Planning/Zoning Dircctor McKim stated that this is a requcst for a
provisional use to allow for the expansion of the existing David
Lawrence Mental Health Center. She strted that lands to the north are
zoned Estates; lands adjacent to the ea are zoned Estates with a
provisional use for a church; lands immediately to the south, across
Golden Gate parkway, are zoned Estates; and lands adjacent to the west
are zoned Estates with a provisional use for the existing Mental
Health Center. She stated that the provisional use for the David
Lawrence Mental Health Center was approved in 1977 for all of Tract 43
and on August 27, 1985, the Board approved expansion of this facility
onto the west half of Tract 50. She noted that the petitioner is pro-
posing to expand onto the east half of Tract 50, and will include an
additional parking lot, drivcway and building addition. She stated
that vehicles using the driveway/parking facility will produce some
noise and headlight glare.and to mitigate possible impacts, staff
recommends the required setback areas remain in existing native vege-
tation to act as a visual and noise buffer except for what has to be
removed in the future to accommodate road/turn lane improvements on
Golden Gate Parkway. She stated that given the minor nature of the
proposed expansion, Staff is of the opinion that the requested use is
compatiblc with adjacent properties, adding that this use is also in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. She indicated that Staff and
all appropriate agencies reviewed this petition and have no objection
to its approval subject to the 3tipulations contained in the Executive

Summary dated January 13, 1987. She stated that the stipulations are
the standard EAC stipulations with a couple additional stipulations
addressing mitigation measures for the . ~moval of trecs without a trec
clearing permit; the WM^B standard recom....mdations; a stipulation
indicating that a limited number of access points will be approved to
what is existing now; the typical stipulation for artcrial level
street lighting at the entrance; final approval for the septic and
dl'"ainfie1d will be l'"equil'"ed by the Environmental Health Depal'"tmcnt;
and final site plan will be required at the time of approval of the
building permit. She ~ndicated that the cepe held their public
hearing and recommended approval subject to the stipulations, and with
one additional stipulation that ~o building additions or expansions
other than what i~,Bhown on the site plan be permitted, which causes
the need to delete the last sentence in Stipulation "pH. She stated
that two people spoke against the petition at the CCPC hearing and one
person representing the Golden Gate Taxpayers Association stated the
concerns regarding the effect upon roads in the surrounding area, the
effect upon drinking water in the area, the personal and property
safety, and the effect upon the property values in the area. She
noted that three people spoke in favor of the petition stating that
the use is needed; the proposed location is the logical place for the
expansion to occur; and the sewage disposal system is adequate and
safe. She reported that no correspondence has been received, but
during the CCPC hearing, the Chai,man received one telephone call

against the petition. She concluded b'/ stating that Staff recommends
approval of this petition subject to tl. CCPC's recommendations.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mrs. McKim ztated that a portion
of the site was cleared without"a land clearing permit which happened
quite a few months ago, addin~ that the NRMD and EAC required the
suggestcd mitigation mcasures of Item "f" and Item "g" in the stipula-
tions bccause of this clearing. She stated that NRMD feels that in
this case, the land clearing was accidental and they are willing to
replant the area, which seems to be the best way to resolve this
problem.
Planning/Zoning Director McKim stated that the original provi-
sional use has an existing administration building, an adult residen-
tial treatment center and counseling center, adding that the second
provisional use was approved for an adolescent residential center
which consisted of three buildings. She stated that the provisional
.> .
use that is being requested will include the proposed addition to the
adolescent residential centcr as well as additional parking.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mrs. McKim indicated that the
property to the east of the David Lawrence Center is a recent
purchase.
Commissioner Saunders questioned why three members of the CCPC
were opposed to the project? ::rs. McKim stated that it was due to the
concerns of the residents in the area.
Commissioner Hasse stated that he has received telephone calls
Page 5

..
January 13, 1987
from at least lO different people in opposition to this petition.
Commissioner Saunders stated that there was concern of the neigh-
bors regarding security and there was a discussion regarding the
possibility of fencing and questioned if this has been incorporated
into this petition, to which Mrs. McKir. stated that she has not spoken
with the petitioner on this matter, but there has been concern of the
residents regarding safety and the possibility of the residents of the
Mental Health Facility leaving that compound. She stated that this was
discussed at the Planning Commission but not a part of their recommen-
dation, adding that a fence could provide some relief regarding the
concerns of the resiùents.
Mr. Ron Meserve, Executive Director of the David Lawrence Mental
Health Center, stated that he is requesting approval for this provi-
, "
sional use, which includes the expansion of th~ parking lot and an on-
site access road for Banyon Pavilion which is the residential
treatment center for chemically dependent adolescents. He stated that
the site plan also anticipates the eventual expansion of the Banyon
Pavilion facility. He stated that the Board of Directors set the
policies that guide the operation of the center and these people
represent the interest of all citizens of the County by advocating for
the development of programs, services, and facilities which will
better meet the mental health needs of the entire community. He
stated that this center is well managed with high quality programs and
are monitored, reviewed, licensed and audited by various authorities,
Page 6

~COK lOD r~('L 555
January 13, 1987
adding that recently the center and programs were audited by the
Department of lIealth and Rehabilitative Services. He stated that in
their report, it was stated that the E~ker Act programs, the emergency
services program and the case managemeL' program are the best that
have been reviewcd anywhere in the State and the Center's program is
being used as a model for the development of advanced licensure stan-
dards for similar programs state-wide. He stated that some residents
feel that thcre is a security risk, adding that people that live near
the County jail, the hospital, or the research and counseling center
might have some of th~ same concerns. He stated that no matter where
these facilities are located, some people will always have concerns.
He noted that the David Lawrence Center and the Board must be con-
cerned about meeting the mental health needs of the entire community.
He stated that he feels that the location of this facility represents
.. -
a nearly ideal setting based on the need to provide a setting that
provides dignity for those that are served and based on the commitment
to develop services and facilities whiçh will be appropriately
accessible to the community. lie stated that thcy have an effective
relationship with all law enforcement personnel in the area so that if
staff fcels that additional assistance may bc nceded in thc best
interest of the patient, the staff or the community, officers are
called and many times no additional help is required, but the availa-
bility of this added assistance is an indication of the commitment of
the Mcntal Health Centcr ana the Law Enforcement Agencies to provide

January l3, 1987
the necessary service and community protection. He stated Lhat the
David Lawrence Center is a designated eceiving facility under the
Baker Act and pursuant to this statute, law enforcement officers and
oth¿rs are required to bring persons to the center for evaluation
and/or appropriate treatment if, in the opinion of that officer, the
individual is mentally ill to the point that he or she needs treatment
which is why law enforcement officers come to the Center on a regular
basis. He stated that the Center is not for the criminally insane,
adding that they arc prohibited by law from admitting residents at the
center that have felony or criminal charges for any physically violent
act and the Center cannot and will not retain anyone in the units who
cannot be effectively securcd and treated.
. "
He stated that it has been said that the s~ptic tanks at the
Center are polluting the drinking wells of persons that live in the
vicinity, adding that the Board of Directors of the Center and
Foundation have been ~ssured that there is no evidence that this is
true and according to the experts, the Center is in compliance with
all applicable regulations and standards and the septic tanks are
located ¿ar enough awñy from the nearest drinking well to prevent the
effluent from the septic tanks of having any adverse effects on these
drinking wells. He stated that he intends to connect to a public
sewer system as soon as onc is within reasonable proximity to permit
such a connection. He noted that they are committed to being respon-
sible stewards of the resources that are. entrusted to them, adding

there is currently one fire hydrant on site and there will be a second
one when the expansion is made. lie stated that the combination of the
pump and the swimming pool provide the water. lie stated that the pump
is diesel operated and it is self-starting.
Commissioner Hasse stated that thib "3cility has been added to a
few times and the people are concerned with a constant expansion and
erosion of the surrounding residential area. He questioned if
there is a way to establish that this is the limit of the expansion of
this facility in that area?
Mr. Meserve stated that once this expansion is done on the last
2.3 acres, which makes the 10 acre parcel that the Center owns, then
there will be no opportunity for additional expansion on that 10
acres. He stated thdt he has made the needs of the community very
. "
clear and the commitment of the Center and eventually, they will have
to expand to various parts of the community as the need requires it.
He stated that in the existing vicinity there are no plans for any
further expansion.
Commissioner Hasse stated that there is an acre and a quarter
beside the 10 acres and questioned what would stop the Center from
purchasing that property and further expanding, to which Mr. Meserve
stated that he could not commit the Board of Directors to anything,
adding that at this point, there are no plans for the purchase of that
property.
Commissioner Glass questioned if the Staff stipulations have been

reviewed, to which Mr. Meserve replied affirmatively.
Commissioner Glass referred to Stipulation Hr" of the Executive
Summary and Mr. Meserve indicated that to his understanding that is
not the current requirement, adding that the recommendation is that no
facilities are dev~loped other than those that are classified on the
site plan.
Planning/Zoning Director McKim sta~~d that the recommendation in
the staff report was deleted prior to t¡·, Planning Commission meeting
by staff, and it was issued in error.
Commissioner Glass stated that the people have becn worried about
the septic system and he wants to address the question directly,
stating thðt should any adverse impact upon potable water wells in the
vicinity of the facility b~ validated by an independent authority as
caused by the septic systems of David Lawrence, he would like to have
David Lawrence held responsible for providing an acceptable alter-
.. .
native water source including public water supply at the cost·of David
Lawrence, if deemed required by this Board. He questioned if Mr.
Meserve would be willing to accept this as a stipulation, to which Mr.
Reynolds of Wilson, Miller, Barton, SoIl' & Peek, Inc., stated that he
would suggest that Mr. Barton address this concern when he arrives,
adding that it is documented that there is no problem with the septic
system and they are :n compliance with all regulations and there
should not be any problems;
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, County Attorney Cuyler stated

that if Stipulation "r" is placed on the petitioner, they would not be
allowed to expand any of their existing buildings or have any other
type of expansion with regard to struct'lres on the provisional use
property.
Commissioner Pistor questioned how the children for the child care
center are selected, to which Mr. Meserve stated that this is a volun-
tary program and there is a waiting list primarily because persons who
are in the program are so delighted with it. He stated that the
program is accessible for ftnyone who chooses to apply, adding that
this program also off~rs parent education classes and training. He
stated that there is also an observation room wherc the parents can
come in and watch the child in the classroom environment as well as
having certified,teachers who work with the parents and help them
better deal with their children.
The following people spoke against this provisional use citing the
effect upon their property values; the lack of security at the Center;
the problems that could be created with the residential wells; per-
sonal and property safety problems: the increased traffic; the
increase i~ law enforcement that would be required; the wrong environ-
ment for pre-school children to be in; the wrong location for such a
facility; and the need for a package treatment plant for this [acili-

The following people spoke in favor f the provisional use indi-
cating the need for the expansion; the need in the community for the
numerous programs and services that are offered at the Center; the
fact that the Center was existing before the people moved into that
area; the fact that there is no indication according to the Property
Appraiscr that the propcrties in the area are decreasing in value; no
danger to residents of thc area; and the need for a pre-school
learning center to be able to make children healthy, both physically
and mentally, while they are young to avoid problems as they get older:

Mr. Bill Barton of Wilson, Miller,.Barton, Soll & Peek, Inc.,
stated that he is the engineer and plllnner for this project. lie
stated that with rcgûrós to the septic tank sewagc disposal on this
project, the State law indicates that any facility that is going to
generate more than 5,000 gallons per day of sewage is precluded from
utilizing septic tanks as a means of disposal without first appearing

before the State Board of Health and showing that use of the septic
tank systcm is feasiblc for thc project in qucstion. He stated that
it has becn analyz~d that a~ David Lawrence begins to grow, the 5,000
gallons pcr day would b~ exceeded, adding that there is also another
restriction that states that the facili~y cannot generate grcatcr than
1,500 gallons per acre per day. He stal d that if it does exceed that
quantity then it cannot seek a variance from the State Board of Health
for septic tank disposal, adding that he went to Orlando and met with
the State Board of Health to seek the variance and was granted a
variance to utilize septic tanks on this project. He stated that one
of the criteria that allowp.d the variance to occur was that 1,500
gallons pcr acre per Jay would not occur. He indicated that the engi-
neering estimate' of this project during various phases and at build-
out will generate approximately 1,200 gallons of sewage per d~y and the
actual usage as measured by water consumption in the water meter is
ranging in the area of 80% of the engineering estimate, so actual
usage on the site has been less than the estimate and he would expect
that trend to continue at build-out. He stated that the project will
probably produce approximately 1,000 gallons per acre per day at
build-out which is ab?ut 65-70% of the allowable by State law. He
stated that with regard to the septic tank disposal system, State law
requires that a septic tank cannot have a closer ryroximity than 75
feet from the nearest private potable well' and in this particular
facility the closcst septic tank to an off-site well is approximately

200 feet and there arc no wells on-site that are used [or potable
water, adding that this distance is about 2-1/2 timcs what is required
by State law. lie noted that a properl.... operating septic tank system
is a very good means of sewage treatmel.' and one can generally expect
60-70% rcmoval of cel1uable solids and constituents from this type of
a system before it gets to the drainfield. He stated that the addi-
tional treatment that occurs is in the drainfield and the surrounding
soils that accept the treated effluent, adding that with a standard
extended aeration package sewage plant, 90-95% removal range would be
expected. He noted that a package plant will remove a higher degree
but a septic tank is a very viable means of treatment for domestic
sewage. He noted that there has been talk about the potable water
that serves the David Lawrence Center, adding that State law demanùs
significantly higher stan~ards for a public water supply or source
than it does for private watcr source. He stated thatJthe Ccnter is
classified by the State of Florida as a public facility and the water
quality that is allowed to be used in that kind of facility has a
higher standard and degree than that in a~private system. He stated
that when David Lawrence first became a reality, there was an on-site
well and the water was tested and it was found that the dissolved
solids were too high to meet the public water drinking standards and
consequently, at that time, signs were posted throughout the facility
at all the taps that said that the water in the tap was not potable
and bottle water was provided. He stated that this occurred before

on-site sewage treatment plant permit was denied which is not true,
adding that he communicated with the FDER as to the desirability and
fcasibility of an on-site sewage treatment plant on this location and
FDER preferred not to put one there ~nd wrote a letter stating that.
He stated that he is convinced, howev~r, that in the event it was
found that pollution was occurring in ¡is monitor well and he went
back to FDER, they would be allowed to put a sewage treatment facility
on the site but continue to use a drainfield system that is similar
to what is on the site at the present time.

Mr. Barton stated that he lives three blocks from the Naples
Community Hospital w~ich has a 20-bed psychiatric unit, and he has no
problems and never has had a problem. He stated that with regards to
comments made about children on drugs and alcohol that go through
these programs and do not come out cured, this is inaccurate as th0se
children that enter those programs voluntarily have a ~uccess rate of
about 60-70%. He noted that the percentage of runaways from voluntary
entry programs is only about 5% and they leave the neighborhood as
fast as possible.
Commissioner Saunders stated that people have said that this faci-
lity creates a heavy burden on the taxpayers in the sense that there
is added police protection, but if this type of facility was not
available and there were people that needed this facility, there would
still be the same demands on the taxpayers or greater. He noted that

the major issue is that this facility is needed and it has to be
somewhere, adding that as long as the facility is existing and an
expansion is need~d, the existing location is the appropriate place
for it.
Deputy Chief Barnett, Sheriff's DP: 'rtment, stated that they took
a position that this facility is needed an¿ the police rcports that
sho~ the times that somcone from the Sheriff's Department has gone to
the facility is simply to assist, adding that there has been no indi-
cation that the David Lawrcnce .Mental Health Center has held any
violent criminally insanc people at the facility. He stated that they
are prohibited by law to do this, noting that the Sheriff's Department
has taken people there for treatment but remain with those people
. "
while they are ther~. He stated that prior to. this facility being
there, the patients had to be transported to Lee County or to private
institutions which involved deputies being on the road transporting
the patients. He stated that the Sheriff's Departmen~ encourages the
Mental Health Center to call them prior to anything getting out of
hand. He indicated that when they are called, they mostly stand by
while a patient is being treated that may have threateQed to do
something. He stateú that as far as escaping, it is difficult to
escape from a place that you are not locked into to begin with, adding
that people leave the facility and the She~iff's Department is
notified when these people leave the facility. He stated that the
people that are brought into this faciliry come from thi~ community,

and they still encourage the Mental Health Center to call them as a
preventative measure.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that ~he has reviewed this matter
and what is being asked is for a buildL J addition and a parking lot.
She stated th~t the building that is going to be built will have to
rely on the other buildings that exist for support and this is only
going to have 24 beds in it, She stated that she can understand some
of the thoughts of the people that live in the neighborhood, but this
facility is needed.
Commissioner Glos3 stated that he feels Mr. Barton's suggestion of
the te:>t wells is a possible solution and he would like to recommend
that several test wells be placed around the property and that they be
tested quarterly on a minimum basis and prior to granting any building
addition permits, an in-depth analysis be done from the data collected
from the test wells to determine if any problem is devo£oping or
exists and if there is such a problem, a central sewer or package
plant be required. He stated that this would be based on: 1) if the
test wells indicate a problem that is developing prior to any con-
sideration or construction; 2) if the analysis of the data indicates
a problem will exist with the additional building and sewer capacity
requirements.
Commissioner Hasse questioned the time scheduling, to ~hich
Commissioner Glass stated that the test wells would have to be
installed immediately, and ther" should be 6 months of indications of

current data to find out if there is a problem existing or developing.
Commissioner Hasse questioned if this would apply to the parking
area as well, to which Commissioner Glass stated that the parking area
does not impact on the water systcm cxccpt for the watcr management,
but the additional building mayor may not impact, but the test wells
will provide that data.
Commissioner Glass moved, seconded 1 commissioner Saunders and
carried unanim~usly, that Resolution 87-10 re Petition PU-86-18C,
Foundation of Mental Health, Inc. be adopted subject to the stipula-
tions ot CCPC a~d that there be monitoring wells placed around the
property appropriately and tested for 6 months; no building permit for
additional buildings until there is an analysis of those test wells;
. ,.
it required, no permit will be issued it the test wells indicate that
a central sewer or package plant is necessary; and if test wells indi-
cate a problem prior to building, then appropriate action be taken to
alleviate the situation either through oentral sewer or a package
plant.

Item 12A
Cou~rY MANAGER ASKED TO CONSIDER RESIG~ING WITH SEVERANCE PAY AND
COUNTY ATTORNEY DIRECTED TO PREPARE AM} 'DMENT TO ORD. 84-44
Attorney Edward Foreman, representing County Manager Donald Lusk,
stated that he has a point of order noting that in 1984, the Board
passed Ordinancc 8~-4~ which ßet out three means that a County
Managcr could depart this County and those three were that he would
resign with 60 day notice; that there could be a resolution placed on
the agenda requiring 3/5th~ ,"ote indicating that he could be removed
for cause or that a resolution could be placed on the agenda
removing him without cause by a 4/5ths vote. He stated that the
agenda for this date says discussion of County Manager pcr the 45 day
agreement, adding that this is not one of the means or the due process
that is afforded Mr. Lusk under the unanimously passed Ordinance 84-44
which is incorporated in and made a part of Mr. Lusk's employment
agreement. He stated that he is suggesting that by dißcussing this
matter, the procedure of the ordinance is not being followed and the
ordinance is being vi~lated and he would request that if there is a
resolution that it be placed on the agenda. He stated that the humi-
liation of Mr. Lusk by public discussion was not one of the means that
was unanimously passed as a vehicle to attempt to either secure his
resignation or to dismiss him. He stated that if there is no resolu-
tion, this discussion is uncalled for and in fact, is not mandated by
nor is it contemplated by the unanimously passed ordinance. He stated
Page n

that he would suggest that this ordinance was passed to depoliticize the
process involving the County Manager and that the discussion here is
violative of the ordinance, and a proc(~s is being repoliticized that
was decided to be dp.politicized. He st<'cd that he has looked over
Mr. Lusk's evaluations which have all been excellent or excellent plus
with the exception of the present Chairman who put him in the next to
the highest cat~gory in his last evaluation which occurred since the
allegaticns leveled by Mrs. Mullins. He stated that he has also exa-
mined the study that was done by the University of South Florida for
$17,000 which indicat0s that Mr. Lusk is a fine manager. He stated
that if this is discussed and the procedures of the Ordinance are not
followed, this is violating the Ordinance and also opening up the
Commission to S0~~ liability because Mr. Lusk's due process is being
violated which was guaranteed to him in this Ordinance and which is
made a part of his employment contract, both of which were approved by
Commissioner Saunders at the time that he was the County Attorney. He
stated that he is asking that this item be removed and that there be
no discussion of this item unless there is a resolution.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the point of order is well
taken but it is premature, adding that he has no intention of
violating any due process rights or civil rights that the Manager has
and he intends to comply with the provisions of Ordinance e4-44 and the
employment contract which incorporates that as part of his employment
arrangement. He stated that he ,lOuld lik.e to continue on with this

discussion with the permission of the Board. He stated that there has
been a lot of discussion about the report from the Center for Public
Affairs.
Mr. For~man questioned the County Attorney as to whether he feels
that Commissioner Saundcrs is subjecting himself to liability by
bringing this matter b~fore the Board of County Commissioners in a
matter not contemplated by Ordinance P -44 and the employment
contract?
County Attorney Cuyler stated that there is nothing
in the Ordinance that precludes a discussion of how procedures will
take place or the discussions in the Ordinance and there is no move
this date to violate any of those rights or procedures.
Mr. Foreman questioned what the 45 day agreement is, to which
Commissioner Saunders stateG that it is really not an agreement,
adding that this item was brought up on Novembcr 18, 1986, for
discussion and at that time, a couple Commissioners did not want to
discuss the situation involving the County Manager and"they asked for
45 days to evaluate the situation.
Mr. Foreman stated that he feels ~hat the way this is written it
fails to notify the public or anyone els~ as to what is being done
here today, including himself and Mr. tusk.
Commissioner Saunðers stated that he. understands the position of
Mr. Foreman and if tile rights of Mr. Lusk are violated, then there is
a remedy, but he has no intention of violating his rights and he feels
that what is going to be prescnted this date is not an attcmpt to

violate anyone's rights.
Mr. Foreman 3tated that his position i3 that by merely bringing it
up which is not contemplated in the ordinance unless it is brought up
by placing a resolution on the agenda, the ordinance has been violated
and Mr. Lusk' civil rights.
Commissioner Saunders stated that with regards to the report from
the University of South Florida, he feels that there has been a cer-
tain amount of misinformation concerning what this report says. He
indicated that it has been stated that this is a report that says that
the Manager is a fine manager and he does not feel that the report
indicates that at all. He stated that on Page 1 of the report it
indicates that there are four problem areas; heavy and uneven work
. "
loads; inadequate communication within and between units; limited, if
not inadequate rewards/incentives for doing one's work; and managcm~nt
practices which may foster lack of trust and confidence in top mana-
gers, including the County Manager. He stated that this is a far cry
from things that have been in the newspaper concerning the report. He
referred to Page 15 of the report indicating that there have been
flip-flops in the organization over very short periods of time; Page l6
refers to management being more concerned with formal hierarchy than
with getting the right people together to do the job; and with the
majority of people, except top management, complaining of the
excessive red tape and rules.

Commissioner Saunders referred to 1ge l7 of the report indicating
that the survey data shows that many employees agree that top manage-
ment often go around the superior to get things done and only 43.7% of
persons in the survey agreed that top management does an adequate job
of communicating with departments; Page 29 referred to the rela-
tionship between the County Manager and the Constitutional Officers,
noting that the answers vóried considerably; Page 30 referred to com-
munications with the Manager and the Staff which is one area that is
in need of considerable repair; Page 31 referred to the decision style
and personality of the County Manager, noting that it states that he
is a strong willcd person and as long as everyone agrees with him,
everything is fine; Page 33 of the report indicates that a large
majority of employees do not feel that they are given adequate reward
or recognition for doing ~ good job; Page 35 deals with the evaluation
of employees, which indicates that some employees feel.>that the eva-
luation form is unwioldy, the system is too rigid, the difference bet-
ween ratirlgs do not discriminate adequately, and the County Managcr
has made the system more difficult by placing a 50% ceiling on the
number of employees eligible to receive excellent ratings. He stated
that Page 36 of the report refers to the limited and uneven oppor-
tunity for employees to strengthen their work skills in knowledge
through training and education; Page 40-4l shows that the survey
results reported in Part I indicate that there may be communication
problems in Collier County government which needs to be corrected;
Page 25
.,...._.",._.;"",...'.~",.....".."..<.,'''"'-~,.>.".-"-...._--""

January 13, 1907
Page 43 refers to the need for improved communication of all units
under the County Manager, but that the underlying problem is not as
serious as the survey data may suggest, but also that this statement
should not be interpreted to mean that there are no serious com-
munication problems within county government; Pðge 47 deals with the
question of communication with the Boa,1 which indicates that the
Board should not rcceivc information frl .1 the devclopers until Staff
has had an op~ortunity to present their recommendations to the Board.
County Manager Lusk stated that this is a problem with the
Commission and not the Manager, adding that there have been statements
that indicate that peoplc do not get awarded enough and the Board is
the one that sets the salaries. He stated that hi, problems are the
ones that are supposeJ to be disc~ssed at this point.
Commissioner Saunders stated that Page 40 indicates that the
County Manager is inconsistent in going through channels and goes to
whoever he wants when he needs something; Page 49 refers to the
walking through of permits.
Mr. Foreman stated that these remarks have been taken out of con-
text, noting that on Page 48 it states that most department directors
and supervisors feel the County Manager practices what he preaches,
namely he does not go to their subordinates without their knowledge
and approv~l. He stated that it continues with a large minority of
approximately 40% expressed contrary sentiments, and among the more
vocal the following statements were made, which he indicated were

taken entirely out of context. He stated that if it is necessary, he
will rcad the othcr 55 pages that are favorablc to Mr. Lusk. He
stated that there should be some basic fairness in reading them and
not out of context.
Commissioner Saunders stated that I. would suggest to the media
and to the public that this report be read carefully as there are a
lot of comments concerning how wonderful the repurt is and if it is
rcad fairly, n(') one should come out with the impression that the
report is completely favorable. He stated that his point of this
whole situation is to talk about a procedure that he is going to
suggest to deal with a situation involving the County Management that
is untenable. He stated that on November 18, 1986, he suggested to
the Board of County Commissioners that if the Manager had lost the
confidence of the Board that perhaps an arrangement could be made,
whereby the Manager would,resign without going through the formal pro-
cedure of fOllowing Ordinance 84-44. ~.
Commissioner Sa~nders moved, seconded by Commissioner Glass, that
the Board ask the County Manager because of the situation that exists
this date, that he consider resigninq with severance pay as provided
in his contract.
Mr. Foreman stated that the Board is violating their own ordi-
nance, adding that a resignation is a vOluntary relinquishment with 60
days notice under his contract and under the Ordinance that was passed
and by asking him to resign, he is being humiliated. He stated that

if someone wants to give a resignation, they will voluntarily do so
and he is instructing Mr. Lusk to remain mute on that subject and not
to answer that question. He stated that under the contract and the
Ordinance that was drawn up by Commissioner Saunders as the former
County Attorney, he knows that this re:"ignation has to be vOluntary
and that 60 days notice has to be given
Upon call tor the question, the motion carried 3/2, (Commissioners
Goodnight and Pistor opposed).
Commissioner Saunders stated that he is suggesting that two dif-
ferent parallel courses be followed which are consistent with
Ordinance 84-44, adding that he has instructed the County Attorney to
prepare a resolution of intent to amend Ordinance 84-44 that will be
. "
presented to the Board on January 20, 1987, and he has also instructed
the County Attorney to prepare a resolution of intent to dismiss the
County Manager, without cause, to be considered by the Board at the
earliest date possible pursuant to Ordinance 84-44. He stated that he
is suggesting an amendment to the County Manager ordinance for several
reasons, adding that a memo was distributed that explains the hiring
and firing procedure of the County Manager. He noted that the
employment contract incorporated Ordinance 84-44 as same may be
amended or replaced, adding that in the event that the Board amends
that ordinance, then it will be that amendment that will be part of
the employment contract. He stated that the procedure contained in
the ordinance is absurd in that it requires a 4/5ths vote to replace
eoox 100 n'.! 586

thc County Manager and it only requires a 3/5ths vote to hire the
County Manager. He stated that he is 'vorking on a survey of cOIJnties
around the State and there is o_nly one '.her County that rcquires a
super majority vote to dismiss the County Manager and that one county
provides that it be brought uþ the first time and if there is not a
4/5ths vote, it can be brought up the fOllowing week and the Manager
can be rcplaced on a 3/5ths vote, but the requiremcnts contained in
that ordinance are cumbersome and expensive.
Mr. Foreman stated that since Mr. Saundcrs prepared Ordinance
84-44, he would like to know if he pointed out to the Commission how
cumbersome and bad this ordinance was and also questioned why he
signed off on it if the ordinance was that bad, to which Mr. Saunders
stated that it is an embarrassment to have his signature on that ordi-
nance, adding that the Board, in 1984, made it clear what they wanted
which is lcgally sufficient, whether it is wise or no~'is not the
position of the County Attorney to determine.
Mr. Foreman questioned if Mr. Saunders agrees that it takes 4/5ths
of the Board to change the ordinance, to.'·which Mr. Saunders stated
that he will agree that the Ordinance says it takes a 4/5ths require-
ment, but there is some question as to whether that is legally
binding.
Mr. Forcman stated that then an ordinance may have been drawn up
that was illegal, to which Comm'ssioner Saunders stated that this is a
possibility.

Commissioner Saunders stated that the other procedure that he will
be looking into is to draft a resolution to dismiss the Manager for
cause, which he will be doing over the next four to five wceks. He
stated that if the other Commissioners feel that therc is sufficient
cause to dismiss the County Manager on a 3/5ths vote pursuant to
Ordinance 8~-~~, that they consult the County Attorney to be sure that
any resolutions that ar0 submitted are consistent with that Ordinance.
Mr. Foreman stated that since Mr. P ~nders drew up this ordinance
at the time he was County Attorney, maybe he could tell everyone the
guid~lines of what cause is, to which County Attorney Cuyler stated
that he feels that Mr. Foreman is out of order with that question and
any discussion of the legal requirements or the lcgal procedures under
the Ordinance will have to come from his office unless Mr. Saunders
,..
wants to address those items. Commissioner Saunders stated that he
will be relying on counsel. County Attorney Cuyler stated that when
this item is brought up for discussion, he will be happy to discuss
what constitutes cause.
County Manager Lusk stated that he has been a professional manager
for 10 years and been in government for 15 years, adding that in the
last 10 years, this County has hired 3 professional managers and two
of them have been fired and in the process with the third one. He
stated that this Commission should take a look at whether they want
professional government or some other type ~f government. He stated
that the real issue is what type of government is wanted, does the

COUNTY MANAGER' S ATTORNEY, ED~ARD FOREl "'N, TO SUBMIT MONTHLY DILLS OF
EXPENSES INCURRED TO THIS POINT
Commissioner Glass stated that the Commission approved legal fees
for the County Nanager's attorney and there has been some discussion
regarding billing and the Commission's ultimate responsibility. He
stated that he would like to clarify this matter and what procedure
will be followed with regards to the bills. He stated that the Board
has guaranteed that the County Manager's attorney will be paid if
there is no criminal action with regards to the State Attorney's
investigation.
County Manager Lusk stated that the guidelines that were origi-
nally set up have been followed and those were that at the end'of the
investigation, he would be reimbursed for the money he spent and that
.> .
investigation has not been completed Yßt.
Mr. Foreman stated that he has no problem in keeping the
Commission apprised on a monthly or a bi-monthly basis as to the
amount that has been spent on behalf of Mr. Lusk, adding that he would
have an objection at this time in giving his time sheets for the
actual tasks that have úeen performed as this is not fair to Mr. Lusk.
He stated that at the end of the investigation, he will provide all

the necessary data. He stated that to date, the bill is around
$5,000.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that he docs not have any problem
with the actual line item description of what was done because the
County is not obligated to pay until ti~ actual data is seen. He
stated that it would satisfy his needs \ .th regards to monitoring this
if he would g~t a monthly or six week billing.
Mr. Foreman stated that he has no problem with sending in a state-
ment indicating what is owed and when this investigation is completed,
he will send the itemized listing along with a final bill.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that this will meet his needs in
reporting to the BoarJ.
Commissioner'~lass stated that this would be acceptable, adding
that he thinks that this matter with the state Þttorney's office will
be resolved by the first week in February.

He noted there will bc an ad¿~d cost of .emoving and
replacing the parking area a~ installing water and sewer.
3. Relocate the pumps immediately to the northwest of the
existing location on the south side of the rctention lake.
He noted that this site will need fill and maybe a retaining
wall, however, it is currently equipped with water and sewer.
4. Within the northwest pa.king area, adjacent to the Church.
He added again that this location has the addcd cost of
removing and .eplacing the parking area and installing water
and sewer.
5. North building site and installation could be coordinated
with constr~ction of the Health Services Building. He stated
this presents the same problems as No.4.
6. Purchase a~ditional property of 200' x 130'. He stated that
this alternative would involve not only water and sewer but
also construction of a road.
7. Purchase service station on U.S. 41. He stated that while
everything is already existing on this alternative, the
purchase price is quite expensive.
County Manager Lusk stated that a letter had been received from
the owner of the service station stating the property is for sale, and
the purchase price is $850,000.
In answer to Chai.man Hasse, Public Works Administ.atcr Archibald
stated Alternative #3, while it is very close to the new warehouse,
will involve costs for a survey, fill, retaining wall, and a D.E.R.
permit.
In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mr. Archibald stated that
the Courthouse Complex ~Iill need more water retention in the future.
He noted that this is addressed in the County's Master Plan.

ginal agreement has an anticipated co~ letion date of March, 1987.
Mr. Archibald reported that the dev~loper has been unable to
complete his permitting at this time and it is possible that they will
not be complete until April, 1987, therefore requiring a change to the
completion dates in the Agreement.
Mr. Archibald stated the necessity to enter into an agreemcnt with
the developer to define the responsibilities of the County and the
Developer in fulfilling the objective and requirements stipulated in
. ,-
the agreement between the County and the Florida Department of
Commercc. He noted that the grant funds arc tied to the dcveloper
constructing a manufacturing facility. In answcr to Commissioner
Glass, Mr. Archibald stated the property is located approximately 4
miles east of 95l very close to the Xrehling Concrete Plant.
Commissioner Pistor stated that he knows the developer quite well
and is certain that he is reliable enough to live up to all
