WILLOUGHBY ACRES WATER ANC SEWER IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT: COUNTY ATTORNEY
AUTHORIZED TC PROCEED WITH BOND VALIDATIONS: UTILITY DIRECTOR DIRECTED
TO PROCEED WITH FINAL PLANS FOR INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS
Legal noticp. having b€en published in the Naples Daily News on
December' 25, 1979 and January 1, 1980, and in The N~ples Star on December 21,
1979 and J~nuary 4, 1980, as evidenced by Affidavits of Publication filed
with the Clerk, the second of two public hearings was opened to consider
proposed construction of assessable water and sewer improvements in the
Willoughby Acres Area of the County Water/Sewer District of Collier County,
Florida.
Prior to his opening comments on the matter, Utility Director Irving
Berzon circulated a register requesting that all persons present to hear
the comments and/or voice an opinion on the subject project affix their
signatures to the register so that the Farmers Home Administration will
have a record of those names.
Mr. Berzon explained briefly the overall details of the project
including the following estimated costs at this time for the subject
improvements in the Willoughby Acres Water/Sewer District:
1. Potable Water Distribution System - $511,250.00 which results
in a front foot assessment of $11.44 per front foot, an increase
of $2.68 per front foot;
2. Central Sewage Collection System - $1,237,500.00 which results in
a front foot assessment of $29.43 per front foot, an increase
of $6.82 per front footi
3. Combined project cost is $1,748,750 with a combined front foot
assessment of $40.87.
Mr. Berzon explained that what the assessment translates to, on an annual
basis for a 20-year assessment on a lOa' piece of property, is approxi-
mately $330.00, noting that the estimate includes both capital and
interest. He added that, on tr.~ of that, will be monthly payments for
regul~\' water and sewer fees for "~"r charges. Continuing, Mr. Berzon
noted that, in addition to the thO public hearings requested by the
FmHA, it is his understanding, due to the recent receipt of additional
information, that the FmHA is strongly suggesting that the second
public hearing this date be continued until the evening and said that,
if the suggestion is followed, that the extended hearing be scheduled
for 7:30 P.M. in the Commission Boardroom. Responding to Commissioner
Pistor, Mr. Berzon said that news of the continued public hearing could
be circulated via the persons in attendance.

Mr. Ellwood Witt, Willoughby Acres property owner, commented that, to
his knowledge, the people of Willoughby Acres, for four years, have done
everything possible to secure water and, at the request of the County,
sewer for the subject District, among them attending two pUblic hearings
two years after petitioning for water, and attending two more hearings
due to an increase in price. He said that the people he represents do not
feel that it is their fault that the price has increased but, rather,
the fault of the slowness on the part of others. He suggested that the
proposed continuance of the hearing is being caused by a certain individual
in the conmuni ty who wishes to interfere with "everyone I s way of 11 fe",
citing his r2asons for such statement, as contained in the individual's
publication. Among Mr. Witt's further comments were the increased costs
for the improvements caused by the delays being encountered, the costs
of purification of the water in the meantime, the effect on the sale of
properties in the District, the large ratio of owners, estimated to be
95% to 5%, desirous of obtaining the improvements for water supply and
the like. He pleaded with the Board to proceed with the improvements
without further delay.
Other persons speaking in favor of immediate expedition of t~e
improvements were:
Eric McKee - Member of Willoughby Acres Homeowners' Association
(Willing to pay whatever the cost for water and sewer)
~ry Murray - Willoughby Acres resident (Concurred with Mr. Witt's
s ta temen ts)
George Harrison - Willoughby Ac.es resident (In favor of the project
and requested an update on FmHA loan authorization
amount and whether or not the costs have been
obtained through competitiv~ bidding, with Mr.
Berzon providing explanation)
Mr. Frank Duval, District Dir":tor for Farmers Home Administration,
stated that the FmHA is willing t~ ma~c t~e loan to support the project
but that input from the people w~s needed regarding their desire for the
project since the average lot will cost about $3,2DO for the improvements.
Further, said Mr. Duval, it was suggested to the Board that the meeting
be continued through the evening - only a suggestion, not a requirement _
and that the suggestion was written in a letter to ~Ir. Kebler by Mr.
William Wethers, State FmHA office, wherein it was stated that he

(Mr. DU1al) would suggest to the County Commissioners to have a night
public meeting. In response to County Attorney Pickworth's query, Mr.
Duval said that one person wrote to the Gainesville FmHA office requesting
a night meeting, adding that he had received a letter from one person in
opposition to the project and that he informed the writer of the pUblic
hearings, suggesting that he attend. Mr. Duval said that, to his knowledge,
only one person asked for the night meeting.
Chairman Wenzel noted his willingness to attend a night meeting, as did
Commissioners Pistor and Brown. Commissioner Wimer opposed the continuation
of the hearing. He reported that he talked with Mr. Wethers in Gainesville
and was informed that such mp.eting was not required.
Mr. D~val said that it is the Board's prerogative whether or not to
extend the hearing and that he will make his decision based on what he has
knowledge of - the public input and the letters that he has received.
A further speaker, Mr. Ed White, President of the Homeowners' Association
of Willoughby Acres, observed that there has always been a good representa-
tion of the residents of the area at all public meetings on the issue and
that they are 100% behind the project.
Commissioner Pistor explained that his reason for ~9reeing to attend
a continuation of the hearing is to be certain that by not having the
evening meeting, if it is part of the requirements, would result in
having an obstacle arise which would preclude proceeding with the project.
COllrnissioner Pistor moved to continue the public hearing on the
Willoughby Acres Improvement Project until 7:30 P.M. this date. Chairman
Wenzel seconded the motion "to get it on the floor".
At the request of Commissioner Wimer, Mr. Duval reiterated his
earlier statement that the cont:nued meeting is not a requirement of the
Farmer~ nome Administration.
Chairman Wenzel called for ~ roll call vote on the question, which
failed 2/2 with Commissioners Wimer and Wenzel voting in the negative
and Commissioner Archer not present.
Mr. Duval noted, for the people of Willoughby Acres, that the so-called
delay is no delay - the County having already proceeded to call for the
bond resolution to get the water and sewer system in the project. Further,
said Mr. Duval, "It will be my recommendation to the State Director of
Farmers Home Administration that we will proceed to put the water and sewer
r- --1

in in Willoughby Acres. Now, you are short of money for the water. It
will be my recommendation to the State Director to proceed through the
bond validation to go to bids and we wi1l rnJke the loan for the difference
in the money."
All proponents and opponents, if any. having been heard, Commissioner
Pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried 4/0 with Commissioner
Archer not present, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Pistor moved that, since the two public hearings have
been held and that there appears to be a unanimous feeling of the residents
of Willoughby Acres that the installation of the water and sewer improvements
proceed, the Board authorize the County Attorney to proceed with the bond
validatIons, and direct the Utility Director to proceed with the final
plans for the installation of the water and sewer in Willoughby Acres.
Commissioner Wimer seconded the motion which carried 4/0 with Commissioner
Archer not present.
County Attorney Pickworth outlined for the benefit of the affected
residents in attendance the next steps which have to be taken. He said
that, hopefully, within the next two weeks a bond resolution will be
brought to the Board for adoption which will authorize the issuance of
bonds. A suit to validate the bonds will immediately be filed, he said,
which usually takes 30-35 days, depending on the court calendar. Assuming
that the court in this County v~lidates the bonds, there is a 30-day waiting
period, or appeal period, in which anyone wishing to contest the validation
has the right to appeal such validation to the Supreme Court of Florida, he
said. If no appeal is filed, said the attorney; at the end of the appeal
period, the Clerk of the Court will issue a Certificate of No Appeal and,
at that point, the bonds arp incontestable and interim financing will be
obt.;; illed, the bidding process Ill-gun. As soon as the bidding process is
concluded, said Attorney Pic~~Jrth, construction can begin.
Continuing, Mr. Pickwortil explained there will be other details
accomplished such as a public hearing on February 5, 1980 to reconfirm
the higher cost estimates, and probably other hearings also. He said
that if no appeal is filed, it is possible bids can be let in three n~nth~.
However, he said if an appeal is filed, an 8-10 month delay is possible.
Regarding the use of interim financing, as suggested by Commissioner
Pistor, Attorney Pickworth said that arrangements to borrow money for the

water system is in process, commenting that, hopefully, borrowing of that
type will not be necessary since it carries with it a lot of problems
with regard to legal protection for all parties; however, continued
Attorney Pickworth, "If it comes to that, we will have to go that route."
RATE INCREASE REQUESTED BY GULF COMMUNICATORS, INC. (AMERICAN CABLEVISION
SERVICES) - APPROVED; CHAIRMAN AUTHORIZED TO SIGN REVISED FRANCHISE
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
January 6 and 13, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an increase in rates
as proposed by Gulf Communicators, Inc., d/b/a American Cablevision
Services, providers of cablevision services to the Golden Gate Area.
Mr. H. Gene Willett, Administrative Assistant to the County Manager,
recalled that several weeks ago, pursuant to the request by the subject
firm, the County staff prepared an Executive Summary regarding the matter
and attached therewith a summary of the Franchise Agreement dated June 8,
1967, a comparison of rates of other cable franchises in the southwest
part of the State, a tabulation of franchise fees over the past several
years, and a brief analysis of insurance data required in the Franchise
Agreement. Taking all pertinent facts into consideration, said Mr. Willett,
the staff has concluded that an increase is justified. Mr. Willett noted
that there is also a request by some of the citizens of the area concerning
the lcquisition of Channel 9 cablevision service from Palmer Broadcasting _
raf:'It:'vision.
Attorney B. Kenneth Gatlin, rep"esertc1ng Gulf Communicators, Inc..
submitted for the record a copy of a letter dated November 15, 1979 from
Harold L. Hughes, President of Gulf Communicators, Inc., wherein it is
proposed that the firm's franch1S0 be amended to increase the basic rates
for cablevision service; with attachments conSisting of Appendix "A"
a copy of the current Franchise (Exhibit 1), together with a copy of each
of two amendments thereto. Mr. Gatlin observed that the cablevision
rates were set in 1967, the date of the Franchise Agreement, and have
not been changed since that time. Mr. Gatlin interrogated Mr. Hughes on
such matters as the area being served, the reason for the request for the
rate increase, and whether or not the rate increase, if granted, will
result in an operating income and not a loss, with Mr. Hughes responding in
the affirmative to the latter question.

Concerning the Channel 9 question, Mr. Gatlin'said that the firm would bl
agreeable to discussing the matter, pointing out that, from a legal position,
the matter has no bearing on the rate increase request. Mr. Willett explainec
that a petition has been received from 11 Golden Gate residents concerning
their desire to have the channel added to the service of Gulf Communicators.
Mr. Hughes advised that Channel 9 is not an off-the-air pickup but rather a
closed circuit program developed locally by the Naples Cablevision System.
He said that the management of the system has been approached twice to
see if the channel could be provided either as a courtesy or on a reimburse-
ment basis and the request was turned down.
Commissioner Wimer inquired as to whether or not the firm could provide
cab'levision service to several street5. north of Golden Gate Parkway, east
of the road going into the new development currently underway. Hr. Hughes
explained that an engineering study has been made within the past six
months with regard to serving that area; however, the estimated cost would
be $33,000 and, due to the limited number of possible subscribers at this
time, the firm could not afford the expansion. Commissioner Wimer commented
that it is his understanding that the Palmer firm is willing to install
cablevision if Gulf Communicators, Inc. would relinquish a portion of their
area, noting that he is concerned about residents willing to pay for cable
and not being able to receive it. Mr. Hughes offered to discuss the matter
further with Mr, Ryan of Cablevision. Chairman Wenzel suggested that, if it
would help achieve a compromise, the staff could assist in negotiations.
Ms. Lee Layne, Golden Gate r0~ident, stated that she is in favor of
the increase, however, she questioned why Channel 9 can't be received since
Home Box Office is being received over that channel in the area.
There were no other p\,rsons registered to speak, whereupon Commissioner
!'istor moved, seconded by CC,lrnissioner Brown and carried 4/0 with Commissioner
Archer not present, that the public hearing be closed.
Chairman Wenzel suggested that Commissioner Pistor contact the afore-
mentioned Mr. Ryan to determine if the problems discussed can be resolved.
Commissioner Pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried
4/0, that the rate increase requested by Gulf Communicators, Inc. be ~ranted
and incorporated into a revised Franchise A9reement, and that the Chairman
be authorized to sign same.

ORDINA~CE 80-7 RE PETITION CP-79-9C, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AMENDING
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THREE PARCELS OF LAND LOCATED ALONG PINE RIDGE ROAD
AND AIRPORT ROAD FROM 0-4 RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
December 21, 1979 and January 16, 19aO as evidenced by Affidavit of
Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearfng was opened to consider a
proposed ordfnance with regard to Petition CP-79-9C, ffled by the Planning
Department, requesting Comprehensive Plan Amendments for property located
at the northeast corner of Pine Ridge Road and Afrport Road, and for Lot
31, Block A, Connor's Vanderbflt Beach Estates.
After locating the subject properties on the map displayed, Ms. Lee
layne, Plannp~, explained that the three parcels in the Pine Ridge Road
area are not large enough to provide for sfngle-family development and
it is felt that the area will eventually develop commercfally and the Plan
change, along with the companfon petftion for rezonfng change to Professional
Commercial, will provide the means for developing the area in such a manner
that there will be no high traffic impact on the future arterial to 1-75.
Regarding the Vanderbilt Beach Estates property, Ms. Layne explained that
the proposed zoning change and the Plan amendment is befng requested by the
property owner from 0-4 Residential to 6.22-30 Units. She said that the
property has a triplex on it, which \~as on the parcel when purchased fn 1965.
She said that the CCPA recommended denying the change fn zonfng since the
area is basically a single-family area; however, she safd that the Agency
h~~ recommended approval of the Change in land use for the Pine Ridge
Road area parcels.
Ms. Lee Bowein, the Vanderbilt Beach property owner, explained the
research that she has done to prove that the property was built as a triplex;
however, she said that there are no 1\'.:i1ding I'ecords available, apparently
having been destroyed during Hurricar:e Donna.
Responding to Chairman Wenzel'~ request for clarification of the
problem, Ms. Layne explained that the staff was requested to rezone the
property several years ago and that it went through the rezoning process
as part of the annual revfew four years ago; however, although the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the matter, for some reason
it was left out of the Ordinance. She said that the La Playa establishment is
to the south of the property, "R-2" zoning to the southeast, with single-
800K 051 PAcd.13

051 PAGf~14 across the street and to the immediate north. She said that apparently
adjacent residents feel that if the land Use Plan is amended and the zoning
changed, the property owners will destroy the triplex and construct another
commercial facility. Noting that the land in question is more valuable
at the present time, Chairman Wenzel inquired if such was the plan, with
Ms. Layne stating that no such proposal has been stated, but rather it is
the desire to have the triplex in conformance. Ms. Bowein voiced her
concern that, in the event the building was destroyed, she could not rebuild
it under the current zoning on the land. In answer to Commissioner Pistor,
Ms. Bowein said that she has no plans to tear down the triplex and rebuild,
addinq that she wants to retain the triplex and be assured she could
rebuild it, if necessary. Following discussion concerning other zoning
possibil ities, Ms. Layne said that "RM_2" or "R_T" are the only zoning
categories that would allow for the three units on one lot; otherwise, it
would be "spot zoning". It was pointed out by Planning Director Danny Crew
that there is no provision in the ordinance which would permit rebuilding
a triplex on the property.
It was Commissioner Wimer's suggestion that the proper time to
address the problem would be if and when the property was destroyed, noting
that in the case of a hurricane along the beach, for instance, there would
be many changes that would have to be made. Dr. Crew observed that "people
do not buy zoning, but you buy a piece of property and no one is ever
guaranteed zoning". He said that the subject lot is extremely valuable
either as a single-family or a 'riplex and that there would still be just
value left in the lot as a single-family lot.
For the record, Ms. Layn~ ~resented a letter from Ms. Bowein, as was
referred to during her pr~sel,c~tion, together with a petition from the Vanderbilt
Beach Property Owners Association wit.h the signatures of 51 people along
Gulf Shore Boulevard area who are against the rezoning, no signatures for it,
and with two persons uncommitted.
Mr. Lloyd Bowein, who stated that he resides at the same address as
Ms. Bowein, emphasized that what is desired is to preserve the three-unit
status and that if there is some way to limit it to three units that ~~lJld
be satisfactory. He said that what prompted the request is that a letter
r---:
r---'"

I . ~.l
o
!
(:=1
January 22, 1980
was received from someone on the County staff that said the present use
is non-conforming and that it had to revert back to single-family residence;
however, he said that it was explained that the use was grandfathered in
later on.
Mr. Ed Vines, subject area resident, advised the Board that his
knowledge of the property pre-dates t~e purchase by the present owner and
said that the builder constructed the property as a single-family home
with an apartment for his invalid daughter; however, he said that the
present owner rebuilt it adding another apartment or two. He said that the
three streets in the vicinity were always zoned for individual homes with
the properties on either side zoned semi-commercial.
Mr. Walter Wilde, Director of the Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners
Association, said that the Deed of Restrictions established in 1953, as
recorded, stipulates residential for the sUbject lot and that such
restrictions should have been followed by the property owner and/or
purchaser. Further commenting, Mr. Wilde said that the property is not
eligible for "R-T" zoning since it does not meet the setback requirements.
(Note: Commissioner Archer joined the meeting at this time - 10:35 A.M.)
Mr. Gordon Hughson, subject area property owner, relinguished his time
to a later speaker.
Mr. Angelo Montemurro, area preperty owner, commented on his knowledge
of the property in question stating that it has had three apartments since
1969 at least and said that he is in favor of the rezoning.
Ms. Leola Burt, resident of auj~cent property, explained that the
previous speaker has his property for sale and, therefore, does not care
whether or not the property's z~ning is changed.
Mr. Michael Moore, Ex-rre~ldent of the Homeowners' Association, opposed
the change in zoning because tl,,! property is located in the only buffered
area between the highrises and could set a precedent for other changes and..
thereby, despoil the beauty of the balance of Vanderbilt Beach.
Mr. Wallace Lewis, property owner in the Pine Ridge Road/Airport
Road vicinity, stated that he and his family own 160 acres, one mile of
frontage on Airport Road, south of the other properties being discussed in
Petition CP-79-9C and expressed concern about the development in the area.
It was his suggestion that the Board defer changing the zoning at this time

until concrete plans are submitted for development. He expressed
agreement with the AAA proposed buildfng on one of the parcels;
however, he said that due to the increase in property values, it fs
possible that the church property might be resold and the church
constructed elsewhere. In summation, Mr. Lewis said that he would like
to see tile County mafntain control over this property and monitor the
development carefully. Commissioner Wimer brought to Mr. Lewis' attention
that onf.' of the parcels is to be developed as "Professfonal-Commercial"
which will eliminate "GRC" zonfng requests. Mr. Lewis reiterated his
agreement with such zoning but again asked that the plannfng be "delicate"
on the land that lies between 1-75 and Airport Road, extending from Golden Gate
Parkway to Immokalee Road.
There were no additional persons regfstered to speak, whereupon
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commfssioner Brown and carried unani-
mously 5/0, that the publfc hearing be closed.

ORDINANCE Bo-a RE PETITION R-79-42C, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, REQUESTING
REZONING OF VARIOUS LANDS IN THE COUNTY FROM VARIOUS ZONES TO VARIOUS ZONES
AS PART OF ANNUAL REVIEW - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
December 21, 1979 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was held to consider Petition R-79-42C, as filed by
the Planning Department, requesting the rezonin~ of various lands in the
County to correct conflicts between the zoning and the Land Use shown on
the Comprehensive Plan, and to correct inequities in the present zoning.
Ms. Lee Layne, Planner, located the six parcels of land on the map
displayed for the purpose as being those parcels shown in yellow, and are
as follo~,".:
1. "A" to RS,-l" - W\s of SE~ 1 ess South 340 I and 1 ess the
North 800' of Section 2, Township 49 South, Range 25 East.
The "RS-l" complies with the Comprehensive Plan for the area.
The area is an unrecorded subdivision and the majority of
the land is smaller than the 5 acres required for Agriculture
zoning. '
Staff received a request for rezoning from over 50% of the
property owners in the subject area, located on Yarberry
Lane north of Pine Ridge Industrial Park. Filed for the record
was a letter from Ann H. Teute opposing the zoning change due
to the possible aggravating of the drainage problem.
2. "GRC" to "RS-3" - North 275' of Block 30, Unit 2, Golden Gate
City, the site of the Methodist Church in Golden Gate.
The present "GRC" zoning does not comply with the Comprehensive
Plan which shows 0-4 Land Use for the parcel.
3. "RS-3" to "RT" - Lot 31, Block A, Conner's Vanderbilt Beach
Estates, Unit 1.
Considered as a Comprehens'i':e Plan amendment - See action taken
by the Board on Petition CP-79-9C.
4. "A" to "PC" - Portions of Section 12, Township 49 South, Range
25 East (3 parcels).
Considered as a Comprc!h,':n~ive Plan amendment - See action taken
by the Board on Petitior CP-79-9C.
5. "A" to "RO" - E\s, S~, <,WI:(, :;ection 12, Township 49 South, Range
25 East - YMCA site.
"RO" zoning complies with the Comprehensive Plan and said zoning
complies with County policy that recreational uses should be
zoned as a recreational zone.
6. "A" to "RS-3" .. Portions of Section 12, TownShip 49 South, Range,
25 East - Barron Collier High School site.
The school is presently a non-conforming use in the "A" District.
"RS-3" is an appropriate zone and complies with the Comprehensive
Plan in the subject area. According to the Attorney General,
schools must conform to local zoning and Comprehensive Plans.

Concerning his proposed salary, Mr. N~rman recommended a salary of 5%
above the beginning rate for the position which equates to $27,190 and
which, in his opinion, is comllensurate with Mr. Virta's experience and
background, and appropriate for the responsibility he will have to
undertake.
Chairman Wenzel inquired about sufficient funds being available in
view of the fact that the former Administrator has been retained as a
I
ConsuHant and will be receiving part of the subject salary. Mr. Norman
e~~lained that when the pertinent budget ~as adopted the aforesaid
position was retained to provide the funds for Dr. Spagna's positon and
that a Planner I position was deleted.
Commissioner Wimer moved for approval of the appointment of Mr. Terry
L. Virta as Community Development Administrator, at the salary indicated.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried 3/2 with Chairman
Wenzel voting in opposition and, also, Commissioner Brown who commented that
,
he could not vote to "take on" any more personnel for the Planning Depart-
ment, his reason being that, in his opinion, the present Planning Department
can handle the workload.

REQUEST BY CONSERVANCY FOR APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO PROVIDE FOR MONITORING

INFORMATION
Chairman Wenzel reported that he has been asked by the Conservancy to
bring before the Board consideration for appropriating funds for the purpose
of installing three monitors at the three river inlets coming into Naples
Bay which he said is, apparently, to prove the issue that the Bay is polluted
and where the pollution is coming from. The estimated cost, he continued, is
$11,000, noting that he suggested that the City pay one-half of the cost and,
also, that the possibility of obtaining grants be pursued.
Commissioner Brown observed that accurate information is necessary
and moved that $6,500 be appropriated for this purpose. The motion
died for lack of a second, and was later withdrawn.
County Attorney Pickworth suggested that any action be deferred until
he has had the opportunity to discuss the matter with the Health Director
and with the Conservancy spokesman. This suggestion met with the approval
of the Board.

LEASE AGREEMENT FROM AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PROVIDIN~ AMBULANCE OPERATION
AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES - APPROVED
Commissioner Wimer began the discussion by giving a synopsis of what
has transpired since the Board of County Commissioners authorized putting
the ambulance service out for bids. He explained he had contacted
eve-y fire department in Collier County, asking each one the following
two questions: (a) Would they like to bid on the ambulance service and
(b) Did they want to be in the ambulance business - and even though he
had not received a response from all such departments, those he had
heard from indicated they had no desire to be in the ambulance business
but considered themselves sOlely fire departments. The next step taken,
Commissioner Wimer continued, was to have several meetings with the
Staff and by incorporating the help received from many other areas
regarding the format to be used, drew up the first draft of specifi-
cations. After getting all of the preliminary documents together.
the consultant, Mr. McKay reviewed the specifications and made several
suggestions which have been incorporated in the current document, Mr.

January 22. 1980
McKay commented that this set of speciffcatfons was one of the best overall
he had ever seen. Following this review, the document was presented to
the EMS Advisory Council for their perusal which resulted in their comment
that it would have been better if there had not been so much paper work
but they ~greed with the level of service, the quality of service and
the methodology indicated. The newly formed Citizens Advisory Committee
was the next body to review the specifications with their recommendations
being much the same as the EMS Advisory Council. Commissioner Wimer
stated that the Golden Gate area had been the only item not addressed
in the initial document and this was because the, volunteer ambulance
service went out of business during the development of the specifications
but has, subsequently, been incorporated in the individual packet that was
distributed to each member of the Board prior to the meeting. He explained
that the treatment indicated in the packet would allow the County to go
"either way" - without the use of the volunteer ambulance service or, if
they reactivate the service, in cooperation with the group - the cost for
either method is shown in the document. In conclusion, Commissioner Wimer
pointed out the "List of County-owned Capital Equipment" as shown on Page
39 and agreed that County Attorney Pickworth's recommended Changes, as ,
indicated in his memo of January 21, 1980, be included in the final
document.
Following Chairman Wenzel's call for comments from the Board, Commissioner
ijrown stated he was ready for public discussion of the item; Commissioner
Pistor questioned the following statements:
(1) Page 1 - the time of the initial contract calls for 4 years and
6~ months - He recommends the time be one year with a review at
the end of the year.
(2) Page 4 - Item 0 - "Make and retain all patient billings and
collections" He questions if this procedure will result in the
subsidy program being less.
(3) Page 8 - The wording contained in the paragraph which specifies that
the transportation of a "deceased person" shall be in a vehicle
other than an ambulance - He thinks the words "may be" should be
used.
(4) Page 16 - Sec. VIII/Item 3 - Reviewed the possibility of the
County dOing the billing and recording of the services per-
formed by the ambulance firm instead of the method indicated
in the documEnt.
(5) Page 17 - Sec. VIII/Item 4 - Questions the County being
responsible for the co~ts of the Contractor providing additional
information as requested uy the County.

Page 29 - Questions the lack of identity re Everglades City

Page 33 - Wants the base rates to indicate what services are

Chairman Wenzel questioned the length of time of the initial contract: the
need for clarification in the identification of the Coastal Service Area
to include Everglades City; the question of the County owning all the
subject equipment and paying a contractor to run the equipment with no accounting
required - (County Attorney Pickworth stated this wording had been changed
and referred Chairman Wenzel to his memo of January 21, 1980) and the
annual request that can be made by the contractor for the purchase of
operating capital equipment - such equipment to be paid for by the County.
Commissioner Wimer pointed out that the County's ownership has been done.
in great part, through grants, which are not available to private citizens,
and through the letting of the ambulance service out to private enterprise,
the County is not liable for lawsuits, etc.
During the discussion that followed. Commissioner Wimer, County Manager
Norman, County Attorney Pickworth, Administrative Assistant Gene Willett,
Safety Administrator Hafner and Deputy Chief Barnett answered the majority
of questions, previously asked.
Chairman Wenzel then opened the hearing to the public with the following
citizens registered and participating:
Mr. Mike Zewalk of 4840 West Boulevard. North Naples, voiced his objection
to th~ ambulance service being run by private enterprise: strongly suggested
that an "lWbulance Authority" be created with such an Authority being
allowed to operate the service, conclUding with the statement that the
billing and auditing should be more precisa and available.
Fiscal Officer Hall stated the proposed contract and specifications
calls for the continuous maintenance of billing records and identifies
those times when audits are required. In addition. Mr. Hall said, the
contractor must be in readiness to have an audit taken at any time re-
quested by the Board due to specified circumstances.

January 2~~=>
Mr. Bruce Holly of 2160 Estey Avenue, Naples, concurred with Mr.
Zewalk and enlarged on his suggestion by stating that the Fire Departments
and/or the "Authority" could operate the service on a "cost-basis".
Mr. H. H, Kieckhefer of 4412 18th Avenue, S.W., Golden Gate City,
had one concern regarding the inclusion of the Golden Gate area in the
proposed ambulance service specifications but agreed that his question would
be answered with the incorporation of the earlier submitted document,
which indicates this area will be included in the specifications, into the
proposed document.
Chairman Wenzel stated his desire to have the question placed before
the public for a referendum vote.
Upon call for the question, Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by
Commissioner Wimer, that the document containing the specifications for
providing ambulance operation and management services together with the
addendums and corrections, be adopted as presented. Commissioner Wimer
identified the addendums and corrections as follows:
1. New Capital Equipment list
2. The service to the Golden Gate area
3. Clarification of the question of audits
4. The process to be used in the mediation of disputes
The motion was deadlocked with a 2-2 vote as follows with Commissioner Archer
absent.
Commissioner Brown and Commissioner Wimer - Aye
Chairman Wenzel and Commissioner Pistor - Nay
Both Chairman Wenzel and Commissioner Pistor gave their reasons for dissenting
as the 4~ years time element called for in the proposed specifications. They
:"anted a time limit of 1 year.
Chairman called for recess at the request of Clerk Reagan.
Time: 3:00 P.M. to 3:15 P.M.
Chairman Wenzel reconvened the meeting at 3:15 P.M. and stated that
in reference to the vote taken prior to recess, Commissioner Pistor
wished to change his vote from "Nay" to "Aye" and so let the minutes
refl ect.
At this time, Fiscal Officer Hall explained that the proposed
documents are called "tentative specifications" and after the approval of
the Board and after the pre-bid conference, it is expected that there may
be changes in the specificcltions before they are finalized for bidding
purposes.
Chairman Wenzel asked that the record show the IIIOtion to adopt the
specifications was carried 3-1 with Chairman Wenzel dissenting and
