shopping center on the subject property. She reported th~t Section 13
of >he Zoning Ordinance states th"t hefore the Planning Commission
shnll recommend "pprovðl of any provision"l use it shall first
det~rmi," that satisfactory provision and arrang~ment hûs heen made
corcerni~g the general compli~nce with the Comprehensive Plan: ingress
and egress to the property and proposed structures; the affect on
nei?hhoring properties in relation to noise, glare, odor and economic
effects; and the ge,eral compatihillty with adj"cent properties. She
stated thût in r~1?ti0n to the is~ue of ingress and egress, ~~e site
plans shows three points of acc~ss, one fire lane and two mi\j~r
accesses to the shopping center. She stated that the numher ~f access
P?ints are critical to the proper functlonin? of both the shopping
center and U.S. 41 as too few C~ too many access roint~ Increase the
risk of "ccirlents. 5~e indicated that the three accesses proposed seem
aòeauate to meet the npeds of this shOpping center and, in addition,
the parkinq arei'! will re connected to Naples To~:n Center, which has
four access poir.ts on L'S-41 "nr] 0ne onto Glades Þ,lvrL She stated that

if tnere are any provi!lions that would indicate that thc fire lane
could not he us~~ as an access point by the qcneral public?
Planner ~cYim .tatc~ that the fire lðn" will be open to (he
general public as well i'!~ to provide access for the fire lan~.
Co~nission~r PistlJr aupstioncd if the access that lines up with
the m"!di.1n cut could bc the only access, to which Plilnncr 1kKlm stater)
that thi~ ,)cces~ ''''Gut, he the r:1i1jor one. sn,! noted that such :)
stipulation would havD to be included in the !:,rovision"l use.
Commissioner Holland stilted that the ccrc is rccom~endin~ three
accesses, adding that he hðs a hard time tryina to justify onn ent!ance
for the amount of peopl.., that wOIJld be going in and out of that
shopping center. He stðted that this could be a major safety factor.
Commi~sioner Pi~tor st"ted thðt the exits are necessary, but there
is II h"zar~ there alrea,y with peopl"! tryinq to get in and out of that
shoppina center. He notcd that if three morp accesses are ar)1ed within
a quarter of a mile, there is going to bc a problem.
Conmis!!ioner '!ol1.)no1 st"ted th"t therc is only one cut through the
median, so the balance of the traffic will have to 00 north w~en they
come out of the shopping center.
CODDissioner nistor indicated that some people cut out an<'l
immediately cross ovcr the lanes to get into a turn lan"! at the median
cut so they can turn aroun1 and go south, which creates a pro~lem.
Commissioner P.olland stated that there should be "Uo U-'!"Jrn" signs
put up at those median cuts and questioner) if so~~thing could be done
about that, to which Public Works Administrator Kuck stated that it is
so~ething that would havp to be hanòled by DOT as the County cannot put
up "No V-Turn" signs on U.5. 41.
Attocn@y Pickworth stated that as far as the entrances and exits,
the site plan conforms with what is in the recommendation, whlch is
that there be no separate access to the out parcel onto U.S. ~l. He
stated that after confer~ing with his client, he indicated th~t he
would concur with that in this instance.
Com~issioner Pistor questioned if there is any agreement to sign
the stipul"tions that were specifiej?
~r. Pickworth stated that in this particular instance right now,
he can a9ree to those, but one of the prG~lems that he has is that the
stipulations tha~ arc bein~ requested are the kind of things that would
be worked out as part of the !lite development plan, which is jone at
ðOCK 092 t~r.t 11.

the point when enqincerina is to be started. H~ stiJt~(l that he is
simply a!l~lng for ~ provisional ua~ for the th~atre at ~his r~int,
noting thet the sit~ dev~lop~ent plan still has to be r~view~d. He
stated that is why he was reluctðnt to sign the stipuli'!tions at this
point in the process: he is taking the ris'; that all of thes('
stipulationz are going to turn out to he acceptable and not unduly
hamper the project; and, if the petitioner decided to sell this
property as separate parcels, there would be many ~ore acceSEes.
County Attorney S~unders stated that he has a little prchlem with
the comment that the Petitioner agrees now with the stipulations, with
the implication that later on they may not agree. ~e stated th",t if
these things are to be ~ade part of the provisional use that should be
part of the document ðnò they should b~ a condition for gr"nting of the
provisional use, adding that if Mr. Pickworth's client is not agreeable
tò them that is something that the Co~mission should consider.
Mr. Pickworth st"ted that he indic"ted on the record that he
agrees to the stipulðtions, adding that everyone that comes before the
County has the right to later petition the Board for relief and the
BOi1rd would make a decision anrl that was all that was meiJnt by that
comment. Pc stated that his client, lik~ everyone else, hiJS that
right.
County Attorney Saunders stated that he has no problem with that
clarification of it, adding that the Petitioner recognizes that he will
be bound by the t~r~5 an<'l conditions of the provisional use and he will
have to petition the Aoard for a change of those terms.
~r. Pickworth stated that he understands that, which is ~hy thebe
stipulations are ta~en very 3~riously and looked at very carefully.
Commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and
carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed.
Co~missioner Voss moved, seconded by Commi8si~ner Goodnight and
carried unanimously, that Resolution 86-9 re Petition PU-85-23C be
adopted subject to Staff stipulations.

POLICY PROVIDING FOR FUNDING FOR THE POSITION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR AND TRANSFER OF SUCH FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND - APPROVED
eoml'mnity Develo;:>T"ent A,y~iniBtrator !~ullins st"terJ that the
objective of this itcr' i!:: to creiJte a securely funrTed position which
will be responsihle for developln~ and ad~inistcrina an effective and
cOT"prehensive housing proaran for Collier County. She repor:ed that
this request is necessary "t ~id-year rather than at the budget
sessions due to the possible aS6unption that thcre is a position and
that there is fundinq a'¡ailable for the position, adding that in fact,
there is no funding "nd therefore, no one can be hired to fill the
position and the responsibilities which should be carried out cannot be
completed. She stated that ~iJjor proqram fundinq requests will be held
until r.udQct sessions. She indicðted that the Economic Development
Department has existed for several years, addinq that the functions of
the department ha'le not ~en clearly definetj nor the qoals i'!n::J
objectives fully iMenti fieò or developed. ~he stiJted that the
functions of the cast involved ar~inisterin~ whatever housinG proGrams
were existing witl.in Collier County and utilizinG !!Ionies fron those
grantR and proqra!!ls to pay salaries, addin9 that the fUndinq source for
the Departnent has historically re!!lained unaddressed, leaving it to the
Direc~or's discreti~n, She stated that this practice encoura~es
misapproriation of funds and inefficiency of program adninistration.
She noted that in an effort to correct the deficiencies of this
depart!!lcnt and better serve the needs of the community, it is suggested
that the functions of the rierMrtment be broadened and established and
that the director's position he funded from non-progran qrant sources.
She referred to a c~art indic~tins th"t it has to be decided if Collier
County wants a housing prOGram in the County. She stated that if the
County does want a hQusina oroqram, the Goals, objectives, the
functions of the d~partM~nt, an0 the prosra~ n~p~s to be defined,
adding that fundino for the nersonnel will be needed and the Board
should act upon the rirector's recommendation to expand, limit, and
direct thc program anri its staffing level, in other words, the Director
is to be the advisor for the program. She noterl that if the answer is
"No", a housin') proorùM is not wanted 'in Collier Countv, th~n the Ooard
should issue dircctives as to when consultants should be ~ired to apply
for qrants and also to administer them, and also realize that other
housing functions and responsibilities will not be addressed. She

County SO~0 of th~ functions "nd responsiblities th~t sh<)uld be
addr~ss~d ar~ such thinos ~s loo~ing at th~ Enterprise Zones ~hich
curr~ntly exist, adding thðt there are two in Tmm<)~~lee. Sh~ sti'!ted
th~t developnent in these areas should be encour~g~1 and methods should
be devi5ed, which could be done throuqh t"x incentives ilnd Ip5S
stringent zoning ðnò buildinG regulations. She notcrl thðt coordin"tion
witl1 th'? private s0ctor sholJlå he more- actively pursuw1 !!IO th'lt the
housins ne~ds of Lh~ co~runity ct'1uld he address'?1 ~nd that hy combining
the public and private resources, a great deal more can be obtained for
the low dnrJ morJeròte incone person. 5h~ 8t~ted thiJt a St"'ndard Housing
Code should be reseilrched :¡nd developpd, addinn that such code would
provide minimu~ housinq qu~lity ~tiln<'lards and on enforcement orogram
would also be nece~sit"ted with this prosro~. She reitcrated that the
purpose of the St<,ndarc1 !!ousinq Code is to "ddress the needs of
existing housina, addinn thiJt there are current orrlinðnces such as the
rehab ordinance an<'l dangerous building ordinance, but they are
ineffective ,1n.j de not ðddress t",e problem. ~ne stated that tile
possible need for a houslno authority should be explored and presented
to the Oo"rd for consideriltion 'nd direction, a.jdinq that a very
important portion is with recent gross managenent legislðtion of 1985,
which indicates that th~ housing element, as part of the Comprehensive
Plan, must be prepared by July, 19A7. She statp.d that the Housing
Director should assist the Staff with the current long-range sections,
meeting the needs of the County and adñressing the growth of Collier
County, direct the activities of the Citizens Advisory Task force,
obtaining citizen input and bringing it back to the Roard. She stated
th,1t th~ Director shoulrJ assess the needs of the County's rental
systems program, which i!l also the Section 8 Program, adding that they
should direct the hiring for a house and quality compliance inspector
which is the direction of BUD, and they should recognize policies,
procedures and staffing levels which are necessary to provide a
comprehensive and effective housing program for the County. She stated
that there are only two positions currently in the Department, one is
the Director, which is vacant, and the second one is the Section B
Counselor whic~ is filled, adding that these two positions are not
sufficient. She noterJ that at the present time, she is only asking
that thA Director's position he funded from the General Fund in this
fiscal year. She stat-rj th~t the second alternative is to continue to

for administration, arlding that thi!l will not allow for proper
administration of proqra~s and grants and it provides only for minimal
administr"tion and does not allo~' for consideration. <'Ievelopm~nt or
improvement of functions. She stated that the third alternative is to
not broaden the function of the department nor fund or fill the
rirector's position, bu~ contract consultants instead. She noted that
this altcrnrttive would he ey.pensive and does not ad<'lrcss the day-to-day
needs of Collier County. She indicated that the most effective
alternative would be the first one, which is to fund and fill the
I
Director's position and broaden the functions of the department. She
sti'lted tho'lt she alao recommenc1s that this position be funded through
the Gcneral Fund for this fiscal year and that a budget transfer in the
a~ount of $24,182 he authcrized and that the P,oard commit to funding
the Director's position in Fiscal Year 1986-P7.
Commissioner pistor questioned how this fits in with the Collier
County Housing Authority, to which Mrs. Mullins stated that generally
Housing Authority's are operated through the local Government as
Counties continue to r.row.

Commissioner Voss stated that there is a desperate need for
improved housing in Im~okalee as well as other areas of the County and
the only way that it will get done is by doing what the Staff is
proposing,
Com~issioner ~oodnight stated that the Housing Authority that is
being referred to i~ only for Farmerworkers Village and they are
appointed by the Governor. 8he stated that this Authority does not
takp care of anything else in the area.
Co~missioner "oll"nd ouestioneñ if there is a Collier County
Housing Authority at this point, to which County Attorney ~aunders
stated that there is a Housing Finance Authority, adding that he is not
sure what the scope of their jurisdiction is, whether it is county-wide
or just the unincorporated area.
Co~~issioner ë¡olland stated that th"re is definitp.ly <i need for
housing allover the County, not just Immokalee, and it is time to look
at the County as a whole.
~1rs. tlullins stated that the Citizens Ac1visory Tas": Force and
Staff agree, adding that in the past session when the application was

in the County.
Co~missioner P.aSH· '7uest ionen whðt ~1rs. ~'ll11 ins mcant hy bui l<'ling
ðccording to less stringent laws, to which ~1rs. Mullins replied that in

enterprise zone because the ultimate goal is to encourage development.
Mrs. Mullins stated th'lt trere "re not "ny inc~ntives hein<T offered in
the current enterprise Z0nes in Immo~alee, adding that ~he Director
would ho'lve to com" bac,: to the ßO'lrd '",ith recomMend"tiOns a'! to what
could be made less stringent and it is then up to the Board to make
such a determination as to whether it should be done or not.
Commissioner Ha!!sp stated that a new position is being created, to
which Mrs. !'ullins inr]icatec that the position hùs existed for many
years, but therc has never been a fundinr¡ source set up for it and the i
responsibilities have ncver been established.
Commissioner Passe questioned if this position is croing to result
in vùrious other positions, to which /Irs. Mullins stated th",t what
exists now is not sufficient to operate even the way it was operated in
the past. She noted th",t she WQul<'l like to hire a director with the
qualificðtions ðnd expertise ðnn tnen let the~ decide w~at is needed to
meet the regul"tions anG to address the requirements that are
necessary. She st:¡ted that the Director would then come b"ck to the
BCC durin~ budget s~ssions with the request, adding that the only time
that she would co~e bac~ before the Board tnis fiscal year would be if
it is a matter that is urgent.
Commissioner pistor stðteã that the only way that the housing
problem is going to be solved is to go a~eðd with such a progrðm.
Cou~ty Manager Lus~ stated that he has a problem with the funding
source that ~as been identified. He stated that he can see funding
this position throu~h the General Fund for the rest of this fiscal
year, but he ho~es that the Board will put ~ stipulation on this
recommendation that th~ Community Development Division will find other

sources of fund inn by Octob~r 1, 19R6. H~ stðt~rl thAt he could see the
Division comina hack (or Sln,OOO if they arc havina trouble funding the
position, hut he does not want to see the entire position funded
through the General Fund. Pe sti'!ted that if there is nnt oth~r funding
sources hy October 1, 1986, then he would recommend that the position
be eliminated.
Commissioner Voss stated that he disagrees entirely, adding th",t
if there is going to he a competent person in this position, no one can
expect such a person to apply for a job that may only lAst 6 months.
He stated that there i~ a need for this housing in this County and if
money is available for grants that is fine, hut if it is not available,
then it has to be insured thro~gh the General Fund that there will be
moneyavai]anle. Pc stater] thl!t it should be a permanent position, and
if funding can be fo~nd from another source that would be good.
County l1an"'ger Lusk stated that most grants can be used for
s~laries and if that type of stipulation is not put on this position,
the County may not s~e "ny money coming their way.
Commissioner Voss stated that he is willinq to Qut that type of
stipulation on the ~otion, hut he wants it understood that this iÐ a
permanent position and if funrlinq cannot be obtained, then it will have
to come out of the Gcneral Fund.
ComJt1unity revelopment ',<'Iministrator ~!ullins stated thðt the intent
is to provide a permanent funding source to take awðy the incentive to
misappropriate the funds and to not complete grants on time. She noted
that whoever is funded, the work will be charsed to that particular
section, but only for the work that is performed. She noted that at
budget session when she comes back with the complete program and
staffing levels, it does not ~ake any difference to her what !und the
moncy comes from.
Commissioner pistor stated thðt if the proper person is !ound, the
program can be very successful.
Com~issioner Holland stated that he feels that if private industry
had the g",me ?pportunity to build some o' this housin~ with le3s
stri~g~nt codes, there m"y he enouah int~rest from the priv~te sector
to provide the ne~ded housing.
Deputy Assist~nt County Manager 8rangðccio st~ted th~t what is
needed is some type of consolidated housing program involving the
private industry. She st~ted that the programs are fragmented
throughout the County anè what is being requested is that the Board

Ms. Rrangaecio stated that she wou~d like to see jo~nt meetings on

but if therc are çoing to be combined meetings, then the boards should
be combined.
Commissioner Holland stated that if the meetings were held

He notecJ thùt a p.H~ of this r"cor.1nendation is that the carpe:ing that
is inst~ll~d on the second floor be lo~-priced carpeting at S6.00 a
s~uðre yard and that the ceilina tiles be 51.25 per square foot, which
will waive the competitive bid because these prices are considera~ly
lower than what could be obtained by bidding.
Attorney Gcorn" Varn"doe, representing the Collier County Bar
Association and members of the 20th Judicial Circuit thnt are located
in Collier eou~ty, stat~d that he has alw~ys felt that this facility

86-13 AUTHORIZING CO~~ ATTORNEY TO HIRE LAW FIRM OF KARON, MORRISON'
SAVIKAS, LTD. FOR VARIOUS CASES AND TO FILE COUNTER CLAIMS - ADOPTED
County Attorney Saunders st~ted that it would be appropriate for
Mr. siesky to go through in some detail what his client is willing to
settle for and what the prices would be, adding that there have been
sever:~'t::::~sJ::::. S!esky, rep'resenting 'East Pfaples Water S~steI!HI, :':'ifii.:'.
. ; .' ..,.-.f
Inc. stated that he will present facts and opinions, adding that this' ,
whole situation began 17 years ago when the County Water-Sewer District
wa3 created for the purpose of providing sewer in two places: Sewer
District ""." in !Torth Naples and Sewer District "B" in F.ast P1ap1es. Ite
questioned if the purpose is to provide fot the health, safety, and
welfare of .the people by getting them sewers or is the purpose for the
C~unty to run the sewers, adding that they are not the same. ITe stated
that in 196B, it was determined that there was a critical need for
sewers in the East Naples area, which was reaffirced ~any timen after ~
that. He reported that in 1970, shortly after the sewer district was
created, there was a resolution prepared which said that sewer systems
were to begin in Sewer ~istricts "A" and "~", adding that Sewer
District "A" was finally installed around 1977. He stated that
throughout this the County has tried to rely upon other people to get
the sewers installed for them, adding that when the District was,
created there was a plan for developers in, Sewer District "1\" to put"in
the sewers. He stated that this was never done and,the County ended up
putting in the sewers. He noted that with regard'to Sewer District.
On", it was always the intent for the County to join with the City,
have the City er.pand its plant, and take the sewage froft this area. He
stated that he would suggest that the County has gotten exactly what it
has paid for, and that is nothing. He indicated that the County has' ~
studied the proble~ to death, noting that Black, Crow' Eidsness did a
study in 196~: a pre1i~inary report was done in 1~69 and put up. for
referendum: 1970 a wastewater collection syste~ report was done:
another report done in 1976 by Blackþ CrO\1' Eiðsness: :1977 a Bimi1ar
report was done for the City of Naples, and 1978 the 201 Plan was; I"
adopted and Fewer District "S- was to be ..rved by tho City of Naples
and Sewer District "e" was to be served by the Loly System. He noted
that the East Naples System was scheduled for connection to the City of

Naples in 1<)80 according to the 201 Plan, adding that at this time, the ,
East N'.Iples Systel'1 had not been substantially ex!,anrJed. He st.aterJ that
it ia interesting to note that on~ of the options stated in the 201
Plan w"s that various alt~rnative sources of actions were provided for
the County ~nd the first alternative was the no action alternative. He
statcd that it was sU11cstCrJ by the Engineer at that ti~c, that a no
action alternative is often characterized by lac~ of direction,
duplication of effort and facilities, waste of natural resources, and
possible dt!gradation of the environment. p.~ stated that this was the
option that the County chose at that ti'!le. He noted that the 201 Plan
also spoke ~f the Conprehensive Plan that was adopted in 1974 because ..
one of the purposes of th"lt plan was for the Utilities area to provide
guidance to governnent and private enterprise in order to assist growth
and develo!,>r.1ent. He indic.ated that in 1'.'81 the 201 Plan was recom-
mended to be upèateò by the Engineer at the ti~e, '.Ind he sugqested that
by 1990, the County w?uld need a 15,000,000 gallon per day plant for
Area ·C" and the pl'.ln at that time was to use the Lely System as an
interin facility until such tir.H! that it rP.ached its capacity and there
was adeguate demand in the area. I!e noted that, alternatively, it was
first sug')ested that East 11aplcs would serve Area "ß", and it was also
sU9gested that if the County combined Areas "C" and "0" as is now
proposed, that the County .'ould accelerate the r!emand for sewers in the
area by 10 years. He st<lted that in 1983. there was a managem~nt
report prepared by Arthur Young & Co., which indicated, regarding the
utilities aspects, that unless the County Commission gives first
direction to its staff, the County's utilities system will continue t~
languish, noting that this means that they were languishing at that
point. He stated that on November 9, lQ83, the Heery report was
prepared for the sout~ half of Area "8" which indicated a frustration
in the Utilities area which was the result of no unified plan and only
a multitude of studies. He stated that it was also suggested that the
East Naples '~ater System was the logical plant to serve a large portion
of the south half of Area "e". He stated that there were about 8
studies that were prepared in that period of time that shows that the
County Commissio~ ~as been unable to make a decision and stick to it
which resulted in inconsistent direction and actions of the Utilities
Department. He stated that when the East Naples Water System made
application to serve the south half of Area "n" through the PSC, that
the County Commission was forced to pass a bond resolution in'!,)

ðttc~rt to commence construction in this area.
County ^ttorney Saunders stated that Mr. Siesky is indicating
various opinions that arc his opinions, adding that he is not objecting
to th~n or contradicting the~ in anyway, but he would like the record
clear that staff is not necessarily agreeing with anything that he is
sayinq or about to say.
Mr. Siesky stated that East Naples Water System began its
construction in the early 1970's and if the Board had gone forward Wi.&. >
this plan at that time, based upon the studies it would cost E~st ~:
Naples only about $100,000 in assessment costs. Pe stated that since
that ti!:'e, East rlaplcs ~'ater System has invested trousands and hundreds
of thousands of dollars in this system, He reported that in 1976 the
Utility repartment was organized for the first time and, at that time,
trcrc was some goals and objectives stated to be accomplished and one
was that from 0 to 5 years, that the East Naples Water System would be
purchased. He stated that 10 years has now gone by, and the East
Naples Water ~ystem still has not been purchase~. He stated that other
goals sti\ted wcre the purchase of Jlvatar facilities, 11arco Island
facilities, Ca~ri Water works, and the development of sewer service in
Area "ß". He noted that in December 1976, the Ci t Y of !:aples granted
an exclusive right to !"sst r1aples "rater System to serve watrr in the
Glades area, adding that the same day that this was accomplished, the
County passed a franchise ordinance which required a franchise for East'
Naples Watcr System. He noted that in September 1977, there were a
number of co~munications between the attorney's involved indicating
that East Naples Ilater System does not want sewer treatr.1ent as it has
its o....·n plant. He reported that in Jam:ary, 1979, the same thing was
reiterated, but if the County wants to take it over, East Naples Water
System should be co~pensated. On January 30, 1979, r'r. Sam P.ubschJllan
"skcd for a time table as to ,.,hen sewer ,",ould be cro'lided in rast
~aples becðuse he did not want to invest any r.1ore money in his sewer
system if the County was going to take it over. P.e reported that on
February 1, 1979, it was again stated that East tTaples ",ater System did
not need sewer service and asked what th~ County's position was. He
¡ndic~ted that on February 5, 1979, the Utilities Department responded
that th~y did not t.now w~at the County's J:'Osition was, adding that in
February, 1<)81, F.ast ~'aples T~ater System again as!<:cù for exclusion from

a memo that staterJ that she was willing to give 'East Naples ~later
System a franchise to ser7e Brookside ðn<i Kelly Road, and another memo
from Commissioner pistor stated that he would vote against such an
issue. P.e indicAted that this same month, P.ast ~aples Water System
brought a !!uit against the County under Ordinance 76-71, whic~ was the~
franchise ordinan<:e. fie noted that on October 12, 1982, the BCC aSKed
that the purchase of the East Naples Utility be placed on the agenda
and October lA, 19;12, Fast Naples ~later System was contacted to
determine if they '''Ante,) to sell. He reported that in ~arch, April and
May of 1983 letters were written asking for franchise consideration and
there was finally a meeting set for June 6, 19A3. He stated that on
June 1, 19~3, the Cou~ty adopted a policy to acnuire all private
utilities and on July 27, 1983, it was indicated that any franchise
that was to be negotiated would have to have a purchase formula and the
lines would have to be deeded to the County. He noted that October 4,
1983, Commissioncr pistor indicated by memo that he was against a
larger service ar~a for the East Naples Water System and recommended
that the County purchase !~arco Utilities, !ast tlap1es Water System, anti
Lely, adding t~at Oc~ober 16, 1983, the Board denied the East Naples
Water System petition for a franchise. He noted that on December 3,
1983, the Board pu~ the purchase of the !ast Naples Water System on the
bacKburner and èecided to pursue the purchase of De1tona. He stated
that the Board was advised that East Naples Water System continued in
its willingness to negotiate a settlement and a sale. He indicated
that on June 3, 19Q4, the Board voted to offer a franchise to East
Naples Water Syste~ and on February 14, 1984, a franchise, which was
unexpected, was offercd to East Naples Water ~ystem. He stated that
was a fiv~ year franchi3c as opposed to the 30 year franchise that had
been granted to Avatar, ~arco Island, and the other utilities in the
area.
County Attorney Saunders stated that he wanted the record to

reflect that the franchise that was granted to the other utilities wcre
also old franchises.
Mr. Eiesky stated th~t on February 19, 19P4, the Board authorized
its consulting engineer to evaluate the East ~aples Water System for
purch~se, adding that it was never acconplished in th~ sense that the
BCC intended. He stateñ that there was a prelimina,ry report and
investigation prepared in 1985, more than a year later. pe noted that
on February 17, 1984, the Board approved connection of Courtland Plaza
to Eðst lJaples Water gysten with the County lines and the customers to
be East Naples Water customers. He noted that the County was informed
of F.ast ~aples willingness to discuss settle~ent in Auqust 1994 and at
the same time, the County was considering a auick-take condeMnation of
th~ systcm. He stated that Hole, I~ntes provided a value of the
~uick-take in October, 1984, in the amount of $4.5 million. Pe
ihdicðted that on October 16, 1984, the County }\ttorney was directed to
continue negotiations and on January 9, 1985, the County Attorney
advised ~!r. Shapple, representing East Naples Water System, that the
County was no longer interested in purchasing the system, but a
franchise would have to be neqotiated. He reported that on ~anuary 23,
19'35, ð draft franchise w<!s provided to "r. Saunders and on Fehruary
20, 1985, an offer to sell the system was made for the amount of $12.4
million. He noted that on March 7, 1985, negotiations and valuation of
the plant were susgended until such time as East Naples would start
with a lower selling price. He noteð that the preliminary investiga-
tion was conducted and a report prepared April 18, 1985, which
indicateñ a value of $3.5 million as opposed to the $4.5 million that
was done by the same engineers for a ~uick-take. He stated that on
April 25, 1985, the County decided that they could not afford the
purchase and on JUly 14, 1985, East Naples ~ater System applip.d for a
s~rvice area to the PSC ðnd 16 days later, the County issued its bond
rcsolution. He reported that on September 7, 1985, he agreed to bond
validation proceedings if the County would not object t~East ~aples
¡'later SY!ltem's proposed service area. He noted that a Attlement offer
was !H1bmitted on ~eptelllber 17, 1985, which cHscussed County Attorney
Saunders' prior offer to purchase the system for $5 lIIillion provided
the rast Naples Water Syste~ would install a 4 million gallon per day
plant in addition to the two plants that thcy already had, plus ðll of
its land. He stated that he compared thðt offer to the report that h~....~,
becn prep"red by the County's own engineer which l!Iuggested that a 4 J'

millio:1 gallon per day plant. should be worth ahout. $10 million by
itself. !1e noted t.hat. on O-::t.oher 9. 19:5, Mr. Saunders int1icat"d a
counter-offer th~t could be recommended by st.aff, adding t.hat it was
not much Q! an offer. He st~ted th~t this brings th~ Commission up to
date and to his offer which is that the East NIIPles Hater RysteJII. the
East Na?lcs $e'.cr Syste!:1, the p.ast ~lapletl effluent dis¡>osal system
which includes spray irrigat.ion. and the polishing ponds consisting of
78 acres, adding that the total price for this iA $lO.R million. He
noted tnat if the County did not wish to retain title to the land uW:'c
th~ sew~r plant, II credit of S900,000 could be accepted which would
reduce th~ purchase price to S~.9 ~illion IInd if the County did not
wish to Qurchase the extra 52 acres, the price could be reduced by $1
million for a purchase price of $~.8 million ant1 if both of the
alternatives were chosen, the purchase price would be $8.9 million and
in addition to that, there would be approximately $3 million in impact
fees received over the s~cceeding years. He stated that the plant an~
lines are v~lued at $9.6 million, which does not include land. He
stated that one of the prooleMs in settlement that he has found is th"t
Staff does not know what the Commission wants. He stated that there
are at least eight different times that the County Commission has
switched from franchise to purchase. He stated that an absence of
direction has made it difficult to negotiate a sale or a settlement
because he does not know what the County wants. He stated that he
objects because the County has never mad~ a settlement offer. adding
that another factor that should be considered is litigation costs .s
they accrue for both parties. He noted that the Board has been guilty
of failing to give adequ"lte direction to ita staff or giving
conflicting direction or maybe Staff has not followed the directions,
adding that the result of all that is that 17 years later there is
still not a sewer system in Area lOB" and while the County has been
doing nothing, the private enterprise area has beèn busy constructing
lines and sewer treatment plants and Ea~t Naples Water Syst~m is now
poised to serve the entire south half of Area lOB" He stated that East
Naples Water System has the capability and the County now has to deciðe
whether they want to provide the service or whether they are willing to
let Fast Naples Wat.er System provide the service. He noted that in his
opinion, the County should either buy the system or get out of East
Nnples Water System's way. He noted that if a counter-offer is to b~
made, he would request that it be written that the County Com~ission
ðD~

give detailed directions to its staff as to what the counter-offer
should be and that the County Co~"ission approve the counter-offer
before submission to Fast Naples.
County ~ttorney Saunders stated that ~r. 51esky went through a
lengthy discourse on various facts and opinions and the reason that the
County is at this point is that the County is now involved in eight
lawsuits filed with Fast Naples Water Systems. H~ noted that he finds
it interesting that there are not any other lawsuits that the County is
involved in with developers or utilities in which da~ages are being
sought. He stated that he feels that the direction from the Co..i.sion
was clear in 1984, which was to investigate the purcha.. of this .y.te~
and the County staff has spent untold hours in doing that. but the
problem is when one is dealing with a $6 or $7 million difference in
the asking price of the Utility for what the County has determined the
utility to .be ~Iorth, it is difficult to reach a middle ground.
Utilities Administrator Crandall stated, with reference to
purchasing East tlaples Water System, he would have to ask where the
money would come from. He stated that the only information available
is what the County would COMe up with for bonding, which was a value of
$713,000, based on the revenue that is generated from the system at
that time which was April, 19~5. He noted that anything above $713,000
would have to come fro~ other sources and the Board would have to
address that. He noted that in April, 19P5, the master plan for the
sewer had not been co~pleted, adding that it is to the point where he
~nows where the best alternatives would be for the sewer plant for tha
south half of Area "8". He stated that it has been recommended by the
consultants that it be put in the vicinity of Rattlesnake Hammock poed
and S.R. 951. He stated that a study was done on the Fast Naples
Water SYf'tem based on their rate case and it indicated a lot of fact.
and figures, but it did not indicate system value in ~mount of lift
stations or ~anholes. He stated that it is his opinion if East Naples
h'ater System was aC'lui:"ed it would be a temporary, interil'1 system, and
being an interim system it lessens the value. ~e noted that there is a
li~itation at the ~ast Naples Water SY8tp.m facility regarding land,
adding that the County would not be able to expand it to the point that
is needed for the customers that are in the area.
County 11anager Luslr; stated that the regional plan':. that will be
built will start out at 4-5 million g~llons with the ability to go to
16 million gallons, and because o~ that type of design, any other plant

thaL is being used would be closed down within a five year period.
In answer to Conmission~r Voss, Mr. Siesky stated that they
expnnded their pl~nt because it was a minimal expenditure an~ in order
to expan~ the plant to treat its own area it was almost as economical
to expand it to the full capacity.
Utilitl s ^dministrator Crandall stated that in his opinion if
East NIJ.ples ',later System w.ere to serve Area "ß", the plant would have
to be enlIJ.rgcd again.
commissioner Holland questioned how ~any sewer customers are in
the Lely area, to which I·r. Crandall replied 1400.
Commissioner Holland questioned how many custo~ers East Naples
Water Systems has, to which Mr. Siesky replied 1500 in wftter custo~ers,
2200 in sewer customers. Mr. Sie~ky stated that if you look at the
size of the East Naples area, Naples Park area, and Golden Gate City
area, they are all about the sane. He stated that Avatar treats r~ld.n
Gate City; Sewer ristrict "A" treats principally Naples Park, and East
Naples Nater System treats the Glades/Lakewood area.
Commissioner Holland questioned how L 2 million
justified with 1400 custo~ers and the bonding of the
could only stand $700,000.
Utilities Administrator Crandall stated that the money for Lely
was not bonded, adding that a loan was obt4ined from the Developer and
the first payment is to be made a year after takeover. He stated that
as far as East Naples Water System is concerned, there is about
$700,000 of bondable assets that they want to sell for $lO.R .1llion,>
or $8.9 if you take off credit for the 52 acres and the water and sewer
plant land. He stated that this is about ten ti~es as !Iuch as the
County would be allowed to bond. He stated that with Lely, the County
could have bonded at least half.
In answer to Com~issioner Holland, Mr. Crandall stated that it is
estimated that 50 acres of land will be needed for the regional plant.
County Attorney Saunders stated that he has no comments concerning
the offer, adding that the Executive Summary dated January 28, 1986,
explains the Staff position on the various offers of settlement and
ftaff recommenðation is to reject those offers of settlement. He
stated that there is a counter-offer contained in the Fxecutive Summary
dealing with a service area and to purchase bulk rate sewer service
from the utility.

Cranñall, the evaluation did not consider the customers that c~uld be
hooked on to the existing East ~aplcs Water Treatr.tent Plant, lI':!ding
that the evaluation that was presented by his consultants considers the
additional customers that are reaðily available from Foxfire, Kings
Lake and the surrounding areas.
County ~Ianager ,usJc stated that the County already has those
customers at Foxfire, adding that the County is paying off $100,000
that they purchased the plant for and, therefore, that cannot be
considered along with purchasing East Naples and using those custo.ers
as those customers already belong to the County.
Mr. Siesky stated that the County does not have customers in the
Shadowlawn area, Brookside, or Kelly Road.
utilities Administrator Crandall stated that the negotiations are
too far apart to be workable.
Commissioner Voss questioned if there was a value ~ade of the
plant without customers, to which Mr. Crandall stated that it was based
on Fast Naples 1'later System's request for a rate increase and it was
not based on any actual physical properties, so they did not come up
with any such value.
Mr. Siesky stated that the valuation based on the rate increase
was $3.5 million. He noted that it discounted the existing capacity of
the system, did not include the additional 52 acres of land and used a
discount factor of 10\ as opposed to 7,75\ that was useð by his
consultant.
Tape .9
Co~missioner Holland questioned 1f East Naples Water system was
offered $5.5 willion? County Attorney Saunders stated that he has
always taken the position that only the County Commission can nctually
mnke an offer of settlp-ment. He stated that when he gets involved in
settlement negotiations he always tells the other side that this is
something that hc will r2commend, but the Board will be the ulti~ate
entity that is going to r.ake the offer. He stated that ^s far as any
particular offer, he would say that any disco.sions that were had
concerning any offers wcre only discussions that were brought back to
the Board.
County Attorney Saunders stated, with regard to a quick-take
issue, an evaluation is done of the system and then a certain amount of
money is paid to the court, then a jury trial is held on the evaluation
and if the estimate of tne evaluation 15 correct, then there is title

for that amount of money that is paid in the court, but if the estimate
is low, th~n not only is that amount paid, but the additional amount i.
paid plus interest. !~ stated that the reason that a settlement
involving quick-tak~ was never worked out is that the Plaintiffs
wholeheartedly would not agree that the County had the legal authority
to quick-t~k~ chat property, which meant that the County would not have
only liti7ated the iRsu~ of value, but also the issue of whether there
was a right to take the property or not, ad~ing that this was an
unacceptable risk for the County to take so it never went any further.
He stated that the County believed that they had the right at that time
but, with the ri~k if the County had litigated and lost, the County
would hav~ had to pay all the costs for both sides in the litigation
and th~ evaluation and the County would not have had any utilities.
COJr.!;\issioner Holland stated that it is time for the Conmission to
offer a s~ttlement for a certain amount of money and let Fast Naples
Water System deCide if they want to accept the offer or not.
County Attorn~y S"Iunders stated that there have been ,numerous
meetinqM in which both p"rties discussed settlement, but the difficulty
is that there is more money that is being asked for the system than
Staff feels that the system is worth, adding that he does not know how
to arrive at a price under those circumstances.
Com~issioner Holland stated that costs are going up and up by
keeping Staff and everyone tied up on this thing.
COMmissioner Voss questioned what the customer base would provide
in bonding capacity, to which Mr. Crandall replied $713,000 as of
Tlpri 1, 1985.
Commissioner Voss stated that he would move that the County offer
$713,000 pluG whatever change there is from April, 1985, to the pre.ent
time.
Mr. Siesky stated that bonding i. not the issue, fair market value
is the issue.
County M~nager Lusk stated that as far as the bonding it is what
could be bonded on the system itself, adding that there are other
things that could be pledged to bring it up and it is of more value to
this County than $700,000 for that plant. He stated that there i.
capacity that could be used for the next four or five years before a
new plant comes on line. He stated that the County has to look at what
the value of that nlant is to the County and then if the County can
com~ up with th,,~ Money, adding t11at the fi1urc would be more like 52.5

but thi1t If! the value of that system to the County. He øtate1 that
there are 1400 customers in Kings JA~e right now and that would be used
to pledge another 5500,000 and there is also Lely that could be
pledged.
f1r. Crandall stated that the value hall changed since
because of the master plan and the plant ill definitely an

be worth about $2.5 million maximum.
Commissioner Vcss stated that he would .a~. a motion that $2.5

million be offered.
County Attorney Saunders stated that it needs to be ðiscussed what
the $2.5 million is being offered for, as there is a lot of land
involved, physical facilities, and custo~ers.
CountY ~anager Lusk stated that it should b~ based on th~ same
type of a3reement as with Lely and Poxfire where the land is turned
back over after a certain period of time.
l1r. Cranr.all stated that assuming that the offer was accepted, the
justification and the need has to be shown, adðing that there is
certain criteria that ~ust be met.
Commissioner Pistor indicated that he had received a letter from
Colonel Beebe, President of Lakewood Civic Association, which he read
into the record that indicated that they support the counter-offer as
prepared by the County Attorney with mixed emotions, noting that public
interest must be paramount to the private interest anð all ordinances
must be ~nforceð. He referred to the plant being too high a price and
the wrong size and wro~g location.
Commissioner Pist0r stated that in 1978, the County Com~ission was
ready to purchase the system through a Farmers Home Loan which was
rejected and it was then put off because the cost of borrowing money
was too high at that ~~me.
Commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight, that
$2.5 million be offered based on the same type of agreement that there
is with Foxfire and Lely and pending all the necessary requirement. a.
required by law.
Com~is~ioner Polland stnted that this is just going to prolong the
issue.
Commissioner c,oodnight stated that she would li~e to see this
matter resolved and if they are not interested in the $2.5 million,

then thp. counter-offer should be ~ade.
Mr. fiiesky asked for clarification a. to what the offer include..
Commi5sioner pistor stilted that the offer includes all that is neces-
sary to run th~ plant and the polishing ponds which is part of the 78
acres.
~Ir. Crnndall stat'!d that the percolation ponds would be needed and
whatever the acreage is for those ponds.
Mr. Siesky questioned if it included the effluent pon~ and the
additional 52 acres that are not currently effluent pon~s?
r1r. Crandall stat'!ld that the 52 acres would not be required,
adding that it would not include the 52 acres.
~r. 5iesky questioned if it would include the effluent distribu-
tion pipe line for the spray irrigation to golf courses, to which Mr.
Crandall replied affirmatively.
Mr. Siesky questioned if it would include the land beneath the
water and seHer plants, to which f'r. Crandall stated that there would
have to be acce3S, but it would not be needed p'!lrmanently, adding that
there could be a reverter clause.
Mr. Siesky stated that it includes no rent for the time that it
'lIould be used, to which r1r. Crandall replied correct.
Com~issioner Goodnight questioned if the property that the plants
were sitting on has been leased from some of the other plants, to which
County r·lanager Lusk stated that the effluent that is returned to the
golf courses will be considered the lease payments.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that the property that the plant ta
sitting on is not going to be owned by the County, and questioned if
the County will lease it or if the agreement will be that at the end of
the time period, the land will be turned back to the owners.
Mr. Crandall stated that the lease is exactly the value of the
effluent that is being provided for the goif course. He note1 that the
land would go back to them when the County i8 through with it excapt
for the pump station site.
County Attorney Saunders stated that to clear up the record, the
motion should include that this offer will be made in consideration of
the dismissal with prejudice of all lawsuits that have been filed by
East Naples and the bond validation and there would also be a general
dismissal of ~ny claims that have accrued since the filing of those
lawsuits.
Commissioner Voss indicated that he would like the stipulation of

Commissioner Voss stated that he would place a ti~. period of 60

Upon call for the question, the aotion carried 4/1, (co~.issioner
Rolland opposed).
Commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight, that
if East Naples Water Systems, Inc. does not accept the first offer that
it be counter-offered as set forth ih the Executive Summary dated
January 28, 1986.
~lr. Siesky indicated that the counter-offer is too vague to deal
with.
County ^ttorney Saunders stated that the Executive Summary does
not go into any detail, adding that the concept is clear and Mr.
Crandall can work out additional language as to what is bein~ discussed
in this franchised area.
Commissioner pistor stateð that if it is necessary to revert to
the counter-offer as proposed by Staff. that it be brought back to the
Board for acknowled~ement and full detail.
County Attorney Saunders stated that this offer would have the
same provisions concerning dismissal of lawsuits.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried 4/1, (Commissioner
Holland opposed).
County Attorney Saunders said that in the event that the offers of
settlement are rejected and the County's countpr-offer is rejected and
because of the time delay in having a response from the Plaintiffs, he
would like the Commission to adopt a resolution authorizing the
retaining of the law firm of Karon, Morrison ~ 9avikas, Ltd. to assist
the County in case numbers as detailed in the resolution and also to
authorize his office to file counter claims when it is deemed necessary
to file counter claims regarding those case numbers.
Commissioner Rolland moved that this resolution be denied as there
are already fcur attorneys in the legal department that could work on

this matter. He stated that it costs enough by ~eeping it in house.
County Attorney Saun~ers stateð that in various lawsuits the
Connissioners ar~ na~ed as individual defenðants and it is his opinion
that he does not hilve the nlln?OWp.r or the facilities to properly
litigate the~c cases, aà~ing that if the Commission desires to reject
thiß resolution, hI! cautions the Commissioners that they are lIuhmitting
themsclves to the! potential for liahility and also the County.
Mr. Crandall stated that this will be a fiscal impact on the
Utilities Division budget, and he needs to know how much this will
cost.
County Attorney Saun~ers stated that he cannot estimate what the
cost will be for outside counsel, adðing that a lot ðepends on how far
thc County goes with the litigation. He stated that it is an area that
is difficult to estimate.
Connissioner Voss stated that if the lawsuits are lost, there is a
greater liability.
Mr. Crandall stated that he would like the aoar~ to be aware of
how mu~h is bcing spent and to give ðirection as to where the money
should come from to pay for the outside counsel,
County Attorney Saur.ders stated that during the 60 day period
there will he a lot of activity in preparing for trial.
Ilr. Crandall stated that there is a lot of time spent on these
cõses from the ~ttorney's office as well as his office.
Commissioner Hasse seconðeð the .otion and upon cftll for the
question, the motion failed, (2/3, Commissioners Voss, Goodnight and
pistor opposed).
Commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Goodnight and
carried 4/1. (Commissioner Holland opposed), that Resolution 86-13
authorizing the County Attorney to file counter clai.s when deemeð
necessary and to hire the firm of ~aron, Morrison, anu Savikas, Ltð. be
adopted.
11r. Crandall stated that he would 1i~e to present to the Board
what the Utiliti~s Department limitations are.
County Attorney Saunders stated that during the rest of the fiscal
year, he would estimate that there will be another $70-RO,OOO more
spent than what has already been spent and maybe more than that. He
noted thðt äince the Karon, Morrinon, Savikas fir~ ha~ been retained,
he has srent about !;40,OOO which has consisted of getting the Federal
Court to stay the proceedings in a Federal Court, the'County has

?laintiffs, and he believes that he has gotten a fairly good hendle on
the litigation, which he feels is quite a bit accoMplished in e short
time.
commissioner Goodnight stated that the County either pays what
East tlaples Water System wants or the County has to ðefend themselves
in court, and there does not seem to be a choice one way or the other
and if outside counsel is the way to go, then this is what the County
should do.
Commissioner Voss stated that F~st Naples Water System was given
60 days to reply one way or the other and it should not take that long
a time and, during that time, a lot of money could be spent. lie stated
that the time period could be reduced to 30 days.
Commissioner Voss moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and

FISCAL OFFICER INSTRUCTED TO USE THE $68,500 RACING TAXES NOT PLEDGED
AS COLLATERAL FOR A $580,000 LOAN TO PINANCE THE CLAM PASS BOARDWALK
AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS
Ço~~issioner ristor state<'l that Fiscal Officer Gilcs has supplied
th~ 'JO,Hri 'áth the a1rount of JIIoney that is not ohligater1 fro", the State

bo~rr1~~lk access to the park in Pelican Bay. He stated that with
$62,500 of the race tax money that is available, it could be used to
fi:1ðnCC $5::10,000 for 17 yc'!rs which would help to pay for the boardwalk
and other related improvp.ments to Clam Pass.
In a:1s'.er to CO!11:T1i£:sioner Goodnight regarding the School Board's
share of this money, County Manager Lusl<: stated that this is not new
money, adding that it has ~een in the County's budget for a long time
and for the County to lose that, it will reflect in the tax rate.
County !·lani1ger Lusk stated that the only question he had regarding
t~is matter is why the :oan is set up for 17 years instead of 20 years?
Fiscdl Officer Giles stated that the reason for the 17 years is that
this represents t]-,e portion of t.he racing money that is not pledged and
what is pledged is pledged throuqh the year 2003 which is 17 years from
now, aùùing that if there is another loan obligating the rest of the
rdcing money, both loans will come due at the same time and it can then
be used for a new use.
Commissioner Voss .oved, seconded by eo.aissioner 8ass. and
carried 4/1, (Commissioner Goodnight opposed), that the Fiscal Officer
be instructed to use the $68,500 racing tax.s not pledged as collat.rål
for a $580,000 loan to finance the Cia a Pass Boardwalk and related
improvements.
Fiscal Officer Giles questioned if. there has been a resolution
received from the outside bond counsel regarding this matter, to which

will check on it.
