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. Elizabeth Robinson Kawczak , Andrew Kawczak, 100 Marco Villas Drive, Marco Island , F1 . 33937 . January 23 , 1996 . . - 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 .

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.

"the greatest", "totally awesome ", "absolutely perfect", "poetrry in motion ", "spectacular", "pure magic ". . . . 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.

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.

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. _ , Broadcast: Sporadic buys April - June. Intense exposure from August until 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, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola. These markets provide a blanket of coverage within Florida and strong exposure to all metropolitan areas within a days drive of Naples. The total available population reach, and driving time away from Naples, is broken down as follows: One hour - 800,000. Two hours - 5,734,000. Five hours - 11,355,000. Twelve hours - 13 ,950,000 . 6 (C) 19 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. Promotions/Publicity: In other venues this form of event has generated very 'substantial media publicity. 7 (C) 20 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 = 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. All media will be designed to reflect our objectives of commun- icating sponsor recognition, the uniqueness of our event and Naples as a destination.

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.

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.). 12 (C) 25 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. Qementher . . . . 13 (C) 26 The 9Lcco[tules . . .

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 -1- (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. -2- (D) 36 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.

Kushman Vice President Corporate Banking MEMORANDUM• DATE: December 22, 1995 TO: Staff Liaisons to all County Commission Advisory Boards, Committees, Authorities and Task Force(s) FROM: David C. Weigel, County Attorney L. SUBJECT: Distribution of Information Memo - Florid Governnment-In-The-Sunshine Law Provided herewith is a memorandum dated December 22, 1995 from the County Attorney to all staff liaisons for copying and distribution to all members of all advisory boards, committees, authorities and task force(s) established by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners. I hope this memorandum, covering some of the more practical and problematic aspects of the Florida Government-In-The-Sunshine Law applicable to public board or committee meetings, is helpful to the County staff and all board/committee members. Please make copies and distribute accordingly, and thanks for your help in this regard. dcw/tw115005 • 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. All Members of P' 1. Boards Established by the Board of County .mmissioners December 22, 1995 Page 5 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.

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. 1 (Illustration A) 1995 Canadian Attendance for Pyro Musical Productions 2,500,000 2,000,1100 1,500,000 1,000,000 500,000 Montreal Toronto Vancouver A recent study of interest levels in various public events indicated Pyrotechnical Championships attract signifcantly more interest than other events.

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: I.F.M.G.'s objectives in presenting "fantasy In fire" in Naples are as follows: 1. To establish a successful, high profile, prestigious annual event that will serve to promote both sponsor/event awareness 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 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 "Fantasy In Fire" inter-country competitions. "Fantasy In Fire" 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.

Restaurants might offer drinks, menu items, music etc. to match the countries participating in the "F"antasy In}"ire" 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. "Fantasy I n Fire" : 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.

The"Fantasy In Fire" 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. "Fantasy In Fire" Media Strategy Planned advertising worth $500,000.00 All times, frequencies and targets are for discussion only and are yet to be finalized. Broadcast: Sporadic buys April - June. Intense exposure from August until 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, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola. These markets provide a blanket of coverage within Florida and strong exposure to all metropolitan areas within a days drive of Naples. The total available population reach, and driving time away from Naples, is broken down as follows: One hour - 800,000. Two hours - 5,734,000. Five hours - 11,355,000. Twelve hours - 13 ,950,000. 6 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 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. All media will be designed to reflect our objectives of commun- icating sponsor recognition, the uniqueness of our event and Naples as a destination. The Event ¶ffantasy InfFire" (An International Pyro-Musical Competition) Show Participants/Dates Spain Saturday, November 2, 1996 Italy Wednesday, November 6, 1996 Germany Saturday, November 9, 1996 United States • Wednesday, November 13, 1996 Closing Ceremonies....Saturday, November 16, 1996 8 Show Schedule: 4:00 P.M. Gates open 4:30 P.M. Pre-show begins 7:30 P.M. "Fantasy In Fire" 8:00 P.M. Show ends 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.
