. Deferral Program is available to providers/developers of affordable housing
. County's Master Plan's goal: 1,000 affordable units to be built per year or 25% of

Commissioners asking the County to financially assist to stabilize the
neighborhood which has suffered from a significant nwnber offoreclosures
. H&HS will assess the situation to determine if resources are available
. Concern: the HOA is $100,000 in arrears on collection of dues from homeowners
. 60 units of the 218 in the development are income-qualified (community is mixed
income)
. Proposed: the County buy any unit that is in foreclosure or about to enter
foreclosure and then lease the property back to the homeowner at an affordable
rental in order for the homeowner to re-establish credit
. The proposal called for the operating and administrative expenses to be paid from
NSP funds - which is not allowed under the terms of the Grant
Discussion ensued concerning new FHA guidelines, effective in January, 2010, which
will make condos more difficult to finance. It was suggested the Botanical Place HOA
contact the Foreclosure Consortium Task Force concerning predatory lending mortgages.
Also discussed development of a strategy to acquire a multi-family property, i.e., a small
HOA, which the County could buy and then sell/give to a non-profit to rent and manage.
Public Speakers:
Elsie Pickering, Naples resident since 1997, questioned the definition of "affordable housing"
and how average workers could afford the mortgage to purchase a property of $88,000 or more.
Marcy Krumbine explained HUD standards allow only 30% of gross income to be used when
qualifying for a mortgage. Mortgage amount + buyer's down payment and closing costs =
purchase price of property. She further stated the average wage in Collier County is $30,000.
Stan Swihart, M.D, Vice President of Habitat for Humanity, stated Habitat is definitely
interested in participating in the NSP and stated the AHAC should lower its standards to reach
more people in Collier County who want to own a home. He stated buyer's mortgage payment
for a Habitat home priced at $125,000 would be approximately $650 per month, including
principal, interest, taxes and insurance. He further stated Habitat has completed 36 rehabs
already and could assist with "efficiency of scale."
Frank Ramsey stated Habitat has received $1.4M from the County to acquire foreclosed
properties for rehab, and if the County is awarded the NSP-2 Grant of $1 OM, it would welcome
the opportunity to partner with Habitat. He pointed out that Habitat was selected to apply for its
own NSP-2 Grant funding in recognition of Habitat's successful track record.
Marcy Krumbine pointed out Habitat's business model relies on volunteers and donations from
the public. The County and Habitat accomplish the same thing in different ways.
Kathy Patterson, Collier County Housing Development Corporation, commented that HOC

domestic and orange for international travel.

COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disasters) Discussion
Per Reg Buxton, all members present today were part of last Friday's advertised meeting. The group agrees to put together a book of
volunteer organizations in the area. Jerry Welty from Red Cross will be checking with Debbi Johnson to begin this process. Reg will
contact Jerry and Joe Frazier to get this going. Will formalize this plan at our next meeting. Russ will also get together with Joe to
decide if a meeting will be held prior to the November Citizen Corps meeting.
LMS (Local Mitigation Strategy) Plan
Because there is no quorum, Rick Zyvoloski could not get a vote on the LMS plan. There was discussion of the plan - Walt asked why
$250k was being spent to put screens on a glass building in Marco. Rick explained that a public notice goes out for these meetings and
if someone wants to do a project worksheet, they can certainly present it to the LMS Group. The Citizen Corps is the parent
organization to the Local Mitigation Strategy program - Reg is the representative from the Citizen Corps. Rick has several folks who
have gotten mitigation dollars. Jim said the screens on this building will bring it from 111 mph wind sustained to 160 mph, and that this
particular grant requires a 25% match from Marco. Rick shared the LMS form that needs to be filled out, as well as the success stories
for money received. The group reviews and scores the requests - grant paperwork is a bigjob. ThrvllSC''lSOri'eS:weighted. $1 million was
returned on the grant last year. The next LMS meeting will be held on November 20'h at the Regional Library next door. All are
welcome to attend. If you want to be a voting member, you must make a commitment to attend th'Gitll~arterly meetings. The State is

Membership
Walt, Reg and Jerry Sanford are being re-nominated by their sponsoring organizations for new terms - RSVP needs to fill their position,
vacated by Gerry Sugarman. Floyd Chapin will finish his term, and his organization (CERV) will nominate a new representative.
Congratulations and many thanks to Floyd for his service to the committee.
Discussion followed that we need to re-energize both voting and non-voting members to attend the meetings. Do we need to change the
dates or times~' it was agreed at one point that the third Wednesday at 3 p.m. worked for folks. Jim will put together a letter to all
members for Reg's signature. Walt mentioned we may want to get speakers to entice attendance.
Old Business
No discussion.
Other
Jerry Sanford shared pictures of the Freedom Memorial from two weeks ago. You can now see the lower part of the U.S. has been
poured. Less than $250k has been spent - the rest of the memorial is the expensive part. Now that something is up, it is hoped that it
will be easier to collect money for the completion. There are two signs in the area with the conceptual picture. They are thinking about
a contest with the area children to put something on the wall. There will be a golf tournament on January 2, 20 I 0 at Naples Beach
Hotel, with the proceeds going toward the Freedom Memorial. Cost is $115 per person.
North Naples Fire Department has started another CERT class with 16 new students and 6 students re-taking the classes.
Dan Summers reported that Emergency Management is monitoring the State and FEMA activities and changes. Everything is moving
along - we need to stay up on technology issues.
Next Meeting/Adjourn
Next meeting is scheduled for November 18th at 3 p.m. at the ESC building. Motion to adjourn the meeting at 3:50 p.m. made by Reg

"1 Participate" initiative
As the economic divide widens, state and local budget cuts soar and more Florida families tighten their purse strings,
volunteers are laboring in your community to close the gaps and help rebuild lives.
The tremendous value of service and volunteering on the nation's future prosperity and addressing unmet needs in these
tough economic times has captured the attention of newsrooms across America.
The four major networks - ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX - teamed up to spotlight the power of service and volunteering in
their top-rated primetime television shows from October 19-26. The unprecedented initiative, "1 Participate," is led by the
Entertainment Industry Foundation (ElF) in collaboration with the Corporation for National and Community Service
(CNCS), the federal agency whose mission is to promote service and volunteering.
More than 60 of television's most popular shows - including 30 Rock, Desperate House Wives, CS/: New York, and
Grey's Anatomy- have agreed to infuse service and volunteer messages in their shows, and the list keeps growing.
Please help spread the word about this innovative initiative!

The notice proposes new PS-Prep slandards to enhance operational resilience, business conlinuily managemenl, and
disasler and emergency management among participaling private sector partners.
The proposed slandards, developed by the Nalional Fire Proleclion Association, the Brilish Standards Inslilulion and Ihe
ASIS Inlernational, were selected based on their scalability, balance of interesl and relevance to PS-Prep from a group of
25 slandards proposed for consideration following Ihe publication of a Federal Register nolice in December 2008
announcing Ihe program.
In addition to the standards in the notice posted loday, DHS is establishing classifications and methods of certifications

grants. The folks doing the vulnerability analysis have had a staffreduction, so it won't be ready. Rick reviewed and highlighted the 31
projects which are success stories and completed projects. Any grant applications must be completed by the individual or group. We
have turned monies away. The Feds don't recognize protecting just shelters, which has tied our hands. The whole building must be
done, Le., not just the gym area. The LMS is a strategy, not a plan. The meetings are open to anyone, and you can become a'voting
member as long as you are committed to attending the quarterly meetings. There will be a new member at this Friday's meeting,
someone from the building industry.

HINI Update
Maria Bemaldo from the Health Department handed out information regarding the H1Nl virus. Activity was down during the 11/l-II/7
time period. Vaccination for high-risk population is being done now general population will begin soon (no date set). Walt asked why
there is a cut-off age of 65+. Per Maria, that group was exposed when they were younger and have the antibodies to fIght this. The
vaccination clinics will be held through January and February of2010. Lee County ran out of the vaccine one day - Collier County has
not had that problem. There was a question regarding adverse reaction - the only thing noticed is soreness around the injection site.
Locations for the vaccine are the North Collier Regional Park and the former K-Mart on East 41. Rick said Collier cases are not as
widespread, they are more sporadic.
Resource Book
There is still interest in this project, and Joe Frazier said we have some money to put it together. Jerry Welty from the Red Cross spoke

Season of Suppers Campaiqn
For pets and their parents alike, hunger can become a mutual afflictio n. Pet parents have been known to forego their own
dinner so their furry companions can eat. That is why the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) and the
Banfield Charitable Trust have teamed up to help ensure that pets and their people both get what they need this holiday
season. Pets of many MOWAA recipients are in need of nutritious food and the Season of Suppers campaign helps local
Meals on Wheels programs start or sustain pet food distribution programs to feed the pets of their homebound clients. The
2009 Season of Suppers Campaign runs November 1 through December 31.
Grants and Funding
Is your preparedness program taking part in the $40,000 DARPA Network Challenge?
It has come to our attention that Citizen Corps Councils and partner programs around the U.S. are considering taking on
the DARPA Network Challenge. This competition was created to explore the roles played by the Internet and social
networking in timely communication, wide-area team-building, and urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope,
time-critical problems. The specific goal of the challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of ten red weather
balloons posted at 10 fixed sites in the continental U.S. on December 5th. The first entrant to present the latitude and
longitude of all ten balloons will win $40,000. As we have seen in recent disasters and incidents such as the Virginia Tech
shootings, 2009 California Wildfires, and Hurricane Ike, information sharing among citizens through social networking has
been beneficial to both responders and the public. This challenge is a great way to demonstrate how local and regional
resources can share time-sensitive information, network, and collaborate to achieve a common goal. If you are
participating, please send an email with your story to citizencorQs(1i)dhs.qov so we can share the successes and hurdles
you encounter as you organize and participate in this challenge. For more information on the DARPA Network Challenge,

Subject: H1 N1 Caller Update - Please Read
The majority of the calls seem to be from people 65 years of age and older who mayor may not have
an underlying health condition and are VERY interested in getting an H1 N1 (Swine) flu shot. Please
continue to share the following information:
. We are continuing to vaccinate ONLY the people who are in the highest risk groups: (pregnant
women; parents and caregivers to children under 6 months of age; individuals between 6 months
of age and 24 years of age; individuals between 25 and 64 years of age with underlying health
conditions including asthma, diabetes, heart disease, weakened immune systems, etc.; and
healthcare and emergency services workers who have direct patient care).
. People 65 years of age and older DO NOT YET fit the risk categories that we are allowed to
vaccinate. Even if they have a serious health condition and have a doctor's note, we CAN NOT
vaccinate them at this time! HOWEVER, we want to be able to vaccinate them as soon as
possible. As soon as we are given the okay by the State office and the Centers for Disease
Control to vaccinate them - we will! (Note, many of these callers do have serious health
conditions; the fear they exhibit and the stories they tell can be heart-breaking. Sometimes their
fear comes out as anger - try to remain caring and kind and don't take their anger personally).
. People who do not fit the current risk categories can stay updated with our clinic dates and times,
as well as who is eligible to be vaccinated by either calling our phone message line: 252-8200
and choosing option 2 or logging onto wwwCollierPrepares.org and clicking the H1N1 Vaccine
Clinic information in the upper left hand corner.
Upcoming Community Vaccination Clinics for High Risk Individuals (as listed above) include:
Thursday, November 19th from 10 am - 6 pm at North Collier Regional Park Exhibit Hall. 15000
Livingston Road, Naples. FL 34119
Monday, November 23rd from 10 am - 6 pm at North Collier Regional Park Exhibit Hall, 15000
Livingston Road, Naples, FL 34119
Tuesday, November 24th from 10 am - 6 pm at the former K-Mart location in Freedom Square at the
corner of Tamiami Trail East (Route 41) and Collier Blvd. (Route 951)
Sunday. December 6th from 10 am - 6 pm at the Immokalee Sports Complex, 505 Escambia Street.
Immokalee, FL 34142
IF any of the details above change, I will send out an update. Otherwise, please share the information
with callers. If you have specific questions. please do not hesitate to contact me at x8220.

In December 2003 we "kicked off" the redevelopment of the Local Mitigation Strategy to the
Collier County Local Mitigation Strategy. The public was invited via E-mail, newspaper
advertisements, blast-fax announcements and the world wide web
(http://www.collierqov.netJlndexaspx?paqe=1544. We invited the media, business, medical
community, other governments and governmental agencies via the same means and direct
invitation. At the "kick off" meeting, the County Manager set the tone of the initiative with a
welcoming speech. the Florida Division of Emergency Management Mitigation specialist and the
Collier county Emergency Management director explained the spirit and intent of the program
and the need to do it right as well as maintain it. See Section 1 for membership information.

November 19. 2009
The mitigation action items contained on this listing get there via the following process:
1. Either the Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group (LMSWG) member makes a pitch
to a "responsible agency" to apply for a grant to fund a mitigation initiative, or a
"responsible agency" submits a Mitigation Initiative Evaluation Score Sheet (Annex J) to
the LMSWG for consideration at a working group meeting. [NOTE: The Mitigation
Initiative Evaluation Score Sheet (Annex J) is a tool used by the LMSWG to analyze the
mitigation initiative. It forces the applicant to consider the project in light of the goals
and objectives contained within the Local Mitigation Strategy (Section 3), and it provides
an indication of the project's impact and/or value to the community. It also provides a
very basic benefit-cost analysis (BCA) on the worksheet for the applicant to complete.]
2. The "responsible agency", henceforth the applicant, will make a presentation about the
mitigation initiative to the LMSWG at either a regular or special meeting.
3. The LMSWG members have an opportunity to ask questions to the applicant regarding
the initiative as well as challenge scores and/or comments on the Mitigation Initiative
Evaluation Score Sheet (Annex J).
4. Once all issues are resolved and/or scores adjusted, the LMSWG members vote on the
initiative. If the initiative passes with a simple majority vote, the Chair will complete the
scoring process, according to the weighting factors contained in Section 4 (Procedures for
Prioritizing Hazard Mitigation Initiatives) and place the new "action item" on the listing
below in the location commensurate with the final weighted project score received.
5. Special Circumstance: Should an eligible entity have an opportunity to apply for a
mitigation grant for an initiative not previously listed on the Prioritized Listing of
Mitigation Action Items (Annex G) and not be able to apply for the grant because the
next announced LMSWG meeting would preclude timely application, this procedure
applies. The applicant will complete a project score sheet, Annex J, and submit it to the
Emergency Management Department. Emergency Management will transmit the score
sheet to the Chair. The Chair will clectronically transmit the score sheet to the voting
members of the LMSWG along with an explanation of the exigent circumstances. The
LMSWG voting members have two business-days to vote on the initiative's acceptability
to the Prioritized Listing of Mitigation Action Items. At the conclusion of the two
business-days a majority vote, with at least three votes agreeing, determines the
initiative's status. A transcript of this exception will be entered into the minutes at the
next scheduled meeting.
6. Special Rule for Initiatives Which Can't be Quantified: See Section 4, para. 4.1.4
It should be noted, either process only gets the project on the Collier County project priority
listing. The applicant still must complete the appropriate project application, including the
FEMA BCA, for appropriate grant.

CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'd like to call to order the October 21st
Contractor Licensing Board hearing.
Any person who decides to appeal a decision of this board will
need a record of the proceedings thereto and, therefore, may need to
ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record
includes that testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be
based.
Just for your knowledge, there is a court reporter here reporting
all the minutes that are going on right now.
I'd like to open the meeting with starting with roll call starting to
my right.
MR. JERULLE: Terry Jerulle.
MR. LANTZ: Kyle Lantz.
MR. L YKOS: Tom Lykos.
MR. JOSLIN: Richard Joslin.
MR. HORN: Lee Horn.
MR. WHITE: Patrick White.
MR. BOYD: Michael Boyd.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Staff, is there any additions or deletions
to the agenda?
MR. JACKSON: Good morning. Ian Jackson, Contractor
Licensing for Collier County.
Staff has an addition under new business. A Todd Grup,
G-R-U-P. And Mr. Grup is potentially going to be here to reinstate a
revoked license.
That's the only change.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What type oflicense is it; do you know?
MR. JACKSON: Mr. Grup had a cabinet installation license that
was revoked.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, no any other additions or
deletions, I'll have a motion to approve the agenda as amended.

MR. WHITE: Page 41, I note here, the top it says Mr. Mudd. I
think that more accurately should state Mr. Mullee as the name. But
other than that, it looked fine to me.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Oh, you're right. Okay.
That's all the changes, we have a motion, I need a second.
MR. L YKOS: Second, Lykos.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second.
All in favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.

MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
Under discussion, we have an end of the month report for August
and September through 2009. Members of the board, have you gone
through this and took a look at what our licensing investigators are
producing?
Mr. Ossorio, would you like to interject on this?
MR. OSSORIO: Yes, Mr. Chairman. Michael Ossorio for the
record, Contractor Licensing Supervisor.
This is the end of the month. This is actually the end of the year.
And we did the calculations and we're up about 12 percent from last
year.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Up?
MR. OSSORIO: Up 12 percent from last year to this year. So
we're up in citations, up in fines, up in renewals, up in money
returned. I think we returned over $195,000 back to consumers in a
12-month period, so we're doing quite well.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Has there been any word on the items
that we discussed at the last meeting regarding --
MR. OSSORIO: There's going to be a -- well, for licensing
purposes we're all completed. We're buttoned up, we're ready to go in
front of the Board of County Commissioners and we are on the agenda
for the November 10th meeting. I know that we might be on the
consent agenda, I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's going to be pulled. I'm
going to shoot you an e-mail letting you know that you should be
there, that it might be time certain so you don't have to stay there all
day, and so you can speak on behalf of the licensing board when the
time comes to look at our fees.
But we're ready to go. I think it's done, sealed and ready to go to
Page 4
JJ~blr 21 ,~009 .{{3
the Board of County Commissioners the 10th of November.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. I know I went to the DSAC
meeting when they had it and they pretty much didn't have anything
too derogatory to say about licensing. Everything seemed to fly right
through there.
MR. OSSORIO: Yeah, there was no problem. And I know the
DSAC also looked at the Collier County Building Department fees in
general, and they're going through one more DSAC sub-committee,
and they'll be in front of the board too as well on the 10th. So that's on
track as well.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Outstanding. Okay.
Anyone have any questions or discussion on this?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, we'll move on.
Under new business, is there a Douglas Synowsky here?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Y ou're present.
Would you please come up to the podium here and be sworn in.
(Mr. Ganguli and Mr. Synowsky were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Synowsky, I've got in front of me a
series of three violations that were given to you.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One for unlicensed floor advertising, one
for unlicensed roofing advertising, and one for unlicensed painting
advertising.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Each for -- two of them are for $300
each, and one of them is for $500.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, just for clarity, this is -- this
information is from the respondent. I'd like to go ahead and get
evidence into the packet from our office.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All right, sir.
Page 5
!eb!r 21 ,~009 ~ j
MR. OSSORIO: So you can review it at the same time.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. I'll need a motion to enter this as
Exhibit A into Douglas Synowsky's packet, please.
MR. L YKOS: So moved, Lykos.
MR. JERULLE: Second, Jerulle.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We have A motion and a second.
All in favor?
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. LYKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
We'll take just a second here to kind of review this a little bit.
Okay, Mr. Synowsky, would you like to kind of give me an
overview as far as what happened and why these tickets were issued to
you?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Well, I had a -- I have a handyman and
detailing business. I've got a license for handyman and detailing cars
and boats and all that.
This company called me up on the phone about advertising, and I
told them that I want to advertise for detailing and pressure washing
and cleaning, you know, mostly.
Well, they came up and sent these fliers out without my
permission. I never got a sample of anything in the mail of whatever
this flier is. They spelled my name wrong. Anything on this card I'm
not contracted for, I have no licenses for.
I talked to them on June 1 st and canceled everything, because I
Page 6
tgo!er 2~2009.{13
got one in the mail. And I called them right up and told them, I says,
I'm not licensed. I mean, how can you mail something out when I'm
not licensed for it?
Then on June 24th, code enforcement called me up and told me
to come in the office. So I went in the office on the 24th of June, and I
got these citations. Which I told the code enforcement, you know,
everything that was going on.
Still today they are mailing these fliers out, and I can't do nothing
about it. I got bills stating that I owe them $661 on 10/20 of this
month.
Every time I get these cards I go to code enforcement and tell
them that, you know, they're still mailing these out.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You said code enforcement, you mean
contractor licensing?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Or contractor licensing, yes. I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just to clarify that.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yeah, I go there every time I get these cards
in the mail and tell them, you know, I can't -- I don't have no control
of it. You know, I canceled it on the 1 st of June -- on the 1 st of June I
called them up and canceled this.
And I don't know what else to do. I mean, I don't have $1,100 to
pay fines. I'm not working. I'm trying to do the best I can. You
know, like I said, I go to him and -- every time they mail these out. I
got six of them already.
These ones I haven't even opened yet, but they're dated when I
got them in the mail.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Where are they producing these at? I
mean, is this a company --
MR. SYNOWSKY: This is out of Texas. This is out of Texas. I
can show you the bill.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is this advertising going in any other
publication, like a phone book or --
Page 7
161 1 ~
October 21,2009 A
MR. SYNOWSKY: Not that I know of.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- other than just fliers that you're getting
in the mail.
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, this is just fliers that they send out in
the mail.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Are they sending them to homeowners--
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- on the street also?
MR. SYNOWSKY: They send them to homeowners in Naples.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And this all came from a phone call?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And you didn't authorize this?
MR. SYNOWSKY: I authorized them to do some advertising,
but I didn't authorize them to send this card out. They were supposed
to send me a sample of what they're going to send out and all that.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: When they asked you about your
qualifications as far as what you can do as a handyman, did you give
them information that you can do all these things as a handyman?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, no, not these. Not what's on this card,
no.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, Mr. Ganguli, would you --
MR. OSSORlO: Would you like to have the board take a look at
it? Do you want them to pass the card around?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Sure.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I'd like to do that, at least look at
it. If it's not in the packet. I didn't see anything in the packet similar
to it. I have it but it's plain.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Do you want to see their bill too, or --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, please.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I've got three of them, and they're all from--
this is the last one.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Thank you.
Page 8
o~~e! 21, !09 113
Do you want to submit these into evidence also?
MR. NEALE: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I need a motion to submit the
postcard and the three pieces of paper here from building.
MR. SYNOWSKY: They won't accept none of my phone calls.
I call --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, one second.
Motion to approve these, please.
MR. L YKOS: So moved, Lykos.
MR. LANTZ: Second, Lantz.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: These will be Exhibit B, or number 2.
Exhibit A or B.
Motion and a second. All in favor?
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So moved.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Would you like to see the cancellation
paper?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, we have a copy of that.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Okay.
MR. JERULLE: Can I ask when you placed the ad?
MR. SYNOWSKY: They called me up in April, in the middle of
April. And I didn't find nothing out until June 1 st when I called them
back and canceled it.
And when I talked to them, I faxed them the tickets that I got and
Page 9
161 1
October 21, 2009 A~
after that I never heard from them again.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Wow.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, just to clarify real quick, I know
Rob Ganguli might speak on this behalf, but the reason why there's a
$500 ticket out there for painting is because this gentleman was cited
before for painting, so he paid his first fine for 300.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, may I inquire?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sure.
MR. WHITE: When was that specifically?
MR. SYNOWSKY: That was in March.
MR. WHITE: Of this year?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
MR. GANGULI: The first citation was issued April 9th.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And this was for painting?
MR. GANGULI: I caught him on a job site painting without
being sufficiently licensed.
MR. WHITE: Was the nature of that citation unlicensed painting
advertising or unlicensed painting?
MR. GANGULI: Unlicensed painting contracting. I caught him
on a job site performing the work.
MR. WHITE: Well, I note from our packet, both defense A and
from county's prosecution A, that the painting Citation 4925 is for
unlicensed painting advertising, which is a little different in my mind
than actually painting.
MR. GANGULI: On the citation, Mr. White, under description
of violation, it's checked offletter F, which specifies engaged in the
business or act in the capacity of a contractor or advertise self or
business organization as available to engage in the business or act in a
capacity of a contractor without being duly registered or certified.
MR. WHITE: And does it not also specifically underline the
words advertise self?
MR. GANGULI: Advertise self under F, as well as act in the
Page 10
t~oJer 2 ~2009 A3
capacity of, under F.
MR. WHITE: Well, I understand that those words are there, but
I'm trying to derive the meaning from this entire citation. And when
someone looks to specify something that bolsters what is otherwise
hindered by hand and specifically states unlicensed painting
advertising and above says advertising painting and in parenthesis
second defense, I tend to come to the conclusion that it's because he
impermissibly advertised that he paints when he only has a handyman
licensed.
Now, I understand that there's factual evidence we are presented
at hearing today that would seek to find a violation for actually
painting, but I don't know that you've cited him for that violation.
So I'm just trying to point out that if we're going to bring people
before this board and they're going to look to defend themselves, I'm
going to look very particularly at each of the things that the staff has
done and that the respondent has done to make sure that we're doing it
by the numbers.
MR. GANGULI: Mr. White, in this case I did it by the letters,
which is F, which includes both advertising and acting in the capacity.
MR. WHITE: You've heard my analysis of it, and I do not agree
with you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Am I understanding this correctly, Mr.
Ganguli, that the April 9th citation was before these other three
citations --
MR. GANGULI: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- occurred?
Okay. So in a bulk what you've done -- Mr. White, I think what
he's done is on his advertising portion of it, because of the fact that he
was caught with an advertisement saying that he can do painting, he
can do advertising or roofing and he advertised to do flooring -- or I'm
sorry, unlicensed flooring advertising, those three items were bulked
together on three separate violations. But the actual April 9th
Page 11
16 I 1 Pr~
October 21,2009
violation that he is citing (sic) for contracting painting was a different
violation that he's already been cited for.
MR. WHITE: I agree with you, Mr. Chairman, it was a different
violation. It was the actual act of painting as opposed to advertising
painting.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. WHITE: And for those reasons, I also question whether it
should be an enhanced penalty of 500 for this particular Citation 4925.
So I don't mean to be too lawyerly about it, but the fact of the
matter is that, you know, they have presented a case and I'm just
looking at it as objectively as I do all the others. And from my point
of view I'm not convinced yet that he had the intent to advertise and
impermissibly as to the other two citations warrant the citations being
upheld. That's just my view of it today, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Kind of the way that I look at it at
the moment is that first of all, if he was cited in April for painting,
number one, and then he gets cited again in June for advertising
painting would lead me to believe that somewhere along the lines the
advertising company had knowledge and maybe had knowledge that
he told them I do roofing, I do flooring, I can do anything as a
handyman and this is what they put in his advertising.
So it's making me think that he is guilty of painting and yes, the
violation probably did occur.
MR. WHITE: I understand. I'm just going by the evidence that's
before me and not my own conjecture.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That's my opinion.
MR. WHITE: I understand.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Go ahead, Mr. Lykos.
MR. L YKOS: Mr. Chairman?
Question for Mr. Ganguli. The first citation on April 9th was
paid; is that correct?
MR. GANGULI: Yes, sir.
Page 12
16 I 1 P<~
October 21, 2009
MR. L YKOS: So the citation on April 9th for unlicensed paint
contracting was paid.
MR. GANGULI: Yes, sir.
MR. L YKOS: Okay. At that time the issues of advertising
weren't even -- the advertising was not an issue at the time, because
you just caught him on a job site painting.
MR. GANGULI: Yes, sir.
MR. L YKOS: Subsequent to that, the issue of advertising
painting, roofing, flooring, all those other things came up.
MR. GANGULI: Through the postcard that was turned in to our
office from another licensed contractor.
MR. L YKOS: I understand.
So the issues really are separate.
MR. GANGULI: Very much so.
MR. L YKOS: The reason that the second citation for painting is
higher is because your position is it was the second violation.
MR. GANGULI: My position is based on what's described in the
citation, Mr. Lykos, under F, which includes acting in the capacity of
a contractor, as well as advertising.
So my decision was based entirely on what was available to me
to select on the citation.
MR. L YKOS: I understand.
MR. OSSORIO: Or means or.
MR. L YKOS: I understand.
MR. OSSORIO: Under the state statute there's no difference
from someone advertising or doing the work, it's still unlicensed.
MR. L YKOS: I completely understand.
My next comment is that as a contractor, and I don't remember
how many of us for sure there are here, but as a contractor, we're
responsible for everything that we do and everything that has our
name on it: Advertising, our employees, our bookkeepers, our
accountants.
Page 13
16 I 1 A~
October 21, 2009
I have an accountant who does my tax return, I'm still responsible
to make sure that tax return is correct.
You have a responsibility, Mr. Synowsky, for the advertising that
has your name on it.
It's easy for anybody to come back and say now that I've gotten
in trouble, well, that wasn't what I authorized. So anybody can make
that claim. Had you not gotten caught, how proactive would you have
been to correct this problem? We don't know that.
It's a rhetorical question, it wasn't meant for you to answer.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Well, like I said--
MR. L YKOS: As a contractor you are responsible for your
advertising, for your employees, should you have them, you're
responsible for everything having to do with your business.
And it might be that this advertising company overstepped what
your verbal agreement was with them, but you're still responsible,
because it's got your name on it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Someone gave them that information or
they wouldn't have put it on a postcard, made out that many of them
and keep sending them to you. Someone gave them some kind of an
insight that said that this detailing handyman person can do all these
items.
I have a hard time believing that they're going to say why didn't
they just put detail and handyman and leave it at that. Why did they
list all the items, unless someone gave them opportunity to be able to
put those on there.
So Mr. Lykos, I totally agree with you.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Well, like I said, I canceled it on the 1st of
June.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well, whether you canceled it or not I
think at this point is immaterial. The fact is that you got caught in
April painting, and now you want us to --
MR. JERULLE: And painting is listed as one of the items.
Page 14
oc!~r ~ 1, 2!09 ~
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And painting is one of the items on this
card. That leads me to believe that someone told these people that you
paint. And unfortunately they put it on your postcard, which means
that you're advertising painting.
I need a motion, gentlemen.
MR. WHITE: Point of inquiry, Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. WHITE: The facts in the record as presented to us by the
respondent are that he in fact not only made the claim but that he
actually has a letter in here from the people who indicate that he had
not received the proof of what it says.
So the evidence we have, as opposed to what we think he might
have done or believe he could have done, is that they did not show
him a proof. He had no idea. He is essentially being told that he is
responsible for something he had no awareness of until the staff
brought it to his attention.
So I don't know if that's essentially fair or not. I tend to believe
that someone who has not learned their lesson the first time and was
out painting and is then in a position where subsequent to that three
citations are issued probably ought to be getting the message. But I
can't believe that the guy actually allowed a card to go out that doesn't
have his name spelled properly.
So what I'd like to inquire from the staff about is, you've been
very diligent in attempting to prove your case. Did you in fact contact
anyone from Idearc about the authenticity of this letter that was
provided? Which apparently you had beforehand, because it was in
our packets, unlike the staffs -- county's materials, which we received
today.
MR. GANGULI: Mr. White, I did not contact them.
MR. WHITE: So you do not have an opinion as to the
authenticity or the credibility of this document.
MR. GANGULI: No. And if! did, I don't know if Mr. Neale
Page 15
o!o~e}21, 2!09 A 3
would allow me to give it.
MR. WHITE: Certainly if you did some investigation I imagine
he would --
MR. GANGULI: It didn't include --
MR. WHITE: -- as opposed to your opinion.
MR. GANGULI: It did not include calling the postcard
company.
MR. WHITE: Okay. So my point simply is, gentlemen, that
we're here to weigh evidence. And, you know, I understand there's
going to be a difference of opinion here. I'm just articulating to you so
that you know and so that the staff knows and hopefully the
respondent is understanding this, that we're looking to properly weigh
what it is that's put before us, even if we receive it in here. Thank
you.
MR. NEALE: I'd just like to bring to the board's attention the
relevant section of Florida Statutes on this. It's 489.127.5.D.3, which
states that if the person issued the citation or his or her designated
representative shows that the citation is invalid or that the violation
has been corrected prior to appearing before the enforcement or
licensing board or designated special magistrate, the enforcement or
licensing board or designated special magistrate may dismiss the
citation, unless the violation's irreparable or irreversible.
So that's the standard on which the board operates on this.
MR. WHITE: Could I --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Let me ask you a question. One second,
Mr. White.
Mr. Neale, is it possible, considering the fact ofMr. White's
comments and that in all honesty I don't want to penalize someone
over something that they had no control over. Is it possible that we
could table this particular case and give him a 3D-day period of time
for staff to be able to contact these people and find out the background
behind how they got the information and who authorized it and what
Page 16
16 I 1 +r?J
October 21,2009
went on with this?
That way if it is valid and if it is something that is determined, he
can come back in 30 days and we'll just leave the citation on the floor
at the moment.
MR. NEALE: I mean, it's the pleasure of the county that they
can continue the matter until the next scheduled hearing, if they so
wish. And subject to further review.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I mean, that's just a thought in my mind.
I don't know how the rest of the board members feel about it, but --
MR. JERULLE: No, you know, sometimes things are what they
are. And if you look at the timeline, sometime in April he places an
ad. Sometime in April he gets caught for doing something that he's
not supposed to be doing. There's no question about that.
MR. WHITE: There is a question about that, because--
MR. JERULLE: In May --I'm trying to make my point, excuse
me.
In May the packet, or postcard is mailed out. And in June he
tries -- he sees the postcard and has lists of items he's not licensed for,
knows that he's going to be fined and tries to cancel it.
In my mind I think it's fairly simple. Sometimes things are what
they are.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I tend to agree with you. I'm just trying
to satisfy both sides of the coin here.
MR. WHITE: There's a couple of problems with what the
gentleman has said. One is that there's -- even in your own statement,
the inconsistency that he was cited in April and the postcards went out
in May.
What the evidence says in the form of the letter he received from
the people who created the postcards was that he canceled it on June
1 st, which is prior to the June 24th citations. So I'm not sure how I
can agree with you that what things are are what they are. I think
there's something different.
Page 17
16' 1 A!J
October 21, 2009
And I understand that we have a responsibility here, and it is one
that flows in my mind both ways and is whether I'm a consumer
advocate or a contractor, I'm going to make my decisions and cast my
vote in a way that is based upon what the evidence shows, not what I
think might have happened.
So that's my only point, gentlemen.
MR. JERULLE: And I'll make my point again. He is advertised
for painting and he was caught painting.
MR. WHITE: Which time?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: In April. That's when this first citation
came out, in April.
MR. WHITE: No, I believe he was cited for painting, not for
advertising painting.
Is that what the testimony was, Mr. Ganguli?
MR. GANGULI: Yes, sir, the April 9th violation was for
engaging in the act of.
MR. WHITE: Thank you.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay, for the -- just to clarify, the respondent's
got to realize that we're going to be calling Mr. Boston and we're
going to get a sworn affidavit by telephone, and a lot of questions are
going to be asked of how he got contacted, who contacted who, what
information did you want on the postcard.
So do you want us to call that company to verify that what was
said or--
,
MR. SYNOWSKY: That's fine.
MR. OSSORIO: Which I have no problem if you want to go
ahead and table this till the next meeting, we can do so.
I think we're going to be right back in here with a sworn affidavit
corroborating the county's position.
MR. WHITE: If that's the case --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I would then say, Michael, I think you're
correct, I think the board then needs to hear the case and needs to
Page 18
ol~)21, 2!09 A3
make a decision today. And should it come out to where the citations
are valid, that then if Mr. Synowsky chooses to, he can get on the horn
and he can call these people. And if they choose to give information
that proves otherwise, then he can always come and appeal the case--
or appeal the decision, excuse me.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, one of the points of what Mr.
Neale said that informs me about what we can do here today is we
have the opportunity to dismiss this because he has come into
compliance --
THE COURT REPORTER: Mr. White, excuse me, could you
come closer to the mic.
MR. WHITE: I actually can hear myself.
He actually has come into compliance based upon the only
evidence that's before us on June 1st. He made the effort to cancel the
contract for the advertising that are what the three citations say he has
done impermissibly. So ifhe has corrected it, we have the capacity
today to dismiss these three citations.
I'm not saying we should, I'm just trying to recognize what the
law allows us to do and whether the policy here is to encourage people
to abate violations, or as some of the other individuals perhaps later in
the agenda, to continue an activity that's inappropriate.
MR. NEALE: I'd like to bring something to the attention of the
board.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Neale?
MR. NEALE: Is that the only appeal route on a final
administrative order of this board for citations of this type is to circuit
court, not back to this board.
There is no provision for a rehearing, there's no provision for any
re-review. If you find that he's in violation here, and he wishes to
appeal, his only appeal is to circuit court.
MR. WHITE: That's by cert. or--
MR. NEALE: It's cert., it's not an appeal de novo.
Page 19
16 I 1 kJ
October 21, 2009
MR. WHITE: Okay, got it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Thank you for that clarification
for sure.
Go ahead, Kyle.
MR. LANTZ: I just have a comment.
First of all, I like to see people getting fined for this type of
offense, because I see it every day; I open my mail and I see it.
However, as I'm reading his invoices, I see that he's being
charged for advertising for June and July, whereas they already gave a
letter that he canceled his advertising as of June 1 st. Which leads me
to believe that the advertising company is not really one of the best
companies out there.
And my guess is when you call them, you know, there's maybe
100 people there and nobody knows what they're talking about. It's
just in the database. And so that leads me to believe that they're kind
of screwed up and makes me believe him a little bit more.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You know, I'm kind of seesawing back
and forth myself because of the same reasons. I mean, there's a lot of
things that says to me that someone that gets caught painting and then
all of a sudden the following month he's got advertising saying he can
paint, as well as other things, I'm just wondering if we have a
handyman here that is advertising and going out and trying to do all
the different trades, because he's now -- and then he figured he got
caught and --
MR. NEALE: I'd like to caution the board, though, and bring
forth what Mr. White says. The only thing you can decide on is on the
evidence presented here, not conjecture, not what you think might
have happened, but any evidence presented in this hearing.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well, this is all just hearsay. We're
allowed to hear hearsay, right?
MR. NEALE: But you cannot make a decision based on hearsay.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, exactly.
Page 20
1 6 I 1 -AD
October 21,2009
MR. NEALE: And so conjecture, et cetera is not something you
can use to make your decision, it has to be based on evidence
presented.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Neale, would you say that piece of paper
that Mr. White keeps referring to as evidence, would that evidence be
hearsay if we cannot cross-examine Mr. Boston?
MR. NEALE: No.
MR. OSSORIO: No, okay.
MR. NEALE: It's a written document presented from that party,
so I mean --
MR. WHITE: It's essentially as valid as the evidence we took in
from the county at the beginning of this particular matter.
MR. OSSORIO: That's not our document, that's his document.
MR. WHITE: I'm talking about the county's packet which we
received at the beginning of the hearing. There were no statements
that any of this was sworn or otherwise given any additional degree of
competent or substantial evidence. They both stand kind of equally on
their face.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: On that contract, someone has the
contract, is there anywhere on there where it says any type of a
cancellation term or anything in writing that says he can cancel this at
any time, or is it like a yearly contract he signed into or --
MR. LANTZ: It's just bills that we have.
MR. HORN: Actually, I have a question.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sure.
MR. HORN: Mr. Synowsky, just looking at the letter you
received from the advertising company, did you call them on the day
you received your violations?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No.
MR. HORN: You didn't call them that day?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No.
MR. HORN: It's kind of curious because the date of the
Page 21
oc!~r L, 2!9 {b
violations, June 24th, is the exact date that that letter is sent out and
dated by the advertising company on the dot. Just seems like a heck
of a coincidence otherwise.
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, that's when I received it. Because I
went to -- I went over to the county and they wanted proof, so I called
them back up and had them fax that to me.
MR. HORN: So you did call them on June 24th.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
MR. HORN: Okay, that's --
MR. SYNOWSKY: I called them back up and they faxed me
this paperwork over when I canceled it.
MR. HORN: Just curious. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: When did you receive the first postcard?
MR. SYNOWSKY: It was in June.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: In June.
MR. SYNOWSKY: And then I got the next one July 10th. And
I got two of them on July 10th. Then I got the next one, not even
opened, on July 13th.
MR. WHITE: Can I ask more questions?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- again?
MR. WHITE: Because I'm confused by the answers he gave to
your question.
MR. HORN: Well, I got a little bit ofa difference, but that's
okay.
MR. WHITE: The document that's dated June 24th from Idearc
says that you canceled the contract on June 1st.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
MR. WHITE: Now, I'm assuming you spoke to them either on
June 1 st or beforehand in order to cancel it.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I spoke to them on June 1st.
MR. WHITE: Okay. Did you also speak to them on the 24th
saymg --
Page 22
16 I l-k)
October 21, 2009
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
MR. WHITE: -- give me a letter?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes.
MR. WHITE: Okay, there we go. That--
MR. SYNOWSKY: When I got my fines, I called them back up
and faxed them these fines that I had. They wanted proof that I was
being fined for the cards that they were mailing out. They wanted
proof of that.
MR. WHITE: And--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did you do that?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yes, I did.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And have you had a response from them
since?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, they won't return my phone calls. And
they're still mailing them out today. That's what I'm saying, I don't--
MR. HORN: Question just out of curiosity, since you said that.
Why would they need to see the violations to send a letter out saying
that you had already canceled it through --
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, they needed to see that I got violated,
that I got a fine for their advertising. Because I'm saying, who's going
to pay for this. How can you advertise something that I'm not licensed
for?
MR. HORN: Did they agree to pay your violations?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No. No, they won't return my phone calls
now. But they said they wanted proof that I got fined for this
advertising. So I had to show them --
MR. HORN: So they said that they would send you this letter?
MR. SYNOWSKY: I had to show them proof that it says
advertising on here to them.
MR. HORN: No, I understand that, sir. My question is they
needed the proof for what, so that they would send this letter to you?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, I just wanted a letter showing
Page 23
Octlg Jl, 20t *r;
cancellation, that I canceled it to him.
MR. HORN: No, I understand. But why would they need the
proof of the citations? What would they need that for?
MR. SYNOWSKY: They needed proof of citations that I got
fined over the advertising.
MR. HORN: I understand. But why? To cancel the contract or
MR. SYNOWSKY: No.
MR. HORN: -- to send a letter?
MR. SYNOWSKY: No, they -- I canceled the contract before I
got violated.
MR. HORN: I understand. But why would they need to see the
violations? That's why I'm a -- you got me confused now.
MR. SYNOWSKY: They wanted to see the violations because
of the advertising. You're getting me confused.
MR. HORN: I understand they wanted to see the violations. But
why? If it's already canceled and they're not going to be mailing
anything out because you canceled it, why would they need to see the
violations?
MR. SYNOWSKY: I don't have no idea. They wanted to see the
violations.
MR. HORN: I mean, it wasn't we need to see the violations --
MR. SYNOWSKY: Because I was --
MR. HORN: -- or we're going to--
MR. SYNOWSKY: -- asking who's going to--
MR. HORN: -- write a letter or --
MR. SYNOWSKY: -- pay for this.
THE COURT REPORTER: I can't get both of you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One at a time, please. One at a time.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I mean, I don't know who's going to pay for
it. I don't know if! should get an attorney on them for -- you know, I
don't know.
Page 24
olieJ21,lo9 M
Then when I talked to him, I'm just trying to be honest with him.
And every time I got these sent in the mail, I went over and showed
'em, and they made copies of it.
MR. HORN: No, I understand you completely, I just don't
understand why they would want to see the violations unless there was
something you were asking for in return. That's why you had me
confused. That's all I'm trying to figure out.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I have no idea.
MR. HORN: Okay.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I showed them the -- I faxed them the
violations because of the false advertising. They wanted proof that I
was being fined for false advertising, so I faxed them the citations.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And what was the reasoning for that? I
mean, what was the response to the question when you told them you
were going to be fined or you had citations for false advertising. How
did that get on a postcard that you put on there? Did you ask them the
questions --
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- to try to find out?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I said why -- how come you didn't mail
me this? And they said they did mail it to me. And I said, I've never
received nothing. I never received nothing in the mail.
So I'm calling. On January 1st (sic) I'm calling -- or June 1st I'm
calling to cancel it. Because why am I paying for something that I
can't even be licensed to do? So I had to cancel it.
Because like you said, I didn't want to get fined. And 24 days
later I got fined. Simple as that. I don't know what else to tell you. I
mean, I'm serious, I don't know what else to tell you.
I mean, I've been honest with him. Every time I got these letters
in the mail, I went right up to the county and gave it to them. They
made copies of them. And I still have no control of it. They're still out
Page 25
oc!b~r ! 1, 219 t?J
there. They're still in someone's mailbox next month and I can't do
nothing about it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well, I find that hard to believe that you
can't do anything about it. I mean, it can be done.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I tried calling them and they won't accept
my calls. Ifhe wants to call them up, that's more than welcome. I'm
fine with that.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You may have to take some other drastic
steps but it can be done, I'm sure. I mean, it may take an attorney to
write them a letter --
MR. SYNOWSKY: I'm fine with that.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- and cancel it, but--
MR. SYNOWSKY: But like I said, if! have to pay these, I don't
know what to do. I don't know if! get an attorney to sue them or
what.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You may have to do that.
MR. LANTZ: I just have one more question.
When you first talked to them in April about advertising, what
did you talk to them about advertising for?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Detailing cars, boats. I pressure wash, I--
it's mostly anything on the handyman license. Mostly pressure
washing, lawn mowing, assembling weight machines and all that. I
mean, you can do very -- replace screens. You can very -- do little on
handyman license. You can't really do much on a handyman license.
Now, on the first offense that I got for painting, I was painting a
friend's house. He didn't live there at the time. Someone called and
said I was painting. He came in and violated me. I paid the fine. I
didn't know what else to do. I told the owner about it, he was going to
come down and pay it for me.
I mean, I can get that in writing that I was just painting his house.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That's not necessary.
Mr. Ossorio, just one quick opening. Would you please define
Page 26
16 I 1 fJr~
October 21, 2009
the categories of what a handyman can actually do?
MR. OSSORIO: Well, the respondent can tell you, when an
applicant comes in for a handyman or a business tax receipt, they sign
an affidavit explaining what they can and cannot do. And there is a --
basically a handyman does basically nothing, just what this gentleman
says. You can do some painting if it's just like if you're painting a
garage door, inconsequential but you can't paint a house. And that's
something the investigator goes out in the field and looks at.
But no plumbing, electrical, no tile, no drywall.
And he signs an affidavit. So here it's kind of ironic that he tells
you you want him (sic) to believe his story but he signs up, gets a
handyman license, signs an affidavit that he won't paint and then he's
out there painting. And he even tells you that he was painting. So,
you know.
MR. WHITE: And if you guys had cited him for painting as
opposed to unlicensed painting advertising, I'd have no problem with
that citation. But that isn't what it says.
MR.OSSORIO: Well, I don't --I'm not an attorney, but I would
say to you when you look at F, there's no two parts of it. It says
either/or. So or means or. But maybe Robert Zachary can chime in.
But if you want, I have no problem dismissing that $500 one for
the painting, if that's an issue. We can go ahead and drop the 500 one
for painting and just go for the other three, the $300 ones for
advertising.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. OSSORIO: That's the board's decision.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What's the pleasure of the board?
Anybody got a motion?
MR. WHITE: Just as a point of order, Mr. Chairman, I believe
his defense packet was included as part of our agenda packet.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And the extra that he gave us.
THE COURT REPORTER: Did he give you something, though?
Page 27
161 1 9
October 21, 2009 ~
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: He gave us some invoices, right, which
we need to enter that as evidence, yes.
MR. NEALE: Those need to be entered.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That would be his letter C then. I need a
motion, please.
MR. L YKOS: You want them separate or combined?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, we can combine them all.
The postcard and the three copies of invoices, I need a motion to
enter those exhibits.
MR. WHITE: I move we accept them as defense packet B,
composite exhibit.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I have a motion, I need a second.
MR. BOYD: Second, Boyd.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second.
All in favor?
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
Nobody's got a motion? You want me to make it?
MR. WHITE: I'd make a motion to dismiss all three, Mr.
Chairman, but I'll doubt if it will get a second. So moved.
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'll make a motion that we find Mr.
Synowsky guilty on unlicensed flooring advertising, which is Citation
No. 4927, guilty on roofing advertising as a violation No. 4926, and
Page 28
Oct~~ J 1, 20!9 -b
that we dismiss the painting advertising of invoice -- or under Citation
4925.
MR. LANTZ: Second, Lantz.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We have a motion and a second. All in
favor, signify by saying aye --
MR. L YKOS: Well, how about some discussion before we move
on to vote?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm sorry. Okay.
MR. L YKOS: Your motion is to waive the advertising painting
citation altogether?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. L YKOS: Well, he did advertise for painting. So I would
rather see that it's just not the second offense. If you're going to give
up on it, don't give up on the whole thing --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Oh, I'm sorry.
MR. L YKOS: -- because he did advertise for painting.
Painting's on the card.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I see. The difference in the cost is what
you're talking about, correct?
MR. L YKOS: Right.
MR. NEALE: Except for the fact that the statute specifically
states that if the enforcement or licensing board or designated special
magistrate finds that a violation exists, the enforcement or licensing
board or designated special magistrate may order the violator to pay a
civil penalty of not less than the amount set forth on the violation, but
not more than $1,000 per day.
MR. WHITE: So you --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We can't reduce it.
MR. L YKOS: We can't reduce it.
MR. WHITE: So you'd have to dismiss it.
MR. NEALE: You either have to dismiss --
MR. WHITE: Or find a violation.
Page 29
octote92L 201 Nb
MR. NEALE: -- or 500 for up to 1,000.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And I'm only giving him the benefit of
the doubt because of what Mr. White's comments are. In my real
heart I believe that he was doing this work. I still think he probably is
now.
I'm going to make a little point here saying that if we catch you
agam --
MR. WHITE: And if! may, Mr. Chairman--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- before this board.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I understand.
MR. WHITE: For the reasons that you've expressed, which I
understood, I will be voting in favor of the motion.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Thank you, sir.
I've got a motion, do I have a second?
MR. LANTZ: I already seconded.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All in favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
You understand what happened, right? You are guilty on --
MR. SYNOWSKY: I got fined for two of them.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Fined for two of them and the one for
$500 for unlicensed painting advertising we dismissed.
MR. SYNOWSKY: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You are welcome.
Page 30
16 I 1 A?J
October 21, 2009
Do you need copies when we're done?
MR. SYNOWSKY: Just wait for them? I'd like to have copies,
yes.
MR. L YKOS: Here's everything.
MR. SYNOWSKY: I could make copies and bring them back.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, maybe -- can we get this done in
the Commissioners' office, possibly, or across the street -- across the
hall?
Mr. Ganguli, would you do me the honors of going out and
making copies of these three invoices and the postcard, please? Thank
you.
Okay, the next one on the agenda is a Michael R. Bain. Are you
present, please?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Bain not here.
Okay, we'll put this on the table for a second and maybe he'll
show up.
Is there a Michael D. Green present?
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Green, would you come to the
podium, be sworn in, please.
(Mr. Green and Mr. Jackson were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Green, apparently we are -- you
have a citation that was issued to you also, right?
MR. GREEN: Uh-huh.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: As Gentleman Jim's. Are you
Gentleman Jim?
MR. GREEN: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No. Who is Gentleman Jim?
MR. GREEN: It's a fictitious character.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just a guy.
MR. GREEN: Just a guy.
Page 3 1
161 1 A.?J
October 21, 2009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: With a hat on.
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: A big guy.
MR. GREEN: With an English accent.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. You've got a citation here, No.
4962 for apparently engaging in business or acting in the capacity of a
contractor or advertising self or business organization as available to
engage in business or acting in the capacity of a contractor without
being duly registered or certified.
Would you like to explain the reasons, what happened?
MR. GREEN: The piece of paper that was faxed to Mr.
Jackson's office was personal property. It was a prototype that I was
working on. It's my full intention to dispute those as-is. Or I don't
know what that version is, but it clearly says contractor referral and
handyman connection.
I don't do any work. Simply, you know, answer the phone. I
mean, the way the statute's written, I'm not doing that is my
contention.
MR. WHITE: May I ask the respondent questions?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Dh-huh.
MR. WHITE: The prototype that we have, and hopefully you're
familiar with it, does say that it's a contractor referral and handyman
connection. It lists probably 12 or so different areas of activity.
But at the bottom it also says free estimates.
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
MR. WHITE: Who provides those?
MR. GREEN: The contractors.
MR. WHITE: And how do they know what to do?
MR. GREEN: A phone call. Yeah, I mean, I can break this
down.
Face value, I don't believe the statute's been broken, so we can go
into detail here.
Page 32
OCtO~~21, 200l ~J
I have a copy of how it all starts, okay. I haven't done anything
yet. Because after this meeting, then I will go, you know, open a
bottle of champagne and start working.
This works through what happens. The people call me, I take
their information, what their problem is, call the contractor, dispatch
them. They do their magic. I follow up and get 15 percent for that
phone call. They -- I don't collect any money, it's paid to the
contractor. I just get a percentage.
MR. WHITE: Sir, it's kind oflike a finding fee, or finders fee?
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
And the guys that I have are licensed, insured, bonded, in good
standing.
MR. WHITE: So you're essentially offering the services of
contractor.
MR. GREEN: Yeah, I'm doing the advertising for the
contractors, okay? Consolidating -- instead of having an electrician,
plumber, heating and air guy, have all those numbers on one little
sheet that they put in their closet or whatever, just call Jim.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So the bottom line, what you're doing is
you're kind of attempting to make a sale for a contractor, whether it be
roofing, AC, plumbing, whatever it may be, you're just trying to get
that contractor a job.
MR. GREEN: Yes. I'm doing the advertising for them
essentially, just consolidating all the numbers.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. I'm going to read you something
real quick, and Mr. Ian -- no, I won't yet. Mr. -- Ian, let me hear what
you have to say. I'm going to hear what you found there.
MR. JACKSON: For the record, Ian Jackson, Contractor
Licensing.
On or about July 30th, contractor licensing office received this
fax from a licensed plumbing company.
I met with Mr. Green, explained what the issue was, gave him an
Page 33
161 1
October 21,2009
~?J
option on how to remedy it, and issued the citation based on the state
statute attached in your packet.
There's -- to be honest, there's not really much more than that.
MR. WHITE: Well, do you have an opinion, based on the
advertising that's in our packet and your conversation with Mr. Bain
(sic) whether in fact he is offering or -- there are attempted sales--
services that require contract licensure?
MR. JACKSON: Are you asking me if! believe that he's
referring these jobs to contractors?
MR. WHITE: No, I'm asking if you believe that he is offering or
that there are -- that there is an attempted sale of services that require
the corresponding licensure.
MR. JACKSON: I do believe that Gentleman Jim, LLC,
Carpentry, Heating, Air, going from the advertisement, going from the
statute, the attempted sale of contracting services.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: On what he has on this particular
Gentleman Jim's free estimates, I think there's only one, maybe two on
here that don't really -- maybe three that don't really require a
licensure. The moving, the pressure washing and the lifting, possibly.
The rest of them are all tier one contractors, just about, other than
small ones.
And I'm going to read you something real quick, okay, and then
we're going to maybe end this real fast.
According to the statute it pretty much clearly states out what
you're doing. I can tell what you're doing in your business, you're
going out and you're engaging in trying to do attempted sales by hiring
or getting leads from people and then going out and trying to locate or
giving general contractors or contractors the opportunity to bid on
those jobs, correct?
MR. GREEN: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I'm going to read you the statute.
Paragraph six, it says contracting in the State of Florida, in
Page 34
Oct!b~ ! 1, 20~9 A)
Collier County. It says Collier -- contracting means as exempted (sic)
in this part, engaging in business as a contractor and includes but is
not limited to performance of any of the acts as set forth in subsection
three which defines types of contractors. The attempted sale of
contracting services and the negotiation or bid for a contract of these
services also constitutes contracting.
Therefore, by the statute you are contracting or advertising or
contracting possibly without a license.
MR. WHITE: And if I could add to that, Mr. Chairman, the
sentence that in addition to that to me seems to be the indication that
there's a violation that would support the citation. It says if the
services offered require licensure or agent qualification, the mere
offering, negotiation for bid or attempted sale of these services
requires the corresponding licensure.
In other words, even the notion of a contractor referral seems to
offend this statute. So I will be voting that the citation should stand
and would encourage --
MR. GREEN: The word seems and appears, I don't understand.
For this type of business --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: There is no -- to put it point blank to
you, there is no type of business for what you're trying to do. What
you're trying to do is be a middleman to set up people with a general
contractor, which sounds like a pretty good business. However, to do
it you need a general contractor's license. Then you could go and you
could have this business because you are a licensed general contractor
and you can go and you can bid out other contractors as a
subcontractor. But with no license at all and under a handyman's
license you can't do that.
MR. GREEN: Since this is all brand new territory, would you be
willing to maybe perhaps -- because that was a prototype. That is not
out in the street anywhere. That came off my computer. I gave it to a
friend of mine. So that's -- it's personal property is what that was.
Page 35
octo~e~ 2 t 20~ PI 9
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All it takes is once.
MR. WHITE: The testimony, sir, Mr. Bain (sic), is that it was
provided to the staffby a licensed contractor. Now how did they get
MR. GREEN: It was taken out of a truck. I gave it to a friend of
mine. Just we're talking about things and this, and I gave him a copy
of it, saying this is what I'm thinking about doing.
His boss, my ex-employer, a little bad blood there, but he
somehow got it away from a friend of mine. I don't know how or by
what means. It's not out there for -- you know, so if something off
your personal computer was just out there on the street somewhere,
that you're liable for it?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. GREEN: I don't understand.
MR. WHITE: Well, that's not the point for me as much as the
idea. Because you've said that that's what your intention is.
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
MR. WHITE: And if I -- the distinction is clear in my mind, that
you're trying to say that the service you provide is not the offering of
or the attempted sale of contracting services that require a license, it's
merely the service of putting you -- putting a client in touch with
someone who provides those.
MR. GREEN: Consolidating contractors numbers is basically
what I've done. And come to one piece of paper, throw the phone
book away, you know. Oh, I need an electrician, just call Jim; I need
a tile guy, just call Jim.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Lykos?
MR. L YKOS: My problem with that concept is that they're
calling Jim and not the contractor direct. Okay, the Yellow Pages,
which is the place you can go to get information on all the different
trades. You call the contractor direct, you don't call the Yellow Pages
and then they refer somebody.
Page 36
16 I 1 A?:J
October 21, 2009
The statute says offering the service. Well, your flier is an offer
of those services. And there's one phone number to call for all those
services. So it's an offer of those services.
MR. WHITE: There may be a judge that sees it differently. And
if you're going to go into this business, you may want to get that
decided. But for the purposes of what the statute says and what the
evidence is from my point of view, I'm prepared to make a motion,
unless --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One last--
MR. GREEN: And like I said--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One last comment.
Kyle?
MR. LANTZ: I'd just like to add something.
I understand what you're trying to do. And there's a couple other
people in town who are doing that. One is Service Magic, which if
you go --
MR. GREEN: Yes, I was going to bring that up.
MR. LANTZ: -- on line, if you go to Service Magic, they refer
you. If you do an Internet search and say I'm looking for an
electrician, Service Magic refers you to Joe Schmo Electric --
MR. GREEN: Exactly.
MR. LANTZ: -- Service Magic refers you to Joe Schmo -- every
. . ,
time It s --
MR. GREEN: Yeah.
MR. LANTZ: -- Joe Schmo Electric, it's not you're hiring
Service Magic. So for them I would say I would agree, they are a
referral service. Because as soon as they advertise -- they don't
advertise call Service Magic, they say --
MR. GREEN: Yes they do, they go on line to Service --
MR. LANTZ: No, every person has their own phone number.
You'll see a hundred different phone numbers. I used to advertise with
Service Magic. And they had a southwest creation Service Magic
Page 37
16 I 1 A~
October 21,2009
phone number where if somebody called it, it got forwarded right to
my line, but it was my phone number.
And so for that I would say you're not following in the steps that
they're doing, because you're advertising for you, not for the business.
And another person that I can see is the local Handyman
Connection, which is probably one of your competitors. They have a
building contractor's license which allows them to advertise for the
other stuff.
So just two examples of -- I see where you're going, but I don't
think you did your homework to see exactly what they're doing. So
for that --
MR. GREEN: No, I didn't know. I'm just out here--
MR. LANTZ: Just giving you examples of --
MR. GREEN: I've been a plumber for 25 years. You know, I'm
out in the field. You know, I'm not just a guy that's trying to get in on
you guys' action, you know. I just saw a better way to consolidate,
that's all, all right?
Now, if! amend the prototype to -- I'm a general contractor. You
know, as one of my contractors. You know, a plumber, electrician,
these are all-- you know, I don't have copies to give you, so -- but I
have the --
MR. LANTZ: So if you have the general contractor qualify your
business --
MR. GREEN: If I amend that to the prototype.
MR. LANTZ: If your business is --
MR. GREEN: Because this is all brand new that I disagree--
MR. LANTZ: You have an LLC --
THE COURT REPORTER: Wait a minute, I need one at a time.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One at a time.
MR. LANTZ: So you have an LLC, right? Gentleman Jim, if
you have a general contractor or plumbing contractor or electric
contractor qualify your business, then you're covered.
Page 38
16 / I
October 21, 2009
A'?J
Just because you are using a general contractor, if you're not
qualified as a general contractor, you're still acting as one. Now, this
is my opinion, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: The general contractor would have to be
a part of the corporation, right, or the LLC, in order to make -- the
agent would actually be the Gc. He would be maybe the president or
vice president or whatever, but he'd have to be someone in the minutes
or someone on the --
MR. NEALE: I agree with the board and Mr. White's particular
analysis of this.
What I would like to do, though, and Mr. Zachary and I had a
little side bar on this, is I think because of things like Service Magic
we're going to see more and more of this as times are tougher, is
potentially do some research on this between now and our next
meeting and come back to the board with some opinion on how these
systems work and what seems to fit with our ordinance and statute and
what doesn't.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. You want --
MR. NEALE: But I totally agree with the analysis going forward
at this point.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. L YKOS: Motion to uphold the citation, Lykos.
MR. WHITE: Second, White.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I have a motion and a second to uphold
Citation 4962.
Anymore discussion?
MR. WHITE: Just that I'd like to apologize if I had called you
Mr. Bain, Mr. Green.
MR. GREEN: Accepted.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Green.
All of those the favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
Page 39

October 21, 2009
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is there any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries unanimous.
Mr. Green, you're going to have to pay the fine, and I suggest
maybe you do a little more homework. And meanwhile, I'm sure that
Mr. Neale is going to dig into this also. But I think that the way that
the board has kind of dictated you or at least asked you to maybe
produce your company that way, I think you'll be farther ahead and
without chance of errors and problems.
MR. LANTZ: I'd like to just add a question to staff on this one.
On the previous case the gentleman had his fliers and he got a citation
for painting, for flooring, for roofing, whereas this gentleman was
only cited for advertising as a contractor.
I'm not saying I want to give him five more citations, I'm just
wondering why it's not consistent. Is it two different investigators or
are there circumstances that we don't know about?
MR. JACKSON: I based my citation on general contracting.
General contractor can contract for any trade, but as we know, they're
required to subcontract certain trades. So a general contractor could
contract for all of those, anything. That's why I issued one.
MR. LANTZ: But then how come the previous one was the
individual? I'm just looking for consistency, that's all.
MR. OSSORIO: Because our -- well, our assumption is that he
was a handyman, he was going to do all those trades. So there's a big
difference between doing and subbing.
So if you're a general contractor, you have that ability to go
Page 40
161 1 A?
October 21, 2009
ahead and contract and referral. If you are a handyman or if you are
advertising, promoting yourself or doing these items, then you're
going to get cited for each one of those items.
MR. LANTZ: But a general contractor can't advertise for
electrical only, only if it's incidental to their work, correct?
MR. OSSORIO: I would say that if a general contractor
advertised can do electrical work, we would have to catch that general
contractor on the site doing electrical work. And we have done that.
So just the mere premise this contractor is saying he's going to do
electrical work under 489 tells you that he must sub it out. So we
have to catch him not subbing out to therefore to be in violation.
MR. LANTZ: The only that I'm -- I'm not complaining, I'm just
looking for consistency. But I know that there's a statute in the
general contractor's clause that says you cannot advertise to do roofing
unless you were a general contractor before whatever day they made it
roofing license separate from general contractor.
So, I mean, I'm not trying to get him more fines or anything like
that, I'm just looking for consistency. And if it's up to interpretation,
you know, maybe get it consistent all the way around.
MR. OSSORIO: It's noted.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I think the recommendation Mr. Neale
had, he's going to research this and come back maybe with some more
topics of conversation maybe at the next meeting so we can clarify
this for sure. This is going to come up more --
MR. GREEN: -- you've made a decision on mine, my case, but
further discussion in the future.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well, unfortunately you were the one
that came before us at the moment, and it's clearcut that you are guilty
of the charge. That's the only reason why at this moment. Because
you don't have a general contractor's license. Now, it may require
one. And this is what Mr. Neale is going to present before us, if that is
a correct procedure for --
Page 41
OC!b~r! 1, 219 h 3
MR. NEALE: The way you were advertising with structure, it
was clear that you were offering to sell services. So the board's
analysis was correct.
But is the -- you know, what I'm going to research is, is there a
way of structuring these type of referral services that could comply, so
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sorry, thank you.
MR. L YKOS: We're going to try to make sure that you don't do
it wrong, if you let us help you. That's--
MR. GREEN: Yes, yes--
MR. L YKOS: -- what they're working on.
MR. GREEN: That's the initial phone call from Mr. Jackson that
yeah, guys, I'm helping.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You may give it 30 days maybe till next
month. And then maybe if you want, come before the -- come in the
meeting again and come in here and you'll probably hear us speaking
again about this.
MR. GREEN: Would that fall under--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And maybe you'll get some more
direction.
MR. GREEN: -- new business that was started at the beginning
of the meeting?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, urn-hum.
MR. GREEN: Who would I go to?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You'd come right here, same place.
MR. GREEN: All right, thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You're welcome.
Next on the agenda is a Roger Boucher. Did I beat that up too
bad?
MR. BOUCHER: Not bad.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, sorry.
Be sworn in, please.
Page 42
161 1 N3
October 21, 2009
(Mr. Kennette and Mr. Boucher were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is it Boucher or Boucher?
MR. BOUCHER: Boucher.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Boucher, okay. I thought so.
Mr. Boucher, you have a citation issued to you, No. 4489, for
engaging in business; talked to on the phone as an electrical
contractor; acting in the capacity of electrical contractor.
Do you want to elaborate on what happened?
MR. BOUCHER: Well, I guess after hearing the first two
situations, this is quite a popular item. So I would like to have
clarification as to what it is basically the citation is. This is -- it covers
so many areas that --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, it does.
Mr. Kennette? Maybe Mr. Kennette can enlighten us some.
MR. KENNETTE: For the record, Allen Kennette, Contractor
Licensing, Collier County.
This citation was issued to Mr. Boucher. His worker was out on
Green Tree Drive at Armador Lane, had a light disconnected by the
entry and had 25 feet of electrical wire laid out and conduit piping.
I asked him what exactly (sic) company he worked for, because
they were doing electrical work. He said he worked for Pelican Bay
Property Management, Incorporated.
In checking the records, it showed that they were just the
management company, no electrical license, which a permit would be
required to add on electrical service, which they were going to light up
the entryway a little more with adding a few lights on the left-hand
side.
I called the office, talked to the gentleman on the phone, I don't
remember his name, as Mr. Boucher wasn't available. And informed
him. And he said oh, the gentleman ain't supposed to be doing that,
tell him to stop.
I said, he's already been stopped. And the job was stopped.
Page 43
Octtb~ J 1, 20!9 A?
As it was, he reassembled that light back together, and at that
time Mr. Boucher called me and I explained to him what was going on
out there, that he needed an electrical license and a permit. And a
permit was required to add electrical service onto an -- an existing 110
line, due to the fact that maybe it's overloaded, it would overload it
and cause a fire at the junction box or back at the source of where it
came from.
And he didn't think that that was proper, that he could extend it.
And I said no, you can't, you need to have an electrician do it. And
the citation was given to the worker to bring back to him. And that's
where we stand.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did I hear you correctly when you said
he had a worker on the job doing this?
MR. KENNETTE: Yes, there was a worker van out there,
worker out there doing it.
The original copies that I had with the photos of the gentleman
with the electrical thing got misplaced at our office and we can't -- I
could not find that part of it. But I did have photos of the wiring laid
out and the light disconnected. The light to the entryway was
disconnected, the 110 light.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Now do you know the reason?
MR. BOUCHER: Yes. I think based on what he was supposed
to do and what he's doing, I didn't know anything about the light.
Essentially the worker was there to try to save the association
some money, so that they were going to just layout the conduit and do
the grunt work, if you will, instead of paying $85 an hour -- $25 an
hour. And I -- he was not doing any connection of any electrical work.
Now, we did not think that this would require a permit because it
was a continuation of existing lighting. So if that is different, so be it.
But that's essentially what he was doing was just laying out the
conduit. And we had another party actually lifting up pavers and
putting conduit underneath there to run the wires through.
Page 44
161 1 (>(?
October 21, 2009
And the electrical contractor who was hired to do the lighting
was hired, and he purchased the lights and he did the installation. So
that's the only thing we were out there doing purportedly. Now, I
don't know anything about the light laying down or anything like that,
but that's essentially what the Pelican Bay Property Management --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: As a licensed electrician, would you say
that running conduit under a paver deck would be part of the
installation? Your testimony is the --
MR. BOUCHER: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- electrical contractor was going to do
the installation.
MR. BOUCHER: Right.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I would think conduit--
MR. BOUCHER: Well, I guess I'm looking at it from the
standpoint of a very pragmatic issue, if you will, that there are certain
aspects that did not require technical expertise to lay conduit or pull
pavers out and whatever as a by-product of the project. I do split
those things up when we do certain work. But, you know, it's -- I
don't consider it that it needs expertise of an electrician to lay conduit,
dig a ditch and remove pavers and put conduit under the ground.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You don't?
MR. BOUCHER: No.
MR. L YKOS: Motion to uphold the citation, Lykos.
MR. HORN: Second, Horn.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and second to uphold Citation
No. 4489.
MR. WHITE: Point of discussion, please.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any discussion please?
MR. WHITE: Yes. I'm a little confused on who Mr. Boucher is,
and why he's getting the citation.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: He has (sic) the license holder for
Pelican Bay services. Pelican Property Management.
Page 45
16 I 1 ~?
October 21, 2009
MR. WHITE: So you work for or are --
MR. BOUCHER: Yes.
MR. WHITE: -- somehow? And these were your employees
that were doing --
MR. BOUCHER: Yes.
MR. WHITE: -- these sub-tasks, in your mind?
MR. BOUCHER: Yes.
MR. WHITE: And you otherwise didn't have an electrician hired
that pulled the proper permit for this install?
MR. BOUCHER: Yes.
MR. WHITE: And that permit was in existence at the time that --
MR. BOUCHER: No, it was not. It was not.
MR. WHITE: Okay.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did he have Workmen's Comp insurance
MR. BOUCHER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- on the persons that were digging the
trench?
MR. BOUCHER: We'd be more than happy to provide it for
you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I have a motion and a second on
the floor.
MR. WHITE: I'm just trying to help inform Mr. Boucher as we
did the last gentleman in a little -- to some degree that in my mind if
you had hired and had a permit pulled by an electrical contractor and
that contractor was aware of what the sub-tasks were and was
otherwise supervising your employees who were doing some of the,
quote, grunt work, unquote, then you might not have found yourself
before us with about what is going to occur.
MR. BOUCHER: I appreciate that comment, and I think that the
bases that we were working under, that the continuation of this
lighting project was not new construction, so that's why we didn't
Page 46
16 I 1 l\'!J
October 21, 2009
think the permit was needed.
MR. WHITE: Very good.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: A motion and a second on the floor still.
Any more discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Call for the vote. All in favor of
upholding Citation No. 4489.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
Mr. Boucher, I'm sorry that that's the way it is but --
MR. BOUCHER: It is what it is.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- the fine stands.
MR. BOUCHER: Don't worry about it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I wouldn't do it again though, please.
MR. BOUCHER: I'll do it differently.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: There you go. Good idea. Let's hope
different is right.
MR. WHITE: I was trying to help.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, we have a Charles S. Miller. Are
you present?
Would you please come to the podium and be sworn in, please.
(Mr. Miller and Mr. Jackson were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Miller, you were given a citation
apparently for -- sorry, you were given three citations.
Page 47
161 1 ~?
October 21, 2009
MR. MILLER: Three citations, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: 4970,4971 on August 17th, all the same
date, and 4972, unlicensed plumbing, unlicensed electrical and
unlicensed cabinet installation.
You want to elaborate on what you were doing there?
MR. MILLER: I was -- these are friends of mine. I was -- the
gentleman asked me if I would come help him raise his vanities, his
cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and I didn't do -- I wasn't doing any
plumbing or any electric. Everything that was done was done before I
-- he knew I had a table saw, and some wood needed to be cut. And
we were there that morning. He had left and I was there by myself just
trying to help him assist him in raising the cabinets.
He wrote a letter, if you care to take a look at it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We'll look at it in one second.
Ian Jackson, would you please elaborate on what you found and
why these citations were issued.
MR. JACKSON: Yes. On August 17th, I observed signs of
construction at 2537 King's Lake Boulevard and approached the home
where I met with Mr. Miller who did indeed tell me that he was
elevating the bathroom vanity, making it higher.
I asked Mr. Miller to let me into the bathroom so I could verify
whether a building permit was required for this work, and it was not
required. There was the removal of electrical fixtures and removal of
plumbing fixtures.
I talked with Mr. Miller about his licensing. He stated that he
had recently received a handyman type business tax receipt. We
talked at some length about what the restrictions are with that type of
business.
I then asked Mr. Miller about the job in the bathroom and if
anyone else had been working in there, if there's another arrangement
for someone else to come in and reinstall these plumbing fixtures and
electrical fixtures, and I was led to believe that through testimony of
Page 48
16 I 1 1i~
October 21, 2009
Mr. Miller's that he was going to be reinstalling -- I believe the way it
was worded, the existing fixtures were going to be reinstalled.
Based on that, the alteration to the vanity is cabinet installation
license. The reinstallation of whether they're existing or not,
installation of plumbing and electrical fixtures requires a plumbing
and electrical contracting license. Unfortunately Mr. Miller has none
of these.
Based on what I was told in the field through the testimony of
Mr. Miller, I issued the three citations.
And subsequent to this I did speak with the homeowner and
explained to the homeowner how things can proceed, either as the
owner/builder himself physically doing it or by the hiring of a licensed
contractor to finish the job.
MR. MILLER: He did mention -- when he asked, you know, I
told him what the homeowner told me, that he was putting them back
in. He was doing the electrical work and the plumbing work. All he
did was asked me to help him raise the cabinets because I had a saw --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You had a saw.
MR. MILLER: -- table saw. It needed to be cut.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did you go physically take the cabinets
and unscrew them and --
MR. MILLER: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- the plumbing and raise it up?
MR. MILLER: No, sir. He disconnected everything. Everything
was done. I've got a letter right here. This is from Bob. And he --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is it a notarized letter?
MR. MILLER: No. It's signed.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I don't want to see it.
MR. MILLER: Okay. All he was -- all I was there to do is to
help him assist him in raising the cabinets, because he didn't have a
table saw to do it. So I was there to help him.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Jackson, when he was --
Page 49
161 1 A?J
October 21, 2009
MR. MILLER: It had nothing to do with the electric or
plumbing. I didn't disconnect it and I wasn't going to reconnect it. If
he needed -- if I was there to help him set them back on there, I would.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Jackson, when you appeared on the
job and you caught this work going on, was he physically doing any of
the work at the time? I mean --
MR. JACKSON: Physically altering the cabinetry while I was
there.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: While you were there.
MR. JACKSON: Now, did I physically see him installing
plumbing and electrical fixtures? No. But based on the testimony
given by Mr. Miller while I was on the job site, I felt confident that he
was going to be reinstalling those fixtures and had an arrangement or a
contract, however you want to word it, with the owner to do so.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Pleasure of the board?
MR. WHITE: May I inquire, Mr. Chair?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sure.
MR. WHITE: I understood, sir, that you have a friend. Is your
friend Bob?
MR. MILLER: Yes.
MR. WHITE: And is Bob the owner?
MR. MILLER: He's the owner of the house, yeah.
MR. WHITE: Okay. I just wanted to make sure that was in the
record.
Question to staff: We're seeing this and you've already heard one
of the board members comment about it, multiple citations. Certainly
we have a circumstance where we have a handyman who has done
work, regardless of what that work is, beyond the scope of his license.
And it would seem certainly that's a citation that could have been
issued.
And I think part of what our challenge here today is if this is
going to be a pattern and practice staff is going to follow, is that we're
Page 50
OCtO!~l~ 200! A3
going to have to look at very specifically the facts of each one of these
citations, starting with the first one we had this morning and working
our way forward.
The point being, I'd have no problem, based on what the
testimony has been so far, that he had done work beyond the scope of
his license.
When you start to put us in a position where we've got to analyze
whether he offended some other series of licenses, then it's going to be
for me a higher evidentiary burden for the staff to prove those things.
And when I look at it, what I hear is the guy say one thing, and I
understand what he understood and thought he'd said about what his
intentions were. But it seems to fit together to me that yes, he may
have been helping the guy with the cabinet, and that puts me in a
position where relative to that citation I'm going to ask him some more
questions, if I may, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Urn-hum.
MR. WHITE: Were you promised anything in exchange for
helping Bob?
MR. MILLER: No. We talked about nothing. He asked if! had
a saw and I said yeah. And he -- I like to do things. And I brought my
table saw over there and was cutting the wood and he was called away
for a couple hours, for a few hours. And during that time Mr. Jackson
showed up.
And, you know, I didn't have any problem showing him -- I
didn't -- I was working on it with Bob.
MR. WHITE: Okay.
MR. MILLER: I mean, he wasn't --
MR. WHITE: If! may, I'd like to see the letter. I understand that
it's not sworn, but it has some --
MR. NEALE: It certainly has probative benefit. Because thus far
everything you've heard as far as the electrical and plumbing
contracting is purely hearsay.
Page 51
161
1 It,
October 21, 2009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. NEALE: So therefore one hearsay is equivalent to another
hearsay, basically.
MR. WHITE: Right.
MR. NEALE: And frankly, the letter probably has more
probative value than hearsay. While someone didn't see anybody
doing any electrical contracting or plumbing but there happened to be
electrical outlets disconnected and plumbing disconnected and the guy
happened to be standing there.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right. I would think that under the
circumstances, I don't think we really need to see the letter at this time,
I don't think, unless the board does. But I can --
MR. NEALE: Well, you do have one of the board members who
wants to see it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. I can just make a quick comment
first.
Ifwe have three citations, and physically we're going by Mr.
Jackson's knowledge as far as what he saw that was physically there at
the job. The plumbing was disconnected and electrical was
disconnected, but he didn't actually see him doing those trades.
He did see him remove the cabinets. So just a comment could be
we could issue a guilt factor on one of the charges, and unfortunately
we cannot -- don't have the proof or evidence to justify the other two.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, I'll forego looking at the letter if
you allow me to make a motion that says that we would dismiss 4971
for unlicensed electrical, 4972 for unlicensed plumbing, and uphold
the citation for 4970, unlicensed cabinet install.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is that a motion?
MR. WHITE: That is a motion.
MR. BOYD: Second, Boyd.
MR. JERULLE: Discussion?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Discussion.
Page 52
16' 1 A~
October 21, 2009
MR. JERULLE: But what -- I know as a general contractor,
Michael, what my responsibilities are when I go onto a job site, so to
speak. Let's assume this is a job site.
What responsibilities does a handyman have as far as notifying or
making sure things are done the right way?
MR. OSSORIO: Well, there's no license for handyman, it's a
business tax receipt. So we don't really regulate handyman other than
what you see in front of you, what he can and cannot do.
He can't sub the work out, he can't do the work. Basically the
only thing he can do is those items that are specified under his
signature that he can't, can or will not do. So I have no problem
dismissing those two charges.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Lykos?
MR. L YKOS: I think this is going to be a recurring problem for
us in the near future till the market gets better. But I have a serious
concern with the fact that a handyman occupational tax even exists.
Anybody can take the time and invest the resources to get a residential
builders license, get a general contractor's license, and then we don't
have these misunderstandings, these he said/she said situations.
To me the handyman license is a way to get the absolute
minimum that you can to get by. And the more times we see
handymen that are doing -- I won't say doing -- associated or standing
next to somebody else who might be doing plumbing or electrical to
me is just an excuse, it's an easy way out. It's an excuse to not put the
effort in to get a real license and do the work legitimately.
And I will never be in support of the handyman occupational tax
and a person that doesn't want to put the effort into getting a license,
getting insurance and doing things the right way. This is an excuse for
people to do kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and try to use
the gray areas and the laws that exist to get around doing things the
right way.
You put the homeowner at risk, you put the property at risk, and
Page 53
161 1 P\,
October 21, 2009
you put us in a position where we're trying to decide who's telling the
truth and who isn't telling the truth. And then we get a letter after the
fact about a homeowner is going to say what his intentions were? I
just don't like any of it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That's why I don't need to see the letter.
MR. JERULLE: I agree.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Because anyone can say that. I mean, I
can have somebody write a letter that's false, I mean, just to save my
$300.
MR. LANTZ: My opinion is if the homeowner really felt they
were responsible, then they'd be standing next to him.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, exactly.
MR. LANTZ: And I've seen that maybe once and I've seen an
awful lot of letters, and I take them with a grain of salt.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I think under the situation with what
we're doing here with the one citation, I think we're totally correct.
The other two we can't really prove, but the one we can.
So there's a motion and second on the floor. I'll call for the vote.
All those in favor of upholding one of the three citations, which is the
cabinet installation citation is found guilty on and the other two
citations he's found -- are dismissed.

You understand now, right? One $300 fine for the cabinets --
MR. MILLER: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- and the other two you got a break on.
MR. MILLER: Where do I have to --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You'll go down to Collier County, down
to the development services on Horseshoe Drive.
MR. MILLER: Horseshoe Drive?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes. Go into licensing and they'll take
care of you.
MR. MILLER: All right. Do I have any time? A week, two
weeks?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Ten days.
MR. MILLER: Ten days, okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You're welcome.
MR. L YKOS: Michael, before we move on, I want to make sure
everybody understands. The reason that you end up with several
citations for handyman is a general contractor, if I was doing that
bathroom project, I would have a pem1it, I would have a licensed
electrician on-site, I would have a licensed plumber on-site. There'd
be no question who was doing the work.
And if Ian or Michael or somebody else came on-site, well,
number one, they'd already know there's a permit on the job, they'd
already know who the licensed plumber and electrician were. They
wouldn't even have to come on-site to begin with.
Anymore handymen come up in front of me, they're guilty.
MR. OSSORIO: Well, there's another handyman coming -- no,
just kidding.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You know, I think some of this problem
with handymen is not so much the handymen, but I think it's the handy
people out there. I think what they're trying to do is maybe in some
way save a dollar, and I'm not real fond of that. I mean, we're here to
uphold the citizens of Collier County, but it seems like the citizens of
Page 55
161 ~?
October 21, 2009
Collier County are just making us fine these people all the time.
MR. WHITE: Well, one of the unfortunate aspects, Mr.
Chairman, I guess of being the consumer advocate type person on the
board is that I see it both ways. And if an owner/builder wants to do
those things and the law allows them to and the guy testifies he's not
being compensated -- I'm not trying to help people find ways around
the law, I'm just saying those are the facts that were put in front of us.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. WHITE: And I so hopefully by this time could clarify why
it is that I -- I agree with Mr. Lykos, I get it. But on the other hand,
you know, we're stuck with what we got.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We have to change the law then.
MR. NEALE: And for the board's reference, I mean, you know,
the Florida legislature did see fit to put in the exemption in 489. And
so --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yeah, how dumb was that?
MR. NEALE: -- until -- unless and until contractors can
convince the Florida legislature to remove the exemption, it's going to
be in there.
MR. L YKOS: Well, you know what? Go paint a fence, but don't
do a bathroom remodel.
MR. LANTZ: However, one thing on there was if I go to
remodel a bathroom and all I'm doing is changing out a vanity, they
won't let me do it without a building permit, plumbing permit and
electrical permit. Whereas Ian mentioned earlier that no permit was
required.
I don't know if that's discrimination because I'm a contractor or if
it's an oversightment (sic) by Ian, but that's the way it is. I can't go in
and say I want to do this without getting a plumbing permit for it.
MR.OSSORlO: Well, I'll just clarify that real quick.
If it's a -- we're dealing with three jurisdictions: City of Naples,
Marco Island and Collier County. We've spent a million times with
Page 56
16 j 1ll?
October 21,2009
Bob Dunn, with DSAC over the last two months clarifying what the
exemptions are for residential. It's a good tool.
As a matter of fact, when it gets approved I want to bring it to
you and share it and we'll go over it line by line so we're on the same
page, just for informational purposes.
But right now if you're just changing out cabinets, like for like, if
it's under $750 then doesn't require a building permit on a residential
property. It is going to go up to 1,500 in the near future ifit gets
approved by the Board of County Commission by the exemptions.
So it's a case-by-case. If you were in the City of Marco Island,
you probably require a building permit. If you were in Collier
County, if you just change out a vanity, it probably wouldn't require a
building permit unless it's on a commercial site, then it's totally
different. So -- and what I mean commercial, I mean condo,
condominium and stuff like that.
And the City of Naples is the same way. If you're just changing
out a vanity in a single-family home, it doesn't require it unless it's a --
you know, money-wise.
So we'll deal with that when the board looks at that in November.
I'll bring that paper back and we'll look at the exemptions so we're all
on the same page.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What if you were doing a cabinet and a
toilet, would that be still under the same exemption?
MR. OSSORIO: If you're just changing out -- if you are doing
flooring in the bathroom and you have to take the -- the plumber
comes out and takes out the toilet and takes out the vanity, you redo
the tile and the plumber comes in and resets it, I don't think it requires
a building permit, no.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Wow. What do they consider a
renovation? I mean, what is the renovation be start and stop (sic)?
MR. L YKOS: Here's what I'll tell you my concern is.
Specifically with raising a cabinet, typically -- and Terry and Kyle
Page 57
OC!b~r 11, 2~9.kJ
could probably back this up. You've got an outlet that's close to the
countertop height. So now you raise the cabinet. Now the outlet's got
to be moved. And if it's an old building it's probably not a GFI
protected outlet.
And now that person decides he's going to sell his home and
advertise it as a remodeled bathroom. You probably have an outlet
that's been relocated not by a licensed plumber -- I mean licensed
electrician. It probably isn't a GFI. There's a --
MR. OSSORIO: Well, if you're doing--
MR. L YKOS: -- reason why we're required to pull permits.
MR.OSSORIO: If you are doing not -- if you're like for like, if
you're changing an outlet and you're moving the outlet, that will hold
true, you require an inspection. But if you're just changing out the
vanity, taking out the trap, whatever it is, and changing out from a
Home Depot style, then a permit wouldn't be required.
I don't agree with the whole aspect of the exemptions, and Bob
Dunn knows that, some of it. But we heard from DSAC, and it's a
good working document. And I'll bring it back to you and we'll look at
it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, sounds good.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay.
MR. NEALE: Break?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, let's see. The last person on the
agenda --
MR. LYKOS: Break.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm sorry?
MR. NEALE: Break.
MR.OSSORIO: If you could just do two things real quick.
Todd Grup is not going to be here. We can strike him off.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Strike him off.
MR. OSSORIO: And if I can just give -- have three minutes of
Mr. Sinclair, then we could take a break for 15. Is that okay with the
Page 58
o!t~e! 21, ~09 kb
court reporter?
THE COURT REPORTER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Also, Mr. Bain, did he ever show up?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No. You want to strike him off then.
Okay, go ahead.
MR. OSSORIO: Several months ago we had a -- Mr. Sinclair go
in front -- you have it in front of you. He was put on probation and he
was ordered to go ahead and provide the county with certain items to
keep himself on probation.
Unfortunately Mr. Sinclair, we're not able to find him. He is no
longer around. I cannot get his information, which required (sic) by
the order of the findings of fact.
So therefore, I wish to make a motion that he's on probation, that
we revoke his Collier County electrical license and let me proceed
with the state to revoke his state registration.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: He hasn't done nothing with the credit
application --
MR. OSSORIO: Nothing.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- and what we asked him to do, right?
MR. OSSORIO: Nothing.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, then I just need a motion.
MR. WHITE: Just point of -- so moved, but -- well, let me see if
I clearly understand what the desired motion is, is to revoke the
current license that's on probation. And are we making a
recommendation to CILB?
MR. OSSORIO: I don't think -- when he is a state registered
contractor, it's not more of a recommendation, it's more of I'll write a
letter to the executive director, letting him know that his license
certificate has been revoked; therefore, his state registration needs to
be the same.
I don't know what the process is. It might go to the CLB, it
Page 59
16 J 1 ~?
October 21, 2009
might be something administrative that the CLB executive does. But
that's going to be up to them.
MR. WHITE: So the form of the motion would be to -- as to the
second part to direct the staff to send an appropriate communication of
what our action is to the proper licensing authority.
MR. NEALE: Right.
MR. OSSORlO: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. NEALE: Yeah. And pursuant, you know, to the order
issued, whatever the date of the original order was that his license is
revoked, because there was a specific provision as to revocation in that
order.
MR. WHITE: And the form of the motion, I would assume,
either it being read into the record, if approved, will include those
kinds of findings of fact as to the specifics. But for the purposes of
making the motion, it is to revoke and direct staff.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. WHITE: So moved.
MR. HORN: Second, Horn.
MR. LANTZ: Second, Lantz.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second. All in favor--
discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All in favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
Page 60
16 I 1 A'9
October 21,2009
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No. Motion carries unanimously.
Okay, now we can take a break, right? Okay, it's 10:41. How
about till -- 10 minutes, 15 minutes? What do you need? Ten-minute
break? Okay, 10 minutes so it would be 10 to 11 :00, please.
(Recess.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'll call to order the Contractor Licensing
Board, October 21st meeting.
Next item on the agenda are three -- I assume three public
hearings. Case No. 2009-11, 2009-12 and 2009-13. Are all the
occupants -- I mean, all the respondents present, all three cases?
They are all here.
MR. OSSORIO: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I just have a -- I'm sorry?
MR. OSSORIO: I believe that Mr. Atchison is not here. Case
No. 2009-11.
MR. NEALE: Could you call him by name just to make sure that
we have it on the record?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Patrick H. Atchison, are you
present?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No.
MR. OSSORIO: Do you want to wait and then go down?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We'll skip and then we'll come back, in
case he shows up.
MR. OSSORIO: That's fine.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I have something to read first as
far as how these proceedings go. And I'd like all respondents to pay
attention just for a moment, please, while I read this to you.
This is basically the proceedings of how we conduct these cases.
The hearings are conducted pursuant to the procedures set out in
Collier County Ordinance No. 90-105, as amended, in the Florida
Page 61
161 1
October 21, 2009 1t?J
Statutes, Chapter 489.
These hearings are quasi judicial in nature. Formal rules of
evidence shall not apply. Fundamental fairness and due process shall
be observed and shall govern the proceedings.
Irrelevant, immaterial or cumulative evidence shall be excluded,
but all other evidence of the type commonly relied upon by a
reasonably prudent person from the conduct of their affairs shall be
admissible, whether or not such evidence would be admissible in a
trial in the courts of the State of Florida.
Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing
or explaining any evidence, but shall not be sufficient by itself to
support findings, unless such hearsay would be admissible over
objection in civil actions in court.
The rules of privilege shall be effective to the same extent that
they are now, or hereafter may be recognized in civil actions.
Any member of the Contractor Licensing Board may question
any witness before the board. Each party to the proceedings shall
have the right to call and examine witnesses, to introduce exhibits, to
cross-examine witnesses, to impeach any witness, regardless of which
party called the witness to testify, and to rebut any evidence presented
against the party.
The chair person or -- myself, or the vice-chairman, Mr. Lykos,
shall have all the powers to conduct the proceedings of the hearing in
full, fair and impartial manner, and to preserve order and decorum.
The general process of the hearing is for the county to present an
opening statement where it sets out the charges and in general terms
how it intends to prove them.
Respondent then makes his or her opening statements, setting out
in general terms the defenses to the charges.
The county then presents its case in chief, calling witnesses and
presenting evidence.
The respondent may cross-examine these witnesses.
Page 62
161 1
October 21, 2009
A3
Once the county has closed its case in chief, then the respondent
puts on his or her defense. They may call witnesses and do all the
things described earlier; that is, call and examine witnesses to
introduce exhibits, cross-examine witnesses to impeach any witness,
regardless of which party called the witnesses to testify, and to rebut
any evidence presented against the party.
After the respondent's put on his or her case, the county gets to
present a rebuttal to the respondent's presentation.
When the rebuttal is concluded, then each party gets to present
closing statements in which the county gets a second chance to rebut
after the respondent's closing argument.
The board then closes public hearing and begins deliberations.
Prior to beginning deliberations, the attorney for the board will
give them in (sic) charge, much like a charge to a jury, setting out the
parameters on which they base their discissions.
During deliberations the board can ask for additional information
and clarification from the parties.
The board will then decide two different issues: First whether the
respondent is guilty of the offenses charged in the administrative
complaint of what will be taken in this matter.
If the respondent is found guilty, then the board must decide the
sanctions to be imposed. The board attorney at this point will advise
the board the sanctions which may be imposed and the factors to
consider. The board will discuss sanctions and take a vote on those.
After the two matters are decided, the chair, or in absence the
vice chair, will read a summary to the order to be issued by the board.
This summary will set out basic outline of the order, but will not
be exactly the same language as the final order. The final order will
include full details required under state law and procedures.
Everyone kind of understands where we're going here with this?
Okay, I'll make one quick comment before we start the first case.
We've been asked by the person that carries on the video that
Page 63
16 I 1 ~?
October 21, 2009
being very unfamiliar with all the faces and the voices here, if as we're
getting into the conversations and the questionings, if each one of the
board members would please raise their hand, that way the camera can
zoom in on your conversations and we can be physically seen on
television. As you all know, we are on TV.
So okay, with that said, is that by chance Mr. Atchison?
MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, okay.
Then I'm going to go to the next case. Case No. 2009-12.
License number is 12053. Alva Lee Porter, are you present?
MR. PORTER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Could you please come to the podium
and be sworn in, please.
(Mr. Jackson, Mr. Porter and Mr. Ketis were duly sworn.)
THE COURT REPORTER: Your name is?
MR. KETIS: James Ketis.
THE COURT REPORTER: Could you spell it, please.
MR. KETIS: K-E-T-I-S.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Porter, you have an administrative
complaint that was filed against you regarding a -- contracting to do
any work outside the scope of his or her competency as listed on your
competency card and as defined as ordinance or as restricted by the
Contractors Licensing Board. Are you aware of the count?
MR. PORTER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. I'll open it up with Mr. Jackson.
Are you going to present this?
MR. JACKSON: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: If you would, give your opening
statements, please.
MR. JACKSON: My opening statement?
On August 25th of this year I received a call from a structural
inspector employed by the City of Marco Island, Kim Ferris,
Page 64
16' 1 NJ;
October 21, 2009
regarding unpermitted concrete restoration being performed at 901
South Collier Boulevard. It is a commercial building, four-story;
stilted on the ground floor and three finished stories there, four-story
building.
The county will show evidence that the work being performed on
this structure is out of the scope of a painting contractor. General
contractor would be required for the permitting. General contractor or
concrete contractor would have to physically do the work that was
being performed by employees of Mr. Porter.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Mr. Porter, would you like to
give an opening statement to us, please.
MR. PORTER: Yes, we had -- Mr. Jackson is absolutely right
about everything he's saying there.
We're not really here to dispute the charges. I would like to say,
we've been in business 37 years. We've had a great track record in
Collier County.
There were extenuating circumstances with this building was
why our normal protocol was not followed. And Jim Ketis is my
business partner, he's in charge of Collier County. And I'll let Jim go
ahead and explain why this --
MR. KETIS: Well, basically what--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just for the record, what is your name
again?
MR. KETIS: James Ketis.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. KETIS: And basically my standing on this is we had a
painting contract for the building, including that was to remove spray
crete off all the walkways, which does fall within our license.
My guys started the project middle of August, removing the
spray crete.
Unfortunately I had a death in the family. I went to Europe.
They called me in Europe, told me that when they were removing the
Page 65
161 1 {Yl;J
October 21, 2009
spray crete there was spalling areas that was coming up with it from
rebar corrosion.
My direction to them, which understandably now were wrong,
were just take off whatever comes off and keep going till I get there.
And once we get there we'll follow the protocol which is we'll get the
board to decide on an engineer and then we'll bring in a GC to take
care of the spalls and we can continue on with the painting.
We didn't put anything back. All we did was remove areas that
were spalling. I understand that's not part of it. But at that point I'm
thinking just open everything up and then when I get back we'll get an
engineer like we do on every other building down here and then we'll
get the GC to fix it so we can continue on.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What kind of tools were you using when
you were removing it?
MR. KETIS: I was using chipping hammers with the -- to
remove the spray crete, I was using a six-inch chisel on it, trying to get
it off.
And unfortunately the spray crete, all the areas that were spalling
were attached to the spray crete. When the spray crete was coming up
was affecting the open areas.
But I did tell them, clean up the areas till further discussion till I
get back.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Mr. Jackson, you want to
continue with your presentation of the case?
MR. JACKSON: Certainly.
I think by the testimony of Mr. Porter that we had just heard, I
think he -- I think he admitted to the violation.
A general contractor is required for a building permit. Only a
general contractor can get that permit because of the height of the
building and the structural aspects of the work. A painting contractor
certainly may -- if spray crete is part of the process to prepare the
building for painting, that very well may be. But we did get down into
Page 66
octo~~ 2 t 20~ It,
the structural aspects of those elevated decks.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, the county rests its case. We're
not going to present any more evidence other than what's in the
packet.
MR. ZACHARY: Mr. Chairman, we need to admit the packet
into evidence.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right. I need a motion to enter Case No.
2009-12 into evidence.
MR. LANTZ: So moved, Lantz.
MR. JERULLE: Second, Jerulle.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second.
All in favor?
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
Pleasure of the board? Questions?
MR. WHITE: If! may, Mr. Chairman?
One of the statements in the summary, Mr. Jackson, is in the last
paragraph that there had been a same violation in May of 2007. And
that seems to be the reason why this case is brought to our board.
Two parts question. What proof do you have other than what
you've told us in the summary of what that violation precisely was?
And help me to understand why the second violation is what brings it
here as an administrative complaint. I probably should know the
answer to the second one, but --
Page 67
16 I 1 A"J
October 21, 2009
MR. OSSORIO: I'll answer that second question, because that's
not Ian Jackson's duty.
Under the code, it explicitly says that the contractor licensing
supervisor shall do the investigation to determine if an administrative
complaint is warranted. I look at that, I look at the evidence, I look at
the priors, and I also look at the wave of who's complaining and if
there's any restitution or there's any financial harm. And that's how I
determine what cases are brought before the licensing board.
Other than that, it is my jurisdiction and my responsibility to do
so, not the board's.
MR. WHITE: Okay. Can either of you respond to the first part
of the question about what May, 2007 was all about?
MR. OSSORIO: Ian can tell you that.
MR. JACKSON: That was my case as well. I believe they had a
painting contract. At a minimum I think it was a four-story building
where they were refurbishing engineered elevated concrete decks,
where I cited them for unlicensed concrete or unlicensed general
contracting and commencing work with no building permit.
And they were cited at that time because A, it was their first
offense, and B, there was no financial harm to a homeowner or a
customer of theirs.
Obviously when there's an identical violation on an adjacent
property, I was left no choice but to schedule this meeting, per
Michael Ossorio.
MR. OSSORIO: There are two issues: One is the -- there were
two cases: One for working without a license that was done in-house
by administrative. And two, we conducted the investigation, we
issued a verbal warning, reprimand to this contractor not to work
outside the scope of his or her license. So there were two issues: One
is unlicensed, but we took care of, administrative in our office, that
was paid. And two, we issued a verbal warning about working outside
the scope of his or her license.
Page 68
1~ I' .A?J
Octo~r 21, 2~09
MR. WHITE: My point of my two questions was to get at
whether the mention of the same violation was intended to justify
bringing the case to the CLB or it was also potentially being
mentioned for the purposes that it might be an aggravating factor in
any penalty that would be imposed. So I'm just trying to understand
what kind of brought us here today.
MR. OSSORIO: That information is just for informational
purposes only . You may do whatever you wish with that statement.
That is not an aggregated issue to me. The aggregated issue is
the City of Marco Island is pretty upset and they want action taken.
So they were the person that actually made the initial complaint and
we upheld the administrative aspect of it and bring it to the licensing
board, so that's why we're here today.
MR. WHITE: If I may of the respondent, and then I'm hopefully
done.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That's okay, go ahead.
MR. WHITE: What floor of the structure were you doing the
work on? Four decks, I understand?
MR. KETIS: Four floors, correct.
MR. WHITE: All four?
MR. KETIS: To an extent. I mean, some of them more than
others. We had to remove all the spray crete on all the walkways.
MR. WHITE: Got it.
MR. KETIS: That's how we started.
MR. WHITE: And as far as the May of2007, do you have any
information about that, or should I --
MR. KETIS: That was a deck of the building called the Essex. It
was a four-story. They removed all the screen cages, the contractor,
had us come in there and apply waterproofing membrane on the decks.
And that's what we did. And we found one spalling area that was 16
inches by two coming down that we covered up, and that's when we
came in. That was one of my ex-competitors, ex-employers that
Page 69
octlpA, 201 If?
actually was the informant on that one. But that's what that was.
MR. WHITE: What I'm trying to get at, sir, is there's two ways
of seeing this: One is that that is what led you to understand the May
event of 2007.
MR. KETIS: Right.
MR. WHITE: Of what would be required now. And I
understand the exigent circumstances of being out of the country, et
cetera, et cetera. And I appreciate you being here essentially saying
you're not contesting it.
What I'm kind of looking down the pipeline here is where's strike
three?
MR. PORTER: Well, if! could answer that.
MR. WHITE: And I'm not trying to talk about speculative stuff,
I'm just saying, once, twice.
MR. KETIS: Well, and also, this particular time, the second
time, there was no purpose meaning to it as far as me doing anything
intentionally. Okay, me removing spalling areas, concrete that's
coming off the spray crete, I just assumed -- and it's a wrong thing to
say assumed -- that just keep going, removing the spray crete,
whatever comes off, when it comes off then we go our merry way.
THE COURT REPORTER: Mr. Ketis, would you slow down?
MR. KETIS: Oh, I'm sorry.
THE COURT REPORTER: And please get on the microphone.
MR. KETIS: I'm sorry. Sorry about that.
So it was no intention there. And my assumption was as long as
the concrete that was already spalling was coming out, we can go
ahead and remove that and not fill anything in, not touch rebars, not
cut rebars until we get an engineer in here with a licensed GC to do
the work so we can continue on with the painting.
MR. WHITE: Well, let me just kind of point out to you that what
a painting contractor talks about doing, using spray equipment as well
as hand tools to finish both exterior and interior work, sandblasting,
Page 70
161 1
October 21, 2009
A?J
waterproofing and may clean and paint roofs.
So there's a pretty bright line on what it is that is permissible,
even in the removing of spray crete. And so I'm encouraging you that
if they're going to be using these kind of power tools, you're crossing
the line.
MR. KETIS: Okay.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well, let's just say one quick thing. Mr.
Julie (sic). Let Mr. Julie speak, please.
MR. JERULLE: When I first saw the photos, it appears that
you're also, besides using a chipping hammer, you're using a saw?
MR. KETIS: Right.
MR. JERULLE: So you're taking more off than what is just
coming up with the chipping hammer.
MR. KETIS: Well, we're squaring up the areas that were coming
up --
MR. JERULLE: You're using a saw to cut concrete.
MR. KETIS: Correct.
MR. JERULLE: Did you shore the platforms below?
MR. KETIS: Yes.
MR. JERULLE: Okay. So you shored the floor below the floor
that you were working on.
MR. KETIS: All three floors.
MR. JERULLE: There again, you wouldn't normally do that if
you were just taking off what is coming off.
MR. KETIS: Right, right.
MR. JERULLE: Understand what I'm saying?
MR. KETIS: I understand what you're--
MR. JERULLE: This is premeditated in a sense that you knew to
shore the floors because you're cutting structural --
MR. KETIS: No, no, I've got to reinstate (sic) that, okay? The
floors are shored now okay, due to engineer's specifications.
MR. JERULLE: So they weren't at the time.
Page 71

MR. KETIS: No, they were not.
MR. JERULLE: Okay. Well, then that brings up a separate
Issue --
MR. KETIS: Okay.
MR. JERULLE: -- that you didn't know what you were doing.
MR. KETIS: Right.
MR. JERULLE: And all the more reason why that you should be
here is that you're cutting a structural deck and you're putting people's
lives in danger by doing so and not shoring up the concrete.
MR. PORTER: If! could add one thing to that.
The earlier incident we pretty much got a good knowledge of
what we are to do and are not to do. What we haven't mentioned was
Jim called me because he said, I've got to go out oftown, my father's
dying, I don't know how long we'll be gone.
I said, I can come in, take over of everything.
He says, don't worry about it, I can keep in touch with everybody
by phone, the guys know what to do, so on, so forth.
He gets the call in Greece. The last conversation he had with our
foreman, everything's coming up. We didn't realize that the guys were
going ahead and taking it upon themselves to go ahead and square it
up and do the different things, because they're used to engineers
coming in, doing the things. They didn't have -- they didn't follow
protocol. In the meantimes, he's in the mountains, cell phone quits
working --
MR. JERULLE: I understand that. But I don't accept it. I
understand it but I don't accept it.
It is your job as the owner of this company to be aware of what
your workers are doing. Especially if your workers are putting other
lives in danger. And that's what they're doing by cutting structural
concrete decks on four floors without shoring it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Kyle, would you like to speak?
MR. LANTZ: I just have two things: One, I think you probably
Page 72
16 i 1
October 21, 2009
A'?
know what you're doing, and I would recommend just get a general
contractor's license and you won't be here again.
And my next question is to Michael, I guess, is what's the staff
recommend for this?
MR. L YKOS: We're not there yet.
MR. NEALE: We're not to that point.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We're not to that point yet.
MR. NEALE: Because there's been no finding of any liability.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Through your own testimony, I'm getting
the picture that you're admitting that you are guilty of the offense.
MR. KETIS: Oh, yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Which -- you are Mr. Porter? You are
the license holder?
MR. PORTER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And you are what capacity in the
company?
MR. KETIS: Vice president.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Vice president.
MR. KETIS: Correct.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: But Mr. Porter, you hold the license?
MR. PORTER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just one quick question for you then.
When Mr. Ketis had to leave town, and normally I assume this --
those types of responsibilities -- supervisor call them superintendents,
call them vice president, call them -- when he left town, did you
realize that the burden now falls totally on you because of your license
and because you are the license holder?
MR. PORTER: Well, with--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Not to say because you call your vice
president and say well, I can get this handled over the phone, don't
worry about it. That's your first concern that you should have had.
You should have been very worried about it because it is your license
Page 73

and your job.
MR. PORTER: Well, I really wasn't that aware of the scope of
the work they were doing on that particular --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Why not?
MR. PORTER: -- or I would have came down.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Why weren't you aware of that?
MR. PORTER: Well, Jim's full partner in the business. He takes
care of the -- he don't give me every detail of every job.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm not going to buy that.
MR. KETIS: You're in Indiana.
MR. PORTER: I'm in Indiana.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You're in Indiana.
MR. PORTER: I'm in Indiana.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So neither one of you are at the job site.
MR. KETIS: No, I'm here.
MR. PORTER: That's what I'm saying when he--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Who went to Greece?
MR. PORTER: When he said he had--
MR. KETIS: Oh, I went to Greece, yes.
MR. PORTER: -- to go to Greece, he calls me. I said, I'll come
down. He said he didn't think it was necessary, the guys knew what to
do.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So ifhe went to Greece and you're in
Indiana, so there's nobody at the job, correct?
MR. PORTER: Well, we've got n
MR. KETIS: We had a superintendent--
MR. PORTER: We've got the same superintendents we've had
for 15 years. And between the communication on the phone, we felt it
would be okay, but we were mistaken.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Any other questions from the
board?
(No response.)

CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: County rests its case.
Any other respondents, any other rebuttals to anything that's been
said?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No. Okay, then I think we've pretty
much got this one.
Any further questions from the board members?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm going to ask for a motion. Give your
closing statements, Ian?
MR. JACKSON: No, the county will rest. I'll be available for
questions if anyone has them, though.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I don't see a reason -- I don't see any
questions on the board coming up so I don't --
MR. JERULLE: No, I have a question. I'm sorry, Ian.
The -- he mentioned -- I'm sorry, Mr. Kennette?
MR. KETIS: Ketis.
MR. JERULLE: Ketis, I'm sorry. Mentioned that the project is
shored now. Have you been back to the project?
MR. JACKSON: I have not.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is it completed?
MR. KETIS: No, there's an engineer on-site now doing weekly
inspections, and they have a GC doing all the spallings and --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I assume then the building has still not
been painted?
MR. KETIS: No, it hasn't. We're actually in the middle process
right now doing the front of it. Because there's no -- nothing in the
front. The work was all in the back.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Does this size project require a permit?
MR. KETIS: Permits have been pulled.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Permits have been pulled?
MR. KETIS: Oh, yeah.

Okay, I'll ask for a motion and we'll close the public hearing.
MR. L YKOS: Motion to close the hearing, Lykos.
MR. WHITE: Second, White.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion to close the public hearing, a
motion and a second. All those in favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
Okay, if you would like you can sit down for a moment, we're
going to deliberate here and corne up with our findings here.
MR. NEALE: Let me just --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Neale?
MR. NEALE: Yeah, what I'll do today, because we have two
cases back-to-back, is essentially I'll just do this the one time and if
the board has any questions after the subsequent case, certainly please
ask it. But in the case of -- for the interest of expediting the process
today, I'll do that.
The board shall ascertain in its deliberations that fundamental
fairness and due process were afforded to the respondent in this and all
the cases. However, pursuant to Section 22-202.0.5 of the Collier
County Ordinance, the formal Rules of Evidence as set out in Florida
Statutes do not apply.
Page 76
octo~e~ 2 t 201 A 3
The board shall consider solely evidence presented at this hearing
in consideration of the matter. The board shall exclude from its
deliberations irrelevant, immaterial and cumulative testimony and
shall admit and consider all other evidence of a type commonly relied
upon by a reasonably prudent person in the conduct of their affairs.
As noted previously in other cases, hearsay may be used to
explain or supplement any other evidence, but hearsay by itself is not
sufficient to support a finding in this or any other case unless
admissible over objection in civil court.
The standard of proof in this case in particular and both cases
being heard today where the respondent may lose his or her privileges
to practice his or her profession is that the evidence presented by the
complainant must prove the complainant's case in a clear and
convincing manner. This burden of proof on the complainant is a
larger burden than the preponderance of evidence case set out as a
standard in normal civil cases.
The standard in evidence are to be weighed solely as to the
charges set out in the complaint, is Ordinance Section 4.1.2 in both
cases, which is contracting to do any work outside the scope of his or
her competency as listed on his or her competency card and as defined
in this ordinance or as restricted by the Contractors Licensing Board.
In order to support a finding that the respondent is in violation,
the board must find facts to show that the violations were actually
committed by the respondent. The facts must also show to a clear and
convincing standard the legal conclusion that the respondent was in
violation of the relevant sections of the Collier County ordinance.
These charges are the only one (sic) that the board may decide
upon, as these are the only ones that the respondent has had the
opportunity to prepare a defense.
Any damages rewarded must be directly related to those charges,
any fines imposed and so forth. It may not be for matters not related.
The decision made by this board shall be stated orally at this
Page 77
16 j 1 t\
October 21, 2009 1i?
hearing and is effective upon being read by the board.
The respondent, if found in violation, has certain appeal rights to
this board, the courts and the State Construction Industry Licensing
Board, as set out in the statute in Florida Statutes and Rules.
If the board is unable to immediately issue a decision after the
hearing because of questions of law or other matters of such a nature
that a decision may not be made at this hearing, the board may
withhold its decision until a subsequent meeting.
The board shall vote upon the evidence presented on all areas,
and if it finds the respondent in violation, shall adopt the
administrative complaint. The board shall also make findings of fact
and conclusions of law in support of the charges set out in the
administrative complaint.
Please go ahead with your deliberations.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. What do you think, guys? Mr.
Julie (sic).
MR. JERULLE: Well, I'd like to say that, I don't know, to the
non-contractors on the board and to the contractors on the board that
haven't built a four-story building that I look at these pictures and I
cringe. There should be no one in this building when this work is
going on. And for it not to be shored is a life safety issue.
For the building inspector to raise this alarm so to speak and stop
them is absolutely correct. And for this to be done is -- I'm outraged.
I'm outraged. For this work to be done without it being shored up is a
life safety issue. And I just don't know that this person should ever
work in this county again. I don't know whether he should or not, I'm
just raising the point, that cutting this much concrete out from a deck
is unbelievable. It's a composite system. It's what holds up the
building. And you're just cutting it away.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: If the fourth floor would have by some
un stroke of luck collapsed, it probably would have taken out the other
two.
Page 78
16 i 1
October 21, 2009
A?J
MR. JERULLE: Well, ifhe's done it on all four floors, I'd be
more worried about the floor underneath where all the weight is. I'm
very concerned.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm totally in agreement with that
statement, for sure.
MR. L YKOS: Well, the first thing we have to do is determine
guilt. And the respondent has already acknowledged that.
So I'll make a motion that we find the respondent guilty of Count
1.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I have a motion. Do I have a second?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'll second the motion.
Motion and second. Any discussion on the motion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All in favor of the motion, signify by
saymg aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. LYKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
MR. NEALE: Since the board found the respondent in violation,
the board shall consider and order sanctions under the parameters set
out in Collier County ordinance and in Florida Statutes.
The sanctions which may be imposed include: The revocation of
the Certificate of Competency; suspension of the Certificate of
Competency; denial of issuance or renewal of Certificate of
Page 79
161 1
October 21, 2009
1\3
Competency; a probation of reasonable length, not to exceed two
years, during which the contractor's contracting activities shall be
under the supervision of the Contractor Licensing Board; and/or
participation in a duly accredited program of continuing education;
probation may be revoked for cause by the board at a hearing noticed
to consider said purpose; the board may order restitution; the board
may impose a fine not to exceed $10,000 per violation; they may issue
a public reprimand; they may impose a reexamination requirement;
may deny the issuance of permits or require issuance of permits with
conditions; and they may charge reasonable legal and investigative
costs.
In imposing these sanctions the board shall consider five
elements: One, the gravity of the violation; two, the impact of the
violation; three, any actions taken by the violator to correct said
violation; any previous violations committed; and any other evidence
presented at the hearing by the parties relevant as to the sanction that
is appropriate for the case, given its nature.
Board also shall issue a recommend penalty to the State
Construction Industry Licensing Board. That penalty may include a
recommendation of no further action, a recommendation of
suspension, revocation or restriction of the registration, or a fine to be
levied by the state board.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, something that I need to read to
you?
MR. NEALE: No.
MR. L YKOS: Not yet.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Not yet? Found guilty?
MR. NEALE: No.
MR. L YKOS: Terry, I've never built a four-story building, so
I'm relying on your expertise on this one.
MR. JERULLE: Well, as I said, without studying the plans or
visiting the site, I mean, just looking at these pictures and the fact that
Page 80
octote~21, 20~ A'>J
the building is shored now and the fact that the building does have a
structural engineer there overseeing the repairs, and the fact that they
admitted guilt and the fact that they've done this work, and it's no
small amount of work that they've done. If you look at the pictures,
you can see that there's concrete saws along with chipping around all
of the rebar.
This didn't come up by chipping up spray crete --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No.
MR. JERULLE: -- at all. This is a concerted effort to remove
structural concrete, okay, by an unlicensed contractor in this regard.
And without a structural engineer and without having the floor shored
or re-shored.
This is to me a -- I would not take this very lightly. This is a
serious offense. I would never allow my people or my subcontractors
to be on these floors during this circumstance without it being shored
up.
MR. L YKOS: I can tell the rest of the board, in the work that I
do I have come across projects where we expose structural damage,
and we stopped immediately, cleaned up the job site and brought an
engineer in before we did anymore work.
Because what you don't know is and what you think you're doing
is preparing the site for something, you could cause more damage in
what you think you're preparing for, because you're not an expert at
that work.
So I don't know the extent of the construction that Terry does on
four-story construction, but I do know that the way it was handled was
inappropriate. They come across something that's outside the scope of
their expertise, you stop immediately, you clean up the job site.
Doesn't matter if there isn't anybody around that can supervise the
work, you stop and you back off and you bring in the experts. And
that's not what was done.
And the fact that they went through it previously? And
Page 81
16 I 1 A3
October 21,2009
fortunately it was a small area and there should have been some
protocol within this company that if we ever chip up spray crete and
we get down into the deck and expose rebar, everybody stop,
everybody get off the job, get an engineer on site immediately.
As a matter of fact, I'm surprised that a company like this doesn't
even have an engineer that they can call immediately because of the
kind of work that they do. That they don't have an engineer that
they're associated with that they call immediately when a situation like
this arises so they've got some guidance, they go to the board of
directors for the condo association, they go to the building department,
they have an engineer and they're proactive about it.
In this case, I'm going to go out on a limb here, I would expect
that they were probably going to continue on with the work if they
hadn't been stopped.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Oh, yes, there's no doubt about that. I
mean, that was pretty much clearcut. I mean, if there wouldn't have
been someone to stop that job, it may be done by now and covered it.
I have to agree with Terry, it's totally -- I mean, this is a very
serious offense. I mean, let's just I guess praise the Lord that nothing
did happen there. But if it did, it could have been a real serious
situation.
And I just make sure -- we want to make a point here of letting
this company know that this is not going to -- that's not going to work
with the board at all.
Is there any pleasure of the board as far as any ideas? Or what's
the recommendation of staff?
MR. JACKSON: The county's recommendation is a
probationary period of 12 months, $10,000 fine and $1,000
investigative costs, both of which to be paid within 30 days.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: And ifit's not paid within 30 days?
MR. JACKSON: Revocation of the license.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman?
Page 82
161 1 It
October 21, 2009 '?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, sir, Mr. White.
MR. WHITE: As much as I think a fine communicates outrage,
what I'm concerned about is the period of time that these folks are
essentially on a leash.
And notwithstanding the staffs recommendation, I'd like to see
the probationary period be the maximum of two years, and I'd
consider reducing the fine to maybe 5,000.
But one of the conditions I think in that probation -- and I
understand it's supervised by contractor licensing -- but I would want a
specific condition in our order that for all jobs in Collier County,
municipalities and unincorporated, that the county would be notified
of all the jobs that they're working on so that they could be aware of
what they're doing and monitor their performance for at least the next
24 months.
Like I said, it's the third strike out there that we may not be so
fortunate that someone isn't harmed. I understand that they may have
not operated within the realm of their protocols. And I think a $5,000
fine communicates that as effectively as the maximum. In my mind
exchanging that for 24 months of supervision.
And lastly, as to the recommendation to Contractor Licensing at
the state, I would think any fine that they would think appropriate
could be added on as well.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: This I believe is just a county license
here, or is it a commercial? This is the county license, right?
MR. JACKSON: (Nods head affirmatively.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So it doesn't go to the state, other than
registered.
MR. WHITE: Going by what Mr. Neale had informed us of.
But if that's part of it, then I'd make that as part of the motion is that
the recommendation would be that any fines that they felt would be
appropriate should be imposed without any specific recommendation
from us.
Page 83
161 1 A1:J
October 21, 2009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm in agreement with everything that
you've said other than I think that under the circumstances and the
severity of this case, I think the $10,000 fine is definitely in line. I
don't think it's enough, quite honestly.
That's my opinion. And the two-year probation. And naturally
under the supervision of the staff.
Mr. Julie (sic)?
MR. JERULLE: I agree with you. In my mind I'm still-- you
know, one of the things that we have to be very careful about is taking
away somebody's ability to work. And when you talk about taking
away somebody's license, that's a big deal.
But in my mind in this case I'm still thinking about it. So I'm not
-- I'm not saying I'm there yet, but I don't know that I would want to
reduce the fine. But I think it's a very good idea about continuing the
probation period for two years. I like that idea.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: There is no testing involved, is there, for
painting?
MR. OSSORIO: Yes, it's a very hard test, actually. It's one of
the harder ones to take. To be a licensed painter you have to take a
trades test and you have to take a business procedure test.
But I don't think in nature of the severity and how long he's been
in business, I don't -- testing would be something that's probably not
adequate at this time. It's a waste.
But I do recommend 24 months probation. But I kind of -- if
you're going to have the gentleman call me every time he goes to a job
site, I wish it was just for a commercial site --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. OSSORIO: -- versus residential.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Well--
MR. OSSORIO: Something that, you know, ifhe's going to
paint somebody's house, you know, I don't have -- I'm too busy forthat, so is Ian.
Page 84
16 ,
1 .(1;;
October 21, 2009
So if it's going to be a commercial site --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. OSSORIO: -- then maybe if that's the board's decision, we
can proceed with that.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I would definitely go along with that as
far as commercial units goes. You can't go and check every
residential house. I mean, obviously he could do some concrete work
on a residential house also; however, it's not as detrimental as a
four-story building, or a 20-story building.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, I'd amend my motion to $10,000
and to notification of all commercial structure jobs.
MR. LANTZ: I'm just curious that if staff is going to go and visit
all these jobs, are they going to get reimbursed for the admin. time for
it?
MR. OSSORIO: Well, I don't think -- we have done this in the
past, the board has elected. It's not actually we're going to go out there
and visit the site. It's more of having the contractor call us and let us
know and give us the option to go out.
We've had a company in the past, a concrete company that was
very similar to this nature, and we would go out one out ofthree
times. And that's not a burden, due to the fact that we have four
investigators out in the field anyway. So that doesn't concern me.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I have a motion.
MR. L YKOS: Mr. White, was that a formal motion that you
made?
MR. WHITE: Yes, motion was to -- 24 months probation, staff
be notified of all commercial painting jobs, and a fine of $1 0,000 paid
within -- 30 days, was it, Mr. Jackson?
MR. JACKSON: Correct, 30 days.
MR. WHITE: And ifnot, both the fine of 10,000 and the costs
for prosecution of 1,000, paid within that 30 days, the license would
be revoked and that a letter from the board go to contractor licensing
Page 85
16 j 1 A,
October 21, 2009
at the state.
MR. NEALE: It's included in the order when submitted to the
state, so --
MR. WHITE: With a recommendation of any fine that they feel
may be appropriate.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Being a county contractor, there is no
license to the state other than registration.
MR. NEALE: Uh-huh.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right?
MR. NEALE: Yeah, but we still -- it would still be transmitted.
If he's registered with the state, it would still be --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right, so they're noticed.
MR. NEALE: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. L YKOS: Second, Lykos.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We got a second from Mr. Lykos. A
motion and a second.
Any further discussion?

categorize that as just the exhibit, or do you want to go ahead and
make that Exhibit No.1?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: It's part of the packet. Let's make it
Exhibit No.1, because--
MR. NEALE: You can make it part of the same packet.
MR. OSSORIO: It's part of the same packet? Okay, good. As
long as it's in there, that's fine.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Is this going to be something in

October 21, 2009
MR. KENNETTE: Case No. 2009-13. This case is against
Neida L. White, d/b/a Dave's Sprinkler Repair, Incorporated.
On September 8th, 2009 a preliminary complaint was filed with
our office by Dale Orphan of797 Portside Drive, Naples, Florida, that
he had contracted and made a deposit to have his sod replaced at his
home, reinstalled by d/b/a Dave's Sprinkler Repair Service.
This job was done and the video and the complainants are here,
Mr. and Mrs. Orphan, to testify to the fact of the improper installation.
MR. SMOOT: Mr. Chairman --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, sir.
MR. SMOOT: -- members of the board, my name is Tom
Smoot. I'm a lawyer. Please don't hold it against me that I come from
Fort Myers. But it's my privilege to stand before you today
representing Dave's Sprinkler Repair, represented in person by Neida
White.
As our opening, what I'd like to first comment on notably, the
charge in the Administrative Complaint is contracting to do any work
outside of the scope ofhislher competency as listed on hislher
competency card, and as defined in this ordinance or as restricted by
the Contractors Licensing Board.
Nothing about improper installation is the subject of this
complaint.
Now, specifically the competency card that Neida White/Dave's
Sprinkler Repair had -- actually, they've had one in Lee County for
seven years and in Collier County three years for irrigation.
I understand that about 18 months to two years ago Collier
County adopted a special classification, not one recognized under 489,
but one that was passed by the Collier County Board of
Commissioners that regulates landscaping separately to include sod
laying, and so that someone in order to lay sod in Collier County does
have to have that competency card in addition.
Dave's Sprinkler Repair did not have that and they did lay sod for
Page 90
161 1
October 21,2009 It,
the Orphans, the complainants.
Now, the only additional testing required for that landscaping
competency is tree pruning safety. Neida White has sat for that exam
and will be sitting for it again very soon. She drove up to Clearwater
to take that exam and then will be going to Bonita to take it the next
time, and is diligently pursuing getting licensed in that area.
She just didn't know and she was wrong, she confesses that. She
has paid the fines. She was given two citations and she paid both of
them to the tune of $300 apiece. She does not contest in any way her
guilt of this -- of either of these citations or of the administrative
complaint allegation.
She does, however, going back to October 10 of earlier this
rnonth, has initiated a civil lawsuit that governs -- that has jurisdiction
over who owes who money. The Orphans are claiming they're owed
rnoney back. Dave's Sprinklers is claiming it is owed additional
money. And I would ask you to defer jurisdiction to the court to
resolve that issue. The court's a perfect venue, a perfect forum to hash
this out fully and fairly for all the parties.
So I stand before you saying that there is no contest to the charge,
the fine has been paid, and would you please exercise your discretion
to allow the court to hear this matter and determine who owes whom
money as between -- in the private dispute between the Orphans and
Dave's Sprinkler Repair.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Smoot, unfortunately in a civil case
that is going to be set up or maybe is underway at the moment for
litigation as far as for dollars and cents that are owed or who owes
who really has nothing to do with this board. This board is strictly
acting on a situation of that Neida has a license and right now it is a
sprinkler license, and she was clearly doing sod work with a sprinkler
license, which she acted out of the capacity of her license, which she
admitted that count.
So whatever transfers from that point on will be strictly on the
Page 91
o~o~e! 21, ~09 A,
license issue of the case, not on mitigation of the case as far as legality
says how many dollars are owed to who party. That you can fight out
in court if you like.
MR. SMOOT: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You're welcome.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, I just want to clarify a couple of
things and rebut what Mr. Smoot has to say.
As far as my recollection is, is that landscaping license has been
required in Collier County for more than a decade. If you wish to see
to my office, I will give you a password and it says that require a
license (sic). Clearly hasn't -- the ordinance has not changed.
Landscaping's always been required for that particular activity. But
we'll set that in the record later, if you wish to come in the office.
However, pertaining to the civil suit, I mean, that is --
unfortunately (sic) Mr. Orphan is a Collier County taxpayer. They
expect the Collier County Contractor Licensing Board to protect them
against someone who has an irrigation or any license working outside
the scope of his or her license.
They have an obligation to come to my office and to protest of a
contractor licensed with our office taking them to a civil court for
something that they are not qualified to do.
Now, we can go into the case itself, and I'm prepared to do so,
but leave Mr. Smoot to recognize that basically he admits his client's
guilty of the charge here today.
But if you look at the evidence, on Page 8, clearly it says Dave's
Sprinkler Repair. And the activities should be to remove and install
50 pallets of sod.
Clearly that -- obviously that's an irrigation company, and it's
doing landscaping work. So I understand why that he's admitting that
he's in violation.
However, if Dave's Sprinkler Repair was a licensed company,
there would be additional charges because of the contract description,
Page 92
oJo~r 121, 2!09 A3
it says to remove.
And we here today will tell you that not only that the person's not
licensed to do the work, you're going to see videos and you're going to
hear testimony and you have in your packet from licensed companies
that not only that (sic) is not licensed to do so, that there was improper
installing and per the contract. It says to remove and to reinstall.
What we're here today to tell you, that that didn't happen. There
was no removing of the sod. There was a subcontractor that Dave's
Sprinkler hired that wasn't licensed in the first place that got a citation
for unlicensed activity, that went out and cut the grass and laid the sod
and now is suing a Collier County taxpayer for the remainder of the
$5,000.
And before we go ahead and reserve for restitution, I'd like you
to take a look at the video and hear Mr. Orphans (sic), what they have
to say about their ordeal about an irrigation competency person doing
and hiring an unlicensed landscaper and charging her for landscaping.
MR. NEALE: If I may--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One second, Mr. Ossorio.
Mr. Neale?
MR. NEALE: In the charge that was previously read to the
board and is the normal rules the way this board operates, it's clear the
standard in evidence to be weighed solely as to the charges set out in
the complaint. And they only had one charge to prepare a defense on,
and that charge was operating outside the scope of their license.
The simple fact that A, they've admitted to it and B, that there is
a quotation on which -- for which they were partially paid in the
document shows that they were operating outside the scope of their
license.
It would be my opinion that any other evidence as to whether
they did it incompetently or not is irrelevant and immaterial as to the
charge brought. They could have laid the sod upside down and it
would be irrelevant as to the charge brought.
Page 93
16' 1
October 21,2009 4'<3
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
The other charges you're speaking about would be the civil
matter that they're talking about as far as who owes who money -_
MR. NEALE: No, the charge I'm speaking about is the charge
that they were brought there in front of this board for.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right. I misunderstood. Yes, I know
what you mean. We're talking about just the charge that's before us
now of contracting without the proper license.
MR. NEALE: Right. I mean, if -- and Mr. White may --
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the point Mr. Neale is
making. Certainly it's one I think we started our meeting with today
about the importance of precision for.
One of the things that concerns me and what I've heard from both
sides so far is that there seems to have been prior citations issued, and
we don't have copies of those, we don't know what the scope of those
pertain to.
And what I'm concerned about here is that -- and I'm not looking
to make Mr. Smoot's case for him, believe me, I don't know whether
in fact this is a circumstance where they've effectively already elected,
if you will, the means by which the violation should be prosecuted and
the appropriate remedy found.
MR. NEALE: No, I think a point needs to be made to the board,
and Mr. Smoot can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the
action brought in civil court was an action brought by the respondent
to enforce the contract, as opposed to an action brought by the owner.
MR. WHITE: Mr. Chairman, board members, Mr. Neale, I'm not
referring to that civil matter at all.
MR. NEALE: Understood.
MR. WHITE: I'm referring to the statement that Mr. Smoot
made that there were citations issued and fines paid. That to me
sounded as if they were ones for a violation for operating outside the
scope. Which appears to be the same violation that's before us in the
Page 94
,____u.__.. ,___.~__..
161 1
October 21, 2009
A3
Administrative Complaint.
I would like to have some additional testimony from
whomsoever may know the facts about this so that we can be as well
informed as possible.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Ossorio? Is it possible that you
could tell us about the other violations that were charged?
MR. OSSORIO: This case is not unsimilar (sic) -- obviously
very similar to the Porter case we had a few minutes ago. We heard
testimony that he worked outside the scope of his license, and your
testimony that there was damage done and how to fix it. So that's the
same. And also how Porter was issued a citation before.
There were two cases against Dave's Sprinkler Service. One was
a 489 case, working -- 1.1 of the Ordinance, working without a
license, period. We wrote the case up, we issued the citation, done.
Then there brings the administrative complaint out of 4.2, which
is a whole variety of misconducts. You could have A through Z, I'm
not going to go into, issues with it but you could cite him through A
through whatever it is. And one of them is working without __
working outside of the scope of her competency. So we reopened the
case on that.
Sometimes we issue a verbal communication under 4.2 under the
code that says we can go ahead and issue a warning or we can go
ahead and do an administrative complaint.
Unfortunately in this particular case there were some factors
involved that it wasn't the second offense or third offense, it was the
first offense, but there was a consumer harm. There was a lady here
that has been financially harmed by someone working outside of her
competency.
MR. WHITE: I appreciate the clarification. I'm not 100 percent
there yet.
So maybe Mr. Smoot has the specifics of what was cited. I
understand it may be a different section of the ordinance. But--
Page 95
16 ~ 1
October 21, 2009 A3
MR. SMOOT: May I walk over and use that document
presenter?
MR. WHITE: Visualizer? Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sure.
MR. WHITE: But your testimony, Mr. Ossorio, was that they
were cited for a violation of the ordinance in Section 4.1.1.
MR. OSSORIO: I don't have it in front of me. What is 4.1.1?
MR. WHITE: That's what I thought I heard you say.
MR. OSSORIO: No, it's 4. -- maybe it is -- might be 4.1.2,
which is misconduct of a licensed company. That citation refers to
489, which is totally -- that doesn't refer to our ordinance. That's for
unlicensed activity. And that was two cases.
MR. WHITE: So on the one hand, one face of the coin is they
engaged in the business or acted in the capacity of a landscaping
contractor.
MR. OSSORIO: Yes.
MR. WHITE: Okay.
MR. OSSORIO: Yes.
MR. WHITE: I guess the inference is without being duly
registered or certified, there it is, meaning --
MR. OSSORIO: Yes.
MR. WHITE: -- the idea is that -- I don't know if you have to be
registered or certified to be a landscaper, do you?
MR. OSSORIO: Or.
MR. WHITE: Or just licensed.
MR. SMOOT: It's not one of the categories recognized under
Chapter --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Excuse me, to the microphone, please.
And just for the record, one at a time, please, okay? That way we
keep everything in line, the court reporter can dictate everything that's
gomg on.
MR. SMOOT: Mr. White, I believe if this answers your
Page 96
Oct!b~ J 1, 20!9 k
question, it's not one of the categories recognized as contracting under
Chapter 489. However, it is recognized as contracting under Collier
County's ordinances.
And to correct something I said earlier, the need for an exam
other than the business exam that Ms. White's already passed in
Collier attendant to her irrigation license in Collier, there's a tree
pruning safety examine that's required. Has nothing to do with sod
laying, it's just one of the requirements. And she's diligently pursuing
that right now.
Now, if -- to go back to what I said before, what I put on the
screen over here, and I think it's big enough to be legible, is the first of
the two citations. And I've had to blow it up so you can't see the
whole thing.
But it says -- you can see the box is checked for engage in the
business or act in the capacity of a contractor or advertise self as
business organization as available to engage in the business or act in a
capacity of a contractor without being duly registered or certified.
And that's the same charge that was then put into the
administrative complaint that has been filed that we're here on as you
can see --
MR. WHITE: We have that document.
MR. SMOOT: You have that?
Now, there is a second --
THE COURT REPORTER: Mr. Smoot, you need to be on the
microphone, please.
MR. WHITE: There's one behind you, Mr. Smoot.
MR. NEALE: Yeah, there's a hand-held.
MR. WHITE: If you look where I'm pointing, you can use that
as you move. You need to turn it on.
MR. SMOOT: Thank you.
So let me zoom in on this one.
This is willfully or deliberately disregard or violate any Collier
Page 97
oc!~r hI, 219 ~?
County ordinance regarding uncertified or unregistered contractors.
I believe that Ms. White is not admitting that she did so willfully
or deliberately, but she has paid the fine for each as an
accommodation, and is not challenging the administrative complaint.
MR. WHITE: Do you know when those were -- I'm assuming it's
on there when they were issued. But also, when were they paid?
MS. WHITE: October -- I believe it was the 6th.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What were the dates on both of the
citations?
MR. SMOOT: September 15. Let me--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: For the one?
MS. WHITE: For both of them.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Both of them were issued the same day?
MS. WHITE: Yes, sir. They issued the citations on the 15th and
they called me on the 17th telling me I had 30 days to rectify this
problem.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Lykos?
MR. L YKOS: Could we get copies of the two citations?
MS. WHITE: It should be in their packet.
MR. L YKOS: They're not in our packet. I don't remember
seeing them. Are they in our packet?
MR. NEALE: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, they 're not.
MR. WHITE: No, they're not.
MR. OSSORIO: Unfortunately that particular case has been
closed so --
MR. L YKOS: I understand.
MR. OSSORIO: -- I wouldn't have it, so --
MR. SMOOT: Here, you can have my copy. Front and back.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So what I'm seeing on the two citations
that were issued on September 15th, and I'm finding that the contract
for the sprinkler or for the -- I'm sorry, for the sod going in was dated
Page 98
OCtot~l~ 200~ h
August 10th.
MR. NEALE: If I may, just -- since those have been presented to
the board as evidence --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. NEALE: -- then we do need to have those entered into
evidence. Do you want them entered as your exhibit, Mr. Smoot?
MR. SMOOT: Sure, sure.
MR. NEALE: Okay.
MR. WHITE: So moved.
MR. NEALE: Defense exhibit.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: A, I?
MR. NEALE: Well, A for purposes of admission.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I need a motion to enter--
MR. L YKOS: Second, Lykos.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All in favor, signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. LYKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So moved.
We go back to the question of the -- citations were issued on
September 15th, so I'm gathering, and the contract for the sod work
was done on August 10th. So I'm trying to get the time line here as far
as --
MR. SMOOT: I believe Ms. White will testify the work wasn't
completed until September 3rd.
MS. WHITE: It was in the middle of rainy season and we were
Page 99
16 1 1 <<,
October 21, 2009 .
unable to cut sod. In fact, before we started the job, when Mr. Orphan
gave us the check, we waited three full days. We also brought him a
sample of the sod, because I tried to have him not take this sod
because I was concerned that zoysia is, on its best installation with
perfect care, is horrible. It's very, very difficult.
I have other customers in Fort Myers that we've done this job for,
and under perfect care with perfect pest control and a sprinkler system
working, absolutely 100 percent they still have issues.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Once again, I'm just going to prompt the
board one time. Again we're going to go back to the ruling here.
We're talking about the installation now, we're talking about some
things that really don't really apply to the charge.
The charge is contracting to do work outside the scope of the
comp -- for his licensing. This is what we're supposed to be looking at
now.
MR. NEALE: As you're all aware, there's two phases to this one.
One is of course finding whether they operated in violation, which it
appears that Mr. Smoot admitted that they did outside their scope.
The second phase is the penalty phase during which evidence as
to the extent of the violation and such can be brought in.
So, you know, I want to be clear to the board that those two
elements do exist.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Lykos?
MR. NEALE: However, what you're seeing as far as the
citations and so forth is relevant to the issue of unlicensed practice and
how you view the responsibility and guilt or innocence on this.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. L YKOS: Michael, can I ask you some questions about this?
MR. OSSORIO: Go.
MR. L YKOS: Okay, so we have two citations. The first one in
the order that I was given them is for engaging in the business or act in
the capacity of a contractor. And it's identified as a landscaping
Page 100
octi~ 211, 20~ ~
contractor.
So the first citation was for acting as a landscape contractor,
which was not what Dave's Sprinkler Repair is licensed to do.
MR. OSSORIO: That's correct.
MR. L YKOS: That's the first citation.
The second citation is willfully or deliberately disregarding or
violating any Collier County ordinance relating to uncertified or
unregistered contractors. And then it says Flores Landscaping. So
exactly what is the second citation for?
MR. OSSORIO: Typically when we conduct our investigation,
the investigator will determine did Dave's Sprinkler do the work. In
this particular case Dave's Sprinkler did not do the work. They
actually subbed it out to an unlicensed contractor.
So we charged Dave's Sprinkler for hiring unlicensed contractors.
And that's been -- we've talked about that in the past. We haven't had
one in a while in front of our licensing board. So we're not here to
determine that, because that was paid too as well.
But that was for the unlicensed contractor that Dave's Sprinkler
hired to do the work.
MR. L YKOS: Okay, so far I'm with you.
MR. OSSORIO: Good.
MR. L YKOS: Then the third question is, if the first citation was
for acting as a landscaping contractor when they were not licensed to
do that, and the second citation was for hiring an unlicensed
subcontractor, then what is Count I in this Administrative Complaint
for?
MR. OSSORIO: Count I is the homeowner made the complaint
of an irrigation company working outside of the scope of their
licensing, causing financial harm. Which obviously you will hear
testimony to the fact after you hear testimony about him being not
properly -- working outside of the scope of his or her certificate.
Every homeowner has a right to make a complaint to the
Page 10 1
16 1 1 An
October 21, 2009 ~ 2
licensing board under misconduct. We're not talking about unlicensed
activity, we're talking about misconduct of a certificate holder.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I'm beginning to understand this
now. So what -- I'm sorry, go ahead.
MR. LYKOS: I'm sorry.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, go right ahead.
MR. L YKOS: Does -- the Administrative Complaint is for
contracting to do work outside of the scope of his or her competency.
Does the complaint of the homeowner fall under that count?
MR. OSSORIO: Repeat that, because it wasn't --
MR. L YKOS: Okay, the first citation was for engaging in a
business or capacity of a contractor outside of what their license can
do.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay, first, there's no unlicensed -- when you
look on misconduct, you have to read the ordinance and it says, how
does someone make a complaint? When you deal with unlicensed
activity, that's not making a complaint, that's unlicensed activity under
489 and 1.1 of the ordinance, which is totally separate.
When somebody comes in the office and fills out a preliminary
complaint form under the ordinance, it says I will do the investigation
and I will view the (sic) pursuant to the misconduct and I will see if it
meets the administrative criteria for the board hearing.
And there's some gravity of the violation. I go through if there's
any financial harm.
You're absolutely right, we try to -- once the citation was issued
and the unlicensed activity was done, we tried to mitigate this with
Mrs. White. I believe Allen Kennette said, well, this is what you need
to do. We want you to go ahead, try to solve this problem, take the
materials out, take it back to whatever it is and go on with your
business or refund her the 5,000 to rip it out, whatever it is.
She chose not to do so.
So there is probable cause that under her certificate she caused
Page 102
16 I 1 It?;
October 21, 2009
financial harm, so we brought it in front of the licensing board.
One has nothing to do with the other. That's my interpretation of
it. You can talk to Robert Zachary or Pat Neale, but that's my
interpretation.
And granted, if this is the road we're going, Mr. Smoot's got to
realize something. We'll be back here next month with four or five
other charges. I was only trying to go ahead and be specific to the
charge of, you know, not causing damage, not going through that
whole preliminary issue. Just saying okay, you worked outside of the
scope.
I was hoping today we would have some meetings of the mind
beforehand, said ( sic) listen, let's solve this issue.
But this homeowner made an administrative complaint under 4.1
of the misconduct under a certificate holder. Not an unlicensed
contractor, a certificate holder. If it was an unlicensed contractor, the
case would be closed, which it is, because we have no jurisdiction. I
can't order an unlicensed contractor to go ahead and do restitution. It's
done.
But the certificate holder you hold, the Board of County
Commissioners gives you the authority over the certificate holder.
This is why she's here today. Other than that, I'm done.
MR. L YKOS: Okay. I understand.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. White?
MR. WHITE: Could I ask Mr. Lykos ifhe would pass that
down?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Surely.
MR. WHITE: What I'm trying to understand, Mr. Ossorio and
Mr. Smoot, if someone can help me, what provision of law is violated
in Citation 4649?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: They don't have copies.
MR. OSSORIO: Which one is that?
MR. WHITE: 4649 is the first of the two. It says, engage in the
Page 103
Oct~b~ }1, 20~9 A3
business or act in the capacity of a contractor. It's small letter f, as
was discussed earlier.
MR. SMOOT: There's no citation that I can see here to a statute
or anything else. But it's substantively the same as what is charged in
the Administrative Complaint. I mean, it's the same thing as what's in
the complaint.
MR. WHITE: Well, I don't know that for a fact. And what I'm
trying to find out is if in fact the facts are that essentially "f' translates
into what? I've heard it's 489, I've heard it's 4.1.
MR. SMOOT: 4.1.2 of -- I left the ordinance.
MR. WHITE: 2006.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: 2006-46.
MR. NEALE: The specific charges listed on the citation come
from 489.127.1 which states in relevant part that no person shall
falsely hold himself or herself or a business organization as a licensee
certificate (sic).
And "f' is -- "f' under 489.127.1 is engage in the business or act
in the capacity of a contractor, advertise himself or herself or a
business organization as available to engage in the business or act in
the capacity of a contractor without being duly registered or certified
or having a certificate of authority.
MR. WHITE: Okay. Those are the facts. And the fact is that
they essentially are two distinctly different bodies and provisions of
law, in my mind. Now, they may be two separate faces of the same
coin, but I leave to Mr. Smoot and his client to determine whether they
have a double jeopardy issue or not.
MR. SMOOT: Mr. White, I can answer that right here. And I'll
put it up.
MR. WHITE: There you go.
MR. SMOOT: At the very top of this citation form there's the
reference to what Mr. Neale just read from Chapter 489. But it's not
just Chapter 489, it's also Collier County's Contractors Licensing
Page 104
16 1 1 AJ:J
October 21,2009
Ordinance No. 97-68, which then is followed by the parenthetical
statement, as may be amended from time to time by committing the
violations stated below.
So I would submit that it has been amended and that the new
statute is 2006 -- Mr. Ossorio, you have a --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: 2006-46.
MR. SMOOT: So yeah, it is double jeopardy. They're both
referenced there. And it's essentially the same thing.
MR. WHITE: I understand your argument, Mr. Smoot. Knowing
from what Mr. Neale has told us and read essentially the verbatim of
489.127.1(f) and correlating that to "f' on the citation, I'm seeing the
law that's violated as Mr. Ossorio had indicated, the text of the statute
and not that of the ordinance per se. In that what is the subject of the
Administrative Complaint today is in fact the ordinance's provision in
Section 4.1.2.
Like I say, they may be two faces of the same coin, but they are
not identical. And to me at this point I think that there's sufficient
reason to go forward.
MR. NEALE: Well, and in may, in the Collier County
ordinance itself -- and I apologize, I'm reading from the codified
version. But under Section 22-202 of the codified verse, subsection A,
which states that there are three categories of violation, subsection one
under that says, Subsection 489.127(1) Florida Statute is incorporated
herein.
So the way the Collier County Ordinance reflects the violations
contained in 489.127 is by reference. So everything that's contained in
489.127.1 is by reference contained within Collier County ordinance.
MR. WHITE: But I'm still reading each of the two --
MR. NEALE: And they are two separate sections of the same
ordinance. You know, 22-202 is a separate section from the section in
which administrative disciplinary penalties are imposed and where
those penalties are set out and where the violations are.
Page 105
octlf?2\' 20~ A?
MR. WHITE: Stated in an analogous fashion, I think they're
separate threads of the same fabric.
MR. L YKOS: I don't like that analogy, can you give mean
another one?
MR. SMOOT: There are two ways of saying the same thing.
MR. WHITE: Two wires in the same bundle.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All right, is there any other testimony at
this moment?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any other witnesses you want to call?
MR. SMOOT: No, we confessed that it was violated.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Does the county want to call any
other witnesses?
MR. NEALE: Just to get on the record, the segment of
misconduct is by definition a separate section of the ordinance.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: The what now?
MR. NEALE: The misconduct as charged in here is a separate
section from the section wherein the citations were made.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, once you determine -- once you
deliberate or if you find in violation of 4.1.2, I will discuss to you (sic)
of the financial harm, and I would have the homeowner speak on that
behalf on that particular case, and you'll also see a video.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. SMOOT: And we would just once again ask that you skip
that and allow us to defer to the cir -- or to the county court to decide
who owes who money. That is the financial harm. If you decide it
here today, you will prejudice what happens before the county judge
who hears this case, because you'll -- the restitution is not something
that would order Dave's Sprinkler to pay to the county. Restitution
would be what you order Dave's Sprinkler to pay to the people that are
the defendants in the lawsuit they brought.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm sorry, but I believe you are wrong.
Page 106
161 1
October 21, 2009
to
Mr. Neale, correct? We have the capability to penalize and have
restitution or whatever this board decides regarding your license.
MR. SMOOT: You do, and I was just requesting that you defer
to the court to determine who owes who money.
MR. OSSORIO: Well, I consider that an issue for the --
MR. NEALE: It's for the penalty phase.
MR. OSSORIO: -- penalty phase.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yeah, we're ahead of ourselves at the
moment.
MR.OSSORIO: When you go to the penalty phase, I will
discuss with you why I believe we should not.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
So any closing statements from --
MR. SMOOT: My client would like to make a statement.
MS. WHITE: I've worked in Collier County for three years. I
worked in Lee County properly licensed for seven.
I would not have knowingly hired an unlicensed contractor. In
Lee County hindsight is 20/20. It's no excuse.
I can lay sod, I can do landscaping, I can do irrigation. I don't do
pest control, I don't do trees, I don't do electric. If I can't plug it in, I
tell the customer, you must get an electrician.
When I hired Flores Landscaping, I -- my mistake. They are
properly licensed for Lee County.
When I was written the citations on the 15th, I got a -- Mr.
Kennette said to me, you have 30 days to remedy this.
I called my attorney. I said, Tom, what do I do?
He said, Neida, what do you need?
I said, I need a tree trimmer's license.
He goes, no, seriously, Neida, what do you need?
I said Tom, I have never trimmed a tree in my life.
He said you -- he goes, you go down, you pay your fines. He
said, you go get on -- the county to give you permission to take the
Page 107
OC~b~r L, 20~9 kJ
test.
I took the test. I got the letter last night, I missed it by two
questions.
He said, then you stand in front of the board. Mr. Kennette said
that if I can get my license, this will negate everything I'm standing
here for.
I have -- it's my fault, I did not -- when I went on to the Collier
County site, I had been receiving leads for irrigation from Service
Magic.
And Mr. Lantz, you had said you've worked with Service Magic.
Service Magic will not give you a lead unless they have checked to
make sure you are properly licensed. They checked. They said,
Neida, you can take leads for sod and landscaping.
I said, are you sure?
They said, we have a department, all they do is check.
I went onto the Collier County website, which is very, very hard.
Sorry, I do irrigation, I'm not a computer person. I mean, I know I'm
40 something years old, but they're not my thing.
I did not see anything that said landscaping and sod. I saw tree
trimming. I did not see where it said in little print, look, if you want to
lay sod and do landscaping you have to take this test and then get a
modified license.
I should have gone into the county. I should have asked them.
But when I went on the website for Lee County, Lee County says
under my irrigation contractor's license, because I've taken business
law, I can lay sod, do landscaping. I cannot install trees, I can't trim
them. It doesn't change anything.
When I sat down with Mr. and Mrs. Orphan, I had received their
lead from Service Magic. The job was done during the height of the
rainy season. It's had many, many issues.
The video you're going to watch condemns me. The yard looks
terrible. I had Perfection Lawn and Pest go out there yesterday and
Page 108
OC~b~r ! 1, 2~9 A3
tell Mr. Orphan what needs to be done. In 90 days it will look better.
Anyone who knows anything about zoysia grass, which is in the
golf course greens area, knows that zoysia is very, very finicky. And
if it's not cared for properly, it makes it look really bad.
I took some of it home and laid it under an orange tree. It's been
getting proper fertilization and water. I'll bring it to you, it looks
gorgeous. You know, so --
Hindsight's 20/20. If I had the money to undo this and give them
back what I've already paid for, I would have. But I really and truly
believe with proper care in one season -- in the landscape book that
you required me to read to take the test on it says that zoysia takes an
entire season of growth to look good. An entire season. Not five
weeks, not six weeks.
This grass hasn't been down for two months. They've already -- it
was three-and-a-half, almost four weeks old, they had already started
cutting it. They had not done the proper pest control.
I'm not allowed back on the yard. I don't know if they're
watering it. I don't know if they're doing their due diligence.
And this all started when I went to collect my final payment and
they said we're not happy. They had four days they could have
stopped me and they didn't.
Then they said, well, what are you going to do? Their answer
was take 50 pallets of zoysia, throw it away because they weren't
happy.
This is premium Empire zoysia from Duda Farms. Duda Farms
supplies 90 percent of the sod that comes into Lee and Collier County.
They don't sell junk. You have a packet from your people with two
estimates.
Right now the economy sucks. And I can tell you this, for any
one of you who are contractors, you can have five people stand right
behind you and undercut your job, tell you how bad it is and how they
will do it better and cheaper.
Page 109
OC~~}21, 219 M
On a golf course when they lay zoysia, did you know that they
lay it in like a puzzle piece? It comes in, it's numbered, it's in a
72-degree truck. It's staked. When you lay zoysia, it came in with a
lot of dirt on it because the fields were so wet. And then it rained.
And then it rained. And then it rained some more.
The zoysia moves. It doesn't stay staked. Any sod that is laid
during the rainy season will move.
So in the yard when you look at the video, there's gaps. And they
have taken off the market 80 percent of the weed control products. I
don't spray them. That's why I sent Perfection Lawn and Pest.
Perfection Lawn and Pest went to the Orphans and said, look, if
you know somebody who works at a golf course and can get you the
products to get rid of your weeds, that's exactly what you need to do.
Otherwise they need to be picked.
If they wanted, I would turn around and send somebody out there
to pick weeds. If that would make the difference on this yard coming
in or not, I would do it. But there was nothing I was going to say to
the Orphans before the complaint was filed to make them happy. The
only thing they wanted was all their money back, plus.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, I appreciate your comments.
MS. WHITE: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: County, do you have any closing
statements?
MR. OSSORIO: Actually, Mrs. White said it all. I have nothing
more to say until we get to the penalty phase.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: In that case, then I'll make a motion to
close the public hearing.
MR. WHITE: Second, White.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second. All in favor,
signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
Page 110
octo~e~ 2 ~, 200~ k;
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. LYKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries unanimous.
All right. Now, at this moment we're going to go into
deliberation just to discuss this just a moment, so if you want to have a
seat for a second and relax a second.
Gentlemen, again, going back to the count that we're dealing with
here, I know we're talking about installation, how it's done. The video
we haven't seen yet. They've admitted the guilt.
MR. WHITE: I've seen the video.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I've seen the video, yes, in the packet. I
don't need to see it again.
MR. WHITE: I'd make a motion for a finding of a violation. I
think it's clearcut that the work that was performed is outside the
scope of the sprinkler license. And everything else is part of the
penalty phase.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is that a motion?
MR. WHITE: So moved.
MR. JERULLE: Second, Jerulle.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Second, Jerulle.
Motion and a second that Neida L. White is found guilty of
Count I -- I'm sorry, 4.1.2 --
MR. NEALE: You need to take a vote.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'm sorry? We're going to.
Motion and a second on the floor.
Signify by saying aye.
MR. BOYD: Aye.
Page III
octo!e92l. 200\ k?
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Aye.
MR. WHITE: Aye.
MR. L YKOS: Aye.
MR. HORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion carries.
I was just reading the count. Sorry.
Mr. Neale?
MR. NEALE: We'd already gone through the penalty. If you'd
like me to review it again, I can do that.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just a quick oversight. I mean, 1--
MR. NEALE: Okay. Again, any damages that are found must
be directly related to the charge as set out in the complaint, owing to
the fact that the respondent could only prepare a defense to that
particular charge.
Since the board has found a violation, there are a list of 10
different sanctions which the board can impose in a situation such as
this:
Number one is revocation of the Certificate of Competency; two,
suspension of that certificate; three, denial of issuance or renewal of a
Certificate of Competency; four, probation of a reasonable length, not
to exceed two years, during which the contractor's contracting
activities shall be under the supervision of the Contractor Licensing
Board and/or participation in a duly accredited program of continuing
education, and probation may be revoked for cause by the board at a
hearing noticed to considered that purpose; number five, restitution;
six, a fine not to exceed $10,000 per incident; seven, a public
reprimand; eight, re-examination requirement; nine, denial of the
issuance of permits or requiring issuance of permits with conditions;
Page 112
16 Ilk?
October 21, 2009
10, reasonable legal and investigative costs.
In determining the sanctions to be imposed, the board shall
consider five different elements: One, the gravity of the violation;
two, the impact of the violation; three, any actions taken to correct the
violation; four, any previous violations; five, any other evidence
presented at the hearing by the parties relevant as to the sanction that
is appropriate for the case, given the nature of the charge.
Can also issue a recommended penalty to the state board. Three
different recommendations there: No further action; recommendation
of suspension, revocation or restriction; or a fine to be levied by the
state.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Pleasure of the board? Any
recommendations?
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, before you start deliberating
about recommendation, before I give you my recommendation, I
would like to go ahead and do two things at one time. I want you to
look at the video as contractors and consumers, and then as the video
is going, I want to have the Orphans come up, Mr. Orphan or Mrs., tell
you their side of the story from the beginning to the end referencing of
how it was laid, what was said, and I'll let them deal with that in the
penalty phase.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Then we'll have to open the
public hearing again?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, it's--
MR. NEALE: No, this is just part of deliberation.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. NEALE: Part of the consideration of the --
MR. SMOOT: Is there any appropriateness for an objection to
relevancy? If you recall, the charge is contracting outside the scope of
competency.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That is true, you are correct. But in part
of the penalty phase we have to determine the guilt of whether the job
Page 113
octlff 2~, 201 M
was correct or not, of whether there was harm or damages done to the
contractor -- or to the homeowner by the contracting that you
performed or the work that you did perform.
Mr. Lykos?
MR. L YKOS: Mr. Chairman, I respectfully request a break, five
minutes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. All right, then we'll sit on the
deliberations for just a moment.
It's 12:35. 12:45, 10 minutes.
(Recess. )
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I'll call the meeting of the Collier County
Contractor Licensing Board meeting back to order again and we'll
leave off where we started -- where we ended, I'm sorry -- on
deliberations.
Weare -- and Mr. Kennette, you've got some information for us.
Or Mr. Ossorio?
MR. OSSORIO: Yes, I'm going to defer -- you asked for my
recommendation. I'm not going to give you my recommendation until
you hear testimony from the homeowner. And as it was the
homeowner's communicating with the board, I'm going to show the
video, so you'll see it up here. The video has already been into
evidence already, so it's just a reviewing it, which I think probably's
everyone's seen it, but I want to see it again. And for the public.
MR. SMOOT: Can you establish when it was the video was
taken?
MR. OSSORIO: Sure. You'll see it.
MR. SMOOT: Oh, it will say on it?
MR. OSSORIO: Yep.
Did you watch the video?
MR. SMOOT: Yes.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay, it says it right on there.
MR. KENNETTE: September 23rd is when it was.
Page 114
16' 1
A 1-;
October 21,2009
MR. SMOOT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did you mention also that you wanted
the respondents to --
MR. OSSORIO: Yes, if the respondent will come up when Allen
Kennette finishes what he needs to do.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
(Video was played.)
(Mr. and Mrs. Orphan were duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I assume this is a video of the property
that we're talking about here?
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes, we signed the contract on August 25th.
Work actually started -- that was on a Tuesday. Work actually started
Friday when Dave's Sprinkler came and adjusted all our sprinkler
heads.
They showed up on Monday, I guess it was Flores Landscaping
-- she represented him as her supervisor -- with a back hoe. And when
we were home we noticed that the Mexican or Hispanic man was kind
of shaking his head and walking around the yard.
And when N eida showed up later that night we expressed our
concerns, and she said he couldn't get the back hoe through our
sprinkler heads to try to get proper removal. So we expressed our
concerns about that and she said not to worry, we'll take care of it.
The next day workers showed up. We just happened to go by on
our lunch hour. Workers had replaced the front end loader, or
whatever it was called, with a mower. And at that time sod started
showing up with the pallets being distributed all over the yard. And
now we're really concerned because nothing's been removed.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: None of the sod was removed?
MRS. ORPHAN: Pardon me?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: None of the old sod was removed?
MRS. ORPHAN: None of the old sod. They replaced the back
hoe with a mower. And I think they tried to mow around where all the
Page 115
16 j 1
k3
October 21, 2009
pallets were. There was no chemical removal, no nothing.
This was on Tuesday. On Wednesday, after N eida said the
problem would be taken care of, we waited to leave for work. And
about 11 :00 a.m. we went by and the workers were -- already had the
one whole side section sodded.
At that point we tried to call N eida to stop the work. No phone
calls, the answering machine.
We finally got ahold of her the next day only because we used a
different number. We went and used a different phone. I believe she
probably had caller J.D. And as you can see, the work proceeded.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Was there -- quick second. Was there a
supervisor or anybody on the job that you could have spoke to to stop
the work?
MRS. ORPHAN: Well, he didn't speak English. She warned us
about keeping our house locked and that the workers did not speak
English. We tried to communicate with Manny who was, she said, her
supervisor. But he's very hard to communicate with.
What else can I say? She came to collect -- now the work started
on a Monday and it ended on Thursday, that's how fast they put up 50
pallets.
When she came to collect her additional $5,000, we showed her
all the gaps in the sod, that we were concerned because at that point
you could already see the weeds coming through.
So we discussed back and forth and she agreed to take $500 off
the price, and we said that wasn't proper. We would be agreeable to
waiting a month and if we weren't overwhelmed with weeds then we
would paid for the balance.
We never heard from her since then. This is the first I've seen or
heard from her.
Her yard man did come, like she said, yesterday, last night, and
informed us that some of the weeds we would not be able to get rid of
because the chemicals allowed to get rid of them are not allowed in
Page 116
-'-'-'~----'-~-'--""""''''''-""_.
OctoteP21, 200! ~
the county anymore.
We have -- I have paperwork showing we've had constant bug
control. He told us that the sod is filled with fungus and it was not
properly cut.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Who told you that?
MR. ORTEGA: Bug Stop, and two other people that we got
estimates to try to get it removed. We want to get it removed. One
man said it might be up to a year that we can get control of it again.
We have our water bills to prove. We have city water, which you
can im -- $300 bills.
We fertilized once, but the weeds grew so fast.
This is a professional job along our hedge. We had to clean out
the hedge because all the pieces they tried to stick in the gaps they
threw in the hedge.
This is -- I mean, I just -- I can't explain.
MR. OSSORIO: Mrs. Orphan, can you explain to when it was
laid, you could see gaps.
MRS. ORPHAN: Oh, yeah.
MR. OSSORIO: It was -- and they didn't use a roller --
MRS. ORPHAN: They didn't use a --
MR. OSSORIO: -- and they didn't remove --
MRS. ORPHAN: Well, they had a roller there but--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One at a time. One at a time, please.
Can you turn the volume down?
MRS. ORPHAN: This is the entire yard. I mean, this isn't just
sections, this is --
THE COURT REPORTER: Please speak into the mic.
MRS. ORPHAN: Okay. There was a roller there when we came
home, but if they used it or not, I don't know. My neighbors have told
me that they didn't. I don't know if they did or not.
We have a -- we have a real lawnmower that we can't even use
because it won't cut the weeds, and it's so uneven that it scalps it.
Page 117
OCtoJl~l~ 200J A'7
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Just another question. The video that
we're watching here now, how long has it been since the sod was
installed to compare to today?
MRS. ORPHAN: Twenty days.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: It's been 20 days since the sod was laid.
And then since this video taken, in the same interim?
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes, that was taken about two weeks after it
was laid.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. One last question for you, Mrs.
Orphan. In the contract it was -- that's before us in No. E-8, I just
have a question. What -- had you done work with Dave's Sprinklers
Repair before?
MRS. ORPHAN: No. We were referred by Service Magic.
They referred us to her.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Did you at all question the fact of a
sprinkler company doing sod work?
MRS. ORPHAN: We did check to see if she was licensed, and
they said she was licensed. As -- like her, we didn't realize you had to
have a separate -- from irrigation we didn't realize you had to have a
separate landscape license.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So then the company that you got your
referral from kind of led you astray and --
MRS. ORPHAN: Exactly.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- gave you someone that was licensed
but not properly licensed to do sod.
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes. I don't know if they didn't realize it
wasn't being done in Lee County, but--
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman, we've talked to -- I've talked to
Service Magic many times. They know our philosophy. I've talked to
them. I've talked to Charlene from the state. And we're going to be
communicating with them about how -- their license requirements.
And I believe I also faxed them, going back years, nothing
Page 118
16, 1 4\1;;
October 21, 2009
recent, but I've also faxed them a copy of the ordinance what's require
(sic) a license and what not requires a license in Collier County, and
so they've been notified before.
MRS. ORPHAN: And we did also have three estimates. She
was not the cheapest. She was in the middle. We hired her because
she is a family run company and the economy was bad.
And I clean houses for a living. Took me a lot of money to save
up to have it done. And we felt we checked thoroughly, when we
checked, to make sure she was licensed.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: At what status is the lawn in right now?
MRS. ORPHAN: Right now we're having -- the weeds are just
overwhelming.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: But the same material that they put down
is still there?
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes. We did -- I did call Neida before I signed
the affidavit as a complaint, giving her an option of either giving us or
money back or removing it, one of the two options. And I told her if it
wasn't done then we were going to pursue it. And like I said, I never
heard from her.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is this true, Ms. White?
MS. WHITE: The option that was left on my phone, on my
office phone, I kept the message, was I could pay the $2,500 to
remove it and return their entire deposit. That was the message that
was left on my machine. $5,000.
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes, is that correct. I forgot about the money
back.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: How did the--
MRS. ORPHAN: But we wouldn't have had any sod.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- $2,500 come into it?
MS. WHITE: Because they wanted us to remove the sod that --
the premium zoysia that was put down. Even though it had not been
given a chance to root, they wanted the grass -- the sod removed and
Page 119
_._._'''-'''''-'''--'-'''---~'---'''"''"-''''''-'''----'''''''~'-'-'---'.+
16 1 1 A??
October 21, 2009
all of their money back. And that was the only way that they were
going to not do anything more.
And that wasn't till after we filed the lawsuit requesting payment.
Because when I stood there to collect my final check -- I don't do
confrontation well. It's not one of my things. Everybody in my life
knows it. And I stood there with my 21-year-old son to go collect the
check. And I couldn't -- nothing I said was going to change their
Opl11l0n.
MRS. ORPHAN: Nothing, absolutely.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. So just to clarify then, you are
right at this moment going to have the sod removed?
MRS. ORPHAN: I would like -- I have to. Unless I --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Like to and have to doesn't say you will
or won't. I'm asking --
MRS. ORPHAN: I want to have it removed.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- you a direct question, are you going to
have it removed --
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- yes or no.
MRS. ORPHAN: Yes.
MR. OSSORIO: That's under the recommendation of licensed
landscaping companies who you sought bids after.
MRS. ORPHAN: And, you know, she keeps saying about
discouraging me from zoysia. We know about zoysia. But I also
checked, after she told me that she had referred to experts that it's
okay to sod over existing lawn, because she checked with her expert.
So on that day that she told me that, I checked with the
University of Florida extension, I checked with Battista, I checked
with anybody I could call, and not one person said they ever would
recommend laying any kind of sod over existing grass. They
recommend first of all a chemical remover and then whatever.
And the contract did say removal. And I was worried when the
Page 120
oct!~ 211, 20~ A?
back hoe took off.
MR. SMOOT: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Board have -- yes, sir?
MR. SMOOT: Usually I get a chance to cross-examine at the
close of their presentation.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You will.
MR. SMOOT: Okay, thanks.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Neale, this public hearing's closed. I don't
think they have a question to rebut, do they; am I correct?
MR. NEALE: He still has the opportunity to cross-examine.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yeah, one more time.
Okay, is that all, Mr. Ossorio, that you want to present
witness-wise?
MR. OSSORIO: Yeah, that's it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All right, you can have a seat -- maybe
not yet. Hang on one second, I'm sorry.
If you'd like to cross-examine at this moment, you may.
MR. SMOOT: Ms. Orphan, you didn't have a lawn at the time
that this sod was put down, did you?
MRS. ORPHAN: I had weeds.
MR. SMOOT: And you had also some zoysia grass.
MRS. ORPHAN: No, I did not have any zoysia.
MR. SMOOT: Did you not hydro-seed?
MS. ORPHAN: We tried and it didn't work.
MR. SMOOT: Okay. And before you hydro-seeded, what did
you do to prepare the lawn?
MS. ORPHAN: Chemically back in November oflast year,
chemically he sprayed the whatever, Real Kill. After that we raked it.
After that we -- what do you call that machine, that --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Ifwe're going--
MRS. ORPHAN: Tilled it.

October 21, 2009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- to have testimony here, then I need to
have you come to the podium, be sworn in, please.
MRS. ORPHAN: I don't understand the tech -- but we tilled it,
did everything possible. And the zoysia that we hydro-seeded didn't
work.
(Mr. Orphan was duly sworn.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay, now you can proceed.
MR. ORPHAN: In October, Real Killed the entire yard, half an
acre. Then I tilled the soil. Then I hired a company to hydro-seed.
The hydro-seed did not take, the zoysia hydro-seed. And then we just
became overwhelmed with weeds. That's when I contacted Neida
through Service Magic. And she said yeah, no problem, we're going
to come in and remove the weeds, remove the soil on top, put zoysia
down. Read the contract.
MR. SMOOT: Now, your contract, isn't it true, did not contain a
provision whereby Dave's Sprinkler agreed to do a chemical kill on
that yard, did it?
MR. ORPHAN: No, it did not.
MR. SMOOT: It just said removed?
MR. ORPHAN: But all I said, remove. Fine.
MR. SMOOT: And they did come in and scalp the yard, rake it
up and remove it, didn't they?
MR. ORPHAN: Well, they raked all the grass mowings
underneath my ficus hedge, if that's what you call removal. Removal
is not mowing a lawn.
MR. SMOOT: There was no lawn.
MR. ORPHAN: Well, it was not mowing weeds.
MRS. ORPHAN: The video shows--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One at a time, please.
MR. SMOOT: Let's -- maybe if we could roll back the first -- I
want to go about 40 seconds into the video.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.r

MR. ORPHAN: Do you recall a portion where the sod was lifted
up --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. ORPHAN: -- and all you saw underneath it was black,
sand. No weeds, no yard, no nothing. That was a stripped yard,
removed yard. If you recall that, we don't need to run it back by.
MRS. ORPHAN: I picked that up to show you the weed
underneath.
MR. SMOOT: There was none evident.
MRS. ORPHAN: Okay. I thought you meant -- while you were
doing the yard just to protect ourselves we took video. Those are not
videos -- well, pictures that were included in our exhibit.
MR. SMOOT: Now, the zoysia grass did not look the way you
thought it would look, did it?
MRS. ORPHAN: Well, it was longer.
MR. ORPHAN: Yeah, it's longer. Most people that I've talked
to said zoysia, when it's usually installed, is about three-quarters to
one inch long.
This -- when Neida brought the sample piece, it was a little long,
but I said fine, because at that point she was going to remove what
was on top and then install the zoysia, not thrown with one or
two-inch gaps, but thrown like sod should be, butt to butt. That's what
-- I've got the problem now with the weeds poking up everywhere.
MR. SMOOT: Now, in the past you have had sodded yards,
haven't you?
MR. ORPHAN: My wife and I installed 50 pallets offloratam in
1978. We're at the age now we can't do it anymore.
MR. SMOOT: Okay.
MR. ORPHAN: I know how --
MR. SMOOT: So your familiarity is with floratam, right?
MR. ORPHAN: Yeah.
MR. SMOOT: And you've never planted zoysia before, have
Page 123
16 i 1 A
October 21, 2009 ?
you?
MRS. ORPHAN: No, sir.
MR. SMOOT: You don't know what to expect about how long it
takes zoysia to establish and to flourish, do you?
MRS. ORPHAN: We're not contesting how long it's going to
flourish. We're contesting that the weeds are overwhelming.
MR. ORPHAN: And the way it was thrown is not proper.
MRS. ORPHAN: And the way that it was installed. And the
contract stated removal.
MR. SMOOT: Are you contending that you can control weeds
by the way you place sod, is that --
MRS. ORPHAN: If it was chemically done, or however they do
it --
MR. SMOOT: And you had an --
MRS. ORPHAN: -- there shouldn't be any--
MR. SMOOT: -- opportunity to put that in that contract, didn't
you?
MRS. ORPHAN: I signed the contract for removal. Whatever
they consider removal.
MR. SMOOT: But not for chemical--
MRS. ORPHAN: But not mowing.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I just have another question real quick, I
suppose.
You mentioned earlier in testimony that you had the lawn treated
for weeds, you sprayed it yourself, right, and then you had hydro-seed
come in and spray it. And it was of zoysia, right?
MRS. ORPHAN: Right.
MR. ORPHAN: Right.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: But it didn't take.
MR. ORPHAN: No.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Why?
MR. ORPHAN: I don't know.
Page 124
16 J l' ~?
October 21,",009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You don't suppose the weedkiller could
have been killed the zoysia, do you?
MR. ORPHAN: No, because we waited --
MRS. ORPHAN: No. This was back in November of last year.
MR. ORPHAN: We waited three months after the weedkiller,
the hydro-seed.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MRS. ORPHAN: We're talking about December oflast year and
this was August this year.
MR. JERULLE: Ms. White, do you offer a -- excuse me.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Go ahead, Mr. --
MR. JERULLE: Do you offer a warranty for your work?
MS. WHITE: Yes, sir, one year.
MR. JERULLE: I didn't see that on the proposal.
MS. WHITE: No, I -- when I typed it in, I apologize, it didn't.
But I did send them a letter stating that if it wasn't watered, pest
controlled and cared for properly, they would void their warranty.
And I believe when I brought their final bill that it was on there,
the warranty information.
MR. JERULLE: So why aren't we covering their concerns with a
warranty?
MS. WHITE: When I went there the last time to see them, I
couldn't get a word in edgewise. They told me the garbage man told
them that I had installed it wrong. Their neighbors all came over,
everybody but the plumber down the street had told them that it was
done incorrectly. And I wasn't going to get a word in edgewise.
The website that they went to, my son stood there with his
Iphone. And it says right on the disclaimer when you go there, this
information cannot be used in any legal proceedings, it is strictly the
university's opinion of how things can be done.
We did a standard overlay on this yard because there was no --
MR. JERULLE: Then let me ask you another question: You
Page 125
~. '.~~._""~"__"_.___'_'_"_"__>"_"'" ...'m____,.'.________"~~.",._".__.__,~,,_.,,.."..
oc~~r ~ 1, 2~9 ^1;
will still honor your warranty?
MS. WHITE: Yes, sir, I will.
MR. JERULLE: Would you go back and try to rectify the lawn
today?
MS. WHITE: Absolutely. But they waited 21 days before they
put down their first fungicide or pest control. And they were told -- I
sent them a certified letter because I didn't want any
misunderstandings. It needed -- as soon as that sod was put down, it
needed to be treated. It was at the height of rainy season --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Do you have a copy of that letter?
MS. WHITE: Yes, sir, I do.
Do you have a packet that was dropped off?
MR. BOYD: It's in the packet.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes. It is?
MR. NEALE: Yeah, it's in this--
MS. WHITE: It's in the packet, sir.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What page is it on, gentlemen?
MR. WHITE: About -- at the very back. It's the last page of the
text.
MR. NEALE: It's over here.
MR. BOYD: It's the third page.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I've got Bug Stop on the last page.
MR. BOYD: It's in the extra packet we got.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: One other question.
Zoysia grass, I'm not familiar with that type of grass, but does
zoysia grass travel or spread similar to floratam?
MS. WHITE: It spreads, but it's a very tightknit weaved grass.
So when we shaved it, we raked everything out, took all the debris off.
On the right-hand side of their yard when we were dragging the pallets
off, they were so heavy that we wound up -- there was nothing left on
the right-hand side of the yard. We had to re-Ievel the entire yard.
It comes up, it's tight and it spreads. It just takes a long time to
Page 126
oc!~r ~ 1, 219 A3
do it.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Terry?
MR. JERULLE: Do you have some sort of quality control in
your company?
MS. WHITE: With the product we purchased?
MR. JERULLE: Yeah. If you're laying sod, is there someone
that oversees the quality control of the work that you're performing?
MS. WHITE: I'm usually on the job. I had one of my employees
out there two days in a row, Bibben Edwards, and he was out there. In
fact, he helped lay some of the sod. And he's White and speaks
English. He's not Hispanic.
MR. JERULLE: So this person was on -- your quality control
person --
MS. WHITE: I had one --
MR. JERULLE: Excuse me, excuse me.
Your quality control person was on the job during the process of
the --
MS. WHITE: Two of the -- yes, sir, two of the days.
MR. JERULLE: And looking at the video, he was okay with the
qualify of the work?
MS. WHITE: When the sod was put in, it was -- it came in, it
was really, really muddy. In fact, if you look at the pictures --
MR. JERULLE: I don't care about how it was then, I'm looking
at how it is now. And the quality control of that day, the next day or
the next week --
MS. WHITE: Right, when --
MR. JERULLE: -- having somebody go back and taking care
and doing quality control of --
MS. WHITE: I couldn't go back--
MR. JERULLE: -- the product.
MS. WHITE: I couldn't go back on the property after that
Friday. I was not invited on to do anything more. I was told remove
Page 127
16 I 1 it3
October 21, 2009
it or -- remove it and I want all my money back. I was --
MR. JERULLE: As of what Friday?
MS. WHITE: -- not allowed to do anymore work after that
Friday.
MR. JERULLE: What Friday?
MS. WHITE: September 5th. September 3rd I --
MRS. ORPHAN: It was on a Thursday.
MS. WHITE: September 3rd we finished the job. That Friday I
went to pick up the check, they said no, we --
MR. JERULLE: When you went there to pick up the check, did
you see the quality of work?
MS. WHITE: The sod looked really good when it started. It had
not rained at that point. When it rained, some of the sod moved. I
would have tightened it up, but I was not allowed back on the yard. It
will fill back in.
MR. SMOOT: This is a different kind of grass.
MR. JERULLE: I'm a little confused.
MS. WHITE: In the video, if you look at the palm tree right
here, this is on September 18th. The grass is coming in, it's starting to
fill in. Yes, there are weeds in it, but at this point they still had not
pest controlled. When these pictures were taken, they had not cut it or
pest controlled it.
MR. JERULLE: Ms. White, laying sod -- how thick is the sod,
two and a half inches thick?
MS. WHITE: Well, the problem was it came in with a good inch
and a half of mud on the back of it. Because it was so --
MR. JERULLE: How thick is it?
MS. WHITE: About three inches thick.
MR. JERULLE: And if you don't lay it butt to butt, you're
saying that's going to grow in?
MR. WHITE: It was butt to butt when --
MR. JERULLE: Where does the dirt come from for the grass to
Page 128
16 l 1 1t3
October 21, 2009
grow in?
MS. WHITE: It was butt to butt when it was laid, but it was
muddy on the edges.
MR. JERULLE: Okay. So when they brought up the complaint,
why didn't you have your service guy go -- call the service guy, go
there and try to fix it?
MS. WHITE: Because there was no talking to them at that point.
MR. JERULLE: You shouldn't have to talk, you should be fixing
the work so that they're satisfied.
MS. WHITE: I wasn't allowed back on the property to do
anything. I was told --
MR. ORPHAN: That's not true.
MS. WHITE: -- return the money and pay $2,500 to have it -- or
2,750 to have it removed. That was the options I was given. I wasn't
told -- they didn't say Neida, can you come in, tighten it up, you know,
it's moved some. I had 20 pallets --
MR. JERULLE: You're saying that was the option left on your
answering machine.
MS. WHITE: That was the option I was given.
MR. JERULLE: If somebody leaves that on my answering
machine, I'm knocking on their door, all right, and with all my people
behind me going to fix whatever needs to be fixed so they don't have
to leave a second message like that.
MS. WHITE: I couldn't get a word in edgewise. The day -- I
didn't know what to do with them. Because I didn't -- seriously, I
didn't know what to do. They turned around and they said, these are
your options.
MR. JERULLE: Try to address the concerns. Document it and
try to address the concerns. I know there's some people out there that
you can never satisfy, but you're not going to satisfy somebody unless
you try.
MS. WHITE: I told them I'd send my pest control out on Friday,
Page 129
o~o~eJ 21, 2~09 /{?;
the day we were standing there. I said I will have it treated the first
time to make sure it's treated properly.
No, we have a guy and I'm going to fertilize it.
MRS. ORPHAN: We weren't concerned about pest control, we
were concerned about weeds. And I did have my first pest control two
days after, on the 21st. We did have Truly Nolan, but she told us that
they weren't any good so we fired them and hired another company,
Bug Stop.
MS. WHITE: But we finished on September 3rd and they had it
done on the 21 st. So they waited almost three weeks to do their first
pest control.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Is that true?
MR. JERULLE: I'm still worried about the gaps in the sod.
MRS. ORPHAN: That's what you recommended when it was
laid, within a month.
MR. JERULLE: Excuse me, I'm still concerned about the gaps
in the sod.
MS. WHITE: When the sod was laid, it was laid tight. It was
laid as tight as it could be with the mud that was on the sod.
MR. JERULLE: But I don't see any --
MR. WHITE: I'm looking at the photos that they provided dated
September 2, and it certainly appears that it is as physically proximate
as you could place it. I mean, you're seeing the photo from September
2?
MR. SMOOT: Put these on the -- maybe we could put these on
the overhead?
MS. WHITE: These are from September 18th. These are in your
packet. This is after two and a half weeks.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We have that, yes.
MS. WHITE: The sod is coming in, the gaps are filling in.
MR. WHITE: If I understand Mr. Jerulle's point is that there's
gaps, meaning soil or something needs to replace the mud that was
Page 130
161 1
October 21, 2009
A?
washed away.
What is the proper method for doing that that you, if you were
allowed on the property, would implement?
MS. WHITE: What would I have done if we -- from the
torrential rains if we had to have? We would have tightened up and
added some more smaller pieces of sod. Because zoysia would -- you
can cut zoysia in small strips and place them in there to fill it in, but I
wasn't allowed on so I couldn't -- I haven't been able to do anything to
correct this problem, whatsoever.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I've heard that statement three or four
times now, she wasn't allowed on your property. Is this something that
was not -- was set up by you, Mr. and Mrs. Orphan?
MRS. ORPHAN: We never heard from her, so --
MR. ORPHAN: No, other than when she sued us.
MRS. ORPHAN: She was supposed to come back Friday. She
collected the money on Thursday.
MR. ORPHAN: Tried to.
MRS. ORPHAN: Or tried to.
And because we weren't agreeable, she said she would come
back Friday with a -- she wanted us to recommend her to other people
and she would work out something that would be agreeable to both of
us.
I gave her until Monday to get back to me and she never did, and
I had to leave a message on her answering machine. I have not seen
her or heard anything.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So Ms. White, what gave you the
opinion then that the Orphans wouldn't let you back on the property
again?
MS. WHITE: When I was there that last Thursday, I didn't -- the
impression they gave me was unless I gave them all the money back
and removed it, that was the only thing that was going to make them
happy. That was the message they left that following Monday.
Page 131
16 I 1 r3
October 21,2009
I did not go on Friday, because every single sod person I know,
from King Sod in Cape Coral to Battista and everyone else, said once
it's down an overlay is perfectly normal, it just takes some time. And
it's at the height of rainy season and it will fill in, it will be beautiful,
but it's going to take a season.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Any other questions from the
board members?
MR. L YKOS: I just want to see if I can get my hands around
where we are, what we're trying to do here.
I mean, our job is not to mediate this case, correct?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, we're just looking for if there's
restitution here.
MR. L YKOS: I don't even know that that's what we're
responsible for. Weare to determine whether or not the contract was
fulfilled or completed to a standard that is what, average? You know,
is this the best sod job that's ever been done? Doesn't look like it.
Does it mean that the contract wasn't fulfilled? I don't know.
Our job is not to mediate this case. Our job isn't necessarily to
decide if this was the best sod job that's ever been done or the worst
sod job that's ever been done. Is the worst job acceptable according to
the contract? I don't know that either.
MR. NEALE: Well, and in may, Mr. Lykos, just make a couple
of points. I understand where you're going, but just as you're getting
into this discussion I'd like to make a couple of points.
First is that the charge -- there were available charges that go to
the issue of workmanship. That is not the charge that is in front of you
today. The charges in front of you today is contracting to do work
outside the scope of the competency.
What you've been hearing is based on that charge, just that
charge, what are appropriate sanctions under that charge.
Now, if -- I would say that if a case was to be put on, there would
be experts testifying on both sides as to this. At this point you have
Page 132
16 j 1 A'3
October 21, 2009
one person who might be qualified as an expert and you have
disgruntled homeowners.
I would say that further this matter is in front of a civil court
which, as Mr. Lykos suggests, is a venue where that type of case can
be brought. I'm not stating -- you know, I'm certainly not imposing
anything on the board or trying to do so, but I believe that you need to
look within the charge itself, you need to look at the damages caused
because of that charge. And the board has in many cases seen fit not
to award restitution, the board has also seen fit in past cases to give
deference to the civil court system when appropriate.
Mr. Joslin's been on this board for a long time --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Right.
MR. NEALE: -- and he knows many occasions in the past where
this board has deferred to civil matters, particularly in the terms of
damages caused.
You know, this board is a licensure board, as Mr. Lykos correctly
was suggesting. This board is not a mediation board. It's not here to
settle disputes.
MRS. ORPHAN: May I add one thing? When we questioned
Mrs. White about laying sod over existing weeds and grass, she said
she does it all the time. This was when we were discussing the
options.
And I wanted her to give me the telephone number of people,
other homes that this has been done to. And she informed me she
couldn't do that, she would give me pictures. And I insisted that I
wanted to talk to the homeowner, because I was totally agreeable to
paying her if it wasn't going to be a potential problem.
When I asked her if I questioned the workers that threw the sod if
they normally throw it over existing sod, she hesitated and she said
well, they don't normally throw sod.
Now, she hired a subcontractor that the people don't throw sod?
That concerned me more than anything.
Page 133
16 I 1 A?J
October 21, 2009
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay.
MR. NEALE: Mr. Lykos has a --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Mr. Lykos?
MR. L YKOS: Michael, I think I understand what we're trying to
accomp -- what you would like us to accomplish here. To continue on
with the problems I have with where we are, I don't know the value of
the work that's in place, I don't know if it has to be ripped out or if it
can be reworked and if there's some truth to the fact it takes time to
grow in and with some repatching and some repairing that the sod
installation can be saved. We don't know that.
How can we possibly determine any kind of restitution, not
knowing what the current value of the job in place has?
MRS. ORPHAN: It has been patched. They did that along the
way between the gaps.
MR. L YKOS: I understand. But at this point we don't have an
expert in front of us saying how long it will take for this to grow in.
We don't have an expert to tell us if this installation is acceptable. We
don't have an expert telling us what it would take to repair this to get it
to some acceptable level if this isn't acceptable. We don't have any of
that information. We have your testimony that you're not happy, I
understand.
We have your testimony that what you think you've gone done is
acceptable. It might not be the highest quality, but you haven't had the
ability to go on-site and make it any better, if that's a reasonable
solution. We don't have any of that information.
So the only thing we're left to decide on is whether or not there's
misconduct on the part of the respondent, and if there is, is there some
punitive amount that we can apply to the level of misconduct. And
without knowing the value of the work and the problems associated
with it, I don't know how we move forward.
MR. OSSORIO: Okay, Mr. --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Like you said, I don't think that you're
Page 134
16 I 1 A?J
October 21, 2009
going to be able to -- I don't really honestly think we're going to be
able to make that decision with the information that we have before
us. I think --
MR. NEALE: Mr. White had a point to make.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: -- probably the best thing to do is to
defer it to the courts and act on the charge.
MR. WHITE: Exactly, Mr. Chairman. And I'd like to echo what
Mr. Lykos' concerns are. I mean, I'm looking at the five factors that
Mr. Neale has read to us. And unlike the previous case, this is not a
life safety issue, okay. So the gravity of the violation of doing some
work outside the scope of competency I don't see as -- kind of that it's
near the minimum, near the lower end of the scale, the impact, if you
will, of the violation.
Again, I think that's a roughly similar factor in this particular
case. And the impact is one we cannot to the best of our ability weigh.
The action taken to correct, well, what actions were taken seem
to be reasonable to the degree that they were allowed to proceed.
Maybe if they're allowed to go further, maybe if the fungicide had
been applied at the time it was offered essentially I believe for free, it
may have worked better than two plus weeks later.
So the actions taken to me, I don't see them stacking up in a way
that works against the respondent.
We talk about previous violations is the fourth factor. I look at it
and say well, to some degree the other face of the coin was the
previous violation cited for doing landscaping work without having a
landscaping contract. So to some degree that kind of tends to have
less weight for me as well.
And the other things, you know, about the relevant evidence, I
tend to come down on the side of saying if there is a forum in which to
dispute what essentially is the financial harm, that ought not weigh, at
least it won't weigh much for me, in these five factors on what we do
for what is the violations that have been found.
Page 135
161

ftJ
October 21, 2009
So this is a tough case for a lot of I think unusual reasons. And it
may be to some degree because we're trying to put a square peg in a
round hole.
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Michael.
MR. OSSORIO: I'm going to make a recommendation. I hear
what you're saying, that you do have some literature in front of you of
damages. They're not direct testimony, I understand that.
So therefore, I will make a recommendation that no restitution be
sought after today, but I will be recom -- since they are guilty, I will
be making a recommendation of a $1,500 investigation cost and a
$5,000 fine. And I will-- and they can proceed to civil court.
MR. WHITE: May I make a comment, Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes, you may.
MR. WHITE: If they're two faces of the same coin and for the
citation for doing landscaping without being a landscaper, whatever
the dollar amount of the citation was, I believe it was $300, I am hard
pressed to understand why $5,000 for essentially an equivalent
violation stated differently in the ordinance has such a high suggestion
and recommendation for a fine. I think it's excessive under the
circumstance.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I agree with you.
MR. WHITE: To me, I tend to look to some of the other tools
we have in looking to balance this case. In particular, I think some of
the things we've been told we could do have to do with probation.
Things that I think may get us to a point where that one-year warranty
may have some relevance in getting these people to work things out.
The difficulty they're going to have in doing that is I'm pretty
sure Mr. Smoot, in -- as part of the litigation is likely to advise his
client that there may not be things that are advantageous to do to try to
work it out. I don't know, that's outside our scope.
But the point is that I don't know that other than having to pay
Page 136
16 ~ 1 fr3
October 21, 2009
the cost of the investigation and potentially some type of a public
reprimand makes sense, other than retaining jurisdiction for some
purpose, whether it's probation or otherwise, to allow the court case to
work out and see where it lands.
So I'm just offering that. I don't have a motion to make at this
point, but I'm just trying to help share with my fellow board members
kind of the way this case is shaping up in my mind.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I agree with you totally. I think the fine
that Mr. Ossorio has kind of projected is a little on the high side.
Understanding that this may very well work out between the two
parties, or it may well go to civil court. And in either sense of the
word, the damages that we see right now is the fact that she did act
without -- out of the scope of her license. And this is basically what
we're basing it on.
I think a fairer amount in my mind would be a $2,500 fine,
$1,000 for investigative costs, and a one-year probation, providing
that probation stays intact at least until she comes into compliance in
Collier County with a license. If it takes her three months, after three
months she'll be off probation.
After being in business in Fort Myers for quite a period of time, I
have conclusions that they know what they're doing. Unfortunately
this job turned out to be a nightmare. It could be the rain, could be the
sod, could be a lot of different things. But nevertheless, we can't make
that decision under those pretences, so that's my thought.
MR. WHITE: I believe the staff had sought 1,500 in
investigatory. I still think the 2,500 is excessive. I mean, to me I'd
much rather see a lower fine. Certainly the staff time needs to be
compensated for this matter to be prosecuted and investigated. But if
there's dollars going to be coming out of the respondent's pocket, I
don't know what good it does necessarily as a fine to go to the county,
if instead it could go to the property owners. And so that's the reason I
raised the concern about the dollar amount.
Page 137
Octtb~ 11, 201 .tY3
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: The fine wasn't so much for the property
owners, but for the fact that now, this is not one citation, this is the
second time.
MR. WHITE: Well, it's only the second time under the same set
of facts. In other words --
MR. SMOOT: Same incident.
MR. WHITE: -- unlike the previous case --
MR. NEALE: It's for the same incident.
MR. WHITE: -- where it was two years beforehand that they'd
caused a violation, this was exactly the same set of facts. They did not
create the same -- there are no two separate instances, it's all the same
point in time, the same yard and the same folks. Even though there
are two different provisions of law.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Kyle?
MR. LANTZ: I feel-- they've already paid $600 in fines. My
opinion is they've paid their share of fines. And $1,500 for
investigative fees, that's quite a chunk of change to be paying to
investigate -- I mean, no offense, but it's just a lawn. Whereas a lot of
the other things it's a real structural life safety thing and someone's
paying $500 for -- I'm sure they spent the time investigating, but I
think they're already out investigative fees and the fine, already paid
2,100 bucks. That's quite a chunk of change to me. That's plenty to
be out of their pocket.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Recommendation? What's your
thoughts? How much?
MR. LANTZ: My personal opinion is they should pay the
investigative fees, $1,500, and no additional penalty on top of what
they've already paid, except for probation.
MR. JERULLE: So we have 5,000, 2,500 and zero.
MR. WHITE: I'm with zero.
MR. SMOOT: Any credit for the $600 paid?
MR. L YKOS: No.
Page 13 8
16 I 1 A3
October 21, 2009
MR. WHITE: Separate violation.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Ifit goes to zero, how are we going to do
that?
MS. WHITE: No more than?
MR. WHITE: The thing I think about the probation that still
needs some work here is what are they required to under the
probation. Sounds like your expectation, Mr. Chairman, is that she
would get licensed and --
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Get a license.
MR. WHITE: -- the probation would cease.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Exactly.
MR. WHITE: That makes sense to me.
And if the board's collective opinion is that they otherwise then
work out the remedy between themselves in county court, I'm okay
with that. And I don't know if we're close enough for anyone to want
to hazard a motion or not.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: So at the moment we're still at $1,500 for
investigative costs and no fine?
MR. WHITE: If you want that in the form of a motion, Mr.
Chairman, I'll try.
MR. JERULLE: Just again, your recommendation, Michael, was
5,000?
MR. OSSORIO: My recommendation is 5,000, but 2,500 is fine.
But we're in the business of providing service. You're in the business
of protecting taxpayers. And I understand about restitution.
But this is televised. And this lady, unfortunately Mrs. White,
she was found guilty of working outside the scope of her certificate.
It's a serious offense. There's no difference from the gentleman
here before us and now. It's a fine. It's a punitive fine for what she
did.
And citation has nothing to do with it, we don't need to talk about
it, but I think it should be minimum 2,500. I understand 5,000, but it
Page 139
Octo~e92j, 20~ 1:3
should be 2,500, 1,500 in probation.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: That's where I'm at. I think the 25 (sic)
is a good wake-up call that maybe she won't do it again. Or if that's
the case she won't have to, because if she gets licensed, then the
problem's gone.
I'll put it in the form of a motion. We'll give it a try.
MR. L YKOS: I think 2,500's too high. She's already working on
her new license, she's trying to come into compliance.
It's your responsibility when you leave your -- Lee County to
know about the laws of the other jurisdictions you're working in. So
ignorance is not innocence --
MS. WHITE: I know that.
MR. L YKOS: -- of the law.
MS. WHITE: I -- as soon as this happened, I had Service Magic
pull all -- anything that I knew I wasn't -- and I'm only doing irrigation
down here.
And I did take the test, I have to go see the county. Like I said,
last night I got my test results, I missed it by two questions. I am
going to go in on the 14th of next month, retake the test. It's that darn
chain saw, you know, how many safety features is it to shut it off in an
emergency.
MR. L YKOS: The other thing I'm going to say is you
commented that because there was so much mud on the sod it created
gaps.
MS. WHITE: It did.
MR. L YKOS: Well, somebody's who's been doing sod for a long
time might not have installed it knowing that the result of installing it
at that point would have created gaps in the lawn.
MS. WHITE: That is correct.
MR. L YKOS: So, you know, to minimalize a landscaper's
license that all I have to do is get a tree trimmer license and I don't
even do trees, to minimalize the real experience and the real expertise
Page 140
16 I 1 p<3
October 21, 2009
of people that do what you did without a license, don't come in here
and trivialize to us the expertise of other people.
MS. WHITE: I'm not.
MR. L YKOS: It isn't as simple as getting a tree pruning license
and then I can do -- lay sod. Obviously there's some experience and
some education that goes along with laying sod. It isn't just getting a
tree pruning license and taking the class.
MS. WHITE: Absolutely.
MR. LYKOS: Okay?
MS. WHITE: Absolutely. And I've done very many floratam
yards. I've only done two zoysia. And the last zoysia yard I did was
probably seven years ago.
MR. L YKOS: Well, then maybe you shouldn't do them.
MS. WHITE: I absolutely wholeheartedly agree with you, sir.
MR. JERULLE: All right, I'm going to try this.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Let's wind one up here.
MR. ZACHARY: We had a motion, no second.
MR. NEALE: That motion died for lack of a second.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. JERULLE: May I try a motion?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN : You can try it.
MR. JERULLE: $1,500 fine -- excuse me, 1,500--
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Investigative.
MR. JERULLE: -- investigative costs. $1,000 fine. Probation
until the time she receives her license.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: How long a period of probation?
MR. JERULLE: Excuse me, one year or until she receives her
license. Excuse me.
MR. WHITE: Whichever occurs first.
MR. JERULLE: Correct.
MR. WHITE: Second.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Motion and a second. Discussion?

regarding the motion. Ian Jackson over here.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. JACKSON: Was there a time frame for the payment of the
cost and the fine?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No, there wasn't. Mr. Jerulle, do you
want to amend your motion?
MR. JERULLE: May I amend it?
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Yes.
MR. JERULLE: I'd like to amend the motion to include a time
period of 30 days to pay the fine.

of the respondent; and that Neida L. White d/b/a Dave's Sprinkler
Repair, Inc. was present at the public hearing and was represented by
counsel at the hearing on today's date.
All notices required by Collier County Ordinance 90-105, as
amended, have been properly issued and were personally delivered.
Respondent acted in a manner that is in violation of Collier
County ordinances, and is the one who committed the act.
The allegations of fact as set forth in the Administrative
Complaint as to Count I, 4.1.2, contracting to do any work outside of
the scope of his or her competency as listed on his or her competency
card, and as defined in this ordinance or as restricted by the

Conclusions of law alleged and set forth in the Administrative
Complaint as to Count I, 4.1.2, are approved, adopted and
incorporated herein to wit: The respondent violated Section 4.1.2,
contracting to do any work outside the scope of his or her competency
as listed on his or her competency card and as defined in the

particularity .
Order of the board: Based upon the foregoing findings of fact
and conclusions of law pursuant to the authority granted in Chapter

licensed in the trade that she is following her license.
It is so ordered.
MR. SMOOT: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You are welcome.
Good luck on the test, N eida.
MR. L YKOS: Ms. White, I just want to make a quick comment.
One of the issues that stuck with me a little bit was that you hired
another company to do the sod. That means you were acting as a
general contractor when you're not a general contractor. So even
when you get your license all figured out and you're operating legally,
don't hire other companies, you're not licensed to do that.
MS. WHITE: I won't do that again, sir.
MR. L YKOS: To me that was the reason why I supported an
additional fine. When not only were you doing work outside of your
own license, but then you went and hired somebody else to do work
and you're not licensed to do that either.
MS. WHITE: I won't do that again, sir.
MR. L YKOS: I'm glad to hear that.
MS. WHITE: I will get my landscape and sod license, even if I
Page 145
16 J lk3
October 21, 2009
don't use it down here.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I would get it to get off probation.
MS. WHITE: Absolutely. Like I said, I have to go see the
county and go request my test again. Two questions.
MR. L YKOS: Good luck.
MR. ORPHAN: Thank you, gentlemen.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: You're welcome.
MR. ORPHAN: You're all very fair.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: We try to be.
Okay, any other old business?
MR. WHITE: Just an update, if! may, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Sure.
MR. WHITE: In our last meeting there had been a discussion
about me serving as the consumer representative from the City of
Naples.
I was interviewed by the City Council Monday morning, and I
believe that they were to vote on my consideration today. And my
belief is that I will be acting as the representative from the city. But
we need to confirm that. And I will do so to Mr. Ossorio before our
next meeting.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Okay. Mr. Ossorio, I've got one other
case here that didn't show. Mr. Patrick H. Atchison.
MR. NEALE: Atchison, yeah.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: What do we do with this one?
MR. OSSORIO: Well, you're going to leave it on your desk and
I'm going to collect it and we're going to resend a notice to him. And
since the respondent's not here, we're going to renotify him, give him
the benefit of the doubt, and we'll see you in December with it.
MR. WHITE: Would that be the same with Mr. Bain?
MR. OSSORIO: Mr. Bain will have the same courtesy.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: There's no meeting in November?
MR. OSSORIO: No meeting in November. It will be in
Page 146
October 21, 2009
December.
MR. L YKOS: At Horseshoe, right?
MR. OSSORIO: It will be at Horseshoe Drive.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: Horseshoe Drive.
Is that like on the 24th or what?
MR. OSSORIO: 25th.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I knew you were going to say that.
MR. OSSORIO: It's the 16th.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: 16th, okay.
MR. WHITE: Just as a courtesy, I think was it Mr. Green that
was Gentleman Jim?
MR. LYKOS: Yes.
MR. WHITE: If you just would give him the courtesy ofletting
him know that we're not meeting next month and that our next
meeting in December is not here but rather at community
development, ifhe in fact wants to follow up on the information that
Mr. Neale's going to provide us, based on his research.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: No other business?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: I just need a motion.
MR. L YKOS: Motion to adjourn, Lykos.
MR. WHITE: Second, White.
CHAIRMAN JOSLIN: All in favor?
MR. BOYD: Aye.
MR. LANTZ: Aye.
MR. JERULLE: Aye.

A question was asked about a recent newspaper article concerning local parks.
Mr. Schmitt stated the land for an A TV park, which has not been developed, has
been counted as 625 acres in the AUIR. Initially, it was to be built near Lake
Trafford. There is a proposed joint site at the Jet Park between the County and Miami
Dade. The issue is tied to the Level of Service and the problem is collection of the
Impact Fees used to pay off the debt.
Discussion ensued concerning reducing the Level of Service, debt service to the
Water Park, and recreational facilities that are not being counted.

16 1 1 A~
November 4,2009
Joe Schmitt pointed out if the Level of Service ("LOS") is lowered from the adopted
levels, Impact Fees will also be lowered, and the burden to pay off the debt will be
carried by the General Fund. He stated the decision to build the Water Park was
made in 2000.
He further stated the Board's direction was to purchase beach and boat access
property which was expensive. Launching facilities are being expanded on Goodland
and Marco Island, at the ramp at 951. and on the Islcs of Capri.
It was noted that Collier County received a grant, part of which was earmarked for
"green building code" inspection training.
Mr. Schmitt confirmed the funds will be used to train and certify building inspectors
on the installation of solar products (plumbing and electric) at the Florida Solar
Center in Cocoa Beach.
Another question was asked regarding Impact Fees and excess of capacity Class A
services: why have the fees remained the same as when the capacity was at a deficit?
Amy Patterson, Impact Fee Manager, stated the "excess capacity" mentioned in the
newspaper article referred to Regional Parks and the acreage for the proposed A TV
Park which mayor may not be deeded (0 the County in the future. The actual exccss
capacity is for libraries. Two were built and Impact Fees are being used to pay the
debt.
She explained there was a significant difference between the adopted LOS and the
achieved LOS and, in order to reduce Impact Fees, a substantial cut would need to be
made in the Regional Park LOS.
C. Transportation Division Update - Nick Casalanguida
. The DOT's official projected date for completion of the Vanderbilt Beach
Bridge is December 19,2009
VII. Old Business
A. Brief update on the Zoning/Engineering & Environmental Fee study - Gary
Mullee
. Current Zoning projects are smaller projects
. For large land use projects, an hourly hybrid billing system is under
consideration which would track hours
. Costs could be reconciled and a rebate may be possible or additional fees due
as appropriate
. Approximately 25% of current projects are under-billed because the County
has based operation fees on a time study conducted in 2003
. General Fund support - 40% is for non-fee related operation
. A detailed request for General Fund support (subsidy) will be presented to the
BCC
Joe Schmitt stated the Zoning function is not self-sufficient. There may be a 25%
reduction in staff in February because he will not be able to meet payroll in March,
2010.

16 1 1 ~~
November 4, 2009
Discussion ensued. The expectation for the Zoning Department to be self-sufficient
was deemed to be "unrealistic" because Building Permit fees and Ad Valorem fees
subsidized Zoning.
It was suggested that hourly tracking should be reported periodically, rather than at
the end of the project as done with ORIs.
Gary MuIlee stated he may request a meeting of the Zoning Fee Subcommittee later
in the month.

Discussion occurred on thc wording in Section 3.05.07.H. I .d (on page #3, last
paragraph,) which states" Oil extraction and related processing operations
are uses which are exempt from the restrictions herein and shall remain
allowed uses on the lands described herein. "
It was noted these activities may have negative impacts on Preserves.
Stephen Lenberger read Section (V)(Vn Policy 1.1.6 of the Coastal
Conservation Growth Management Element of the Growth Management Plan
into the record which further addressest the activities:
"In those areas of Collier County where oil extraction and related processing
is an allowable use, such use is subject to applicable state and federal oil and
gas permits and Collier County nonenvironmental site development plan
review procedures. lJirectional-drilling and/or previously cleared or
disturbed areas shall be utilized in order to minimize impacts to native
habitats, where determined to be practicable. This requirement shall be
deemed satisfied upon issuance of a state permit in compliance with the
criteria established in Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, FA.C, as those rules
exist on the effective date of this amendment to the Collier County
Comprehensive Plan, regardless of whether the activity occurs within the Big
Cypress Watershed, as defined in Rule 62C-30.001(2). FA.C All applicable
Collier County environmental permitting requirements shall be considered
satisfied by evidence of the issuance of all applicable federal and/or state oil
and gas permits for proposed oil and gas activities in Collier County. so long
as the state permits comply with the requirements of Chapter 62C-25 through
62C-30, FA.C For those areas of Collier County outside the boundary of the
Big Cypress Watershed, the applicant shall be responsible for convening the
Big Cypress Swamp Advisory Committee as setforth in Section 377.42. FS.,
to assure compliance with Chapter 62C-25 through 62C-30, F.A.C even if
outside the defined Big Cypress Watershed. All access roads to oil and gas
uses shall be constructed and protected from unauthorized uses according to
the standards established in Rule 62C- 30.005(2)( a)(l) through (I2). F.A. C "
To asssist in minimizing impacts on sensitive areas, the Council
recommended the above Section of the Growth Management Plan be cross
referenced in the proposed amendment, so entities engaged in the activities
are aware ofthe requirements,
Chairman Hushon moved to approve the proposed Land Development Code
Amendment as presented subject to the language in Section 3.05.07.H.I.d,
addressing "Oil extraction and related processing... ", cross reference the
Growth Management Plan, Coastal Conservation Management Element
Section (V)(VI) Policy 1.1.6.." Second by Mr. Sorrell. Carried

3. Created Preserves, Supplimental Plantings & Off-site Preserve Criteria
LDC PAGE: LDC3:36 - LDC3:38
LDC SECTION(]): 3.05.07 Preservation Standards
CHANGE: Amend criteria for the crcation and restoration of native
vegetation. Include criteria for off-site native vegetation retention
alternatives.
Discussion occurred on the on-going status of Conservation Collier, (one of
the possible recepients of donated land) and if the Program exists into
"perpetuity. "
Jeff Wright Assistant County Attorney noted the funding for acquisition is
subject to voter referendum, however the Program has endowment funds for
maintenance into perpituity.
Discussion occurred if any non-governmental agencies were considered for
the land or monetary donation process (Aud~bon Society, Conservancy of
Southwest Florida). Some of the organizations may be more suited for
particular types of parcels (potential land to be donated may be adjacent to
holdings of these organizations, etc.)
It was noted for monetary donations, Conservation Collier may be best suited
for the activity, as the Program already has an active acquistion program in
place.
Stephen Lenberger noted Staff did not heavily consider non-governmental
agencies participation in the process, as it was not proposed by Stakeholders
during the public meetings.
Mr. Dickman moved to approve the proposed Land Deveiopment Code
Amendment. Second by Mr. Standridge. Carried unanimousiy 4-0.
4. Preserve Management Plans
LDC PAGE: LDC3:38 - LDC3:39
LDC SECTION(SJ: 3.05.07 Preservation Standards
CHANGE: Implement requirements ofthe GMP with regard to preserve
management plans and how they address natural diversity, stormwater
management and agency approved listed species management plans.
Discussion occurred on Section 3.05.07H.l.g.vii regarding where the required
monitoring reports are filed.
Stephen Lenberger, noted the County has the right to inspect Preserves at
any time and the landowner is required to complete an annual inspection and
report. If Staff encounters a problem on an inspection, Staff may request the
report from the landowner who is to keep the reports for 5 years (as provided

in Section 3.05.07H.1.g.ix). Any violations are forwarded to Code
Enforcement for action.
The Council and Staff noted if any homeowner within an Association
identifies a potential violation in management of a Preserve, the individual
may report it to Code Enforcement for any necessary action.
If the amendment is formally approved, (by the Board of County
Commissioners) the Council suggested Staff consider notifying Homeowner
Associations of any changes which may affect them.

Amendment as presented. Second by Mr. Standridge. Carried unanimously

2. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance follow-up discussion - Robert Wiley discussed the
Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) vote to recommend the ordinance for
approval subject to removal of the cumulative substantial improvements, reduced cumulative
substantial improvements threshold, and freeboard sections. The FMPC discussed the need
for freeboard and a motion was made to ask DSAC to have a representative come and explain
scientifically why cost is a valid justification to remove the freeboard regulation. This
motion was not seconded. Further discussion left the issue for staff to notifY DSAC that their
position will be presented to the Collier County Planning Commission (CCPC) and they are
welcome to come and defend it. Staff is trying to schedule an evening meeting with the
CCPC in June for the ordinance review.

NEW BUSINESS
1. Review of the Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report for 2008 - Ray Smith asked for
comments or recommended editing of the Progress Report page by page. Duke Vasey
recommended that information on different design storm events be added to the Flood
Damage Prevention Ordinance, etc. Phil Brougham motioned to revise the 2009 Action Plan
Item C-I0 [5(c)(i)] to read as follows:
Initiate discussions with the Big Cypress Basin/South Florida Water Management District
to define the issues regarding excess fresh water runoff from the Main Golden Gate
Canal into Naples Bay, including the cities of Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City.
and develop an action plan to address needed corrective actions (e.g. preliminary
engineering ancl environmental design study for diverting a portion of the flow from the
Main Golden Gate Canal to the northern Belle Meade or southem Golclen Gate Estates
areas, funcling, lancl issues, long term goals. capital projects, etc.).
The motion passed unanimously. Upon completion of the page by page review, Ray Smith
motioned for approval of the Progress Report, as amended. The motion passed unanimously.
2. Selection of a 2009 public meeting schedule to discuss the Floodplain Management Plan and
request input from local residents - Robert Wiley provided a spreadsheet of locations
previously used for these evening meetings. The Committee asked that the Immokalee site
be relocated to the Career and Service Center if it was available. Ray Smith polled the
Committee on consensus for each of the seven sites, with the top five vote getters being the
five selected sites. The Committee voted for the following locations and Robert Wiley will
make the contacts to schedule the meetings in July.
. G.G. Estates Fire Station
. Career and Service Center (Immokalee)
. Mackel Park (Marco Island)
. Central Avenue Library
. St John the Evangelist Church
Following the polling, Duke Vasey motioned to accept these five sites and the motion passed
unanimously.
3. Public Comments -
. There was one County Stormwater Management employee attending the meeting as a
visitor.
. Phil Brougham requested that staff present the Floodplain Management Plan evaluation
and scoring process with the Insurance Services Office (ISO) and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
. John Torre asked about the published notice that Travis Gossard had placed wherein he
identified 252-8924 as the telephone number to call for drainage problems. Robert Wiley
explained that is the Road Maintenance Department main number and they receive all
drainage complaint calls. That is a different issue than the Action Plan's item to establish
a single point of contact for drainage problems. Road Maintenance only handles their
public systems of swales and canals, not drainage problems within developments.
. Phil Brougham asked if there was any response on FEMA's review of the County
Attorney's opinion of the Floodplain Administrator's responsibility to review
Page 2 on
16J
Transportation Division projects in the floodplain. Robert Wiley responded that no
FEMA response had been received.

Cul-de-sac Improvements
Due Date: September 25, 2009. no later than 2:30 PM
Understandina of proiect and reauired deliverables
We understand this project to be both aesthetic and functional to provide both consistent
landscape character throughout these Forest Lakes neighborhood streets with needed
functionality for trash collection.
Proiect Scope
The scope of this project consists of a detailed site investigation of the cul-de-sacs to evaluate
existing landscape features in relation to the county supplied site survey base plans and format
and update as necessary to produce generally current base maps for design purposes. We will
then prepare typical conceptual cul-de-sac island plans for presentation to the MSTU
Committee. CA TM Project Manager and MSTU civil engineer for review and consideration.
These will be illustrative for clarity and ease of communication of the standard island
dimensions. proposed landscape designs and waste collection pads. We anticipate completing
2-3 typical landscape designs which could be alternated throughout the 22 cul-de-sacs for
variety and interest while maintaining themed repetition. The cul-de-sac islands will
accommodate 2 waste containers per cul-de-sac residence blended with a modified Type 'F'
curbing and the overall island aesthetics as a planned design component. Once approved. we
will commence with typical cul-de-sac island construction drawings preparation which will
involve a series of 30%.60% and 100% plan set submittals to the CATM Project Manager and
MSTU civil engineer for review and comment. Upon receipt of review comments. we will modify
the plans as directed for each subsequent submittal until 1 00% complete. We will attend the
monthly MSTU Committee meetings throughout this project scope of services where we will
present status reports of project progress including opinions of probable cost at the 60% and
100% stages.
Existino Conditions and Considerations
Upon our initial field review. we identified several site conditions which will be carefully
considered during the cul-de-sac landscape design process. All of the cul-de-sac islands drain
to the outside of the cul-de-sac streets with the islands being the high points. A few of the cul-
de-sacs contain mature shade trees which have aesthetic value if they can remain. The cul-de-
sacs contain a great variety of landscape design elements which will be evaluated for
appropriateness with the new typical designs. For the most part. these elements did not appear
to be note worthy for preservation and incorporation into the new designs.

Team Strateqv
Due to the observed consistency of the 22 cul-de-sacs' general drainage configuration and
layout. we do not anticipate stormwater changes and so foresee minimal civil engineering
design services on the project. Windham Studio wiil prepare the typical conceptual cul-de-sac
plans, typical cul-de-sac layout and dimension plan and typical cul-de-sac planting plans and
specifications. Agnoli Barber and Brundage wiil provide minor supplemental details and
specifications for the cubing as needed.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take a few moments to provide my comments regarding Agnoli
Barber and Brundage Inc.
The Collier County Parks & Recreation Department has worked with Agnoli
Barber and Brundage for many years and they have always provided us with
excellent service and have been very professional from the beginning of the
project all the way though to the completion of projects.
One example of their excellent. professional service was just about a month ago
our department had an emergency at one of our parks.
We contacted Agnoli Barber and Brundage and they were very energetic to help.
They visited the site provided the engineering for the repairs and got this work
completed in a very short period of Ume.
It was outstanding that they communicated. on a daily basis, with our department
on how things were proceeding. They were in constant communicaUon with our
department advising us on the steps that were needed to get the work completed
in a timely manner.
Our department would ask Agnoli. Barber and Brundage to provide us with
engineering service in the future. As I have mentioned to you before they are a
very professional company and we have always had great service from them.

Re: ASS, Inc. Engineers
Dear Sir,
ASS, Inc. is currently finishing up as design engineer for our Old 41
Road Widening Project.
Their tasks include roadway design, specification preparation,
bidding assistance, assistance with ROW acquisition, legal
description preparation, environmental agency parmitting,
coordination with fronting property owners, construction engineers,
permitting agencies, utilities, and the contractor.
The project was a $20 million project where timing for completion
was critical. The project has come in substantially under budget and
under scheduie, iargely due to ASS's involvement.
The City is very pleased with the outcome of this project and would
not hesitate to retain ABS, Inc. in the future.

Improvements, and Roadway Tree Plantings
Due Date: September 25, 2009, no later than 2:30 PM
Understandina of proiect and reauired deliverables
We understand this project to be first and foremost a project for the residents of Forest Lakes to
walk. jog and bicycle safely along Forest Lakes Boulevard and Woodhsire Lane both day and
night through an innovative sidewalk system which responds to the varied site conditions. Xeric
trees will shade this 2 mile thoroughfare and provide seasonal flowering interest together with
thoughtful ground cover enhancements at key locations. Decorative lighting will provide
illumination for safety and proper function. reinforce the community character and integrate the
existing and proposed street trees.
Proiect Scope
The scope of this project consists of a detailed site investigation of the project area to identify
opportunities and constraints for possible sidewalk alignment. We will evaluate existing site
features in relation to the county supplied site survey base plans and format and update as
necessary to produce generally current base maps for design purposes. At this time. we will
also identify a preferred alignment strategy which minimizes stormwater impacts by reviewing
the existing system and potential trouble areas. We will then prepare conceptual sidewalk plans
for presentation to the MSTU Committee, CA TM Project Manager and MSTU civil engineer for
review and consideration. These will be illustrative for clarity and ease of communication of the
primary sidewalk and landscape design elements. Once approved. we will commence with
construction drawings preparation which will involve a series of 30%.60% and 100% plan set
submittals to the CA TM Project Manager and MSTU civil engineer for review and comment.
Upon receipt of review comments, we will modify the plans as directed for each subsequent
submittal until 100% complete. We will attend the monthly MSTU Committee meetings
throughout this project scope of services where we will present status reports of project
progress including opinions of probable cost at the 60% and 100% stages.
Existina Conditions and Considerations
Upon our initial field review, we identified several site conditions which will be carefully
considered during the sidewalk and landscape design process. The south side of the northern
segment of Forest Lakes Boulevard seems to be the most conducive for a sidewalk yet contains
numerous condominium entrance drives. extensive landscaping. landscape boulders and
signage in the ROW area. Careful coordination with the adjacent condominiums will be
necessary for a cohesive solution. We observed the west side of the western segment of Forest
Lakes Boulevard to be the most conducive for a sidewalk with a combination of shallow
1
BVO # 08-5060-3 "Forest Lakes MSTU Bond Project F-58 Sidewalks, lighting
Improvements, and Roadwav Tree Plantlnas"
lA1
roadside swales for much of the alignment and no swales in many other portions. This area
looks promising to locate the sidewalk to the rear of the ROW area to minimize impacts to the
swales and meander where none exist The sidewalk and crosswalks will have to be carefully
coordinated with the culverts at the numerous cul-de-sac intersections. The many single family
homes along this segment of the road contain a great variety of landscape elements which will
have to be coordinated with the street trees. The south side of the southern segment of Forest
Lakes Boulevard appears to be the best location for the sidewalk with potential for meandering
and landscape enhancements though a culvert connection from the perimeter drainage ditch to
an interior lake may pose a challenge, Woodshire Lane contains the most challenging
characteristics for sidewalk alignment of all the site areas observed, Because of extremely
limited ROW area and the adjacent perimeter drainage ditch. the east side of the road will not
accommodate a sidewalk without major stormwater modifications. However. the west side
contains numerous challenges as well in the form of multiple condominium drives. dumpster
enclosures, shallow swales. mature shade trees and various landscape features, This will
require a collaborative effort between the condominiums and our entire team to provide a
sidewalk while preserving the street's tree-lined character and proper resident function,
Team Strateav
Due to the great variety of stormwater conditions throughout the project area. we feel that
stormwater system evaluation for possible modifications will be a significant part of the design
process. Our approach will be to design the conceptual sidewalk alignment based on the
observed stormwater elements then identify the key areas of conflict for stormwater
modifications. Agnoli Barber and Brundage will then design stormwater related plans. details
and specifications to supplement the sidewalk design where needed keeping in mind that our
overall design strategy will be to minimize such modifications to the greatest extent possible,
Windham Studio will prepare the conceptual sidewalk plans. layout and dimension plans.

Re: Regarding Windham Studio. Inc.
To Whom It May Concern:
As the General Manager of Bay Colony. I oversee the operations of this
exclusive community of nearly 1 ,000 residences including the tennis club,
golf course, beach club and a variety of resident services. This
encompasses the general maintenance of the community streetscape and
common areas to protect and enhance the ongoing investment of the
residents at iarge. From 2004-2007. Scott Windham of Windham Studio was
instrumental in preserving the inherent value in this community through
thoughtful design and project management sarvices.
As prime consultant. Scott and Windham Studio coordinated the design and
construction of a multimillion dollar refurbishment of the primary community
entrance and gate house, Bay Colony Drive and related common areas
including extensive hardscape design of decorative metal entrance gates,
pilasters, walls, decorative paving, landscaping and landscape lighting.
To complete these services, Windham assembled a team of sub consultants
to bring expertise to every facet of the project including Humphrey Rosal
Architects for the gate house design. Agnoli Barber and Brundage for the civil
engineering and Frank Kitchener, our then Manager of Grounds and
Maintenance for the sustainable landscape design strategies.
I have found Scott Windham to be a capable desigl1 professional,
knowledgeable in current trends, effective and well versed in team
coordination. Scott is available, commllnicates readily and responds
efficiently to project demands, adhering to predetermined schedllles. I highly
recommend Scott and Windham Studio Inc. for this consulting and design
service.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take a few moments to provide my comments regarding Agnoli
Barber and Brundage Inc.
The Collier County Parks & Recreation Department has worked with Agnoli
Barber and Brundage for many years and they have always provided us with
excellent service and have been very professional from the beginning of the
project all the way though to the completion of projects.
One example of their excellent. professional service was just about a month ago
our department had an emergency at one of our parks.
We contacted Agnoli Barber and Brundage and they were very energetic to help.
They visited the site provided the engineering for the repairs and got this work
completed in a very short period of bme.
It was outstanding that they communicated. on a daily basis, with our department
on how things were proceeding. They were in constant communicabon with our
department advising us on the steps that were needed to get the work completed
in a bmely manner.
Our department would ask Agnoli. Barber and Brundage to provide us with
engineering service in the future. As I have mentioned to you before they are a
very professional company and we have always had great service from them.

To Whom It May Concem:
Re: ABS, Inc. Engineers
Dear Sir,
ASS, Inc. is currently finishing up as design engineer for our Old 41
Road Widening Project.
Their tasks include roadway design. specification preparation,
bidding assistance, assistance with ROW acquisition, legal
description preparation, environmental agency permitting,
coordination with fronting property owners, construction engineers.
permitting agencies, utilities, and the contractor.
The project was a $20 million project where timing for completion
was critical. The project has come In substantially under budget and
under schedule, largely due to ASS's involvement.
The City is very pleased with the outcome of this project and would
not hesitate to retain ASS, Inc. in the future.

Mr. Paul Starzyk
Executive Director
Tech of Collier County
Mr. Starzyk:
Per our conversation on Thursday, October 29, 2009, we will continue
contracting Tech of Collier County to assist us in clean up of Golden Gate
Community Park thru November 30, 2009.
As of December 1, 2009, Golden Gate Community Park will not have funds
to retain Tech of Collier Counties services.
I will pass onto Annie Alvarez (Regional Manager) the expenses associated
with the services of Tech of Collier County for Golden Gate Community
Center from December 1, 2009 - September 30, 2010 to make sure there
are funds to cover the necessary expenses.
Per your email the costs for Golden Gate Community Center would be:
$6.79/hr for 5 adults with developmental disabilities for 3.5 hours per day =
$118.825/day. Estimating a 10% due to absenteeism or cancellation = 76
days x $118.825 = $9030.70
Thank you and I am sorry for the inconveniences that occurred due to this
budget shortfall.

· In lieu of rent, the lessee will be required to mow the 9 acres pasture, the
area around the cabin, a 1.3 mile long hiking trail and 1.3 miles of
firebreaks (page 2, #4, paragraph 2).
· The addition to a 5-year extension of the lcase subject to terms (known as
the Second Extended Term).
. During the Initial tenn, First Extended Term and Second Extended Term,
the lessee may tenninate "without cause."
· During the Initial term and the First Extended term, the lessor, (County)
may not terminate the lease "without cause."
Mr. Pires expressed concern the proposed amendments favors the lessee and the
County cannot tern1inate the lease without cause, etc. The County paid a
substantial sum to the lessee for the property, and the amended terms in the
proposed lease do not create a favorable "deal" for the County.
Mr. Delate, Chairman of the Lands Evaluation and Management
Subcommittee stated the Subcommittee recommended approval of the terms of
the lease due to the lessee's fmniliarity with, and past management of the
property.
Chairman Poteet requested clarification if the rental rate negotiated reflects
current market rates.
Melissa Hennig stated Staff contacted Michael Dowling, Property Management
Specialist, who indicated the price of one dollar per acre/annually is "the
reasonable going rate."
Mr. Pires expressed concern on the wording in Article 2 of the proposed
amendment, ("Ilthis Lease Agreement is not terminated prior to the expiration of
the First Extended Term, the Lease Agreement shall renew automatically.
provided the Lessee is not in default of any of the terms of this Lease...") The
language appears to allow the lessee to automatically renew the lease for the
Second Extended term, without an adequate termination clause/s for the County.
Melissa Hennig noted it is her understanding, during the Second Extended Term;
the County has the ability to terminate the lease (with or without cause).
Jennifer White, Assistant County Attorney stated she would review the
wording to ensure it addresses Ms. Hennig's understanding of the termination
clauses. She will also cnsure the lessee is in agreement with these terms.
Mr. Delate moved to approve the document "First Amendment to the Lease
Agreement" subject to the concerns expressed regarding the termination
clauses for the Second Extended Term be addressed by Jennifer White,
Assistant County Attorney. Second by Ms. Wolok. Motion carried 6 'yes" - 3
"no." Chairman Poteet, Mr. Pires and Mr. Dorta voted "no."
E. Gordon River Greenway Project Report - Jeff Curl (heard before Item
IV.D)

16~
1 ~~\
October 12, 2009
Mr. Curl provided an update on the Gordon River Greenway Project
highlighting the following:
· He participated in a conference call with various parties associated with
the project.
· His area of focus was the Conservation Collier property, with concerns on
Budgeting and Maintenance.
· The width and materials for use of the trails is still undetermined. There
is concern the poured concrete joints may negatively impact roller
bladers.
· The bridge and boardwalk material will bc wood.
Committee discussion occurred over the long-term maintenance ramilications for
the various materials that could be utilized for trails (pervious concrete,
impervious concrete, asphalt, etc.) and should the trails be lighted? In addition,
does the proposed budget for capital improvements on the Conservation Collier
parcel (12-foot wide pathway, artiliciallighting, etc.) meet the Ordinance
Requirements for thc Conservation Collier Program?
Melissa Hennig notcd the various parties involved with the project have indicated
the trail system proposed should be of ample width and lighted to accommodate
the varying types and times of usage associated with the trail system (wheel
chairs, roller bladders, walkers, bikers, nighttime use, etc.). It will be a
"transportation link" to the region (as opposed to a nature trail found on Preserve
properties. )
Speaker
Ellie Krier, Executive Director, Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust
noted there have becn discussions on keeping the trail system open until I I pm,
and the requirements for lighting are being reviewed in conjunction with the
impacts on the Naplcs Airport and the Rookery.
D. Budget Recommendations
Melissa Hennig provided the Executive Summary "Budget Workshop
Continuation" datcd October 12,2009. Staff prepared the budget based on
Subcommittee Recommendations lor public amcnities at each Preserve. There
are 5 courses of action recommended in the Executive Summary including:
I. Adopting the Lands Evaluation and Subcommittee recommendations
jiJr public amenities at each preserve.
2. Transler an additional $7. 38MfYom the Acquisition Fund 172 to the
Management Fund 17-1 according to thejiJllowing schedule: FY 2011
- $3M: FY 2012 - S2.18M and FY 2013 - $2. 2M: Total ol$7. 38M
3. Conducting annual reviews olthe public amenity list and estimated
budget by Preserve.
4. Research and applyjiJr Grants to payjiJr all management activities,
including public amenities not included in the recommendation, ij
feasible.

1 fxl\
October 12. 2009
5. Review. no less than annually, the above listed recommendations as
they relate to management estimates for all current andfuture
preserves, and. if necessary, make additional recommendations to
ensure land managementfimding in perpetuity
Mr. Pires expressed concern over the amount of funds proposed to be transferred
from the Acquisition Fund to the Maintenance Fund; especially given the current
and immediate future market conditions where properties may be acquired at
reduced values over previous years.
Alex Sulecki noted historically 15% of the Acquisition price of a parcel has been
transferred to the Maintenance Fund. Using the proposed amenities to calculate,
it has been determined approximately 19.7% ofthe Acquisition values would be
allocated to maintenance. The proposal is for the Program to "make up the
difference" over the next 3 fiscal years.
Committee discussion included:
· Approval by the Board of County Commissioners is required for the
transfers.
· I l' the funds are transferred, can they be transferred back to the
Acquisition Fund?
· Due to the design status of the Gordon River Greenway Project (30 %
complete), is it premature to develop a budget for it?
Ellie Krier, Executive Director Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust
clarified there are 4 bridges associated with the Gordon River Greenway Project,
I on the North side and South side of the Naples Zoo property, one on the lands of
Conservation Collier and one on the south end of the project in the City of Naples.
She noted the proposed Conservation Collier budget provides for the construction
01'2 bridges and recommended the funding for the bridge in the City of Naples be
removed.
Committee Discussion continued with regard to the Gordon River Greenway
Project funding including:
· Has there been a formal determination that Conservation Collier Funds
are to be utilized for construction of the City of Naples Bridge?
· A map should accompany the proposed budget (and any other Preserve
budgets as necessary) identifying the proposed improvements.
. The property owned by Conservation Collier within the Project is
unique within the Conservation Collier Program, and may need to be
treated differently.
· The Project provides an excellent opportunity lor promoting the
Program, and money should be allocated for signage.
Committee discussion on the proposed budget continued:
5
16 ~ 1-lVl\
October 12. 2009
· Should the budget include a kayak/canoe launch for Wet Woods
Preserve?
· Should the proposed budget contain a disclaimer the budget is for
"Planning Purposes" and subject to final designs, etc. to provide for
flexibility in funding the various items.
· Funds may be moved within the budget (between Preserves and within
Preserves ).
Mr. Delate noted the Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee's
concept was to develop a basic amount of funding required for maintenance.
Although they examined each Preserve and developed a basic funding amount,
they did not complete detailed analyses by line item of all the expenditures. He
recommended the Committee adopt an overall Maintenance Fund Amount tor
planning purposes, which can be itemized in the future.
Chairman Poteet expressed concern over adopting a line item budget within
which, the exact expenditures have not been determined.
Ms. Wolok moved to adopt Staff recommendation #3-5, (3. Conducting annual
reviews of the public amenity list and estimated budget by Preserve.
4. Research and apply for Grants to pay for all management activities,
including public amenities not included in the recommendation, if feasible.
5. Review, no less than annually, the above listed recommendations as they
relate to management estimates for all current and future Preserves, and, if
necessary, makes additional recommendations to ensure land management
funding in perpetuity.). In addition, to transfer up to an additional $7.38M
from the Acquisition Fund 172 to Management Fund 174 with the provision the
Committee does not stick to the particular schedules for FY2011 - 2013 until
more information is provided, and not to adopt the Lands Evaluation and
Management Subcommittee's recommendations for public amenities at each
Preserve at this time with the hope to do that in January when there is more
information about time lines regarding the Gordon River Greenway and other
issues discussed. Second by Mr. Curl. Motion carried 7 'yes" - 2 "no." Mr.
Pires and Chairman Poteet voted "no."
The Committee requested Statl determine whether the funds can be transferred
back to the Acquisition Fund if necessary.

B. City Gate 16-acres Donation Proposal- ICSR
Mr. Sterk stated he had a conflict olinterest with the City Gate parcel and would
not be voting.
Alex Sulecki presented a Slideshow on the document "Initial Criteria Screening
Report (ICSR)fiJr the City Gate Property" dated October 2009, outlining the
following:
· The parcel is owned by Antonio Faga Trust/aka City Gate mitigation
parcel, 16 acres in size and adjacent to Collier County Utilities Mitigation
Parcels.
· The owner proposes to donate the parcel to Conservation Collier with a
perpetual management endowment 01'$18,667.
· The lands are subject to a US Fish and Wildlife Service "Incidental Take
Permit" and have been utilized for mitigation for the City Gate
devclopment.
· Staff requests the Committee's recommendation on how to address any
easements associated with the parcel, i.e. whether to order a title search in
advance of presentation of the donation proposal to the Board of County
Commissioners.
· There is "legal access," but poor "physical access to the parcel. Roads
are unpaved, private and in poor condition. The USFWS recommends to
only allow access to the property for supervised groups, not general
public access.
· Restoration has been in process for 5 years and continues.
· A detailed overview of the environmental characteristics of the site.
· The ICSR scoring criteria providing a score of 190 out of a possible 400
(a score in the range typical of most properties within the program)
Some Committee members expressed concern the amount proposed for the
maintenance endowment is inadequate. In addition, is the donation premature
given the properties restoration status?
Speaker
Robert Rice, Attorney for City Gate, addressed the Committee noting the
USFWS permit requires the existing landowner to maintain the land for 5 more
years so the County would not incur any Management expenses until 2014. City
Gate is pursuing a Community Development District. The landowner is open to
discussion on management/maintenance, which should be completed in
conjunction with maintenance on the adjacent County owned parcels. The
amount of endowment was determined by USFWS and the landowner feels it is
adequate, especially given the requirement to maintain the land until 2014, at
which time restoration will have taken place for 10 years.
Discussion occurred if the USFWS permit would be assigned to the parcel, should
it be transferred to the County.
7
16 M 1 ~\\
October 12, 2009
Mr. Rice noted the permit is assigned to the landowner as part of its
Development, and would remain assigned to the landowner should the property
transfer.
Committee members noted if the property is transferred to the County, a
Maintenance Agreement should be entered into between the County and the
landowner to outline the responsibilities of future maintenancc.
Some members felt thc donation to the Program should be approved as the
Program has established a policy for donations, and ifnot approved, may
discourage other landowners with similar parcels from coming forward and
donating to the Program. The landowncr will be responsible to complete at least
10 years of restoration and the parcel contains State Listed Species that need
protection.
Other members felt the donation should not be approved as the maintenance
endowment is not sufficient as proposed, it may be premature given the status of
the proposed Community Development District, the parcel has limited or no
individual public access, and in an already protected status may not meet the goals
of the Program.
Mr. Dorta moved to accept the donation of the City Gate property. Second by
Mr. Sobczak. Motionfailed 3 'yes" - 5 "no" with 1 abstention. Mr. Curl, Mr.
Pires, Ms. Wolok, Ms. Karim and Mr. Delate voted "no." Mr. Sterk abstained.
Mr. Pires moved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners to
accept the donation subject to the following:
1. The proposed funding amount for a maintenance endowment is increased to
$57,000 (approximately 19 percent of the $300,000 appraised value of the
property listed in the Report).
2. The Developer enter into a maintenance agreement with Collier County to
fund the maintenance of the parcel into perpetuity should the $57,000 be
exhausted. Said agreement to be assignable to the Community Development
District, should it be formed.
3. The Community Development District, should it be established by the Board
of County Commissioners, as one of its first orders of business, enter into an
agreement with Collier County to perform maintenance on the parcel into
perpetuity.
Second by Ms. Wolok. Motion carried 5 'yes" - 3 "no" with 1 abstention. Mr.
Dorta, Mr. Sobczak and Mr. Curl voted "no." Mr. Sterk abstained.
Ms. Karim moved to have Staffperform title work to determine presence of
potential easements as part of the agreement to accept the donation of the City
Gate parcel. Second by Mr. Pires. Carried unanimously 8-0 with 1 abstention.
Mr. Sterk abstained.

Alex Sulecki noted Risk Management has informed Staffvoluntecrs are treated as
"employees," and are subject to applicable screening requirements. In addition, does
the Program want to utilizc public volunteers in activities considered "dangerous"
(tree removal by chainsaw, etc.)? Another option may be a public initiative as
opposed to a County initiative. StafTwill continue to invcstigate the issuc.

CHAIR: Doris J. Lewis
VICE-CHAIR: Loretta Murray
Connie Bettinger-Hennink
Rochelle Lieb
ABSENT: Gina Downs

Linda Fasulo, Executive Director, FOL
Carla Grieve, Member, FOL Board of Directors
Bob Verbesey, Executive Director, SWFLN
Roberta Reiss, Literacy Coordinator
Luz Pietri, Administrative Assistant
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mrs. Lewis asked for comments or corrections to the minutes of September 16, 2009. There being none,
Mrs. Murray moved, seconded by Mrs. Lieb and carried unanimously, that the minutes be approved as
submitted.
LITERACY PROGRAM REPORT
Mrs. Reiss mentioned that she had contacted the Hispanic family that has been preparing for their
citizenship exams with the help of the Literacy program, for an interview by Linda Fasulo for an
upcoming issue of the FOL Newsletter and they have agreed to do it. Also, Mrs. Reiss stated that she
had found, by chance, a government website called 'USALEARNS.ORG 'which teaches life skills for non-
English speakers available to anyone from their home or public computers.
Mrs. Murray recalled the offer made by Commissioner Coletta at a recent meeting to have the County
donate unused laptop computers to the Library for use by patrons. Mrs. Matthes explained that this
offer would be appreciated but that those used laptops might require a lot of technical help to make
them useful and the Library does not have enough technical staff to undertake this task. She further
stated that if the Library receives the Broadband Stimulus Grant, there would be more than enough
computers available.
Mrs. Fasulo wanted to make Mrs. Reiss aware that a member of the Friends, Mr. Bill Forbes, who had
also been recently appointed to serve on the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board, is interested in developing
some Friends material that will target the Hispanic community and wanted to meet with Mrs. Reiss to
discuss it with her. Mrs. Reiss agreed to have Mrs. Fasulo give him her number to call and talk to him
about it.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
The Board reviewed the nominations submitted for selection of the Library's Employee of the Month.
Mrs. Murray moved, seconded by Mrs. Bettinger-Hennink and carried unanimously, to select Barbara
Schulze, Library Assistant at the Vanderbilt Branch Library, as EOM for October 2009.
In reference to the Old Golden Gate Library building, Mrs. Matthes reported that work has already
started. The old section of the library is being torn down. The architect is working on a packet with an
overall footprint of the building with some internal indication of what's where to share with potential
major donors. There's talk about a major fund raising activity to be held at the new Golden Gate Library
sometime this winter.
In reference to the Rose Hall, Mrs. Matthes stated that the Library had reopened again as planned on
October 1". Construction should be finished by January 2010.
In reference to the South Regional Library, Mrs. Matthes stated that this branch started to exceed the
East Naples circulations since July 2009 and have maintained that margin for the rest of the year. More
programs are being planned for this branch. There are plans to have the next book sale at this location.
Signage is still a work in progress.
In reference to the possible changes in the Fines and Fees, Mrs. Matthes asked the Board for any
comments or suggested changes besides the proposed ones. Some of the changes include charges for
using the meeting rooms and charge non-library card holders for use of the public computers. Mrs.
Matthes asked for a recommendation by the Board to accept the Fines and Fees as revised. Mrs.
Bettinger-Hennink moved that the Board accept the Fines and Fees revisions for the Collier County
Public Library. Mrs. Lieb seconded the motion. It carried unanimously.
Mrs. Matthes reported that she had recently attended the Library Director's Conference in Tallahassee.
She stated that because of the economy some libraries have stopped part of their services to the
community, like reserves, courier services, mail-a-book programs, etc. Mrs. Matthes also mentioned
that there are some changes coming up in order to qualify for grants from the State. Points will be
awarded for how well the library can comply with State Law to provide education on internet safety for
children. Mrs. Matthes explained that the Library already has some programs on site, but will probably
provide more extensive programs in order to qualify for more points.
NEW BUSINESS - None
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Mrs. Lewis mentioned that a Library patron approached her as to who chooses what periodicals are
purchased for the Library. Mrs. Matthes responded that the staff has ways of checking out how well
they circulate before they are taken out of circulation.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mrs. Matthes handed out copies of the Collier County Legislative Priorities for 2010 and noted that the
Libraries had 111 and 112. She also handed out copies of the latest statistics and noted that the Library
has already exceeded last year's circulation. Mrs. Matthes also stated that the Everglades City Library
had reopened.
Mrs. Matthes commented that Mrs. Downs had mentioned to her that she was working with someone
from Pelican Bay and was suggesting that the Vanderbilt Beach Library continue to provide services with
one paid library staff member and 20 or so volunteers. Mrs. Matthes stated that she had some
reservations about this kind of set up and some legal issues to consider.
Mrs. Matthes mentioned that the Friends were considering the purchase of t-shirts with a logo saying
'Friends with Benefits' in order to promote the Library. She wanted to know what they thought of this
idea. After some discussion, the Board members decided that they would like to see more choices.
REPORT OF THE FRIENDS
Mrs. Fasulo stated that the Friends have about 2,800 paid members and about 7S0 inactive members.
Mrs. Fasulo said that the slogan Mrs. Matthes was referring to was meant to target the 20 to 40 year-old
demographic population. The slogan is a 'work in progress', Mrs. Fasulo stated. SO% of the FOL Board
members liked it and 50% did not. She also commented that the FOL had selected Nick Linn to be their
new President at their recent annual meeting. Their next meeting will be held on December 9th and
Mrs. Fasulo invited the LAB members to attend. So far, 480 tickets have been sold for the upcoming
Lecture Series and the Friends have grossed about $115,000. The Friends gained 50 new members
through the sales of Lecture Series tickets. Ms. Fasulo reminded the LAB members about the upcoming
Red, White and Roulette event to be held November 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the Naples Italian American Club.
Lastly, Mrs. Fasulo reported that the Friends had funded Mrs. Matthes's recent trip to Tallahassee.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Library Advisory Board, Mrs. Lieb moved, seconded

Wilson Miller, Inc. is currently working on a community improvement master plan project for the
community of Pelican Bay. I would like to request the following public records to assist us with
the project:
. All incidents (both reports written and calls for service) Including traffic crashes in the
Pelican Bay grid from 09/1/07 to 09/1/09.
Additionally, because we are considering the option of changing the lane configuration on some
roads in Pelican Bay, we would like to identify any problems that may have occurred on
Vineyards Boulevard (which has a configuration similar to the one being considered for Pelican
Bay Boulevard). To assist us with that part of the analysis, we would like to have the following:
. All traffic-related incidents (crashes involving motor vehicles, bicyclists, and
pedestrians) that occurred on Vineyards Boulevard (within the Vineyards
Community) between 9/01/04 and 09/01/09.
If possible, please provide the data electronically in an Excel format with a list of the date/time of
incident, location of incident, type of incident and report number if one was written.
I have enclosed a flash-drive to facilitate transferring the data for your convenience. I
understand there will be a charge for this data, so If you would advise me of the cost, and when
the data would be available, I would sincerely appreciate it.
If there are any questions, I can be reached at 239-649-4040. Thank you.

ROLLCALL
All Board members were present with the exception of Mr. Hunter Hansen. Mr. Hansen did not respond to
several attempts to contact him.
CHAIRWOMAN'S REPORT
Chairwoman Womble welcomed and introduced Ms. Jill Kobe to the Board and audience. Ms. Kobe is a
new commercial interest's Board member and General Manager ofthe Waterside Shops. The Board of County
Commissioners appointed her 9/15/09.
APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 14. 2009 SPECIAL SESSION SUMMARY MINUTES
Mr. Gravenhorst made a motion to approve the September 14,2009 Special Session Summary Minutes.
Mr. Levy seconded.
Dr. Raia referred to page 8160 that reads, "Mr. Dorrill said that staffwas looking into continuing to utilize
Mr. Hall's services through his firm, Turrell, Hall & Associates without incurring any extra overhead cost by the
primary contractor. He said he did not expect a problem, but if it were, he would disclose that information at the
next meeting of October 7, 2009." Dr. Raia said he did not see any agenda item regarding Mr. Hall's continuation of
services. He asked if there would be a discussion.
Chairwoman Womble said the subject of Mr. Hall's continuation of services is incorporated into Mr.
Dorrill's "Miscellaneous Correspondence, Agenda Item 10 A, Turrell, Hall & Associates' Subcontract Update and
added that although the description was vague, was where Mr. Dorrill would discuss and provide an update of Mr.
Hall's subcontract.
Dr. Raia said there is a typo, page 8170, third paragraph and suggested inserting "to" after "does the
Services Division get keep the plans." The amended sentence should read, "Mr. laizzo asked if Wilson Miller gets
the initial contract to carry out the phases and there is fallout, does the Services Division get to keep the plans."
Referring to the September 14, 2009 minutes, Dr. Raia began to discuss his suggestions for amendments to the inter-
local agreement.
Regarding the amended language of the inter-local agreement as approved by the Board and recorded in the
9/14/09 summary minutes, page 8166, Dr. Raia suggested further amending page one, the fifth WHEREAS that
reads, "The District and the Foundation are both funded only by the residents and property owners of the Pelican
Bay Community." He suggested striking "residents" to read, "WHEREAS, the District and the Foundation are
funded only by the property owners of the Pelican Bay Community." He recognized that the language had already

~'?J
been amended, pointing out originally it read, "WHEREAS, the District and the Foundation are both funded only by
the residents" and that the Board voted to amend the language by adding "property owners." Dr. Raia said, "I think
there is a little ambiguity and it should just say 'funded only by the property owners.' That includes everybody.
Once you put in residents and property owners it almost means you have to be a resident and a property owner. If
someone is a property owner but not residing here then that could mean they are not eligible. I would be satisfied
just having 'property owners' because the people who vote are the property owners. You might want to get an
opinion on that, but I think it just leaves it open for somebody to question it." Dr. Raia's consensus was to strike the
term "residents," so the clause would read, "Funded only by the property owners..."
Chairwoman Womble asked Mr. Hoppensteadt to clarity if there are any circumstances where residents
who are not property owners, i.e., renters, did they ever pay the Foundation.
Mr. Hoppensleadt answered no and that only property owners pay the Foundation, just as only property
owners pay the Services Division's Municipal Services Taxing & Benefit Unit (MSTBU) non-ad valorem
assessment. He added, "Dr. Raia is right," and the teno "residents" should be stricken, so the inter-local agreement
reads only, "property owners."
Dr. Raia commented he did not understand why the teno "District" refers to the Services Division, when he
believes it should be "County." He added, "It looks like this is a boilerplate document made to fit everybody and it
gets a little confusing because sometimes a Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit or MSTBU can be referred
to as a 'Districts" and it could be confusing. If they mean 'County' it should say 'County.'"
Chairwoman Womble said Mr. Dorrill would address Dr. Raia's concerns regarding the inter-local
agreement under his "Administrator's Report, Review and Final Approval of Revised Inter-local Agreement for
Submission to BCe."
Mr. Cravens asked Dr. Raia if he was making a motion to amend the minutes to reflect his observations.
Dr. Raia said yes, and made a motion to amend the minutes striking "residents," including only "property
owners."
Mr. Levy said the minutes are a reflection of what happened at the meeting and based on Dr. Raia's motion
the Board cannot amend the minutes.
Chairwoman Womble concurred.
Dr. Raia did agree and said the minutes were correct. He explained he was referring to amending the
language of the inter-local agreement.

Mr. Gibson said, "I was not at the last meeting and my method of catching up to speed are these minutes. I
think Lisa might have done these, I'm uot sure, but they are much easier to read and so much more absorbable," then
the prior format, "so whomever is doing it gets kudos from me."
Chairwoman Womble agreed and said, "I took pretty intensive meeting minutes last time just to see how
close it would be and this is better than I could have done. Thank you very much, Lisa."
Ms. Resnick said thank you.
M,.G,avenhorst made a motion to app,ove the Septembe, 14, 2009 Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory
Boa,d Summary Meeting Minutes. M,. Levy seconded the motion. A Boa,d vote approved unanimously
the meeting minutes.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
REVIEW AND FINAL APPROVAL OF REVISED AND INTER-LOCAL AGREEMENT FOR
SUBMISSION TO BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Dorrill began his Administrator's report by summarizing the objective of the inter-local agreement.
This was for the benefit of Ms. Kobe, the new Commercial Interests Board member. He explained the Board has
been discussing for several months an innovative concept forming a joint venture with the Pelican Bay Foundation,
which is the Master Homeowner's Association in Pelican Bay, to carry out a comprehensive master plan with a look
at redevelopment over the course of the next six to nine months. Mr. Dorrill said the innovative part is asking the
Board of County Commissioners to declare the Pelican Bay Foundation a "sole source provider" to manage this
project. This will allow the Services Division to utilize the services ofthe local civil engineering and planning firm
Wilson Miller. Wilson Miller is the original design engineer and urban planner for this community's
redevelopment. At the last meeting, with the assistance of Mr. Hoppensteadt and his attorney, Mr. Anderson the
Board reviewed the agreement, amended the language and provided to the County Attorney's office for legal
sufficiency. The County Attorney made minor changes pertaining to legal form and the signature page and the
agreement is to be under consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their October 13,2009 meeting.
This Board has already voted to recommend this document, subject to the County Attorney's review. All ofthe
changes and amendments made at the last meeting reflect in this document. He offered to answer questions.
Mr. Cravens referred to Ms. Ashton-Cicko's email that stated Collier County would not be responsible for
any payments related to Wilson Miller. He asked Ms. McCaughtry if she had a copy of the email.

~\?
Ms. McCaughtry said that she did not have the email with her, but that Mr. Cravens was correct. Collier
County is not responsible to Wilson Miller because the Services Division does not have a contract with Wilson
Miller; the Services Division has a contract only with the Foundation.
Mr. Cravens said that he was, "curious as to how that affected our position with the County saying they are
not responsible for paying any fees and they are in fact the ones who will be paying fees ultimately."
Chairwoman Womble said, "This is what the crux ofthe problem was to begin with and why we had to go
to the Foundation and say, okay, you be in charge. Because of the situation with the government and trying to get
subcontractors or work orders approved through the County is a very difficult task."
Mr. Hoppensteadt said the issue that Mr. Cravens was referring to was very narrow and had to do with the
County's absorbing of interest and being able to provide payment on time and the Foundation recognized that
clearly as an item that they could not hold the Services Division responsible.
Chairwoman Womble said it is the same reason that the Services Division is not a contractor and
considered a client.
Mr. Moffatt said he had some comments on the inter-local agreement in addition to what Dr. Raia has
already suggested. Page 2, No.3 there is a typo at the end of the first line. "PBSB" should be "PBSD." Page 2, No.
7 he said was insert after the Board's last meeting and, "I have no idea what it refers to. 1 don't know if we have an
officer of the Foundation who is related to Wilson Miller, or why that is there."
Mr. Gravenhorst said, "I think we need an explanation."
Mr. Hoppensteadt explained it was langnage inserted by the County for legal purposes.
Mr. Dorrill added, "The County has an ethics policy and 1 presume in this case, if anyone from the
Foundation has a blood relative associated with the contractor who in this case would be Wilson Miller, then they
would have to disclose that. 1 presume this is standard boilerplate language that is consistent with the County's
ethics policy."
Mr. Moffittt said, "So it's not that we're dealing with something that is an issue today."
Mr. Dorrill confirmed.
Mr. Moffatt said that the County Manager's name requires amending on page 4.
Mr. Levy said that the copy emailed yesterday states, "Collier County Manager" with no name.
Chairwoman Womble said that Ms. Ashton-Cicko changed it.

Mr. Dorrill said in regards to the inter-local agreement, be did not believe that tbe Board needed to re-vote.
Tbe Board already voted to approve tbe inter-local agreement in its present form. He added tbat corrections to
spelling errors and comments made today would reflect as Scrivener's errors.
Mr. Gravenhorst said tbere was a major cbange made to page three, paragrapb 8. He said tbe cbange made
during the week reads entirely different from wbat tbe Board approved. Paragrapb 8 is a redo. It is correct now, but
tbe first draft email was incorrect.
Cbairwoman Womble said the current form is final and sent to the County Commissioners.
Mr. Gravenhorst said, "But we didn't approve it in tbis form. We approved it in tbe form tbat was
corrected."
Mr. Dallas said, "I'm not following you."
Cbairwoman Womble said, "I'm not eitber. If we approved it in this form, then what is tbe problem?"
Mr. Gravenhorst said, "But we didn't approve it in tbis form. This is tbe corrected form. Last meeting we
approved it. It was emailed out and there was an ambiguity inparagrapb 8 and was corrected. It is now correct
from the original email tbat went out about 10 days ago."
Cbairwoman Womble read the 9/14/09 meeting minutes pertaining to page three, paragraph 8. The
language was identical to wbat the Board had approved and the final document was correct.
Mr. Cravens said page 3, paragraph 8 is in correct form from the original.
Mr. Dallas said be tbought they discussed it before tbe Board approved it.
Mr. Gravenhorst accepted this explanation. He said that he had an old copy of the agreement and tbanked
Madam Cbair Womble.
Mr. Moffatt expressed that he had questions about the schedule.
Mr. Dorrill said the exhibits contain a detailed outline oftbe Scope of Services, a fee scbedule with a "not
to exceed" cost sharing formula and a phase scbedule estimated to be from October through April.
Mr. Moffatt said that ifbe was interpreting the proposed pbase scbedule correctly, it appears that Wilson
Miller is reporting to the Strategic Planning Committee before the Services Division. He added at the last Services
Division meeting tbey had agreed that Wilson Miller would report to both the Strategic Planning Committee and the
Services Division Board at the same time.
Mr. Dorrill said the intent is to hold advertised joint workshops between the Services Division and tbe
Strategic Planning Committee at each "Milestone" date.

Mr. Dallas asked Mr. Moffutt if he was referring to for example, item A 4, the first "Update Meeting with
the Foundation Planning Committee."
Mr. Moffatt said yes and that he was looking at anywhere there was a circle, which represents the Strategic
Planning Committee, before there was a square, which represents the Services Division. Tbe circles and squares
should coincide schematically having the same date and same time, signifYing a joint workshop, but they do nol.
Chairwoman Womble and Mr. Dallas agreed that schematically, the circles and squares should line up
together and have the same date and same time signifYing a joint workshop.
Mr. Dorrill said where there are circles and squares schematically are representative of advertised joint
workshops between the Services Division and the Strategic Planning Committee.
Mr. Moffatt said that from his interpretation, the regular Services Division meetings is when Wilson Miller
is scheduled to provide updates and that he did not see any special workshops on the schematic.
Mr. Gravenhorst said not all squares on the schematic correspond to joint workshops, Le., A 2) Meetings
with administrator and individual Board members; and A 6) Update with Services Division Administrator and
Board.
Mr. Dorrill said as a part of their approach, Wilson Miller will be conducting a set of interviews with
Services Division and Foundation similar operational staff.
Chairwoman Womble referred to a motion at the 9/14/09 meeting made by Mr. Dallas, seconded by Mr.
Levy and unanimously approved by this Board. The motion to amend the language of the inter-local agreement,
page two, No.3 reads, "The Foundation shall provide regular, at least at each Phase, reports to the Pelican Bay
Services Division Advisory Board and shall consult with and schedule workshops with the Pelican Bay Services
Division Advisory Board and Foundation's Strategic Planning Committee for input on the overall plan and direction
of the work projecl." The language ofthe fmal agreement sent to the Board of County Commissioners was different
from what this Board approved on page two, No.3. The Board approved language "Foundation's Strategic Planning
Committee" replaced "appropriate Foundation committee."
Mr. Cravens said ifthe Foundation has already approved the Strategic Planning Committee to work with
the Services Division, then why would the language change to "appropriate committee." He said any group other
than the Strategic Planning Committee would seem to be inappropriate.
Mr. Hoppensteadt confirmed.
Mr. Cravens asked why the language was changed.
8203
Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board Regular Session Summary Miuutes
October 7, 2009

Mr. Hoppensteadt said he did not believe that the Board specified the committee, but the Strategic Planning
Committee is the appropriate committee. He added he was amenable to correcting the Scriveners error by
identifYing the appropriate committee on page two, NO.3 to be "Foundation's Strategic Planning Committee."
Mr. Dallas directed the discussion back to scheduling joint workshops. He believes the dates corresponding
to joint workshops are A 4, Update Meeting with Foundation Planning Committee- 30 and 60% Conceptual Design _
11/11/09 and 11/24/09; B 4) Foundation Planning Committee Design Review at 90% - 01/26/10; and C 3)
Foundation Planning Committee Design Review at 90% - 03/31/10.
Mr. Hoppensteadt said Wilson Miller could meet and might meet with the Strategic Planning Committee
outside ofthe workshop format. At those non-workshop meetings there would be no decisions made. The
Foundation did not attempt to limit the number of interactions with Wilson Miller leading up to the joint workshops
at each phase. The challenge obviously is the public noticing of meetings. The intent is to meet jointly.
Mr. Dallas said, "I don't know how other people feel, but I would like to be there as part of our
committee."
Mr. Cravens said that the Strategic Planning Committee played a very substantial preliminary role. The
Services Division was not involved, although once invited to come on board they agree, but want to be full partners,
not partial. If there are meetings between the Strategic Planning Committee and Wilson Miller exclusively, that
does not make him feel as though he is a full partner. A full partner is what he wants to be and what he said the
Foundation offered.
Mr. Gravenhorst asked Chairwoman Womble if a subcommittee would be appropriate.
Chairwoman Womble said enough Board members are interested in attending the Strategic Planning
Committee meetings, that a subcommittee is not necessary, although they would have publicly notice the meeting
within the requirements of the Sunshine Law.
Dr. Raia said Sunshine Law encumbers the Board and it makes it difficult to accomplish anything.
Chairwoman Womble said that is why they are scheduling the publicly noticed joint workshops.
Dr. Raia said there are a minimal number of workshops scheduled.
Mr. Dallas disagreed and said there are two or three monthly and another at each stage.
Dr. Raia said ifthe joint workshops were that frequent he would throw out his comment regarding a
minimal number of workshops. He said to notice a meeting publicly, it must be done 48 hours prior to the meeting
and both sides would have to cooperate to ensure compliance.

Chairwoman Womble recognized Noreen Murray in the audience.
Ms. Murray, a Foundation Strategic Planning Committee member, said during the selection process that
resulted in Wilson Miller's hiring, Mr. Dallas attended all ofthe Strategic Planning Committee meetings because
they are open to the public. Chairwoman Womble is a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. She said she
did not find any reason why members ofthe Services Division Board cannot attend a puhlic meeting. She
recognized that only one Services Division member could speak publicly at the meeting per Sunshine law. She said
publicly noticed joint workshops will be scheduled often, but that Services Division members can always attend the
always public Strategic Planning Committee meetings and observe.
Mr. Dallas said he did not just want to observe. He wants to participate, hence the reason for a publicly
noticed joint workshop.
Mr. Cravens agreed that participation in the decision making process is key.
Chairwoman Womble agreed and happy this issue is out in the open. She deferred to Mr. Hoppenstead!.
Mr. Hoppensteadt said, "I don't want to be disingenuous and say that there couldn't possibly be a Strategic
Planning Committee meeting that Wilson Miller would not be there giving an update and answering questions. I
think we all agree that collaboratively any decisions made will be joint decisions at each phase in the workshop
process." He offered to provide the schedule to the Services Division staff to notice publicly all Strategic Planning
Committee meetings.
Dr. Raia said the project is huge and minor decisions made daily. Unless something significant occurs, a
cumulative report of ongoing project operations should be sufficient. There are many people involved if the cost
could double if everyone reports to everyone at all times. The Board should keep costs and spending in perspective.
The consultants and the Strategic Planning Committee should have the day-to-day responsibility of the operation. If
something comes up they are obligated to inform this Board, but otherwise this Board will receive a report three
times per month.
Mr. Dallas said he wants to participate at Strategic Planning meetings when Wilson Miller is presenting
options because wben the options are heard it is "the nature of the beast" to start sorting them out.
Chairwoman Womble said once the concept forms, joint workshops are not going to happen as often
because at that point, they will be focusing on details and Mr. Lukasz will be more involved then. She said, "Kyle is
going to be involved with this quite a bit, is that correct, Kyle?"
Mr. Lukasz said yes.

Chairwoman Womble said, "So we have our man on the floor watching out for things."
Mr. Gravenhorst referred back to page 8177 of the September 14, 2009 summary meeting minutes and a
motion made by Mr. Cravens to amend the language of the inter-local agreement on page three, No.8 to read, "The
term of this agreement is for one (1) year unless earlier terminated and it may be renewed upon the same terms. Said
renewal notice must be delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal expiration date. Written notice shall be
provided as follows..." He indicated "Said renewal notice must be delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to the
renewal expiration date" was stricken and asked for confrrrnation of the final language ofthe inter-local agreement.
Chairwoman Womble compared Mr. Cravens' motion to amend the language on page three, No.8 with the
final inter-local agreement.
Mr. Gravenhorst said the statement "Said renewal notice must be delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to
the renewal expiration date" was stricken. The Board did not approve it.
Mr. Dallas suggested that the Board vote to approve it.
Mr. Gravenhorst said, "I'm just saying if there was a problem down the road, the minutes show we
approved it one way and it was submitted another."
Mr. Cravens said that if everyone was pleased with the final version of the agreement then the Board
should approve it now and that would resolve this issue.
Mr. Dallas made a motion to approve the language of the inter-local agreement in its fmal form as
presented at the October 7, 2009 Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board Meeting.
Mr. Cravens seconded the motion.
There was no further discussion and the Board voted unanimously to approve the language of the inter-
local agreement in its fmal form as presented at the October 7,2009, Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board

DISCUSSION OF 9/29/09 BeC BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION & CARRY FORWARD
OF CLAM BAY FUND 320
Mr. Dorrill advised the Board of recent action by the Board of County Commissioners to amend their year-
end budgets. There was a legal notice published by the Naples Daily News that caused some public concern because
8206
Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board Regnlar Session Summary Minutes
October 7, 2009
16.
1 l\r3
the County's forecasted carty forward published in the paper was about three times the actual amount, which could
lead one to draw a whole series of incorrect conclusions. He said he met with County budget staff and they
disclosed a miscalculation in processing their year-end budget amendment for all funds. Apparently the County's
proprietary budgeting software has a "tairly-odd way of reflecting carty torward for multiyear capital improvement
projects," therefore the amount printed in the Naples Daily News as approximately $1.2 million actual carty forward
for the Clam Bay Restoration Fund 320 was incorrect. The actual cash on hand October I for the Clam Bay
Restoration Fund 320 was $381,487. The total amount available in the Clam Bay Restoration Fund 320 is equal to
the $381,487 carty forward, the fiscal year 2010 property assessment of$102,400 that will be transferred from the
County's General Fund III, and some minor interest earnings and is intended for use to evaluate the water
management berm for repairs and renovation, and associated engineering costs. Due to the County's inaccurate and
compounded calculation of capital carty forward of Clam Bay Restoration capital Fund 320 and capital fund 322
and the reported amount is substantially more than the actual amount, in addition to the public concern, it is
appropriate for this Board to direct the administrator to request from the Clerk's internal auditor, a reconciliation of
actual cash carty forward for capital funds 320 and 322 starting with the beginning and ending of each fiscal year.
He asked how far back in time did the Board want to request reports.
Dr. Raia asked how long the County has been using this software.
Mr. DoTTill answered from his understanding the County has been using this software since 2002.
Dr. Raia said, "And they just discovered that the carry forward is way off"
Mr. DoTTill said he did not know the answer to Dr. Raia's question.
Dr. Raia said, "This money is for maintenance of Clam Bay."
Mr. DoTTiIl said the funds are for restoration or other eligible work.
Dr. Raia asked how the Board could be sure that work they are requesting and authorizing funding for is
the work performed. "Now that we have two Clam Bay Advisory Boards, I just want to make sure that the money
collected from our residents is being used as these residents want their money used."
Mr. DoTTiIl explained Clam Bay Restoration Fund 320 is a County fund used only for projects decided by
the direction ofthis Board. The funds cannot comingle or be used for any other purpose unless there were to be a
loan booked and repaid with interest against any withdrawal other than for its intended purpose because collection
and the intention to expend the funds is within the geographical boundaries ofthis community. "You could not suck
that money out to meet some kind of cash flow need or send it to another County project without expecting it repaid

in full plus interest. That is something that they wouldn't do, but that is the only way they could, if they chose to do
so."
Dr. Raia confirmed with Mr. Dorrill that staff could use the Clam Bay Fund 320 monies only for operations
directed by this Board.
Mr. Dorrill confirmed and reiterated that because the legal notice run in the newspaper is untrue, it would
be appropriate for this Board to direct the Administrator to request from the Clerk's internal auditor, a reconciliation
ofthe actual beginning cash balances have been for the appropriate period determined by this Board.
Mr. Moffatt said, "This issue came to light because somebody read the newspaper and it didn't make sense.
If any Budget Committee members compared the amount published in the newspaper to the amount in Table A of
the budget, which is where the unspent funds move from one fund to capital this year, they would realize the
numbers do not add up. The County's software processes capital funds differently from operating funds. Funds 320
and 322 are capital funds. Capital funds carry forward; Operating funds do not carry forward. "If you just work off
the cash balance and the projection we made on the results of operations in funds, we can't spend any more than that
because that's the only cash that's available to spend. The amounts published in the paper were well in excess of
that."
Mr. Dorrill said the easiest way he could explain it is the County is double counting the carry forward. If a
project begins in one fiscal year and is to run for two years, the County's software treats encumbered and
unexpended funds and it compounds that when it carries forward to capital in the following fiscal year.
Mr. Cravens addressed Mr. Dorrill and said, "When you were talking about these funds you made some
mention of a dollar amount that was I think somewhere around $300,000 plus some additional monies to be used for
restoration of the berm and water management system." He asked Mr. Dorrill to confirm.
Mr. Dorrill answered, "That is the basis of this year's Clam Bay Restoration Fund and the money that is
there is intended to be used for an evaluation for rehabilitation of the water management berm."
Mr. Cravens asked ifthere was any indication as to why the berm needs rehabilitation and do any problems
currently exist that necessitates spending these funds.
Mr. Dorrill answered that from his understanding, the reasons predate both he and Mr. Cravens' affiliation
with the Services Division. He said that it is part of the anticipated master planning work and there are some issues
with the side slopes of the berm in certain locations. There is a desire on the part of the the strategic master planning
8208
Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board Regnlar Session Summary Minntes
October 7, 2009
161
1 trl3
to at least evaluate the engineering aspects of trying to widen the berm to be able to incorporate an additional lane
for pedestrian or bicycle traffic in addition to the tram lane.
Mr. Levy said when developing the budget, the Board learned the south section of the berm from the
Commons all the way to the south end of the property was deteriorating and uneven with ruts and bumps. The
amount budgeted is $350,000 plus an additional $25,000 for an engineering consultant. He added the money is
entirely for rehabilitation and restoration of that side of the berm and has nothing to do with widening or angles.
Mr. Dorrill said that is correct. The primary purpose is to evaluate the integrity of the side slopes and any
settling that has occurred within the existing tramway. There is a separate issue and part of the master plan to
evaluate the potential for widening the berm.
Mr. Cravens understood the same as Mr. Levy. The berm is deteriorating on the south side. He said that
although he is not an engineer, he does walk the entire berm daily and cannot see any difference in the conditions
that exist between the south side and the north side. He said he also asked the tram drivers He said he was concerned
that money was set aside to rehabilitate something that he did not feel needed rehabilitating.
Mr. Lukasz said there was money set aside in the budget for an engineering fIrm to evaluate the integrity of
the berm. There is some settling that you can notice next to the culvert pipes across from the weir structure.
Mr. Cravens said there are cracks in the weir structures all along the berm, not just on the south side.
Mr. Lukasz said settling is more pronounced on the south side of the berm, but the very ftrst thing would be
to have an engineer evaluate it.
Chairwoman Womble said, "I believe what you just said, the ftrstthing to be done. I think we were
thinking in terms ofthe future and where do we start and we will continue this as we have the funds for it in order to
bring it up to speed because it is showing wear and tear."
Mr. Dorrill said there are three local approved ColJier County contracted civil engineering ftrms to choose
from (Wilson Miller, Johnson Engineering, and Agnoli Barber & Brundage) to perform an assessment. The
engineers may examine the pavement and take core samples, especially at the culvert crossings and look for
degradation of the base or sub-base, which is probably made of lime rock, to determine what may need repairing or
replacing and the Board will see this engineering analysis before any money is spent.
Mr. Moffutt said to Mr. Cravens that ifhe rode the tram from the south end of the berm to the north end, he
would notice a difference "bouncing around" on the south side especially near the culverts or weirs.
Chairwoman Womble agreed.

Mr. Cravens said he asked the tram drivers for their observations rather than ride the tram himself and from
what he understands, the tram drivers he asked did not feel there were significant problems, "but again, they are not
engineers either."
Mr. Moffatt asked Mr. Dorrill if a motion would be helpful for him in dealing with the County to do away
with the carry forward that is "a lot misleading"
Mr. Dorrill said he met with the County yesterday and they are going to amend their year-end amendment
to reflect what the actual carry forward is as opposed to the compounding issue he previously mentioned. He said
that a motion by the Board directing the administrator request from the Clerk's internal auditor, a reconciliation of
beginning and ending actual cash balances for capital funds 320 and 322 for the period the Board considers
appropriate.
Mr. Moffatt made a motion to direct the administrator to request from the Clerk's internal auditor, a
reconciliation of beginning and ending actual cash balances for capital funds 320 and 322 cash balances going back
to the dates of inception.
Mr. Cravens seconded the motion.
Mr. Levy asked what records are useful for comparison.
Mr. Dorrill said the Clerk of Courts accounting system is the accurate record for comparison.
Mr. Cravens asked Mr. Dorrill if this compounding of carry forward is isolated to the Services Division or
is it Countywide.
Mr. Dorrill said the Budget Director, John Y onkosky has been out for an extended period due to health
issues and there are a number of people who have been performing tasks tbey do not normally do. He believes the
error is an oversight by a budget analyst preparing the amendment and does not believe it to be a conspiracy. If it is
determined there is a bigger problem, he would report it back to this Board.
1bere was no further discussion and the Board voted on the motion, which carried unanimously.
Mr. Moffatt made a motion to direct the administrator to request from the Clerk's internal auditor. a
reconciliation of beginning and ending actoal cash balances for capital funds 320 and 322 going back to the
dJltes of inception. Mr. Cravens seconded the nwtion. The Board voted unanimously to direct the

BLUE SKY WATER MANAGEMENT VIDEO UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill advised the Board that he expects Blue Sky to finish the water management video before the
end of October. He reiterated that he was withholding a final payment until the Services Division receives the final
version of the educational video. He added for the benefit of Ms. Kobe that this Board retained the services of a
professional video company to produce an educational video for this community pertaining to the innovative storm
water management and drainage system in Pelican Bay, as well as the environmental amenities it provides for the
adjacent mangrove conservation area. The Services Division received a draft of the video, made some suggestions
and is awaiting the final version before providing payment.
Dr. Raia asked if the Board would have a chance to see the video before accepted as complete.
Mr. Dorrill said, "As a rule, no. To a certain extent, staff has staff work to do. If we get to where we are
trying to manage the community by a committee of eleven people in order to determine what work is final is not
something that you would normally do. Normally you would expect your administrator to evaluate a project in
conformance to a proposal or contract. I certainly intend to share it with you, but I don't know that I can ever get to
the point where all eleven of you might think that it is complete."
Mr. Dallas said Mr. Dorrill invited the Board to view the draft video several times.
Dr. Raia said he wants to watch the video and given the opportunity to provide input because he fmds the
subject of water very interesting and concerning.
Mr. Dorrill said that Dr. Raia and all Board members, as well as the public are welcome to watch the
master draft video at the office at their leisure. He added that in his opinion, 95% ofthe video is well done. One
suggestion made was to strike some "odd-cartoonish type" characteristics. There were a number of references made
on the subject of the water management berm, but not much footage of it. There was a lot of footage of interviews
with the golf superintendent and staff made suggestions to take out some of his redundant comments and replace
them with shots of the actual berm and its actual drainage features as opposed to the interview.
Dr. Raia said, "The ten year permit that we had was inundated with water management problems. There is
too mnch fresh water entering Clam Bay and that is the problem. The reason to open up Clam Pass is to get that
fresh water out, but if we were not putting too much water in there then there would not be a problem to begin with.
I am curious to see the approach because we built a water management system for $1.2 - $3 million and spend
$800,000 a year to maintain it. I'm just curious since the first day of construction in 1980 or so, have we ignored
8211

l-A13
our own water management plan and forbid more water to be discharged into Clam Bay." He asked if that is what
the subject ofthe video.
Mr. Dorrill answered no and, "I don't know if! share your observations. My understanding of what
contributed to the original mangrove die-off was the need to improve upon the spreader swale system and to
increase the flow of salt water into some of the mangrove areas to improve upon the mix. I don't know that we are
dumping more storm water into the system than what was there in pre-development, but those decisions were made
outside of any influences in this community; they were made by the South Florida Water Management District."
Dr. Raia said, "It is my understanding and if you read the permit that the main problem has been directed
toward too much fresh water entering Clam Bay."
Mr. Cravens added, "Being impounded also once it enters."
Dr. Raia agreed with Mr. Cravens and said, "Is the correct amount going in there and we are not letting it
out, or is there too much water going in there."
Mr. Dorrill explained the video. It shows how the original design elements of the community and the storm
water management system functions, both from a commercial right-of-way perspective and a residential perspective.
It also explains how the collection and interconnection ofthe lake system functions as the water works its way down
to the control elevation point and the spreader swale system that distributes the water uniformly over the
conservation areas.
Dr. Raia said it was an excellent idea because every year it is such a large budget item and people should
know where their money is going.
Mr. Cravens said he was concerned that this video produced by Blue Sky Media was not something that
this Board voted
Chairwoman Womble stepped in and said, "Tom, we have already discussed this and it's already a done
deal. Let us not go over it again. You were not on the Board when this happened; it was at the end of a meeting. We
looked it up in the minutes."
Mr. Cravens said it was not. "I asked Mary to do the research on this and this Board did not vote on the
expenditures ofthis money. This was $65,000. Secondly, I have another issue. How much money can we spend
and I'm not saying we spent it, without going through a bidding process in Collier County."

Chairwoman Womble said, "Tom, this is already a done deal. At the last meeting, Mr. Dorrill indicated that
would not be how he handles things. I do not think we have to worry about that. He's made it very clear that would
not be his way of entertaining our educational budget and it would be brought for a vote before our Board."
Mr. Dorrill agreed with Chairwoman Womble.
Chairwoman Womble added, "The whole thing rests on the way it was handled by a number of people on
this Board, different people, and the Administrator at that time. That is what occurred and I do not believe we need
to concern ourselves at this point because our new Administrator has assured us that is not how he handles things.
From what I understand from people at Pelican Marsh and Lely, it's not, so I'm not worried about it."
Mr. Moffatt said there are no funds in the 20 I 0 budget for a similar project.
Mr. Dallas said there were funds in the 2009 budget to use for that project that this board approved.
Chairwoman Womble agreed with Mr. Dallas said this Board approved the budget and this Board chose to
go ahead with the project.
Mr. Cravens said, "But there was no line item in the budget for this project.
Chairwoman Womble and Mr. Dallas both said it was in the 2009 budget.
Mr. Cravens said he looked in the 2009 budget and could not find a line item for a video.
Mr. Dorrill said, "That's a good question. The video fund is allocated to educational material through
Turrell, Hall and Associates, your environmental consultant, and the annual contract was bid competitively. The
video company is a vendor to your environmental consultant, Turrell, Hall & Associates. There was no formal vote
or complete presentation to this Board as to what the educational materials would cost." He assured the Board, "that
mistake will not be made" by him.
Mr. Dallas said that the Board did not include educational material in the 2010.
Mr. Gibson asked where one could watch the video.
Mr. Dorrill said that the video is available to view at the office in the conference room. The former district
administrator's office was now a conference room with a television and DVD player. He added that due to Sunshin~
Law, Board members should call staff ahead of time to make an appointment to view it so the schedule doesn't'
overlap with any other Board member. He repeated the public is also welcome.
Mr. Levy asked how long the video is.
Mr. Dorrill said it is thirty minutes. He reminded the Board that the video is a draft and he expects the final
version by the end of October.

MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill distributed the County's year-end preliminary budget report of revenues and expenditures. He
said it is preliminary because the County bas not closed out tbe previous fiscal year. For the most part, the
information is good for comparing tbe budget with actual revenues and expenditures and provides a base. The
report on capital funds 320 and 322 is erroneous, as be stated in bis earlier report that the County's software
compounded tbe carry forward and the reported numbers are approximately three times bigher than actual casb
available. He added be would work with County and staff to process the necessary budget amendment.
Mr. Moffatt said based on Mr. Dorrill's discussion earlier regarding the County's budgeting software and
calculation of carry forward, page 8 sbows numbers "way out of wback" and amounts mucb bigher than the actual.
The annual budget column is really the amended budget column. It is not the Services Division's submitted budget;
it is the Services Division's submitted budget in addition to tbe County's roll. The first item, "engineering fees" are
budgeted to be $354,000 and the actual amount spent is $81,000 and $81,000 is mucb more accurate. Otber
contractual at tbe bottom oftbe page displays over $250,000 and is mucb higher than the actual expenditures of
approximately $35,000.
Mr. Levy said the actual amount or expenditures column is a more accurate number.
Mr. Moffutt said yes, the actual amount or expenditures column altbougb preliminary, more accurately
reflect wbat the Services Division has spent.
The Administrator's report concluded.

CAPITAL PROJECTS
CROSSWALK AND INTERSECTIONS THERMOPLASTIC RESTRIPING UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill said the thermoplastic restriping project did begin in accordance with the original schedule. The
contractors began work on the residential areas instead of the arterials and the County's Transportation deparbnent
pulled the contractor from the job before beginning work on the arterial roads. He reported that the contractors are
to return and complete the work by October 15, "but that remains to be seen."
Chairwoman Womble said, "They initially told us the end of September."
Mr. Dorrill said yes, and apparently, the contractors missed some work in the residential areas when the
County pulled the contractors temporarily from the job. They are expected back to complete the restriping by next
week. He repeated the completion deadline is arbitrary.
Mr. Cravens asked if the County pulled the contractors because another project took priority.
Mr. Dorrill said apparently so and he does know they are the same contractors working on the 1-75 project.
Mr. Levy asked if the restriping areas included painted arrows indicating to go left, straight or right.
Mr. Lukasz said restriping of left and right turn, and straight-ahead arrows are included in the project.
Mr. Moffutt asked where the contractors performed the work. He drove around the community, but did not
see any newly striped areas.
Mr. Lukasz said thermoplastic restriping of stop bars is almost complete along most areas ofOakmont
Parkway and Ridgewood single-family home areas and cul-de-sacs streets.
Chairwoman Womble said they have started restriping on Buttonbush and Ridgewood north of Pelican Bay
Boulevard.
Mr. Moffutt said they have not restriped at the stop sign at Ridgewood.
Mr. Lukasz said they have not restriped the intersection along Pelican Bay Boulevard and Ridgewood.

Mr. Gravenhorst addressed Mr. Lukasz. He said, "Assuming they come back," when did he estimate the
work to be complete.
Mr. Lukasz said the contractors work very quickly and it should only take a few days to finish what they
have left. They conveyed work on crosswalks, stop bars, and intersections would be complete by October 15, but
not necessarily the lane dividers.
LAKE BANK ENHANCEMENTS
Mr. Lukasz reported $250,000 has been budgeted for lake bank enhancements over the past two fiscal years
for a total of$500,000. A good portion of Fiscal Year 2010 funds for lake bank enhancements came from the
hardscape program. The contract is in place to install geo-textile tubing for lake bank enhancements. St. Maartin
Lake was done and prior some "riff raft" work was done on several other lakes and the lake at Myra Janco Daniels.
There is approximately $80,000 in the fiscal year 20 I 0 budget to do additional lake bank enhancements.
Mr. Levy asked if the money was available in the budget.
Mr. Lukasz said yes.
Mr. Durrill explained the scope of the lake bank enhancement project. He described the geo-textile
material like an "inverted sock." Sediment material is dredged and pumped down the "sock." The sediment remains
and the water flows through the side of the membrane. The process gives the lake bank a different look over time
and the Floratam sod grows to what appears to be the lake's edge and at the rounded portion it will drop off. There
will no longer be a long gradual slope or the type of erosion that occurs from it. He asked Mr. Lukasz where lake
bank enhancements were complete in the community.
Mr. Lukasz said from the tram road on the east side of the lake at St. Maartin, the lake bank has just been
completed and there is a geo-textile tube that is laid out along the lake at either a 12 & II, foot or 7 & II, foot
circumference based on how much erosion there is. They pump from the lake into the geo-textile tube and sediment
is dredged through the tube and water flows through the membrane. As that tube fills up, they put another tube on
top called the backfill tube. The water flows out. That tube is of a cheaper material and is used to get the sludge up
ontu the top. When the water is gone, they slice that tube open and use the sediment to grade out over the base tube
and then they lay Floratam sod down on top.

COMMUNITY ISSUES
Chairwoman Womble said a manatee was stranded at Clam Pass on October 5. She said the interesting part
of the story is people came to the manatee's rescue for hours until it was finally free. She publicly thanked everyone
who helped the manatee survive and get free.
Mr. Cravens presented a short video of the manatee with his narration. He explained that the manatee was
beached on October 5. On October 4, a full moon historically results in a very high and low tide. He did not know
for sure if that was a factor, but it was a very low tide. He said from his understanding the manatee was discovered
at about 6:30 AM while it was still dark, sunrise was 7:21 AM, but there was a lot of moonlight. Many people came
out with buckets and attempted various ways to keep the manatee wet, including covering it with wet towels until
told not a good approach. The towels were removed and continued to dump water over top of the manatee. A boat
came down from Mike Bauer, Director of Natural Resources, City of Naples, but his boat was unable to enter Clam
Pass. It was too shallow at low tide, but one can get a good idea of how shallow it is by looking at the people
standing in the water. He said there were many people who helped and described two Foundation employees on the
left, a beach attendant, on the right is Frank the security officer who was alerted to the stranded manatee at 7 AM.
Frank called 911 although Mr. Cravens said he was not sure that was helpful or not. Umbrellas were used to shade
the manatee. Pedro Pineiro, the Services Division's Field Supervisor was out there working hard to ensure the
manatee did not dry out. The volunteers tried to dig a canal but it was hard with the water coming in. The manatee
was freed at about 9:46 AM, a little over three hours. Kay Potter was there. Ms. Potter is preparing an article for the
Pelican Bay Post. He said the manatee was in good shape physically with the exception of some minor old
propeller scars and some barnacles on its body. It was approximately 10 - 12 feet long and 900 - 1100 pounds. He
added that manatees are an endangered species and it is common to see them in Clam Bay.
Applause followed Mr. Cravens' presentation.
COMMITI'EE REPORT AND/OR REOUESTS
Chairwoman Womble asked the Board if there were any Committee Reports and/or Requests and there
were none.
OLD BUSINESS
DISCUSSION OF FLORIDA SUNSHINE LAWS & CODE OF ETHICS
Mr. Don-ill provided an update of convening board meetings, what constitutes a quorum and participation
by telephone. There is a Florida Attorney General Opinion stating in order to convene a meeting of any board, a
8217

physical majority of the members must be present at the meeting. Members are eligible to participate by phone but
only if there is a finding by those physically present that an extraordinary occurrence by vote that it is necessary and
essential for the member participating by phone allowed vote privilege. In the absence of that finding, the member
may participate by phone, but they are not eligible to have their vote recorded. In summary, those members on
vacation or out of town for extended periods, unless there is an extraordinary occurrence and necessity to vote and
that reason is determined by the physical majority present, the member can participate by phone and express
themselves, but a vote cannot be recorded.
Mr. Moffatt referred to the the County Attorney's opinion of June 27, 2008 that states absent board member
participation by telephone is permissible under an extraordinary circumstance, sucb as illness. Further, an out of
state vacation is not an extraordinary circumstance however this determination is one that may be made by the board
using their good judgment. Mr. Moffatt suggested that based on the nature of the community and it is common for
members to be up north during the summertime for several months (not a "one-shot" vacation) that the good
judgment of this Board could decide that to be an extraordinary circumstance. Losing good member input because a
member is not physically present is limiting and therefore participation by telephone should be allowable.
Mr. Durrill said the extraordinary circumstance determination is decided when a meeting convenes.
Mr. Gravenhorst asked if a motion could be made to establish a policy that is applicable at all meetings.
Mr. Dorrill said based on his understanding, no. As part of the approval of the agenda and roll call, the
Board members physically present would by motion, second, and vote to determine whether the Board member(s)
participating by phone will be eligible to vote.
Mr. Dallas explained he attended the County Attorney's presentation and from what he understood,
participating by phone with voting privileges is an exception to the rule. "I think if we are trying to do this
blanketed, we are treading on very thin ice."
Mr. Cravens asked if an important issue must be under consideration by the Board in order for this process
to be applicable.
Mr. Dorrill said the Board members present must make that determination at the beginning of the meeting.
The Attorney General Opinions are just that, opinions and are not legally binding, but he did agree with Mr. Dallas
to proceed with caution on a case-by-case basis. "The last thing I want you to do is to read your name in the local
section olthe Naples Daily News as suddenly the suspects in an ethics investigation."

Mr. Cravens said the Board of County Commissioners do aJ low participation by phone, so why not look to
them as setting precedence.
Mr. Dorrill said the issue might be as simple as how the vote is recorded. If an issue is voted affinnatively
by all members present and voted affirmative by 2 members participating by phone, then it is just a matter of how
that is recorded.
Mr. Dallas said he encourages phone participation and the issue is really what is official and what is not.
Mr. Dorrill agreed and there was no further discussion.
NEW BUSINESS
ROLES AND RESPONSffilLlTlES OF BOARD MEMBERS AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
RESIDENTS OF PELICAN BAY
Dr. Raia requested this item on the agenda because, "Being directed by the County to do certain things, I
think it is very important that we exercise our responsibility to advise the Board of County Commissioners of the
issues that concern us. I hope that we influence the course of actioo they take, but regardlcss, I think it is important
that they know what our concerns are and position is 00 issues. Failure to do that could reflect that we do not care
about our community, we do oot care about what is happening and we are free to do what we want, so I just want us
to recognize that we do have a responsibility to those who elected us."
Chairwoman Womble said, "You do realize that is taken care of. They are advised as to our concerns."
Dr. Raia answered, "Well, I hope so, but I have some detail I would like to go into. I am not comfortable in
knowing they do receive that and I do not know if that is on the agenda for me to go into that now.
Chairwoman Womble advised Dr. Raia to proceed because this item was his request.
Dr. Raia introduced, "information I feel should be before the Coastal Advisory Committee and the Board of
County Commissioners and my reason for presenting this is to have the Board listen to me. Then I would like to ask
that the Board votes for authorizing a member of this Board present this to the Coastal Advisory Committee and to
the Board of County Commissioners, so I will proceed with this and then you weigh what I say and make your
decision afterwards, but I think it is important to bring this up. Mr. Gary McAlpin is the staff advisor to the Board of
County Commissioners on coastal affairs. He does not share it, but he is kind of the advisor to the Coastal Advisory
Committee and Mr. McAlpin claims that the Army Corp. of Eugineers requires lateral navigational signs. We cannot
ignore something that is happening in our backyard in the mangrove conservation area that could deteriorate and
devalue our property, so this is an important issue. Mr. McAlpin claims the Army Corp. of Engineers requires
8219
Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board Regular Session Summary Minutes
October 7, 2009
161
l~l?
lateral navigational signs. Fact, the Army Corp of Engineers does not require lateral navigational signs; however the
Corp. does permit them if requested. Mr. McAlpin claims the U.s. Coast Guard requires lateral navigational signs.
Fact, the U.S. Coast Guard does not require any navigational signs, but they do require that navigational signs
comply with their standards as to design, type, placement, and maintenance. The Coast Guard will also hold the
County responsible for any claim that may result from the alleged negligence of the maintenance or operation of
these approved aids. Mr. McAlpin claims that the Pelican Bay Services Division or the County did request in their
permit to install the lateral navigational signs. At least that is his interpretation of the permit and this is where the
problem lies. The problem is Mr. McAlpin and the County claim that we put in the permit to install lateral
navigational signs. The minutes of the Pelican Bay Services Division meetings developing the permit only describe
non-lateral signs and ways to limit navigation, not increase it. The permit only lists the non-lateral signs and stresses
that there will be no change in the use of the Pass. The sentence on the bottom of page 38 of the permit, and I quote,
'finally the main channel will be marked in accordance with requirements imposed by the United States Coast Guard
to ensure that those who use this system clearly know where the channel is and the prohibition against operating the
watercraft outside of same.' The County is interpreting that sentence to mean that we have to install lateral
navigational signs. Why they are insisting this, I do not know. There are many reasons why they have teamed up
with the City of Naples and Seagate, but that will not be part of this discussion. Let me point out that only
regulatory signs will do that and or the black and white stripe buoys. The non-lateral signs that are requested in the
permit satisty all of the requirements of the permit, including the safety ofall users and protect the conservation
areas. Only the non-lateral signs will accomplish what they want to accomplish and that is to keep people in a
channel. Channel markers are not obligatory, they just point out where safe passage is. You can see how safe that
passage is when you look at that poor manatee that was stranded on the sandbar and even a flats boat could not get
in there. It is important to understand that we want to demonstrate that this is not the place to put lateral navigational
signs. I have presented to the Board excerpts from aU of the minutes I reviewed. One after another, they go into
detail of expressing the point that you just need the non-lateral signs. Commissioner Hancock who was the
Commissioner at the time did attend many of the Services Division meetings." Dr. Raia read and reported the July,
1998 Services Division meeting minutes. Commissioner Tim Hancock stated that the County is under no obligation
to keep Clam Pass open because it is not navigable, however tax dollars were allocated for its maintenance and it
was his goal to keep Clam Pass under the County's purview because once the Pass was closed it was no longer
viable. The consultant at the time, Ted Brown said the signs described as required in the permit are the signs the
8220

October 7, 2009
161
1 .f\ I?
regulatory agencies expect. Mr. Brown also pointed out that the permit is a Collier County pennit therefore the
County is responsible for posting the signs and Sheriff for enforcing policy. There is no mention ofIateral
navigational signs, channel markers have to meet Coast Guard standards and clearly mark the channel. The intent
was to maintain the status quo, nol disrupt the estuary and not encourage navigational use. Dr. Raia said the
Services DivisiOn/Collier County did meet the permit requirements however the County insists they are indeed
noncompliant and therefore, must install lateral navigational signs at the entrance to Clam Pass. Dr. Raia contacted
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) because the nautical charts read the Pass is non-
navigable, hence the dilemma. He asked NOAA how it was possible to place lateral navigational signs at the
entrance of a Pass that is non-navigable. Dr. Raia said this information was not provided to the people responsible
for making the decisions, i.e., Board of County Commissioners and the decision was already made.
Mr. Cravens asked Dr. Raia if the current canoe trail marking signs in Clam Bay met the permit
requirements.
Dr. Raia said yes, but regardless of what signs have been installed, the County feels duty-hound to install
lateral navigational signs.
Mr. Cravens said from his understanding this Board directed Mr. Tim Hall to replace the missing canoe
marker signs in Clam Bay.
Mr. Hall said yes. The Services Division Board did direct his fIrm to install the missing canoe marker signs
in Clam Bay. The project did not happen. Following protocol, Mr. Hall notifIed the the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FFWCC) that the missing canoe markers would be installed, Tara Alford of the FFWCC
notifIed Collier County Coastal Zone Management and asked if they were aware of the Services Division's project.
Coastal Zoning responded that they did not want the signs to be installed at that time.
Mr. Cravens confIrmed understanding ofMr. Hall's statement and said, "So what you are saying is, action
by the Coastal Zone Management was designed to prevent the Services Division's compliance with the permit."
Mr. Hall said that he received an email from Coastal Zone Management that conveyed they did not want
the signs installed at that time.
Dr. Raia said it was possible that the canoe marker signs may be viewed as an obstruction to passage.
Chairwoman Womble said the Board of County Commissioners may be introdUCing a new policy to
reconsider items they have already voted on October 13, 2009 and suggested waiting for the outcome and act
accordingly.

Dr. Raia said he would like assurance the BCC has accurate information because at the time they voted,
they were told lateral navigational aids are an Army Corp. of Engineers permit requirement and they were non-
compliant. The next day he received an email from the Army Corp. of Engineers stating lateral navigational aids are
not a permit requirement and it was too late to bring to the Board of County Commissioner's attention. He said he
believes the Foundation did forward the information to the BCe.
Mr. Dallas asked if the Foundation was involved currently.
Mr. Hoppensteadt said the Foundation's issue involves proprietary rights and the prevailing covenants of
that area when ownership from Coral Ridge Properties was transferred to the Foundation.
Dr. Raia said that contradicts what the County Attorney has said regarding the property. He said the State
owns the property and Westinghouse has no right to covenant submerged lands.
Mr. Hoppensteadt said the other precedent is the County accepted the land as part of a contractual
agreement with the Grantor, so even if they own the land, they still have a contractual obligation to comply.
Dr. Raia said Mr. Hoppensteadt is talking law and he wants to argue the law, but that will cost money. He
wants to be sure that when the BCC makes a decision that they have the facts. It would cost less if they can
influence the law at the level of the County Commissioners. Dr. Raia said he wants to present the facts to the
Coastal Advisory Committee and asked Mr. Jim Burke if they have received information about permit requirements
and compliance.
Mr. Burke confrrmed.
Dr. Raia said the purpose of Pelican Bay advisory boards and subcommittees was to represent the residents
of Pelican Bay and he believes the Clam Bay Advisory Committee members do not adequately represent the
residents of Pelican Bay. He added he does not know what they do represent, what their intentions are, or if they
have their own agendas. He reasoned that because no other Pelican Bay community advisory committee is looking
out for residents' best interests, that he should be the representative ofthe Services Division that attends the BCC
meeting of 10/]3/09 to state the Services Division's position regarding permit requirements and installation of
channel markers.
Chairwoman Womble asked Dr. Raia ifhe had contacted the Clam Bay Subcommittee or any other group
to request a presentation of this information.
Dr. Raia said that he wants to go to the next BCC meeting to sigu up as a public speaker. He said three
minutes will be long enough for him to "get the gist across" that the Services Division is in full compliance with the
8222

permit and the County is using their belief that the Services Division is non compliant as a tool, so they can install
lateral navigational markers in Clam Bay.
Mr. Moffatt said the Clam Bay Subcommittee is meeting in Special Session tomorrow, Thursday, October
8 at 9:30 a.m. at the County Building Room 30 I.
Dr. Raia said he wants to attend the Coastal Advisory Committee meeting, also Thursday, October 8 at I
p.m. and then bring before the BCC at their Tuesday, October 13 meeting.
Mr. Moffatt said Dr. Raia's information is not new information.
Dr. Raia said the Coastal Advisory Committee did not provide this information, so he wants to provide
them the facts, so they have an opportunity to respond.
Chairwoman Womble encouraged Dr. Raia to provide his report to the Coastal Advisory Committee, but
suggested delay commenting to the Commissioners until they determine their policy for reconsideration.
Dr. Raia recalled BCC meeting discussion and vote of2-2 regarding a Cap Antibes issue. The County
Attorney ruled that because there was no voting majority, the issue could never be brought forward for
reconsideration. This vote was 4-1, so it is an uphill battle. He said he wants to ensure the BCC has this
information prior to reconsidering.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOARD MEMBERS AS ADVISORS TO THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Chairwoman Womble suggested that Dr. Raia provide his research and fmdings to the Coastal Advisory
Committee, as an individual Pelican Bay resident and property owner, not as a representative of the Pelican Bay
Services Division.
Mr. Moffutt said to Dr. Raia that he should follow the chain of command and start by providing
information to the Clam Bay Advisory Committee (CBAC) because they operate under the Coastal Advisory
Committee (CAC) who would be second and then third, the County Commissioners.
Dr. Raia said he wants to present his information to the Committees and Boards as a representative of the
Pelican Bay Services Division and the Pelican Bay community, not as an individual. He requested a resolution of
the Board.
Mr. Gravenhorst said that a resolution that it is unanimous by this Board would strengthen the cause.
Chairwoman Womble asked Mr. Dornll his thoughts.

Mr. Dorrill said the Board of County Commissioners created the Clam Bay Committee to handle Clam Bay
issues, therefore, "we can huff and puff and blow their house down" but that decision was political and this Board
should discontinue involving itself in issues that are no longer under its jurisdiction. Expressing views as an
individual citizen is the best course of action.
Chairwoman Womble agreed and said she would back Dr. Raia as an individual.
Dr. Raia said time is ofthe essence and he asked for this Board's consensus.
Chairwoman Womble told Dr. Raia that he has done the research and his concern is well found, but
politically it is a better idea to go as an individual resident and property owner of Pelican Bay because the Pelican
Bay Services Division is not an advisory board to Clam Bay anymore. She again suggested waiting until the
Commissioners determine their policy for reconsideration to give them a chance to regroup
Dr. Raia said he does not feel the Collier County Commissioners represent the residents of Pelican Bay
very well. He added another problem is Pelican Bay's reputation. He recalled Commissioner Tim Hancock's
comment at a Services Division many years before. He said because of Pelican Bay 's reputation as being a wealthy
community and contentious, the County Commission was never going to provide support and that Pelican Bay
should become resigned to take care of Clam Bay themselves. He said that Mr. Burke would not give him a straight
answer.
From the audience, Mr. Burke said the information is out there. This issue has been hashed out many
times, Dr. Raia and others have said the same thing many times, and he invited Dr. Raia to come to the Coastal
Advisory Committee meeting tomorrow (10/8109) at I pm.
Dr. Raia said thank you.
Mr. Dallas said to Dr. Raia that he agrees with what he is trying to do as an individual and encourages him
to act individually. He added it is not a good idea for this Board to act officially on Clam Bay. The County said this
Board is no longer responsible for Clam Bay and to do the opposite would most likely antagonize people and give
this Board less input further down the road on another issue.
Chairwoman Womble agreed and reiterated her support to Dr. Raia as an individual resident.
Dr. Raia said he was fulfilling his role doing his job as an advisory board member to the Board of County
Commissioners. He added that he does not understand and cannot accept this Board's inaction due to fear of stirring
up trouble in the future.

ROLES AND RESPONSffilLITIES OF RESIDENTS. PROPERTY OWNERS. & INTERESTED
PARTIES
Mr. Moffatt said he is very concerned that in the near future the Services Division will lose all control over
Clam Bay and the mangroves forever. The Clam Bay Advisory Committee is developing a Clam Bay management
plan that includes the mangroves. They will most likely recommend someone or some entity to manage that
management plan. He added he has not heard that the Services Division is in good "stead" with the Commission and
somehow this Board needs to change its perceived image with the County. He said he read an email, but did not
disclose the sender, only that the sender is female. The email chastises the County for doing berm repairs "without
our knowledge" and goes on to castigate Gary McAlpin. From the very fIrst sentence it shows that she does not
understand the issue, yet goes on to offend additional County employees. It does not make sense. It is one thing to
go about advising in a positive manner, but "if we're going to take shots at them, we're going to kiss that baby
goodbye. Or the berm won't exist."
Chairwoman Womble said she agreed saw it happen several times. The Services Division had the support
of Commissioner Halas and Mr. Mudd to install the non-lateral channel markers, but that changed due to criticism of
the Board face to face and behind their hack.
Mr. Moffiltt said the problem is also that people do not clearly identifY themselves as representing
themselves as individuals. He said he could not recall what the issue was, he attended a Clam Bay Advisory
Committee meeting and someone from Seagate asked why the Services Division opposes an issue. Mr. Moffatt
volunteered that the Services Division has not expressed an opinion on the issue and that they were interpreting the
statements made by individuals as representing the Services Division and Clam Bay in total. "That's going to kill us.
We have tu stop making inflammatory statements and start dealing responsibly. To the extent that we are dealing
with a Services Division issue, let us deal with the Services Division staff fIrst before we go out ofthe room and
agitate others at the County level. If Mary, Kyle and Neil cannot be helpful lets fIgure out a strategy to get the
information we are looking for without making everyone think we are crazy up here. It must be something in the
water. Clam Bay is only 95% within Pelican Bay. Another 5% needs consideration. We have to start acting much
differently than we have in the past. I'm concerned that it is slipping away at a gallop's pace."
Chairwoman Womble agreed.
Dr. Raia said, "Perhaps I know too much history." The troubles with Seagate and the County started with
sea grass. He feels they both tried to discredit the Services Division by saying, "you saved the mangroves, but you

killed the sea grass." The County brought in an independent consultant that refuted their accusations. He asked Mr.
Moffatt why the County insists on installing lateral navigational signs.
Mr. Moffatt said be has no idea, but it was after Dr. Raia sent a letter to the Army Corp of Engineers. He
emphasized the letter was a positive one, but that is irrelevant because they have been talking for an hour about
something this Board has no control or jurisdiction. What is not out ofthis Board's control is development of the
management plan going forward and that should be the focus. He said they may have lost with the lateral
navigational sign issue, but maybe the Foundation will be successful with their attorneys. The Services Division
needs to look at the big picture.
Chairwoman Womble said to Dr. Raia that she understands this is a passionate issue, but he has done the
research, can answer any questions, and suggested and encouraged him to present it to the BCC before their
meeting, as well as to the Coastal Advisory Committee meeting. She reiterated the Commissioners asked the
Services Division to step aside and created an additional advisory board to deal with Clam Bay and ended the
discussion.
MISCELLANEOUS CORRESPONDENCE
TURRELL. HALL & ASSOCIATES' SUBCONTRACT UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill reported the Turrell, Hall & Associates was not selected by the County as an annual contractor
for environmental services, however they are an approved sub-consultant through Humiston and Moore Engineers
which is a County approved annual environmental consulting fIrm. He contacted Ken Humiston and informed him
the Services Division would continue to subcontract Turrell, Hall & Associates through Humiston and Moore. He
also requested Humiston and Moore waive any additional overhead and profIt and Mr. Humiston did agree.
ONGOING PROJECTS STATUS SHEET
Mr. Dorrill said that he would update the ongoing projects status sheet as directed by the Board and request
from the Clerk's internal auditor, a reconciliation report of Capital Funds 320 & 322 going back to the dates of
inception provide the update report at the November 4, 2009 meeting.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mrs. Marcia Cravens was the frrst public speaker and identified herself as President of the Mangrove
Action Group. She expressed her disappointment that the Services Division Board did not provide official support
to Dr. Raia. On behalf of the Mangrove Action Group, she expressed support for what Dr. Raia is trying to
accomplish absolutely, as well as how he described the Board's role as being representative, and the statements
8226

within the MSTBU that this Board is responsible for maintenance ofthe conservation area. She added she is
hopeful this Board understands that is part of their responsibility and why the Board exists. She asked if the internal
audit of capital funds would include revenue and expenses and requested a clarification.
Mr. Dorrill answered the Board directed the administrator verifY with the Clerk's internal auditor the
beginning and ending cash balance for all years going back to each capital funds' inception. If the findings show a
discrepancy and determine the fund not spent properly, then the Board could direct him to request a full audit. He
added a full audit could be expensive.
Mrs. Cravens said she thought the agenda item 9 c "discussion of performing audit of funds to confirm
utilization is as intended" inferred a full audit of revenues and expenditures.
Mr. Dorrill said no and repeated the Board's direction by motion of directing the Administrator to request
from the Clerk's internal auditor, a reconciliation of beginning and ending cash balances for both capita] funds 320
and 322, going back to the dates of inception. There was no discussion of a full audit of all revenues and
expenditures.
Mrs. Cravens said she had a meeting with County Budget staff on October I and has an audio version that
once converted to digital she would distribute to the Board. John Yonkosky, the County's Budget Director,
conirrmed that $1.2+ million is the amount reported by the County's SAP system on September ]5, so she said there
are questions that remain. In her opinion, a reconciliation report showing fiscal year beginning and ending balances
did not appear to be sufficient. She added this Board should know the actual amounts of how much money came in,
how much money spent, and how much money was unspent and requested a more thorough report.
Mr. Dorrill said if Mrs. Cravens has concerns, she could request a report directly from the Clerk of Courts
internal auditor. The request did not have to go through the Pelican Bay Services Division Board. He added if she
believes there is unlawful activity, the States Attorney's office is also a good resource.
Mrs. Cravens said she was not making allegations; she believes two different accounting systems created
problems.
Mr. Dorrill clarified there are not two separate accounting systems but the Budget staff reported erroneous
information by compounding the carry forward over multiple years and that inaccurate infonnation was then
reported incorrectly to the public and Board through the media. He added the Budget office intends to correct.
Mrs. Cravens said at the next BCC meeting, Gary McAlpin is going to present the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee recommendations for developing a Master Plan for the health, management and long-term viability of

the Clam Bay Estuary. Their plan includes installation oflateral navigational signs, so ifthis Board thinks it can act
later on this, later will be too late.
Mr. Dorrill said the Pelican Bay Services Division Advisory Board no longer has the authority to issue
comment on the subject of channel markers in Clam Bay. The Services Division's responsibility was taken away
from them and the responsibility given to somebody else.
Mrs. Cravens said the pennit was issued to the Pelican Bay Services Division, not the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee.
Mr. Dorrill said who the pennit was issued is irrelevant in this case because both the Services Division and
the Clam Bay Advisory Committee are under the authority of the Board of County Commissioners.
Mrs. Cravens said she understood but still disagreed and stated she agreed with Dr. Raia.
Dr. Raia made a motion for the Pelican Bay Services Division accept the report he made.
Mr. Dorrill said there was no need for a motion. Dr. Raia's report is received and a part of the meeting
record, but there was no findings of fact or conclusions in regards to pennit status. Board members have the
opportunity to give presentations. The Board discussed Dr. Raia's report and he was encouraged repeatedly to
provide his findings to other Committees and Boards, and the Board of County Commissioners, so that they may
have all infonnation should they decide to reconsider. Dr. Raia gave a presentation and that is the end of it. There
is no official action.
Ms. Linda Roth, a resident of Pelican Bay's Montenero was the next public speaker. She said the County
and agencies involved in the Clam Bay permit all came to the same conclusion that the channel markers installed
meet U.S. Coast Guard standards. There are two types of aids to navigation or A TON. One type is non-lateral
infonnational markers and the other type is lateral navigational markers. There is no requirement for lateral
navigational signs.
Chairwoman Womble encouraged Ms. Roth to express herself and go before the Board of County
Commissioners as public speaker representing herself as resident of Pelican Bay.
Dr. Raia said he disagrees with Mr. Dorrill and disagrees with Madam Chair Womble. Regarding the
subject of Clam Bay channel markers, Dr. Raia believes it to be the Pelican Bay Services Division Board's business.
As a full body, the Pelican Bay Services Division Board should bring the infonnation to the attention of the Board of

County Commissioners. He suggested Madam Chair Womble step down and a new Chairperson be elected, hut no
Board members or anyone in the audience responded.
Ms. Estelle Fishbein, a resident of Pelican Bay's Beauville and final public speaker said there was an article
in Naples Daily News by Doug Caudwell regarding the threat of white flies to fichus hedges on Vanderbilt Beach
and other areas adjacent to Pelican Bay. She asked if there was a plan to thwart the white flies.
Mr. Lukasz said the Services Division is aware of the issue. The Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences (IFAS) of the University of Florida County Extension Service issued bulletins and he has distributed
information to residents who have inquired.
Mr. Hoppensteadt said the Pelican Bay Post is running an article about the white flies in its next issue.
Chairwoman Womble said she would like the Services Division to resume writing articles for the Pelican
Bay Post to report on issues that the Services Division is interested or subjects of discussion that come up at
meetings to let people know what is going on with the Services Division. She asked if anyone would like to
volunteer from the Board or staff.
Ms. Resnick and Mr. Dallas volunteered. Chairwoman Womble did not give formal or official direction.
Mr. Cravens suggested returning audience participation on the agenda because it allows the Services
Division to hear residents' concerns. He said the item should be following the approval of the minutes.
Chairwoman Womble directed Ms. Resnick to place audience participation as agenda item 3.
Ms. Resnick said she would add audience participation to the agenda as item 3.

BLUE SKY MEDIA. INC. EDUCATIONAL VIDEO PRESENTATION
Mr. Adie] J. Eshkenazi, Producer and Director, Blue Sky Media, Inc., and Ms. Jennifer Rosenthal, Assis/antto the
Producer, Blue Sky Media, Inc.. presented the Pelican Bay Services Division's educational video entitled, "Water Runs
Through It" Applause followed the presentation.
Madam Chair Womble asked the audience for comments.
No one in the audience chose to participalC.
Madam Chair Womble said to Mr. Eshkenazi and Ms. Rosenthal, "It was a very beautiful presentalion of exactly
what happens with the water." As a tcacher, she is hopeful the video wilt help to educate people about water and made a
suggestion to contact schools Seagate and Pine Ridge areas, so students can watch and learn. Other suggestions made were
to provide the video to local colleges, the County, the Fooodalion's channel 95, the Club at Pelican Bay, Ladies Group, and
Men's Coffee. Anyone interested in watching the video should contact the office
Mr. Dorrill informed the Board that staff is exploring possibilities of showi"l! the videos "Water RooS Through It"
and the "Jewel of Pelican Bay" on the Coooty'S government access channel. He added the purpose of the video was to fulfill
a requirement of the ten-year Clam Bay Restoration & Management Plan permit. 'The video speaks to the value added and
little bit of the mystique as to why Pelican Bay is such a special place."
Dr. Raia and Mr. lau20 both expressed the video sbould be llllKie available to realtors and prospective buyers
because it demonstrates the comnnmity's value.
Mr. Cravens sugge<lud looking into the possibility of mass production oftbe OVD for distribution to all residents.
He added it is very inexpensive and costs less than $1 per DVD.

Madam Chair Womble assigned the Budget CommiU"" to examine the budget for the possibility of video mass
production. She added both the Services Division and Fowuiation Boards should perform a needs assessment fIrst.
Ms McCaughtry said one-bundred (100) DVDs are on order and should be ready in two weeks.
There was a general concern over copyright issues. The video was paid for with public funds and therefore
available in the public domain.
Madam Chair Womble thanked Mr. Eshkenazi and Ms. Rosenthal. There \ws no further discussion.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Madam Chair Womble opened up the floor to audience participation.
Mr. Robert Naegele, resident, and Chairman, Pelican Bay Foundation asked if he and others can make public
comments could after the Board hears an agenda item, referring specifically to agenda item 5 b, Recent Clam Bay Reports by
Humiston & Moore and PBS & J. He added that this item is an importamt and sensitive issue in the Pelican Bay community.
Mr. Durrill said the Board should decide whether to hear public comments following an agenda item.
There were no Board COID11Wnts or concerns regarding Mr. ~e1e's request and Madam Chair Womble expressed
the Board consensus that the Board shall hear public comments followq" an agenda item.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
RECENT CLAM BAY REPORTS BY HUMlSTON & MOORE AND PBS & J
Mr. Durrill began his Administrator's Report with item 5 b) Recent Clam Bay Reports by Humiston & Moore and
PBS & J Discussion. The Humiston & Moore report entilled Clam Pass Restoration & Management Plan Tidal Analysis
Report No. 10 is the primary reason for this agenda item The pwpose of the report is to advise the Board on matters related to
mangrove management and restoration and to fulfill a requirement of the ten-year Clam Bay Restoration & Management Plan
permit. Cwrently, the report is part of the continuing program that moniilors water quality and tidal velocities in the Estuary
system. The PBS & J Clam Bay System report was going hefore the Boan! of County Commissioners on November 10
originally; however, now it is scheduled for December 15. The Clam Bay Advisory Committee will sunset on Decemher 31,
2009 unless the enabling ordinance extends the committee's authority and duties. He acknowledged the PBS& J report raised
concerns in the community regarding the way the Services Division coll""ted water quality monitoring data historically. The
Services Division's data is reliable scientifically, if for no other reason than a certified COlmty lab actually performed the
testing. There were questions raised as to whether the technicians perfonning the collection are state certified. Historically
the answer is no, however, currently, technicians can enroll in a certitication comse and there are three staff certified
technicians. The State ofFIorida's Storage and Retrieval datahase or STORET is an electronic datahase for water quality data
8232

that meets standards. Historically, the SeTvices Division has not reported. water quality data to the State because from what he
understands, the data's intent is for local use. The data collected mayor may not be eligible to report to the State's electronic
clearinghouse for general water quality standards,. but if it is eligible, the. Board should consider torwarding it. In July, when
he commenced employment as Administrator of the Services Division, tine Board informed him they were not in receipt of
fiscal year 2009 Fund III money. He worked with County staff and the Services Division did receive a portion. He is
monitoring receipt of fiscal year 2010 Fund II I money that goes toward ""pital Clam Bay Fund 320. The County's Coastal
Zone Management department and Commissioners intend to extend the authority of the Clam Bay Advisory Committee, so
there is the potential that they may also request funding to develop a Clam Bay management plan~ He is monitoring the
situation and if they make the request, he will do what he can to ensme the Services Division does not lose the budgeted
fiscal year 2010 Fund III money.
Mr. Hall said the Services Division's wale.- quality data is not eligible for STORET ~ The reason the data is not
eligible for STORET because at the time of collection, the protocols to fullow did not exist. Currently, the State certification
requirement regarding equipment and data collection, or moreover a qwdity assurance, quality control (QAQC) proto=l must
be followed in order for data to be eligible for STORET and to detennine whether a water body is impaired. When the new
protocol started, the Services Division did not change its procedure because the Clam Bay Restoration & Management Plan
permit did not require it and was more costly~ The Humiston & Moore Tidal report No~ 10 data shows the tidal prism, the
difference between high and low tides and tlte tidal lag, the amoWltoftime it is low tide in the Gulf versus the amotmt of
time it is low tide in the basin. The 'ystem's tidal prism is hetter than it "'as hefore the permit program started in 1998. This
data and visual observation detennines whether or not to maintenance dnodge to open up the Pass~ The data for this year
shows the tidal prism and phase lag is within the original permit ranges, so maintenance dredging is not necessary. There is a
decrease of water movement in upper Clam Bay. but is oot believed to be associated with the Pass, but with a small shoal
area that was dredged originally and is reforming. The area is under monitoring, so it does not get to the point where it is
blocks water completely from upper Clam Bay~
Mr. Cravens asked if tbe total water volume coming in and out is higher and if that is what Mr. Hall means when he
says "better."
Mr. Hall said the flushing capacity is better, so there is more tmno_~ The wale.- coming in is moving more~ This
does not necessarily indicate a higher volume of water coming in and out, although in this case it does. Growth and
progression of mangrove plot'!. continue to be monitored, and documented.

Madam Chair Womble asked Mr. Hall about the mangrove are",s that seemed to be dying and if he still believed this
was a natural die-ofT resulting from several hurricanes in 2005.
Mr. Hall said he is. stilt inclined to say it is a natural die-off and 15 monitoring the area to make sure some of the
chlorate growth. or yellowing of leaves does not get any worse.
Mr. Cravens said he walked the public boardwalk in Clam Pass Park recently. He used to guide nature walks there
for the Conservancy 3 - 4 years ago and since then he has not visited the boardwalk in Clam Pass Park There is a large
volume of Brazilian Pepper growing in the mangroves. Noting the Services Division controls exotic Invasive plant growth in
Pelican Bay, he asked Mr. Hall if there was a County progmm foJ' c(mtrol of exotic invasive plants in Clam Pass Park.
Mr. Hall responded the County did not have such a program. He said he removes small exotic invasive plants as he
sees them when he is on site. Larger invasive plants and pockets of growth, they try to locate on a handheld GPS or aerial
photograph and then he informs Mr. Lukasz that those areas need treatment He added this issue has come up before. There
were exotic invasive plants by the roadway of the Ritz Carlton that the Tnmsportation depmtment removed eventually. He
said he would find out who is responsible and inform the Board.
Mr. Moffatt asked Mr. Cravens if the COWlty were responsible would that make the Services Division responsible
because, "We are the CoWlty."
Mr. Cravens said he did not believe the Services Division was responsible for any maintenance of the County's
public boardwalk in Clam Pass Park.
Mr. Dorrill said the Services Division could be responsible, but is not.
Mr. Lukasz asked Mr. Cravens bow much and where did he find the Brazilian Pepper growth.
Mr. Cravens said there is extensive exotic invasive Bmzilian Pepper all along the rust half of County's public
boardwalk and the amount diminishes closer to the beach area.
Mr. Lukasz said the County's Parks and Recreation department 'Wonld be responsible for the area within the park,
but he would fmd out aOO. resolve.
Mr. Duffill referred to Hwniston & Moore's No. 10 report. He said the Board paid for the report as a requirement of
the Clam Bay Permit. ]t is important that the Board acknowledge the report, especially because of the eurrent Clam Bay
issues. He asked Mr. Hall to explain what the layperson's perspective should be.
Mr. Hall explained Humiston & Moore reported the hydrologic annual monitoring required of the Clam Bay permit.
tn the past, 'Turrell, Hall and Associates provided an annual report and presentation, however this year it is not a requirement
8234

l.fil?
and they do not have plans to do so. In sUlllJDaIy, the report shows the syslem is working well and no maintenance dredging
needed. He can invite someone fTOm Humiston & Moore to the next meeting to answer technical questions.
Mr. Moffatt read number one of the executive summary of the PBS & J report that smt~ "While there are numerous
water quality monitoring programs throughout the Clam and Moorings Bays systems, the water quality data from efforts in
Clam Bay is not heing placed into the State of Florida's Storage and Retrieval (STORET) database. This is inconsistent with
guidance given to local governments through Florida Administrative COOle and Florida Statutes. Data collected by the City of
Naples for Moorings Bay is being placed into S-fORET." He asked Mr. Hall if the statement was true and whether the
Services Division take any action.
Mr. Hall said Florida Statnte require local, COWlly, and state governments, and water management districts to enter
appropriate water quality data into STORET. The term "appropriate" meets quality assurance and quality control guidelines.
This data clarifies whether a water body is impaired. Anyone can submit data to STORET, but that does not mean the data is
accepted. About five or six years ago, they discussed it and because not a permit requirement and the protocol would incur
additional cost, it was not pursued.
Mr. Cravens said he feels this report has cast a shadow on work: the Services Division has done. He fears people will
refute Pelican Bay's claim ofwatec quality that existed in the past, does not exist because the data was not entered into
STORET.
Mr. Han said some pcop\ebave said that aheady. The lab that analyzed the data is a certified lab. It is more ofa
matter of protocol followed. or in this case not foUowcd, to collect the data and equipment calibration before and after
collection. This could make the data susceptible. Since Twrell Hall & Associates took over the study. they did collect data
that they considered abnormal and inconsistent, but have always doct.1Illented it and is why they beJieve it to be suspect.
Mr. laizzo asked Mr. Hall if because the data was not entered into STORET did that "hurt us." He also asked if the
reason the data is not in STORET is due to the technician not being State certified.
Mr. Hall said part of the reason the data is no! in STORET is due to uncertified technicians. The main reason it is
not in STORET is there was no protocol in existence to follow_ When the protocol was fust introduced, it was not a permit
requirement and expensive, so it was not implemented. Just because there is not any paperwork to show all of that, it does
not mean the data is not verifiable data. The issues raised bave to do with two parameters. One is dissolved oxygen. The
state bas a mandated standard that dissolved oxygen levels cannot go bdow four and on a 24-hour period should average 5 or
higher. They collect a "one-time grab" sample, no! several over a 24-bour period. It levels depend on the time of day and
time of year. The downside of not entering data into STORET is that the State conld mandate their own water quality

.ltl?
collection and testing study and based on their data determine the water Ibody impaired It is possihle that the water body is
pristine in its natural state without dissolved oxygen levels above 5, but without coordinating the water body data to be site
specific, then the risk is there that the water body could be declared impaired and the State would then impose restrictions
and requirements to resolve the impairment. The second parameter is chlorophyll-a. Mr. Hall said he is not too concerned
about cWorophyll-a, because the average data conected exceeds the standard. He said there might be some inaccuracies with
some of the data and in prior annual reports, is documented as parameters to monitor.
Mr. Moftatt made a suggestion for the Services Division to deve\op a water quality conection and testing procedure
manual.
Mr. Hall said the manual could be modified to reflect site-specific conditions and before and after field calibrations.
Mr. Cravens asked Mr. Hall how tbe different time of day reflects in the results.
Mr. Hall said said the time of day and temperature make a difference. Generally, warmer waters and warmer
temperatures result in lower dissolved oxygen. Different levels will result by taking a sample in the shade versus sunshine.
Chairwoman Womble asked what work is involved to revise the water quality collection and testing manual to be
site-specific.
Mr. Hall said he recommends revising the water qnality collection and testing manual in the new Clam Bay
management plan. It would take about a week to review and rewrite, then to be safe. have their quality assurance and quality
control consultants review it fOT accuracy. He added that if it is the Servitces Division's inteJll to keep taking water quality
\\amples, yes, it is a good idea. if it were the County'. intent to delegate '8uthority elsewhere and incorporate water quality
testing into their monitoring progra~ then it would be a waste of time and duplication of services.
Mr. Dorrill said this years' budget includes the asswnption the Services Division would maintain control of the
water qnality monitoring in Clam Bay.
Mr. Iaizzo asked if the teclmicians are certified, otherwise the dola is useless.
Mr. Hall said there are three certified teclmicians.
Mr. laizzo asked if there was already a duplication of effort wilih both the Services Division and the County testing
water quality.
Mr. Hall said not yet.
Mr. Moffatt said the point he is trying to make is the Services Division may be able 10 preclude the County from
delegating the task of water quality collection and testing el..,where, the Board can show the County they have certified
technicians to collect water quality data.

Mr. Dorrill suggested a Boanl motion and vote.
Mr. Moffatt made a motion to direct Turrell Hall & Associates; to develop a revised and site-specific water quality
collection and testing protocol that is quality assurance quality control (QAQC) approved for the technicians on site to f()l1onr
and when complete. implement the protocol.
Mr. Cravens seconded the motion.
Dr. Raia asked what does cWorophyll-a measure.
Mr. Hall said cWorophyll-a measures the amount of cWorophyU or green plant material and algae growth.
Mr. Cravens asked if nitrogen affects cWorophyll-1l growth.
Mr. Hall said in systems in Southwest Florida, it is both nitrogen and phosphorus, but probably more phosphorus-
limited than nitrogen-limited
Mr. Moffatt asked if the data would he eligible for STORET if there is an implementation of a revised water quality
data collection and testing protocol. His intention is to prevent another negative report, like the PBS & J onc.
Mr. Hall said yes.
Mr. Cravens added to the motion. 1l1e Services Division will submit data collected to the appropriate state agency.
Chairwoman Womble added the data collected is to be commensurate with agency standards.
Dr. Raia referred to cWorophyll-1l. He explained algae and sediment deprive the environment of sunlight and
dissolved oxygen. He was trying to ascertain where the die-off is and what has precipitated the need for the many tests that
are expensive because he does not see a die-off of anything. The only thing seen to die-offwas the mangroves about 10-12
years ago, and the Pelican Bay community discovered what the cause was, fixed and paid for it. For some reason, the County
has pursued additional testing. He asked the Chair to discuss the PBS & J report on the agenda because he felt the wording in
the report is extremely critical of Pelican Bay. It is IIOt fair. Staff worked very hanlto solve the problem and he congratulated.
Instead, the PBS & J report states the water collected by tbe Pelican Bay Services Division contains obvious errors. PRS & J
also compares Clam Bay with Moorings Bay and finds Moorings Bay t<> he a hetter water body. The report is unprofessional
and clear misuse of information. He distributed to the Boanl a 1981 MOO>rings Bay report by the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation (FDER) The report offers suggestions to improve the water quality, circulation, and to lower the
water depth in Moorings Bay by ftIling it in with sediment. The PBS & ] report states Moorings Bay is too sballow and to
improve water quality and circulation, Clam Pass be dredged to widen the connection between Moorings Bay and upper
Clam Bay. The PBS & ] report findings contradict the FDER report findings.
Madam Chair Womble said, "But the report is from 1981."

Mr. Cravens asked Dr. Raia to clarify whether he was in favor cOf or opposed to the motion on the floor.
Dr. Raia said he was contributing information leading up to that. He acknowledged.Mr. Moffiltt's. comment "we are
the County." Clam Bay is County property and therefore C<>unty responsibility. Westinghouse gave the property to the
County because the Army Corp. of Engineers determined that Wcstingh<>use would not be a good custodian to preserve its
natural state, and therefore a governmental entity should take over. 10-12 years ago, when the mangroves were dying off and
needed fixing, the County Commissioners, even though lbe County owned the property, would not appropriate any money
because they believed Pelican Bay to be a ricb community. The County Commissioners gave Pelican Bay a green light to pay
for and fix the problem themselves. Tbe Pelican Bay commWlity spent llteir own $1,000,000 to fix the problem. He stressed
that if the County wants to take over the responsibility of Clam Bay, then they should be paying in entirety. The Services
Division is happy to pay for the program if the the Services Division is the custodian, to ensure Clam Bay stays pristine. If
the Services Division is going to go through with a water quality program, then the County should not be duplicating
services. He said according to Ross Ohley in the water management video? Pelican Bay designed the water management
system for the South Florida Water Management District His referred 10 his second handout from the South Florida Water
Management District entitled Table 2. Water management systems are based upon the amoWlt of impervious and pervious
surface land. A greater amount of impervious swface land resuhs in runoff and pollution
Mr. Moffatt said, "What does this have to do with my motion, I'm confused."
Dr. Raia said, "I don't want to waste any money. I listened to you Jerry. I did not interrupt you. Please let me
tinish."
Chairwoman Womble asked Dr. Raia to, "Get to the point, Ted."
Dr. Raia continued, "Because we are talking about water and pollution and the County's responsibility." From what
he understands. the water management system in Pelican Bay is designed. for certain areas where there is cluster housing.
Table 2 clearly states the appropriate quantity and percentages of peIVious and impervious surface areas in Pelican Bay. That
is oow a water management system should work. The County does oot dletme coastal development in the same way. To the
County, Pelican Bay is one whole cluster without creating any additional open land because the golf course and Clam Bay
have already been declared the land used for open space. Pelican Bay's water management system does not say that, so he
believes there is a disconnect between the amount of water that can flow off the land into Clam Bay and what may be actually
happening. If this disconnect exists, then it would he appropriate fOT lite Services Division to ascertain whether a problem
exists. "That is my point un that particular issue. Thank yuu."
Madam Chair Womble said, "Well that got into the record."

Mr. Molfatt referred 10 the PBS & J re\;sed executive sWllDlHIY. He believes it is misleading. From what he
16J

.f\J3
understands, the consultant for PBS & J is going to come to the Services Division's next meeting and review the report
before it goes to the County Commissioners.
Mr. Dorrill said no.
Madam Chair Womble asked Mr. Moffatt from whom did he receive the information.
Mr. Moffatt said from John Arcen, Chairman of the Clam Bay Advisory Connnittee (CBAC.)
Mr. Dorrill sajd from his underslanding, the Mr. Arcen intelld. to discnss fw1her the PBS & J report at the next
CBAC meeting on November 19.
Dr Raia said 10 Mr. Moffatt that be believes the CBAC has already voted to submit the PBS & J report to the
Conunissioners. He wondered how they could change their- vote not to SlIIibmit the draft to the Comty Commissioners without
having another meeting.
Mr. Moffatt said his understanding is the report will not go before the Commissioners until December IS.
Dr.. Raia said, "So much for the Sunshine Law. Somebody decided something."
Mr. Levy asked Mr. Moffatt if he had a revised executive summary.
Mr. Dorrill said Mr. Moffatt is referring 10 a different executive swnmary, one that is a staff submilled document.
He is not referring to the PHS & J report's executive summary.
Mr. Moffatt said his point is the Services Division should do everything it can to reflect more accurately the facts
and avoid misinterpretation before it goes to the Commissioners.
Mr. Cravens said it was stiU Wlclear as to what report Mr. Moftmtt was referring. Was it the staff executive swnmary
or the executive sununary in the PBS & J report.
Mr Moffatt said the executive swnmary be was referring was the one prepared by John ArceO, Chairman of CBAC.
Mr. Dorrill said it is his understanding that the staff executive summary would have been written by Gary McAlpin.
It is a preliminary docwuent, not yet scheduled for a BCC agenda. Mr. McAlpin may want it to he on the ageuda, but Mr.
Dorrill discnssed the Board's concerns with Michael Sheffield, Assistant Connty Manager, and that resulted in the item
pulled from the Connnissioners' November 10 meeting agenda.
Mr. Cravens said he believes the CBAC will sunset at the end of December 2009 and in order 10 extend the
committee, the Conunissioners are required to approve an extension.
Mr. Dorrill said yes, the CBAC would sunset on December 31,2009 unless the Connnissioncrs extended it, so he
understands Mr. McAlpin' s. s.ense of urgency to get the extension before it expires..

AUDIENCE COMMENTS: RECENT CLAM BAY REPORTS BY HUMJSTON &, MOORE AND PHS &, J
Mr. Bob Naegele, resident since 1994 ard Chairman oflbe Pelican Bay Foundation, said thank you to the Pelican
Bay Services Division past and present on work done because. "It is a tha.nldess job and probably most mislUlderstood by
Pelican Bay residents and by the County. The Services Division has established a great precedent and for a very long time
was in charge of Clam Bay and the Pelican Bay waler system. The Services Division hecamc a casualty of no good deed
goes unpunished and something happened." He reterred to some cmails going hack and forth and read one, "from someone
who shall remain nameless. He read, 'They have taken away the authoris;y of the Pelican Bay Services Division to renew the
ten-year permit. They have created the CBAC effectively taking control out of Pelican Bay. They have established a sunset
date for this conunittcc, moving the last voices of Pelican Bay.' Now thatt will extend should this December 15 meeting take
place. 'They have subordinated the CBAC 10 the CAC making it incffecttive and not to be heard ti-om. They have created the
Clam Bay Estuary, a geographical entity not supported by anything ard liIey have averaged data for this new entity to set the
stage for further actioIL All of this has happened in a matter of months in the Sunshine and properly accepted and approved
by our govenunent. Now it is a slap in the face for each ofyoll who have paid the price. I see Coleman Connell sitting down
there too as a former Chairman. I just wanted to congratulate you and take a moment of lament. My second piece is this.
Humiston & Moore, and Turrell, Hall & Associates, have been wondcrf6d consultants to what we have established over time.
Weare grateful to them and their good counsel. Then lhis report comes out by PBS & J. Yon just discussed the executive
summary published as final, but we know there is going to be work as Mr. Moffatt pointed out there are serious errors in it
In the Hwniston & Moore October 27, 2009 response to Mr. McAlpin, K<m.R=i.'lI<v>.~ """"".., \lli<. a\k:<,;ati<>= made
by PBS& J." Mr. Naegele read from the first page, 'The PBS & J report disregards the eircwnstances ander which the H&M
study was condncted in describing the H&M modeling study.' "Mr. lIumiston continues to rebut speeitic allegations made,

and this could not have been easy as he may still want to do business wilh the County, but he had to stand up and say, J raise
my hand in objection. He did it r-espectfully and quite comprehensively_"-'" The last page ofMr_ Humiston's letter reads that
new parameters could have been added to the model framework without :the need to create a new model" This is a buJe
misleading on several levels and the most obvious is that PBS & J is proposing to create a new model. Uyou are trying to
create a new model, then you are trying to get a different result and that is what is most troubling because we have seen from
the original David Tomasko report, now followed up to lIris report, iliat tiaere are huge contradictions. As a resident, the thing
that galls the most is that what we have done is historic and we are being compared to a sewer to the south called Venetian
Bay where there are seventy -one pipes directly feeding into Venetian Bay. There arc a number of boat slips with boat pump
out stations and another one up in the County called Vanderbilt Lagoon, which is another sewer. We are being put in a
situation that our water is impaired. Folks this is not right, this is not fair, and this is not factual. Thank you. ,.
Mrs. Marcia Cravens identified herself as President of the Mangrove Action Group and iliat she was speaking for
herself as a resident, for the organization. Mangrove Action Group, and for the over 2,400 who have signed the petition in
support of no action that would significantly alter the Clam Bay preserve ""ea. She referred to information she received from
County ordinances regarding recent species list and some historic pages negarding Clam Bay. She refers to several County
doclUDents including the Pelican Bay Planned Unit Development (pUD)>covenants, the 1991 Collier COlmty Coastal Zone
Management plan, a 1992 Collier County Ordinance, the Collier County Growth Management Plan, and Army Corp of
Engineers which all state that the area north of Clam Pass is the Pelican Bay Conservation Area. The area is maintained in
perpetuity for conservation purposes, protection of natural resources, ~ beauty, and aestOOtic value. Further, no building
structure, facility, or other improvement shall be placed in the conservatiIDn area without written approval by grantor and
grantor has a right to reject any offers. The Army Corp of Engineers pennit restricts dredging of Outer, Inner or Upper Clam
Bay. Motor driven vessels are restricted from the sea grass bed area. The Clam Bay system shall be posted as no wake zone.
A major goal of the Growth Management Plan's Conservation and Coastal Element is for the County to focus attention on the
ways and means to protect, preserve, and conserve wildlife, and improve the natwaJ habitat of the Clam Bay ecosystem. On
behalf of the 2,400 + Mangrove Action Group petitioners and overwhelming sentiment of Pelican Bay, she asked the
Services Division Board to do everything in its power to protect the Clam Bay ecosystem from being degraded, or its
flUlction misused. to keep it in its natural state so that it can serve its purpose. She added that Collier COWlty received
Federal funding as part of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) and said Collier County's proposal
misrepresented the Clam Pass Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) calling it the Clam Bay Mangrove Forest Estuary as
having "recently experienced alanning increases in nutrient level loading. It is absolutely Wltrue and borders on fraud." She

further explained that this WRDA proposal is not dead, it simply did not get any action taken in 2008 or 2009, however the
Housc has passed a WRDA type bill and it is currently in the Senate. She requested every Board member write a letter to
u.s. Senators Bill Nelson and George Lemieux indicating how they felt about this.
Ms. Sara Wu. resident of Seagate said she was nervous to be here becausc she thought, "you might get a little bit
upset for me being here. The only reason why I'm ht..'Te is because] get tlhris feeling from emails rYe seen out there and
docwnents that people are looking at the PBS & J report and pointing filJlgers at one another, making accusations, claiming
there is some conspiracy out there to dredge Clam Bay.
Chairwoman Womble assured Ms. Wu that no one was upset lhat she was here.
Ms. Wu asked the residents of Pelican Bay to be objective, put past conflicts aside, and work together with Seagate
and the County to make Clam Bay a better place than it already is. "It is a great system, it is beautiful, but according to the
report, there are some water quality issues that need to be addressed o~ectively and move forward."
Chairwoman Womble affirmed what Ms. Wu said to ensure sbe lllIIIlerslood. One point was for Pelican Bay
re",dents to look at things objectively and the other was that Clam Bay could be used in a better way. She asked Ms. Wu
what she meant by better way.
Ms. Wu said she did not think sbe said that Clam Bay can be used in a better way, but she wants water quality to he
better, she wauts more wildlife, "my canal to be cleaner" and "particularly the water quality in Clam Bay cau improve and
should improve. This is a baseline report." She asked Mr. Hall if his water quality sampling sites WCTe more or less than
what was donc by PBS & J, specifically the number of sites and if they pulled from below the boardwalk or stopped at the
boardwalk.
Mr. Hall said the sampling they do is in cO~lDlCtion with the developmenl, but overall they sample more sites than
PBS & J did, but in the Bay itself, less.
Ms. Wu asked bow far south did they go.
Mr. Hall said they stop at the culvert that separates Seagate drive.
Dr. Raia asked Ms. Wu if she lived on one of the canals in Seagate.
Ms. Wu said yes.
Dr. Raia said it is difficult to flush those canals becausc they are quite a bit deeper than Clam Bay.
Ms. Wu said yes.
Dr. Raia said Pelican Bay did not build the Seagate canals.

Ms. Wu said she understood that but, "'what is getting emptied into those canals has to go somewhere and I'm sure
that is impacting the health of the estuary. We need to be as comprehensave as we possibly can. You guys have done a
wonderful job with the mangroves. I commeod you for that but that is _ all there is to managing Clam Bay."
Dr. Raia asked what she sees as the problem.
Ms. Wu said she did not know, she is not a scientist, but based om her observations she sees a problem when she is
kayaking. ""I do not think that silt and cloudy water is necessarily' healthy water." There is algae growth, less fish and fewer
dolphins.
Mr. Moffatt said to Ms. Wu that her comments were welcome and referred to the last meeting \"JleTC he said the
Services Division and Pelican Bay should act responsibly or they will not have a chance to continue to manage Clam Bay.
Because the odds are stacked against them, Pelican Bay Services Division must take some positive action to show good
management. He referred hack to his mentiou of the executive swmnary "larified he received an email Jiom Gary McAlpin.
Mr. McAlpin and staff prepared the executive sunnnary at the direction oIf John Arceri, Chairman, CBAC. The CBAC will
discuss the P8S & J report at the November 19 meeting and present to the COWlty Commissioners on December 15. He
hopes PBS & J will come to the Services Division's next meeting to disclllSs, so the Board can provide input
Dr. Raia asked Mr. Moffatt if there was any reason why he did not forward that emailto the Board, so they could be
prepared for today' s comments.
Mr. Moffatt said he has been busy, so he did not have a chance. He added the changes were not substantial.
Dr. Raia said the sediment report lists certain metals found and this does not make Pelican Bay look good. He added
the metals could only come from certain entities, one being. '1he Caloosa Indians were practicing some type of metalhrrgy
there, or the reused water is not purified enough, or it could leech from thoe pylons that support the boardwalk If that were
the case, it would be an insurmountable cost to try to resolve. On the other band~ there is no mangrove die-out near any of the
pylons and none of the wildlife is dying. Where is the problem we are trying to fix? Scagate was built in 1950 and sold the
way it is today with a very shallow Clam Bay." He wishes they could help Scagate, but "if they expect us to dredge a six foot
deep channel to flush those canals it is going to he very difficult to accomplish."
Ms. Wu said she never said anything about dredging Clam Pass.
Mrs. Cravens said the Pelican Bay Conservation Area still exists and the Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA)
is another layer to this conservation area. In 1999 a judge ordered Collierr.County to create two NRP As, one for publicly
owned conservation areas and one for privately owned conservation area.~_ The problem is the Clam Bay Advisory
Committee is has re-defined the existing estuary into an extended and very large one inclnding Seagale and Moorings Bay.

Seagate and Moorings Bay are not in the NRP A, but the CBAC is trying tto incorporale those areas into the NRP A
management plan, a deviation from the original plan.
Ms. Linda Roth, resident of Pelican Bay's Montenero read a sec1llon of the Naples City Cmmcil workshop minutes
of May 19,2008. AI Katz, Vice President, Save lhe Bays of Naples said;at least cighly beach outfall pipes empty into thc
Moorings Bay system which carry pollutants and storm water. She showed pictmes of the pipes mounted into the cement
walls of the Seagate canals_ All homes have pipes that empty inlo Mooriongs Bay_ She referred to the PBS &.1 report whlCh
states the water in Moorings Bay and Seagate canal is better than Clam Bay according to the criteria of dissolved oxygen and
chlorophyll-a and all graphs in the report show this. Either the study is wrong or the Naples City Council minntes are wrong
There are many more Naples City COWlCil meetings where the minutes read that Moorings Bay pollution is due to the piping
system. Referring to Ms. Wu, she said Seagate wants the water cleaned up, but according to this report, they do not have a
problem in Moorings Bay, so there is something \\Tong here_
Chairwoman Womble said thank you and said to Ms_ Roth that she received her email about grass clippings and tlm!
Mr. Lukasz can address that with ber.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: CAPITAL FUNDS INTERNAL AUDIT REPORT
Mr. Dorrill said at the October meeting, the Board directed him to contact the Clerk's internal auditor and request
them to prepare an analysis of beginning cash balances back to the inception of capital funds 320 & 322. He said the cany
forward nwnbers on the report correspond with the 3UlOWlts budgeted or anticipated fOT carry forward. There are several
reasons why. Based on the actual encumbered or still in pl"occss purchase onlers, sometimes it is difficult to detennine how
much has been or will be spent hefore the end of the year. The CoWlty st..ff has not yet resolved to his satisfaction how the
County accOlmts for interest earnings that would accrue on the Services Division's funds and cannot co-mingle with general
revenue. Thirdly, as he reported last month, there was a mistake made in the calculation of the year-end budget amendment
in an advertised public notice published in the Naples Daily News_ Tbe capital fwx\s audit report he distributed and
presented is part of today' s record. The bottom line is the money is there. The year-end balance of Clam Bay capitallimd
320 is $381,645 and capital fund 322 is over $1 million. There are other reserves with surplus as well. Last year's numbers
for fiscal year 2008-2009 are not fmal. State reporting requirements allow W1ti1 spring, 2010. He thanked Ms. Crystal Kinzel,
Clerk's Finance Director and Mr_ Derek Johnssen, Clerk's General AccolDlt Manager for their assistance.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT
Mr. Dorrill presented the Clerk Finance Department's newly formatted monthly [maneial statement. He said it is

CROSSWALK AND INTERSECTIONS THERMOPLASTIC RESTRlPING UPDATE
Mr. Lukasz said contractors have completed most of the thennopDastic fe-striping,. however they missed the area on
Hanunock Oak to restripe the Wn,'Ctional lane markings at the intersection. He has notified the Transportation department
they are going to try to get the contractor to come back relatively soon.
Mr. Gibson said the modification of the North Tram parking lot is great, but he may want to place a "right turn only"
sign attbe exit, so that people are not confused and turn left resulting in an accident.
Mr. Lukasz said he would look into the modification.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Ms. Cathy Stenza, Pelican Bay resident of Pebble Creek said sbe was bere with her husband and several neighbors.
Regarding the North Tram station crosswalk, they are concerned because cars do not stop at the crosswalk. There have been
many near misses and they requested a warning devi.ce, similar to the one at Myra Janco Daniels Boulevard with lights
because the stop for pedestrians sign at the crosswalk is not working. She said when she tried to get a car to stop~ '<the driver
flipped me the bird. "
Dr. Henry <<Hank" Di Vincent, also a resident of Pelican Bay's Pebble Creek said the difficulties that exist are from
the south side there is a straightaway and from IDS observations, cars rarely go the 30 MPH speed limit From the north east
side it is a curve and one's eye catches the North Tram station, not the signage at the crosswalk. He said he is a retired
orthopedic surgeon and he has seen serious accidents and injuries. The time to act is now because when an emergency
happens it is too late. He has seen many near misses. If someone is seriously iIUured or killed there. there will be a lawsuit
against Pelican Bay and every property owner- from A-Z. He said when be bas tried to stop cars people have given him the
tinger. as well
Chairwoman Womble said thank you and acknowledged Mr. Sammons taking notes, so Wilson Miller can address
this safety issue in the Commnnity Planning and traffic cahning study.
Mr. Moffatt said the Board tabled a motion to address and wait Wltil the results of the commnnity planning study are
in. He recalled installation of piano keys was the solution and asked Mr. Lukasz for a status update.
Mr. Lukasz said contractors followed the original design, restriping only, not installing piano keys.
Mr. Moffatt asked if the Board could ask Carmine to patrol the area and give it some extra attention.

Dr. Raia asked Mr. Lukssz what was the cost of the crosswalk at Myra Janco Daniels.
Mr. Lukssz said approximately $40,000.
Mr. Cravens said the North Tmm station crosswalk is one of the IIVJ.& heavily used in the oommunity.
Ideas exchanged amongst Board members concluded the North TIram station crosswalk gets more use than the Myra
Janco Daniels crosswalk. The Myra Janco Daniels crosswalk was designed lor nighttime use.
Mr. Joe Stenza said be has seen Cannine stop driVCTS at tlUs crosswalk and issue tickets.
Mr. Steve Seidel resident of Pelican Bay's San Marino said he discuss<.-d this safety issue last year with this Board.
The only solution is a stop sign or traffic signal Another consideration is most offenders are not residents of Pelican Bay.
Dr. Raia asked what is required to install a stop sign at the crosswalk.
Chairwoman Womble said the lasttirne they looked into installimg a stop sign at the crosswalk, the Department of
Transportation denied it as not warnmted. but they can try again.
Mr. Lukasz said he could check again with 'the Department of Transportation.
Mr. Seidel asked if they could install flashers belore the crosswalk. on each side.
Mr. Cravens said the solution is to install a crosswalk like the one at Myra Janco Daniels Boulevard.
Chairwoman Womble snggested they wait for suggestions from Wilson Miller.
Mr. Derrill said Mr. Moffatt acknowledged the Board tabled this item to wait for the results of the community
planning study. He added that mayhe the Board could ask Wilson Miller to expedite a review oftbis crosswalk and offer
preliminary and interim solutions at the next meeting on December 2. He added the Boord should keep in mind that
modifications must meet unifonn traffic standards and associated liability ussues.
Mr. Sammons said he would brief Jeff Perry of Wilson Miller about the crosswalk at the North Tram station. Mr.
Perry is prescnting the transportation scgment on November 10. Mr. Sammons could not gnaranlee a solution, but at the very
least, an acknowledgement.
Chairwoman Womble asked if a temporary solution to slow cars could be determined.
Mr. Sammons said a temporary solution is more probable.
Mr. Dorrill said staff would contact Carmine aoout patrolling the crosswalk.
Chairwoman Womble said there are no scheduled Safety Committee meetings currently, but in the future, perhaps
the committee could work with Wilson Miller to come up with 8 solution for areas of concern. She explained to the audience
and addressed the residents from Pebble Creek. She thanked the residents aOO acknowledged the problem at the North Tram
station crosswalk and she said the Services Division would try to fmd a timely solution.

responsible choices. The framework for ideas is the Foundation's Strategic Planning Study and Strategic Planning
Committee, the Pelican Bay Services Division Board, staff, and commercial interests within Pelican Bay. Solutions are
intended to enhance and improve already existing quality, value, and environmental resources with the least amount of
disruption to both residential and commercial areas. Alterations made should be subtle and an effort focused on doing things
"smarter" by uncovering what is already there, recycling it, to produce a cost benefit ratio of return. It is critical to maintain
community value. The biggest challenge will be communication and a primary effort will be made to communicate with
residents every step of the way by educating, obtaining input, and consensus, beth verbally and written. The consensus will
evolve into a prioritized community plan. Funding for the study is shared between the Services Division and the Foundation.
Generally, the Services Division is responsible for the public or County-owned land and Foundation for private Foundation
owned lands. Funding is shared based upon ownership and interest. The community improvements planning study is just that,
a study. The outcome will make recommendations only. Implementation is not a part of the study. Mr. Mangan established
the project's objectives with assistance from the Board and Committee members.
Ms. Ronnie Bellone suggested Mr. Mangan use the words "integrated plan," "oneness," or similar term when
describing concept. She said she read it in prior slides but did not see on today's prescntation.
Mr. Mangan said he wished she had made that comment at the end because the second half of the prescntation
would address conceptual integrated solutions.
Mf. Carson Beadle said a significant number of issues are being looked at simultaneously. It is important to explain
what planning is, what implementation is, what is normal sustainable issues that need to be addressed, what is new or
improved, as a result of this study, what is going to become part of the normal routine that is going to be better. Information
should be communicated in a simple manner that creates not only awareness, but creates a feeling of pride that this
community stays ahead of issues and does not wait for them to happen. They should be able to see it because of the steps
involved in the planning: what is a plan, how does it relate to how we do things. how does it relate to how we are planning to
do things in the future.
Mf. Mangan started with how Wilson Miller plans to communicate with the community. He believes
communication with the community is a paramount issue and a challenge because there are so many ideas currently that need
to be organized. One element to address is safety. For example, the community is 25+/- years old and pathway construction.
their slopes, and widths throughout the community are legally non-conforming. Wilson Miller's goal is to come up with a
plan to make the pathways conform to current standards. Ideas and concepts to make them conform are vague right now, but
2

Tuesdav: November to. 2009
as they communicate those ideas and as input from the Board and Committee, and community is received, a more simple
explanation will develop.
Mr. Merlin Lickhalter noted it the Naples Daily news reported that a safety group determined that Florida has the
worst pedestrian safety record in the United States. Bullet number 2 under project objectives there is the issue offiscal
responsibility. It is tied to improvements and one may think this is tied to capital improvements and expenditure of money
for physical things. Most people associate cost-benefit with first costs and as part of this process, life cycle costs need
addressing in a way that people can understand.
Mr. Mangan agreed and said both tirst costs and life cycle costs would go to maintenance costs. As an example, he
used street lighting and bulb replacement as a Iifecycle cost.
Mr. laizzo asked Mr. Mangan how do they get their ideas to the community and then receive community feedback.
Mr. Mangan said they would communicate by holding community town hall meetings and joint meetings such this
meeting. These meetings are built-in to the schedule and updates given at each subsequent meeting. They did hold interviews
with Board and Committee members, and received staff feedback. He made note that the strategic master planning survey
sent to the community is statistically sound and communication has been consistent. Consistent communication is a major
part of their responsibility.
Mr. Bob Uek said Mr. Mangan should communicate and define clearly the deliverables. The community is very
mobile and to communicate with everyone will be a large effort. When Wilson Miller walks away, what is left here in the
community should be communicated so that the average person can understand.
Mr. Jim Hoppensteadt said Wilson Miller does safety and security in the Phase I project objectives and safety and
security should be an overriding consideration and should prohably be included at this point as well.
Dr. Ted Raia said there is a need for an exchange of communication. When they notifY residents, it cannot be
assumed they received the information and they accept and support it. There should be a way to measure acceptance. There
are not many people present at today's meeting, so a public meeting may not be sufficient.
Mr. Mangan agreed. There will be an overlapping of communications uscd. They will usc the Foundation access
channel, Pelican Bay Post, electronic surveys, email. Beyond meetings, face-ta-face conversations are encouraged.
Consistent communication is a major part of their responsibility.
Mf. Neil Dorrill said regarding the fourth objective of delivering sustainable expectations, from his experience, there
are only two places on the west coast of Florida that have effectively combined residential living with high-end retail and
dining amenities and they are the Hyde Park section of Tampa and St. Armand's Circle in Sarasota. Pelican Bay has more to

offer than high-end retail and dining that includes being a resort destination with public safety facilities, i.e., fire, EMS, and
Sheriff and the Philharmonic. He said the focus seems to be on residential homeowners and prospective homebuyers, but
effort should also include the commercial areas. He compared Pelican Bay to Winter Park outside of Orlando.
Mr. Mangan said Winter Park is the most similar and competitive to Pelican Bay in terms of residential and
commercial real estate. Out of the interviews with Board, Committee and staff members, Foundation food and beverage,
management staff actually brought forth the idea that Pelican Bay is a destination resort. Great ideas can come from
anywhere.
The project objectives established by conscnsus at the meeting were integrated plan (oneness of design); define
community communication challenges; address lifecycle costs; schedule and clarity of deliverables; safety and security
priority; bilateral communications and communicate often; commercial and retail considerations; community
interrelationship considerations; and County relationship.
Mr. Bill Klauber said this is an exciting and timely project. He said be did not hear anything about the impact the
project will have on neighboring communities and the County. Pelican Bay has a reputation of being "insolent."
Mr. Mangan said Pelican Bay is largely a destination resort becausc of what Pelican Bay has to offer to others
outwardly that they can take advantage. Pelican Bay is not insular. It is a leader inside the greater community. Communities
now are striving to be like Pelican Bay. Wilson Miller understands the need for wide-ranging thoughts.
Madam Chair Womble addressed Mr. Klauber's comment about the relationship with the County. She understands
the issues with the County in regards to the conservation areas of Pelican Bay, but in this particular instance, the County has
given its "blessing" by approving an inter-local agreement with the Foundation, which joins Services Division and
Foundation funds to and working together as a group, rather than duplicating services and contradicting projects.
Mr. Jim Hogan, resident of Pelican Bay referred to Mr. Klauber's comment about neighboring communities and
agreed everyone can benefit by working together.
A resident of Pelican Bay said not everyone in Pelican Bay is "high end" and suggested be mindful of that.
Suggested that email communications explain one or two major points, make sure the community understands it, let them ask
questions and give feedback.
Mr. Mangan said the process is critical. Communication will work best if done by topic on point, response to a
subject matter specifically about one element. The plan is too large to address in one or two emails or communications.
Wilson Miller respects there is a vast array of incomes in Pelican Bay and fiscal responsibility is a part of their charge. The
ultimate plan cannot be a burden to anyone.

Tuesdav. November 10. 2009
Mr. Beadle asked if Wilson Miller has detennined elements that are a part of everyday maintenance that because of
this planning study, Pelican Bay is likely to do better and more cost effectively.
Mr. Mangan said yes. They have been observing the community and a small project such as trimming trees, can go
on a "to do" list and be implemented immediately. Other elements, such as what to do with pathways, this study, for example,
would make a recommendation to widen the pathways and provide best practices to use to implement that recommendation.
He introduced Wilson Miller's transportation project manager, Jeff Perry.
Mf. Jeff Perry explained that in Phase I, his job is to identifY transportation related issues to consider. They are using
a "reconnaissance, research and review" approach. They are continuing to collect infonnation by observation and from
public comments. They are working with County staff, EMS and others on traffic calming studies. There are two areas he is
concerned: what is in the travel right of way and what is not. They must understand framework, infrastructure, condition,
regulatory restrictions, whether the land is private or public, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and others, as well as
identifY elements that utilize these areas. There are transportation-related safety issues, alternative transportation modes, such
as connectivity to commercial and residential areas, to address.
Mr. Steve Sammons explained his job to identifY issues with landscape and plant material growth. Overgrowth has
created problems with lighting and pathways, updating general plant material in the common areas, and higher maintenance
issues. They have been observing and doing an inventory of common area plant material and their condition. They are
reviewing maintenance profiles with Mf. Lukasz, specifically how much time is spent mowing, trimming, fertilization, and
pesticide practices. They will review irrigation practices and equipment. They will look at safety issues, i.e., overgrowth and
visibility in medians; efficiency and cost-benefit factors, i.e., replace sod with plant material requiring less water and
irrigation; and apply consistency and best management practices when possible.
Mr. Mangan said safety, security, and ADA compliance issues cover more than one issue or element, i.e.,
recommendations for solutions to dark areas along the roads and the U.S. 41 benn may be lighting, walls, or security
cameras. There is a conflicted use pattern currently in the community and they will look at all primary and secondary
possibilities for improvements.
Mr. Lickhalter said security issues go farther than transportation issues and said several years ago, the community
attempted to get some infonnation about crime and the Sheritrs office did not provide useful infonnation. Some elements
may be outside of the scope of the project, but not be forgotten. Establish some ground rules as to how Foundation staff
makes aesthetic changes to the community.
Mr. Mangan agreed and said those decisions do become the standard for the community.

PelJ.can Bay Services Division Board & Pelican Bay Foundation Strategic Planning Committee Joint Workshop
Tuesdav. November 10. 2009
Ms. Noreen Murray said as this information is distributed, some community misconceptions might develop. Inform
the community that before implementation of any project, it will be discussed and then approved by the entity or property
owner responsible, the Foundation, Services Division or jointly.
Mr. Mangan said project objectives, cost expectations, period for implementation would come to a consensus before
any money is spent.
Mr. Jerry Moffatt asked what the official name of the project is because it seems to be associated with landscaping.
Mr. Mangan said the project is a community improvement master plan and Wilson Miller will convey that clearly to
the community.
Mr. Levy said this should be a "proposed" community improvement master plan.
Mr. Mangan said he agrees, but for project purposcs, this is a community improvement plan. Their task is to develop
a plan and they do not want to give the impression that input can wait.
Mr. Moffatt said regarding replacing sod with other plant material, there are 3,000 dogs in the community and they
could be creating a smelly problem.
Mr. Mangan said there are many ways to address problems and they do have to be careful not to create others, but
sometimes, one solution can be effective for more than one issue.
Ms. Rose Mary Everett asked about noise abatement was not mentioned and suggested it be addressed specifically.
Mr. Mangan said although not discussed today, noise abatement is one issue on the list.
Mr. Moffatt suggested meetings be publicly noticed using the language, "two or more members of the Services
Division may attend" the meeting.
Mr. Mangan said they would notice the public meetings properly and the meeting adjourned.

He proposed funds in the amount of approximately $200,000 targeted for spring
and summer advertising and promotional campaigns be redirected to the winter
campaign to capture the greatest amount of seasonal business possible.
Fran Vaccaro of Paradise Advertising provided an overview of the proposed
advertising campaign via a slide presentation noting the following:
. TV ads as well as online advertising.
· Will target the New York and Chicago markets
. Will focus on the leisure market.
· A new web page will be introduced, www.myparadisesavings.com
for a promotion entitled "Paradise Priced Perfectly, Warm up with
Hot Hotel Deals" which will be linked to lodging offers from
participating vendors.
Mr. Medwedeff voiced a concern that the revenue may be affected by at least a
10 percent decline and requested clarification on the status of the emergency
funds.
Jack Wert noted the following:
· $200,000 of emergency funds remain for FY 09 which will be utilized in
the proposed campaign, as well as $200,000 diverted from the spring
.
summer campargn
Mr. Medwedeff noted it is a positive approach and also recommended expanding
the target market from New York and Chicago to include New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc.
Staff will provide a plan at the next meeting if the annual revenue projections
decline from 3 percent to the 5 - 10 percent range.
Mr. Hendel moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners approve

markets discussed (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida etc.) Second by
Mr. Hill.
Mr. Hendel noted he could not support the motion and recommended analyzing
how the approved campaign progresses, and re-evaluate the market at the next
meeting. Staff should propose a detailed campaign on how and when additional
funds would be expended.
Mr. Wert will need to review the budget and possible affects on the Committee's
recommendation. The additional expenditure proposed would need Board of
County Commissioners approval and could not be implemented untillhe end of
February.
Discussion ensued if Staff should prepare a campaign to be implemented at a
future date if necessary.
Mr. Medwedeff amended the motion to authorize Staff and Paradise
Advertising to develop an additional marketing campaign (for the New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, etc.) and identify thefunds neededfor this effort
and present the Plan back to the Tourist Development Council Committee. In

re-allocating funds. He recommends the TDC review the expenditures of Beach
Re-nourishment as the revenues are generated by the Hotel Industry.
Joyce McFarland, President, Marco Island Chamber of Commerce, stated

quarter of the calendar year will continue to experience an economic downturn.
Other markets are actively pursuing business to capture their share oflhe market.
Keith Dameron, Marco Island Chamber of Commerce Member addressed the
Council and noted many of the businesses are small businesses and are being
adversely affected by the downturn. It is unprecedented that businesses are
struggling to survive the "season." He expressed concern that the slow down in
tourism is prohibiling the turnaround in the real estate market as well.

Chambers by providing information racks at the area of the Visitor Centers as

Other Counties in the region work in a very similar manner, however Lee County
does have a grant program for area Chambers' members related to Tourism
Marketing.
Mr. Hendel recommended one entity within the County handle "destination
information" and recommended a Task Force be convened to analyze the different
entities funclions and delermine if a more streamlined process is possible.
Jack Wert noted the entities do provide separate missions. The CVB mission is
to promote the destination outside of Collier County. The mission of the
Chambers of Commerce is to assist visitors who have already reached the
destination. He acknowledged improvements of slatistical data collections are an
avenue that may want to be pursued.
The Council recognized the exceptional value and support network the Chambers

projections.
The reductions will be accomplished by postponing engineering on certain
Planned Projects such as long term solution to the stabilization of Wiggins Pass,
reduce the scope of the Marco Island and Tigertail Beach studies, etc. The data
will be re-evaluated at the end of the 15( quarter (calendar year) to determine if
any further adjustments are necessary.
Discussion ensued on the status of the Sludy for the long-term stabilization of
Wiggins Pass noting a Master plan has been posted on the Coastal Advisory

1. Section I
a. Klages Research Report
Dr. Klages of Data Research Services, Inc. provided a Report on the
"February 2009 Visitor Profile" dated March 23, 2009 noting the following:
. Decreases in Group Market Sales are making targeting the leisure
market a higher priority.
. FY09/10 international bookings have increased 15%
. Group meeting statistics are difficult to obtain, as they are confidential
statistics available only from Hotel management. They require 1 on 1
private meetings with management.
Mr. Hendel expressed concern over the Report in 3 areas:
1. There are no negative comments from visitors provided.
2. Do the statistics represent day-trippers, and/or overnight visitors?
3. There are no conclusions or recommendations contained in the Report
Dr. Klages noted:
1. Negative commenls are a small percenlage of overall comments and relayed
to Staff The Report provided is a public document and Staff is cautious not
to create an undue negative appearance for potential visitors to the area. The
underlying negative themes are the higher cost of visiting the area in
comparison to olher destinations, the high cost of transportation to and from
the airport and waiting times for seating at restaurants. In future meetings,
he will provide the "theme" of negative comments to the Council's so any
appropriate actions can be taken.
2. Overnight visitors are included in the statistics. Day-tripper statislics are
available and will be provided in the next Report in an "eslimaled" format.
3. Recommendations are made to Staff on a monthly basis, and will be
provided to the Council.
The Report continued:
. There is a large potential to capture additional visitors from the
Canadian and European market.
. The possibility of obtaining Group Marketing Statistics should be
considered by the necessary parties (Staff and Holel Management,
etc.)
. The Convention and Visitors Bureau Website:
(J:illp:llwww.paradisecoast.com) ranked low for usability by recent
Focus Groups and improvements are underway to enhance the site.
. Focus Groups indicated high quality landscaping is important in the
areas of lodging, restaurants, retail shops, etc., however, as the
distance away from these areas increase the importance of the
landscaping decreases (i.e. highway landscaping, etc.)

potentially available, however the use of these funds requires approval
by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
. A Reserve of approximately $700,000 available in the Promotions and
Advertising fund which utilization does not require the approval of the
BCe.
. An increase in the Tourist Tax Rate from 4 to 5% would provide an
additional dedicated source for promotions; however Mr. Wert does
not recommend this increasc due to the current economic climate.
. The Marco Island Museum will become a category C-1 Facility
(Operated by the County Museum Department) and upon its

Ed Dion of Nahors, Giblin and Nickerson addressed the Council requesting the
County join a potential lawsuit initiated against major hotel reservation web sites
(Expedia, etc.). These web sites provide rooms to consumers via Internet
reservations and collect County Tourist Tax on the amount paid to the various
hotels/motels for the room. The room is resold to consumers at a different rate;
the suit will determine if the provider should pay the County Tourist Tax on the
rate paid by the consumer or the rate paid to the hotel/motel by the provider.

He requested the TDC recommend to the Board of County Commissioners the
County employ his firm to represent the County in the matter.
.
Mr. Medwedejf arrived at 8:49 a.m.
Colleen Greene, Assistant County Attorney noled Jeff Klatzkow, County
Attorney recommends supporting the litigation.
Council discussion occurred on the merits of the case.
Mr. Dion noted:
. The suit has been in process for several months
. To date, Leon County has agreed to participate and there are on-going
discussions with other Counties.
. Due to pending Federal Legislation regarding the Internet Tax Act, he
recommends the suit be filed by mid-summer.
Mr. Popoff moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners authorize
Mr. Dion's Law Firm represent the County in (the above) matter.
Without a second, the motion was not considered.
Mr. Hill noted on-line booking services provide the market a considerable
amount of business and the issue should be fully investigated before a decision is
made.
Mr. Sorey moved to continue the item to the next meeting pendingfurther
information and analysis by Hotel representatives, etc.
Mr. Dion and Mr. Wert noted an estimate has been provided which indicates
Florida Counties may be entitled up to $180M. The State of Florida has not
addressed the issue due to lobbying activities by the providers of the web sites and
the companies are located out of State.
Chairman Fiala asked the following questions:
. Has the Florida Association of Counties taken a position on the issue?
. If the suit moves forward, can a County join later?
. Could Mr. Dion provide information for the Council to study the
issue?
Mr. Dion responded that the Florida Association of Counties has not laken a
position on the issue; the County may join later and he can provide any
information requested as available.
Mr. Popoff noted he sympathizes with the hoteliers and would not want to make
a decision Ihat negatively impacted them, but expressed concern on the concept of
lobbyists controlling the path oflegislation that affects taxpayers.

2. FY 2010 TDC Category "B" Marketing Grant Requests
Discussion on Grant Guidelines
Jack Wert, Tourism Director, submitted the guidelines for multi-year applicants
for funding percentages, etc. The guidelines are Tourist Development Council
Guidelines, which may be amended. He noted all the Category-C grant requests
have been significantly reduced as recommended by the Review Committee.
Mr. Sorey noted the guidelines have been strict on the area of Out-of-Cycle
applications. An item such as the Marco Island Museum should not be considered
without an application.
He recommended the Council follow any applicable guidelines or amend the
guidelines for application requirements.
The Council reached consensus on reviewing procedures for grant applications
and guidelines.
Mr. Medwedeff expressed concern the budget projections do not address enough
of a reduction in Tourist Tax collections based on the current economic climate.
Jack Wert clarified the current budget projections (for FY 2010) of$13M have
been decreased by 10% from the previous year's (FY 2009) original budget. The
department "holds back" 5% of the revenue, so the FY 2010 proposed
expenditures may incorporate a total 15% decline in revenues over the previous
years (FY 2009) original budget.
After review, Mr. Medwedeff expressed concern on the estimates.
Jack Wert stated the estimates are provided by the Budget Office and
Convention and Visitors Bureau and will review them with the Budget Office.
Mr. Hendel noled that he has a conflict of interest for items regarding the
Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida and the Naples Chamber of Commerce.
In addition he expressed concern over the "non-uniformity" of the grant
applications.
Mr. Medwedeffrecommended, based on Mr. Wert's input, the revenuelbudget
estimates (for FY 2010) be reduced by 10 percent.
Other Council members recommended proceeding with the applications on a
case-by-case basis.
Chairman Fiala requested the speakers present for the grant applications address
the Council before proceeding.

Historical Museum (MIHS) Budgetary Considerations" dated June 10,2009 and
copy of "Marco Is/and Museum License Agreement" between the Marco Island
Historical Society and the Board of County Commissioners (BCe) dated May 13,
2003. He outlined the funding request for $250,000 for the construction of
display cases and noted:
. The Marco Island Museum did not request the grant; County Staff
requested it.
With regard to the Licensing Agreement:
. Article 5, Item A. states "Upon successful fund raising by the MIHS,
the County, prior to the start of construction shall: (condition #7)
"Determine County staffing and budget requirements to construct
displays and operate and maintain the museum and present the budget
requirements to the TDC and the Board of Commissioners. "
· Article 5, Item 8.3 states "Upon completion of the museum building,
the County shall "Construct the museum displays using County funds
and:" (condition #5) "provide full time staffing andfundsfor the
continuing administration. operation and maintenance of the museum
as the budget allows. "
He continued:
· In January of2008 (January 28, 2008 letter to BCe), the MIHS
notified the County they had met the conditions of the agreement
(successful fundraising, etc.)
. The County is obligated to construct the displays and operate the
museum.
. The MIHS assumed the County had built up the funds for the
construction of the displays. He acknowledged the operating and
administration states "as the budget allows."
· The MIHS is willing to work with the County on the administration of
the museum but recommends the Tourist Tax Rate be increased
temporarily to 5% to cover the expenditures required for the Museum.
Mr. Sorey requested clarification on the definition of "County Funds" as
provided in the Agreement and ifTOC may commit funds for the construction of
the displays.
Bill Perdichizzi noted at the time of the agreement it was assumed future TOC
funds would be available for the construction of the displays, however the County
could commit any funds as they see fit. The above referenced letter to Jim Mudd
addresses the issue.
Colleen Greene stated she has not fully reviewed the agreement and cannot
provide an opinion ifthe agreement requires utilization of TOC funds. The
Council could make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners
based on the current economic climate.
It was noted the Museum buildings are under construction and should be
completed by January 20 I 0 and the displays are necessary to house exhibits from
the Smithsonian Museum, University of Pennsylvania, etc.

June 22, 2009
Discussions occurred on how the museum will be staffed and operate.
Ron Jamro, Director, Collier County Museums addressed the Council noting
the County has been working with the MIHS since 2003 and the Society far
exceeded the timing for fund raising. He agreed current budget constraints will
impact the operation of the museum and existing museums. The County is
confident that arrangements have been made with the MIHS to operate the Marco
Island Museum in 2010. There are no funds in the budget available for the
construction of the new display cases and staff recommended TDC Grant funds be
utilized.
Mr. Sorey noted he supports the County museums. They currently receive 22%
of the first 2% of Tourist Tax and there is no application or description of the
proposed expenditures. He requested clarification if the Museum budget transfers
line item of $295,700 in the Executive Summary includes the requested $250,000.
Gary Vincent, Collier County Museum noted the proposed budget incorporates
$80,000 for operating the museum in 2010; there is no provision for expenditures
for construction of display cases. The transfer line item is for displays at other
county museums, not the requested $250,000 for MIHS.
Mr. Popoff noted the MIHS has fulfilled their obligations, referred to the
agreement and recommended the County meet its obligation as required.
Mr. Popoff moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners sit down
with MIHS and honor the agreementfrom 2003 or determine a mutually
acceptable solution.
The Council determined speakers for grant applications were being heard and at
this time a motion was not prudent so without a second it was not considered.
Michelle K1inowski, Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce noted the grant
Request for the Chamber of Commerce is a one-time request for the Naples Art
Festival, normally held in March, to relocate from downtown Naples to North
Naples and be held in January. In season traffic is down, and with recent
discussions for year round promotion of the area Ihe Chamber was hoping the
TDC would support the request.
Mr. Sorey noted the event is not within the "out of season" time line (May -
December 15) for the awarding of a grant and violates current TDC procedures.
Break: 10:00 a.m.
Reconvened: 10:11 a.m.
Ellen Krier Executive Director of Southwest Florida Land Preservation
Trust noted the grant request is for a Gordon River Greenway electronic public
relations campaign. In response to the County Attorney's concerns the funds will

be utilized to create a website and online social network. A successful fundraiser
was held for the projecl on April 8 with future fundraisers planned.
Elaine Hamilton, United Arts Council noted statistics indicate visitors to
cultural facilities occupy hotel rooms 62% longer than other visitors. The grant
request is for funds that will be used to create monthly event calendars to be
supplied to businesses, visitor centers, the hospitality industry, etc.
Jack Wert noted the Review Committee recommended a grant amount of
$24,000 and staff recommends $9,600 based on the guidelines for multi-year
applicants. Multi-year requests are awarded on a yearly percentage reduction
concept so parties find other means of funding.
Joe Cox, Children's Museum of Collier County stated previous year's funds
were utilized for a social media website and a traveling exhibit. The funds
requested will continue to be utilized for promoting Collier County outside the
County.
Joel Kessler, Naples Art Assoc. noted in the past several years they have
received $50,000 annually in TOC funds for promoting art fairs, etc. Many
visitors are from outside of the County and attendance continues to grow. Their
grant request was for $100,000, staff and the Review Committee recommended
$70,000 and indications are TOC to approve $25,000.
The Council requested clarification on how the Review Committee and staff
recommendations for funding were determined.
Jack Wert noted the grant amounts were based on a subjeetive review for criteria
such as the "Best Return on Investment."
Brian Holley, Naples Botanical Garden noted past TOC funding has been
instrumental in the operation/expansion of the Botanical Gardens. Their grant
request was for $250,000, the Review Committee recommended $120,500 and
requested additional funds be awarded above the recommendation.
The funds will be utilized for promotions as the Bolanical Gardens have a
worldwide visitor base that occupies area hotel rooms.
Jill Berry, Naples Botanical Garden noted the Botanical Gardens meets Ihe goal
of providing "heads and beds" to the region and the organization promotes Collier
County outside of the area.
David Tetzlaff, Naples Zoo noled the grant request is for "Summer ofSeuss" and
"Fall into Wild" events. The Naples Zoo generates 26,000 hotel nights on an
annual basis with a total economic impact of $27M. 2008 funds were utilized for
the Black Bear Hammock; no funds were requested in 2009.
Patrick White, South Florida National Park Trust, Trustee noted the grant
will be utilized for the creation of exhibits for the new Big Cypress Welcome

Center and fundraising events. It is a one-time request and he recommended the
$22,500 recommended by the Review Committee be awarded (as opposed to the
Staff recommendation of $15,000). For every dollar granted, it will be matched 2
times.
Howard Isaacson, South Florida National Park Trust, Trustee requested the
IDC support funds for the installation of exhibits at the Welcome Center, which
is a gateway to public lands in Collier County.
Don Finefrock, Executive Director South Florida National Park Trust noted
the Welcome Center is under construction and will open in 2010. The funding
request is not linked to a specific exhibit, rather many exhibits (Amazing Mosaic),
etc. Many visitors to the Park are from outside of Collier County.
Myra Daniels, Naples Museum of Art noted the Museum of Art has the largest
collection of Mexican Art in the Country. There will be a Lalino festival planned
for October. The funds will be utilized to promote the event outside Collier
County.
Colleen Greene stated she has been informed Mr. Hendel has a conflict of
interesl with the Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida and the Greater Naples
Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Sorey has a conflict of interest with the Naples
Zoo.
She will ensure they file the proper forms. She reminded the Council that any
member who has a conflict of interest should not participate in that items

a. Naples Chamber of Commerce
Mr. Sorey moved (to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners) to
notfund the grant request as it is outside thefunding time (as established by
the Program). Second by Mr. Miller.
Discussion occurred if the Council should begin to consider funding grant
requests on a year round basis, as a majority of business is generated during
"in season" times.
Jack Wert noted the funding recommendations in the Executive Summary are
less than the aggregate amount available for funding. Funds are held back in
case an organization comes forward requesting funding during the Fiscal
Year.

XI. Audience Input and Discussion
~peakers
Jane Rackley, Museum of Everglades read a letter from Patty Huff, President of the
Museum of Everglades into the record in response to statemenls "Museums are not
Tourist Drivers." From her experience and research, 95% of the visitors from the
museum are from outside Collier County. The tourists visit year round from all
regions of the world with the numbers increasing over the past 3 years. In her
opinion, the County Museums should be awarded a full support of Tourist
Development Taxes. She submitted data in support oftheir position.
Nick Hale, President, Friends of Collier County Museums, addressed the Council
and expressed concerns Jack Wert advised the Council, "Collier County was the only
County out of the 67 Counties in Florida that give operating funds to museums." Mr.
Hale's research indicales at least 23 different Counties utilize TDC funds for
operating County Museums. He expressed concern that Mr. Wert's conveyance of
the recommendation to the TDC was inappropriate.
Jack Wert, Tourism Director noted to the best of his recollection he never stated
'no' County in Florida utilizes TDC funds for operating museums. He researched the
Counties competitive with Collier County's (coastal jurisdictions). Most of the
information indicated the TDC supports County Museums via Grants for Events, etc.,
not funding operating expenses. Monroe Counly does utilize $80,00010 offset the
salaries for museum employees in Ihe Key West Areas. The area of study was from
Clearwater, southerly along the Coast to Palm Beach County.
Mr. Sorey noted the recommendation for the museum funding issue was provided by
the TDC Subcommittee, nol Mr. Wert.
Homer HeUer, noted the minutes from Ihe TDC Subcommittee minutes indicate Mr.
Wert indicated "no other county provides money for operating expenses for
museums" and their data indicates this is incorrect. Last year, Lee County provided
funds for signage for the County Museums and other counties utilize funds for the
"payroll" of County Museums. The (citizens) mandate for the original vote for
approving TDC funds included funding County Museums.
Mr. Sorey requested the research provided by the various parties be restricted to
'TDC funds utilized for operating expenses of County Museums" (not signage, Grant
funding, etc.) In addition, the research should include the percentages of General
Funds utilized by other Counties for "operating expenses."
Tim Allen, Friends of Collier County Museums, re-iterated the original vote for
adoption of a Tourist Tax included funding County Museums. The County Museums
provide a vast array of historic programs which serve as a greal educational benefit 10
school children (10,000 school children annually are bussed to the museums).

September 28, 2009 r
There are currently no funds available for the operating expenses, should the TDC
terminate the funding.
Mr. Medwedeff noted the recommendation takes into consideration the timing of the
funding by starting the reductions in FY 2011, and phasing them out over 3 years to
allow time for other funding sources to be developed.
Jill Barry, Naples Botanical Garden expressed concern the TDC may re-direct
funds from the Non-County Museum C-2 Grant funds to County Museums which
would have a major impact on the Non-County Museums.
Georgia Hiller, Candidate for Board of County Commissioners, 2nd District
recommended a greater allocation ofTDC funds be directed to marketing and
promotion. She expressed concern over the amount ofTDC funds expended for
beach projects and maintenance. Other counties do not expend as high of a percentage
ofTDC funds for beach maintenance. She recommended the county consider other
sources for funding beach maintenance and re-examine beach park funding in
general. The museum funding should remain, as museums promote tourism.
Jack Wert clarified the original vote for forming the TDC in 1992 provided funding
allocations of 60% for beach maintenance and 40% for tourism events/promolions.
In 1998, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) voted to utilize Tourist Taxes to
fund Ihe County Museums operating expenses. Collier County residents did not vote
to utilize TDC funds for operating museums. Prior to 1998 the General Fund was
utilized to fund the operating of County Museums.
Ms. Becker noted the Tourist Development Council does not debate the value of the
museums, and their positive contribution to the community and tourists. The issue is,
how should the operaling expenses be funded?
Chairman Fiala stated recommendations (regarding Tourisl Tax funding from their
August 24, 2009 meeting) are scheduled to be heard by the BCC October 27,2009.
VI. New Business
1. FY 10 TDC Category B Grant Agreements
Jack Wert presented the Executive Summary "Recommendation that the Board
of County Commissioners approves and authorizes the Chairman to sign two
grant agreementsjiir FY 201 0 Development Tax Category B Grants totaling
$49,000" dated September 28,2009. He noted in reference to the Southwest
Florida Land Preservation Trust Application:
. There are no employees, so the requirement for workman's
compensation will be removed.

'''maintenance. ~.

of the $571,000 previously recommended by Ihe TDC.
. Based on "carry forward funds," from this account, staffis confident
the amount of funding recommend will be available when Ihe funds
are disbursed.
. If ample funding is not available, the County does have the option to
reduce the grant funding pro rala, or in an emergency request a portion
of the funds be returned to the County after the fact.
. Currently, Tourist Tax collections are 18% down from the previous
year.
. Staffs revenue projection for FY 2010 is $12.4M, equal to FY 2009.
Mr. Medwedeffnoted the hotel industry projections indicate a nationwide
decrease in revenue of3 - 6 percent for 2010 over 2009.
Mr. Popoff noted the Marco Island Hislorical Society request is significantly less
than their contract with Ihe County for funding and hopes the Board of County
Commissioners honors the full contract.
Mr. Sorey stated he has a conflict of interest with the Naples Zoo, Inc.
application.
Mr. Sorey moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners approves
and authorizes the Chairman to sign eight grant agreements for FY 2010
Development Tax Category C-2 Grants totaling $531,000. Said Grants as
depicted in the Executive Summary referenced above, with the exception of the

approval orthe Marketing Strategy jor an additional $1 Million in funds from the
TDe recommendations to be reviewed by the Bee on October 27, 2009" dated
September 28, 2009.
~iscussion occurred on how the Marketing Campaign can continue after the 2
year re-direction of beach re-nourishment/emergency funds (should this be
approved by the BCC)
It was noted the loss of these funds could be offset by:
. Funds from the "returns on investment" due to increased marketing
and promotions (based on research data services projections provided
in the above referenced ES).
. An allernate source of funding for the operation of County Museums.
. The interest earned on TOC funds currently expended by the Clerk of
Courts being returned to the TOC for their use.
Fran Vaccaro of Paradise Advertising presented a slide show on a marketing
campaign for FY 2010 including how the additional $IM could be incorporated
into the plan for year round marketing.
Jack Wert noted the plan is an "incremental campaign" and if the BCC does not

become available (return of the interest on the TOC funds to the budget, etc.),
adjustments may be made.

II. Old Business
A. Presentation regarding the State's Re-entry Program - Pamela Donelson
The purpose of the presentation was to clarify the State Probation Department's
position regarding its reversal of the "zero tolerance" policy.
. "Zero Tolerance" pushed the State's incarceration rate to an intolerable level
. Secretary McNeil stated the emphasis is on public safety: re-entry is not just
about inmates
. Evidence-based practices are being implemented to deal with the soaring
crime rates
. Department's Mission Statement: 'To protect the public and ensure the
safety of Departmenl personnel; to give proper care and supervision of all
otTenders under the Department's jurisdiction, and to assist as appropriate"
. Offenders considered for re-entry are those who present the least amount of
risk to the public concerning recidivism
. New Re-entry Mission Statement: "To provide inmates and offenders with
comprehensive programs and services that will assist in their successful re-
entry into the community thereby reducing recidivism while enhancing
public safety and promoting post-release success."
. It is not economically feasible to build the scheduled 20 prisons at a cost of
$40M each and to operate/maintain each prison at a cost of$13M - only six
prisons are scheduled to be built
. It is anticipated that the inmate population will increase by 24% in the next
5 years to 129,328
. Education and drug treatment programs are effective at reducing recidivism
(return to prison within three years after release)
. Probation otlicers arc being trained regarding motivational interviewing and
using positive reinforcement techniques
. Partnerships have becn established with the Sheriffs Otlice, the David
Lawrcnce Center, the County Re-entry Coalition, and the 20th Judicial
Circuit
. The Career Service of SW Florida is teaching offenders how to interview,
how to dress for an interview, how to prepare a resume
. Collier County's Drug Court Program is very successful
. Community Corrections collected $90M last year: approximately $25M
was allocated to the State's General Revenue Fund, approximately $35M
was returned to victims of crime. and the remainder was distributed to the
various Counties

B. Jail "Snap-Shot" Report - Chief Scott Salley
. Inmate population has declined over 15% in the past two years
. Criminal Alien Task Force has been successful in identifying criminal
illegal aliens for transport to the Immigration & Customs Enforcement
nCE") detention facilities at Krome Avenue by the U.S. Marshall's Otlice
. Number of documented gang members has increased from 35 to 59 (average
daily population)
. Sexual otl'enders registration program was instituted; there are approximately
615 registered otl'enders in Collier County
. Prison Rape Elimination Act ("PREA"):
o Program was established in 2003 and staff training is in process
o PREA standards are higher; additional cameras will be required
o Collect and disseminate intormation
. Influenza virus:
o Not yet a serious problem in Collier County
o Isolation/quarantine plan is in place if outbreak occurs
. Re-Integration Program:
o Lack of employment is a problem
o Vocational training is encouraged
. Suggestion: Form a Re-Integration Subcommittee
oRe-integration is a community problem, not just a law enforcement
problem
o Sponsors are needed to meet released inmate and assisl in their
development of basic social skills
. i.e., Bus tokens and schedules are provided tor fmmokalee
inmates
Sheriff Rambosk reiterated Ihe position of the Sheritrs Office: to ensure those
individuals who should be incarcerated are incarcerated, and to obtain treatment
and/or education for inmates to deter recidivism.
III. New Business
A. Update on Collier County's Criminal Alien Task Force - Cmdr. Mike
Williams and Lt. Keith Harmon
Sheriff Rambosk stated in 2007, the Collier County Sheriffs Office recognized
that approximately one-quarter of the jail population consisted of illegal criminal
aliens.
Statute 287(g), under the Immigration and Nationality Act, permitted local agencies
to enler into agreements with the Department of Ilomeland Security to obtain
authority tor immigration entorcement within their jurisdiclion. In June, 2007,
CCSO entered into a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") with the U.S. Attorney
General and ICE ("Immigration and Customs Enforcement"). The CCSO developed
two programs: the Criminal Alien Task Force ("CA IT') and the Criminal Alien
Investigation Unit ("CAll!")
Commander Mike Williams and Lieutenant Keith Harmon outlined the strategy
for each program component:

CATF:
. ICE supervised training of selected CCSO staff who have received
certification and security clearances
. The CA TF Corrections Coordinator and the CAIU Law Enforcement
Coordinalor are liaisons to ICE for the CCSO
. CCSO outlined the Agency's policy regarding arrcst criteria, data
documentation, and procedural issues
. Community outreach and education is a key component
o Victims and witnesses of crimes will not be targets of the
immigration law enforcement
o Goal: to reassure migrant community and citizens in general
concerning "racial profiling"
o Aliens have been interviewed and identified from more than 50
countries
CAJU:
. Identify violent criminal aliens
o Gang members; felony offenders; sexual predators
. Goal: to apprehend individuals who represent greatest threat to Collier
County residents
. Identify other criminal aliens:
o identify theft, narcotics, fraud
. If a criminal alien is in custody for local charges, the imposed sentence is
completed before the individual is transferred to ICE.
. Educate eommunity -- especially local employers concerning the hiring of
authorized workers
(The Program Report, "Partnership.fiJr a Sater Community, " was distributed.)
Commissioner Coyle commented the program presents a great opportunity for the
Stale to positively impact the crime rate and the enormous cost for incarceration.
He was concerned that the Slate appeared not to be interested and did not offer any
support to Collier County and other Florida Counties.
Pamela Donelson stated the State's emphasis is on identifying sex offenders and/or
violent offenders. The State's Probation Department has a classification process in
place to identify and targct illegal criminal aliens in jails.
Discussion ensued regarding thc polilical aspects of the program, i.e., "the chilling
effect." It was suggested the CCSO continue to makc prcsentations to the Sheriffs'
Departments in other Counties in order to promote awareness of the program which
is also being used in Manatee, Brevard, Duval and Bay Counties.
IV. Member Comments/Suggestions
Commissioner Coyle asked for discussion of Chief Sally's suggestion to form a Re-
Integration Committee.

It was suggested Ihe Board of Counly Commissioners address and establish a Coalition
for Re-Integration, as has been done successfully in the Hillsborough/St. Petersburg area,
since there are so many components to re-entry. The involvement of community
agencies and vocational schools is critical.
Commissioner Coyle suggested creating a Subcommittee to tirst define the scope of the
issue and establish parameters, and then decide whether the Subcommittee should be
retained under the PSSC or deferred to the Board of County Commissioners. Various
members volunteered. He cautioned about observing the Sunshine Law and holding
public meetings.
Mike Sheffield will contact the volunteers via email with options regarding meeling
dates, times, and location.

Calculation of Frinlle and Indirect Rates
Source:
CCAS Indirect Cost Rate (http://www.ccas.com/cgovcon.htm)
CCAS produces and supports financial and government project accounting software
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Indirect Costs from
The Division of Financial Advisory Services
( http://ocm.od.nih.gov/dfas/faqindirectcosts.htm )
What is the difference between a direct cost and an indirect cost?
A direct cost is any cost that can be easily identified with a specific project
(grant/contract): e.g., Salaries and Wages, Materials & Supplies,
Subcontracts, Consultants.
An indirect cost is any cost that cannot be easily identified (or it would not
be cost effective to identify) to a specific project, but identified with two or
more final cost objectives. There are three types of indirect costs:
Frinqe Benefits: services or benefits provided to employees, e.g., Health
Insurance, Payroll Taxes, Pension Contribution, Paid Absences, etc
Overhead: indirect costs associated with the performance of a project,
e.g., Facility Costs (rent, heat, electricity, etc.), General Laboratory
Supplies, office supplies, etc.
G&A: indirect costs associated with the overall management of an
organization, e.g., President's Office, Human Resources Office, Accounting
Office, etc.
Determininll an Indirect-Cost Rate
An indirect-cost rate is simply the ratio of indirect costs to some base or activity (that
is, direct labor costs, labor hours, number of employees, space footage or total direct
costs).
We will use the ratio of indirect costs (excluding fringe) to direct labor costs to
determine the actual indirect rate. (Overhead and G&A)
The ratio of total fringe benefits to total salaries will be used to determine the actual
fringe rate. (Fringe Benefits)

Facts to be noted for this Annual Budqg!
1 Included in Employee Benefits Salaries are sick, vacation, and holiday pay.
Provision is also included for adjustments (ie: merit increase, reclass, etc.)
In the event of any adjustments, transfers can be made to the corresponding
project within the same expense line. As always, transfers between Expense
Lines will require a Budget Amendment.
2 As per the Auditors, the Fund Balance must be shown in the Budget as 'carry over
fund balance' in the revenue portion and as 'reserve for operations' in the expense
portion of the Budget.
3 It has been recommended by the auditors that the Council designate a portion
of the fund balance for emergencies. In that regard, $550,200 was been
appropriated thus far and the reserved fund balance will be increased each year
until our goal of a six month reserve is met.
4 Fringe and Indirect reimbursed by MPO and NEP grants are shown as reallocation
from Council since their budgets are separated from the RPC budget. A copy of
the Calculation of the IndirecUFringe Rates policy approved by the Council is
attached. The Indirect rate prorates the overhead incurred by the RPC over each
active projecUagency. These expenses include, but are not limited to, facility costs,
office supplies, and support staff.

and as 'reserve for operations' in the expense portion of the budget.
**See note #4. The Indirect rate prorates the overhead expenses incurred by the RPC over each active projecVagency.
This is accomplished by a reallocation of the expenses from General to Special Revenue. These expenses include, but
are not limited to, facility costs, office supplies, and support staff

ANNUAL BUDGET FY 2009/2010
Management Judgement and Report
In accordance with the Council's rules, the annual budget recommendations for the fiscal
year beginning October 1, 2009 and ending September 30, 2010, are hereby presented
for Council consideration
The Budget is being presented as part of a 5 year plan as per the recommendation of the
Auditors. The Budget reflects the distribution between the three main entities - The RPC,
MPO, and NEP. Also included are the Calculation of the Indirect/Fringe Rates and the
Capital Assets policies for your information.
RPC revenues and expenditures are consistent and reflect a conservative appraisal of
ongoing and forecasted activities, Expenditure programs include various Grants/Contracts
as awarded, monitoring and reviewing DRls, continued reimbursable support for MPO and
the CHNEP, and various local plan review activities.
On April 1, 2009, the Executive Committee met to review this budget:
Discussion was held regarding salary, reserves, and sources of replacement income. The
Committee agreed with staff recommendations that there should be no cost of living or merit
increases. Reserves should continue to increase rather then be used at this time, Additional
sources of income will be researched and, as they become available, the budget will be
amended to reflect the changes.
Line items of Health, Retirement, MPO and NEP Contractual were to be reviewed by staff
and reported back to the committee
Health insurance - Retirees have dropped off our plan and it is anticipated that this will keep
our premium in the same current range. In the past few years, we have kept our rate increases
low by adjusting coverages, However, if premiums increased sufficiently, we may offer 2 plans
to our employees. If they opted to keep the better coverage, they would contribute to the
premium.
Retirement - is based on salaries, with no increase in salaries or anticipated increase in
retirement rates, there should be no sufficient increase. The plan funding status from FRS
states that funds are quaranteed and are 106% funded as indicated by the 2007-08 Annual
Investment Report,
The RPC reflects a 10% decrease in the annual budget There are no cost of living or merit
increases included nor are there any vacant positions or salary adjustments included. Other
decreases include researching more economical vendors and an overall cut in spending,
As submitted by the Program Managers, the CHNEP budget reflects a 19% decrease and
the MPO budget reflects a 18% decrease from the prior year. Both these budgets are
multi-year budgets, The decreases are mainly due to a reduction in their contractual lines.
NEP has cut two projects resulting in a reduction of $119,500 MPO will be adding any
'carry-over' funds from their 2008-2009 budget and will amend the 2009-2010 budget to
