Summary of Findings
Introduction
On January 30, 1996, a total of 1824 Collier County Parks and Recreation
survey questionnaires were mailed to registered voters living in each of Collier
County's five [5] County Commission Districts. A copy of the questionnaire
instrument is appended to this report of survey findings under TAB 9.
The survey -sample mailing list was a structured, random sample of
registered voters in Collier County provided by the Supervisor of Elections
Office. Since the list of enrolled voters had been routinely "purged" just
previous to the survey mailing by the Elections Office in order to update the list
before the Presidential Primary on March 5, 1996 - Parks & Recreation can be
assured that, with the exception of a few voters who may not yet have reported
a change of address to the Elections Office, the mailing reached the current
address of each voter household.
The number of questionnaires mailed to each County Commission
District was determined by apportioning an equal share of sample voters to each
of the Districts in relation to the total voter population in all of Collier County.
Of the total sample, 361 persons, or 19.79 percent of the 1824 surveyed
households, responded to the survey by completing the questionnaire and
returning it by mail to Parks & Recreation.
For the report of survey findings, responding voters were categorized by
the postal zip code of their residence. Zip codes were then grouped according to
their proximity to one another, and the general areas of residence were divided
into 7 zip -code groups.
Each of the tables in support of this narrative reflects responders' answers
according to: a) Zip -code areas and b) Frequency of use of parks.
1996 Parks & Recrea>Eiim Survey
Page 1-2
A survey question regarding frequency of parks use was asked near the
beginning of the survey. Those visiting parks more than once a month was the
first principal category. Those using parks less than once a month was another
category, and those who used to visit parks, or have never visited a park, or are
planning to visit a park were grouped as a category. All computer -generated
tables reflect frequency of use and the 7 zip -code categories. Zip -code groupings
and the number of responders by zip code and by frequency of park visits in
each category are shown in Table 1.1 below:

The group including zip codes 33925; 33929 ; 33933; 33943; & 33969 is
expressed in this report as residences of the southern and eastern areas of Collier
County, around Everglades City, the Goodland area, and Marco Island. Zip code
33934 is the Immokalee area. Zip codes 33939 and 33940 are residences from the
City of Naples. Zip codes 33941 and 33942 include residents who live along
Goodlette-Frank Road and the Davis Boulevard corridors, from U.S. 41 to
Airport Road.
Zip codes 33961, 33964, and 33999 are residents who live in Golden Gate
City and the Rural Estates. Zip code 33962 is in East and South Naples, and zip
code 33963 is North Naples.
The table below provides the percentage of responder from each area who
are frequent and not frequent park visitors for each zip code area is:

The zip code area with the fewest frequent visitors by percent is 33940,
the City of Naples. The zip codes with the most frequent visitors by percent are
Immokalee and Golden Gate City and the Rural Estates.
The tabulation was completed using 4th Dimension a multi -dimensional
data base program for Macintosh computers, and the computer analysis of
answers to each question reflects precisely the tabulation of individual
responses. The computer procedure for tabulating questionnaire responses and
formatting the tables that report study findings is appended to this report
under TAB 10.

The survey -questionnaire instrument consisted of nine sections, each
section composed of closely -related questions having to do with a general topic.
The general topics were:
I. Recreational Activities and Frequency of Use of Parks
II. Safety Issues at Collier County Parks
III. Evaluation of Programs Offered at County Parks
IV. Maintenance of Physical Property in County Parks and Recreation

V. Evaluation of Information Received about Collier County Parks
VI. Cost Associated with Programs and Activities at County Parks
VII. The Economic Impact and the Future of County Parks in Collier

IX. Demographic Information About the Respondent
The computer -generated tables at the back of this narrative are organized
according to the nine sections of the survey instrument.
The summary narrative arranges each group of questions according to a
hierarchy, from the question with the highest ratio to the question with the
lowest ratio.

Section 2.0: Safety Issues in County Parks
Under the heading "Question II" of the supporting individual computer
tables found at the end of this report, responders were asked to respond to five
questions about safety issues associated with park use.
Questions in this and the other sections are arranged according to a
hierarchy of total responses of residents from all zip codes, from the most
positive to the least positive responses. The reader should consult the computer
tables for responses by zip code and frequency of use.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
_ +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" _ -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. &
measures the levels ot'corrvrctron ofmWonses to each question. The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.
In general, most responders agreed that they feel safe at County parks, but
the weighted ratio is lower than for other questions, since many responders felt
unable to make judgments, presumably because of a lack of consistent familiarity
with County parks.

Table 2.0 reflects this hierarchy for the questions in Section II.

4. Pools at County Parks are 0.354 22 89 3 1 246

The above table demonstrates that of safety issues, residents identified
area beaches as the safest area among Cou= Bark areas with 212 persons or 59
percent of all respondents either strongly agree or agreeing with the question,
22 disagreeing or 7 percent, with 7 of those strongly disagreeing, while 120 or
one-third had no opinion. Among frequent visitors, 137 persons or 75 percent
of the 182 agreed, while 18 persons or 10 percent disagreed and 27 or 15
percent had no opinion. Residents along the Goodlette-Frank and Davis
Boulevard area gave the highest rating to this question; among those 49 or 68
percent agreed, while 4 or 5 percent disagreed, and 19 persons or 26 percent
had no opinion. Lowest area of agreement was in Immokalee where 2 of the 5
person agreed, 1 disagreed and the other 2 had no opinion.
In contrast, 246 or 68 percent of the responders were unable to give
positive or negative answers to a question concerning supervision and safety of
swimmers at County pools. This number includes 149 persons or 41 percent
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey Page 2-3
who never, used to or are planning to visit parks or who visit less than once a
month. This large number of "Neither or "Doesn't Apply" responses is further
understandable, since many parks do not have pools, and consequently, a great
many responders were unfamiliar with activities and practices at County pools.
Of those who visited parks one or more times a month, 111 persons or 31
percent either strongly agreed or agreed to this question, while a mere 4
persons or 1 percent strongly disagreed or disagreed about safety at and
supervision of pools.
The second highest level of agreement was in response to Section II
concerning the sufficient number of park service and personnel to ensure safety,
with a rating of 0.523 reflecting 35 persons or 10 percent strongly agreeing and
156 agreeing with a total of 191 or 53 percent agreeing to this question, while
25 persons or 7 percent disagreed and 6 of those persons strongly disagreeing.
Along the Goodlette-Frank and Davis Boulevard corridors, 26 persons or two-
thirds of the 39 who visit parks more than once a month agreed to the question.
The question concerning the safety and security of children using play
equipment in County parks received the third highest in the hierarchy of
agreement, 0.465, with 170 or 47 percent strongly agreeing or agreeing and 17
persons or 8 percent disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. Of those 124
respondents visiting parks one or more times a month, 113 persons or 91
percent agreed with the question while 11 persons or 9 percent disagreed. A
high area of agreement was demonstrated in Immokalee where 3 of the 5
persons agreed and 2 of the 5 persons had no opinion and in Golden Gate City
and the Urban Estates where 41 persons or 48 percent of 103 persons agreed
that County parks offer a secure and safe place for children.
Concerning the question about the protection assured at inland parks.
the rating was 0.434, with 165 or 46 percent strongly agreeing or agreeing that
safety was ensured, with 29 persons or 8 percent disagreeing and 167 persons or
46 percent having no opinion. Golden Gate City and Urban Estate residents
rated this question comparatively high with 56 persons or 54 percent of the 103
A
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey
Page 2-4
persons agreeing and 40 persons or 68 percent of the 59 persons in that area
who visit parks more than once a month in agreement. The lowest rating was
among those from the City of Naples. However, of the 54 respondents, 29
persons or 54 percent offered no opinion, a response that likely indicates a
relative unfamiliarity with inland parks.
Things That Make My Park Special and Improvements Needed
[Question 28a and 28b]
At the end of the survey, write-in questions concerning "things that make
my parks special" and "one or two things that need improvement" at the park
the respondent was most familiar with. When a person responding to a
questionnaire elects, voluntarily, to write in a comment giving emphasis to a
perceived problem, it is normal to report these comments. It is assumed that
this information will guide those directly involved in the use of research
findings in uncovering problems not asked about in direct survey questions.
Of the 211 responders to "things that make my park special" 8 persons
mentioned that they felt safe in their park. Concerning improvements needed,
one person mentioned a need for more security and another feels that Golden
Gate Community park is unsafe at night.

Section 3.0: Evaluation of Parks Programs
Under the section heading "Question III", responders were asked to
evaluate programs offered at County Parks. Questions are shown in a hierarchy
of total responses, from the most positive to the least positive. A good many
persons checked "Neither or "Doesn't Apply" to these questions, presumably
because they are unfamiliar with specific programs or a variety of programs and
activities taking place at County parks. See the computer tables for responses by
zip code and frequency of use.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
= +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" = -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. It
rtleaszrres the le vels ofcorl vrctlorl ofresponses to each guestton The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.
In general, most responders agreed that they feel safe at County parks,
but the weighted ratio is lower than for other questions, since many responders
felt unable to make judgments, presumably because of a lack of consistent
familiarity with County parks. Table 3.0 reflects this hierarchy.

The high number of "Neither" and "Doesn't Apply responses indicates a
lack of unfamiliarity with County Parks and Recreation Department programs.
This unfamiliarity is likely linked to the results of the section querying
responders concerning information they receive about County parks. This topic
will be examined under Section V, questions 1 through 7.
Receiving the highest rate of agreement in this section is the value of park
programs and the need for expansion of them as the populations grows, an
indication that responders understand the need for program offerings to be
enhanced in accordance with the burgeoning area population. Of the 361 total
responders, 222 persons or 61.5 percent strongly agreed or agreed, while
merely 13 disagreed or strongly disagreed. Of the total, 126 or 35 percent had
no opinion. Of frequent park visitors, 410 of the 182 or 77 percent agreed, 60 of
these or one-third of these agreeing strongly; just 3 person disagree, and 39
persons or 21 percent had no opinion.
This agreement was in Immokalee with 4 of the 5 persons agreeing and 1
having no opinion and among residents along the Goodlette-Frank and Davis
boulevard corridor, 0.912 with 51 persons or 71 percent agreeing and one -in -
four having no opinion. The lowest rating, 0.537 was from the City of Naples,
chiefly due to those residents indicating a high percent of no opinion (54
percent), an indication that many from this area may not be familiar with
County park programs. The lowest rating in this section concerned whether or
not the respondent or family have a favorite special event they attend regularly
(0.124); however, again an indication of unfamiliarity with special events is
indicated by the high percentage of the total respondents offering no opinion,
265 persons or 73 percent checking "Neither or Doesn't Apply", 19 percent
agreeing and 8 percent disagreeing. Of frequent visitors, 52 persons or 28
percent agreed, 14 or 8 percent disagreed, and 116 persons or 64 percent had no
opinion. The lowest rating was from North Naples, a negative -0.023 where 12
percent agreed, 14 percent disagreed, and 15 persons or 35 percent having no
opinion.
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey Page 3-4
The question receiving the second highest rating concerned offering more
teen programs (0.515). Of the total, the 103 respondents of the Golden Gate
Urban and Rural Estates who visit County parks one or more times a month
gave the highest rating, 0.640, with 35 or or 59.3 percent of those 59
respondents agreeing. North Naples residents, zip code 33963, rated this the
lowest of all the zip codes with the 43 respondents rating it at 0.209 with 8
respondents agreeing, 2 disagreeing and 33 or 76.7 percent having no opinion.
Receiving the third highest rating of 0.512 was the question concerning
County parks offering something for all ages and a wide variety of programs. Of
the total, 180 of the 361 or approximately 50 percent strongly agreed or agreed,
while 22 persons or 6 percent disagreed, and 159 or 44 percent had no opinion.
Among frequent park visitors, 120 persons or two-thirds agreed, 12 persons or
7 percent disagreed, and 50 or 27 percent had no opinion. The lowest rating was
from North Naples, 0.302 where 13 persons or 30 percent disagreed; however,
65 percent had no opinion, again indicating a lack of familiarity with County
park programs. The highest rating was from East Naples, 0.760, where 27 or 55
percent of respondents strongly agreed or agreed; merely one strongly
disagreed and 18 persons or 39 percent had no opinion.
The question evaluating friendliness, courteous, and value of instructors
received a rating of 0.448. Of the total, 149 or 41 percent strongly agreed or
agreed; a mere 8 persons disagreed or strongly disagreed, while 204 or 57
percent had no opinion. The highest rating was from zip code areas to the south
and east in the County, Everglades City, the Goodland area, and Marco Island,
where 18 or 47 percent of the 38 respondents strongly agreed or agreed with 1
person disagreeing and 17 persons or 45 percent having no opinion. North
Naples respondents again exhibited a lack of familiarity with programs as 33 of
43 persons or 77 percent had no opinion.
The question concerning satisfaction with a recorded response if a game is
called off received the fifth highest rating in this section, 0.443 with 137 persons
or 38 percent strongly agreeing or agreeing and 7 persons disagreeing. Of the
A
1996 Parks &r Recreadon Survey
Page 3-5
total, 217 or 60 percent had no opinion. Of the frequent visitors, 89 persons or
49 percent agreed, 7 persons or 4 percent disagreed, and 47 percent had no
opinion. The highest rating was from Golden Gate City and Urban Estates, 0.582.
Of the 103 respondents from this area, 53 persons or 51 percent agreed;
however, 46 percent had no opinion. Lowest ratings were from the City of
Naples, 0.203, where 43 of the 54 persons or 80 percent had no opinion.
That program registration is easy and efficient was rated at 0.396, with
149 persons or 41 percent agreeing; 17 persons or 5 percent disagreeing, and
195 or 54 percent having no opinion. The lowest rating was from North Naples,
0.232, with 12 of the 43 persons agreeing; 3 disagreeing and 28 or over two-
thirds having no opinion. The highest rating was from Immokalee, 0.800 and
southern and east Collier, 0.552.
A question concerning the days and times programs are offered fitting
into most persons' schedules received a rating of 0.340 with 144 or 40 percent
strongly agreeing or agreeing, 33 persons or 9 percent disagreeing and 184 or
just over one-half of respondents having no opinion. Of the frequent park
visitors, 95 persons or 42 percent agreed, 22 persons or 12 percent disagree, and
65 or 36 percent having no opinion. The lowest rating came from the Everglades
City, Goodland, Marco Island area with 38 total respondents of whom no one
agreed strongly; 13 or just over one-third agreed, 6 disagreed, 1 strongly
disagreed and 18 or 47 percent had no opinion. The highest rating was from
residents of East Naples, where 24 or over half of the 46 strongly agreed or
agreed; no one disagreed; and 29 or 63 percent had no opinion.
A rating of 0.329 was the result of the question as to whether more nature
programs should be offered. A total of 113 or nearly a third of the 361 persons
strongly agreed or agreed, and 24 or 7 percent strongly disagreed or disagreed
with 62 percent having no opinion. Of the frequent park visitors, 71 persons or
39 percent agreed, 13 or 7 percent disagreed, and 53 percent had no opinion.

agreed, 7 persons or 4 percent disagreed, and 57 percent had no opinion.
Residents along the Goodlette-Frank and Davis Boulevard corridors rated this

respondents rated it 0.326. However, two-thirds of the total respondents had
no opinion while 58 percent residing in the Goodlette-Frank and Davis
Boulevard corridors had no opinion.
In regard to a question about whether more field trips should be offered,
63 percent of the 361 respondents had no opinion while 31 percent either

Things That Make My Park Special and Improvements Needed
[Question 28a and 28b]
At the end of the survey, write-in questions concerning "things that make
my parks special" and "one or two things that need improvement" at the park
the respondent was most familiar with. When a person responding to a
questionnaire elects, voluntarily, to write in a comment giving emphasis to a
perceived problem, it is normal to report these comments. It is assumed that
this information will guide those directly involved in the use of research
findings in uncovering problems not asked about in direct survey questions.
Of the 211 respondents, 15 mentioned specific park activities and facilities
as making their park special to them, including tennis, various classes, sports
activities, exercise equipment, and games. One person warns more senior
activities; another mentioned the need for more adult activities. Another wants
more supervised activities. Another said that staff are not qualified recreation
specialists. Another mentioned that costs were too high for the short time they
spent in programs. Another mentioned a problem getting into after -school
programs.

Section 4.0: Maintenance of Park Property
Survey questions about Maintenance of Physical Property, were
apparently far easier to answer in comparison with questions concerning park
programs, since substantially fewer of those responding had no opinion,
especially concerning the top -four -rated questions that concern more general
maintenance of park land and facilities; they were more able to make a judgment
as to whether they agreed or disagreed and to what degree each agreed or
disagreed. These questions, in general, received substantially higher ratings
than the ones concerning parks programs and activities and the more specific
questions regarding maintenance of specific park equipment such as
maintenance of tennis and basketball courts, showers and pools .
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
= +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" = -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. &
rrleasures the le vets ofcorl kxtton ofresponses to each guestrorz The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.

Of the frequent park visitors from the Golden Gate area area, 52, or 88 percent,
of 59 agreed with 13 strongly agreeing. The 5 respondents from Immokalee gave
this question its lowest rating at 0.400, with 3 agreeing, 1 disagreeing, and 1

responding, 2 agreed, 2 disagreed, and 1 had no opinion. Satisfaction was low
in the City of Naples where the rating was 0.407 with 25, or 46 percent of the 54
responders, agreeing; 6, or 11 percent disagreeing; and 23, or 42 percent,

54 persons agreeing, 1 disagreeing, and 42, or 77 percent, having no opinion.
Since the median age in the City is significantly higher than the County, this
high percent of no -opinions likely indicates a lack of experience with either
adult- or youth -related park equipment. Golden Gate City and the Rural Estates

103 responders, agreeing; 2 disagreeing; and 42, or 41 percent, with no opinion.

Improvements Needed [Question 28b]
At the end of the survey, was a write-in question concerning "one or two
things that need improvement" at the park the respondent was most familiar
with. When a person responding to a questionnaire elects, voluntarily, to write
in a comment giving emphasis to a perceived problem, it is normal to report
these comments. It is assumed that this information will guide those directly
involved in the use of research findings in uncovering problems not asked about
in direct survey questions
Of the total of 100 responses, 11 mentioned the need for more and
improved children' plgygi:ound equipment. Please see the Demographic
Section: Number of Household Members by Age which demonstrates that 75
children ages 0-9 are members of the households of responders.
Another 11 mentioned facilities or settings, such as beach grooming, that
represented maintenance problems at their parks. Seven persons mentioned
the need for more parking. Another 5 mentioned improving or adding
bathrooms. Another 5 mentioned the need for more benches. Three mentioned
the need for improvement in staff attitudes. Two mentioned that their park is
crowded.
Others mentioned a variety of things listed in the computer report of
survey findings.

Section 5.0: Information Concerning Park Activities
The County Parks and Recreation Department's dissemination of
information concerning parks activities receivedcomparativelylorvratingsorl
all questionrasked with a high number of persons disagreeing with most of the
statements in comparison with those disagreeing to questions in other sections
of the survey. In fact, five of the questions received overall negative ratings as can
be seen in Table VA below. These negatives indicate that County residents are
largely not being made aware of parks activities through the print and
electronic media. Section III of this report, with its high number of those with
no opinion concerning parks activities is another indication that people are not
receiving Parks and Recreation Department literature or may have received it
but not read it, for one reason or another. It may be important for the Parks
and Recreation Department to review its information dissemination program
and make improvements including distribution, use of media, and design,
according to the negative ratings received in this section.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
= +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" = -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0. and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. &
measures the le eels ofcorlvrction ofresponses to each question The advantage of
u

using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.

the highest rating in this section, 0.146, still considerably lower than the
highest ratings received in previously discussed sections. Of the total, 154
persons or 43 percent agreed while 107 or 30 percent disagreed, with 100 or 28

percent having no opinion. A significantly higher rating was received from the
North Naples area, 0.418, where 22 of 43 or just over half agreed. A
comparatively low rating came from residents along the Goodlette-Frank and
Davis Boulevard corridors, 0.041, where 31 or 43 percent of the 72 persons
agreed and 28 or 39 percent disagreed. Of the 182 frequent park visitors, 93
respondents or just over half agreed, while 62 persons or 34 disagreed, and 27
persons or 15 percent disagreed.
Apparently, a great many County residents are unacquainted with the
Leisure Line brochure on County parks. Of the total, 106 or 29 percent agreed
while 105 or 29 percent disagreed with 150 or 42 percent having no opinion.
Residents of the southern and eastern part of the County, Everglades City, the
Goodland area, and Marco Island, represented the lowest rating of all the zip
codes, -0.157 with 10 of 38 persons or one-fourth agreeing, 13 disagreeing and
15 having no opinion. A higher rating came from residents of Golden Gate City
and the Rural Estates, 0.194, where 44 persons or 43 percent agreed and 28
persons or 27 percent disagreed while 31 persons or 30 percent had no opinion.
Of the 182 frequent park visitors, 78 respondents or 43 percent agreed they use
the leisure line brochure, 54 persons or 30 disagreed, and 50 persons or 27
percent had no opinion.
In answer to a question concerning receiving information through the
newspaperresponders replied in the negative, at -0.027 with 116 persons or
nearly one-third agreeing, 123 persons or just over one-third disagreeing and
just over one-third having no opinion. Of the frequent park visitors, 71 persons
or 39 percent agreed, 68 persons or 37 disagreed, and 43 persons or 24 percent
had no opinion. No one in the Immokalee area indicated they had seen
newspaper advertising. Among the Goodlette-Frank and Davis Boulevard
corridors residents, 21 or 29 percent of the 72 responders agreed while 32 or 44
percent of the responders disagreed. North Naples residents gave this question
the highest rating of the zip codes, 0.255 with 18 or 42 percent of the 43
responders agreeing while 8 persons or 19 percent disagreed and 17 persons or
39 percent had no opinion.
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey Page 5-4
In reply to having other means of getting; information about parks,
responders' rating was -0.149 with 40 of 361 or 11 percent agreeing, 92 or 25
percent disagreeing, and 224 or 63 percent having no opinion. Of the frequent
park visitors, 31 persons or 17 percent agreed, 55 persons or 30 disagreed, and
96 persons or 53 percent ha no opinion. Four of the 5 responders from
Immokalee agreed with this question. All other zip codes rated this in the
negative with the highest negative from Golden Gate City and the Rural Estates
with 11 of the 103 persons agreeing, 37 of them disagreeing and 53 percent
having opinion. Of the 182 who visit parks one or more times a month, 31
respondents or 17 percent agreed they have other means to get information
about park activities. Other means will be commented upon when open-ended
questions are discussed.
Residents answered negatively to the question concerning having
received parks brochures through the schools, a rating of-0.168. A total of 54
persons or 15 percent agreed; 107 persons or 30 disagreed with 18 of those
disagreeing strongly, and 200 persons or 55 percent had no opinion. Of
frequent park visitors, 41 persons or 23 percent agreed, 62 persons or 34
percent disagreed, and 79 persons or 43 percent had no opinion. Residents in all
zip codes gave this a negative rating, except for the 5 responders from
Immokalee, with 2 agreeing, to disagreeing and 1 having no opinion. The most
negative rating came from the City of Naples, -0.259 where only 4 of the 54
persons agreed; 16 disagree and 34 or 63 percent had no opinion.
Of the total responders, 81 persons or a little over one -in -five of the 361
responders had heard radio announcements providing information about parks
activities and services; 147 or two -of -five had not; another 133 or nearly two -of -
five did not know, the overall rating being a negative -0.210. Of frequent park
visitors, the rating was even lower, 0.280 with 48 persons or 26 percent
agreeing, 94 persons or 52 percent disagreeing, and 22 percent having no
opinion. East Naples zip code 33962 was the only area where responders rated
this question in the positive area, with a third of 46 agreeing, 13 or 28 percent
disagreeing, and 18 persons or 39 percent who did not know. In Immokalee 3 of
5 disagreed and and 2 did not know if they had heard announcements or not.

Those in southern and Eastern Collier rated this low, a negative -0.394 with 6 of
38 or 16 percent agreeing, 17 persons or 45 percent disagreeing and 15 persons
or 39 percent having no opinion.
In regard to seeing television commercials providing information, all
areas except North Naples and the City of Naples replied negatively with the
overall rating at-0.282. Of the total, 80 persons or 22 percent had seen
commercials. Disagrees totaled 161 persons or 45 percent, and 120 persons or
one-third did not know. Of frequent park visitors, 45 persons or one-fourth

and Golden Gate City and the Rural Estates,-0.514.
Things That Make My Park Special and Improvements Needed
[Question 28a and 28b]
At the end of the survey, write-in questions concerning "things that make
my parks special" and "one or two things that need improvement" at the park
the respondent was most familiar with. When a person responding to a
questionnaire elects, voluntarily, to write in a comment giving emphasis to a
perceived problem, it is normal to report these comments. It is assumed that
this information will guide those directly involved in the use of research
findings in uncovering problems not asked about in direct survey questions.
Of the 211 respondents, at least 4 persons do not distinguish a County
park from a City or a State park.

Section 6.0
Section 6: Pages I-7
Costs Associated With Park Activities
1*1
1996 Parks 6r Recreation Survey page 6-I
Section 6.0: Costs Associated With Park Activities
The series of questions in Section VI dealt with costs associated with
activities in County parks. Generally, a high percentage of respondents had no
opinion or were skeptical when asked questions about costs in relation to
specific programs in County parks. However, respondents did not indicate they
would participate more if programs were less expensive, and, in general, they
believe program costs to be in line with program values. Respondents, even
those who visit the parks one or more times a month (frequent visitors), are not
willing, in principle, to donate time or money to programs. This may be because
the questions are not specific; they do not explain how much money or time
would be appropriate and what the specific volunteer tasks might be.
Respondents agree overwhelming that residents should have free use of the
beach and a little less strongly that non-residents should pay a small fee for
beach use.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
= +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" = -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. &
Measures the levels ofcorlvlctron ofrporfses to each gues&on The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.

Things That Make My Park Special and Improvements Needed
[Question 28a and 28b]
At the end of the survey, write-in questions concerning "things that make
my parks special" and "one or two things that need improvement" at the park
the respondent was most familiar with. When a person responding to a
questionnaire elects, voluntarily, to write in a comment giving emphasis to a
perceived problem, it is normal to report these comments. It is assumed that
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey
Page 6-7
this information will guide those directly involved in the use of research
findings in uncovering problems not asked about in direct survey questions.
None of the 211 responders mentioned costs being too high The
exception was one person who said programs were too costly for the short
amount of time spent in them.

The Future of County Parks:
Economic and Revenue Considerations
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey Page 7-1
Section 7.0: The Future of County Parks
This section of the survey included questions relating to the economic
impact and the future of public parks in Collier County. None of the four
options to fund acquisition of more park lands is looked upon favorably. All
four of the questions dealing with ways to fund acquisition of County park
lands were replied to in the negative, with fewer objections to the use of impact
fees to fund acquisitions than to use of property taxes, independent taxing
districts and bond issues. Of the four, responders indicated that a property tax
increase was the most objectionable way to fund park land acquisition.
Respondents viewed the creation of small neighborhood parks and utilizing
school sites for parks more favorably than building larger regional or
community parks. It is clear that responders would like to have more senior
citizen centers in parks.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
_ +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" _ -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. &
maysures the le vels ofco17wa7on of miponres to each gzrest7on The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.

Section 8.0: Rating Park Facilities
In this section of the survey, responders were asked to rate the park they
visit most or are most familiar with. If the park does not have the facilities, area,
or equipment discussed, they were asked to check "Does Not Apply". Here,
because of space limitations, the categories of "Neither" and "Does Not Apply"
are joined. Since it was impossible to create a table for each park (this would
have entailed creating multiple tables for the same questions, it will be assumed
that persons in each of the zip codes are rating a park or parks near where they
live.
A high number of no opinions indicates that responders are not familiar
with all aspects of the park they visit most, Le they may be familiar with tennis
or basketball courts but not familiar with racquetball courts or toddlers' play
equipment. Some of them do not visit a park often enough to make judgments
about specific facilities and equipment in parks. The ratings of frequent visitors
become important in this section, as they are the most familiar with a park or
parks.
Weighted Ratios are Constant Reference Points
The appended computer tables are reported in a manner that arrays them
in a hierarchy from the highest degree of weighted agreement ["strongly agree"
= +2.0 to the highest level of weighted disagreement ["strongly disagree" = -2.0.
The tables demonstrate the response to each question as a weighted ratio,
summarizing the five response options: Strongly Agree equates to +2.0; Agree
equates to +1.0; Disagree equates to -1.0; Strongly Disagree equates to -2.0, and
Neither or Doesn't Apply to 0.0. The weighted ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of the number [(+2.0 x n)+(+1.0 x n)+(0.0 x n)+(-1.0 x n)+(-2.0 x n)] by the
number of respondents [361].
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey Page 8-2
The weighted ratio is a common denominator used to compare responses
in one table to a corresponding number in the same table or another table. It
measures the le eels ofcoww stow ofrespornses to each question The advantage of
using the weighted ratio is that it functions as a reference point of comparison.

122 or 34 percent had no opinion. Of frequent visitors, 249 respondents or 82
percent agreed, 17 percent agreeing strongly, while 10 persons or 5 percent
disagreed, and 13 percent had no opinion. Those residents who expressed high
ratings rated their park as safe were from Immokalee, 1.200 and from southern
and eastern Collier 0.789. The lowest rating was from City of Naples residents.
0.351. While 20 or 54 persons or 37 percent agreed, 5.5 percent disagreed while
31 or 57 percent had no opinion.
In regard to plantings being well -maintained and not interfering with

disagreed, and 21 percent had no opinion. Another high rating was from The
Goodlette-Frank and Davis Boulevard corridors, 0.750. The lowest rating was
from City of Naples residents where 22 persons 41 percent agreed, while 55
percent had no opinion. Second lowest was from North Naples residents, rating

M
1996 Parks & Recreation Survey
Page 8-5
percent agreed, 4 persons 2 percent disagreed, and 54 persons or 30 percent had
no opinion. Highest ratings were from Immokalee, 0.800 with 3 of the five
agreeing, one disagreeing and 11 having opinion, and from the southern and
eastern part of the County, 0.684 where 22 or 58 percent agreed, no one
disagreed, and 16 or 42 percent had no opinion. Residents of the City of Naples
rated this the lowest in comparison to the other zip codes, 0.296 and 16 persons
30 percent agreed, but 69 percent had no opinion. The people of East Naples

was from City of Naples residents where, 0.240 with Z8 percent agreed 9
percent disagreed, and 34 or 63 percent had no opinion.

SKIMMER RULES
The Gulf Coast Skimmers Water Ski Show is dedicated to
deliver the finest amateur water ski show emphasizing
traditional Christian family values. The show will serve as
a vehicle to teach at risk and financially challenged kids
how to water ski. The adults will serve as upstanding role
models and be prepared to communicate life experiences.
The Gulf Coast Skimmers will be perceived by the public, the
media, sponsors, and the kids as one of the finest civic out-
reach programs in Collier County. In addition, maintaining
harmony with our immediate neighbors will be a top priority.
Finally, no individual or anything is more important than the.
reputation and integrity of the Gulf Coast Skimmers Water Ski
Show.
-John Gursoy- 1992
P.S. Skimmers... behave accordingly... attitude is everything!!
SHOW DAY RULES
ARRIVAL TIMES:
Equipment carriers and boat towers are to arrive 3 hours
prior to show. Skiers that will be participating in group
practice need to be prepared to set up equipment beginning 45
minutes before practice time. (NOT PERSONAL equipment... club
equipment). Failure to do so, the skier forfeits group
practice.
GROUP PRACTICE:
Practice begins 2 1/2 hours prior to the show (for skiers who
participate in set up only). For skiers planning to ski or
crew in the show, arrival deadline is 60 minutes prior to
show. Those who set up for the show... ski, those who arrive
late ... don't ski.
Practice is strictly for group acts only, no individual acts
will be practiced. Exceptions to group acts will be hop dock
starts or sitting dock starts, which will be pulled by the
Wave Venture, and skiers must be in line and ready or will be
skipped. Individual practice during this time will be the
Show Director's or President's decision.
I have read and understand the above
-1-
The Show Director has the discretion to decide what acts will
be practiced each day ... no exceptions unless discussed with
the Show Director. Any poor sportsmanship displayed will
result in automatic dismissal from the show, suspension or
termination.
Group practice ends PROMPTLY 45 MINUTES BEFORE SHOW TIME.
All team members must participate in pre -show set up. It is
each individual member's responsibility to check and double
check not only the show schedule, but guardian angel
responsibilities and ski and prop pick up schedule, as well.
(It is each individual's responsibility to know where he/she
is scheduled). No schedule changes will be tolerated except
those made by the Show Director, or President. No
exceptions.
Optional practice times and tickets can be purchased at the
concession table ONLY after clean-up has ended and after the
club meeting. No exceptions. No money will be exchanged
during optional practice. Tickets are sold through the
concession stand..no exceptions, no ticket, no ski! Any
member using up an optional slot without a ticket will be
either expelled from participating in future optional
practices, suspended or terminated... no freebies!!!
Additionally, if a skier or skiers have obviously practiced a
considerable amount more than the others, they may be asked
to step out of line for a certain period of time. If this
becomes a problem the skier will be asked to sit out the
remainder of practice.
Practice is for everyone! The Show Director has the
discretion to decide if a certain act needs extra attention
and should be practiced a few times. If anyone is found
using up group practice for their own benefit (solo practice)
WITHOUT permission from the Show Director, they may be asked
to sit out the remainder of practice and will be counseled.
It is required that we use a "one line formation" for ski
practice. Each skier must be prepared with his/her equipment
prior to his or her turn. Each turn will consist of one
barbell formation unless specifically working on a skit or
act for the show. If the skier is starting from the water,
coils must be held out in front of them and the skier must
indicate they are ready to ski by using the word "DRIVER".
I have read and understand the above
-2-
*Complete comprehension of hand signals must be met in order
to ski with the organization.
Land practice is necessary and will be practiced while other
acts are on the water.
The Show Director will use discretion to determine if a skier
is in full practice of routines including dances, skits,
climbing acts, etc ... and may pull any skier from any act with
which he/she is not familiar. The President and drivers have
this same right.
Note: Should practice be delayed for any unforeseeable
reasons, practice time will be adjusted accordingly.
Each practice session will be expected to conclude on time
regardless of when it commences or regardless of how many
turns each skier receives. No exceptions. At the conclusion
of each practice session, all skiers must return all
equipment used to their proper locations.
Once practice concludes, job duties will commence. Every
skier will also be expected to prepare for the show at this
time (i.e. show suit, make-up, costumes, props, etc.). Note:
all skiers will be expected to be present 1 hour before the
show to set up acts, etc. Those skiers leaving the premises
during practice time are expected to return on time. Failure
to do so should affect their participation in the ski show or
in future ski shows such as suspension or termination. If a
team member should leave during group practice time without
notifying the Show Director or President, upon return they
will have forfeited their remaining ski practice time.
No skier will be permitted to ski during any other time prior
to the show.
DURING THE SHOW:
Safety is the top priority, with 100% attention on the show.
Unnecessary chit chat or visiting is unacceptable and must be
saved for later. Our audience deserves 110% until they have
left the site.
Appropriate conduct and behavior during the show is
mandatory. All of the required practice rules apply during
show time.
I have read and understand the above
-3-
M
Skiers should only be seen on the water and not seen or heard
outside or inside of the fenced skier area.
No yelling from the dock to get the attention of someone
during the show. Showmanship is critical. Big smiles and
waves are mandatory, most importantly after a fall. This
will motion to the boat driver that you are okay. If you
should fall, hold up your ski to identify yourself to passing
boats.
Each skier coming into shore is required to pause, wave, and
smile after landing and must maintain smiling and waving
until behind the fence. When presenting an act, skiers
should be aware where the act is on the water and at the
appropriate time, present that act looking at the crowd, not
the skier.
During the show, designated costumes must be worn. No other
costumes (shorts of a different color and designs, girls
bathing suits other than teal or purple) will be allowed.
Failure to comply will result in non -participation in show.
Failure to properly replace costumes to designated spot,
rinsed and hung properly will result in removal from that act
in the future.
It is required that guys and any assigned member of the Kids
in the Hood program be alert to pick up any skis on the
beach.
At the finish of group or girls acts, guys are required to
present the act coming in off the water by kneeling on one
knee with one arm extended. Skiers on the dock are required
to present skiers on the water by kneeling on one knee or
standing with one arm extended.
AFTER THE SHOW:
ALL participants are expected to help clean-up and put away
equipment (helping with skis, ropes, fence etc.) regardless
of other volunteered or appointed duties. Skiers are
expected to stay for meetings unless they have permission to
leave (case by case situation) decided by the Show Director
and/or President. Persons that miss meetings are expected to
contact the Show Director to be updated.
I have read and understand the above
-4-
L
APPEARANCE:
Hair for guys must be above ear level, above the eyebrows in
front, and to the top of the collar in the back. Hair styles
should be conservative (i.e. no shaved designs, unusual hair
dying, braid variation, beads, or shaved underneath long
hair).
Girls may wear their hair at any length, but it must be worn
back out of the face and eyes for unobstructed vision,
appearance and safety purposes. Hair styles should be
conservative (i.e. no shaved designs, unusual hair dying or
beads). Refusal to comply will result in suspension,
termination, or an invitation to rejoin Kids in the Hood.
Sunglasses:
NO sunglasses will be permitted 30 minutes prior to the show
or 30 minutes after the show.• Exceptions would be for boat
drivers only. If not participating in the show and you are
asked to critique the show from the bleachers sunglasses may
be worn. When speaking to any guest, please remove your
sunglasses. Anyone not complying with this and found wearing
sunglasses during half-time or in front of the crowd or when
greeting the crowd will be suspended from the show. When
greeting the crowd after the show; skiers are expected to
have 100% attention given to thanking them and shaking hands.
No personal conversations should be taking place between
members. If a friend approaches you please step out of the
line to speak with them.
Jewelry:
No jewelry will be permitted during ski practice or show time
due to the risk of loss and safety hazards. This applies to
men and women. (The only exception to this is small post
earrings for women only).
Clothing:
Clothing is not to be worn inside out. Club T-shirts and
white T-shirts are the only acceptable T-shirts to be worn
during the show. they are to be tucked in at all times.
Standard gym short length bathing suits for men. Shorts must
be correct in size not excessively large or small. The
length must not be past mid thigh. No undergarments are to
be visible. No designs or patterns, and solid purple only.
No exceptions. Shorts must be worn with waist band around
the waist.
I have read and understand the above
-5-
t
Anyone showing up for the show without proper uniform will
not be participating in the show and will be scheduled out of
the show.
Only hats with Gulf Coast Skimmers Logo or Mercury or any
other major sponsor will be allowed at any time within the
premises of the property. This applies for show day and
group practices. Failure to comply will result in
confiscation of property until after the show.
All female skiers in any adult act must wear footless tights,
"nude" being the only acceptable color, no "ivory" or
"suntan". They must be in good condition. Show Director
will pull any female skier from acts in the show without
tights.
Makeup for girls is mandatory and should be worn bright
enough for the audience to see but in a tasteful manner.
Each girl will wear makeup in a similar fashion for
consistency.
ATTENDANCE:
Absentees need to give notice at least 24 hours prior to the
show. If a skier is absent more than two consecutive shows
they are expected to contact the Show Director regarding
their intention to return; the assumption will be made that
you will be absent until prior notice is given to the Show
Director and you will not be considered in scheduling.
CONDUCT AND BEHAVIOR:
During youth practice, adult practice and shows, all skiers
must keep controlled behavior and conduct. The following
items will not be tolerated:
-no consumption of food, drink, alcohol, gum, or candy of any
kind in the boats (anytime), on the dock (anytime), or during
the show in view of the audience. No food during the show
and 30 minutes before and after the show.
-no alcohol or drugs at any time within eight hours of ski
practice or show. No illegal drugs of any kind at any time
by anyone will be permitted. Adults using prescription drugs

September 20, 1996
Last week, as a follow up to our telephone conversation, 1 faked you We calculation based
on my personal situation, showing that: for any husband and me, the same tennis activities
would cost 457 % =ore in the coming year, than It did lia the current year.
That alone could mare anyone hyEVr-ventilate, but there is more to be old about the
propo3ed framework in which the cast Increase is structured.
Pleaac review the following carisiderations:
l . In addition to the 35% increase in the Annual Passes charged to a couple,
there arc the newly Introduced court fees for the use of the tennLs courts.
2. While it is understandablethat the increased Annual Charge becornes effective at the
expiration of the previous arrrnmi period, and is not prorated a$ of the time the increase
Cakes effect, the game conalcier;t,ivn cannot be ustt.fled for the Court Fees. which are
brand new for everyp9d r sse of fac "ober 1 �1$96_
3. Had there always been Court Fees, which now became Increased, a staggered
effective date could be jusUfla >le. (although that is not how they do it In corrunerctal
establishments for an increase in Court Fees), but with the introduction of a whole new,
different co_nce _t of increastiv, � tie cost for the Lasers of the facility, that nr_w charge should
be applicable for all, when It be--cornes effective. - -
4. Some use the argurrrent that the person who joined lust June should not be charged
as of the October 1/90 effective date. because they were not told of these new charges.
Weil, what if l joined h years avp.-) In Octorier, and I was assured that there are no Court Fees
or hourly charges?
Theoretically, a person °vr, ho joiner: many years ago, and had been paying the steedlly
increasing annual fees, would a-,ot only face an increased fee In October, but would start
paying the court fees , whlir, a #�erson, who just. Ioined 3 we.C1_g aao, not only pater! lower

people who have a lot of tirnc at their disposal, and is punitive to the more "phrrsical
fttne5s, exercise Cr�risCIOU5' ty of tennis play singles) and t_o people with limited time.
6. The cost of social tennLs is barely altered by the new Court Fees, and it was
suggested that in order to keep,tn�ow(as in last year) I_ghould pIAv jp the leR ue.
This is fszteresting, because it f-; the leagues, and other Social tennis activities than costs
money to run, All that organizing, telephoning, TnUing, matching, canceling and
substituting is what requires manpower, vet tlteir cost is unaffected,_while nobg4y.has to
organize mrames, and I arri looking at a 457% increase I
Am I required to subsidize the- leagues ?
7. "Social tennis" benefits in other ways, for example learues, grouvs, etc.. get rip ority

Mr. Max H. Hasse Jr.
3340 23rd Ave. S.W.
Naples, Fla. 33999
Dear Max,
First of all, congratulations on the dedication of our newest
park, named deservedly in your honor. As an East Naples res-
ident, taxpayer and business owner for 25 years, I know person-
ally of your community involvement and service to Collier county.
My most vivid remembrance was of you appearing at the opening
of the Gulf Coast Little League, located behind Naples Manor,
back around 1984. You were the only public official who ever
did make the effort to let the working people and their young
family members aware of an official support for Little League
ball in East Naples.
My purpose in writing to you is to make you aware of a potential
problem which can be easily averted with proper planning. My
property and home, along with perhaps 15 others, is located dir-
ectly adjacent to the planned pionic, swimming, and hiking area
in the new 0ugden Regional Park at Lake Avalon. I have publicly
spoken to the County Commissioners, planning engineers, and the
Parks and Recreation board expressing my concern for the proper
construction of the county mandated "buffer area" between the
park boundries and the existing neighbors.
The Sugden Park has all the potential to become a very popular
facility, and deservedly so. Parking has been planned for 300
plus cars, meaning the lake has the potential to draw 600-700
people. Unfortunately, there is only limited area for these
people to enjoy the park, because it is not fully funded to dev-
elop the entire parcel. This means that the existing neighbors
may potentially experience a "fishbowl" effect, in which many
of the park visitors find themselves directly at our property
lines and gazing directly into our yards, which could become a
very serious invasion of our privacy.
I asked the county to place their boundry fence 15' off of my
existing fence, to ensure a true "buffer area'', but this fell
upon deaf ears as they now are positioning the fence directly
against my fence. I understand this is their perogative, but
it certainly will make it difficult to maintain a true "buffer"
area. The county has told me they intend to plant bushes which
will keep people from my backyard, but I find it hard to believe
that this will keep youngsters from traveling to the limits of
discovery, which will be my backyard fence. I have invested
much time, effort and money to make my backyard an enjoyable
place and the thought of having people lined up at my fence
invading my privacy gives me great concern.
H

I am hoping that you can ensure me that

The buffer area must be heavily and thoroughly planted with
(nature bushes. Small plants will be trampled before they have
a chance mature. It would take years for these to mature to
the extent that they would become an effective buffer. The
picnic tables must be located far enough from our property
lines to ensure our peace and quiet. They must be anchored
so they cannot be moved.
Please use your input as a member of the Parks and Recreation
Board to protect these most basic rights of a property owner.
Make sure the county does everything they can to provide the
neighbors of Sugden Regional Park with a reasonable amount
of privacy and noise oonstrainment.
