Report updates were given in the following areas:
800 MHZ
David Craig reported that at the 2/15/94 Board of County Commission meeting, Mr. Earl
Hoffay, a consultant hired to review the capabilities of the existing "administrative" 800 MHZ
system, presented his lengthy report. Mr. Hoffay found that: (1) the existing system could meet
APCO-16 standards if a specific hardware configuration were provided; (2) it could NOT meet
APCO-25 standards; and (3) it could NOT meet system design recommended by DivCom. The
Board did not agree to hire (as recommended by the Productivity Committee and the Sheriff)
professional technical engineering expertise to formulate performance specifications, but rather
tasked staff(Mr. Ijams) and the Public Safety Committee(Sheriff's office, fire chiefs, and EMS)

Page 2. Productivity Committee Meeting Notes continued:
to create that specification. Mr. Craig also noted that our reports have largely been ignored by
the BCC and that no action on funding is yet evident. The Board will sooner or later have to
make a decision on whether to provide something for the short term (five years?) or a system
adequate for future long term (fifteen to twenty years) expansion.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
Mr. Tim Hancock distributed draft reports resulting from past efforts put forth by the
Development Services sub-committee. Mr. Hancock requested that each member of the full
committee review the report and return comments to him by phone or fax no later than Monday,
February 21, for inclusion into the final report. Mr. Hancock indicated that he will attempt to
set up a meeting with Mr. Dick Clark, Acting Director of Development Services prior to the
report being transmitted to the board on Tuesday, February 22.
MIS:
Christine Ramsey indicated that the proposed changes to the draft MIS report have been mailed
to the constitutional officers with instructions to return any changes to her by Friday, February
18, 1994. If no comments are received then their agreement with the report is to be assumed.
HUMAN RESOURCES:
Mr. Tony Vastola reported that the interim report is now complete and ready for transmittal to
the Board of County Commissioners.
END COMMITTEE REPORTS
Mr. Hancock then reminded all committee members that information to be transmitted to the
County Commissioners must reach Mike Smykowski by February 22, 1994.
The final item on the agenda was a reminder to all committee members of the presentation to
the Collier County Board of County Commissioners that is scheduled to occur on March 1.
An update concerning the helicopter acquisition report was then given by Mr. Marc Gertner.
The Sheriff has appointed an ad hoc committee to perform a due diligence for helicopter
acquisition which picks up where the report put together by the Productivity Committee left off.
The report being generated by this ad hoc committee has been finished and contains specific
acquisition recommendations concerning helicopter type and equipment necessary. The ad hoc
committee further stated that they were in full agreement and support of the report assembled
by Mr. Gertner's sub-committee. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned
