R~$OLUTION 89-342 APPROVING THE REMEDIAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
PER TH~ STIPULATED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
October 30, 1989 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Remedial Growth
Management Plan Amendments per the Stipulated Settlement Agree.nent for
transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs.
Stan Lttsinger, Growth Management Director, noted that on
September 5, 1989 the Board of County Commissioners approved a
Stipulated Agreement with DCA which was executed by all parties on
September 14, 1989. He indicated that the Board of County
Commissioners approved initiation of a special emergency amendment
process on October 10, 1989. He explained that the following elements
are required to be amended: Future Land Use, Capital Improvement
Elements for Public Facilities, specifically the drainage sub-element,
amd Conservation and Coastal Management. He reported that the
Agreement further stipulates that the Remedial Plan Amendments adopted
pursuant to this Agreement must be consistent With and substantially
similar in concept and intent to the ones identified tn this agreement
(Exhibit "B"), or be otherwise acceptable to the DCA. He stated that
specific language amendments to the Plan elements as they appear in
Exhibit "B" of the Agreement and other related or supporting changes
are included as outlined, meeting the spirit and Intent of the parties
and implementing the remedial amendments. He noted that the Plan
Amendments under the emergency amendment procedures provided for in
Chapter 163 F.S. require a unanimous vote for final adoptior . He
advised that Staff recommends the Board of County CommissieneFs
approve the remedial amendments proposed resolution for transmittal to
the Department of Community Affairs.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the difference between the material
submttt,d today and what was previously approved by the Board of
County Commissioners. Mr. Lttstnger replied that there are some
Page 5
November ?0 1989
changes to the Future Land Use Element, deletion of Policy 5.1 and
initially recommending the Amendment of Policy 5.9, but based on the
recommendation of the CCPC, Policy 5.9 will not be changed.
SPEAKERS FOR THE AMENDMENT~ SPEAKERS AGAINST THE AMENDME, NT~
Attorney Charles Lehman, Siesky
& Lehman
Attorney James H. $iesky,
Siesky & Lehman
Attorney Bruce Anderson, Young,
Van Assenderp, Varnadoe &
Benton, P.A.
Robert Duane, Hole, Montes &
Associates
Their reasons for speaking against the Amendments were as follows:
DCA does not require changes in Sections 5.1, 5.9 or LU-I-34; erosion
to rights of property owners, Section 5.9 allows flexibility to the
Board of County Commissioners and will be instrumenta3, in adopting the
~o~tng Ordinance; add on amendments do not meet intent of Ordinance;
Staff- ~hould go through regular amendment process procedures, not
emergency amendment procedures; public advertisement states that only
the remedial plan amendments called for in the Stipulated Settlement
Agreement are the sub3ect of the hearing; Board of County
Commissioners is considering amendments other than the amendments
called for in the Settlement Agreement; public is not aware of the
changes in Sections 5.1 and 5.9; amendments will put cloud on par-
tially commercially developed properties; the rights granted in the
Comprehensive Plan, as adopted, should be retained; private property
rights are being eroded, and deletion of Section 5.1 will leave people
in limbo while the zoning re-evaluation process is underwav.
Attorney Bruce Anderson of Young, Van Assenderp, Varnadoe &
Benton, passed out the Notice of Public Hearing and referred to
the h~ghlighted sentence: "The purpose of the hearing is to consider
transmittal of remedial amendments called for in the Stipulated
Settlement Agreement with the Department of Community Affairs." (Copy
on file wi%h Clerk to the Board). He explained that the emergency
Page 6
November 7, 1989
procedure is not an appropriate vehicle to use to add other amend-
ments, and noted that the purpose of the emergency procedure utilized
under an emergency deadline is to adopt those amendments required in
the Settlement Agreement. Commissioner Saunders stated that, painful
as it is, he agrees with Attorney Anderson, and commented that when
the Board of County Commissioners was asked to approve an emergency
amendment procedure, it was for the Stipulated Settlement, not for
other amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. He advised that he had no
problem with Section 5.1 and its adoption, and noted that Attorney
George Varnadoe had recommended adoption of Section 5.1 because he had
a client off Radio Road who would be affected. Commissioner Saunders
commented that the concept is sound, but he is not sure why the County
ts using the emergency procedure to amend the Comprehensive Plan In
other areas.
Mr. Lttsinger explained that Paragraph 27 of the Stipulated
Agreement provides for concurrent amendments to implement specified
actions and noted that this is a transmittal hearing for review, not
adoption. He stated that Staff includes these amendments because they
do support the stipulated changes, implement the zoning re-evaluation
ordinance, and eliminate the possibility of a period pending th,~ eli-
mination of Section 5.1 at a future date, during which a minor change
in a Development Order that could create a consistency determination
beyond the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Barbara Cacchione. Chief,
Long Range Planning, explained that LU-I-34 creates a consistency
internally within the Comprehensive Plan tn conjunction with the
Zoning Re-evaluation Proguam. She stated that when the Zoning Re-
evaluation Program begins, all properties considered "developed" in
that Ordinance will be allowed to continue, based on the language of
LU-I-34, as it ts amended. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Ms.
Cacchione indicated that Policy 5.9 and LU-I-34 deal with developed
property and how much they are permitted to expand. She noted that
Page ?
November 7, 1989
Staff felt that Policy 5.9 addresses what developed and unimproved
property is through the definitions in the zoning re-evaluation
program, and the change to 5.9 may not be needed. She explained that
LU-I-34 is a clarification of the language In the plan, so that no
inconsistencies occur later on between the wording in the
Comprehensive Plan and what is called for in the implementation of the
ZoninG Re-evaluation Program.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Attorney Anderson roplied that
a number of his clients will be affected by the ZoninG Re-evaluation
Program. He explained that the Comprehensive Plan sets the outside
parameters within which zoning re-evaluation must occur, and his two
clients worked side by side with the County and signed the Settlement
AGreement. He emphasized that changes other than the Settlement
AGreement can be addressed in the amendment cycle beginning in
January, a more appropriate time.
A discussion followed about the rights of a property owner and
developm,~nt of his property.
Robert Duane of Hole, Montes & Associates, pointed out that he has
a client who owns a piece of property behind a shoppinG center, zoned
RSF-4, which permits 3 dwelling units per acre. He stated that in the
process of filinG a zoning application for a PUD, his client will come
in with a density at 4 units per acre or below, and noted that by
removinG Section 5.1, he must wait until the zoninG re-evaluation is
implemented, which could be 2 years. He explained that at this time,
a member of Staff reviewing the existinG conditions surrcunding the
property would determine if the zoninG is appropriate, go to Section
5.1 and determine if it is at or below the density currently per-
mitred. He pointed out that agreement could then be reached between
Staff and the applicant, the spirit and intent of the Plan.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned the problems that Staff foresees
if Section 5.1 is retained7 Commissioner Saunders commented'that
Attorney Varnadoe represented an owner of a PUD on Radio Road, with a
Page 8
November 7, 1989
commercial tract on it, who moved the commercial tract to a more
appropriate location, thus reducing the density, and the Board of
County Commissioners approved It. Assistant to the County Manager
Olltff noted that the entire development then became consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. He pointed out that minor ad3ustmenta could
be made to all Inconsistent zoning, making the zoning less intensive
in density, and with the result that the inconsistent zoning becomes
consistent wlth the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that if Policy 5.1
is not amended, the next amendment cycle will not become effective
until 9 or 11 months after January, and a full year has now been
allowed for every development that ts inconsistent to make a minor
adjustment and become consistent. He explained that the language of
the stipulated Settlement Agreement says that Development Orders
should not be Issued that are inconsistent, but St'ali would be forced
to ~ecause of the language in Policy 5.1.
M>'. Olltff stated that he had drafted language given to County
Attorney Cuyler for review as follows: "Policy 5.1: Any change
to a Development Order, whether residential, commercial or industrial
which is exempt from, or receives an exception to the zoning re-
evaluation program, or is determined to be vested, which constitutes a
reduction in, or equivalent density or intensity shall be deemed con-
sistent with the Future Land Use Element" He explained that this
revised language has been reviewed by Staff and County Attornek
Cuyler. He Indicated that he tried to draw up language which Staff ts
comfortable with, al/owing flexibility to make good ad3ustments to
developments that are found to be compatible or vested. Commissioner
Shanahan commented that Mr. Olltff would like the revised language of
Policy 5.1 used, rather than the language tn the remedial amendments.
Mr. Olliff explained that this language satisfies the comments made at
the CCPC by the public that addresses the Intent of good amendments to
plans tLat are vested or compatible.
Mr. 0!ltff explained that Section 5.9, dealing with expansions,
Page 9
November 7, 1989
can be addressed through the zoning re-evaluation definition, and
noted that Staff and the public had no problem deleting Section 5.9.
He noted that LU-I-34 is basically the same type of Issue as Section
5.9, but it is not a policy or goal within the Plan. He advised that
Staff would be forced to Issue Development Orders which Staff feels
are inconsistent. He stated that the COPC recommended Section 5.1 be
deleted, and Section 5.9 and LU-I-34 be retained.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Olltff replied that the
suggested language would require Mr. Duane's client to go through the
Zoning Re-evaluation Program.
Attorney Siesky commented that a request for a zoning density
reduction is a bilateral action that requires Board of County
Commissioners' approval, and the property owner does not have the
right to force a zoning reduction that would be consistent with the
Plan. In response to Commissioner Hasse, Attorney Slesky indicated
that ne had not seen the new language.
¢ometesioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Hesse and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, County Attorney Cuyler advised
that there is no problem with respect to the public hearing enter-
taining the amendments that were not part of the Settlement Agreement.
Commissioner Saunders suggested voting for all of the chances
except for the proposed change to Section 5.1 and LU-I-34.
Cometssioner H&sse moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan, and
carried unanimously, that Resolution 89-3¢2, approving the Remedial
growth Management Plan Amendments per the Stipulated Settlement
Agreement for transmittal to the Department of Community Affaire, be
adopted.
Commissioner Saunders expressed concern that Section 5.1 does not
honor the procedure the Board advised property owners would be
followed. He suggested that Section 5.1 be left in the Plan. In
response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Olliff did not know if there
Page 10
November 7, 1989
were any applications pending with respect to Section 5.1, but noted
that Staff will be forced to recommend that all applications are con-
sistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Saunders stated
that he will vote against any changes to Section 5.1 or LU-I-34. A
discussion followed about the new language in Section 5.1.
Commissioner Volpe commented that no commitment the Board of County
Commissioners made was violated, and the Stipulated Settlement
Agreement implements the County's Zoning Re-evaluation Program which
addresses the concerns of Mr. Duane and Attorney Anderson. He
explained that these properties will have to go through the Zoning Re-
evaluation Program before they come before the Board of County
Commissioners, and he views it as a process, not a violation of a com-
mltment. He pointed out that the issues were addressed before the
OCPC and there will be an opportunity to have the discussion again.
Commissioner Goodnight commented that the individual developments
can b~ addressed as they come up. Commissioner Shanahan questioned
the new language in Policy 5.17 Commissioner Volpe questioned what
the CCPC recommended, and Mr. Olliff stated that the CCPC recommended
deletion of the Policy. Commissioner Saunders commented that the CCPC
did not see the new language.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Litsinger pointed out that
the 60 day time frame expires on November 15, 1989 and Staff needs
time to prepare the amendments for transmittal to the DCA.
Commissioner Saunders indicated that 3 options are available in
reference to Section 5.1.: 1) delete it in its entirety, 2) adopt the
language submitted by Staff this morning, or 3) leave it as it is.
Co~issioner Haase moved, seconded by Co,missioner Volpe, that
Staff's proposal of this morning be adopted.
Ms. Cacchtone assured the Board of County Commissioners that the
Long Rapge Planning Staff has reviewed the new proposed language and
has no problem with it.
Upon call for the question, the motion failed 3/2. (Co~-tssioners
Page 11
Nove~l~er ?, 1989
Sawed.rs and Goodnlght oppoaad).
County Attorney Cuyler advised that as part of the emergency pro-
cedure, the motion must be approved by 5 votes.
Co~ssioner Shanahan Loved, seconded by Co~issioner Hesse, that
th~ language recommended by Staff ~n LU-I-34, be adopted.
Upon call for the question, the motion fa~led 3/2. {CO.~lsfonera
Sa=riders ~nd Goc~n~ght opposed).
A discussion followed regarding whether or not a unanimous vote is
required. County Attorney Cuyler noted that Staff can obtain comments
from DCA on these items and report back to the Board of County
Commissioners. Mr. Lltsinger commented that transmitting the proposed
deletion of Section §.l does not commit the Board to adopt the amend-
m~nt, and on April 1, 1990 after the adoption hearings, the Zoning
Ku-evaluation Ordinance will have been received. In ~esponse to
Commissioner Volpe, County Attorney Cuyler advised that he will
doubl~-check the voting requirements for transmitting the amendments.
Mr. Litsinger advised that he had one letter from George Varnadoe
of Young, Van Assenderf, Varnadoe and Benton, that is to be entered
~nto the record, which is on file in the Office of the Clerk of the
Board.

PETITION PU-89-11, DR. NENO J. SPAGNA, REPRESENTING LLOYD L. BOWEIN,
REQUESTING PROVISIONAL USE 'g" OF THE C-4 ZONING DISTRICT FOR A USED
CAR LOT TO BE LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BAYSHORE DRIVE AND
ARECA AVENUE - DENIED
Bob Lord, Project Planner, advised that Petition PU-89-11, filed
by Dr. Neno J. Spagna representing Lloyd L. Bowein, is a request for
provisional use "g" of the C-4 zoning district for a used car lot
located in Section 11, Township 50, Range 25 East. He noted that
their objective is to obtain approval of a provisionally permitted
use; a used car lot in the C-4 zoning district, at a site located on
the northeast corner of Bayshore Drive and Areca Avenue, approximate]%'
3/4 of a mile south of U.S. 41. He stated that the property consists
of Lots ! and 2 in Block "D" of the Sable Shores Subdivision
comprising an area of 0.47 acres of combined land. He in~icated that
the provisional use is consistent with the criteria listed in Section
13.1.d. of the Collier County Zoning Ordinance (82-2), and the CCPC
denied this Petition at their public hearing on October 5, 1989. He
reported that lO0 plus citizens signed a petition against the proposed
used car lot and this Petition has been reviewed relative to the
Collier County Growth Management Plan and no inconsistency had been
Identified. He explained that the Growth Management Plan provides for
a transitional period in which all existing zoning classifications
will be evaluated as to their vested or non-vested status. He
reported that during this period, the Plan permits development to con-
tinue consistent with the existing zoning until the evaluation takes
place and notice is given of the appropriate zoning changes. He
stated that admitted provisional uses in any given zoning category are
also interpreted as consistent with the Growth Management Plan,
however, Staff recommends that the Board of Zoning Appeals deny
Petition PU-89-11 based on the CCPC vote of 4/2 for denial.
Dr. Nsno Spagna, representing the Petitioner, Lloyd Bowetn,
indicated that there are two items he would like to clarify. He noted
that this site is located across the street from the marina south of
Page 13
November 7, 1989
the bridge on Bayshore Drive, south of U.S. 41, in a C-4 zoned
district at the present time, and the property owner also owns the
property immediately north and east of the subject property. He
explained that at the public hearing for the CCPC, most of the objec-
tions came from the low cost r~ntal housing units, approximately one
block south of the subject property. He reported that the biggest
objection was the used car lot deteriorating the atmosphere of the
surrounding area. He noted that the area contains mixed development,
and a few weeks ago, east of the subject property, the County issued a
group of red tags requesting the property owner to bring the property
up to the building construction code standards. He advised that the
area will not be deteriorated by a used car lot, and noted that the
intention of the property o~ner ts to go in with a permitted use which
~ould help revitalize the area. He stated that a used car lot is com-
patible with the area, meets all requirements of the Comprehensive
Plan, and the other uses permitted in the C-4 district Include an
automobile service station, cocktail lounges, commercial recreation
areas, marinas, new car dealerships, including sales of used cars,
nightclubs, restaurants, including drive-ins and fast food stores and
the Petitioner's request ts not out of line wlth the permitted uses.
He explained that the owner has owned the property for approximately 2
years and would like to do something more with it other tb;~n u~Ing it
as a rental unit, however, he does not want to get into the use~ such
as drive-ins or lounges, which would have a more adverse impact on the
area. He pointed out that if the owner has no other choice, he will
consider any use to recoup some of his investment In the property.
He stated that the used car lot will fit into the area, with sales of
20 cars not generating an excessive amount of traffic, certain con-
dttions brought up by people in opposition which have been adhered to,
all requirements set forth by Staff and the review agencies have been
complied with and the Petitioner feels that a used car lot would
uplift the area and set the stage for the improvement of currently
Page 14
November 7, 1989
surrounding properties.
Commissioner Hasse questioned tfa used car lot would be conducive
to the the upgrading of the area such as Bayshore Drive? He commented
that the Petitioner owns the property to the north, which he has some
questions about. Dr. Spagna stated that he did not know of any impro-
vements that have taken place in the neighborhood since the widening
of Bayshore Dri%'e, except for painting or minor fix-ups. He pointed
out that he would rather have a used car lot within his neighborhood
than a bar or lounge.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Dr. Spagna ~ndicated that the
property owned to the north by the Petitioner will have no connection
to the used car lot. Comm~ssioner Volpe questioned the stipulation
a~reeing to waive any rights he may have under the County's Re-
evaluation Program, and asked if the Petitioner was p-n,,ltted to
establish a used car lot in this district would he be allowed vested
rights7 Mr. Lord replied that once the property is developed, vesting
rights would take effect. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Dr.
Spagna advised that there would be no services at all. Dr. Spagna
reported that under the C-4 district, a filling station or n~'~ car
dealership selling used cars would be permitted. Commisslone~ Hasse
questioned 37 spaces for 20 cars7 Dr. Spagna advised that the parking
is required by the County's Zoning Ordinance. In response to
Commissioner Nasse, Mr. Lord reported that there are 30 parkln~ spots
for the sale of used cars and 7 spots for employee parking, total3lng
37. In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Commissioner Saunders
explained that Staff is required to follow the recommendation of the
CCPC, but Staff's original position was to approve the Petition.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Lloyd Boweln, the
Petitioner, stated that the property to the north has a two-story
building with apartments on the top and stores on the bottom. He
indicated ~hat he has resided in the area most of his life and has not
noticed ar:y particular upgrading of the area, other than the four-
Page 15
November 7, 1989
laning of Bayshore Drive. He explained that in addition to the
marina, which has four levels and chain link fences, there is a
plumbing supply and repair store, a bar, and a restaurant in the area.
He pointed out that minor repairs are allowed. He stated that the
used car lot will not be a Davis Boulevard used car lot type. He
noted that he will be spending $50,000 or better for landscaping,
improvements, Faring, etc. He advised that he was unaware of any
opposition to the Petition until he went to the CCPC meeting. He
indicated that a used car lot is totally compatible with what is in
the area, and will not have the impact that the marina does.
reported that he would like to make the property economically feasible
and noted that the owner of Cricket Lake seems to be the main opposi-
tion. He stated that, in his opinion, the majority of the signatures
on the petition are tenants of Cricket Lake, not property owners. He
pointed out that if the used car lot is not allowed, he may have to
sell the property and the uses al/owed would b~, in his opinion, less
desirable than a used car lot.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Bowein explained that he
did not see a big difference between using 20 spaces or usln~I SO spa-
ces for used cars.

Their reasons were: increase of crime in the area; a used car lot
will affect the upgrading of the Bayshore Drive area in a negative
way; a used car lot is unsightly; vandalism and theft in relation to
automobiles in the area will increase; Petitioner's other building in
the area not well maintained; crime will increase; traffic congestion;
loitering; will attract vagrants and undesirables to the area; safety
of children in area at school bus stops will be Jeopardized; property
values will be affected negatively; glare from lighting; and a used
car lot is incompatible with the area.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mrs. Griffith indicated that
renovations are going on at Areca Avenue to improve the area. In
response to Commissioner Hasse, Ms. Davidson noted that the area has
improved over the past ten years and is still being improved.
Mr. Bowein explained that the property he owns on the nc:th side
of the proposed location for the used car lot is being fixed up, but
will not be finished until the eviction process for his tenant is
completed. He stated that he did not see how a used car lot could
~ncrease crime in the area, and noted that a bar would have Just as
many cars parked there as a used car lot. He advised that he will
have lights and alarms to provide a safe and secure place. He ~ointed
out that he has a direct cut on to Bayshore Drive and Areca Road,
which can be maintained with a C-4 use, and because he will not be
using that cut, he does not see how traffic would be impacted by the
used car lot.
Com2%issloner Hasse commented that part of the message he is
recetvin~ is that Mr. Bowein is not a good neighbor and pointed out
the phutographs (not provided to the Clerk to the Board) depicting the
Page 17
November 7, 1989
condition of his property. Commissioner Hasse stated that he has dri-
ven by and noticed too many automobiles parked there, which indicates
the building is not properly maintained. Mr. Bowein explained that
some of the debris in the photographs has been removed. Commissioner
Volpe stated that these issues do not relate to the issue the Board of
County Commissioners is being asked to decide.
Commissioner Volpe commented that there is a certain stigma
attached to used car lots. Dr. Spagna indicated that the crux of this
issue is that the use has to be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood, and noted that provisional use allows a used car lot,
subject to whatever conditions the Board deems necessary to be com-
patible with the surrounding area. He explained that the Petitioner
is willing to ab]de by CCPC and Staff requirements. He ~tated that
his client would be the first in line to help improve the
neighborhood.
Cc~selon~r Huse ~oved, seconded by Co~miesioner Shan~han, that
Commiss~oner Volpe indicated that he ts not a proponent of used
car lots, but pointed out that the use is C-4, and the Peti%i~ner has
the right to use that property. He commented that something will
there, whether it is a used car lot or some other commercial use.
Commissioner Saunders concurred.

County Attorney Cuyler advised that the question has arisen as to
the interpretation of Staff. He stated that his understanding is that
the Ritz is inclined to appeal that decision. He indicated that Staff
Page
November 7, 1989
has come into contact with a situation that they do not handle on a
day-to-day basis, and they are suggesting that there may be additional
factors that need to be factored in under the two week temporary use
permit criteria, to allow the Commission to extend that under certain
circumstances.
Planning Services Manager Bagtnskt explained that the existing
ordinance provties for an applicant to apply for and receive a permit
for a tent structure for grand openings, carnivals, etc. He noted
that the ordinance states that a 2 week, non-renewal permit can be
provided. He suggested that amendments or modifications could be made
to the ordinance which would restrict the use of the tent to a two
week period, but under unique or unusual circumstances, through peti-
tion and approval by the Commission, It may be extended beyond that
two week period.
County Attorney Cuyler indicated that because Staff is facing an
unusual situation, he believes that they are willing to recommend
something along the lines to allow the Board to look at additional
criteria on a case-by-case basis to extend the two week period. He
explained that the Ritz-Carlton Is looking at the tnterpretak~n that
has been made by Staff, and noted that the two week period ts not spe-
cifically for any one time during 6 month~. He stated that the
interpretation has been made that a petitioner may acquire a te;nporary
use permit which is good for two weeks, and they are only allowed to
do this once every 6 months. He advised that he indicated to the
representatives of the Ritz that this ts merely an interpretation, and
ts sub3ect to appeal. He noted that under the terms of the Zoning
Ordinance there ts a stay of any proceedings until the Board of Zoning
Appeals considers that appeal by a petitioner. He stated that Staff
has Indicated that if they receive direction from the Commission to
have the ordinance amendments in front of the Board, those two
situations may cotncld~ and the entire situation can be addressed at
one time.

Commissioner Hasse questioned the length of time that the tent has
been up?
Mr. Joseph Freni, General Manager of the Ritz-Car/ton Hotel,
advised that in lgsg the tent was put up in early January, and was
taken down in June. He stated that that same condition existed in
lg87 and 1988.
Commissione- Volpe indicated that this is a unique situation, and
the ordinance may be flawed. He stated that he cannot visualize that
the type of tent that the Ritz has, is the type of tent that this
ordinance was intended to address. He noted that consideration
should be given to the definition of a tent.
Mr. Baginski informed that if the Ritz had chosen to put in a more
permanent structure, i.e., a chickee hut or similar use, they could
have put drop sides on it, floors, and electric, and there most likely
would not have teen anything said.
Mr. Freni stated that this is the second time that he is appearing
before the Commission, requesting a permanent solution to this
situation. He noted that he has been meeting with Staff since his
first visit, and discussions have taken place regarding the various
options that are available. He Indicated that he has f/own in the
architect that was involved in the design of the building. He
explained that he is prepared to appeal the ordinance if n~'essary,
but he would not want to have his business interrupted this season,
until a permanent so/ut/on is determined. He explained that the faci-
lity is inspected by the fire department prior to each event, all the
other normal inspection processes have taken place and continue to
take place, and there is more parking than is required.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned how much time Mr. Frenl needs so
that there is not a business interruption? Mr. Freni stated that he
sees June ~st as the latest date for use of the tent.
Commis~iuner Volpe questioned whether Mr. Freni is continuing to
book event~ during this hiatus? Mr. Freni replied that he has not
Page 20
November 7, 1989
been booking any events during this time.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated that he would like to see a solu-
tion worked out. He noted that this Is an unusual situation, and the
tent has been up in 1987, 1988, and 1989 for several months.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether Mr. Freni will be providing
the Commission with a long-term permanent solution? Mr. Freni advised
that he needs at least 30 days to do a market analysis, and he would
like to cost out a permanent structure. He noted that he can come
back to Staff with firm ideas within a 30-day period.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he believes that the Ritz needs to
h~ve a long term solution, but noted that in his mind, it is not a
t~nt.
The following persons spoke in favor of the tent at the
Ritz-Carlton:
Mr. Bob Moates
Ms. Jeanne Haynes
Mr. David Amico
Those persons in favor of the tent, c~ted: The Ritz is a good
neighbor, and this is an unusual situation; the facility has added a
new dimension to Naples; a number of events are held in the tent,
and there is a need for It; and the Ritz has been a positive influence
on the community.
Mr. George Keller, President, Collier County Civic Federation,
stated that the tent is in violation of the Building Code and Zoning.
He noted that there ts no question that the Ritz has been a good
neighbor, but questioned whether an exception can be made for them
which violates the County's ordinances? He suggested that the Code
Enforcement Board cite the Ritz, and bring the case to a hearing, and
if they cnntinue to be in violation, they will be subject to a
$2§O/day fine. He noted that the facility is not actually a tent, it
does not comply with the Building Code, and no permf', has ever been
issued.
County Manager Dorrill stated that he is not sure that there are
Page
November 7, 1989
any cited BuildinG and/or Safety Code violations as indicated by Mr.
Keller.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that he approached this situation
from a legal point of view, and not a planninG point of ~iew. He
indicated that if the Ritz chooses to appeal the interpretation, the
proceedings are stayed under the Zoning Ordinance.
Attorney Dudley Goodlette stated that County Attorney Cuyler
clarified the point that he wanted to raise. He indicated that the
Commission would not be setting a precedent by permitting the appeal
of the ordinance to go forward.
There were no other speakers.
Co~mteeloner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodntght,
to direct Staff to evaluate the ordinance for the purpose of g~ving
the ~d of C~ Co~ssioners some flexibility ~n dete~n~ng
whet~r tents of ~hls nacre should be ~r~tted for a longer
b~sed on ~e c~r~t~ces; ~d to ~rmit the use of the tent

Comm~sioner Saunders stated that he Is maklng ~he mot]~ with
~he recommenda~ion ~o Mr. Freni that the Ritz appeal the decision of
Staff ~n reference ~o the proposed v~olat~on. He noted that the tent
has been used for the past three years for 6 months at a time, and
there ~ not a s~ngle person on County Staff or the County
that was not aware ~hat the tent was being used for this per~od
t~me. ~e ~ndtcated that he believe5 tha~ ~t would be unfair, at th~s
time, to stop tha~ use when the hotel has planned bookings for the
com~n~ season.
Mr. Freni advised that until there is a long term solution, he
w~ll not Look any future events.
County Attorney Cuyler s~ated that as long as the appeal

Assistant to the County Manager MacKenzie presented three options
relative to a Tourist Development Tax.
Mr. MacKenzie advised that Option 1, was defeated by the Tourist
Development Council on June 27, 1989, by a vote of 5/4. He explained
that this option provided for a Special Taxing District to be created
for the purpose of levying a Tourist Development Tax which would
extend from the Lee/Collier line, south to SR 952. He noted that the
rate of the taxation would be 2%, generating approximately $1.36
million in revenues, and would sunset after six years from the time of
enactment to be reinstated by County-wide referendum only. He
~'eported that the proposed distribution of revenues were to be
approximately 50% to be used for Collier County Beach Nourishment Pro-
Ject within the Taxing District, for an approximate amount of $600,000
- $?00,000, depending on the actual revenues. He noted that the
remaining 50% would be used for tourist promotion - 25% to market
international tourism, and other off-season tourists; and 25% to deve-
lop a summer cultural festival under the auspices of the Center for
the Performing Arts.
Mr. MacKenzie stated that Option 2 ts the same as Option 1, with
the exception of the boundaries: Lee/Collier line to 2 miles east of
CR 951, south to and including Goodland on SR 92. He indicated that
this option would basically encompass most of the commercial area of
the County. He reported that the tax rate would be 2% for three years
then 3% for the remaining three years, with sunset after 6 years. He
explained that $2.7 million would be generated the first year, with
revenues distributed as follows: 50% for the maintenance of the
completed Beach Renourishment Projects currently being undertaken
separately by Marco Island and the County; 50% for promotional activi-
ties - 251~ 2or off-season travel and International tourism, and 25%
for the development of off-season cultural events.
Mr. MacKenzie noted that Option 3 is the same as Option 2, with
the exception of the boundaries which would be as follows: The entire
Page 23
November 7, 1989
County with the except/on of the Immokalee Fire Control District. He
stated that revenues to be generated at 2% would be approximately
$2.73 million and would be used for the following: 60% for the per-
mitring of Beach Nourishment Projects within the County as well as
providing for the maintenance of the Beach Nourishment Projects once
completed; and 35% for promotional activlt~es as outlined an Optlon 2
and 15% for the development of off-season cultural events.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the tax would be collected
locally or by the State Department of Revenue7 Mr. MacKenzie advised
that the tax will be collected locally.
Commissioner Shanahan asked Mr. MacKenzie what his personal
feelings are relating to recommendations and suggestions on this
issue? Mr. MacKenzie suggested that the Commission lay aside this
~ssue for a period of time being defined as one year prior to the
planned completion of the Beach Nourishment Project, or until some
other form of financing is discovered. He explained that his reasons
are threefold: 1) The revenues that are generated will not substi-
tute for beach nourishment. He advised that the most recent estimates
on the cost of the renourishment project is in the neighborhood of $18
mil/ion.
Commissioner Saunders advised that he is involved with a q~oup
that has a contract to purchase a facility that potentiall~, could
benefit from more tourism or beach renourishment, and noted that he
may have a conflict of interest.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that the tax itself would not cause
a conflict, but the fact that the tax funds would be used to the bene-
fit of the principal that Commissioner Saunders would by employed by,
may caus- a conflict.
Commissioner Saunders indicated that he will file a Conflict of
Interest Form, and abstain on this item.
Mr. MacKenzie continued with explanation regarding his
suggestions: 2) The use of bed tax revenue as compared to other tax
Page 24
November 7, 1989
alternatives are limited, as outlined by the law. 3) Confusion which
may result from placing a Tourist Tax on the same ballot with a
possible Sales Tax.
Commissioner Volpe informed that Collier County is the only
coastal community in the State of Florida that does not have a Bed
Tax/Tourist Development Tax. He noted that when reviewing the minutes
of the Tourist Development Council, he believes that there are com-
ments that everyone should be made aware of. He stated that if the
hotels/motels and tourists are not paying for some portion of beach
renourishment, it will be very difficult to tell the permanent resi-
dents that they should fund the renourishment project through ad
valorem taxes, as one alternative. He stated that he has heard the
concerns of the industry, and he is sensitive to them, but without
some type of a sunset, once this tax is in place for d period of time,
there could be m change in the use of those revenues. He indicated
that in some way, a mechanism should be found to continue to provide
revenue, particularly during the summer months. He noted that he is
not persuaded by the fact that placing the Tourist Development Tax on
the same ballot as a potential Sales Tax referendum will confu~e the
informed electorate. He reported that another concern of the
hotel/motel industry, is that these revenues will not be used for
other things, i.e. a baseball stadium. He stated that the:~. ha~ got
to be safeguards so that the tourist industry will be able to retain
input as to how these revenues will be expended in the future. He
suggested that one of three options be put to the vote of the
electorate.
Commissioner Hasse concurred with Commissioner Volpe, noting that
he does not see any reason why both issues cannot be placed on the
same ball=~ He Indicated that he favors Option 3.
The following persons spoke in opposition to a Tourist Development
Tax:
Mr. Stephen Wheeler Mr. Mary Needles
Mr. Mike Watkins Mr. Michael McComas
Ms. Dawn Norgren Mr. Robert Stakich
Ms. Rosemarie D'Haem Mr. Philip Francoeur, Sr.
Mr. Russ Atklsson
Page 25
November 7, 1989
The speakers in opposition to the Tourist Development Tax cited
the following: tourists are already paying their fair share; no dete~'-
mtnation has been made that the tax will produce a significant amount
for infrastructure needs; in lieu of revenues from the tax, many spon-
sors would be pleased to fund cultural events; other counties that
have a bed tax are not pleased with it; the tourist industry is
opposed to the tax; 70% of the tourists year round are from within the
State of Florida and they will be sub3ected to the tax; a service tax
is difficult to collect; Chambers of Commerce are the leaders of
tourism and they do not want the bed tax; the average voter will never
know how unfair this tax is to the Hotel/Motel Associ%tton; Sunset
Laws do not sunset, they are renewed; Marco will be taxed, and It is
unfair to tax an area that is already taxing itself~ a 1~ increase in
sales tax would benefit the community more than anything else;
The following persons spoke in favor of the Tourist Development
Tax:
Mr. George Keller
Mrs. Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Womr~n Voters of
Collier County
The following are reasons in favor of the tax which were ~tated:
Collier County has great needs, and the residents would like ~:he
tourists to pay for structures that are needed; if the t~x is added
with the sales tax and reported to the State, it will be easy to keep
everyone honest. Results of a telephone survey conducted by the
League of Women Voters of Collier County indicates that 93.77% of
those polled want well preserved and well maintained beaches; 83.77%
responded that tourists and seasonal visitors should pay a fair share
of the c~ts in maintaining beaches; 69.55% responded that a Tourist
or Bed Tax collected at hotels and seasonal rental units would be a
fair way to pay for renourishing beaches, and the Marco/Goodland resi-
dents that were polled responded by 69.~3% to the the same question;
~esponse by the Clty of Naples was 72.6~ agree; response from North
Page 26
November 7, 1989
Naples ts 78.4% agree; Golden Gate responded 72% in agreement; East
Naples responded 77% tn agreement.
There were no other speakers.
Commissioner Hesse moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe to accept
Option 3, with stipulations relating to how the money is spent;
proposed tax to be placed on the ballot of the next County-wide elec-
tion; Staff to sresent other methods by which the tax may be
utilized.
Cmtssioner Volpe amended the motion to include a ~uneet provi-
sion of three ~ars, and that the use of the revenues be used s~eclft-
cally for the ~atntenance of the Beach Nourishment Projects,
promotional activities, ~d the d~elopment of off-season ~ltural
~nts ~ored ~der the auspices of the Naples/Marco Phtlha~onlc.
Co~tsstoner H~se accepted the ~en~ent.
Commissioner Shanahan stated that he will be voting against ~he
motion. He noted that after hearing the testimony provided by
MacKenzie as to why the Tourist Development Tax should be laid aside,
he is convinced that there should be a better definition of a bed tax
before the County Jumps into the situation.
Commissioner Goodntght Indicated that Immokalee will be ex~mpt
from this tax, but Port of the Islands and Everglades w~ll be
effected. She e~latned that Port of the Islands ts not selltr:g
tourist o~ed Co/lieF County beaches, and Everglades ts not selling
tourism on the Everglades beaches, adding that she does not see hc>w
the Tourist Development Tax will benefit District 5, and therefore,
she will be voting against the motion.
U~ call for the ~estion, the vote was 2/2 {Co~tssioner

REPORT FROM THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION HEARING CONCERNING THE PELIC~3Z
BAY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - CONTINUED FOR ONE WEEK
Commissioner Volpe filed Form 8B and abstained from voting due to
a conflict of interest.
County Manager Dorrtll advised that a report of the findings (On
file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board as Exhibit "A") regarding
the results of the continued legislative hearing this past Tuesday
afternoon will be provided by Ron McLemore, Assistant County Manager.
He explained that two Commissioners participated in the delegation
meeting this past Tuesday afternoon, and he had personally invited
Senator Dudley to participate today if he felt a desire to do so. He
noted that Senator Dudley ~s out of town on personal bus~ness, but
re~-rved the right to come back and appear at an appropriate time. He
no~ed that there are a number of people from the Pelican Bay Governing
~oard present who will speak.
Mr. McLemore reported that on November 5, 1974, Chapter f4-462
Laws of Florida became a special law creating and governing the
Pelican Bay Improvement District (PBID). He explained that th~ law
provided for the water management, water and sewer facili~!es ;ind ser-
vices in the District. He noted that subsequent amendments to the
legislation provided for the expansion of powers to provide addit~onal
services related to the financing of recreational, road, school and
mosquito control services and facilities. He advised that currently
PBID provides water, sewer, irrigation water, right-of-way main-
tenance, water management and street lighting services. He stated
that in oz.~er to preserve the economic advantages afforded by r~aso-
nable waFtewater services, the Board of County Commissioners required,
as indicated by the stated legislative intent of the enabling legisla-
tion for PBID, that the water and sewer district be merged with the
general purpose government at the option of the County Commission at
Page 28
November 7, 1989
such time as the water and sewer infrastructure was established,
viable and functional, the guarantee of the sponsor had expired and
the interest of the bondholders had been met. He reported that on
February 17, 1989 the Board of County Commissioners authorized the
engineering firm of Hole, Montes & Associates to proceed with the
development of a study to determine the feasibility of the County suc-
ceeding to the rights, duties, functions and obligations of PBID as
provided tn Chapter 74-462 Laws of Florida.
He stated that on August 15, 1989 representatives of Hole, Montes
& Associates presented the findings of its report concluding that the
action of the Board to invoke its succession rights related to the
operation and maintenance of PBID's water, sewer and irrigation water
system appeared to offer substantial long term benefits to the pro-
perty owner of PBID and the citizens of Collier County, and suggested
that the Board of County Commissioners continue to explore the poten-
tial succession.
He advised that on October 18, 1989 representatives of the County
appeared before the Board of Supervisors of PBID and requestod that
the Board cooperate with the County tn its study of possible suc-
cession by the County. He explained that on October 24, 1989 the
Collier Legislative Delegation held a public hearing for the pu:'pose
of considering legislative amendments by PBID to eliminate the suc-
cession powers of the Board of County Commissioners from law. He
noted that at the hearing, State Senator Fred Dudley offered a substi-
tute proposal which would require the County to comply with Sections 4
and § of Florida Statutes 190.046 tn the execution of its succession
powers to PBID. He reported that on October 31, 1989, the Board of
County Co~!,sioners Issued Resolution 89-341 concluding that the
legisla~tvl~ proposals offered by Pelican Bay and Senator Dudley were
not in the best interest of the citizens of Collier County. He
explained that on November 3, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners
received a letter from Senator Dudley critical of the Board's opposi-
Page 29
November 7, 1989
tion to and advising the Board of his intent to file the proposed
legislation. He stated that on November 3, 1989 representatives of
the County Staff and Hole, Montes & Associates traveled to the head-
quarters of PBID to examine the public records of the district to
complete its assessment of the feasibility of the County succeeding to
the rights, duties, function, and obligation of PBID as provided in
Chapter 74-462.
Re stated that upon completion of their analysis, the study team
presented its findings to the County Manager's Office, finding that
si~nificant opportunities exist to enhance the efficiency, reliabi-
lity, and cost effectiveness of the services provided by PBID, as a
result of the County's succession to the rights, duties, functions and
obligations of PBID as provided in Chapter 74-462.
He reported that the studies provided by the team are attached to
th~ document and available for the public record. He stated that
St~lff's conclusion in reviewing all studies from Staff and Role,
Montes & Associates are as follows: 1) The amendments proposed to
Chapter 74-462 Laws of Florida as proposed to the Board of Supervisors
of the Pelican Bay Improvement District seek to undo the prc~,'¢tive
measures which were created through the wisdom of prior Boardr~ of
County Commissioners to prevent actions on the part of PBID that would
serve the special interest of PBID at the expense of the ~ntelest of
the community as a whole and serve to erode the concept of general
purpose government rendered under Home Rule Law, 2) Actions on the
part of PBID to issue additional utility bonds for the purpose of
making improvements to PBID's water and sewer and irrigation water
systems would serve to perpetuate the inefficiencies of the PBID
system and do irreparable violence and harm to the economic advantages
of regic,:~l water and sewer services that occur to the benefit of all
the customers of the regional system, 3) the County can provide water
management, right-of-way maintenance and street lighting services to
the property owners of the district of equal quality as, if not more
Page 30
November 7, 1989
efficiently, and as if not more cost effectively than that now pro-
vided by PBID, 4) The County can provide water, sewer and Irrigation
water services of better quality, more efficiently, and more cost
effective than water, sewer, and irrigation water services now pro-
vided by PBID, 5) The County can provide for future expansion, future
improvements, and future operations and maintenance of the water,
sewer, and irrigation water services of better quality, more effi-
ciently, and more cost effectively than that which can be provided by
PBID, 6) Actions on the part of the PBID Board of Supervisors to pro-
mote special interest of the district at the expense of the general
public, to erode the concept of general purpose home rule government,
and to limit the economies and efficiencies afforded to the customers
of PBID through regional water, sewer, and irrigation water systems
creates a condition in which the Board of County ~ommlssioners has
avail&hie to no choice but to exercise its rights to succeed to the
rights, duties, functions and obligations of PBID as provided in
Chapter 74-462 Law of Florida.
He noted that in conslderat~on of facts contained herein, Staff
re=ommends the following: The Board of County Commissioners ~hould
instruct the Staff to prepare in conjunction with legal counsel, a
proposed resolution necessary to succeed to the powers, rights,
duties, functions, and obligations of PBID as provided in ChaDter
74-462 Laws of Florida, and the Resolution should provide the
following: all contracts of the district for supplies, services, and
other things of value shall remain in force until such time that the
Board of County Commissioners shall determine otherwise appropriate;
all PBiD employees shall remain in the employ of the district until
such time as the Board of County Commissioners shall determine other-
wise app~opriate; all fees, charges, assessments, taxes and other
rates of revenue shall remain unchanged until the Board of County
Commissioners shall otherwise determine appropriate: any and all acti-
vities related to the issuance of long term obligation note~ and bonds
Page
November 7, 1989
are suspended until such time as the Board of County Commissioners
shall otherwise determine appropriate. He explained that there are
several back-up documents attached to the report from which the fin-
dings, conclusions, and recommendations were determined and Staff
stands ready to answer any questions.
Attorney Joseph McMackin III, representing the Pelican Bay
Improvement District advised that the district is shocked at Staff's
report. He noted that they expected that the County Staff would sit
dowT~ with a committee appointed by the district to discuss a proposal
for the County to provide sewer services to the PBID. He indicated
that no such meeting has occurred and on Friday, 6 representatives
from the County came to the district office, went through the
District's files, accumulated a stack of paper approximately 36 inches
high, requested copies be made and delivered to the C'3unty Staff. He
explained that the basic element of this issue is whether the County
can provide sewer services to the residents of Pelican Bay as effi-
c]ently and economically and of equal or better quality than what is
now being provided by the District. He emphasized that Staff has not
asked for a decision, and is holding a ~un to the PBID and as"ing the
Board of County Commissioners to pull the trigger. He pointed out
that the District feels Staff wants to take over Pelican Bay,
regardless of the benefits to the citizens. He advised tt.at during
the legislative delegation process the District has tried to compro-
mise with County Staff and no compromise is possible. He explai!~ed
that Senator Dudley's letter expresses dismay at his treatment by
County Staff, and PBID feels that they have been treated shabbily as
well. He reported that PBID would like the Board of County
Comm~ss~cners to allow the Dlstrlct Commission and Staff to sit down
and discuss the matter, and come to a recommendation on the merits of
the issue.
Commissioner Saunders concurred that someone is holding a gun to
someone's head, but he disagrees with Attorney McMackin as ~o who is
Page 32
November 7, 1989
holding the ~un. He noted that he was presented with the specter of
special legislation being presented next week in Tallahassee, eliml-
nating any authority that Collier County would have in reference to
the district, making a change in the special legislation setting up
the district, and in addition to the change concerning the Board's
authority, giving additional authority to the PBID. Attorney McMacktn
replied that the District is asking for equal footing to negotiate the
Issue and come to a conclusion. He asked that the Board of County
Commissioners not accept Staff's proposal and allow the negotiation
process to proceed.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned why Staff was advised that there
were no records relevant to the bond issue or borrowing in the near
future, although they left with a stack of papers 3S inches high? Mr.
Jim Ward, Assistant Manager, PBID, indicated that Staff had requested
ail files relative to internal correspondence with any bond counsel or
bond underwriters relating to any future issues, and there are no
ror:?espondence files that relate specifically to that issue. In
response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Ward reported that it took him 7
hours to pull the information from the documents, i.e. personne] of
staff going back to 1984, all current bond documents for current bond
issues, all minutes of the Board of Supervisors since 1974, all of the
agenda letters of the Board of Supervisors since 1985, copy of every
agreement the District has outstandinG with developers banks, etc.
evidencing indebtedness within the District, copies of current water
management, water and street lighting budgets and all backup materials
etc. Commissioner Shanahan questioned what the plans of the Di6trict
are in relation to providing documents relating to the bond issue
and/or additional borrowing or financing7 Mr. Ward responded that
County Staff has been provided a current Phase III facilities expan-
sion repor~ outlining the proposed wastewater treatment plant expan-
sion and some ancillary expansion programs, and a current rate
analysis which shows what the rates will be over a period of time
Page 33
November 7, 1989
relating to that specific bond issue. In response to Commissioner
Shanahan, Mr. Ward indicated that there is specific bond information
relative to the financing plan for expansion. County Attorney Cuyler
stated for the record exactly what was requested by Staff: all
records relevant to any anticipated bond issue or borrowing in the
near future, ipcluding any correspondence, memos or other information
concerning the process of issuing, insuring or guaranteeing such bonds
or proposed indebtedness. Attorney Cuyler noted that it is his
understanding that Staff came away with nothing regarding that
paragraph, which indicates to him that there is nothing. Attorney
Cuyler stated for the record that the paragraph he read was one of
approximately ~6 requests for public records.
Mr. Russ Mudge, a resident of Pelican Bay, advised that he is
currently a member of the Board of Supervisors of the PBID and serves
as its treasurer, and a member of the Board of Directors of the
Pelican Bay Property Owners Association. He noted that he is here to
try and convince the Board of County Commissioners that the property
owners of Pelican Bay should be the ones to decide who can best serve
their needs. He explained that the Pelican Bay Improvement D~strict
was established in 1974 to protect the property owners of Pellcan Bay
and the County in the event of failure of the development. He
reported that was the intention of the drafters of the legislatlon is
to not turn over the successful development to the County, resulting
in a higher cost of services to Pelican Bay and a substantial ii,crease
in facilities cost to the Collier County taxpayers.
Commissioner Shanahan commented that the County felt it was not in
the best interest of the public to move ahead and change the enabling
legislat~on. Mr. Mudge questioned why it is not in the best interest
of the public? Commissioner Shanahan pointed out that the County
feels that it can provide better quality service at equal, better or
more competitive rates. In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr.
Mudge explained that there are 5 Board of Supervisors elected by the
Page 34
November 7, 1989
people at a nominal salary of $100 per month, and advised that the
Board of Supervisors, Mr. Ward and his employees total 14. Mr. Mudge
explained that there is a District Manager under a monthly contractual
arrangement at an annual salary of $26,000 part time. In response to
Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Mudge indicated that the District Manager
is Gary Moyer, a former Westinghouse employee.
Tape #4
Mr. Jim Dunwtddte, a resident of Pelican Bay, and a member of the
PBID Board of Supervisors stated that he ts serving on the Board to
protect and enhance the residents of Pelican Bay. He advised that he
ts a retired engineer, and tn his opinion the report done by Hole,
Montes & Associates is biased in favor of a takeover, and Inaccurate
tn Its engineering conclusions. He emphasized that this report should
not be the basis for any decision by the Board of County Commissioners.
~e stated that Wilson, Miller, Barton, Sol/ & Peek, Inc. prepared a
~tudy for PBID making a comparison and they arrived at figures of 12
million vs. 18 or 22 million as far as County expenditures are con-
cerned.
Commissioner Saunders commented that the PBID is pursulnj the
change in special legislation which says that the takeover by the
County for the PBID facilities should be based on: 1) can Collier
County provide service of equal or better quality, and 2) can ,~ullter
County provide the service at equal or better cost, be taken InTo con-
sideration, and 3) the voting of the PBID Board. He advised that he
ts prepared to vote to tell Staff to proceed to take over the facili-
ties, because the PBID has placed the Board of County Commissioners in
a position of eliminating the Board's authority, and he ts prepared to
act on tha~ authority before PBID has that opportunity. He stated
that he is also prepared to have Staff meet with PBID's staff to
deter~ltne over the next few months, whether the County
can p:~ovide the service at equal or better quality and cost, if the
PBID will ask Senator Dudley to take the gun away from the County's
Page 35
November 7, 1989
head.
Mr. Mudge stated that neither he nor Jim Dunw~ddie, can make that
commitment, that should be left to the Board of Supervisors.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if either Mr. Mudge or Mr. Dunwtdd~e
would advise what they would recommend to the PBID's Board of
Supervisors? Mr. Dunwiddfe advised that a board meeting is scheduled
one week from tomorrow and questioned if the Board of County
Commissioners would wait until then? Commissioner Saunders replied
that that will not work because the special session is scheduled for
that day. He suggested that an emergency meeting of the PBID be
called and explained that he is concerned that the special legislat~on
proposed ellminates the authority of the Board of County Commissioners
to takeover the facilities of the PBID. He advised th&c the only way
he will vote not to take over the facil~ties is if PBID's Staff and
Cc,~nty Staff meet to determine whether the County can provide better
and more cost efficient service, and the PBID directs Senator Dudley
not to submit the special legislation. In response to Mr. Dunwiddie,
Commissioner Saunders advised that the issue is who can prou!de better
and cheaper service over a period of time, not simply what th~ rate
will be on the day of takeover. Mr. McLemore requested that assurance
from the PBID Board would agree that it would not proceed to issue
addit~onal bonds relative to improvements of the PBID system durtng
this period. Mr. Dunwiddte stated that there has been no official
action by the PBID to do anything about coming out with a new bo~d
issue. A discussion followed about the special legislative meeting.
Commissioner Shanahan questioned the posit~on of the PBID if the
County were able to prove quality of service, efficiency and equal or
better cos'~? Mr. Mudge stated that there would be no question, but to
go with the County.
Co:~issioner Saunders suggested that a special meeting be called
by the PBID for the sole purpose of asking Senator Dudley and Mary
Ellen Hawkins not to submit any special leg~slation next week at the
Page 36
November 7, 1989
transportation session and during the next several weeks; no bonds
be issued; the PBID shall not take any action making it impossible for
the County to take over the system; and County Staff and PBID meet to
review the consultants report to see who can ~n the long run provide
the most cost effective high quality service.
Commissioner Shanahan indicated that in the afternoon session last
week, Mary Ellen Hawkins' position was that she would not take any
action relative to the legislation, until she had a chance to review
Senator Dudley's position. Commissioner Saunders indicated that the
Board of County Commissioners would want a letter from the PBID to
both representatives requesting that there not be any special legisla-
tlon submitted ~n reference to this issue because of an effort by the
Collier County Staff to meet with PBID staff.
Commissioner Saunders advised that in fairness to Senator Dudley,
bls secretary called Senator Dudley's office when the issue first came
u9 to explain that the Board of County Commiss~oners meeting would be
rather short and not go until the afternoon, and whatever time he
could get here, h~s schedule would be accommodated. He notud that the
message was given, the call was not returned. He explained that no
one is trying to exclude or criticize Senator Dudley in reference to
handling this.
· ''''Recess: 2:10 P.M. Reconvened: 2:30 P.M.
County Manager Dorrlll reported that during the recess he met
with PBID's staff and they have agreed to advertise and meet in a spe-
cial session on Friday and, on the recommendation of their chairman,
will require that the Board request Senator Dudley to withdraw any
considerat~on of this bill during the upcoming special legislative
session. He noted that Staff acknowledges that they cannot bind them-
selves' to ~his today for failure to meet in emergency session on
Friday. He advised that they have agreed not to incur or proceed to
incur any debt between now and March 1, 1990, and in the interim would
continue to develop analysis of cost and other items contained in last
Page 37
Novemb~? 7, 1989
week's resolution for both boards relating to this Issue. He
requested that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the County
and he to proceed and develop necessary legal instruments to proceed
for failure on their part to develop the assurances they have offered
today.
Attorney McMacktn advised that he had spoken with the Prestdgnt of
the Board of Supervisors, and he Intends to call a special meeting for
4:00 P.M. Friday, November 10, 1989 and will recommend the following:
in exchange for the County agreeing not to take over the District in a
hostile, adverse manner, the Board of Supervisors direct a letter to
Senator Dudley requestinG him to withdraw the bill from November call
tn the Senate, not Issue any bonds financing expansion prior to March
1, 1990 and finally reiterate their continuing Intent tu negotiate tn
gond faith with Collier County to come to a businesslike answer to the
issue. In response to Commissioner Sounders, Attorney
McM'acktn reported that Mary Ellen Hawkins will also be Informed.
Commissioner Sounders suggested that this item be continued until
next Tuesday in the unlikely event the Board of Supervisors d,es not
agree with recommendation of Its counsel and the President. He
explained that if the Board of Supervisors agrees with the proposed
solution, the Item will be taken off the County Commission agenda on
Tuesday. He suggested that County Manager Dorrtll or someone from
Staff attend the meeting, showing the spirit of cooperation with PBID.
Co~mtssioner Sounders moved, seconded by Coaissloner Hasse that
this matter be continued to next Tuesday.
Commissioner Shanahan pointed out that the spirit of cooperation
is ess~n':!~,l to this issue.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried 4/0. (Coatssioner

Item ~B1
ADVERTISEMENT AND RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS FOR CONSULTING SERVICES TO
PERFORM HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALLY DEFICIENT
ROADNAYS WITHIN COLLIER COUNTY CONSISTENT WITH THE COUNTY'S GROWTH
,MANAOEMEI~ PLAN - APPROVED
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald advised that this
Item recommends approval for Staff to proceed with obtaining proposals
from local consultants to study traffic levels of service on certain
roadways. He explained that consistent with the concurrency manage-
ment system of the Gr.~wth Management Plan, Staff will determine ser-
vice levels on major roadway networks on an annual basis by looking at
the peak hour, peak season volumes. He indicated that the present
studies will continue, but tn the future there may be a need for more
~peciftc studies to be done. He explained that detailed studies will
be conducted of the time to travel certain segments of road to deter-
mine whether or not the delays tn travel time indicate, in a very spe-
cific manner, whether the level of service on the roadway is different
than the level of service Indicated by volume alone. He reported that
Staff ts seeking approval to proceed with the proposal process,
recognizing it will take some time to get a consultant firm on board.
He advised that it is anticipated there will only be a few road
segments to be studied, and the cost of those studies may be borne by
the Transportation Fund, Community Development Fund or development
commitments.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the expenditure of $50,000 and
whether or not the MPO, rather than outside consultants, could deter-
mine the service levels? Mr. Archibald indicated that Staff studies
will b~ .~;ntinued, and at the end of the year an annual report will
show the volumes on major roadway networks. He reported that from
that volume data, road service levels for comparison to concurrency
and the Growth Management Plan can be determined. He explained that
'in addition to those volume studies, there may be a necessity for a
very detailed corridor analysis, which involves intersection capacity,
detailed turning movement and the time to travel studies on corridors
Page 39
November ?, 1989
determining if the information provided by a volume service level is
different than the information from other factors. In response to
Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald explained that the first level of
review made by the County and the State is based on one factor only,
the volume of traffic on the roadway. He advised that if the ;oa~
corridor ts above or below standard, there ts a requirement for more
detailed study consistent with the Highway Capacity Manual and a con-
sultant is needed to be on board and available to undertake that
study, although the cost of the study may not be borne by the County.
In response to Comm~ssioner Vo]pe, Mr. Archibald indicated that
the $50,000 figure is the highest figure that he could come up with
over a 12 month period, and the Intent ts to assure that if those
detailed analyses are necessary or driven by some sort of land deve-
icpment activity, the study would be undertaken through the County's
c~nsultant, but the cost would be borne by a third party. He noted as
an example that S.R. 951 between U.S. 41 and the Marco Island bridge
has 3 major contracts, 2 of which are funded in the State's f've year
plan, but the southern segment of that project is not funded.
Mr. Archibald explained that the southern segment of S.R. 951 from
Mainsail Drive, south to the bridge, contains very little delay to
traffic on that roadway due to the fact that there ts only one inter-
section, and the capacity of that segment of roadway may be different
than the capacity designated by studying generalized traffic volume.
He reported that the level of service by the volume method may be
level of service "e", while the level of service based upon actual
travel time add delay factors and intersection capacity factors may be
higher, ~n,i that is the need for the study. He explained that in that
situation. ~taff would like to have a contract available to be used in
case it is needed.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Archibald indicated that
the study will include studies on either State or County roads, and
wou]~ give more specific information faster. In response to
Page 40
November 7, 1989
Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Archibald indicated that the Highway' Capacity
Manual sets forth the procedures to be used and the first procedure to
be used is the generalized volume tables that have been established at
the State level from the Highway Capacity Manual.
C~isstoner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and
carried unani~ousl¥, that Staff be authorized to advertise and
re~eiv~ proposals for consulting eerwices to perform Highway Capacity

It response to Commissioner Volpe, Assistant Utilities
Administrator Fred Bloetscher advised that Hole, Montes & Associates
hl~s the contract to design Immokalee Road from U.S. 41 to C.R. 951.
He stated that the contract for the water portion of the project of
Immokalee Road was signed tn 1986, prior to the time the Water Master
Plan was completed, and because the time for the design of the highway
project to be finalized is approaching, the design of utility improve-
ments should be done now. In response to Commissioner Volpe,
Commissioner Goodnight explained that the contract from 1-75 to C.R.
951 was extended; the contract In 1986 was for U.S. 41 to 1-75 and
that has been expanded from 1-75 to C.R. 951. Commissioner Volpe
suggested that the expansion should have been done at the same time.
Mr. Bloetccher concurred.
Mr. Bioetscher indicated that the recommendation is to declare an
emergency based on the timing for this project, and waive the formal
bid pmocess allowing Staff to enter into negotiations with Hole,
Montes & Associates to incorporate the water and sewer design. County
Attorney Cuyler advised that tt ts a waiver of the consultant selec-
tion process.

the water projects, creating a time problem. He explained that Staff
has discussed bringinG a summary to the Board of County Commissioners
in Generic form saying that the road contracts are out there, and he
noted that Staff would like to tag on to the water projects and have

MATCHING ~JTt~TT FROM THE STATE
Commissioner Goodntght reported that she had been In Tallahassee
regarding the health care program and needed direction from the Board
of County Commissioners. She passed out a copy regarding changes
that will be discussed at a future meeting. She advised that the
Co¥~nty ,:ould like to eliminate primary health care from indigent
Page 44
November 7, 1989
healthcare. She explained that the majority of the people tha'u Social
Services have been assisting have not been part of the primary care,
but rather emergency care. She explained that primary health care in
the health care program has been eliminated, but she has been
that Governor Martinez is not going to sign the bill unless the
mary care is attached to it. She advised that there is talk that a
health care bill passed several years ago will be reduced from 10
million dollars to 6 million dollars, and counties not involved as of
January 1, 1990, will not be included. She noted that the bill passed
several years ago requires that all counties be included after October
1, 1989. She reported that during the budget process, $77,000 was
allocated for Collier County's 30% match of the money, but it has been
reported that Collier County will not get any money at all even though
the State law is not being changed. She questioned if the Board feels
that Staff should be instructed to obtain Collier County's portion of
the money if the Governor signs the $6,000,000 bill7 Commissioner
Saunders advised that Commissioner Goodnight should work w]th Staff
and develop a report to resolve the issue of primary care not be]ng
attached to indigent health care. In response to Commissioner
Saunders, Commissioner Goodnight explained that there are two parts to
this bill; 1) out of county indigent care requires the County put
$4.00 per capita in a special fund, but she advised that the County
put $125,000 into the fund with the understanding that Collier County
would go to the $4.00 per capita; and 2) for in county indigent health
care, there would be a 65/35 split, with the County matching the
and the ~tate matching the 65%. She reported that the Governor vetoed
that b:13 and the State has worked out a compromise reducing the bill
to $6,000,000, but she advised that HRS says that only those who were
participating in the program on the first of January, 1989 will be
able to obtain part of the $~.nOO,O00. She indicated that Collier
County did not participate in January, but the money was budgeted in
October, and Collier County will not get its money because the State
Page 45
Novem:-.:r 7, 1989
says It will not follow through. She advised that she would like
direction from the Board instructing Staff, If the Governor signs this
bill, to recoup Collier County's 6§~. Commissioner Shanahan and
Commissioner Saunders concurred.
Commissioner Ooodntght moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and
carried unanimously, that Staff be instructed to recoup the 6~
~atchtng grant from the State.
Commissioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and
carried unanimously, that Commissioner Goodntght continue to work on
separating primary care from indigent health care.
