Seven agencies requested funding and after reviewing the applications, these agencies were approved for funding. She noted that in the Book of Changes in the Ceneral Fund, the seven agencies are listed with the amount of funding that is being recO8Dended . Ms. Ganeel noted that the first agency is Tri-County Senior services which is being recommended for $30,500 which will be used to generate 5211,000 in Federal Money as a match to be used in Collier County. She indicated that the next agency is Hospice with a recom- mended amount of $12,000 which is a $1,000 increase over last year's funding; $3,000 for the County Forester which is the same as prior years; $46,800 for Collier Soil & Water District which is an increase of 56,800 over last year's funding, noting that $5,000 is a shared cosl for a Soil Scientist; $1,000 for liability insurance; and $800 salary and benefit increase for a secretarial position; and $30,000 is being recommended for Project Help which is the same funding as last year. She noted that two new agencies requested funding and it is being recommended, noting that the first is $11,800 for the Immokalee Friendship House which will be used as a match for additional State Page 2 - - - -..---.--...---.............. ..--....-..-.....-,...-.... ......-.----- .

She noted thðt the IlIIØIOkalce Friendship House will be offering temporary shelter and support services for men, women and famil ies in Immo! ":!e who have no shelter. She stðted thðt the County funding for the ~ .Ielter for - --..- Abused Women will be used to establish and help operðte such a -. shelter. She noted that $5,000 hðs been reserved in the Public Services Ad.inistrðtor's budget which could be used for discretionary funds. Sister Marie McFaddon, President of Immokalee Friendship House Board of Directors, stated that they petitioned the Boðrd for $27,800 and they were told that $11,800 was what they would receive. She stated that they are striving to raise the funding to operate. She noted that money has been received from the State to renovate the buildings. She stated that the money that is being requested is for operational costs to provide salaries for two people, fringe benefits, and insurance. She stated thðt she realizes that the Board has many needs, but she is requesting at least $20,000 for this year as there is a need to provide services for the community that will be sheltered. She noted thðt homelessness is seen in Immokalee each day and there is a definite need for this progrðm and she would ask for additional money for this project. Commissioner Pistor stated that maybe the Immokalee Friendship House project should be looked into further as this is one of the ways that the homeless problem will be helped as they will be serving 980 lOOK 1171'AGE114 Page 3 10ft 117 nc£ 115 August 24, 1988 people with overnight shelters. He stated that if the homeless are taken care of the possibility of crime problems in the area are also reduced. Commissioner Hasse indicated that the funding should remain as it now is in the budget, to which Commissioners Class and Saunders con- curred. .....comaissioner Gooðnight arrived at this time..... ßudget Analyst Canse1 stated that the second part of the policy deals with agencies that have statutory guidelines for County funding and the policy states that these guidelines are to be considered current service and any additional funding would be considered expanded services. She stated that the first agency under this funding is on Page B-26 which is the Medical Examiner and shows a reQuest of $327,900, that is a 5\ decrease over last year's budget. She stated that the Emergency Services Administrator is requesting that this budget be increased by $800 over what is listed in order to allow for a 7-1/2\ salary increase for the Medical Examiner and a 6.5~ increase for pay-for-performance for the secretary and the Associate Medical Examiner. She stated that there is $1,500 for travel for the Associate Medical Examiner. She indicated that the only change in this budget is the request for $800 which is in conformance with the pay study. Commissioner Saunders stated that the consensus is to increase this budget by $800. Page 4 - - - , . .._----'""_._'"""~..- ._~-----_..,." .. -----'__'__b..._"""~",--"~-"","_._"",, August 24, 1988 Budget Analyst Cansel stated that the next agency is the Public Health Department found on Page 8-32, noting that the budget allows for the same amount of funding that was contributed to the Health Depart.enl last year, which was 5830,500. She noted <'It the expanded service is the operating cost that is associated with the relocatTõh--- '-. " of the Environmental Health Department and is paid directly by the County. Dr. Polkowski, Director of the Collier County Public Health Unit, stated that she is requesting an additional general revenue amount of $43,500 that would be available for services, adding that this money would be used in environmental health and chronic disease health risk reduction, adding that when the original request was made, it was before the Legislature passed certain legislation. She stated that the State has increased money for primary care and AIDS, but it has reduced the funding by 5141,000 for environmental health programs and chronic disease health risk reductions. She stated that the impact in environmental health that she is concerned about is in migrant camp inspections, because there will be a decrease in the amount of inspec- tions which will cause deteriorating conditions in the housing and env i ronmen t. She noted that the other programs that are being affected and eliminated are the arbovirus surveillance program outside the Mosquito Control District as well as the ability to investigate pesticide poison reports. She noted that she is concerned about the types of services that will be reduced and she is requesting the addi- aOOK 1171'.\1;[ 116 Page 5 .._----_..._-~- "".'.".---'-"'-""'-""""""'---' '."'- ......~....... .- ......."""""- . '~q., <",.....,,-.- -, , aGO( 117~117 August 24, 1988 tional dollars to provide the services to help in some of these areas. She indicated that the other parts that affect the budget are in the 8reas of revenues, adding that they h8ve not been able to obtain as much revenues from fees and Medicaid as anticipated. She indicated that another impact will be through House Bill 785 which was passed this year by the Legislature and will become effective October 1, 1988, adding that it is being reviewed at this time. She noted thal there may be a decr~ase from 510,000 to over 580,000 in fees over the next year for restaurant inspections, which is another priority area in this County. She noted that her request is for a portion of the losses in some of the most critical areas like environmental concerns.. Commissioner Pistor stated that this is $43,500 is to provide ser- vices to the public in addition to the expanded services (or service delivery. Commissioner Glass stated that migrant camps can impact severely on this community, adding that wif;h what the State Las done, these funds are warranted. Commissioner Saunders stated that this request is reasonable, but questioned what can be done to fund this request. County Manager Dorrill stated that if the State has decided to reduce this program, Dr. Polkowski could use other money to make this up. He indicated that this program could be reduced or money can be used from other areas if it is a worthy program, adding that Dr. Polkowski has the same type of discretion that he has and it is up to Page 6 August 24, 1988 her to prioritize her work. Dr. polkowski stated that she cannot move money from one program area to another which is so indicated in a memo from nr. Mahan of the State. Conaissioner Hasse referred to a memo that he wrote which sta;;;---"'" '. that in addition to raising ta~es, expenditures should also be cut and there should be a way to reduce the proposed 10\ increase in taxes. Dr. polkowski stated that they have put freezes on positions and are cutting down in certain areas of expenditures. She stated that they have collected $200,000 less in fees this year than what was expected and now because of the State, there is an additional revenue reduction. She stated that in certain priority areas, there will be greater impacts this year. Budget Director Zalka stated that throughout the budget, a cap on certain services has been set at 3\ and this request is for 5.2\. Coøøissioner Hasse stated that he would suggest that no additional funds be approved at this time. Coø8issioner Class stated that he supports Dr. Polkcwski in her request. Commissioner Goodnight stated that the budget should remain the sa.e and if there is a crisis, Dr. Polkowski could come back to the Board of County Commissioners. Coøaissioner Pistor and Commissioner Saunders agreed with COINIissioner Goodnight and indicated if the budget is nct sufficient, aoOl( 117,AI".r.118 Page 7 .,-,_.__."'_....._"~....,,.,.".,._-,--_..._--.,.._.,,_.,,-----_.,..... "JO( 117 ".&~.{ 119 August 24, 1988 then she could come back to the Board during the year. Dr. Polkowski stated that during the season for restaurants, it is also the season for the migrant workers and with reduced staffing, she will have to prioritize. Budget Analyst Gansel stated that Page B-33 is the Mental Health budget which shows an overall increase of 4\ for the David Lawrence Mental Health Center which includes a 3\ increase in the County's contribution and a 56,800 increase in the cost paid directly by the County for ..a1s to prisoners and transportation for clients to the State HospitaL Mr. Ron Meserve, Executive Director of David Lawrence Center, stated that his request was 6\ for funding for the next year, but he would specifically request that the County not fund below the 4\ that has been recommended. \ He stated that this past year with a 6.6\ increase in population, they experienced a 13\ increase to the Mental Health center. He noted that out of the 3,493 new patients admitted, ~4' were court ordered or court referred. He indicated that it is evident that a lot of these are County related services. He noted that with the growth and population of this County, the admissions to the State Hospital is the lowest in the State of Florida because of the services that they are performing. He noted that they provide services regardless of whether they can payor not. He noted that the ratio of funding is 13\ which is down 22\ from two years ago and the State share is 47\. He presented information to the Board regarding Page 8 - - - ", .""" .......----,...--", "'~-", ~ ,-~._...._-,--_., ...-...-.....-",..------. ""....."" ,..."

C~issioner Pistor questioned if any help is received from the court cases that are sent to the Mental Health, to wl .1 Mr. Meserve replied affirmatively. He indicated that some of the programs re;ïTëi:--... County dollars and some of them do not require any County dollars, adding that it is based on fees and fee collection. Coøaissioner Saunders stated that it appears that the Mental Health would like the 6\ but is willing to go along with the 4\ as being recommended by the County Manager. He noted that the consensus of the Board is to go with the County Manager's recommendation. --.-. Recess: 9:40 A.M. - Reconveneð: 9:55 A.M. .-..- CAPXnL XMPROVEHENT Budget Analyst Litsinger stated that this budget includes the CIE Growth Management projects and other County capital projects. He referred to Page 0-56 in the Book of Changes is the Capital Revenue Fund that was established in the previous fiscal year, adding that this is supported by the one mill capital levy County-wide which is a 38\ increase in the coming year. He noted that this is due to a large Carry Forward of $2.4 million and the allocation of these monies go to create a $4.3 million reserve for future capital projects and also to provide $6.7 million for funding of current year capital projects in the Facilities Construction Fund and the Libraries Capital Fund. lOOK 117 I'Ar,r 120 Page 9 IØOC 117 ~ 121 August 24, 1988 Ca..issioner Saunders questioned what the Carry Forward would be next year if those reserves not used much, to which Hr. Litsinger stated that it should be about $4.3 million carry forward. He noted that there is also ð 51 million reserve in facilities construction which could be carried forward to make a total of a $5.3 million Carry Porward. County Manager Dorrill stated that almost a $5 million reserve in Crowth Management will be there which the County has never had before. Commissioner Saunders stated that he is concerned by keeping the tax increase to a minimum this year, there would have to be a large tax increase next year and, therefore, he wants to be sure that there is going to be a sufficient Carry Porward for next year. County Manager Dorrill stated that in the next 60 days, bids will be opened on $13 million worth of construction, which is the new courthouse and the new public service health building and in the event that they come in over budget, there is a problem associated with redesign, re-negotiating, re-bid or the reserve funds will have to be used. Mr. Litsinger stated on Page £-12 and £-13 is the Facilities Construction Fund which is the major fund in the Capital Improvement progra. and this shows an overall increase of 105\. He noted that the revenue sources are $6.4 million transfer from Capital kevenue Funds and the excess unneeded funds from Parks Construction POund of $1.8 mill ion. He noted that there are grants increases of 700' and a Carry Page 10 - - - Forward of $9.7 million. August 24, 1988 He noted that the projects listed under budget highlights are the CIE projects with the number that appear in the Growth Management Plan, adding that this shows t' . ::ost for the next fiscal year, the total cost to complete the project, and the----..,.- funding sources. He stated that the first project is EMS substations with no activities in Fiscal Year 1989 with a total project cost of $929,000 for the total 6 year plan and the $104,000 in Carry forward will be available for other projects in the meantime. He noted that the second project is Building "J- Jail Programming which is the pre- li8inary planning for the construction of the jail addition which is at a cost of $2.1 million and is not being recommended as a project on the current recommended project list, as construction of jail expansion is scheduled for postponement pending the regional jail decision. Sheriff Rogers stated that with the predictions that they have made with the crowded jail, he does not feel that the County can wait on studies with other counties. He noted that he is familiar with the regional jail concept, but this matter has not been worked out. He stated that the concept of a regional jail needs to be studied because the cost could be cut down, but this County is still going to need the jail expansion. He indicated that the County has money problems, but the jail matters have to be taken care of because there are still going to be problems in the future according to all predic- tions. He indicated that the County needs to move ahead with solving some of the jail problems. lOOK 117 I'Ar,[ 122 Page 11 ---.....------,-. .. -.., ., .-_. ."'-'---""'-" .

Ms. Cail Addison, Sheriff's Department, stated that a lot of the prisoners in the County custody have not been sentenced, which means ð lot of transport and extra costs. She stated that there are 535 beds available, including Immokalee and the double bunking. She stated that there will be 634 beds available when Immokalee is brought up to full capacity. She indicated that in 1989 or 1990, there will not be enough beds available. She referred to the various charts indicating how aany beds will be available in the future and how many have been available in the past and it construction is not started, there will be probleas in March of 1990. Comøissioner Saunders questioned with the jail presently constructed, how many beds are there per pod and how long does it take to construct those pods, to which Sheriff Rogers stated that there are about 200 beds per pod. Sheriff Rogers stated that everyone is relying on a regional jail study to solve the problem, but nothing is being done on this. He indicated that if there is going to be a delay with the Regional jail, then the County system is going to have to expand. He indicated that there is always a problem, and nothing is done until there is a crisis. He noted that the last major change in the jail was 1975 and nothing was done from that time until the new jail was built in the 80's. He noted that a Regional jail is not Page 12 - - - ""-""-"""""----"""'" "".-----.-."..".-... _.,.".........."._...~._.."......__...._,,--_....._..."'.~ .. August 24,1988 going to solve all these problems and something needs to be done with the jail now. County Manag~r Dorrill stated that he agrees with Sheriff Rogers, adding that the reason that Collier County got into' study on the Regional jail was because of Lee County. He noted that he is not-----._. eecoaøending delaying a project, adding that architectural and engi- .. neering services are programmed for this co~lng year and construction 8Oney should be available the next year. He indicated that he is inclined to say that another pod will probably be built. C088issioner Saunders stated that all the Commissioners are aware of the problem which will be taken of in a timely fashion. Me. Litsinger stated that Page E-12 is the new courthouse project which is 56,134,000 and project CIE 601 ~s the new health building which will cost 56,104,000 and $1.5 million of that will be from a State grant. He noted that Project 603 is Building -B- renovation and total future cost of $571,000. He noted that Project 605 is the Agriculture Center for a total cost of $915,000 of which $900,000 is a grant from the State. He indicated that Project 607 is the develop- Dent services building which will be funded by the sales tax revenue bond and is a Carry Forward project showing the revenue next year for construction being from those monies carried forward from this year's revenue bond. He indicated that the next item is campus property acquisition of $1 million with a total estimated future cost of $5 .illion with the initial intended use being the Cargiulo property. 1001( 117I'A'",[ 124 Page 13 "'.._."---"'--._"-"_..""".".._----_.-._".."""'.~-",..""_..."..",...",. .--. ,------------~.. August 24, 1988 the next item is satellite government buildings which has an amount of $1 million of which $440,000 was Carry Forward from the previous use and is intended for EMS/Sheriff Substations in Colden Catc and North Naples, which are two different projects. He noted that the next item is a storage mezzanine for facilities management Cor $30,000 and the next project is the snack bar renovation for $70,000. Commissioner Saunders stated that they have the list in front of thea and it is really not necessary to go through all the projects, adding that if a Commissioner has a problem with any of the projects, they can ask questions. County Manager Dorril1 stated that on Page E-13 is the list of projects that he is not recommending. Commissioner Goodnight stated that she thought that the T-Hangars in Immokalee had a grant from the State and questioned why it is being postponed, to which Mr. Litsinger stated that there was matching 8Oney for this project. Public Works Administrator Archibald stated that he has made application for the grants, adding that one of the conditions was to come up with a lessee that would occupy this and still come up with the funding. He noted that it is still an active program if the County can get funds. He noted that the grant was for $100,000 and the County would have to come up with $100,000 also. lie stated that the grant is being kept alive through the application process. pagc 14 - - - _.__._~----'".".". ...""'...-.-.-.-.--....,.-- .-.-..-,.,--,-."-..-,,. -"'""'-'-"-'-".' ",.,..",. ^ugust 24, 1988 C~issioner Saunders questioned what the Phase II involves of the Beach Nourishment stud~, to which County Manager Dorrill stated thaL there are two phases, adding that this is the Creater Naples Area Beach Renourishment Study. He noted that there is $: ,000 to con- tinue with the work that Coastal Engineering is doing which is th~ --. .. design and permitting phase, adding that there is a second phase that is associated with the sand survey analysis where they drill the cores and deter.ine the sand deposits and then preparation of the final construction documents, which is the money that is shown on the not recommended portion. He noted that there is a project and he acknowledges this, but he questions the ability to do all of this next year. Commissioner Saunders stated that if this proposal is approved, it is not going to delay the project, it is simply recognizing that the County is working in stages. County Manager Dorrill stated that next year it will have to be deter.ined if this is going to be continued, adding that he assumes that the project will go forward but it is to be deter.ined in stages. Mr. Frederick voss, Collier Beach Preservation Society, stated that there are certain things that the State needs before they will participate in this program; one of them is access to the beaches which is not a problem and in addition, there has to be a suitable sand source and apparently there is sufficient sand of good quality and the engineering has to be done on the beach. He stated that if Page 15 IOO( 117 I'AQ 126 '-."-"'-""."""-"-'-. , , "."."'.'..'-""".".._'--- . ""--...--..,,-.....

He noted that if the project is going to con- tinue, the engineering has to be done. Commissioner Saunders stated that he needs to know what is included in Phase I and what is included in Phase II and what is needed during the fiscal year to keep this project going. He stated that he woul, suggest that this line item be taken under consideration and get a report back from Coastal Engineering regarding this matter. County Manager Dorrill stated that the money should not be com- mitted until it is known whether the project can move ahead. He indi- cated that between this Fund and Fund 196, there is $3.5 million to insure that this project can move ahead and this money can be set aside, but in the meantime, he will generate the additional infor- mation and bring this matter back as a report to the Board. Coømissioner Class questioned if the substations for the Sheriff's department are the ones that are being replaced, to which Mr. Litsinger stated that these are not being recommended as these needs will be addressed under the satellite government buildings. County Manager Dorrill stated that this is included in the Manager's budget and the Sheriff did not need it in his budget. He noted that the satellite building is North Naples and Colden Cate area. Mr. Litsinger stated that the next fund is on page E-14 which is Debt Service and Capital which is Wiggins Pass Fund 304 and is a Page 16 - - - .

He noted that there is no activity in this fund other than reserves for next yc County Manager Dorrill stated that questionnaires .Jve been maíJ~rl ------, regarding the dredging project and he hopes to have an answer back on "'- this by the end of September. He noted that if the project moves for- ward, ~he design could be completed and the money for the project could be borrowed and then paid back in subsequent years. Mr. Litsinger stated that on Page £-15 is the Parks Construction Capital Fund which shows a 34\ decrease in activities which is due to the fact that parks projects are in the planning and engineering stage in FY '89 with construction in future fiscal years, adding that of significance is the fact that the County is able to transfer $1.8 million to facilities construction in ideal monies in order to facili- tate projects in Fund 301. He indicated that under revenues there are no taxes in the coming fiscal year other than a small transfer from the MSTD General Fund. He noted that there are five CI£ projects listed under the County Manager's recommended project list; Project 701 is bicycle trails which is $37,000 for engineering and completion of the project will cost $320,000; Project 702 is Community Park '6 appraisal, noting that the parks impact fee in the CIE financing plan will raise $5,400,000 for Community Park '6 and 17; project 703 is Com8Unity Park Phase II which is $472,000 for engineering and prelimi- nary design work and the total project cost will be $5.4 million over ;;;; l-}¡r!:1.28 Page 17 """..--.'-"""..""""""

He stated that on Page £-16 there are two projects that are not being recommended by the County Manager; parking lots at Colden Gate Community Park and North Naples Community Park. In answer to Commissioner Pistor regarding the parking lots, County Manager Dorrill stated that he has chosen to see if the Road and Bridge Department can purchase some material to put down the sub- grade and the limerock base in the coming year, adding that this is siaply overflow parking.

DEB'l' 8ERVXCB Budget Analyst Cansel stated that Pages E-l through E-9 shows the Debt Service Funds, adding that there are two additional funds included in this year's budget due t~ a reallocation of the special assessment budgets, adding that there are no significant issues in those funds. She stated that the Parks COB budget is on Page E-5, adding that the millage rate to fund the debt service for this fund was based on property values, excluding Seagate properties which were recently annexed into the City of Naples.

She noted that there has been a revised assessment for this fund which increases the property values that this millage is assessed to. She noted that the Board may decrease the millage rate, but it is such a small amount that she is not sure if the Board wculd want to do this, adding that it would be decreased from .1281 to .1280 and that reduction equates to a penny per S100,000 taxable value. Commissioner Saunders stated that this decision will be left up to the Budget Department as to what they would like to do with that penny.
