Policies/Meetings/General Correspondence - Volume 2 This letter was sent to the attached list of people! CE)/k)e-fs-- & Ale ica December 3, 1990 C33 <first> <last><title> <business> <address> <city> RE: Environmental Advisory Boards Dear <Intro>: On November 27, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to draft appropriate ordinances to create two Environmental Advisory Boards along the following lines: Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAC) ♦ Consolidate the existing WMAB and EAC, ♦ Review projects for environmental stipulations, ♦ Establish criteria for selecting projects that will be reviewed. Prosect Review Environmental Advisory Board (PREAB) ♦ Create a separate technical advisory board to assist County staff in developing environmental policies and regulations. The Board of County Commissioners directed staff to workshop the proposed ordinance with the WMAB and EAC and hold a new public hearing in 90 days. The attached schedule was therefore developed to satisfy the direction given to staff by the Board of County Commissioners. A major issue that needs resolution is to define the type of projects forwarded to PREAB for review. Also, membership criteria will allow for greater flexibility by allowing additional experience deemed appropriate by the Board of County Commissioners. December 3 , 1990 Page -2- Staff intends to provide you with draft ordinances one week prior to the workshop by the EAC. If you are unable to attend, please provide me your comments.

The only suggestion I have pertains to SECTION TWO, paragraph B, sub-paragraph 1 . I believe the intent of the functions of the ordinance would be significantly strengthened if this paragraph were revised to read as follows: 1 . advise on the conservation and management of the physical and biological natural resources (atmospheric, terrestrial, aquatic, and hydrologic) of the County. I added aquatic resources as the term hydrologic indicates groundwater) Other than that the, draft ordinance appears to me to be sufficient. I appreciate having the the opportunity to provide input.

This revision reflects the public input and EAC direction as required by the BCC at their November 27, 1990 meeting. This item has been previously submitted. ACTION REQUESTED: Please review the attached draft for legal sufficiency OTHER COMMENTS: I need a Quick turnaround time in order to meet the Board's direction of bringing a revised ordinance back to them in 90 days.

Lorenz, Jr. , P.E. , Administr for ----------- -- Environmental Services Division FROM: David C. Weigel, Assistant County Attor e DATE: January 22 , 1991 RE: RLS Item #ENV01169101 - Draft Ordinance for Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board I received your RLS dated 01/16/91 requesting review of the latest draft ordinance for the Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAB) , discussed suggested revisions with Ms. Charlotte Westman pursuant to her telephone call of 01/17/91, have reviewed the draft and offer the following suggestions and recommendations: 1. Page 1 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted except for title changes which will be discussed later in this memo. 2 . Page 2 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted with additional handwritten revisions. I note that a substantial phrase in the first "whereas" paragraph appearing on Page 2 is being deleted, which is all right. 3 . Page 3 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted and with the handwritten revisions. 4 . I have no problem with Subsection 6 at the top of page 4 , as written. This subsection merely provides that EPTAB shall act and function under this draft ordinance in a manner that does not conflict with and is in accordance with the goals and purposes of Collier County Ordinance No. 74-50. By virtue of this water policy function of EPTAB, however, it is necessary that this draft ordinance does not create a conflict or duplicative functions of EPTAB and the WMAB. Therefore, I would suggest a new Section Seven be created for this draft ordinance entitled: "SECTION SEVEN: REPEAL OF SUBSECTIONS a, c, d, e AND f OF SECTION SEVEN OF COLLIER COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 87-97 . Subsections a, c, d, e and f of Section Seven of Collier County Ordinance No. 87-97 are hereby repealed as of the effective date of this Ordinance. " 5. As we discussed concerning Section Three G, as it appears on page 5 with handwritten revisions, I believe that it may be desirable to leave the initial part of the sentence of the first sentence of Paragraph G as is, without the handwritten explanatory language. If explanation or justification for the rule is needed, it can be provided in the discussion of the ordinance at the public hearing concerning the adoption of the draft ordinance. The change of the word one-half to one-fourth is a judgment call for the Board to accept. 6. Page 6 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted and with the handwritten revision. 7 . I note that the last sentence of Section 5 has had the word "advertised" added to it. Please be aware that the time and the procedural requirements of advertising the EPTAB agenda are something to be taken into account in regard to goals of this Board concerning the public review and its ability to act timely upon matters to come before it. Additionally, advertisement of the agenda will be a cost imposed upon County government and will need to be addressed in the fiscal impact element of the Executive Summary discussing the draft ordinance. 8 . Page 8 is all right as drafted. Please note that the signature block for the chairman of the BCC is now: PATRICIA ANNE GOODNIGHT, Chairperson. 9 . Please note that the addition of the new Section Seven in the draft ordinance will require that the remaining Sections 7 through 10 be renumbered as Sections 8 though 11. Additionally, it will be necessary to add the language of the title of the new Section Seven in the appropriate place in the title of the ordinance. Please make this change on Page 1 of the title portion of the draft ordinance. I hope the forgoing information is of assistance to you. I understand that you shall be advertising this for Public Hearing before the Board of County Commissioners in late February. You have informed me that Development Services shall be acting to provide for a new draft ordinance that consolidates the WMAB and the EAC functions regarding project review aspects. cc: Kenneth B.

Lorenz, Jr. , P.E. , Administrator Environmental Services Division FROM: David C. Weigel, Assistant County Attorney 496,41 RE: RLS Item #ENV 01169101 Draft Ordinance for Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board Provided herewith is the final draft of the EPTAB ordinance, which includes one further revision in Paragraph B of Section Three appearing on Page 4 of the draft ordinance. Please note that I have adjusted the second sentence of Paragraph B to provide: "Along with the applicant responses" . . . in the place of the words: "In recommending appointments, " . . . . It is important to note that the Board's staff does not make recommendations as to appointments to advisory boards, but rather transmits the applicant responses to the Board with no judgmental comment. This ordinance is ready for advertising. You will note that the title of the ordinance has been revised to address the repeal of certain subsections of Section Seven of Collier County Ordinance No. 87-97 . If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. cc: Kenneth B.

Weigel, Assistant County Attorney e,c/1V RE: RLS Item #ENV 01169101 Draft Ordinance for Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board Provided herewith is the final draft of the EPTAB ordinance, which includes one further revision in Paragraph B of Section Three appearing on Page 4 of the draft ordinance. Please note that I have adjusted the second sentence of Paragraph B to provide: "Along with the applicant responses" . . . in the place of the words: "In recommending appointments, " . . . . { It is important to note that the Board's staff does not make recommendations as to appointments to advisory boards, but rather transmits the applicant responses to the Board with no judgmental comment. This ordinance is ready for advertising. You will note that the title of the ordinance has been revised to address the repeal of certain subsections of Section Seven of Collier County Ordinance No. 87-97. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. cc: Kenneth B. Cuyler, County Attorney Frank Brutt, Administrator, Community Development Services David Pettrow, Director, Development Services dcw/dp/2818 DATE:.4 . MEMORANDUM ACTION: — _ INFO: TO: William D. Lorenz, Jr. , P.E. , Administr tor -- - _ Environmental Services Division FROM: David C. Weigel, Assistant County Attor DATE: January 22 , 1991 RE: RLS Item #ENV01169101 - Draft Ordinance for Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board I received your RLS dated 01/16/91 requesting review of the latest draft ordinance for the Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAB) , discussed suggested revisions with Ms. Charlotte Westman pursuant to her telephone call of 01/17/91, have reviewed the draft and offer the following suggestions and recommendations: 1. Page 1 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted except for title changes which will be discussed later in this memo. 2 . Page 2 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted with additional handwritten revisions. I note that a substantial phrase in the first "whereas" paragraph appearing on Page 2 is being deleted, which is all right. 3 . Page 3 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted and with the handwritten revisions. 4. I have no problem with Subsection 6 at the top of page 4, as written. This subsection merely provides that EPTAB shall act and function under this draft ordinance in a manner that does not conflict with and is in accordance with the goals and purposes of Collier County Ordinance No. 74-50. By virtue of this water policy function of EPTAB, however, it is necessary that this draft ordinance does not create a conflict or duplicative functions of EPTAB and the WMAB. Therefore, I would suggest a new Section Seven be created for this draft ordinance entitled: "SECTION SEVEN: REPEAL OF SUBSECTIONS a, c, d, e AND f OF SECTION SEVEN OF COLLIER COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 87-97 . Subsections a, c, d, e and f of Section Seven of Collier County Ordinance No. 87-97 are hereby repealed as of the effective date of this Ordinance. " 5. As we discussed concerning Section Three G, as it / appears on page 5 with handwritten revisions, I believe that it may be desirable to leave the initial part of the sentence of (/ the first sentence of Paragraph G as is, without the handwritten explanatory language. If explanation or justification for the rule is needed, it can be provided in the discussion of the ordinance at the public hearing concerning the adoption of the draft ordinance. The change of the word one-half to one-fourth is a judgment call for the Board to accept. 6. Page 6 of the draft ordinance is all right as drafted and with the handwritten revision. 7. I note that the last sentence of Section 5 has had the word "advertised" added to it. Please be aware that the time and the procedural requirements of advertising the EPTAB agenda are something to be taken into account in regard to goals of this Board concerning the public review and its ability to act timely upon matters to come before it. Additionally, advertisement of the agenda will be a cost imposed upon County government and will need to be addressed in the fiscal impact element of the Executive Summary discussing the draft ordinance. 8. Page 8 is all right as drafted. Please note that the signature block for the chairman of the BCC is now: PATRICIA, ANNE GOODNIGHT, Chairperson. 9. Please note that the addition of the new Section Seven in the draft ordinance will require that the remaining Sections 7 through 10 be renumbered as Sections 8 though 11. Additionally, it will be necessary to add the language of the title of the new Section Seven in the appropriate place in the title of the ordinance. Please make this change on Page 1 of the title portion of the draft ordinance. I hope the forgoing information is of assistance to you. I understand that you shall be advertising this for Public Hearing before the Board of County Commissioners in late February. You have informed me that Development Services shall be acting to provide for a new draft ordinance that consolidates the WMAB and the EAC functions regarding project review aspects. cc: Kenneth B.

Environmental Services Division Collier County Government 3301 E. Tamiami Trail Naples, FL 33962 RE: Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board Dear Bill: Since I may not be able to attend the Public Hearing of the County Commissioners on February 26 regarding the Technical Advisory Board, I wanted to convey several suggestions which may improve the proposed ordinance. These are the same ones I mentioned to you on the phone last week. 1. Section Two, B,4 and C,3 Change: Add the words "programs and other initiatives" to both sections. Rationale: It is my understanding the intent of the Advisory Board is to advise on all issues and areas related to natural resources in the County. This could include education programs, acquisition initiatives, easement purchases. tax incentives, etc., not simply "ordinances," "policies," "rules," and "regulations" as now referenced in the ordinance language. 2. Section Two, B, 2 and 3 Change: Delete these two clauses. Rationale: Section Two, B, 1, covers by inference and in a positive way what is stated in clauses 2 and 3. More importantly, however, if it is felt that we need to be more explicit with respect to the two areas covered by 2 and 3, there are problems with the language which I have not found a simple way to correct. AGRIBUSINESS GROUP William D. Lorenz, Jr. February 26, 1991 Page 2 In clause 2 we state that the Advisory Board will "advise on the prevention of the depletion, deterioration ... of the County's ...resources." (Emphasis is mine.) With respect to "depletion," some resources, e.g., lime rock, oil and gas, will be depleted or exhausted in areas as a normal and acceptable use of the land. Also "deplete" is defined as "to reduce or lessen in quantity, value, or effectiveness," not simply "to exhaust." A single house or road cannot be built without "reducing" or "lessening" a natural resource. I believe the intent is not to "prevent," but to insure that the actions are done in a manner whereby our total environment remains attractive and sustainable. With respect to clause 3, we have a similar situation. Here again we state that the Board will "advise on the prevention of the...alteration, or damage of and to...natural resources." (Emphasis is mine.) As above, there is no way to build a home or road, to allow public access into a natural area, or to farm a field without in some way "altering" and to many, "damaging," the natural resource. Once again we are not trying to prevent alteration, etc., but to insure that with any alterations or other man-initiated actions, the environment remains viable and sustainable. (Also "extirpation" is probably redundant if "extinction" is included, or vice versa.) If you wish to retain these two clauses, they need to be rewritten to recognize the above. I would like to reemphasize that clause 1 can easily be interpreted to cover everything likely intended by clauses 2 and 3. 3. Section Three, E,4, Paragraph 2 Change: Eliminate the requirement that the two (2) members serving until September 30, 1994, must demonstrate expertise in Biology and/or Wildlife Management. (The one serving until 1995 is desirable.) Rationale: I recognize the need over the next 2-3 years to insure that the Advisory Board has a Biologist and/or Wildlife Management specialist among its members. However, it must be remembered that the Board will advise on a vast array of environmental issues and needs. In Section Three, D, twelve skills which might be desirable are listed. I could easily add many others, e.g., environmental law, resource economics, civil William D. Lorenz, Jr. February 26, 1991 Page 3 engineering, soil science, biochemistry. Thus, under the best of situations, it will be impossible to have all skills represented. To allocate 3 of 7 positions to Biology/Wildlife Management seems an overemphasis in one area, an overemphasis which could severely shortchange other important environmental areas. I feel that one competent biologist/wildlife specialist, in conjunction with County staff skilled in this area, should be able to provide the necessary technical advise on biologic and wildlife matters. In addition, I would feel comfortable in making that field a mandatory permanent area for a single representation rather than removing the requirement in 1995. I hope these suggested changes and their rationale prove useful to you in the hearing. C:orely, David B.

Reno, 3 14 s £ MEMORANDUM DATE: May 1, 1991 TO: Ron McLemore, Assistant County Manager FROM: David C. Weigel, Assistant County Attorney RE: Inquiry/Operational And Procedural Requirements Of The Pelican Bay Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit Advisory Committee. Recently you made inquiry concerning several operational or procedural requirements of the Pelican Bay Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit Advisory Committee that was created pursuant to Collier County Ordinance• No. 90-111 and appointed pursuant to Collier County Resolution No. 91-253 . Specifically, the questions were as follows: 1. Is the Pelican Bay MST&BU Advisory Committee subject to the Sunshine Law? 2 . What are the requirements of any "subcommittee(s) " of the Pelican Bay MST&BU Advisory Committee vis-a-vis the Sunshine Law? 3 . May a Pelican Bay MST&BU Advisory Committee member vote by proxy? 4 . Are the members of the Pelican Bay MST&BU Advisory Committee required to file financial disclosure statements? The following responses to the foregoing questions are provided directly from the Government-In-The-Sunshine Manual, 1991 Edition prepared by the Office of the Attorney General where indicated. 1. Is the Pelican Bay MST&BU Advisory Committee subject to the Sunshine Law? The Pelican Bay Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit Advisory Committee is subject to Florida's Government-in-The- Sunshine Law, Section 286. 011, Florida Statutes. Ron McLemore, A ,tant County Manager May 1, 1991 Page 2 The Government-In-The-Sunshine Manual states: Ad hoc advisory boards whose powers are limited to making recommendations to a public agency and which possess no authority to bind that agency in any way are subject to the Sunshine Law. Town of Palm Beach v. Gradison, 296 So.2d 473 (Fla. 1974) . Accord, Spillis Candela & Partners, Inc. v. Centrust Savings Bank, 535 So. 2d 694 (3 D.C.A. Fla. , 1988) . There is no "government by delegation" exception to the Sunshine Law, and public agencies may not avoid their responsibilities or conduct the public's business in secret by use of an alter ego. IDS Properties, Inc. v. Town of Palm Beach, 279 So.2d 353 (4 D.C.A. Fla. , 1973) . (Manual, p. 16) The Sunshine Law extends to the discussions and deliberations as well as the formal action taken by a public board or commission. There is no requirement that a quorum be present for a meeting of members of a public board or commission to be subject to s.286. 011. Instead, the law is applicable to any gathering, whether formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission. Hough v. Stembridge, 278 So. 2d 288 (3 D.C.A. Fla. , 1973) . And see, Board of Public Instruction of Broward County v. Doran, 224 So. 2d 693 (Fla. 1969) ; City of Miami v. Berns, 245 So. 2d 38 (Fla. 1971) . It is the how and the why officials decided to so act which interests the public, not merely the final decision. Thus, the court recognized the Times Publishing Company v. Williams, 222 So. 2d 470, 473 (2 D.C.A. Fla. , 1969) : Every thought, as well as every affirmative act, of a public official as it relates to and is within the scope of his official duties, is a matter of public concern; and it is the entire decision-making process that the legislature intended to affect by the enactment of the statute before us. This act is a declaration of public Ron McLemore, b ,tant County Manager May 1, 1991 Page 3 policy, the frustration of which constitutes irreparable injury to the public interest. Every step in the decision-making process, including the decision itself, is a necessary preliminary to formal action. It follows that each such step constitutes an "official act" , an indispensable requisite to "formal action, " within the meaning of the act. (e.s. ) (Manual, pp. 16, 17) a. Sunshine Law to be liberally construed while exceptions to the law to be narrowly construed As a statute enacted for the public benefit, the Sunshine Law should be liberally construed to give effect to its public purpose while exemptions should be narrowly construed. See, Board of Public Instruction of Broward County v. Doran, 224 So. 2d 693 (Fla. 1969) . Moreover, inasmuch as the policies behind the Public Records Law, Ch. 119, and the Sunshine Law, s. 286. 011, are similar, they should be read together. Cape Coral Medical Center, Inc. v. News-Press Publishing Co. , Inc. 390 So.2d 1216, 218 n. 5. (2 D.C.A. Fla. , 1980) ; Wood v. Marston, 442 So. 2d 934, 938 (Fla. 1983) ; and Krause v. Reno, 366 So. 2d 1244 (3 D.C.A. Fla. , 1979) . The courts have recognized that the Sunshine Law should be construed so as to frustrate all evasive devices. Blackford v. School Board of Orange County, 375 So. 2d 578 (5 D.C.A. Fla. , 1979) ; City of Miami Beach v. Berns, 245 So.2d 38 (Fla. 1971) . As the Florida Supreme Court stated: Various boards and agencies have obviously attempted to read exceptions into the Government in the Sunshine Law which do not exist. Even though their intentions may be sincere, such boards and agencies should not be allowed to circumvent the plain provisions of the statute. The benefit to the public far outweighs the inconvenience of the board or agency. If the board or agency feels aggrieved, then the remedy lies in the halls Ron McLemore, A twit County Manager May 1, 1991 Page 4 of the Legislature and not in efforts to circumvent the plain provisions of the statute by devious ways in the hope that the judiciary will read some exemption into the law. Canney v. Board of Public Instruction of Alachua County, 278 So. 2d 260, 264 (Fla. 1973) . If a board member is unable to determine whether a meeting is subject to the Sunshine Law, he should either leave the meeting or ensure that the meeting complies with the Sunshine Law. See City of Miami Beach v. Berns, supra at 41 (" [i]f a public official is unable to know whether by any convening of two or more officials he is violating the law, he should leave the meeting forthwith") ; Town of Palm Beach v. Gradison, 296 So.2d 473 , 477 (Fla. 1974) (" [t]he principle to be followed is very simple: When in doubt, the members of any board, agency, authority or commission should follow the open-meeting policy of the State") . (Manual, p. 40) 2 . What are the requirements of any "subcommittee(s) " of the Pelican Bay MSTU Advisory Committee vis-a-vis the Sunshine Law? a. Workshops, informal discussions The Sunshine Law applies to any gathering, whether formal or causal, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission. The Sunshine Law is, therefore, applicable to all functions of covered boards and commissions, whether formal or informal, which relate to the affairs and duties of the board or commission. The fact that a board characterizes business as "non-substantive" does not necessarily remove it from the ambit of the Sunshine Law. If the "nonsubstantive" business requires the approval or consideration of the entire board or concerns matters which should appropriately be considered and discussed by board, then s. 286. 0111 requires that such business be conducted in the sunshine. AGO 75-37 . (Manual, p. 27) Ron McLemore, A Cant County Manager May 1, 1991 Page 5 b. Delegation of authority to single individual. The Sunshine Law also applies when an individual has been delegated the authority to act on behalf of a public board or commission covered by the Sunshine Law. Section 286. 011, therefore, would apply to meetings of a single member of a board who had been delegated the board's authority to lease land relating to that issue. However, when an individual has only been authorized to gather information for the board, the Sunshine Law would not apply. Goodrum, Case No. 80-3775 (10th Cir. Polk Co. , 1980) , affirmed, 415 So.2d 1372 (2 D.C.A. Fla. 1982) (Manual, p.26) c. Fact-finding committees. A limited exception to the applicability of the Sunshine Law to advisory committees has been recognized for committees established for fact finding only. When a committee has been established strictly for, and conducts only, fact finding activities, i.e. , strictly information gathering and reporting, the activities of that committee are not subject to s.286. 011, Cape Publications, Inc. v. City of Palm Bay, 473 So.2d 222 (5 D.C.A. Fla. , 1985) . (Manual, p.26) However, when a committee possesses, or exercises, not only the authority to conduct fact finding but also to make recommendations, the committee is participating in the decision-making process and is subject to the Sunshine Law. (Manual, p.26) d. Telephone Conversations. [T)he Sunshine Law applies to the deliberations and discussions between two or more members of a board or commission on some matter which foreseeably will come before that board or commission for action. The use of a telephone to conduct such discussions does not remove the conversation from the requirements of s. 286. 011. Therefore, members of a board seeking to discuss board business or conduct a meeting of the board by telephone should ensure that the requirements of the Sunshine Law have been satisfied by providing notice and access to the public. (Manual, p.25) Ron McLemore, t. ,tant County Manager May 1, 1991 Page 6 3. May a Pelican Bay MSTU Advisory Committee member vote by proxy? The answer is NO. The rules of procedure for this advisory committee are established by Collier County Ordinance No. 90-111 and No. 86-41. Attendance (presence) at a committee meeting is a requirement for a quorum of the committee (Section Eleven, Ordinance No. 90-111. ) The ordinance does not provide for nor recognize the procedure of a proxy vote to meet an attendance requirement (presence) and a quorum requirement. Also, see the Government-In-The Sunshine Manual, pp 38, 39 for additional voting issue discussions. 4. Are the members of the Pelican Bay MSTU Advisory Committee required to file financial disclosure statements? Section 112. 3145, Florida Statutes, sets forth the financial disclosure requirements. Subsection (2) (b) states that each State or local officer and each specified state employee shall file a statement of financial interest no later than July 1 of each year. Subsection (1) (a) (2) defines a local officer to be any appointed member of a board; commission; authority, any expressway authority, or transportation authority established by general law, community college district board of trustees; or council of any political subdivision of the state, excluding any member of an advisory body. (emphasis added) . A governmental body with land planning, zoning, or natural resources responsibilities shall not be considered an advisory body. The Pelican Bay Municipal Services Taxing Benefit Unit Advisory Committee is an advisory body without land planning, zoning or natural resources responsibilities, and is therefore not subject to the financial disclosure requirements of Section 112 . 3145 (2) (b) , Florida Statutes. cc: Kenneth B.

Attached is a table showing our evaluation of each applicant's expertise. The table is designed to coincide with the required qualifications per Ordinance 91-26: The primary consideration in appointing EPTAB members shall be to provide the Board with technical expertise necessary to effectively accomplish the EPTAB's purpose. Members shall demonstrate evidence of expertise in one or more of the following areas related to environmental protection and natural resources management: Air Quality, Biology (including any of the sub-disciplines such as botany, ecology, zoology, etc. ) , Coastal Processes, Estuarine Processes, Hazardous Waste, Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Hydraulics, Land Use Law, Land Use Planning, Pollution Control, Solid Waste, Stormwater Management, Water Resources, Wildlife Management, or other representative areas deemed appropriate by the Board such as, but not limited to, a representative of the development community. Based upon this evaluation we recommend that the following be considered for membership to EPTAB: Dave Addison Anthony P. Pires Gary Beardsley Larry Richardson David Land Glenn Simpson David S. Maehr David S. Wilkison Stephen Means Also note that Ordinance 91-26 specified staggered initial term of office and that two members serving until September 30, 1994 Sue Filson May 8, 1991 Page -2- and one member serving until September 30, 1995 shall have demonstrated expertise in Biology (including any of the sub-disciplines such as botany, ecology, zoology, etc. ) and/or Wildlife Management.

June 6, 1991 <Name> <Business> <Address> <City> Bear <Intro>: Congratulations on being selected to the Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board (EPTAB) . For your convenience, I have encloocd a package consisting of: o Ordinance 91-26 o County Organizational Chart ° Environmental Services Division Organizational Chart o Goals, Objectives & Policies of the Growth Management - Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element - Solid Waste Element - Drainage/Water Management Sub-element - Conservation and Coastal Management Sub-element o Names and address of EPTAB members Ordinance 91-26 specifies that EPTAB will conduct its meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a.m. As you may be aware, on May 28, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners directed the County Attorney to amend Ordinance 91-26 to increase the nine member Board to an eleven member Board and named eleven individuals to the EPTAB but did not assign individuals to specific terms. However, the Board did accept the recommendation to place Dave Addison, David Maehr, and Larry Richardson in the terms reserved for the biologist/wildlife management. A first order of business for EPTAB is therefore to assign individuals to specific terms. I recommend that the eleven members meet for a brief organizational meeting within the next two weeks to assign individuals to the specific terms through a lottery process. All eleven members would participate in the process. We will contact you in the near future to arrange a convenient date and time. Sincerely, William D.

Meeting called to order at 4 : 14 by Glen Simpson. 2 . Simpson distributed Stormwater Master Plan and associated literature to those who had requested them. 3 .

The Board felt that different strategies may apply to different areas of the County and proposed that the County be divided into three or four general divisions: Urban, Agricultural, Wilderness, Golden Gate Estates. 4 . The Chair and Vice Chair shall define specific boundaries of the areas and present their ideas to the Board at the next meeting. Also at this time, subcommittees will be established to determine criteria specific to each of the defined areas. 5.

TAJILAMI TR. GROWTH PLANNING DEPARTMENT NAPLES, FL 33962 (813) 774-8282 A CERTIFIED BLUE CHIP COMMUNITY August 12, 1991 Mr. Craig Evans American Farmland Trust 1920 N Street, NW Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Mr. Evans: I was recently given your July 29, 1991 letter to Bill Laverty and asked to respond. I was very impressed with the assistance programs offered by AFT. However, at this time, I do not see a need for this type of program in Collier County. The agriculture industry is one of the three major economic sectors in the County along with the construction industry and tourism. At this time, we are not experiencing the conflict between development and agriculture that many communities are seeing. Most of our agriculture is located in the northeast portion of the County while most of the development is occurring in the coastal area. We simply do not have a current problem of diminishing farmlands. In fact, the agriculture sector is actually growing as the citrus industry moves south. We will keep your information on file. Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Should you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to call. Sincerely, Robert E. Blanchard, AICP Growth Planning Director cc: Frank W. Brutt, Community Development Services Administrator Bill Laverty, Growth Management Planner ! ' July 29, 1991 Mr. William W. Laverty Growth Management Planner Growth Management Department 2800 North Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 33942 Dear Bill: • Thanks for responding to our questionnaire. I know it required a lot of time and thought -- on top of your other responsibilities. Hence, your promptness in responding is greatly appreciated. Your responses will be important to us as AFT steps up its efforts at the state and local level to help Florida communities decide the future of their remaining farmlands. You indicated in your response that you would like to learn more about the types of advice and assistance AFT can offer in developing land use plans, ordinances and local farmland protection options. There are three ways in which AFT can assist: First, AFT has compiled a wide variety of publications that offer practical information on saving valuable lands and on the use of farming practices which lead to a healthy environment. A list of these publications is enclosed. Second, should you have a specific question -- or need some quick advice -- please give us a call. We will be more than happy to discuss farmland issues with you. Third, AFT's legal and policy staff can provide direct assistance to you and your staff. For example, AFT can work with county planning departments (as we are presently doing in Dade County) to: 1. Allow staff to avoid starting from scratch; 2. Advise on the state of the art in farmland protection techniques; 3. Involve the principal groups affected by agricultural zoning to build community awareness and support for farmland protection programs; 4. Organize conferences and workshops to explain farmland protection techniques -- and how they've worked in other states -- to landowners, conservationists, developers and other groups, and explore options for the county; NATIONAL OFFICE 1920 N Street,NW Suite 400 Washington,D.C.20036 Tel:(202)659-5170 Fax:(202)659-8339 recycled paper Page 2 AFT's legal and policy staff also can work with you to: 5. Revise existing programs and ordinances to make them more effective; 6. Add farmland protection to the comprehensive plan; 7. Draft "Right to Farm" laws to reduce conflicts between farms and people living in close proximity to their operations; 8. Select the proper zoning technique -- point/numerical approach, conditional use, sliding scale, quarter/quarter, exclusive agricultural zoning, large lot zoning or buffer zoning -- to protect local farmlands; 9. Define precisely the permitted uses within an agricultural zone; 10. Determine the characteristics of agriculture in the area that is to be protected; 11. Determine the suitability of specific parcels for inclusion in the agricultural zone; 12. Draft ordinances that will withstand "taking" and "exclusionary zoning" challenges; 13. Establish a "Purchase of Development Rights" program; and 14. Identify sources of funding for farmland preservation. In addition, AFT's legal and policy staff can: 15. Conduct an assessment of the fiscal benefits of a county's (or municipality's) agricultural lands, including the tax impacts of agriculture vs. growth; 16. Set up demonstration farmland preservation projects; 17: Negotiate conservation easements and bargain sales, as well as sale/sale back (with development restrictions) and sale/lease back arrangements with landowners; 18. Encourage estate planning to protect farmlands; 19. Provide case studies from around the country on how private, voluntary land conservation measures have helped protect farms in the face of growth pressures; 20. Provide information on successful resource-conserving farming practices that farmers can adopt to help the environment; and 21. Establish sustainable agriculture demonstration projects and programs. / These services, of course, do not come for free. AFT rates are $600 per person per day for legal counsel, $500 per person per day for senior management staff, $400 per personper day for project directors/specialists, and $250 per day for support staff, plus expenses. - Page 3 There is, however, more than one way to pay for these services. For example, a government agency seeking AFT's assistance can obtain these services by 1. Contracting directly with AFT, using agency, county or state funds; 2. Contracting with AFT, using a "challenge grant" from the agency, county or state to cover half the project costs and attract donations from private sources for the balance of the costs; or 3. Writing a letter of invitation to AFT stating the services you would like to obtain, the need for the services, and the benefit the services will provide. We can then take this letter to private funding sources to raise the funds necessary to cover our costs. If you wish, we can even help you draft this letter so it will have the maximum chance of success in helping us raise funds. Of course, no services can be provided until the funds are raised -- but this is one way in which budget limitations can be overcome. AFT would be delighted to work with you to preserve Collier County's farmland. Should you have any questions -- or need any assistance -- please let me know. I look forward to being able to work with you. Sincerely, 4 �,,/,,,c-3`_-e✓-6c,z--7 Craig Evans Senior Associate for Program Development CE/dd enclosure cc: Frank Butts, Community Development Administrator URBAN/ESTATES DISTRICT NARRATIVE STATEMENT Within the zone identified by EPTAB as Collier County ' s urban/estates area , numerous tracts of wooded wetland , sandridge, xeric scrub and other native vegetation contribute to a setting extremely attractive for human habitation. As coastal wetland protection strategies have been largely successful , forcing development onto more "upland" coastal areas , these natural areas are under heavy development pressure. Conservation and protection efforts are needed to preserve these areas that provide a high quality human environment . We feel the most effective way of protecting these areas is through a combination of acquisition of property outright or of certain property rights , regulations and traditional zoning. Residential , commercial , transportation and resort developments cover most of the existing landscape in urban Collier County. There are few large, relatively uninterrupted tracts , of natural vegetation remaining . However , we identified distinct sites that are in need of protection . These include: ( 1 ) Lands adjacent to Rookery Bay Aguatic Preserve Undeveloped property adjoining this unique wetland/upland preserve should be added to maintain the integrity of this largest uninterrupted tract of native vegetation within the urban zone. Acquisition would enhance existing education programs as well as protect ecosystem fintior.r L.rt=v=ial atLenLion should be paid to the Henderson Creek headwater area. ( 2) Gordon River Headwaters Due to the importance of native fisheries to the economy and aesthetics of Collier County , the wetland and upland fringes of this urban-locked area , yet still functioning system, should be preserved through a combination of purchases and regulation of current and future developments . Freshwater wetlands north of Golden Gate Parkway are important to the future of the Gordon River . This would be to the extent not already protected , or committed to be protected , under existing development orders or approvals , such as the Grey Oaks DRI . (3) Cocohatchee_River_System This meandering scenic complex of a river, forested wetlands and native shrub uplands within an urban setting should be acquired and preserved to protect one of the County ' s • last remaining natural drainages . Maintenance of wildlife values , flood protection and scenic beauty would be benefits obtained from protection including minimizing access points through the clustering and increasing setbacks from the river . Rock Road Forest. The combination of cypress swamp, hardwood hammocks and other native vegetation represents the southwest limit of the Corkscrew Ecosystem . Considerable natural functions continue in this highly developed area . The acquisition of these properties would link the proposed CREW lands and agricultural zone acquisitions . Species including Florida panthers and black bears continue to utilize these woodlands . ( 5 ) Eastern Urban/Tollgate Forest Complex As human population growth continues in Collier County the need for green space for education , recreation , watershed recharge and wildlife values will increase . The utilization of these lands as a future county recreation/education area will enhance the quality of life for residents . Other benefits of protection include reduction of congestion in the I-75/CR 951 area , and the maintenance of natural drainage features . (6) Northern Golden Gate Estates Rural and wilderness values are important to residents of this once remote part of the Big Cypress Swamp, and efforts should be made to maintain the wooded nature of this low density , sprawling, residential development . While ecosystem functions such as overland storm water natural sheet flow and fire no longer follow natural o;etterns or intensities . couviderab1e i-a'ui' -. persist . Many species of wildlife, from bobcats and bobwhite, to gray fox and indigo snakes , have maintained residence in this highly altered area . Regulations governing the amounts of clearing permitted on north estates lots should be adopted to protect vegetation and wildlife communities that quickly disappear in most housing developments , and with complete build-out of the estates , will be lost here as well . We suggest the adoption of a 100 ft. set-back at the rear of each north estate lot that would prevent clearing or building. The resultant network of forested corridors would allow the persistance of some natural wildlife and vegetation communities and could connect ( from a wildlife movement stand point) , CREW lands with the proposed urban recreation lands . ( 7) Xeric Habitat Protection Collier County represents the southern-most North American limits of several xeric vegetative communities . Specifically, sand pine scrub, oak scrub and scrubby flatwoods are found nowhere else in North America south . of Collier County . The scrub areas contain unique plant and animal species that are exceedingly rare in South Florida . In addition, the high elevation and well-drained soils of scrub areas make them attractive for development . Further , these lands represent valuable, irreplaceable resourses from scientific , ecologic and aesthetic perspectives . Thus , because of the aforementioned reasons, all xeric habitats in the county require protection via regulation . (8 ) Pelican Bay The existing preserve land dominated by mangrove should continue to receive vigorous county protection from degradation and loss of function . The 570-acre Clam Bay system , owned by Collier County, is an example of how the regulating and zoning process may result in the conservation of a viable wetlands system. /724077oi✓ / EPTAB 8/12/91 AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING OBJECTIVES General Provide an acceptable location for current and future agricultural production. - Insure that agriculture is undertaken in a manner that is internally sustainable (e.g., adequate soils, available water, financially feasible) while not unacceptably altering area or regional water quality, quantity, and surface flows. To the degree ecologically and economically reasonable, protect any critical, unique, or special species, habitat, or natural system. Specific - Insure that Lake Trafford can continue to fluctuate among its historic natural conditions. Protect "minority" and special features native habitats that are not already adequately protected or existent elsewhere in the County. Examples: xeric scrub, a specimen hardwood hammock or cypress dome. - Protect the essential historic functions and primary values of the Corkscrew/Bird Rookery, Okaloacoochee, and Camp Keis sloughs, and the Addison Bay headwaters. Encourage future agricultural crop expansions in this district while not exacerbating coastal saltwater intrusion. Prevent the encroachment of wells/wellfields for water export to other geographic areas without first protection of the district's landowners' current and future access to reasonable irrigation water. Protect several key habitat"islands"between major slough systems and, to the degree reasonable, link these into mini-corridors of low intensity agriculture (crops, trees, or pasture) and remaining natural or semi-natural habitats. Protect from flooding farms and residential areas built on uplands according to then existent governmental regulations. Insure agricultural wastes do not adversely affect the attainment of the preceding objectives and that the agricultural district does not become the waste disposal locale of the County to the detriment of the ecological and economic integrity of the district. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD MINUTES OF MEETING 12 AUGUST 1991 Members present: Dave Addison Gary Beardsley Mike Davis David Land David Maehr Steve Means Tony Pires Larry Richardson Glenn Simpson David Wilkison Members absent: Michael Saadeh 1. Meeting called to order at 4 : 06 P.M. by Glenn Simpson. 2 . Minutes of 5 August 1991 meeting were approved. 3 . The Chairman explained a few housekeeping changes and asked that the meetings start and stop on time. He also requested that minutes be more detailed and asked Bill Lorenz to see if arrangements could be made. A general discussion was held concerning the meeting room and the formal nature of meeting in the board room. 4 . The Chairman explained how the County had been divided into the separate areas. He stated that it had been done based on what influences the habitat. The boundary lines represent a transition from one influence type to another and could range in width from one to ten miles. 5. Barbara Prynowski, Project Review Services, presented an overview of mechanisms used by the County for environmental protection and some of the problems associated with the current methodologies. 6. Gary Beardsley proposed that EPTAB needs to formulate a position on what the County should look like in the next 10-25 years. David Land stated that a part of the "picture" however it may be proposed, should take cumulative effects of many small projects into consideration. There may be more impacts from many small projects than from one large project. Glen Simpson discussed a need for all to live within the resources rather than trying to conquer them. 7 . David Land handed out and explained the thinking behind a list of Environmental Planning objectives for the County as a whole and for the agricultural area more specifically. He felt that this could be a starting point or touchstone for further objectives. Gary Beardsley stated that the objectives found in the Growth Management Plan, especially the Conservation and Coastal Management Element, should also be viewed as a very important touchstone that has already received BCC endorsement. 8 . Bill Lorenz discussed an Action Plan for going before the BCC with a Land Acquisition question to be placed on the March 92 ballot. 9 . Chairman Simpson asked that all subcommittees consider "earmarking" important areas within their respective purviews for presentation to the Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting. 10. Chairman Simpson created a subcommittee to deal with an "Environmental Protection Acquisition Program" and appointed Mike Davis, David Land and Tony Pires to that subcommittee. 11. The next meeting was scheduled for 26 August 1991 at 4 : 00 P.M. in Building H, Room 215, Courthouse Complex. 12 . Meeting was adjourned by Chairman Simpson at 6: 06 P.M.

The County must expect to reasonably share in the provision of food, clothing, shelter, recreation, and related support systems consistent with our population, resource base, and environmental sensitivity. 2. Essential natural systems should be maintained at a functional level whereby the County can continue to contribute to the provision of its reasonable share of food, clothing, shelter, recreational, and related support systems. 3. To the degree ecologically and economically reasonable, all types of species, habitats, and systems currently found in the County should continue to be found in the County indefinitely. This does not imply that all species, habitats, and systems must be maintained at their current populations or a real extent, but rather that sustainable populations or areas should be maintained somewhere in the County. 4. While it is not necessary to have all types of species, habitats, and systems in all parts of the County, it is desirable to have some sustainable natural habitats or systems in all areas of the County, to include the Urban Designated Area. 5. There should be some degree of human access to and recreational use of at least some of the natural habitats and systems in the County. _ L •44.f Trtl& AMS 30 1991 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY yWt Ut irt. wl, E RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING 46i ii ?

Meeting called to order at 4 : 08 P.M. by Chairman Simpson. 2 . Minutes of 12 August 1991 meeting were approved. 3 . Simpson called for the three subcommittee reports: A. URBAN/ESTATES SUBCOMMITTEE Mike Davis reported the following: 1. Several large areas in the urban area were still available as corridors/greenspace. 2 . County Project Review staff should look at the "big picture" when performing project reviews so as to take contiguous parcels into account. 3 . THe following areas were identified as important: a. Rookery Bay & Henderson Creek headwaters (Urban/Wilderness crossover/connection) b. Gordon River extension (City/County crossover/connection) c. Clam Bay system d. Cocohatchee/Palm River Slough e. Area west and north of the Naples landfill f. Area north of Rattlesnake Hammock road, west of 951 and south of Davis Blvd. g. Immokalee airport h. Lake Trafford area i. Rock road and Immokalee Road area Next step is to refine and look at these areas on a smaller scale. Subcommittee will I.D. additional areas and determine criteria for their region as well as methodologies for acquiring the "green pockets" and corridors. B. AGRICULTURAL SUBCOMMITTEE Glenn Simpson reported that: 1. Some lands are available for purchase but the vast majority of the desirable areas are strips in the middle of ongoing operations and that most operations would be reluctant to part with these. 2 . The ag area in the southwestern portion of the county (near Belle Meade and Henderson Creek headwaters) is not good habitat. Simpson felt that money should not be spent to acquire this area but that regulations could be promulgated to maintain the rural nature of the area and the hydrological connections. Gary Beardsley did not agree with the statement that no valuable habitat was present and also expressed the notion that those lands were critical to the well being of the coastal area and Rookery Bay. All agreed that perhaps the area was a candidate for a restoration project. 3 . The overall theme espoused by Simpson's subcommittee was that current ag lands should remain as ag lands. C. WILDERNESS SUBCOMMITTEE Larry Richardson presented the following: 1. Most of the wilderness lands are in the southern and eastern portions of the county. The subcommittee formulated several environmental policy objectives and a narrative statement of the overall goal (s) of preserving wilderness habitat. 2 . The greatest threat to the wilderness area is alteration to its hydrology. 3 . List of preservation tasks: a. Purchase of the south blocks of Golden Gate Estates b. Purchase of Belle Meade area c. Divert some of the Gordon River water from the Golden Gate Canal system to the Faka-Union system d. Put in a spreader swale system south of US 41 e. Upgrade the weir system in the Barron River canal f. Plug certain canals in the Faka-Union system g. Encourage a water management district master plan h. Improve wet season flows from Catherine 's Island, Stumpy Strand and Lucky Lake Strand i. Clustering development along SR 29; N. of I-75 will most likely impact the panthers; S. of I-75 not expected to be a problem. Next meeting established for 9 September 1991 Meeting adjourned at 6: 14 P.M. n NARRATIVE STATEMENT (Wilderness District) The Wilderness District, a designation established by EPTAB, is composed of lands primarily in the southeast portion of Collier County. It is intended that this designation only imply the predominant nature of the majority of lands within this area of the county; and not infer, in any way, legal constraints on other activities such as agriculture or development. The Wilderness District currently holds lands in their most natural state, as compared to the Urban and Agricultural districts; and in much greater quantities. Among the undeveloped lands, most would be classified. as wetlands of cypress and mixed hardwood swamps, prairies of sawgrass and other hydric vegetation, relatively small marshes and lakes. Coastal wetlands are dominantly mangrove areas. Uplands are predominantly pinelands and palmetto, and mesio; prairies. These two major habitat types are often interspersed and in close association with one another. • Past land management practices have had their greatest adverse impact on this region of Collier County primarily through changes in surface and ground water hydrology. Canals built since the 40's, and extensively since the 60's have been responsible for these changes. Even subtle changes in hydrology have, over time, changed the natural floral composition of native communities. These changes have also altered wildlife populations; forcing some species to decline and allowing others to increase. This subcommittee has the general goal of preserving wilderness values indigenous to Collier County. To do this the subcommittee has specific goals to develop policy recommendations which would insure the protection of native habitats, fauna and flora, both endangered species and otherwise, and public use opportunities; to identify key functions currently operating in the natural environment within this subdivision; and to establish objectives which are consistent with the above goals and the Growth Management Plan. ..._. _ } NATURE IN MIN IATuRE A solitary palm tree can provide support for many BY JOHN HART 1 When conservationists talk ranges in color from bright green to flat about habitat,very often we ibrown.The bark anole,a non-native are discussing the preservation species,is patterned with varying shades of large tracts of land that serve as home of brown,gray,black and white. to wildlife,especially endangered Red-shouldered hawks,great- r species.But habitats can be quite small. homed owls and other birds of prey will Left unpruned,a single cabbage palm " qtr, " nest in the tops of larger specimens. tree,sometimes called a sable palm,may -, ,„a. 3'4, Rodents will make nests in the top of support,at least in part,a small commu- ;' cabbage palms as well. nity of plants and animals.

Meeting called to order at 4 : 08 P.M. by Chairman Glenn Simpson. 2 . Chairman Simpson asked that the minutes be more detailed. Bill Lorenz stated that minutes will not be able to be more detailed unless transcribed by the Clerk of Courts at a cost of $100/meeting hour. A general discussion ensued as to how to get more details without causing hardships to the staff and without incurring great cost. A suggestion was made that EPTAB members could supplement the minutes with detailed accounts of those areas which they feel important. 3 . Chairman Simpson stated that he felt the minutes of 26 August were not factually correct and he wanted to listen to the tapes before he could approve them. A consensus was reached to delay approval of said minutes until next meeting. 4 . Bill Lorenz outlined his approach for obtaining BCC approval to initiate a County Land Acquisition Program. He would like to be on the Board agenda for the 17 September. He also noted that Valerie Boyd, SFWMD Governing Board, will be on the same agenda to request funding for the CREW Trust. Mike Saadeh reported that SFWMD offered to fly EPTAB over the CREW area to enable them a better understanding of the CREW project, and to enable the EPTAB to see how all the lands fit together in the County "jigsaw puzzle" . 5. Mr. Lorenz also noted that the Annual Collier County Public Survey contained a question relating to land acquisition: "An increase of 1/4 mill for five years is an acceptable way to purchase environmentally sensitive wetlands. " The results showed 41. 6% agree, 39 . 6% disagree, 18% no opinion. 6. Chairman Simpson expressed his feelings that three areas in the County need protection: 1) Saltwater wetlands; 2) Freshwater wetlands; 3) Scrub habitats. 7 . Gary Beardsley expressed concern that acquisition only one prong of GMP and he hoped that EPTAB would tackle some of the other issues in the GMP. Chairman Simpson assured him that all of the other mandates in the GMP will be examined by EPTAB. -1- 8 . Gary Beardsley also brought up a need to be as simplistic as possible in the presentation to the BCC. David Maehr responded that the Mission Statement of EPTAB would be direct and in simple language. Hopefully, the statement will be ready for discussion by the next meeting. In response to Mr. Beardsley's suggestion, EPTAB made several suggestions as to how to improve the wording in the Executive Summary that Mr. Lorenz wishes to present to the BCC on the 17th. 9 . Mike Davis made a motion to give approval to Mr. Lorenz to proceed with the agenda item for the 17th if the changes suggested by EPTAB are incorporated. This was seconded by Tony Pires and unanimously approved. 10. The next item of business was a presentation by Dave Addison on the Status Report of the Agriculture Subcommittee. A general discussion of the refinement of and how to accomplish the proposed goals ensued. 11.

The northeastern quadrant of the County contains by far the greatest concentration of agricultural operations . The smaller area in which agricultural operations are centered is in the southwestern portion of the County northeast of U.S. 41 between S . R. 951 and S . R. 92. The lands included in the agricultural operations represent a mosaic of landscapes . They vary from relatively undisturbed natural systems to intensively farmed areas containing truck crops and citrus groves to much less closely managed rangeland which is utilized for cattle . The natural systems within the agricultural areas include : cypress and mixed swamp forests , wet prairies , marshes , Lake Trafford , pine flatwoods , hydric pinewoods , scrub , and hardwood hammocks . The growing requirements of the crops produced in the agricultural areas coupled with the permitting process present an excellent opportunity to maintain existing flowways and , with thoughtful planning , provide wildlife habitat to include wildlife corridors . It is with these objectives in mind and their consistency with the goals of the Growth Management Plan that the agriculture committee evaluated its options with respect to maintaining ecosystem functions within the agricultural areas . 1 AGRICULTURE AREA SUBCOMMITTEE Planning Objectives September 9, 1991 I . Hydrological Connections A. Maintain flowways in lands identified in the C. R.E .W. Save Our Rivers Project to include connector to the Florida Panther Wildlife National Wildlife Refuge . B. Maintain flowway in Ocalawaycoochee area . C. Improve water management systems in southern agricultural area in order to enhance surface water flow into adjacent wetlands . D. Evaluate east—west surface water connectors in northern agricultural area . E. Insure that future agricultural expansions do not exacerbate coastal saltwater intrusion . F. Prevent the encroachment of wells/wellfields for water export to other geographic areas without reasonable protection of existing wetlands and of the landowner' s current and future access to reasonable irrigation water . II . Maintaining wildlife corridors . A. Protect remaining native uplands which are in agricultural areas. B. Maintain a mosaic of rangeland and adjacent native habitats . C. Identify existing agricultural lands which are being allowed to return to native vegetation (abandoned farm fields) . D. Insure that existing agricultural lands remain in agriculture . E. Protect several key habitat islands between major slough systems and , to the degree possible , link these into mini— corridors of low intensity agriculture (crop , trees , or pasture) and remaining natural or semi—natural habitats . F. Purchase conservation easements, development rights in crucial wetland areas , particularly those adjacent to identified wildlife corridors. Other restrictions/techniques could also be incorporated in surface water management permits . Forestry activities could be managed by participation in the the Forestry Stewardship Program. III . Maintain viable wildlife populations . A. Determine required • width of wildlife corridors particularly in areas utilized by large mammals in areas where they are already constricted . B. Identify valuable isolated small native habitat islands . C. Insure that existing wildlife corridors are maintained . cl4/o6r RESOLUTION NO. 91- 632 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TERMS OF OFFICE FOR MEMBERS OF THE COLLIER COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD WHEREAS, Collier County Ordinance No. 91-26 creating the Collier County Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board provides that the Board shall consist of nine (9) members; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners on June 18, 1991 adopted Collier County Ordinance No. 91-48 which amends Ordinance No. 91-26 by providing that the Collier County Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board shall consist of eleven (11) members; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners on May 28, 1991 adopted Resolution No. 91-433 appointing the eleven (11) members to the Collier County Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board; and WHEREAS, Resolution No. 91-433 provides that the Board of County Commissioners by separate Resolution shall approve the initial terms of office for the members of the Collier County Environmental Policy Technical Advisory Board.

A brief discussion on the Habitat Protection Ordinance (HPO) was held. A suggestion was approved to devote the meeting of 14 October to this item. EPTAB members were asked to review all prior materials on the HPO for this meeting. 3 . Gary Beardsley noted that he had contacted Craig Evans of the American Farmland Trust. He stated that Mr. Evans will be in Florida for a workshop in Dade County on 18 October and would be able to come to Collier to speak with EPTAB and any other interested members of the public on 16 October 1991. EPTAB members agreed tat they would like to meet with the AFT representative on that date. Mr. Addison will investigate the possibility of utilizing The Conservancy, Inc. 's meeting space for a "brown bag" luncheon meeting. 4 . Mr. Beardsley also suggested that a member of EPTAB be at the workshop in Dade County on the 18th and requested that reimbursement for member expenses be procured. Mr. Lorenz stated that he would initiate the application for prior BCC approval of expenses as stipulated in the enabling ordinance. The issue of funding also elicited a brief discussion of alternative funding sources which included the possibility of contributions from the private sector. This issue will need to be explored further. 4 . Dr. Bill Branan of The Conservancy, Inc. presented a computerized graphic demonstrating a first attempt at delineating the areas in the county which meet the criteria for land acquisition. He also outlined the initial criteria for inclusion on the map. He stated a cost estimate from 400 to 100, 000/ acre depending on the individual characteristics of each piece.
