I respectfully rcquc~ your altention to a lcncr sent in April - and included herein- from CoUie~ County (Florida) M~ager Jsmei Mud~ in which Collier County requests a 19- momh delay in gae implcmcnutgon of nmv FEMA flood maps while county officials continue ~ present your agency with new and dcvclopin~ dat~ they believe will Move some siguificanl portions office county having been erroneously incltute, d in high flood ercu. Inclusion in so.called "A" flood zones will unnecessarily force upon homeowners new end significam national flood insurance pro.am premiums, This matter is of g~cat urgency. If implementation ii allowed a~ scheduled for October 1, 2003, your agency will mandat~ the collection of approxima~oly S7.$ million in federal flood imurnnec premiums from approxim~ly 7~00 homeowners in Oold~n Cre~e Eatate~ an inland contmunity of lower and ngddle class rc~idonts. Thos~ figures erc based on an average mortgage in the area of $100,000. A dchy in the implementation of thc new mal~ wi~l allow your ~cncy ,-,d Collier County to confinm to work to resolve the data disc~ep~.ncies that currently exist., Without a delay, I am afraid thc U.S. government (FEI~) will form an unnecessary financial hardship on the residents of Golden Oa~ ~. COllier County officials have bccn wo~!og for the past few years with FEMA officials to resolve the differences in dam and thc county has spent significant public dollars hiring consultants, formulating precise topographic data and employing new tcclmology in au effort to resolve differences. Specifically, I encourage tim FEMA staff to accept LIDAR topographic data into its map formulation me,hods and. thereby, achieve even ~ 'MAY, 7. 2003 8:29AM NO.~421 topol~hic detail and a~c~a~y.

Councilors and Commissioners, you know why I am here. 500 days ago, I was overcharged on the towing of my wrecked vehicle from the streets of the city and the storage in a county impound lot. I complained to the wrecker, and as a result, we are here today, with no justice and no peace. The governments that you lead cannot find any way to enforce the violations that have occurred. They keep pointing fingers at each other, saying "As I have explained to you in the past, the Naples Police and Emergency Services Department is unable to enforce a county ordinance (e.g. 99-38), especially when the alleged offense occurs outside the city limits." [City position], and "...this towing and storage resulted from a call out from the Police Department of the City of Naples...", "The City of Naples Police Department is the appropriate enforcement authority;" [County position]. I don't care about the money, I really don't. The insurance company and auto club both wrote checks to cover the bill. It's all about what happens next time, when say, your mother or my sister has an accident. These are emotionally distressing events. When I found out that my fiance (the driver) was OK, that's all I cared about. I didn't care who towed the car. I thought that if the City had given it's OK to Joe Nagy, he could be trusted to follow the rules and regulations. Not jack up the price to line his own pockets. In most cities and other jurisdictions, the police cars carry the motto ... to protect and serve..., and I don't see that here. Why? And at the county, the motto is ... exceeding expectations... What happens if they are exceeded negatively? As in surly code enforcement people who don't bother to investigate both sides of the issue before closing the matter. I hope you all will reopen the case. The City Council has suggested a workshop (time and place to be announced) be held to discuss the issues. Please ask your staff to participate and resolve, once and for all, this poorly handled situation.
