ORDINANCE '86-72 CREATING THE SAÐAL PALM ROAD EXTENSION MUNICIPAL
SERVICB TAXING AND BENEFIT UNIT - ADOPTED
October 28, 1986
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
October 8, 1986, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was üpened to consider the Sabal Palm Road
Extension Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit.
Public Works Administrator Archibald stated that the purpose of
the Municipãl Service Taxing and Benefit Unit proposed by this ordi-
nance is to do provide funds for a preliminary engineering study on
the feasibility of a six-mile extension of Sabal Palm Road to
Golden Gate Estates. He s~id that the proposcd district boundaries,
outlined in the ordinance, ale in accordance with a petition that was
submitted to the Board on April 8, 1986, by property owners to under-
take a preliminary design of th~ roadway so at some future point con-
sideration can be given for construction.
He added that the
residents have expressed a willingness to pay for the preliminary
design and 22 letters have bcen received in support of the project
and 2 letters of objection. If the ordinance is approved, he added,
it will allow not only for the initial design of a proposed road,
which would include the environmental concerns, but also develop a
roadway that will meet the concerns of the environmentalists and the
regulatory agencies th~t would approve the project at some future
date.
Commissioner Pistor asked if as a result of the study the recom-

mendation is not to build the road, would the $75,000 still be
collected? Mr. Archibald replied "Yes," that the ordinance will
create a taxing district ard in 1987-88 the millage will be levied to
collect revenues to undert~ke the de3ign; the preliminary design will
be funded in 1987-88 but t~e project may proceed with a portion of the
design in the current year if the project is feasible and the money
can be borrowed in advance. Commissioner Pistor asked if it would be
better to borrow the mOI'ey and put the proper amount on the tax bill
next year to pay for the rL~ù? Mr. Archibald stated that this project
is very involved because of the environmental concerns; the design
alone will take 9 months tc co:nplete and if it gets underway imme-
diately it will not be com~lete~ in the current year and the total
cost or the final feasibility of the project will not be known until
many months from now.
Commissioner Pistor stated that there will be objections from
State agencies. Mr. Archibald stated that the roadway might provide a
very important connection, which would mitigate the I-75 project where
access will be cut off for many property owners in the Golden Gate
Estates from Alligator Alley. Commissioner Pistor asked if the road
will connect with other roads off Everglades Boulevard? Mr. Archibald
stated that it will connect with 78th Avenue which connects with
Miller Boulevard; the State is proposing to build an overpass over
Everglades Boulevard in conjunction with I-75, 50 connecting the road
to 951 will provide access to many platted portions of Golden Gate

Estates.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that the County should proceed with
the study because a new Gov'~rnor may not want to go along with a study
by the State and it can ~~ modified if the State decides what they are
going to do.
The following people sp)k~ in favor of the preliminary study:
Jim McTd3ue
Ellwood -"¡itt
George Keller
Joe Tow,1send
Mr. Ellwood Witt asked if the assessment will be on a benefit basis
or on acreage? Assistant County Manager Dorrill replied that that
decision will not be made until the completion of the engineering
report. Mr. Witt asked if the project is found to be feasible, do the
people have a chance for objections? Commissioner Pistor answered
aff irmati vely.
Clerk Giles stated that the $75,000 would be paid base~ on the
value of property.
TapG f2
The following people spoke against the study, claiming they will
not derive any benefit frow the proposed road:
Harry J. Graham
William Anthony
After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Archibald stated that the people
who benefit pay an assessment relative to that benefit, and that
the feasibility of building the road will go through the process

of public hearing and the property owr.ers will be notified. He added
that during the design phase one of the critical items will be how all

REQUEST FOR REFUND OF SEWEF: SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES, NAPLES R. V.
RESORT - DENIED
Utilities Administrator Crandall stated that Staff has been
requested by Naples R. V. fark to have their sewer system development
charges refunded, claiming that the system will not be constructed in
the 10 years outlined in tte Master Plan. He indicated that Napl~s R.
V. Park was built in phases and paid in phases; the first payment was
September 1984 and the last payment was June 1985. He noted that the
sewer system development crarges amount to $125,455.
Mr. Crandall pointed o~t that it has been determined that ser-
vice to that area is going to be in Phase II, not direct to them but
in the form of a major lift station which will allow for all the
collection systems that arE within a reasonôble distance. He added
that it has been detcrmineè that if the lift station is within a mile
of a service, that the service can be provided. Construction is sche-
duled to be complcted by 1993 for phase II so it falls well within the
10 year period outlined in the Master Plan, he said. He stated that
it is Staff'~ recommendaticn that the request be denied.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that the petitioner should be
assured that the County will meet its deadlines.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Crandall stated that the
cost is going to be shared whcn evcryone is finally served.
Assistant County Attorney Anderson stated that there was an
agreement entcred into bet~een the County and the petitioner in August,
1984, which provides that the owners shall agree to pay all applicable
Page 12

October 28/ 1986
system development charges at the time building permits are required
pursuant to appropriate County and District ordinances and regulations
effective at the time of r(~questing the permits. He added that in the
zoning Ordinance it states that applicable County ordinances relative
to water and sewer system development charges shall be complied with.
Attorney Jim Siesky, repre~enting the petitioner, st~ted that the
Board of County Commissionnrs passed an ordinance in September that
stated that if there is no construction contemplated by 1997 fees
would be refunded, however, although the County anticipates that there
might be a connection by 1997, if there is none, the money stays in
the County's account and i3 not returned which is not fair to the
petitioner. He added that the first payment was made in September,
1984/ and if the connection is not made by December 31, 1997, that
would be a period of 13 yedrs or more. He noted that if the service
is provided by 1993, the p.~titioner's funds would have been on deposit
in the County's account gaining interest for a period of over 7 years.
He stated that it is fair 3nd equitable under the Ordinance that the
funds be returned, and in the event that service is provided to the
area, the pet~tioner would be compelled to connect to the system.
In answer to Commissio~er Hasse, Mr. Siesky stated that if the
money WJS refunded, at the time the petitioner connected to the system
he would pay the impact fe~s then in effect. Attorney Anderson said
that there is a refund pro:edure in the Ordinance that if service is
not provided by December 31, 1997, there are 90 days after that date
&OOK 098 Pt~: 533

..... .... "'II; ....

October 28, 1986
to apply for a refund. Commissioner Hasse asked if that included the
interest? Attorney Andcrson replied that he cannot concede that the
interest will be included.
Mr. Jim Kingsberry, the petitioner, stated that he feels that his
request is reasonable, and at the time that he sat through the
Comprehensive Plan, the urban development ðrea was one mile east of
951. He said that when the impact ordinance was passed he had
purchased the property which was outside the urban area. He noted
that after receiving the PUD and getting into the formal construction,
the impact fees were paid to be able to obtain permits and proceed
with the project. He added that they have built a sewer plant and
drainfield. He indicatcd that the interest ov~r 10 years has more
than doubled the fee for the sewer. He asked if, when a lin~ is
extended in 1993, since all fees would have been paid, would he be
3sked to pay additional fees? Mr. Crandall answered negatively.
Commissioner Hasse asked if the line does not go out by 1997, will
the petitioner be reimbursed oolhatever he has paid in the interim?
Attorney Anderson replied that the petitioner would have to apply for
a refund, which would come before the Board for approval or denial.
Mr. Crandall mentioned that the present refund policy is an improve-
ment over the old one.
Commissioner Holland asked what the Cbunty's obligation would be
regarding interest when applications are made for refund? Attorney
Anderson stated that he would not concede that at this point, but
Page 14
-

..
..
..
October 28, 1986
the court might order the County to do so. Commissioner Holland asked
where the money would come trom if interest had to be paid? Attorney
Anderson replied that it would come from the interest which is in an
account. Clerk Giles stated that there is no method to segregate
system development fees that are not going to be used, the presumption
1S that all money will be used for the development of the system and
It is booked as revenue, so ~n' 1997 he does not know if there will be
money set aside for reiunds.
After a lengthy diGcussion, Commissisoner Voss asked if the
Ordinance says that refunds Cdn be applied for in 1997 and not today?
Attorney Anderson stated that if people are not going to be serviced
under any of the first 3 phases of the Plan, and have paid, they can
IIpply today.
Commissioner Voss stated that under the O:dinance the Board cannot
authorize the refund at this point, even though he is sympathetic to
the petitioner's financial situation, adding that there are two alter-
natives, one is to change t~e ordinance and two is to cut the "bump"
off and exclude the petitiorer forever, both of which are time con-
suming. Mr. Siesky said thét there is no indication of service to the
properly by 1997. Mr. Crandall stated that the intention is to pro-
vide the service because urban development is going to occur; the
phases are planned to have service by 1993, and to have a system in
closer than a mile by 1997.
Mr. Siesky askej if the County has adopted any plan whatsoever,
aDaK 098 PAjt 535
Page 15
~OOK 098 P~~·t 536
October 28, 1986
other than the what is shown on the map, for collection systems beyond
the terminus? Mr. Crandal' replied that it would require a future
review by the Board for the collection systems.
commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight, that
the request for refund of Sower System Development Charges to Naples
ij. V. Resort, be denied.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that if the Board begins to refund
im~act fees, the regional plans for water and sewer cannot be
accomplished, and she belie~es the process should not be started.
Commissioner Holland asked how many other fces the County has
collected where the County faces the possibility of making refunds?
Mr. Crandall stated that research was done and there is a potential
half million dollars worth of refunds that may be requested.
Commissioner Holland stated that he is not in favor of keeping the
petitioner's money Bnd face the possibility of refunding not only
$125,000 but much mure.
Commissioner Hasse s~~~ej he is concerned about the interest over
the period of time the County will have the money. Commissioner
Pistor stated that the question of the interest will have to be
decide¿ at the time of the refund.
Commissioner Pistor asked how soon the final plans will be
available? Mr. Crandall replied that for this partiçular phase, they
will not be ready untiJ 1991 or 1992 because construction is not anti-
cipated until 1993.

Item 9D2
AUTHORIZATION GRANTED TO DRAW $7,630,000 FROM CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
FUNDS PLUS ISSUANCE COSTS TO PROCEED WITH VARIOUS UTILITIES PROJECTS
Utilities A~ministralor:randall stated that on August 6, 1986,
ne E~~rd authorized the issuance of $76,600,000 of Capital
i:;"~:ovement Program Revenue Bonds, Series 1986, adding that utilities
projects that are currently underway or that have been authorized for
de:sign need initial funding and he is requesting that the Board
alJthorize the bond pool draw of $7,63C,000 plus issuance costs from
this bond issue. He noted thet he is asking $3,500,000 for the
"egional Water Treatment Plar,t Expansion; $750,000 for the Golden Gate
W~llfield Expansion; $400,00(1 for the North Naples Water Transmission
M~in; $1,290,000 to payoff the Lely Wastewater System; and $1,690,000
for the South County Regiona:_ Wastewater facilities. He indicated
that the design of the Regional Water Treatment Plant Expansion and
the Golden Gate Wellfield Expansion is nearly complete with construc-
tion to start soon; a design engineer has been selected for the North
Naples Water Transmission Mðln and negotiations for a contract are
current~y underway; and authorization has been granted to proceed with
the design report phase for the complete design of the South County
Regional Wastewater facilities, but monies are not available to
complete that design without a draw from the bond pool.
He reported
~oaK 098 P:;'; 537
Page 17
TlOOI( 098 w;. 538
October 28, 1986
that the projects relating to the South County Regional Wastewater
facilities were not part of the recent rate adjustments and will,
therefore, impact the 1987/98 budget and result in a rate adjustment
at that time.
Financial Adviser Dave Fischer $tated that the way the issue was
~esigned, it required Board approval to be drawn down. He stated
t.:~t he is ready to draw down the pool and the money would be
available within 60 days, and he will come back with the best
fJ.nancing.
Clerk Giles questioned when the money is drawn down if it has to
be used within 60 days and also questioned Nhat the issuance costs
would be? Mr. Fischer indicated that this new money can be arbitraged
for 3 years.
Mr. Fischer indicated that if this money is kept in a variable
rate, there is very little issuance cost involved as it has already
been taken care of, but if it goes to a fixed rate, the investment
banker would have a fee and there would be additional issuance costs.
He stated that this would not be determined until December or January.
commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and
carried unanimously, that authorization be granted to draw $7,630,000
from capital Construction Funds, plus issuance costs, to proceed with
various utilities projects.

October 28, 19J5
Commissioner Pistor indicated that he had asked Mr. Fischer to
give an explanation on refurding and financing of refunding.
Mr. Dave Fischer, financ.l.Ü Adviser, stated that Commissioner
Pistor asked him to go over refunding a.ld '¡OH . hey get to be larger
than the bond issues that a~e actually bein~ refunded. He stated that
cher~ was also a question r'~garding insurance. He presented a booklet
to che Commissj)O regarding various bon <'I issues in Collier County.
He referred to an overhead ·~h3rt indicating in the last two years, the
Board has had the most effective financing in the State of Florida.
HI~ noted that the bond issu~ that was done in August was a good issue,
tnd the week before Collier County did their bond issue, Lee County
did one, but Collier County did a lot better. He indicated that if
th~ same costs were applied to Collier County as Lee County, it would
h~ve cost Collier County ap¿roximately $329,000 more. He stated that
thIs same example could be ~sed in all issues that were done over the
last two years. He noted t~at in 1982 management fees were around $3
and $4 and are now down to 8.75, as well as tr.e printing of the Offi-
cial Statement. He noted that computer costs have gone to zero.
Mr. Fischer referred to the $31,375,000 bond issue that was done
1n August, adding that the old issue was $29,230,000, adding that
there was a difference of $"7IO,QOO more on the new bonds than the
bonds that were refunded. lIe sta'~ed that" from the issue, underwriter
expenses are subtrac~ed, whlch was $450,000; issuance costs, which
were $117,000; and discount of a $173,000; which makes the total cost

of issuance $740,000. He stated that when the costs are applied the
rates ore reduced and the gross savings are over $3 million and pre-
sent values savings are $1., ~illion. He slated that when an old
issue is rl3funded, the Coun t" pays a lot more for the new issue to get
it accomplished, but the net result is whð~ i~ will do over the life
L: the issue, which i~ to S3ve'a lot of m~n~y.
Mr. Fischer stated that people have been asking what the Resource
Re·::overy Bond issue is doin3, notin';l that it is sitting in escrow
u~til all the permitting has been accomplished. He stated that the
bClnd issue will probably no: come out or escrow until at least
February 1st.
Mr. Fischer stated tLa': with regards to insurance, when a bond
Jssue is insured a lower rate is normally obtained. He stated, fo::
eKample, if there was a $20 million issue with an "A" rated bond it
wC"11J sell for 7-1/2% but a Triple "A" would sell for 7-1/4%. He
st:ð\.ed that wi th an "A" rati ng, the County pays the pr ice. He stated
that the total interest cost. would he $18,493,000 over a period of 20
years at: 7-1/4% and if the f'ame issue of an "A" rated bond non-
insured, the interest cost would be $19,236,000, which means there
would be a savlngs of $746,000 approximately, which beats the cost of
the insurance. He stated that i:' the interest rate goes down, then
t~e savings goes down and tt.e test is whether to sell close to the
~ate if insurance is not obtained and be penalized in the interest
charge, adding that some cit.ies do it. He stated that in the future
Page 33

Octobe. 28, 1986
Collier County may be able to ~o it, not on the utility bonds, but
possibly on othcr jssues. E_ stated that wittl -ef~"ding, the County
does not have to worry because they pay for themselves. He stated
t.~at if there was a bond iS3ue that was n,t refunding, he may look at
tl." .lnSJrance issue.
Commissioner Voss questioned if the insurance premiums can go
de,wn, to which Mr. Fischer replied affirmatively, adding that this
d~pends on the County's name.
Commissioner Voss questioned if the water and sewer authority is
vet up, how will the County transfer the assets from one pool to
another, to which Mr. Fischer stated that he thinks that it is going
to ~e difficult because the mon~y that is sitting in the pool is for
the County and not an authority. He stated that he does not think
thac this money can be transferred over.
Mrs. Susan Fischer stated that the document is set up for County
use or County affiliated use and if it is set up as a totally
s~parate entity or authority, it may create problems.
Mr. Fischer st~ted that there is a possibility that the arbitrage
could be lost in a situation like this.
Mr. Fischer stated that in order to accomplish the Utilities
Dire~tor's goal, he is going to have to get going on the bond issue
and he is going to have the tedm on board~ He stated that when
Smith Barney and PaineWebber g~ve their proposals for the multi-road
bonds, it was do~e on the basis that they would also do the project

bonds as they came out. He stated that this is not necessary, but
this is the way the bid W6S. He stated that Smith Barney would not
charge any management fee~; [or honds that Cdme out as project bonds,
adding that if the Board of ~ounty Commissior.?r3 w0uld like to con-
tinu~ working with them, he would need sC'lIte '.¡:dicatiC'n from the Board.
Clerk Giles questioncd what other fees would be involved, to
w!.~r~ Mr. Fischer stated that if the variable rate is left, there
would be an additional take-down fee or commissions to be paid and
c~rtain other expenses. fie stated that there would be minimal fees.
Hn stated that this would be brought ba~k to the Board.
commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight and
carried 4/0, (commissione~ Rolland out of the room), that Mr. Fischer
:,e authorized to continue with smith Barney for the project bon1s.
Clerk Giles stated that next week, he will be bringing back to
tl'c Board the fee of the bond counsel for the last three bond issues,
ad~\ng that neither County Manager Lusk nor himself has negotiated
this fee with Mr. Giblin.
