VI.
New Business:
A. ROW Permit Ordinance 93-64 revisions - Mitch Riley - (Attached)
Changes were sent to Committee
Minor changes
Governs work in the Right-of-Way in Collier County
Authority to making any changes was transferred from County to the
Dept. of Operations Director.
Added detail for patching "open cut" on arterials and collector roadways
Fee - took over FDOT permitting since July
Lane closure fee
Mr. Savage asked about the permitting process taking so long. This has
nothing to do with the SDP process issue and would have to be taken up with
the county attorney.
Discussion followed on throat length, modifications to SDP's, right-of-way
permits, and approvals issued. The process after the SDP is approved was
addressed.
Mr. VanArsdale asked if Mr. Riley could go back to Transportation and ask
them to add the right-of-way permits to run concurrent with the associated
SDP.
Mr. Riley stated he could take it back and see what Transportation would
suggest.
Discussion followed on the requirement of the Utility Companies to inform
the residents in the vicinity of upcoming activities prior to obtaining their
permits. Some neighborhoods were not always aware of Sprint or FPL
moving poles/or power lines of which they had the ROW permits to do so.
They would complain - so Mr. Riley stated they felt the Utility Company that
is performing the work in the ROW should do some PR and inform the
neighborhoods of the work, now it is mandatory.

A. Budget Report - Joe Schmitt - A presentation was given on the
overhead. He is creating two separate funds.
Fund 113 is for Building Permit fees, and a new fund being called "New
Enterprise Fund".
Fund 113 will strictly be for activities associated with implementation of
the FL Building Code and the New Enterprise Fund for all activities
associated with the enforcement of the Land Development Code.
- 2003 - 172 full time employees - 2004 - reduced to 97 employees in
the Building department.

- All other support activities will be spread into other departments.
- Moving from Fund 113 approx. $8M in the Budget

Discussed the various departments
Will amend the Impact Fee Ordinance - will be an Administrative Tax
on Impact fees to support the Impact fee staff. It is not a Fund 113
or General Fund functions. It is Administrative.
Discussed the different Departments.
General Fund will pay for Code Enforcement. When citations are issued
and paid - monies go to the Clerk's office and not sure where it goes
from there. Should go to Code Enforcement to pay for services. Not
sure if it goes back into the unincorporated funds to compensate for the
costs or not.

came, unless the Statutes state otherwise.
