Amendment to the Collier County Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual [Eric Fey] Minutes approval Mn Mitchell moved to appruve the minutes of the Subcommittee meeting, Second by Mr. D un n avant. C anie d un animo us ly. Mr. f,'ey and Mr. Chmelik presented the following documents: o "Collier Coungt Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual Update" o " Table of Revisions " o "Technical Specifications " c "Collier County W'dter-Sewer District Utilities Department Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Enhancements " c " Collier County lI/ater-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual Update - Changes from 5/2 I /201 8 to 5/30/20 I 8 " They noted the revised Utilities Standards Manual is a culmination of 3 years work and is a product of input from Staff, Consultants and the Subcommifiee. J June 6,2018 Committee discussion ensued with Subcommittee Members voicing concem on the process for developing the proposed changes to the Manual. The format for the process does not promote adequate input from the public and the Subcommittee has no voting power for any proposed recommended changes. Additional comments noted: As an example, following the May 21,2018 Subcommittee meeting, Staff disseminated the final draft with changes made outside the meeting24 - 48 hours before the DSAC meeting. A 60 day comment period should be implemented. The process does not allow ample time for interested parties or Subcommittee to review the new changes (i.e. "Collier County llater-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual Update - Changes from 5/21/2018 to 5/30/2018") and provide comments. . Another issue brought to light by some consultants is Staff may be enforcing the proposed requirements before they have been implemented and the standards should not become effective for 30 - 60 days after adoption. r The System Resiliency Enhancements Section ofthe "Collier County llater-Sewer District Utilities Department Critical Inflastructule Resiliency Enhancements " contain many features that impact landscaping and may need to be reviewed by those in the industry. Mr. Chmelik and Mr. Fey noted: . There were monthly discussion groups scheduled (convened approximately 50 percent of the time) which sought input on the changes and were open to the public. o One option is to retum the documents to the Subcommittee for further review and allow a 60 day comment period as requested. . They are not aware of Staff implementing any standards before they have been adopted. . Many of the items identified in the landscaping portions of the "Collier County Water-Sewer District Utilities Department Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Enhancements" ate clarifi cations of existing requirements. The Committee noted it may be feasible to recommend the standards be adopted subject to a further review of certain areas of the "Collier County ll/ater-Sewer District Utilities Department Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Enhancements " and "Collier County llater-Sev,er District Utilities Standards Manual Update - Changes from 5/21/2018 to 5/30/2018") and allow Staff to move forward with their endeavor. Mr. Mitchell moved to recommend the Board of Counly Commissioners incorporate "Collier County lYater-Sewer District Ulilities Department Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Enhancements" into the proposed Collier Counlt Water-Sewer District Utilities Standards Manual Upd e subject to the following:1. Incorporating ltems 1 - 5 listed as "Applicable lo exisling waslewdler pump (lift) stations." 2. Incorporating Items 1- 4 listed as "Applicable to new w stewater pump (hft) slalions." 3.

Mr. Summers and Mr. Frantz presented the proposed amendment noting: o There are no changes to the version reviewed at the May 2,2018 DSAC meeting, however the map "Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Evacuation Routes " is provided for information purposes based on questions from the previous meeting on the locations impacted by the proposed requirement. o The Collier County Planning Commission recommended the proposed amendment be adopted. Committee discussion occurred noting: o The designations (State, Federal, etc.) ofthe various evacuation routes are not clear on the map. o The names of some roads are not identified on the document and it is not clear which locations will be impacted by the proposed amendment.
