schedule. A breakdown was provided of staff time, costs and
schedule for the various Ordinances, LDC amendments and related
programs.
GB-Questioned the time and priorities assigned to the Manatee
Protection Plan as weighed against other projects and priorities.
FS+BL responded by indicating that the BCC directed that a high
priority be assigned and provided funding in order to meet the
FDNR requirements for an approved MPP.
GB-Cited a delay in the Collier County deadline of requirements
for the MPP and questioned the delay.
DL-Inquired as to how the MPP would be funded and whether or not
grant funds were available.

as to the adequacy of these estimates and whether or not
additional funds may be required.

Sea Turtle Natural Resource protection policies due date for
Sept. 1 and the estimated costs to pursue the development
ordinance quorum for inlet management.

feasibility can't predict the potential costs, however the cost
would eventually escalate in time, therefore it would be prudent
to plan to implement timely cost benefits.
JN-Expressed interest in the staff time cost of implementation
and how changes could be imparted on the cost.
JN-Wildlife, beach nourishment, are gray areas in the Coastal
Element whereas, parking spaces is an area which can be clearly
identified for implementation.
GB-Sees a need to depict a 'big picture ' plan for Collier County
Comp Plan and move readily on implementation.
JN-BCC appreciates realistic costs associated with the breakdown
of the development costs and anticipate any amendments to the
Comp Plan to be justified.
Public-MPP has been received well but the allocation of staff
time for this particular project may be at the expense of other
areas of concern.
BL-Also included in the MPP boat survey are other concerns such
as sea grass, manatee habitat protection-as in a manatee refuge
per se, and marina site locations. All of which dovetail in with
the MPP.
DL-Suggested a computer model to synthesize the variables of
monitoring, enforcement management, private, public costs should
be considered in the implementation of the MPP.
JN-Questions the County' s role in the 'No Wake ' designation for
waters of the state.
Public Eileen Arsenault-Asked if volunteers could be utilized for
some tasks related to the CZMP.
BL-Agreed that the volunteer program works well and is gathering
momentum especially in assistance preparing several amendments
for NRPA designations (eagle habitat, and MPP) .
BL-Collier County is providing important resource related
information to the public, including new residents through the
telego survey which identifies issues such as property rights,
water management, any changes to the Comprehensive Growth
Management Plan and effects to the public and private sector.
DM-Finished business, end public hearing.
