ATTENTION OF THE COLLIER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PARKS & RECREATION
On behalf of the San Marco Villas owners and renters who
signed the petition submitted to your Department , we request that
the Department refrains from building additional tennis courts at
the Marco Island Racquet Club. The proposed tennis courts would
come so close tot. the dwellings on the southern side of the club
that the occupants would be seriously disturbed. The constant
noise of tennis balls , shouts of the players , lack of privacy
during the day, and the glaring lights in the evening , would
cause such distress that the present inhabitants would be
practically forced to move out from the premises facing the
courts .
We are both tennis players and members of this club. We know
from our own experience that there are no substantial
difficulties in making a reservation a day before. We also know,
and made use of , the availability of the tennis courts located
within walking distance at Tommie Barfield Elementary School
which are available to members of the club. It may be worth while
to mention that within a short distance there are also four
courts at the YMCA.
However , if further investigation would confirm that there
is a real need to build more courts , space is available at nearby
Frank Mackie Park for at least four more courts adjacent to the
basketball area , as well as at the north end of the soccer field .
If more clay courts are particularly needed at the Racquet
Club, the preferable solution seems to be to replace the three
hard surface courts with clay, and build hard courts at Mackle
Park.
The implementation of the project would directly affect
twelve town-house type condos . We have been advised by Real
Estate professionals that there will be a significant reduction
in the value of these properties as a direct result of this
project . Moreover , all the property owners at San Marco Villas
will be affected to some degree, because of the inevitable change
in the type of occupants of the twelve condos directly involved.
We discussed the situation with our neighbors , and we know that
if additional courts are built four of the owners will try to
sell , and three of those who rent would not be willing to renew
their lease .
We therefore request your Department to find an alternative
solution acceptable to all those involved.

PETITJON AGAINST THE EXTENSION OF THE TENNIS CoURTS BY THE
COILJER COCNTY RACQUET CENTRE
We , the owner3 and renters residing at: SAN MARCO VJLLAS ,
Marco. Island , strongly oppose the plans of the Collier County
Department of Parks and Recreation to build additional tennis
courts on the land adjacent to the condos in Marco Villas Drive .
The reasons for our opposition to this project are :
1 ) The djstance between the projected .7.ourts and the condos
will he only a few feet. , ensuring that the occupants will be
plagued by the constant. noise of tennis balls , shouts of the
players and total, lack of privacy from 8 a .m. to 10 p.m. The
noise and the glaring lights will violate our , , space and make
the use of the rooms facing the tennis courts uninhabitabli, .
It is contrary to good zoning practice , and to civilized
neighborhood , to build tennis courts almost on the doorstep oS
:
the homes of other people. .
') ) Building more tennis courts in this part of Marco Island is
unwarranted , as many of the existing courts at. the Racquet
Centre , Tommie Barfield School and the YMCA are often empty .
However , if the Collier County finds it necessary to build more
courts , there are more appropriate sites , inc:Itidny Frank Mackle
Park.
3 ) The proposed extension of the courts will substantially
decrease the value of the fifteen condos involved, and make them
virtually impossible to sell . As none of the owners were informed
about the possible extension of the courts before buying , they
would expect to be compensated for _the diminished value of their
property , should the project go ahead .
4 ) As tax payers to Conier County the affected condo owners
have the right to be protected by the County ayainst measures
which would have such a devastating effect on their lives , and
which seriously decrease the value of their property .

Attention of the Executive Board .
San Marco Villas ,
Marco Island. January 2 , 1996 .
Dear Members of the Board,
We have learnt that Collier County Department of Parks and
Recreation intend to remove the trees separating our row of
condos from the tennis courts, and build more tennis courts in
place of the trees . We request that our Board contacts the
Department of Parks and Recreation immediately, and requests that
they refrain from proceeding with this project. If the Department
would refutie to respect our concerns, further action would be
necessary .
We understand that a restraining order can be issued by the
Municipal Council , or failing that, by the court of law. -
There are very serious reasons to oppose and prevent this
project :
1 ) The distance between the existing courts and our condos
is so short that further courts of a regular size would come very
close to our condos . It is contrary to good zoning practice, and
to the minimum standards of civilized neighborhood to build
tennis courts just at the doorstep of someone else 's residence.
The constant noise of tennis balls and shouts of the players
from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. , combined with the glaring lights from
dusk until closing time, will make the life of they adjacent
residents intolerable. It must be emphasized that due to the
absence of supervision before 8 a.m. the courts are frequently
used by the public from the very early hours of the morning.
2) The project to extend the courts will substantially
decrease the value of the property, and even make the adjacent
houses impossible to sell .
3 ) Building more tenni courts in this part of the Island is
clearly not warranted . Several of the existing courts of the
Collier County Racquet Centre of Marco Island are much of the
(.n 7
•
time unused at certain times of the day. There are also several
courts which .are often empty behind the Barfield Elementary
School , ,ifld which are within walking distance of the Racquet
Centre, as well as the tennis courts at the YMCA, a short
distance from the Centre. As so many of the existing courts in
this area seem to be empty so often, it is hard to avoid the
conclusion that building more tennis courts is an unnecessary
investment, and a waste of taxpayers money.
We bought our condo on the assumption that it is separated
from the tennis club by a distance that substantially lowers the
volume of the noise, and that the trees protect us from the glare
of the €ennis court lights. If we"-lad known of such a project, we
decidedly would not have bought this condo .
The noise, the glare of the lights, the lack of privacy,
would make our condo and those of our neighbors virtually
uninhabitable.
4 ) As tax payers to Collier County we have the legitimate
right to be protected by the County from measures which have such
damaging consequences on our lives, and which seriously decrease
the value of our property.
Yours truly,
AAA.CW

Modern Pyro Musical competition was introduced by the French
in Cannes in 1960. This represented the first synchronization of
sound with a fireworks display.
Sadly, after Cannes the Pyro Musical disappeared. It did not
reemerge for nearly 25 years. Then in spectacular fashion the
Pyro Musical was reborn in 1985 through the efforts of Frank
_:, Furtado at the Benson & Hedges International Fireworks
Competition in Montreal, Canada. This event has drawn an
average of 2.2 million spectators annually ever since.
There is universal appeal to Pyro Musicals ! ! !
Since reemergence in Montreal, competitions have spread to
Toronto, Canada (1.5 million spectators annually), Vancouver,
Canada (1.4 million spectators annually), Sweden, Spain, Monaco,
Mexico and this year to Costa Rica. (Illustration A)
The fully synchronized Pyro Musical is far more absorbing than a
simple fireworks display. The melding of music and synchronized
light has impact. It can draw tears, laughter, let the spirit soar. It
draws you in and strongly affects you on an emotional level.

International Fireworks Management =Group (IFMG) specializes in
conceiving and producing "World Class" international fireworks
competitions. Its founders Peter D. Foy and Frank Furtado have
in excess of fifty years combined show business and major

has nearly 20 years marketing experience. His credits include
development of national sales and promotional programs for two
of Canada's premier retailers, and several large manufacturers.
Peter and Brian both reside in Naples.
A Proposal
International Fireworks Management Group Inc. is in the process
of developing = the first International Pyro
Musical competition in the United States. Funding for the event
will be provided through private and public sponsorships and
ticket sales.
It is our hope to find a suitable venue within Collier County.
is conceived as an annual event. We are
(C) 15
interested in a three to five year commitment with an option, at
both parties agreement, to a further period of time.
The following is an outline. It is intended to show our interest in
Lake Avalon as a preferred venue and initiate the process for
county approval of this sight.
Hosting this event would create tremendous awareness of the
new facilities at Sugden Regional Park and provide a great vehicle
for launching the parks opening.
Proposed Operational Budget: $1,300,000.00
Marketing Objectives:
LF.M.G.'s objectives in presenting in Naples are
as follows:
1. To establish a successful, high profile, prestigious annual event
that will serve to promote both sponsor/event awarene§'s and
promote Naples as a beautiful family vacation destination
unique to the Gulf Coast.
2. To attract 75,000 people into Naples at a time traditionally
viewed as off season (the event will draw 100,000 patrons
with 25,000 of local origin). The result will be strong benefits
to Collier County hospitality, retail and recreational establish-
ments. 3
(C) 16
3. To promote public awareness of Sugden Regional Park and the
many other areas of natural beauty around Collier County.
4. To present an event of the highest quality. An event offering
such beauty of sight and sound that it remains memorable
and thus self promoting.
5. To involve all of Naples in international festivities surrounding
the = inter-country competitions.
Communication Specifics
Advertising and promotional materials will be designed to
achieve our marketing objectives through proper com-
munication of the following features of Collier County, Naples and
the "Fantasy in Fire" Event.
Collier County & Naples:
1. Naples offers beautiful beaches, warm temperatures (include
average air and water temperatures) and gorgeous sunsets.
2. Naples offers a full range of accommodations from prestigious
destination resorts to quality accommodations for the budget
conscious.
3. The Collier County area offers, the natural splendor of wildlife
preserves and numerous recreational areas.
4. Naples offers a range of Cultural activities including a
Philharmonic orchestra, art galleries and theatre.
(c) 17
5. Naples offers extensive culinary diversity through its
numerous restaurants.
6. Naples offers shopping diversity with opportunities to shop
national and regional chains as well as many unique local
establishments.
Area restaurants and retailers will be encouraged to join in the
festivities. Restaurants might offer drinks, menu items, music
etc. to match the countries participating in the _ _ _
competition. Retailers might dress their staff or decorate their
stores to promote participating countries. Prizes will be awarded
to the best or most original as judged by the Naples paper.
1. A "World Class International Pyrotechnic Competition". A
truly unique expression of color, design and synchronization
of sight and sound.
2. Private manufacturers representing their home countries
compete for a prestigious locally designed trophy.
Performances express the unique personalities of the
participants and will be judged on the architecture of their
expressions.
3. will be the first event of its kind presented in
the United States. Millions in Canada and abroad flock annually
to presentations done by the International Fireworks
Management Group. International Fireworks Management
Group is a company uniquely experienced in conceiving and
producing "World Class" international fireworks competitions.

(C) 18
4. The - - ...- will also include other talents to
entertain our patrons before the competition. These will
consist of hang glider performances, water ski shows and a
night kite show.
- Media Strategy-
Planned advertising worth $500,000.00
All times, frequencies and targets are for discussion only and are
yet to be finalized.

Radio will tentatively focus on All News AM formats and Easy
Listening and Oldies FM formats. These formats will be refined by
market as required to ensure we reach the primary target
market for our event (30 - 70 years., Male/Female).
Television buys will be kept to local broadcast stations and
frequent exposure in cable services across the state. Use of cable
provides a more focussed cost effective means of reaching our
target market. Media packs will be sent to editors in all out of
state markets identified as feeding ceople into Southwest Florida.
Print:
The print campaign will consist of newspaper ads in major Florida
markets, specialized magazines that appeal to travellers and
certain other magazines that effectively reach our target
customer.
Newspaper and tourist orientated speciality publication ads
should run in certain warm regions of Florida in March and April
to reach many of the seasonal visitors to these areas. May - June
will include state wide ads. Regular and increased frequency ads
will begin in August running up to the event.
Media packs will be sent to editors in all out of state markets
identified as feeding people into Southwest Florida.

'substantial media publicity.

(C) 21
Show Schedule: 4:00 P.M. Gates open
4:30 P.M. Pre-show begins
7:30 P.M.
8:00 P.M. Show ends
Admission: Reserved: $ 15 .00
General: Adults $ 10.0 0
Children $6.00
Show Concept/Theme:
It is our intent to create an international festive atmosphere
surrounding the event. The main event each day is the
- presentation by one of our participating countries. A
magical mix of music and visuals created through pyro effects
launched up to 700 feet towards the heavens. Each country's
performance has a unique personality. A panel of five judges,
chosen locally, will determine the best performance. Criteria
used in judging are: synchronization, effects, originality, creative
expression and public response.
Closing Ceremonies consist of the presentation of trophies to the
winning team and a finale that comprises a medley of all
participating countries.
The pre-show will be an integral part of the event. It will include
Hang Glider Demonstrations & Shows, Water Ski Shows and a
Night Kite Show.
Concessions and Vendors:
Vendor operating hours would be 4:00 p.m. till 8.00 p.m..
(C) 22
food and beverage vendors will be chosen from
those who will support our plan of providing an international
flavor to the event. Food and beverage offerings will reflect those
of the country participating in that days competition. All
beverages available for general sale to the public would be non-
alcoholic.
Beverages to include coffee (espresso, cappuccino, special flavors,
etc.), teas, soft drinks, juices, nonalcoholic beer.
A wine/beer tasting booth featuring wines/beers from each
country represented in the competition is also proposed.
Projected Attendance:
We project a draw each evening of 20,000 - 22,000 people.
It has been our experience, after doing more than 100 present-
ations of this calibre in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Quebec
City, that the popularity of the event grows with each nights
performance. Along with publicity, the event garners strong
word of mouth.
Parking/Transportation:
Parking areas at the park will not be utilized by the general
public. Concession booths, restroom facilities, utility, emergency
and security vehicles, first aid and a production command center
will instead utilize some of existing parking space. Vacant parking
area will be used to accommodate some general admission
patrons.
10
(C) 23
Public parking would be available at off-site locations.
Buses and trams will be utilized from various pickup points
around the county during the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m..
A moderate fare will be charged for this service.
Restroom and Waste Management:
In addition to the parks existing infrastructure Collier County
Waste Management will have a Roll-Off Container located on
sight. Seventy to one hundred additional waste receptacles will
be provided, along with hauling and disposal of all related waste.
Thirty additional restroom (Port-O-Let) units will be added at
designated areas. Twelve to fifteen will be for designed for
physically challenged patrons. Servicing of the units will occur
mornings following a presentation.
While all logistics have yet to be finalized, the park will be
returned to the same condition as it was prior to the event.
Safety and Security:
Twenty four hour security for event infrastructures and
equipment would be maintained throughout the entire event.
We will provide electrical facilities for the lighting of walkways
and restroom areas. A production crew of approximately sixty
security personnel with flash lights and communication radios
will be distributed strategically throughout the park during each
show.
We will also seek the assistance and advise of Collier County
Sheriff and Fire Departments for inside park safety and security
(C) 24
and in handling traffic and safety concerns outside the park area.
Two EMS emergency units will be on site during the event.
Environmental Concerns:
All devices now being used in performances have biodegradable
components. The sight will be checked for, and cleaned of, debris
after each performance. Environmentally sensitive areas of the
park can be fenced off to limit access.
Several environmental impact studies have been completed for
other sights hosting Pyrotechnic displays. This information will
be made available for local interpretation as necessary.
Park Operations:
The park's operations during the show period will need to be
restricted. Portions of the park can remain open. Restrictions will
need to be discussed in detail with the Parks Director. All changes
to the parks normal operations will be communicated through
the media.
On performance days entrants to the park must be advised of
restricted facilities and early departure requirements (3:00
P.M.).

Conclusion
We are excited about the opportunity of bringing a really "world
class" event to Naples. _ !
The economic impact an event of this magnitude can have on the
local economy is staggering. Our estimate of direct first year
economic impact to Collier County is nearly $6 million. This
benefit could be significantly amplified through local business
involvement in festivities surrounding the event. A fall festival
could be developed.
Sugden Regional Park provides an ideal setting for staging
. The setting over water is ideal. Reflections add to
the splendor of bursting color. Access to the area is excellent.
Additional information is available upon request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVE THE
COLLIER COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO OPERATE AND MANAGE
THE TENNIS FACILITY AT PELICAN BAY COMMUNITY PARK
Objective: To determine the type of tennis facility operation and
management of the tennis courts at Pelican Bay Community Park.
Considerations: The Board of County Commissioners previously directed
staff to solicit proposals for the operation of the tennis facility at
Pelican Bay Community Park. The tennis facility at Pelican Bay
consists of eight (8) clay courts which are lighted. Proposal
specifications were developed utilizing the Board's directive that
four (4) courts remain open to the public and free of charge.
Invitations for requests for proposals were sent to 54 vendors on
October 31, 1995 . The proposal submission date was December 18 , 1995.
Two proposals were received, which were submitted by Berger/Manring
and T.M.G. The proposal submitted by T.M.G. was deemed
non-responsive, as their proposal was based on utilizing all eight (8)
courts for their operation.
The proposal submitted by Berger/Manring was reviewed and the
considerations to the County were as follows:
Lease Arrangement: (Payment to County)
First year $7 , 500 Oct - March $1, 000/month
Apr - Sept 250/month
2nd year 8 , 000 Oct - March 1, 000/month
Apr - Sept 333 . 33/month
3rd year 8 , 500 Oct - March 1, 100/month
Apr - Sept 316. 66/month
4th year 10, 000 Oct - March 1, 333 , 33/month
Apr - Sept 333 . 33/month
5th year 12 , 500 Oct - March 1, 583 . 33/month
Apr - Sept 500/month
In addition to the lease, Berger/Manring would pay the County a
percentage of the gross received as follows:
First year 0% of gross
2nd year 1% of anything over $150, 000/year
3rd year 1. 5% of anything over 150, 000/year
4th year 1. 5% of anything over 150, 000/year
2% of anything over 200, 000/year
5th year 1. 5% of anything over 150, 000/year
2% of anything over 200, 000/year
3% of anything over 250, 000/year

(D) 35
Due to the lack in number of responses from tennis professionals, one
concern regarding the proposal specifications was that only four
courts would be available for them to manage.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at their regularly scheduled
meeting of December 22 , 1995, recommended that the Department look at
an option of operation and managing the facility. Their concern was
that gaining court time and reservations for court time were the main
problems that exist at the facility, and that the Parks Department
review how this could be achieved. Also, PARAB reviewed the facility
as a community park and did not want to lose that identity.
Options that the Board of COUNTY commissioners should consider in
operation and management of the tennis facility are as follows:
1. Direct staff to negotiate with the sole responsive bidder.
2 . Consider an 8 court operation and place the management and
operation of the facility back out for proposals.
3 . The Parks and Recreation Department operate and manage the
facility.
If the Parks and Recreation Department operates this facility it could
be as follows:
The Parks and Recreation Department would contract six (6) part time
employees; three (3) 20 hours per week and three (3) 15 hours per
week, with partial benefits at a cost of $45, 600. The primary
responsibility of these employees would be to take reservations and
schedule the tennis courts at the park. Coverage at the park would be
from 7 : 30 a.m. to 9 : 00 p.m. seven (7) days per week, excluding Easter,
and Christmas holidays.
A reservation fee of $6. 00 would be charged to reserve a tennis court
for a one (1) hour and fifteen (15) minute time slot. Each court will
have ten (10) time slots throughout the day, five (5) prime time
(8 : 00 am, 9 : 15 am, 10: 30 a.m. , 4 : 45 p.m. , and 7 : 00 p.m. ) and five (5)
non prime time (11: 45 a.m. , 1: 00 p.m. , 2 : 15 p.m. , 3 : 30 p.m. and 8 : 15
p.m. ) slots. Also, considered in the scheduling of the courts is
youth will be able to play at the facility free of charge during non
prime time time slots.
Estimated revenues from reservation fees, lessons, and league play
would be $76, 000 annually. This fee will offset the cost of the six
contract employees and the total maintenance of the eight tennis
courts.
Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact of the tennis operation of the
Pelican Bay Community Park will be based on which option the Board
proceeds with. These options for operation for the facility are
highlighted above.

Growth Management: This facility is inventoried in the Collier County
growth Management Plan.
Recommendation: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the
Collier County Parks and Recreation Department to operate and manage
the tennis facility at Pelican Bay Community Park.

Re: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Vacancy
Dear Ms. Filson:
This letter and the attached resume are submitted for consideration in filling the
vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. I was born and raised in Collier
County and the Parks and Recreation Facilities have always been of great interest to
me. I participated in the Police Athletic League (PAL) as a cheerleader for eight years
and so I understand the important role that recreation facilities play in making these
important activities available to young people. I participated in the summer programs
( / that the Parks and Recreation Facilities provided for seven years. My son and I
currently utilize many of the Parks and Recreation Facilities.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my services as a member of this
advisory board. I believe that my engineering back ground will provide this advisory
board with some additional insight. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward
to your favorable review.
Sincerely,
JOHNSON ENGINEERING, INC.

authorities and task force(s) established by the Collier County
Board of County Commissioners.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 22, 1995
TO: All Members of All Boards Established by the Board of
County Commissioners (including Advisory Boards,
Quasi-Judicial Boards and Ad Hoc Committees)
FROM: David C. Weigel, County Attorney A2-44,4AL
RE: Government-In-The-Sunshine Law
(Section 286.011, Florida Statutes)
As a result of several questions that our office has
received from both advisory board members, staff members and
members of the public attending meetings, I believe it would be
helpful to summarize and clarify the Government-In-The-Sunshine
Law to assure that advisory board members (including
quasi-judicial board members and ad hoc committee members) are
aware of the basic compliance requirements of that law.
The Florida Government-In-The-Sunshine Law, Section
286.011, Florida Statutes, commonly referred to as the
"Sunshine Law," is a state statute which guarantees a public
right of access to governmental proceedings and is equally
applicable to elected and appointed boards. There are a few
exceptions to the Sunshine Law, but for your purposes the
Sunshine Law will almost always be applicable to you and your
proceedings and, unless otherwise advised by this office, it is
critical that you conduct your activities and proceedings with
the understanding that the Sunshine Law is applicable to you in
all situations. There are other requirements of the Law that
are usually addressed by County staff (e.g. , notice and
minutes) , however this memo is intended only to address the
Sunshine Law as it is applicable to the various board and
committee members. This memorandum is not intended to be
all-inclusive but rather only to remind you of the basic
requirements of the law based on questions that I have recently
received.
The Sunshine Law prohibits the discussion by two or more
members of the same board of any matter which is before that
board or will foreseeably come before that board for discussion
or action, except at a properly noticed meeting of that board
(staff handles the notice requirements) . In other words, if
two or more board members are talking about county business
which is handled by their board, the Sunshine Law considers
such activity to be a "meeting" and reasonable notice must be
given to the public of any meeting. The reason for this is to
provide an opportunity for the public to be present at the
board's decision-making process and to assure that the public
All Members of i `_ Boards Established by th
Board of County ` ommissioners
December 22, 1995
Page 2
is aware of how decisions are made. Below are some commonly
asked questions and the answers which may clarify this issue
for you.
1. Question: If I have a question about an issue which I
know will be discussed at an upcoming meeting,
can I communicate with another board member
regarding the issue either in person or through
the use of a telephone, a fax machine, a
computer, letters or memos? —
Answer: It is a violation of the Sunshine Law to
discuss the County business matter which you
know will come before your board or which will
foreseeably come before your board except at a
properly noticed meeting. Although nothing
prohibits you from calling another member to
ask the time or location of a meeting, any
discussion or communication. in person. bv_
telephone or otherwise, of the substance,
merits or issues of any County business matter
before your board or which foreseeably will
come before your board, is a violation of the
Sunshine Law.
2. Question: If I am at a meeting of my board and we are on
a "break," can I discuss issues before the
board with another member during that recess?
Answer: It is a violation of the Sunshine Law to
- discuss matters which are before your board or
which foreseeably could come before your board
except while you're in session at a properly
noticed meeting. Discussion in the hallway or
on the way to the meeting or after the meeting
are "outside of the sunshine" and are
prohibited by the statute.
3. Question: If I am at a breakfast function with six people
in attendance and one of them is also an
advisory board member (same Board) for the
County, is it a violation of the Sunshine Law
if an issue to be considered by the advisory
board is discussed and, if so, what if I
consider it rude to leave the breakfast meeting
to avoid being present during such discussion?
Answer: I can only advise you on the law and the
Sunshine Law requires that you and any other
board member present refrain from discussing
All Members of 1 Boards Established by ti
Board of County commissioners
December 22, 1995
Page 3
matters on which foreseeable action may be
taken. The practical answer is to ask that the
matter not be discussed or, at the very least,
do not participate in the discussion at all
(although some Attorney General Opinions do
recommend, that you actually leave the function,
at least during the discussion of such
matters) .
4. Question: A friend and I, prior to our appointment to an -
advisory board, always discussed matters that
our board now addresses and the only reason we
both joined the advisory board was to
participate in the process and assist the
County. Since we have always discussed these
matters, can't we still do so even though we
now belong to the same advisory board?
Answer: There is no exception in the Sunshine Law for
prior interest in the subject matter of the
board or prior mutual interests of members of
the board. Once you become a member of a
county advisory board, the Sunshine Law is
applicable and any such discussion of any
matter which is scheduled to come before that
board or which may foreseeably come before that
board is a violation of the Sunshine Law.
5. Question: Can another member of my advisory board and I
schedule a meeting with a prominent local
businessman, or a local public official or the
president of a civic group or any other person
to discuss matters which are pending before our
advisory board or which may foreseeably come
before our advisory board, for example to
solicit help or support?
Answer: There is no exception to the Sunshine Law for
this type of situation and it would be
prohibited by the statute. There is no
prohibition, however, if only one member of the
advisory board is present at a private meeting.
6. Question: My advisory board has a membership of fifteen
persons and there are five subcommittees of
three members each. Are the subcommittees
subject to the Sunshine Law?
Answer: There is no exception to the Sunshine Law for
subcommittees and all subcommittee meetings
All Members of 7 ' 1 Boards Established by th-
Board of County.-: ,ommissioners
December 22, 1995
Page 4
should be noticed and the public have the
opportunity to attend just as if it were a
meeting of your full board. This matter will
be discussed with the various staff liaisons to
the advisory boards and, if it is not being
done in every case, it will be done in the
future.
7. Question: Can my advisory board adopt rules and policies
for the conduct of the board's public meeting?
And what about audio or video type recordings
of meetings by members of the public?
Answer: Reasonable rules and policies which ensure the
orderly conduct of a public meeting and which
require orderly behavior on the part of those
persons attending a public meeting may be
adopted by the board. A rule or policy which
prohibits the use of nondisruptive or silent
audio or video type recording devices or
cameras by the media or others, however, is
unreasonable and arbitrary and is, therefore,
invalid.
8. Question: Are there any penalties for violation of the
Sunshine Law?
Answer: Any member of a board or commission of any
state agency or authority of a county,
municipal corporation or political subdivision
_ (which includes all advisory boards) who
knowingly violates the Sunshine Law is guilty
of a misdemeanor of the second degree. The
statutes also impose non-criminal penalties for
violation of the Sunshine Law by providing that
any public official violating the provisions of .
the Sunshine Law is guilty of a non-criminal
infraction, punishable by a fine not exceeding
five hundred dollars.
It should be noted that the above situations would be
prohibited by the Sunshine Law because they are defined as
meetings (two or more advisory board members present) without
reasonable public notice. The Sunshine Law does not prohibit
members of the same board from socializing, attending functions
together, golfing or any other activity as long as matters
which are pending before their board or which may foreseeably
come before their board are not discussed.

If after reading this memo you have come to the conclusion
that the Sunshine Law is construed very strictly and that it
places a strict prohibition on your ability to discuss your
board's issues with other board members outside of a public
meeting, you are absolutely correct. The courts do construe
the Sunshine Law very strictly, and I'm sure they will continue
to do so. I know that the Board of County Commissioners has
always been very appreciative of the work that is done by the
members of its various boards and committees and neither the
Board of County Commissioners nor this office would want any _
advisory board member to run into a problem in the course of
your assistance to the County. Therefore, my advice would be
to approach this issue cautiously and, when in doubt, assume
the Sunshine Law applies.
If you would like additional information regarding this
matter or if I can provide further details regarding any issue
addressed in this memo, please let me know. My office also has
copies of the Government-In-The-Sunshine Manual, which is a
very comprehensive and well written book prepared by the
Attorney General's office, and we can provide that book to you
on a loan basis or for review in our office.

Modern Pyro Musical competition was introduced by the French
in Cannes in 1960. This represented the first synchronization of
sound with a fireworks display.
Sadly, after Cannes the Pyro Musical disappeared. It did not
reemerge for nearly 25 years. Then in spectacular fashion the
Pyro Musical was reborn in 1985 through the efforts of Frank
Furtado at the Benson & Hedges International Fireworks
Competition in Montreal, Canada. This event has drawn an
average of 2.2 million spectators annually ever since.
There is universal appeal to Pyro Musicals ! ! !
Since reemergence in Montreal, competitions have spread to
Toronto, Canada (1.5 million spectators annually), Vancouver,
Canada (1.4 million spectators annually), Sweden, Spain, Monaco,
Mexico and this year to Costa Rica. (Illustration A)
The fully synchronized Pyro Musical is far more absorbing than a
simple fireworks display. The melding of music and synchronized
light has impact. It can draw tears, laughter, let the spirit soar. It
draws you in and strongly affects you on an emotional level.

interested in a three to five year commitment with an option, at
both parties agreement, to a further period of time.
The following is an outline. It is intended to show our interest in
Sugden Regional Park (Lake Avalon) as a preferred venue and
initiate the process for county approval of this sight.
Hosting this event would create tremendous awareness of the
new facilities at Sugden Regional Park and provide a great vehicle
for launching the parks opening.
"Fantasy In fire"
Proposed Operational Budget: $1 ,300,000.00
"Fantasy In fire" Marketing Objectives:

2. To attract 75,000 people into Naples at a time traditionally
viewed as off season (the event will draw 100,000 patrons
with 25,000 of local origin). The result will be strong benefits
to Collier County hospitality, retail and recreational establish-
ments. 3
3. To promote public awareness of Sugden Regional Park and the
many other areas of natural beauty around Collier County.
4. To present an event of the highest quality. An event offering

the event.
Media buys coupled with promotional arrangements will be used
in the following markets: Naples/Ft. Myers, Tampa, Orlando,
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm, Daytona, Gainesville,

market as required to ensure we reach the primary target
market for our event (30 - 70 years., Male/Female).
Television buys will be kept to local broadcast stations and
frequent exposure in cable services across the state. Use of cable
provides a more focussed cost effective means of reaching our
target market. Media packs will be sent to editors in all out of
state markets identified as feeding people into Southwest Florida.
Print:
The print campaign will consist of newspaper ads in major Florida
markets, specialized magazines that appeal to travellers and
certain other magazines that effectively reach our target
customer.
Newspaper and tourist orientated speciality publication ads
should run in certain warm regions of Florida in March and April
to reach many of the seasonal visitors to these areas. May - June
will include state wide ads. Regular and increased frequency ads
will begin in August running up to the event.
Media packs will be sent to editors in all out of state markets
identified as feeding people into Southwest Florida.
Promotions/Publicity:
In other venues this form of event has generated very
substantial media publicity.
7
A publicity campaign will begin immediately after selection of key
sponsors and sight approvals. Targets for publicity mailings to
include major national newspapers, magazines, television
stations/shows, travel agents, tour operators and group sales.
Promotions will include "Fantasy In Fire"ticket giveaways, hotel
and transportation packages, corporate sponsor tie-in promo-
tions, a contest involving logo design, a contest involving trophy
design, contest judge selection and most original festive offering.

Admission: Reserved: $ 15 .00
General: Adults $ 10.00
Children $6.00
Show Concept/Theme:
It is our intent to create an international festive atmosphere
surrounding the event. The main event each day is the "Fantasy
In fire" presentation by one of our participating countries. A
magical mix of music and visuals created through pyro effects
launched up to 700 feet towards the heavens. Each country's
performance has a unique personality. A panel of five judges,
chosen locally, will determine the best performance. Criteria
used in judging are: synchronization, effects, originality, creative
expression and public response.
Closing Ceremonies consist of the presentation of trophies to the
winning team and a finale that comprises a medley of all
participating countries.
The pre-show will be an integral part of the event. It will include
Hang Glider Demonstrations & Shows, Water Ski Shows and a
Night Kite Show.
Concessions and Vendors:
Vendor operating hours would be 4:00 p.m. till 8.00 p.m..
"Fantasy In Fire" food and beverage vendors will be chosen from
those who will support our plan of providing an international
flavor to the event. Food and beverage offerings will reflect those
of the country participating in that days competition. All
beverages available for general sale to the public would be non-
alcoholic.
Beverages to include coffee (espresso, cappuccino, special flavors,
etc.), teas, soft drinks, juices, nonalcoholic beer.
A wine/beer tasting booth featuring wines/beers from each
country represented in the competition is also proposed.
Projected Attendance:
We project a draw each evening of 20,000 - 22,000 people.
It has been our experience, after doing more than 100 present-
ations of this calibre in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Quebec
City, that the popularity of the event grows with each nights
performance. Along with publicity, the event garners strong
word of mouth.
Parking/Transportation:
Parking areas at the park will not be utilized by the general
public. Concession booths, restroom facilities, utility, emergency
and security vehicles, first aid and a production command center
will instead utilize some of existing parking space. Vacant parking
area will be used to accommodate some general admission
patrons.
10
Public parking would be available at off-site locations.
Buses and trams will be utilized from various pickup points
around the county during the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m..
A moderate fare will be charged for this service.
Restroom and Waste Management:
In addition to the parks existing infrastructure Collier County
Waste Management will have a Roll-Off Container located on
sight. Seventy to one hundred additional waste receptacles will
be provided, along with hauling and disposal of all related waste.
Thirty additional restroom (Port-O-Let) units will be added at
designated areas. Twelve to fifteen will be for designed for
physically challenged patrons. Servicing of the units will occur
mornings following a presentation.
While all logistics have yet to be finalized, the park will be
returned to the same condition as it was prior to the event.
Safety and Security:
Twenty four hour security for event infrastructures and
equipment would be maintained throughout the entire event.
We will provide electrical facilities for the lighting of walkways
and restroom areas. A production crew of approximately sixty
security personnel with flash lights and communication radios
will be distributed strategically throughout the park during each
show.
We will also seek the assistance and advise of Collier County
Sheriff and Fire Departments for inside park safety and security
and in handling traffic and safety concerns outside the park area.
Two EMS emergency units will be on site during the event.
Environmental Concerns:
All devices now being used in performances have biodegradable
components. The sight will be checked for, and cleaned of, debris
after each performance. Environmentally sensitive areas of the
park can be fenced off to limit access.
Several environmental impact studies have been completed for
other sights hosting Pyrotechnic displays. This information will
be made available for local interpretation as necessary.
Park Operations:
The park's operations during the show period will need to be
restricted. Portions of the park can remain open. Restrictions will
need to be discussed in detail with the Parks Director. All changes
to the parks normal operations will be communicated through
the media.
On performance days entrants to the park must be advised of
restricted facilities and early departure requirements (3:00
P.M.).
12
Conclusion
We are excited about the opportunity of bringing a really "world
class" event to Naples. "fantasy In fire" !
The economic impact an event of this magnitude can have on the
local economy is staggering. Our estimate of direct first year
economic impact to Collier County is nearly $6 million. This
benefit could be significantly amplified through local business
involvement in festivities surrounding the event. A fall festival
could be developed.
Sugden Regional Park provides an ideal setting for staging
"Fantasy In fire". The setting over water is ideal. Reflections add to
the splendor of bursting color. Access to the area is excellent.
Additional information is available upon request.
