action List.
Mr. Holley: If I write an Executive Summary and the Board has discussed it, it
is included in the Executive Summary. I write a little narrative of it. I
hope we can do this (meeting) at least annually. I would hope that at other
meetings the Board members would do the talking. We are going on a tour of our
facilities and you are all welcome to come. It will probably take two hours as
compared to two days touring yours. We do have common issues that are affecting
both organizations and that this will be the first of meetings.
Mr. Stevens: Beaches and school issues would be the primary issues to be co-
ordinated because the greater part of your population is in that area.
City Board members left.
Mr. Kobza: Did we put the additional tennis courts in North Naples on the July
agenda?
Mr. Crawford: We need to review the Budget, public hearings will be in August,
and we need to do that in July. I have asked Ed Torroni, Racquet Club Supervisor,
to prepare some information regarding tennis court needs. While our level of
service seems to be adequate when East Naples Community Park comes on line, we
have facilities that are not adequately distributed. There are significant waiting
times, particularly at North Naples and here at Golden Gate for playing tennis
and use of the courts at night. This is a problem that we have when you look
morrommommorm
at the level of service, demand time, and location of facilities, you may still
end up with some deficiencies. The CCWTA uses the North Naples courts.
Mr. McQuillin: Collier County Women's Tennis Association League - you only have
8 people playing at one time, they also use Naples Park Elementary School tennis
courts and use Seagate?
Players are rotated and certain times of play established so you do not have a
long line of people sitting waiting.
Mr. Crawford: We received a petition requesting consideration for additional ten-
nis court construction. They wrote to BCC to redirect it. In terms of construction
each park was funded a reserve. North Naples has not expended theirs, and that
could be made available for construction if desired.
Mr. Kobza: Is the design work done?
Mr. Crawford: It would still need to be done; not a complete design, but site
adaptation. The professional fees would be less. It costs approximately
$20,000per court, including lights, and developing a reserve that may be necessary
during the construction process. We are required to take into consideration all
facilities, public, semi-public, and private. People come into the park for
another activity and decide they want to play tennis while the rest of the family
is doing something else. Generally the courts are available early afternoon, but
when you have a working community the need comes in the evening, and there are
limited tennis court facilities, particularly in the North Naples area.
Mr. Kobza: I think another thing is that there is some instruction also.
Mr. Crawford: Yes. There is instruction going on also, and this means only
one court is available. Waits of one hour are not reasonable, we definitely see
the need. Tennis courts are needed at most of the facilities with the exception
of Marco. The over-all looks OK, but when one looks at the individual playing
districts, we have deficiencies.
Mr. McQuillin: Is the problem waiting to play or is the problem they cannot play?
Mr. Crawford: People wait and then do not show up any more.
Mr. McQuillin: Isn't there someone there so you could reserve time on the courts?
Mr. Crawford: There are not enough courts. We would have to have someone there
at all times at the tennis courts. Two people staff the park and work 80 hours.
The parks are open 120 hours, so there is always a gap. We do not have staff re-
serve available for reservations.
Mr. Stevens: Generally, people wait about an hour. If they see someone waiting,
people are good about giving up the courts, but that doesn't solve the waiting
period.
Mr. Kobza: What else would we use $100,000 for? Just a question of completing
things within the park?
Mr. Crawford: If you want to give us some direction, we could do it and get it
back to you at our next meeting. I am suggesting if the Board decides to make
a decision to address it now. We can take it to BCC as part of the Budget process
so we can plan for the budget for next year.
-12-
Mr. Kobza: MOTION - CONSTRUCT TWO ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS AT NNCP TO BE
FUNDED OUT OF THE $100,000 reserve and take the recommendation to the BCC.
Mr. Stevens: Seconded. APPROVED 3-0.

.LET IT BE KNOWN that the PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD met on
this date in regular session at 8 : 30 a.m. in the Golden Gate Community
Park Administration Building Conference Room with the following members
present.
CHAIRMAN: Scott McQuillin
Kim Kobza
Gil Mueller
Absent: Charles Stevens
ALSO PRESENT: Kevin O'Donnell, Public Services Administrator
Glen Bridges, Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll and
Peek
Murdo Smith, Parks and Recreation Manager
Steve Peffers, Recreation Supervisor
Arthur Jacob, President of the Vanderbilt
Beach Homeowners Association
Keith Sowers, Stiles, Sowers & Associates
Mr. Griffin
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Kobza moved, seconded by Mr. Muller and carried unanimously, that
the minutes of May 18, 1989 be approved as submitted.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Chairman, Mr. McQuillin, convened the meeting at 8: 30 a.m.
The Vineyards schedule was given a detailed overview by Mr. O'Donnell.
It is PUD approved, there are 62 .9 acres in the corner abutting I-75
with 34 . 5 acres of that area going to Parks and Recreation for a park.
There will be extensive facilities and about 200 parking spaces.
Unit cost for each tennis court at North Naples will be approximately
$20, 000 . The bids are to be opened July 21. Substantial completion
will be September 21 and final completion by the end of September.
Mr. Jacob, President of Vanderbilt Homeowners Association,
thanked the
Advisory Board, the staff of Parks and Recreation, Mr. Sowers and Mr.
Griffin for offering to find another site for the Bluebill boat ramp.
Residents are delighted with the new site next to Wiggins Pass Marina.
The Association wants to go on record that they approve the new site
and will help in any way they can.
Mr. O'Donnell explained appraisal procedures to Mr. Griffin. He has
not talked to Real Property since appraisals were done. This
information has to be back to the Advisory Board by August and to the
Board of Commissioners early in September.

Mr. Bridges informed the Committee that East Naples Community Park is
entering its final phase. The opening ceremonies are, hopefully, to be
held August 24 . The substantial completion is August 11 and final
completion, August 18 . Final touches are going on now - wind screening
around tennis courts, bases on softball field. Everyone is confident
the dates will be met.
There was innovative thinking from the Committee re impact fees. Mr.
O'Donnell was pleased and urged them on. For instance: 1. Mr. Kobza
asked if impact fees could be lessened subsequent to issuing building
permits and when determination was made if the County has the ability
to go back in and amend the area and at that time levy impact fees. 2 .
Consider a weighted formula. The entire impact fee would be lessened
to the least populated areas, non users of parks and then the entire
impact fee would not be lost.
Mr. Kobza was impressed with the Marco facility and Mr. Murdo Smith
explained that both East and North Naples will have community centers
of approximately 5, 400 square feet, hopefully, larger. The Vineyards
will be the seventh park and a park is also being contemplated for
South Naples. There will also be small amphitheaters in both North
Naples and Immokalee to be used basically for small plays (15 people on
stage) .
Mr. O'Donnell explained that the East Naples Community Center project
was pushed back because of being over allocated so that project will be
in the fiscal year 1991 instead of 1990.
Mr. Mueller stated that the Frank Mackle Community Center needs to be
expanded and if that were accomplished the library expansion would not
be necessary. He feels there is support on Marco for increasing the
size of meeting facilities and would like to proceed to bring this plan
to fruition.
Mr. Smith introduced Steve Peffers, Recreation Supervisor, so he could
explain in detail the opening of the East Naples Community Park. The
opening will be a three part program - Day 1 (8/24, 9 : 30 a.m. ) will be
the grand opening (color guard, 21 gun salute and many dignitaries) ,
Day 2 (8/26, 10: 00 a.m. ) will be a fun day with the public and media
invited and Day 3 (9/30) will be THE Grand Opening.
There was a very intense discussion on Lely Barefoot Beach Preserve by
all present.
PARAB
07/20/89
Page 3
Mr. O'Donnell informed the Committee that the road in Lely Barefoot
Beach is under construction. This area will be maintained as a
preserve. The State is basically giving the County 8, 100 feet of beach
area. There will be two observation decks and a turn around area.
Aerial photos were shown of the area with Mr. O'Donnell giving more
explanation and location of future plans for the site. There are no
concessionaires allowed to date and none expected in the future. There
will always be a problem with parking. As this is an extremely
tranquil, serene area, in harmony with its surroundings and, with a bit
of luck, it will not be taken over by the Fort Myers Beach overflow.
The State is emphasizing "preserve" and down plays a high intensity
type of use. There is no anticipation of ever authorizing canoe rentals
or jet ski rentals. This will be an area where one brings his own
canoe and enjoys the backwaters of the preserve.
Mr. O'Donnell cannot alleviate Mr. Mueller's fear that Lee County
residents will take over the parking areas. Mr. O'Donnell explains
that the State will not allow any differential in a fee if one lives in
Collier County or outside.
Things run incredibly slow with the State but they have approved this
project and now it's a question of putting into written terms a long
term contract which would specify when we can develop it and how we can
develop it. That will take a few months to work out the language and
then back to the BCC and then to the Advisory Committee. The project
has great interest from the media, in fact, WINK TV filmed it.
Mr. Smith explained to Mr. Mueller that Tigertail parking cannot be
increased because of the environmentally sensitive nature of the
surrounds. Originally Mr. Smith met with the Conservancy and the
Audubon Society and they completely disallowed more parking in the
area.
Mr. Peffers gave details of the summer recreation program. Naples was
one of 40 communities FRPA gave training to as well as resource
materials on drug prevention. Seven sites are being utilized as summer
camps this year including the new addition of Lely High School. A
perfect site as the principal of the school has opened the school and
all its facilities to us. There are 45 kids in that program, Golden
Gate has 120 children, Frank Mackle has 85, two sites in Immokalee with
60 kids in one and 65 in the other, 45 at Shadowlawn and 60 children at
North Naples. Where there is a community center we are able to take
more kids. A food grant has also been achieved and next year we'll be
working through the school system so hot lunches can be provided. The
summer camp program has gone very well with no major problems.

24 counselors work at various sites, that plus other needed material
brings the cost of the program close to $45, 000. The cost to each
participant is $35. 00 per 3 week session. There is an After-Camp
program which is $15. 00 per 3 week session. This is a popular program
for parents who work and cannot get their children until after working
hours. Our prices are much more reasonable than any other program in
the area. The programs basically serve kindergarten through 5th grade
with more and more direction towards teens. This is a slow process as
we need counselors who are specialized as well as more facilities which
all cost too much at this moment.
As principals are responsible for what goes on in their schools some
are not supportive of our program. Mr. Smith explained that they have
what is referredson can "open
oan school" . This means
that inside
doors.school a per go
O'Donnell suggested that maybe school officials can be contacted
again and perhaps develop an area in a cafeteria as they do in movie
theatres. This cannot prevent someone wandering but it might tell the
kid that they shouldn't go beyond that point. The County has worked
extremely closely with the school district to accommodate them,
especially at Vineyards, so perhaps they can help us now to acquire
more summer program school sites.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.

Please add new Item V. - Community Park Impact Fee Districts -

Projects FY 90. (Delete the remaining items)
Please change all the remaining items accordingly.
Hope you can understand this, otherwise please give me a call and
I will try to clarify the revisions.
Thanks.
