ADDITION TO AGENDA: Food Grant—Hand Out

VI. NEW BUSINESS
I
Food Grant—hand-out showed how the numbers have increased over a period of time.
This year food was served at 24 sites, and 8 vehicles were used for transporting the food. The
I reimbursement from the State will be in the amount of$365,735. At the national level there
were no cuts in the lunch program,which will mean no change in the program next summer.
Breakfasts served increased and snacks were eliminated; grant reimbursement is greater for the
Ibreakfasts and the children benefit more.
PRESENTATION—Roller Hockey League
IA.
Dale Krout, coach of in-line roller hockey, gave a brief history of the sport in Collier
County. The program has grown since it's inception in 1995, starting with the use of
Ia portable rink and has progressed to the use of two permanent facilities. The
league's concern is that with the anticipated future growth, the program will outgrow
the available rinks and are requesting that another be constructed. Rinks may be
Idivided for the younger groups practices, but not for the older children and adults. A
proposal is being made to remove the existing volleyball court at Veterans
Community Park and construct another rink adjacent to the existing one, which would
Ieliminate any short term overcrowding problems. For a long term alternative, it is
being suggested that the soccer field at Veterans be eliminated when the North Naples
I Regional Park opens and at that point additional parking could also be added. The
majority of the hockey participants come from the North Naples area.
The rink at Veterans is covered, reducing the loss of time available due to inclement
Iweather and is utilized practically 100% of the time. East Naples rink is not covered
and not used as heavily for practices. The League feels that Veterans is the only park
Ithat has room for another rink and is also the area where most players live.
The Naples Daily News does not publish schedules or print results of most of the
I league games. The hockey program has developed some nationally recognized
players and the program should receive more publicity. Most publicity in the Naples
Daily News is geared to high school leagues.
IStaff feels that parking is currently a problem at Veterans — no additional parking
spaces were added at the time the rink (multi-purpose facility) was constructed. The
I concrete pad, plus dasher boards will cost approximately $180,000 to $200,000,
which is probably a low estimate. The cover on the existing facility was put up in
January ata cost of$350,000.
IIn April, staff was approached by members of the hockey association and a response
from the Department was then given. Veterans is the only park with natural
I
vegetation on it. According to code 25% of native vegetation must be retained on the
property and that is the current threshold. When the park was originally constructed
drainage was not taken into consideration and every plot that has trees on it floods
I when it rains. It is a heavily utilized park with insufficient parking. Adding anything
else would cause an even larger problem. Staff is of the opinion that this park is built
out.
1
2
I
There are two parcels outside the park which could be purchased and something
I placed on them. Staff recommended at that time the Roller Hockey League and the
County work together for funding. Use of these parcels for extending the park is not
financially practical and is not being considered by the Department. One lot is selling
I at the commercial rate and the other lot is really an extension of Veterans retention
area. Purchase of these two lots did not make the Five Year Plan. A new rink would
require the new surface, retention area, and additional parking. If any improvements
I were made to this park, the Department could face a full Master Plan due to a site
change and water storage will become an issue.
I The suggestion was also made to the Roller Hockey League that something could
possibly be worked out with the school system. There is both a middle and
elementary school to the north, and also 20 acres the School Board has asked if the
I
County is interested in purchasing. Mr. Ochs requested a written response to pros and
cons for a new rink at Veterans Park; at that time the school system was not listed as
an option.
' In-Line Hockey Association Response: The reason Veterans Park was requested was
it is the location of the main facility and the League was told that all other parks were
Ibuilt out. There is a soccer field that could be moved and that area used, and the
group is working on other ideas. The Association would like to work with the County
—there may be some trees lost but that could be mitigated.
Ms. Barnett asked whether the League would be willing to provide a portion of the
half million dollars required for the project if it were decided that drainage could be
Iworked out at Veterans. None of this $500,000 has been budgeted. The League
stated they would have fund raisers if the project developed.
I
Staff clarified that there were no parks on the north side that could accommodate a
rink, but there are two areas south of Veterans that could be utilized instead. There
I are 15 acres at East Naples that are cleared and currently under permit to fill, as well
as 60 acres available at Manatee. Back in March when the suggestion was made that
the program may need to grow to the south, the In-Line Hockey Association stated
the drawback was the traveling distance was too great. At the same time TECO in
I Estero was being used, and until presently one-half of the program had gone in that
direction, which is of equal distance.
I
It is County standard practice to have two teams on one facility at the same time —
there has been a short supply of some types of facilities in the County for a period of
time. Currently East Naples rink is not being utilized 100%, there is still free time
available, while many other existing programs do not have any free time for practice
and games. The Department tries to be fair when building new facilities to satisfy all
demands. Instead of building a new facility, it would be more feasible to cover this
+ • rink and see it used to capacity before building another rink in North Naples. The
adult hockey league is sponsored by the County, but the "kids" come first for
I scheduling purposes. The two main issues seem to be whether Veterans can
accommodate another rink and the source of funding. One of the main disagreeing
factors is mitigation of the vegetation.
3
Jim Thomas, Athletic Supervisor, stated Veterans is completely built out. Any given
night there are four softball fields being used, soccer field, basketball courts, tennis
, courts, hockey rink, and meetings/programs at the Community Center. There is not
sufficient parking for the existing facilities and people park on the sides of the
I entrance road. For safety reasons speed bumps have been installed in the roads and a
gate was installed at the rink site to keep the kids from skating directly into the street.
The Department is concerned that someone will get hurt due to the lack of parking
Iand amount of traffic if more facilities were built at Veterans.
MOTION by LISA BARNETT: Deny this at Veterans because it is built out
' and in the future as we are considering the five year plan and as we are looking
at uses for additional land and acres that we have, we consider it at that time —
look at the usage and see if it is viable at that time and go from there.
'
Seconded bySam Welborn. Passed 6-0.

The PARAB Chairman recommended that when coming before the Board to use
numbers — players on team and the number of teams — not percentages. He also
Ill suggested the Association go before School Board if high school and middle school
pupils were to be using the rink. An on-site location may be better.
r B. APPLICANTS FOR PARAB VACANCIES
I Mary Ellen Rand's application was received,requesting to serve another term. It was
the lone application received. It is the Department's understanding that another
application was received after the posting deadline and will be forthcoming for the
Iother vacancy—John Grice's position.
MOTION by Sam Welborn—RECOMMEND MARY ELLEN RAND FOR
" ANOTHER TERM. Seconded by Lisa Barnett. Passed 6-0.
i
John Grice will not be reapplying for his position as he is moving to Lee County. He has
enjoyed working with the group and the diversity that has been experienced. Keep in mind we
• are one as a Board, would like to see the five year plan and the Dover Khol plan come to pass.
He asked Lisa and Ski, who both have tenure and experience, to consider taking the chairperson
next year.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARK APPLICATION—
IC.
An application was received for a neighborhood park in the Rattlesnake Hammock/
County Barn area. (Lot is commercial.) This application, along with the one from
INorth Naples for additional lots, will be voted on at the January meeting.

IMOTION by Lindy D'Amico to approve the proposed policy. Seconded by Lisa.
Approved 6 to 0.
IVII. SPECIFIC UPDATES
IIA. North Naples Regional Park
The Department is still experiencing permitting problems with South Florida Water
Management and is now going into the third submittal. Fifty per cent of wet lands on
I
site must be preserved; facilities have been moved, parking changed, picnic shelters
moved, and the size of the lake has been reduced to meet these qualifications. This
equates to 90 acres of the 212 acre parcel that cannot be developed. No credit will be
I given for existing trees in the wet areas so mitigation will be necessary, probably off-
site. The price tag is approximately $40,000,000, still climbing, and some amenities
I may have to be eliminated. The County does not have a lobbyist for SFWMD, so the
Department will look at other options. Normally SFWMD is not as stringent in their
requirements as the Corps, who have the plan out for comment and will be contacting
Ithe Department soon.
Redesign of Park: Currently the extra fee from the architect has been reduced from
Re $350,000 to $150,000, although the Department has not committed to this figure.
About 6,000 square feet of facilities have been added to the scope of the original
project and 8,000 square feet of new facilities, which are directly related to the pool
no pump house, locker rooms and another small restroom. When a decision has been
Ns made, the architect will submit five or six designs for consideration. This is a sub-
contract, the Department's contract is actually with the landscape architect. One
I option, which has been discussed, is to hire a different architect, but the Department
wishes to avoid this if possible. With a change in one member of the team, the
working relationship would improve. At this point all plans are only schematic.
' School System: A meetingwas held with the School District regarding the proposed
Y
elementary school "C" . The school system had upgraded their standard for the
ballfields so the Department's cost will not be as much as originally anticipated.
Louise Hasse Community Center is now open. The grand opening was held last
I Saturday and the dedication is scheduled for December 7th at 10:00 am Members of
the Hasse family from California will be in attendance. The fitness center had 50
people using the equipment on the first day of operation.
5
I
Sugden Regional Park: The .9 mile pathway has been paved;the entire loop is
' approximately 1.5 miles.
I
VIII. REPORTS/UPDATES
IA. MONTHLY REPORT - does the summary sheet form meet PARAB's
requirements? A new measure for budgetary purposes has been added this fiscal
year—the number of room hours available and the number of hours actually used.
B.
BCC RECAP
IThe Department was not successful in acquiring a Florida Communities Trust Grant
for the purpose of purchasing the outparcel in Barefoot Beach Preserve. As one may
apply up to 24 months after the purchase date, the Department will submit another
Iapplication after the land purchase is complete. Grant Gelhardt from Tallahassee is
going to make a site visit to actually see the impact that a commercial facility would
have on the Preserve area. He will also help with some verbiage in the application.
Mr. and Mrs. Sugden made a donation of stocks earmarked for seat backs at the Gulf
11 Coast Skimmers amphitheater. There was a little extra money left from this project
and the Sugden's desired it be used for planting at the entrance of the park.
IC. SPECIAL EVENT CALENDAR
The Snowfest flyer was enclosed in the packet with a list of upcoming events;
I however, Immokalee's "Christmas Around the World"was inadvertently omitted.
Naples Snowfest will have a sled mountain this year for the first time. This attraction
has been used successfully in Immokalee for several years.
IChristmas Around the World will be December 8th, 6:00 — 10:00 pm, preceded by a
parade.
IThe suggestion was made to change the word "Christmas" in special event titles to
"Holiday". (The tree in Immokalee is called "Immokalee Friendship Tree")
ID. PARKS UPDATE
I
Several items were previously addressed under "Specific Updates". BCBE had
ordered items for another client which turned out to be an incorrect size. They
donated them to Parks and Recreation and will be used as small shelter roofs at Aaron
ILutz Park.
Vineyards Park—the sabal palms were planted in the parking area near the school as
Ia result of required mitigation.
E. RECREATION REPORT
6
Written report was in packet. The latest Recreation Guide should be ready for
Idistribution the first week in December.
' F. ADOPT A PARK
IJohn Grice had toured Bayview and was concerned that half of the vehicles were not
displaying a paid receipt in the window; however, he forgot to look for stickers on
these vehicles. East Naples Community Park is in good shape.
IExotic removal has been completed on 15 acres of land located behind the tennis
courts. The development of this land has been permitted until next fall. As the
Ibaseball field originally planned for this location was moved to Eagle Lakes, there
will be space for a much needed soccer field and something else. Approximately two
Ifeet of fill will be required to bring the land to the proper level.
1
FYThe /2 penny sales tab did not pass so the County is looking at ways to reduce the existing
budget for fiscal year 01/02. It is not sure whether this is a result of the referendum being
Idefeated or the reduction in sales tax monies received from the State. The Parks and Recreation
Department was asked to do a exercise for 5% and one for 10% reduction of the total operating
budget. Staff reduction would not be necessary if 5% were required, but would be necessary
Iusing the 10% figures. If impact fees instead of bond monies were used for the purchase of the
property in Goodland and the Barefoot parcel (approximately $10,000,000), the Department's
planned capital projects would be pushed back approximately two years.
One option for raising additional revenue would be to charge for beach parking stickers. If$2.00
were charged, approximately$100,000 annually would be realized. Another option is raising the
parking fee from $3, in existence since 1995, to $5 per day for vehicles without stickers. The
County has already saved money by combining all outstanding loans under one bond. This
saving offset the State's first projection of County's shortfall in sales taxes.
Something everyone can do to help with the situation is to let people know that the parks and
—
libraries are important to all people in Collier County.
i
The next meeting will be held at Golden Gate Community Center on December 19, 2001.
