In order to clear the title the previous owner's son would have to convey a deed to Mr. Charloff and then Mr. Charloff to Collier County. I have spoken to Mr. Charloff several times. He is willing to sell the property, but gave no indications that he is willing to donate. Tax parcel 53 is owned by Harold W. Fisher. He owns the property by a Tax Deed recorded February 7, 1997. Mr. Fisher is willing to sell the property for the amount he paid which is $2,074.50 plus interest. In order to clear title on this property, assessments in the amount of$10,641.81 plus interest calculated monthly would have to be paid. Further, a Quiet Title Action would need to be processed through the court system before a clear title could be granted to Collier County.

Municipal Service Taxing Districts, civic association fundraising or private sector donations may be utilized to construct the neighborhood park. An ordinance creating a Municipal Service Taxing District must be created to fully operate and maintain such park, with the Board of County Commissioners as the governing Board. Parties interested in building a neighborhood park must: a) use the following definition of a neighborhood park in order to propose location, size, and service areas of the park: The neighborhood park is less than 5 acres in size with a service area for the residents in that immediate vicinity. The park is within walking or biking distance of the homes and usually includes playground equipment, basketball courts, benches and picnic tables; b) recommend boundaries of the Municipal Service Taxing District according to the local level of community support for the park; c) solicit support either by local homeowners' associations, or local civic associations by receiving a majority affirmative vote of the organization; d) present their proposal to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for recommendation; e) present their proposal to Board of County Commissioners; f) If successful, follow steps to create the respective Municipal Service Taxing District. Park financing and construction would occur following the budgeting of funds. COLLIE' COUNTY PARKS AND RT- "REATION Municipa `Service Taxing Districts to Support Neighborhood Parks 1997 PREFACE This supplement is a guideline for a party interested in building and maintaining a neighborhood park in their community utilizing local Municipal Service Tax District ad valorem tax dollars. Sections I - III define a neighborhood park, offer figures for construction and maintenance costs, and the necessary procedures to achieve a park in the party's desired location. For the party's convenience, Section IV is a study comparing construction, operating expenses, and MSTU millage rates to support two different neighborhood parks on a proposed 4..55 acre neighborhood park site, Tract 179. in Golden Gate. The first park is an active park with similar features as Aaron Lutz Park. The second park is an example of a mostly passive park. The map on the back illustrates Exhibit A-E MSTD boundaries . SECTION I.-NEIGHBORHOOD PARK DEFINITION A park less than five (5) acres in size with a service area for the residents in that immediate vicinity. A neighborhood park is within walking or biking distance of the homes and usually includes playground equipment, basketball courts, benches and picnic tables. SECTION II.-BUILDING AND MAINTAINING A PARK COST OF CONSTRUCTION Cost of construction is based on the size of the park and the recreational opportunities included in the park. Land values are usually determined by the property values of the community surrounding it. Included below is a table of average costs for additional recreational opportunities in a neighborhood park. These figures were compiled from actual purchases of these items over the last several years. Basketball Court $ 30,000.00 add lights $ 20,000.00 Playground $ 50-100,000.00 add lights $ 20,000.00 Irrigation $ 6,000.00/acre Sod $ 10,000.00/acre Site Lighting $ 2,500.00/pole Design Fees $ 5-30,000.00 Walking Path $ 7.00/linear ft. Parking Lot $ 1,000.00/ spot Ball Field(similar to A. Lutz) $ 30,000.00 add lights $ 100,000.00 Ball Field(similar to GGCP) $ 370,000.00 Basic Landscaping $ 20,000.00 Tennis Courts $ 50,000.00 with lights ompi- OPERATIONAL COSTS Operational costs are the fees needed to maintain the park on an annual basis. These costs are effected by the size of the park and the recreational opportunities included within the park. Costs include park staff maintenance hours, grounds maintenance materials, electricity, water, an equipment replacement reserve, annual debt service, inflation, interest and reserves. Park staff maintenance hours are calculated according to the logged number of hours it takes staff to clean and maintain the park times an average hourly salary of$10.00 / hour. Grounds maintenance materials include fertilizer, weed killer, additional sod, fill etc. for the park. The equipment replacement reserve is calculated according to its life expectancy. For example, a $50,000 playground will be replaced after ten years. Due to an average inflation rate of three percent (3%) annually, the same playground will cost $ 67,200 in ten yeah• Therefore, $6,720 should be set aside each year for the replacement of the playground. Lights and other fixed assets in the park are not considered in the equipment replacement reserve. The annual debt service is the amount needed to pay back the borrowed money used to construct the park. For example, the cost to construct an Aaron Lutz type park on Tract 179 was $ 363,000 and the anticipated loan was twenty years at a five percent(5%)rate. The per year cost to pay back the loan is $30,000 annually. The County calculates reserves for contingencies, i.e. emergencies, at five percent of the operating budget. FUNDING Initial construction costs for neighborhood parks may be funded by either private donations, civic association fund raisers or Municipal Service Taxing Districts which may support borrowed financing. Any financing should be limited to the anticipated life of the equipment or twenty years. Operational costs of the park would be funded by a neighborhood park MSTU. The County would provide the construction,the ongoing maintenance and a standardized schedule of equipment replacement from this funding source. SECTION III.- CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK PLAN PLANNING THE PARK- OUTLINE 1. Create a base level of community support. 2. Select the location of the park following the neighborhood park definition. 3. Select the intended use of the park: passive or active. 4. Determine the estimated construction costs and operating maintenance according to the above guidelines. (Staff will assist with questions.) 5. Create MSTU boundaries according to: a. the accessibility of the community to the park per the neighborhood park definition; b. the cost to construct and maintain the park; c. the amount of taxable values in the community; d. the estimated millage rate per resident; APPROVAL OF THE PARK PLAN After the plan has been created, support must be recognized by either the local homeowner's association or local civic associations through a majority affirmative vote of the organization. Minutes from the meeting must be submitted to staff accordingly. The proposal must then be presented before the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board which meets on the forth Wednesday at 2:00 PM monthly. Arrangements may be made two weeks in advance through the Parks and Recreation Administrative office. The proposal must then be presented to the Board of County Commissioners which meet on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM. Arrangements may be made two weeks in advance through the Parks and Recreation Administrative Office. Upon approval , a Municipal Service Taxing District will be created. Park financing and construction will occur following the budgeting of such funds. 4 SECTION IV-PARK COMPARISON Aaron Lutz Type Park Passive Park �Ceo_ .ons. � .'

Since that time, the County adopted a Growth Management Plan (GMP) that included both Recreation and Open Space and Capital Improvement Elements, and separate impact fees for Community and Regional Parks. With these tools, the County has made great strides in providing parks and recreational activities to keep pace with county growth and public demand. The park system whose new construction is fully funded by impact fees now includes neighborhood parks such as Aaron Lutz Park in Golden Gate City, community parks such as Frank Mackle Park on Marco Island and regional or beach parks such as Barefoot Beach Preserve in the northern end of the County. Each of these types of parks serves the community in different ways. As indicated above the County park system has three different park categories to meet the differing needs throughout the county. There are typically four different park types which are defined as follows: Neighborhood Parks: A park generally less than five (5) acres in size, with a service area of the residents in that immediate vicinity. A neighborhood park is within walking or biking distance of the persons that it serves and usually includes playground equipment, basketball courts, benches and picnic tables. Community Parks: A park of approximately thirty (30) acres in size with a service area that encompassing a three (3) mile radius and is considered a "drive to" park. The purpose of a community park is to provide organized recreational activities for the community. The park may include basketball and tennis courts, softball, little league, and baseball fields, football/soccer fields, playground equipment, picnic areas, roller hockey rinks, and community centers. District Park: A park of approximately 50 to 100 acres in size with a service area that encompasses a 25 mile radius. This park type is generally active in nature designed with multiple ball fields, multiple courts, and large picnic areas. This venue is designed to be able to handle not only the day to day league activities of a community, but to provide for both local and larger invitational type tournaments. Regional Park: A park of roughly 200 acres or more. A regional park is intended to provide recreational services to an area of 25 miles. The primary purpose of a regional park as originally contemplated within the GMP was to provide an opportunity for passive recreation. A regional park would contain walking trails, open space, lakes or streams, picnicking areas, environmental preserves, and possibly garden areas. A beach park was also considered to be a regional park as it provided passive recreation, and due to limited resource would naturally draw from all of the non-coastal areas of the County. 2 • SHORTFALLS OF THE EXISTING COUNTY PARK SYSTEM. A park "system" is just that, it is a system of parks that are not only well dispersed throughout a community but consists of different types of parks that meet the variety of different recreational needs of a community. The current park facility inventory is good in terms of its geographic coverage, but is limited to a very specific type of recreation need and does not provide the variety of park types necessary to be called a true system. The system is lacking in the following types of parks. 1. REGIONAL PARKS/PASSIVE RECREATION: According to the Collier County Demographic and Economic Profile (published January 1996), 44% of the County's population is over 45 years of age. The resulting demand for passive recreation is both large, and largely unmet, as the current park inventory provides very little in the way of passive recreation opportunities. What little green space is available within the existing community parks is under a great deal of pressure to be paved into new courts or developed into some other type of active amenity. An estimated 5% or twelve (12) acres of the community park system that was remaining passive green space is either in the process of or will within a year be converted to active recreation areas. Pressure will continue to turn every available square foot of park owned land into developed and "usable" space. Although the regional park originally conceived and required under the plan was one that would have matched the definition provided above, there has been no concerted effort to actual purchase land or develop any such park. This lack of activity stems from two causes; a GMP amendment, and an underestimated need for beach park and parking improvements in the original plan. A. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT: The GMP provides for a level of service (LOS) standard of 2.9412 acres of regional park land per 1,000 persons living in the County. Since adoption of the plan, that adopted LOS has created a need for 624 acres of regional park land to meet the current population (657 acres in FY 1998). To avoid having a general fund obligation to purchase 486 acres which was the "deficit" amount of acreage upon plan adoption and an ongoing obligation of approximately 30 acres of new land annually, the County amended the plan by adding all of the beach property and state park lands in the County to its regional park inventory (see Attachment A) . This automatically infused the County's regional park inventory with 1649 acres of land, immediately resulting in a surplus of 1572 acres in regional park land, satisfying the level of service requirement for roughly 50 years. 4 I 3 4 r Parks and Recreation - Regional Park Acres PARK ACRES PARK ACRES PARK ACRES SURPLUS FISCAL YEAR REQUIRED PLANNED AVAILABLE DEFICIENCY IN CIP 89-90 486 438* 438 -48 90-91 515.8 1649** 2087 1571.6 91-92 545.1 0 2087 1542.3 92-93 574.5 0 2087 1512.9 93-94 603.9 0 2087 1483.5 94-95 633.1 0 2087 1454.3 95-96*** 563 120**** 2207.3 1644.3 96-97 592.7 2207.3 1614.6 97-98 623.9 22.703 1583.4 98-99 656.8 2207.3 1550.5 99-00 691.4 2207.3 1515.9 00-01 718.9 2207.3 1488.4 2001-2002 738.6 22073 1468.7 2002-2003 758.8 2207.3 1448.5 2003-2004 779.6 2207.3 1427.7 2004-2005 800.9 2207.3 1406.4 2005-2006 821.5 2207.3 1385.8 * Beach Parks Added ** State Parks Added *** Population projection revision from University of Florida - Bureau of Business and Economic Research **** Sugden Regional Park While this plan satisfied requirements on paper, it did not provide the regional park that the Sub-Committee for Recreation and Open Space, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, the Citizen's Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission and the County Commission had originally indicated was a desired amenity for this community. B. BEACH PARKING: The original GMP under estimated the demand, need and cost for additional beach parking and beach park improvements. In fact, beach parking spaces were not even included in types of facilities that should be considered in developing the initial level of service standards. However because of the amendment to the plan described above and the resulting removal of a requirement for a true 4 regional park, funds were made available to put toward beach park improvements. The high cost of acquiring new beach front property demanded that attention be focused on maximizing the existing properties that were already County owned. As a result, over the last five years, the County has added 314 beach parking spaces, (an increase of 28 %), and spent $1,569,000 on beach park or parking construction. With an annual regional park revenue stream of $500,000 to $700,000 annually there was little revenue available even should a regional park have been considered. 2. TOURNAMENT FACILITIES AND ADDITIONAL FIELDS. Collier County's Parks Department currently either organizes or provides field and court facilities for 43 different sporting leagues (see attachment B). With the exception of tennis, Collier County's facilities do not allow for any extensive tournament play, which forces all local teams to go outside of the County for most any tournament or post season play. This also prevents local parents and followers from being able to attend and participate in these events without traveling out of town. For Youth Soccer, fields are used on Saturdays from 8 am through 5 pm with games scheduled on the hour on all of the 4 fields at the Vineyards. During that season, there are approximately 109 teams between youth and adult leagues that are using County fields. In order to accommodate the practices needed for these teams, every field in every County park is scheduled between 3 pm and 9 pm every day, and teams are also using the facilities at East Naples Middle School, Pine Ridge Middle School and Oak Ridge Middle School. This same type of situation is encountered with adult softball, little league, and women's tennis. The Department is regularly in the position of receiving requests from groups of people interested in starting new leagues which cannot be accommodated within the County's system because fields or courts are just not available. 3. AN UNMET DEMAND FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS: While the GMP and subsequent Commission decisions have supported a policy that would not have the County building or maintaining new neighborhood parks, there is clearly a public demand for this type of "walk to" park. Requests have been received in only the last two years from residents or neighborhoods in Golden Gate, Marco Island, Naples Manor, Golden Gate Estates, East Naples, Vanderbilt Beach, North Naples and Copeland for neighborhood parks. Further, because the County is bisected by major arterial roadways, the community parks are accessible to very few pedestrians or bicyclists. Veteran's, Golden Gate, and Vineyards in particular are accessible to very small populations without driving. 5 PROPOSED PARK DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 1. REGIONAL PARK: The current park plan is driven by the GMP and as far as maintaining a level of service for the population, the plan has worked. The impact fees have allowed the County to provide new facilities for the population, but is the plan providing the right facilities for Collier County today? In order to be as efficient as possible with the funds available, a single park may be used to meet the demand for not only the originally desired regional park, but for more athletic fields and a tournament type facility as well. By combining these three demands onto a single location, the County will be able to reduce the operating costs associated with either a proliferation of community parks or separate district and regional facilities. A report prepared by the Parks Department entitled Mission 2020 (prepared 12/12/96, attachment C) indicates that 2 regional parks when compared to the same number of community parks that would be required to meet the same LOS would cost $1,000,000 less per year to operate. In addition, a single park that would be designed to combine a large passive area along side tournament type athletic fields would allow the public greater flexibility in being able to participate in any number of different type activities at a one location. When looking at possible property purchases, State grant funding is much more readily available for the purchase of areas that would be used for passive recreation, and preserve or green space, significantly reducing the initial purchase price. In addition, a property that is 40% - 50% undevelopable by normal construction standards due to environmental constraints, would be expected to have a lower average price per acre than other prime property that is 80% - 90% developable. Property that is considered as undevelopable in the construction industry is often desired property for passive • recreation opportunities. Finally, in addition to meeting several recreational demands, larger multipurpose regional parks can provide communities with additional tourism dollars and opportunities. Communities with sports complexes generate an estimated revenue of $25,000 to $80,000 per sports event in tourism dollars (see Attachment D1 and D2). 2. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. The policy of not providing neighborhood parks, while reducing operating costs, is not satisfying a large segment of the recreation customer. The current system simply denies the opportunity to have future neighborhood parks or causes the County to acquiesce as in the case of the Naples Manor Tot Lot dedicated to the children who were killed in the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing. Rather than continue with such a system, it is proposed that neighborhood parks should be looked at as a higher level of service, or a park amenity that is beyond the base level of service provided by the County. A standardized method for creating 6 neighborhood park MSTDs may be developed that would provide communities that desired to have a such a park with a simplified instruction packet, and County assistance to enable the construction of such parks. The County would provide the construction, the on going maintenance, and a standardized schedule of equipment replacement. The benefiting neighborhood in return would pay through an MSTU for the costs of these services in addition to their normal property tax. This has worked well for the Golden Gate community that desired a specialized community center and which since constructed has been successfully operated and fully supported by the benefiting residents for 22 years. As an example of this on a neighborhood park scale, a look at the proposed property • that is currently being considered for a neighborhood park in Golden Gate makes for a typical candidate. The property is five (5) acres in size and has a taxable value of $77,900. Using the definition of neighborhood parks the benefiting area is • approximately one and one half square miles with a taxable value of$ 79,617,988. The estimated cost to construct the park is $463,000, with annual maintenance expenses of $34,400. Assuming as with most MSTDs that the initial construction funding is borrowed, a term of no longer than the anticipated life of the equipment is suggested or twenty years. Given current interest rates, the annual debt service, maintenance costs and an annual reserve for future equipment replacements, the annual costs would be $71,600. This would require a millage rate of approximately .9 of one mill. A proposed policy that reflects this method for allowing, and facilitating future neighborhood parks is shown see attachment "E". 3. FUNDING. In addition to providing for an established funding mechanism for neighborhood parks, an ability to fund a multipurpose regional park would require revisions to existing County park impact fee ordinances. The current ordinances are structured so that two thirds of the funding (approximately $1.6M annually) is received and dedicated to community park construction and one third (approximately $700,000 annually) for regional parks. Most counties with park impact fees in Florida have a single park impact fee that allows the flexibility to meet the needs of the park system wherever the County Commission determines them to be. In order to revise the existing ordinances, an impact fee study would be required that would develop a revised level of service and the factual basis that would allow the County to adopt a single impact fee. An estimate of this study has been obtained and would be expected to cost $25,000. According to the current ordinances, impact fees can be used to pay for such a study. Any such plan or fee revision would be expected to include some consideration of beach parking which was conspicuously absent from the original plan. In order to obtain property for a regional park in a location that would best serve the public, waiting to accumulate the funds would not be recommended even under a 7 0 revised impact fee. Borrowing against future impact fees is an acceptable practice and is what has been done historically and out of necessity to fund library expansions in the face of exploding public demand. A second option would be to fund the regional park through a bond issue similar to the one adopted for the original community park construction. The County's budget policy requires that the County not exceed a maximum ratio of total general government debt service to bondable revenues from current sources of 13%. The current ratio of debt service to bondable revenues from current sources 6.8%. The current parks general obligation bond has $5,936,100 outstanding. The bond was recently refinanced and last year's debt service payments of $918,485 have been reduced to a budgeted figure of $867,400 in this fiscal year. Using a bond issue would require a public vote. Putting the issue to the voter is also a good way to gauge the public interest and desire for such a park. Lastly, grants should certainly be included in any thinking about a park project of this type and size. Preservation 2000 funds and Florida Recreation Developmental Assistance Program (FRDAP) funds can be applied for the initial property purchase. There are very few if any grant funds available to assist with the construction portion of any park such as this. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The County has done well in meeting the recreational needs of this growing community. However, it is suggested that to continue to apply funding and effort into additional community parks, may be akin to building more and better buggy whips. The County has cost data that proves that it is efficient with the county's parks tax dollars, having the lowest maintenance cost per acre of any County in the South Florida area with a developed park systems. However, the current plan for building new facilities may not be as effective as it could be. A continued proliferation of community parks will not meet the complete recreation needs of the community, will cost more than other options in the long run to maintain, does not address the communities need for additional beach parking and does not provide the type of park system originally desired by the citizens who developed the parks system development plan. It is recommended that the County Commission direct staff to develop a new citizen's committee of interested residents, to begin to develop a revised and updated parks level of service, contract for a new update study of the parks impact fees, develop location options for a multipurpose regional park, and return with proposed plan amendments and funding options for County Commission consideration.
