Dear Chairman Matthews:
This letter is written in response to the January 31, 1995 Board of County Commissioner
discussions about combining the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) and the
Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAB). We discussed this subject at
our recent EAB meeting and it was the opinion of all the members that it would be
inappropriate to combine the functions of EAB and EPTAB. I was authorized to write to
you on this matter.
While both boards address environmental issues and require similar expertise on the part
of board members, combination of the two boards into one board would not be
recommended. EAB was organized to review the water management and environmental
impacts of specific development plans. Many of these same land development petitions
are reviewed by the Planning Commission and, eventually, the Board of County
Commissioners. In some instances, EAB is the only board which reviews a land
development project. EPTAB, however, was created to facilitate the accomplishment of
various environmental objectives of the Growth Management Plan. EAB applies the
current land development code while EPTAB develops new land development code. EAB
tends to be tactical and project specific while EPTAB tends to be strategic and broad
based.
Another reason for keeping the boards separate is due to the time available for board
members. While most people who serve on these advisory boards gladly volunteer their
time and expertise, there are limits to the time that they can donate. However, if these
two boards were combined, the resulting time commitment could be so burdensome that it
would be difficult to attract quality candidates.
Nor does there appear to be any advantage to creating one environmental board with two
subcommittees, i.e., an EAB type of subcommittee and an EPTAB type of subcommittee.
There wouldn't be any savings in County staff since the staff that assists EAB consists of
engineers and environmental specialists from Community Development while the staff that
assists EPTAB comes from the Natural Resources staff and Capital Projects.
As stated earlier, we see the functions of the EAB and EPTAB as being distinct. We also
see no advantages to Collier County in combining the activities. We would be glad to
discuss this matter with you or other members of the Board of County Commissioners.bSin rely yours,
