COURTS AND RELATED AGENCIES Budget Analyst Litsinger advised that the main budget book will be used during the presentation of Courts and Related Agencies. Court Reporter ~ Page A-57 - Mr. Litsinger stated that this budget reflects a 27% increase in operating expenses due to an increase in the number and complexities of trials. He stated that on July 28, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners approved an additional $30,000 in 6xpenses for the current year to cover the expenses of the increased workload, and therefore, the 2~~ Increase in next year's budget is justified. Commissioner Pistor questioned whether the budget request is suf- ficient? He stated he has been advised by the State Attorney that there are a couple trlals which may be lengthy and complex, and will probably cost a considerable amount of money. Official Court Reporter Carrothers stated there are a couple trials coming up" starting in October, which look like they will be quite lengthy. He explained that anytime a trial runs 10 days to 2 weeks or more, the expense increases dramatically over normal trials. Commissioner Pistor stated that he is not necessarily recommending that the budget be changed, however, he wanted the Commission to be aware that from all indications, additional funds may be needed. He pointed out that it is not only the Court Reporter involved. Mr. Carrothers stated that the Public Defender's Office and the State Attorney's Office are very conservative with depositions. He ." . .; !,; ,1:'1 - - ,;: ;. ~ :.~, ... Page 2 r~' ·~"f)...\ - - - AUGUST 13..··1987 stated that the unexpected costs in these agencies arise from an unexpected lengthy trial. In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Carrothers stated that the triðls Commissioner pistor is addressing may cost an additional $20,000. Ms. Za1ka stated that the budget office has not previously received this information. Also replying to Commissioner Saunders, Ms. Zalka stated that if the Board feels confident that there will be substantial costs which are not reflected in the budget, those costs should be reflected at this time. Replying to Commissioner Glass, Ms. Zalka stated that any overage in the Court Reporter's Budget is carried forward to the next year., Commissioner Saunders suggested that the Court Reporters budget be increased by $20,000.' The other Commissioners agreed, with the excep- tion of Chairman Hasse. Court counselinq - Page A-58 - Mr. Litsinger stated there is no significant change in this budget which shows a 2.7' decrease.'; He said the decrease is due to a capital expenditure which will not be repeated next year. witness Manaqement/Viotim Assistanoe - Page A-59 - Mr. Litsinger' stated there is a 68% increase in this budget, inèluding $4,300 in an expanded service for computer equipment for automation of witness records. He said an $18,000 increase in personal services is requested for the phase-in of a,Clerk III from this year's budget and the upgrading of two existing positions. ,-J 't \, .. aODK 10B PAGE 3"9.9 Page 3 ¡ !..;~ T ____.__._",._-"~'~N_'.....___~_.,___..""__ aOOK 106 pm 400 ': \;¡ I , ,¡ ¡. AUGUST 13, 1987 In answer to Commissione~ Glass, Court Administ~ato~ Bell advised that under Florida Statute Chapter 960, Counties have been given the obligation to create a Victim's Assistance Program, which Collier County has accomplished. He said that while the programs are located in the same office,' they are two totally separate functions. He noted it is spelled out very specifically what must be done to accommodate, help, and aid victims of crime that are reported to the State Attorney's Office. He stated that is why the program was increased to 3 positions during this fiscal year, and also why the addition of a computer is necessary. ~tr. Bell stated that when a case is goi~g to trial, the State' Attorney's Offièe subpoenas a list of witnesses. He said the list' could be comprised of two witnesses or twenty-two witnesses depending on the trial itself. He continued by stating that the function of the Witness Management Program is to get the witnesses to the Courthouse, get them before the right judge in the right courtroom, and hold them here as long as they are needed in trial. He requested the Commission to imagine what it is like to be told you will be at the Courthouse at 9:00 to testify in a case. He said pèople who have not had the experience are traumatized to be here and don't know where they are supposed to report. He said the Witness Management employees literally take charge of the witnesses and have them present so the State Attorney's case can proceed with order rather than the sometimes chaotic scenes which have occurred in the past. Ii ,; !' "~i. '·;d ~,~, JPage t.t4. J .... - - - AUGUST 13, 1987 Mr. Bell stated that F.S. Chapter 960 mandates that the Victim Assistance Program provide everything from transportation to the courthouse to intervening with the employer, death counseling or wha- tever the victim may request. He stated they have to intercede in every phase of the victim's life. He advised the program is wo~king well, but the problem is the enormous increase in paperwork. Mr. Bell stated a lot of money comes back to Collier County from the State because of the accurate record keeping done by the program. In answer to Commissioner Glass, Mr. Bell stated the program does not run a hot line or anything of that nature. He also stated that this program is only for victims in cases that are being prosecuted. circuit court JUdges - Page A-50 - Mr. Litsinger stated this budget reflects a 28% decrease over the curren~ fiscal year's budget. He said the reason for the reduction is significant purchases of office furniture and equipment made in the current year will not be repeated next year. Parol. , Probation - Page A-51 - Mr. Litsinger stated the tòtal request represents a 46% increase, which includes expanded services for one probation officer position and one probation officer assistant position, and additional data processing terminal and service from the Clerk's Data processing. Mr. Litsinger stated the Budget Office does not recommend the Probation Officer Assistant position due to fact that two positions would represent a 22\ increase in Staff and there has been a 7% Page S, Hi;' . . 1 \_ / .1 r~~~ '¡ aDOK 10R PA~[ 401 106 PAr.t 402 r¡;' ! t,' , AUGUST l3, 1987 increase in the workload. He also noted that beginning with the current fiscal year the Probation Department has gQne from b~ing a totally fee supported function to requirfng ad valorem support. Mr. Litsinger stated that in the operating expenses for services from the Clerk of Courts, the Board added $24,000 on July 27, 1987 to the current budget, an~ the large increase in expenses for next year is for the same type of charges. Commissioner Pistor noted that there will probably be a tremendous increase in the number of people on probation because of current court decisfons, judges using probation more of~~~, and early releases. Parole & Probation Supervisor Offitt st~ted that in June, 1987, the case load increased by 200 people. She stated it is their feeling that this has been caused by the BAT Mobile increa~ing the number of DUI convictions, as well as the number pleading guilty in DUI cases because they can see th~mselves on tape. She stated there are pre- sently l,944 people on probation with three probation officers, her- self, and one assistant, or a case load of 600 persons per Probation Officer. She stated the Probation Officer Assistant currently has S2 warrants on her desk to be processed and each one takes approximately one hour preparation before processing. She advised that the warrants must be processed expeditiously before the person absconds from the area or the consequences are not felt so severely. She noted the JudQes are requiring the warrants be on their desks 7 days after ~ . ;:..

In answer to Ms. Zalka, Mrs. Offitt stated that the number of cases are already far exceeding the estimates given to the budget office in March. Ms. Zalka inquired if there are 200 more cases for June, how many finished their probation in June? Mrs. Offitt stated that approximately 70 to 80 people go off probation each month. Commissioner Saunders stated that he has worked with the Probation Department and anywhere in the Country they tend to be overworked and underpaid because it is an area people dn ~vt like to fund. He stated that one of the functions they perform is an opportunity to rehabili- tate through the probation process, and the numbers of 600 proba- tioners per probation officer is astronomical and it is not possible to contact that many people in a week. He stated that the expanded . request for personnel is reasonable. Tape '2 Mrs. Qffitt stated that the salaries of the three probations offi- cers has to be raised during the current year because of high tur- nover. She stated the turnover is caused by the tremendous amount of work vs. the salary rate. In answer to Commissioner Glass, Mrs. Qffitt stated that the Board of County Commissioners sets the fee level for probationers, with the agreement of the County judges. She stated the current fee is $20 per month. She noted there is one judge who will bgree to raising the fee to $25, however, there is one judge who does not want to raise it. aODK 10R ~Ar.[ 403 Page 7 : ¡ iI I ,!:;.' I ,.I ~: * aOD( 106 mt 404 AUGUST 13, 1987 I~s. Za1ka pointed out that whèn thé:fee~:~re higher, fewer proba- tioners pay the fee. Replying to Chairman Hasse, Mrs. Offitt stated that if the probationer is indigent, they are not required to pay the $20. She noted that probationers who ju~t do not pay are sent back before the judge and may be sent back to jail, however, it costs $44 per day for incarceration. She also mentioned that with enough Staff, collections may also increase. Commissioner Pistor stated there will soon be another County Judge and this will add more people to the pro~~~ion cases. He stated that whether the Commission goes along with che budget or not, Mrs. Offitt will probably be back within a few months requesting another budget change to handle the overwhelming workload. Commissioner Goodnight stated that if the Board is going to fund the additional Probation Officer, the Assistant position also needs to be funded. She stated 2/¡ is a good ratio, however 4/1 is not realistic. It was the general consensus, that the Parole , Probation Budget be funded as requested. Courtroom Operation' Maintenance - Page A-G3 - Mr. Litsinger stated the increase being requested is 123% including expanded ser- vices. He said the expanded services include $25,000 for Courthouse Complex Security Services on weekends, conversion of the old Law Library to a hearing room for Judge Hayes, and a position for a telephone receptionist to serve the judges offices and assist in other ;' l!': "':,(~:, t, ¡ ','.' ...'.

Mr. Litsinger stated the Budget Office does not recommend fundi~g the position of telephone receptionist because the main justification was to answer the tel~phones and it is felt call-forwarding service available from the County Switchboard could serve that purpose. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Mr. Litsinger stated there were also increases in current service because of a phase-in of a Mediator/ Coordinator position during the year and security services was increased at the Courthouse Complex to include evenings. Court Administrator Bell stated thet Juring the weekends there have been break-ins. He stated the snack·'bar has been broken into twice and Building "F" has been broken into twice. He explained that security ends on Friday evenings at 9:00 p.m.~nd the ~rounds are not '. covered again until Monday mornings. He stated they would like to take on another position and make it 24 hours/7 days per week. Mr. Bell stated the County has contracted with Pinkerton Detective Agency to provide thiD service. He said good service is being provided, however, Staff is working with Pinkerton at this time to improve that service. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Mr. Bell stated that they are working " with Facilities Management to work out conditions so that Building "F" can be locked on nights and weekends. He noted there are a few .' problems with this since the Law Library has been lo~ated in Building "F". '. . , .. &OO~ lOR I'm 405 Page 9 I ~ 't. '~_ . .~ ~ ~ :;.- . _ v- :. BOOK 106 PAr,t 4.06 AUGUST l3, 1987 Mr. Bell stated he has'b~eJIJ~~ue~~~¡bY each of the 5+ judge~, and Judge Smith, to please beseech the Board to grant this position. He said that they have been using call-forwarding, however, you would have to go to the most backwoods section'of this Country to find a Courthouse that does not have a receptionist. He stated this is not simply a telephone operator to answer phones only for the judges, but the person will fill in when necessary in actual offices whenever needed. He noted that with the Federal Courthouse beginning September 8, there must be some central place for þê~p1e to call. Commissioner Pistor stated that it is not even certain that the requested $177,000 will be adequate to cover the increased costs with the Federal Court. It vas the general consensus that the Courtroom operation , Maintenanoe be budget be allowed as requested, inoluding the recep- tionist position. County Court Judges - Page A-64 - Mr. Litsinger stated there is a request for a 19.5% increase in this budget. He stated the increase is due to general office operations caused by an increase in the ser- vice budget and computer costs. He stated they will be replacing current typewriters with data processing equipment. Eoonomic crime Rehabilitation Program - Page A-65 - Mr. Litsinger stated there is a slight increase in this budget, however, the program generates revenue and is self-supporting. Aloohol Information Classes - Page A-66 - Mr. Litßinger stated :1:;· "'. ,.

In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Litsinger stated the decrease is due to a problem with finding instructors for the classes. Naples Wilderness Alternative - Page A-67 Mr. Litsinger stated there is no significant change in this budget which reflects a 3.3% increase. He noted the level of activity will remain the same. state Attorney'_ ottice - Page A-68 - Mr. Litsinger stated there is ~ 15.4% increase in operating costs due to increased telecom- munications costs. He noted that there ~: a new revenue of $48,900 shown which reduces the net cost to ge~eral revenues by 35%. He stated the new revenue is a reimbursement from the Local Government Criminal Justice Trust Fund for communications" costs incurred by the County in support of the State Attorney's Office. Commissioner Pistor stated it is his understanding that there will be more money available to counties for conflict cases, and there is a meeting on this being held in September. Public Detender's ottice - Page A-69 - Mr. Litsinger stated there is an 8% decrease in expenses for this budget. He stated the decrease is primarily due to an over-estimation of expenses within the current ., '_I; year. In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Litsinger exp~aine~ that . .; ~ r' I,' - . the Public Defender must estimate his workload to arrive at expenses. Ms. Zalka stated these are items such as telephone, utilities, etc. .,', ',,1. i.:: t <' '. .'(!. - :' .J . i' , , " '~ Page 11 \-, , ~ : )( aODK 106 PAGE 407 h aODIC lOB pm 40S ( " ; 1 ~. ,: t ': AUGUST 13, 1987 MSTD special Revenue General Punð - stat. Attorney - Page C-l3 - Mr. Litsinger stated this is the unincorporated area portion of the State Attorney's budget. He stated it is for the enforcement of County Codes and Or~inances such as zoning, building permits, tree removal, etc. He stated there is a 22.6% increase in expenses, however, there is a change in the method of paying for this particular service. Mr. Litsinger stated that previously the Board paid for a one-half posi~ion funded under personal services and next year it will be a contract for direct service on an hourly basis as the service is used. In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Ms. lalka stated the hourly rate has not b~en established as yet. Ms. Zalka stated that the previously funded position was funded in conjunction with the City"of Naples. She advised that the State Attorney has had continual problems in filling the position, and not much service was provided. She stated that a contract has been suggested, rather than the specific position, so that whichever Attorney handles the County's cases would be paid. In answer to Commissioner Glass, Ms. Zalka stated that if the Board decides on a hearing officer method of enforcement, it would simply mean the County would not be using the State Attorney's office as much for prosecution of cases. Commissioner Saunders stated that the reason for funding the posi- r: tion with the City was to enable the State Attorney to have a special '/,:¡'''~i';;~)' I,;' ;';)~.':' Page 12 - .. - _.,.._....."~..~_"'._,,~,,,_,_ "a.. .... -.... ,---- ....

He said that if a special posi-, tion is not funded, the State Attorney already hasthe'obligåtion to prosecute code violations. He said it is a question as to when they are prosecuted, not if. He asked if the contract would move the County up on the list for prosecution? Ms. Zalka stated that during discussions, the contract was pro- posed as a way to encourage higher priority. Commissioner Saunders stated that using this method, the County i~ paying for the service twice.

Veteran Servioes - Page A-29 - Budge~ Analyst Gansel stdted this budget increase is 37.6% for a total request of $109,900.00. She stated the primary reason for the current service increase is due to rental of a building and associated cost. She stated there is an expanded service request of $6,900.00 for a computer and office equip- ment for a Veteran's Information System. Tape t3 Youth Guidance - Page A-30 - Ms. PÜe stated that Youth Gt.l1dahce has been operating two programs, one in Naples and one in Immokalee. She advised that the Immoka1ee Program has been funded by a grant and Collièr County has not been awarded that grant for the next fiscal year. She stated this \liil mean a change in the program. Public Services Administrator O'Donnell stated the reason the grant is not available to Col1ièr County next year is' because it was a three-year funding grant which was non-renewable after FY-1987. He stated the Youth Guidance Director has been attempting to secure addi- tional funds, however, has not been successful. He noted that this grant essentially operated the Immokalee Office, including personnel and operating costs of $56,000. Mr. O'Donnell stated that the program will operate next year with a Staff of one Director and two Youth Guidance Specialists. He stated they anticipate trying to provide service County-wide, however, the ; ., \ _;¡ " ,:" ;M:~. ':} '/,{.n:::,¡, Þh~eii~¡ , - - - AUGUST 13, 1987 level of service will be reduced. He stated the Director has been able to secure meeting spaces with the Sheriff's facility and the Library in Immokalee to try and maintain service in that area. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Youth Guidance Director Conners stated they work with the school Board when children are referred to Youth Guidance Programs. She stated they were going to begin a tutoring program in the fall because the guidance counselors in the schools feel that the children with disabilities could use more tutoring. She advised that most children are referred from the Schools, HRS, and the Courts. She noted that the School,Board does not contribute to this program. Commissioner Pistor stated that this is an important activity with the problems being faced in Immokalee and he p:rsonslly would hate to see it end. Commissioner Goodnight stated that at last year's budget hearing, the Commission was told the grant would not be refunded. She stated her feeling that the County must either fund the program or place a position in Immokalee. She stated that left the way it is proposed, Immokalee will not receive any service, and half of the program is comprised of youths in Immokalee. She stated her feeling , that if the program is to have services cut-back, it should bè done on a County-wide . r·1'! basis. Mr. O'Donnell stated that with the addition of p'arks &,Recreation Programs in Immokalee and the opening of the Immokalee,Co~~~ity Park, ; , ; :' ,. : t "" I' C, Page 15 aDO( 106 FAq 411 . j ; (,; ..:.

Replying to Commissioner Saunders, Parks & Recreation Director Crawford stated that some of the needs can be met, however, .there is a difference in the scope of the programs. He stated that Parks & . Recreation is specifically oriented to recreational opportunities for children, whereas, Youth Guidance seems to be oriented to counseling of children. He stated there is a little overlapping, but Parks & Recreation could fill the recreation portion of Youth Guidance's summer program. Ms. Conners stated that at one time Yo~th Guidance was recreational, however, the program is moving more and more into guidance and counseling. ~he stated that they agree that they need to drop the summer day camp program, but keep the Consequences of Crime Program, Advertures of Life Program, Self-Group, Pals Program, Community Betterment Progf.am, and the Tutoring Program. She noted that these programs are fo~ pre-delinquents and delinquents. Answering Commissioner Saunders, Ms. Conners stated her feeling that the department will have a problem running the programs in Immokalee and recommended another specialist be placed in Immokalee. Commissioner Goodnight stated she would be happy if only one posi- tion was eliminated from Immokalee ðnd one position would remain there. County Manager Dorrill rec~mmended that in order to maintain, the, ,j Page 16 , !.~ ,:. c'~ ~ -. .. . .~. r,1 ",L~ AUGUST 13, 1987 budget, because any addition to the budget will result in reductions in other programs or reductions in the reserves, that Youth Guidance be a three member department, one director, and two counselor posi- tions, one in Naples full-time and one in Immokalee full-time, with the recreation element being picked up by the Parks & Recreation Department within the new Community Parks. Ms. Connors stated that the Adventures of Life Program is for ado- lescent boys and it should not be taken over by a woman and it will have to be eliminated in Naples. She also stated the Tutoring Program will need to be eliminated. She advised that if there is to be a full-time position in Immokalee, they will np.ed office space. Mr. Dorrill stated that office space 10 the least of the problems. He stated counselors will be needed in both ar~as and probably will have to insist that someone from Immokalee be hired in that position. He stated that he is sure that they can work within the recommended $101,000.00 budget. Ms. Pike suggested that this budget be brought back at wrap-up showing how it will work within the recommended budget. Commissioner Saunders stated he would like to see it shown two ways: l} showing , ; one counselor in Immokalee and one in Naples: and 2) showing one posi- tion in Immokalee and leaving two in Naples. Animal Control - Page A-31 - Ms. Pike stated this budget shows ',-\ an ,increase of 10% with no expanded services being requested.

Ms. Pike stated the budget shows an 8.3% increase in revenues. Meðioal Examiner - Page A-32 - Ms. Pike stated the total budget has an increase of 25%. She stated there are a number of items listed . on Page 33 showing increases in current service, as well as expanded service requests. She stated they are requesting a computer, two new telephone lines, a microscope and setting up and equipping a septic autopsy room. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Ms. Pike stated that the telephone lines are currently paid for by the Medi~o~ Examiner. Public Services Administrator O'Donnell stated that the Meùical Examiner is a contractual employee and picks up the telephone expense. He stated that the Medical Examiner has requested that item be picked up by the County. Ms. Pike pointed out that he is requesting only an addi- tional two lines and he will still be responsible ~or the base cost of the telephone. Mr. O'Donnell stated there are currently three employees in the office: the Medical Examiner, an Associate, and a Secretary. He stated the work area and freezer is a short distance away from their actual offices and they would like a phone in the work area. Ms. Pike stated that a 4.5% increase for the employees is reflected in current service and is consistent with Board policy. Replying to Chairman Hasse, Mr. O'Donnell explained that the County contracts with the Medical Examiner and he contracts with his Page 18 1 , :('~.;, .. , ; \~ J ^. AUGUST l3, 1987 employees and pays them. Replying to Commissioner Saunders, County Manager Dorrill stated that the $15,100 in revenues is the amount contributed from the State for cost sharing. Medical Examiner Schmid stated that the present r~muneration for his Associate is impractical considering present market conditions. He stated that one of the junior pathologists at Naples Community Hospital just resigned because of an offer of more money. He stated that current market conditions indicate that it is realistic that his Associate will be able to secure a job offer for $40,000 per year more than he is receiving now. He stated that he has not been able to keep the position filled because of the low ~muunt of money. He then requested that his Associate's position be raised from $68,000 to " $1l5,000 per year. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Dr. Schmid stated there are some efforts underway to get the State to take over the expenses of the Medical Examiner's office, however, he is not sure of the exact 8tatus. Replying to Commissioner Saunders, Dr. Schmid stated the Secretary's salary is $l7,472 per annum and his is $l19,000 per annum. He stated that he has done work for this County since 1963 and has been full-time since 1972. He stated his assistant has been in Collier County for 11 years and is from Madison, Wi~consin.

He noted that there are no fringe benefits for the assistant position., Tape '4 County Manager Dorrill stated that CGllier County pays more than Dade County today. He said that since neither the State Stðtutes, nor Dr. Schmid's contract preclude him from workirg in the private sector, he would suggest that Dr. Schmid's office take on more private work. Replying to Chairman Hasse, Dr. Schmid stated they do occasional private autopsies when requested by re11ltives of patients who die. He stated that in those cases, they charge on a service for fee basis. Commissioner Saunders stated that $68,000 sounds low to him. Mr. Dorrill stated that Dade County has three assistants with a salary range of $65,000 to $80,000; Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto Counties are paying $50,000 to $70~000: and Lee County pays per autopsy which would provide an assistant with $50,000 to $55,000 based on $300 to $400 per autopsy.

In response to Commissioner Saunders, Health Department Director polkowski stated that the OB-GYN situation is still a crisis. She stated that recently a local obstetrician was in the hospital for 48 hours straight because of the heavy workload. County Manager Dorrill stated that the $165,000 for the Improved Pregnancy Outcome Program, which was a new program this year directly related to the OB crisis, is still in the budget. He stated the program may not be currently implemented to the degree that either the Board or Dr. Polkowski would like, but it is still in the budget ana " does not preclude revising the program to include midwives. Commissioner Saunders stated that he feels now is the time to discuss the OB/GYN program, however, if there is no interest in discussing, he is happy to proceed to the next budg~t. Dr. Polkowski stated that the $l65,000 is not really sufficient. She stated that some alternatives are being discussed at the present time and it is going through the hospital and medical committees.

Public Services Administrator O'Donnell stated that the County is mandated by the State to contribute 25% of the total operation of the . Mental Health facility. He stated it does not have to come directly from County monies, "but is specified as local match. He stated that this could come from private donations. He also stated that the match is specified by Mental, Health, and not specifically for David Lawrence, however, David Lawrence is the agency fulfilling this need and why they have historically received this money. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Mr. O'Do~~~il stated that the County Mental Health obligation is being contr;buted only to David Lawrence. He stated the County is funding to a lesser extent some agencies, such as Hospice. Commissioner Glass stated that he does not bel~eve the Commission has a handle on what is going on with all of the different monies. He stated there is a lot of fee basis work going on at David Lawrence and activities are expanded more toward providing profit services. Responding to Commissioner Glass, Commissioner Goodnight stated the services in Immokalee are not actually new. She said they have been there for several years and they have been housed in County trailers by the landfill. She stated they have received money from the State to build a new facility. She advised that it is an alcoho- lic center and has been funded for approximately 1,0 years. Commissioner Saunders requested discussion on where the money is ;1 . 1, !

Mr. David Schimmel, Assistant Director of David Lawrence Mental Health, stated that David Lawrence is a non-profit organization. He stated they charge fees on a sliding scale to match State dollars. He staled they receive funds for their match from private donations, fees, and the County Commission. He stated their total budget is $4,000,000 and they provide the County Staff with audit reports so the County has a complete breakdown of revenues and expenses. Mr. Schimmel stated that of the $4,000.~~0, half comes through State contracts which all require match money. He stated there was a time when the County provided almost 25% of the budget. He advised the amount being requested for FY 87/88 represents approximately 16%. Chairman Hasse stated that as long as David Lawrence continues to expand, they will not ~how a profit. He advised that the County has just about reached its saturation point. Mr. Schimmel stated that David Lawrence is the only licensed agency in the County. He stated that it is their responsibility to provide the services. Commissioner Glass asked whether David Lawrence took an active role in trying to prevent a new psychiatric hospital from getting a Certificate of Need in North Naples? Mr. Schimmel stated yes, they did. Responding again to Commissioner Glass, Mr. Schimmel stated they took this position because the need did not exist in·~their' opinion. : Chairman Hasse stated that if David Lawrence continues to inóre8se the " aDD( 10B FAGl419 Page 23 ~;;):. .. 1 Ol; ~ ' J.:)U i; ," 'J -. 106 PAGt 420 size of their organization, th~~~~ustJ~'janticipa~ing a need. Schimmel stated their service grows because the need is there. AUGUST l3, 1987 Mr. He atated the County has grown tremendously in the last three or four . years and the David Lawrence Mental Health Center has tripled in size. In answer to Co~missioner Pistor; Mr. Schimmel stated the programs are not the same as they were 10 years ago. Responding to Commissioner Glass, Mr. Schimmel stated that the Youth Drug Program has been operating since January, 1987 and things are going smoothly. He said the census at this point is approximately 60% of which 90% are from Collier County. He also stated that the only requirement the State has imposed Js that David Lawrence assess people from Lee, Hendry and Glades Counties. He advised that Sarasota just opened their own adolescent drug treatment center. He stated than since inception, chi~ program has graduated aþproximatelY'lO'to 12 individuals, there ðre l3 or 14 children in treatment at this time, and maybe two children are from outside the County. County Manager Dorrill advised that State Statutes require that local sources contribute 25% of the revenue. He said they Can consist of contributions from the County Commission, donations from local citizens and client associated fees. He said the State funds for this activity next year are Ðpproximately $2,000,000: client fees and dona- tions make-up over $l,OOO,OOO and the County Commission is being asked ~ ".; . . ¡,:: J - .. to consider an allocation of $636,000.

He said the $636,000 in sup- port from the County Commission is in excess of the local requirement for licensed mental health providers in each respective county. In answer to Chairman Hasse, Mr. Dorrill explained that what he means is that the local minimum funding, required by Statute, is met through the client fees and donations from either the Foundation for ~Iental Health or private donations and contributions. Mr. Schimmel stated that Mr. Dorrill's assessment is accurate, and they have always been very appreciative of support from the County and probably the reason why they are one of the better Mental Health Centers in the State of Florida. Responding to Chairman Hasse, Mr. S~hil~mel stated they are fami- liar with the other groups requesting monies, however, they do not feel there is duplication of services. Mr. Dorrill explained to Commissioner Saunders that the $17,200 in operating expenses is for meals provided to the "detox",facili~y,in Immokalee. He said for years the Sheriff's kitchen has provided the meals program for the "detox" center which is adjacent to the Immokalee Jail. Mr. Jarvis, Comptroller for David Lawrence, stated tha~ ,these funds are not disbursed to David Lawrence, but rather sent directly to the Sheriff on a per meal basis. Mr. Dorrill advised that local sources are paying approximately 48% to 49% of the David Lawrence Mental Health Center's buågetas opposed to the minimum level of,funding of 25%. Mr, Jarvis stated (, " J ' Page 25 ~ODK lOB PAG[ 421 .·_'0'.____ ¡, aOOK 106 FAG[ 422 '\ ,I ¡ , ", .t '" t i .)1 AUGUST 13, 1987 that if the Center has to go back to operating at a minimum level, it will require the discontinuation of a lot of programs. In answer to Ch~irman Hasse, Mr. Dorrill stated that the Center submits audited financial statements, however, they do not break down the expenses to such things as salaries. Mr. Jarvis stated that wages are in excess of $2,800,000 for both salaries and fringe benefits. Chairman Hasse requested Mr. Jarvis to supply Mr. O'Donnell a break- down of the salary schedule. Tape f5 It was the general oonsensus to approv~ ~he Mental Health Budget at last years level of $609,200 plus th~ $l7,200 for the meals at the "detox" oenter, for a total funding for FY 87/88 of $626,400.00. . Tri-County Senior serVioes - Page A-36 - Ms. Pike stated there are two expanded service requests being recommended by the County Manager: 1) $7,700 in matching funds which will enable the Center to purchase 5 new vans; and 2) $8,800 for movable wall partitions. County Manager Dorrill stated he is recommending the money for the movable partitions because public donations built a senior center in Immokalee. He stated the County is using that center as a small audi- torium or activity room. He stated these partitions will accommodate multiple meetings in the building at one time. Hospioe - Pag~ A-37 - Ms. Pike stated the recommended budget for this program is $ll,OOO which is a 10% increase over the current year. Commissioner Pistor stated that if this funding is not continued, . r " ~ Page 26 - .. - ., ~"'----""""'--''''''-''-----''''--'''''--'P_'''~-'''"'-"'"'-''-''''''''' - - .--..-------,. AUGUST 13, 1981 the Commission would need to increase the Social Services Department budget because Hospice is presently providing services for people who would otherwise use the county Department. Chairman Hasse stated that he feels it is worthwhile and within reason. County Forester - Page A-38 - Ms. Pike stated that there is no increase requested in this $3,000 budget. She said the moneY is used for technical services. Chairman Hasse asked if this request is sufficient? Public" Services Administrator O'Donnell stated ~\~ $3,000 was the request of this agency. Collier Soil & Water District - Page A-39 - Ms. Pike stated there is a 4.6% increase in this budget for a total of $39,300. She said there are two expanded programs: 1) $600 for a membership in the National and State Association of Conservation Districts; and 2) $l,OOO for travel to attend conservation district meetings and training sessions. Mr. Tom Jones, District Conservationist for the USDA Soil Conservation Service and primary technical advisor to the Collier Soil & Water Conservation District, stated they are present to request funding for a staff position in order to increase, the level of service to the County in the area of water irrigation management., He stated that Water Resources in Collier County are under incfeasing' pressure from expanding population, expanding tourist industry, and an " '" ''', (~~ i 1 ¡'" aOD~ lOB m·t 423 ¡ Page :27 ; ;:~ , .. i:\r, ~iJ ..~.t :~)1 J;, y'; _...-,_.~"_.........,,.__,_,~...._ ".N"'_'~"" .,.... _,,-. ~~~_~".__.~.""_._~.....~~""... 106 PAGE 424 r ~ ": i ; : J J':-' . . ¡ ~ J ..~' AUGUST l3,:'1987' expanding agricultural industry. He stated they feel one way to increase the longevity of the water resovrces is to promote a program that will advocate the use of conservation irrigation practices. He stated that in conjunction with the technology currently available in the irrigation industry, the application of these practices, the efficiency will be maximized throughout the area. Mr. Jones stated the way to accomplish this is to provide tech- nical assistance in the field on an individual and case by Case basis to work with the individuals involved with the systems. He 'said an irrigation system contains two parts: J.) the hardware component: and 2) actual operator of the system. He said assuming the components, such as pipelines, sprinkler, emiters, are installed properly, the individual who decides if·· it is time to irrigate or not to i'rrlgate," for how long they need to operate the system, become the management of the system. He stated that if time is spent with these individuals, the irrigation systems in this County could be maximized. Cou~ty Manager Dorrill stated thÍlt this was presented to/him,' however, he elected not to fund it iit' his recommended bud~èl::;'He stated the reason is that this is an activity which Counties are not required to participate in, although Collier County does through secretarial and clerical assistance and monies to allow travel to meetings and training sessions. He stated his analysis is a lot of people are interested in agricultural, citrus in particular, and there wili be some duplication. He said the County Agricultural Extension , '.,:. :,. ¡:'. :·'·rf.

Mr. Dorrill stated that if the Collier Soil and Water District should get into this area, the County should create a special taxing district in the citrus related portion of the County, typically the Immokalee ðnd State Roðd 29 portion of tt'l<, :ùunty. Commissioner Glass stated that with~n one mile of the Courthouse there are major tomato and citrus fields. He stðted the County needs to be careful of water. He stated our citrus advisor in the Agricultural Department is primarily looking at the health of the trees. He stated we need to be very attentive to what we are doing to our groundwater supplies. He said a function of a technician who is specifically trained in irrigation management hydrology can provide service until such time as the district can be extended. He also stated that tomato and vegetable crops require a tremendous amount of water in the winter time. He stated there must be an education, ' program and someone to watch it.

Commissioner Goodnight stated that not only will the District be working with the farming and citrus, but also with. the horticultural . industry which is very big business in Collier County and uses a lot of water. She stated the Agricultural Research Center being built in Immoka1ee is strictly a research center and they will not be going out to individual farms. She stated her feeling that this new position will be very beneficial to Collier County. Mr. Jones stated they have also received supplemental funding from the SFWMD for particular demonstration t'lPo programs in order to disseminate the actual application of these practices. He said that although there are a number of different agencies, there are no dupli- cation of services at the field level. Commissioner Saunders stated that this is a fu~ction of. the Pollution Control Ordinance rather than by giving funds to the. District. Commissioner Glass stated that enforcement happens only after there is a problem or after the water is contaminated. When taking a consensus of the Board, Chairman Hasse and Commissioner Saunders were in favor of approving the budget as recom- mended by the County Manger.

In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Public Services Administrator O'Donnell stated that the decrease is attributed to less acreage, adding that as Coll~er County is growing and developing, there is less , { rural acreage.

She noted that at the time that they need a new pumper they will have a substantial down payment and very little to borrow. She noted that the millage rate is going down 24". Ochopee Fire Control District Budget Analyst Pike stated that Page C-46 represents the Ochopee Fire Control District budget, adding thðt ~nere is a revision to this budget and the reason is that Western Gateway Emergency Ambulance has asked that it be changed from a volunteer service to a paid service. She stated that it was originally presented a~ a special assessment '. fund and they were told that they could not do this and it was decided that it would be presented as an expanded request as part of the OChopee Fire Control District. She noted that with regards to the Ocho~ee' Fire Control budget, there Is a lO' increase which is tò addrêss' the current service increase of $16,100 for overtime to satisfy FLSA requirements.

I· ' : ) Ochopee Fire Control Advisory Boðr<Land explained that the Board tentatively adopted a 2 mill increase above and beyond what was submitted in the budget for the Western Gateway proposal. He stated A that the Advisory Board recommended a mill increase provided that the County come up with additional funds equivalent to the one mill increase. He noted that this equates to about $64,000. He noted that the original proposal was to fund foùr full time EMT's, an ambu- lance and some equipment. He indicated that based on discussions with the County Manager, the Board of County Commissioners should be cautious about using County funds for an operation that is only going to serve the OChopee Fire Control District ~:~a. Commissioner Goodnight stated that l8 ~non~hs ago when Western Gateway came before the Board it was because ther~ was between 45 minutes and one hour for response time by the EMS, adding that the Board of County Commissioners agreed to fl.lnd them so that they would do the volunteer work. She stated that what was happening is if 8~ ambulance had to go to Everglades, there was an ambulance being pulled from Golden Gate to sit at S.R. 951 and U.S. 41 to cover Golden Gate and Marco Island because the àmbulance in Marco was going to Everglades. She stated that the whole system was being closed down as far as response time. She reported that after all the calls have been tallied by Western Gateway, it t:!S been determined: that almost 50% of the calls that they are responding to are not from residents of the Eveçglades area.

She stated that she would recommend that the extra mill be taken out of the money that the . Federal Government pays the County in lieu-of-taxes. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mrs. Eva Weeks of Western Gateway stated that the ambulance service does bill but they can only charge for a first aid call which is $15.00, adding that they normally package up the person for the helicopter ~L the ground unit, and then they are transported. She stated that ~y being a volunteer system it is difficult to keep up with the book work and also to keep up with the collections. Assistant County Attorney W~igel stated that this proposal is to provide similar service as EMS is already providing county-wide, adding that in this particular area the response time is very slow and there is not a unit that is close to the area. He noted that the way Western Gateway wanted to handle this matter created legal problems as he felt that there would be double taxation involved. He noted that he feels that the way to handle this matter would be within the general fund area for EMS. He noted that this may require Western Gateway to enhance thei~ credentials to be consistent with the EMS service.

Mr. O'Donnell stated that the County units do respond but the closest one is Marco, Island and if they have their own unit, it helps t~e County out and is . a quicker response time. " EMS Director Greenfield stated that if a complète system is to be provided for the area, it will cost between $170,000 to $200,000 a year for personnel and'equipment for an ALS unit. He indicated that a BLS unit can operate for less money. He stated that what is being considered is 6 government employees, their benefit package and the equipment and supplies that it is going to take to keep them operating. He stated that there is an OChopee Fire Control rescue unit that is responding to every call 8]80, adding that the problem is not first response, it is the level of service ðnd transport capabili-, ties and the best that he "can do under ideal weatht:!r conditions during the day is about 18 to 25 minutes by air and 3S to 40 minutes by ground. Mrs. Weeks stated that $84,600 is for the four EMT' s, $l, 600 ~f.!I. for uniforms, and $42,000 is for a new ambulance. She stated that they spent about $2,000 on the old ambulance for a new motor which could possibly last another year so she would propose that they buy the ambulðnce themselves from the profits that they receive at their seafood festival.

She stated that the people of this district are willing to help pay for it and under those circumstances the County should help them if possible. Public Services Administrator O'Donnell stated that he sees two options if the Board wants to support this proposal: one would be to have them under the Ochopee Fire Control District and become County employees and the other option would be to contract with Western Gateway as non-county employees. Commissioner Glass stated that he would recommend that this be brought back at the wrap-up after staff can come up with the 'answers and the proper mechan~sm to handle thiA proposal.
