SHOW CAUSE HEARING REGARDING TERMINATION OF GARBAGE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH [J " [J D]SPOSAL SERVICE, MARCO ISLAND AND GOODLAND _ CONTINUED FOR uO DAYS Public hearing re Show Cause Hearing for the termination of the garbage franchise agreement with B & Il Oisposal Service, Marco Island and Goodland, Ihwing been previously continued from the May 27, 1980 agenda, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication previously filed with the Clerk, was further continued for sixty (60) days on the motion made by Commissioner ristor, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and, fOllOWing public participation, carried unanimously. Publ ic Works Adrninistrator Barksdale reviewed the background of the Show Cnuse Hearing re the termination of the garbage franchise agreement with [J & B Dispr;al Service at Marco Island and Goodland, stating that in fonna t i on had been presented to B & B Di s[1osa 1 in a Show Cause letter which outlined the areas of default that the County considers to be in non-compl iance with the present franchise agreement. Since this notification, however, MI'. [Jud Kirk, owner of the B & B Disposal Service, has come June 3, 1980 substantially into compliance with the franchise - f.e. has had all vehicles inspected and all now display a valid inspection sticker; the seals have been replaced; the bodies of the trucks have been_welded to prevent leakage and Mr. Kirk has submitted the required certificates of insurance (the last one being received on May 21,1980). The Staff feels Mr. Kirk is substantially in compliance with the present agreement hut because the equipment is very old and will, shortly, be in the same unsafe condition as before, it was Mr. Barksdale's recommendation that the Show Cause Hearing be continued for a period of sixty (60) days. Mr. Barksdale noted that the continuation will give Mr. Kirk an opportunity to show that he can maintain, upgrade and keep the equipment at a standard that is expected of such vehicles. Commissioner Archer questioned the need for a continuance when, from Mr. narksdalc's statements, Mr. Kirk is in compliance, as of now, with the present franchise agreement and desires to transfer his franchise to an interest::d buyer. Mr. Bal'ksdale affirmed that Mr. Kirk had !'l0tHied his office of the proposed transfer of franchise to Messrs. Charles and Jo~eph Macaluso and the proper procedure for taking such action was forwarded to Mr, Kirk. County Manager Norman answered the question regarding "withdral'iill" a5 opposed to "continuation" by stating that the County is under ~o obligation to automatically transfer a franchise, neither legally nor in the area of negotiating the conditions of the franchis~ stating that to continue the hearing would be more feasible than having to initiate the process of another Show Cause Hearing, if necessary, at a later date. Chairman Wenzel asked those of the public that had registered to speak, if they wished to comment today or, since the hearing had been continued for 60 days, reserve their comments for that date. Mr. Paul Schryver, attorney represent- ing Mr. Kirk, directed his first comment to his client's and his desire that such a Show Cause Hearing be withdrawn but if this is to be a continuing inspection of Mr. Kirk's vehicles then he would like assurance that the negotiations will be in good faith; that after Mr. Kirk has met all the criteria of County Engineer Barksdale and the Board, he may be assured of a d~ci5ion; undl if Jl1 the ~ubmitted O<lt<l <lnd information meets Mr. Barksdale's satisfaction, Mr. Schryver requested that such a decision be forthcoming ~OD~ 053 PACE'389 eoo~ Ub:3 PACE :Jl::lU June 3, 1980 within the 60 days of continuance. He stated that the prospective buyers, the Macalusos, have been residents of Marco Island since 1960 and in this business for many years. Discussion followed which covered the Board's area of authority; the clarification that the Board negotiates with the new owner, once an agreement has been made between Mr. Kirk and his prospective buyer; County Manager Norman's statement that the County staff, under the Board's direction, will negotiate in the best of faith but that the County can not pre-commit itself; County Attorney Pickworth's comment that the mere submission of information does not, of itself. signify a commitment by the Board - negotia- tions and ultimately, decisions have to be made at the Board's discretion with no time frame indicated and the consensus of the Board that there was no motion necessary to verify that it is the Staff's responsibility to negotiate the terms of the new franchise with the purchase in good faith and good time. Ms. Jirnnie Robinson spoke on behalf of the Kirks, saying both Mr. and Mrs. Kirk are long time residents of Collier County and she urged that the Board support them In selling their franchise. ORDINANCE NO. 80-48 REZONING Ff~OM lRM_1A" TO "MHSD" FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON LOTS 71-76 AND 88-93. PLANTATION ISLAND WHICH IS LOCATED OFF SR 29 EAST OF EVERGLADES CrTY - ADOPTED - --.-------.--.- Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on May 2, 1980. as evidenced by the Affidavit of Publ ication filed with the Clerk, publlC hearing was opened to consider Petition R-80-11-C filed by the County Plannin9 Department requesting rezoning from "RM-1A" to "MHSD" for the property located on Lots 71-76 and 8B-93, Plantation Island which is located off SR 29 East of Everglades City. Planner Lee Layne identified the subject property and stated the Planning Department was presented with a petition of over 50% plus 1 of the property owners of the subject property reqUeSti'lg that their land be zoned "MHSD" to correspond with the same zoning surrounding them, Ms. Layne stated the entire Plantation Island area is zoned mobile home subdivision with only two portions, as inJicated above, still being zoned "Rt1-1A". The request for rezoning would accorrmodate these two portions, brin!Jin!J thefT! into ccomratibil ity with thl' surrollnding arl'il, June 3, 1980 Chairman Wenzel called for public participation and Mr. L. W. Isaacs and Mr. Luther Atwell spoke in support of the proposed ordinance. Mr. Atwell also remarked that he hoped this was the last of the "spot zoning" on Plantation Island and that the remaining lots zoned "commercial" would not house such activity as "boat storage", etc. Ms. Layne explained that the Planning Departrnent could not oppose any services that are allowed under such a zoning designation but that the property owners could get together and put "deed restrictions" on such property if it were owned by them. There being no other registered speakers on the subject, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, that the Ordinance as numbered and entitled below be adopted and entered into Ordinance Book No. 11.

BG~K 053 PAGE392 June 3, 1980 Planner Richard Henderlong presented the petition and stated the amendln9 ordinance specifically allows a private boat dock length to be 5 feet unless the waterway or canal is 100 feet or greater, in which case this boat dock may protrude up to 20 feet; beyond 20 feet, it would require a hearing bcfore the CAPC with a recommendation submitted to the 8CC for final approva 1. J n add It Ion to these sjJec I fica ti ons and after revi ewi ng the suhject with the County Attorney's office, Mr. Henderlong said there were the following minor points of clarification that needed to be made: 1. Under Section I. Item 1 amending Section 8 of Ordinance 76-30 by adding a paragraph No. 30 - the last sentence of the paragraph will read - "Additional length beyond said 20 feet may be re~uested and shall require a public hearing by the CAPC, After a pub! ic hearing of cue publ ic notice, the CAPC may recommend for either approval or denial of any additional length. The CAPC's recommend~tion shall be based upon consideration of the following fi\<:tors:" 2. Two minor word changes - not identified. lie concluded his presentation by saying that the CAPC held their public hcaring on May 1, 1980 and unanimously recommended that the petition be forwa rded to t:le [lCC for approva 1 . When C~airman Wenzel called for questions from the Board, Commissioner Grown asked if the adoption of this ordinance would cease the current moratorium on the acceptance of applications for boat dock construction and after having heen answered by Assistant County Attorney Pires in the affirm,1~ive (possibly within the next ten days), he asked for an explanation regarding Mr. Joe Waters' boat dock permit that was refused just this past week, Zoning Director Jeff Perry explained that a dock permit appl ication is, first, made to the County Engineer's office; then transmitted to the Environmental Planner (who mayor may not refer such an application to the EAC) and that Mr. Waters had made application to the County Engineering Department which, in turn, had been reviewed by the Environmental Planner. The Environmental Advisor recommended approval with the stipulation that the Zoning Director approve the length of more than 20 feet. Mr. Perry said the subject request came to his desk on May 28, 1980 to which he had to respond with a transmittal letter regarding the said application back to the Engineering Oepartment, explaining that it could not be approved because it exceeded the lenqth on which the BCC had just previously placed a moratorium. He continued, that the application is still being held in abeyance and will require, if the proposed ordinance is adopted, a public June 3, 1980 hearing before the CAPe. Commissioner Brown asked Mr. Perry to eXplain in writing to Mr. Waters what will now be expected of him and the proper procedure he ;nust follow. Mr. Perry replied he would take care of it. Mr. Carl Gilzow of 256 Heron Avenue, Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners Association, spoke in support of the proposed ordinance and stated that the time had come for control over the density in the waters of Collier County much the same as the density is controlled on the lands of the County. lie cited the number of high-rise condos that have been permitted to be built along the stretch of land called Vanderbilt Beach which is only 2 miles long and has only a 20 foot access road and remarked that the same over- crowding is being allowed along the water. Mr. Walter Wilde of Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners Association, stated he was pleased with the clarification regarding "multi-family" problem in the proposed ordinance but it does not address the area of "restrictions" that are sorely needed. He made reference to the 25 rcmaining lots on the lagoon that will require individual decisions from the flCC when dock npplications are submitted anrJ voiced his disappointment over the fact that there were not more specific directions given regarding docks in Vanderbilt Lagoon. Mr. Wilde concluded with the request that the nuilding Department, whenever a boat dock is being constructed, post a notice out in front of the house so that construction can be easily checked by the Association. Mr. Mike Moore, Director of Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners Association, stated this was a step in the right direction and asked, if possible, that the Planning Commission, together with other bodies, be more specific re9arding the restrictions on Vanderbilt Beach. There being no other persons registered to address the issue, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, that the public hearing be closed. Con~issioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistol' and carried unanimously, that the Ordinance as numbered and entitled below, as amended and corrected by those changes previously requested by Planner Henderlong at the beginning of the public hearin~ be adopted and entered into Ordina:1Cc Book No. 11. ~OOK 053 PAGE393 ..

RESOLUTION NO. 80-106 RE PETITION V-80-9-C, NAPLES MOBILE ESTATES, INC. REOUESTING ^ VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE REDUCTION IN LOT AREA OF LOT 59, GLOCK G, NAPLES MOBILE ESTATES, GELOW THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO CORRECT AN ENCROACHMENT - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on May 18, 1930, as evidenced by the Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public he,lriny was opened to consider Petition V-80-9-C filed by Naples Mobile Estate,;, Inc. requesting a variance to permit the reduction in lot nrea of Lot 59, Glock B, Naples Mobile Estates by adding to Lot 60 enough lal:d to create the required setback for the existing residence on Lot 60. Zoning Director Perry presented the petition and gave the following facts for consideration: 1. Naples Mobile Estates is a mobile home subdivision made up almost entirely of non-conforming lots of record. Lot 59 is a non- conforming lot of record. 2. Most of the standard lots are 50' wide. (Current regulations would require 60' wide). 3. The lot in question, #59, is at present 50' wide in front and 70' wide in the rear dnd is therefore larger in area than most of the standard lots. 4. The portion of Lot 59 to be transferred to Lot 60 is 390 square feet in area and will leave Lot 59 remaining 5631 square feet, stir: in excess of the standard non-conforming lots in the sub- division, 5. Petitioner is not requesting variances to required yards but, in Fact, i~ trying to correct the encroachment by acquiring additional land. Staff feels this is a better alternative than the requesting of yard variances. June 3, lYSO He also stated that if the variance is granted, the lot area will be transferred to Lot 60 which means the setbacks will conform and Lot 59 will still exceed the standards of the other lots in the subdivision. Concluding, Mr. Per:-y said the Staff is recommending approval. There being no persons registered to address the issue, Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pfstor and c<'lrrfed unanimously, that the public hearing be closed. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, that Resolution No. 80-106, permitting the reduction in lot area of Lot 59, Block B, Naples Mobile Estates, below the mfnimum requirement to correct an encroachment, be adopted. * * ~. * * * * * * * * M8:< 053 PACE'395 June 3, 1980 eG~~ 053 rAGE 398 PETITION TO VACATE 31ST AVENUE, ~.w.

GRJ\NI!~!G Of' Iii [rnY (30) rOOT EASENENT THROUGH COUNTY OWNED LAliD (NflioLES LANDFILL) TO SECTION 3] AS~OCIATION - APPROVED - CHAIRMAN AUTHORIZED TO EXECUTE S_AME ____. County Engineer Barksdale reviewed the request for granting a thirty (30) foot easement, through County owned land (Naples Landfill), to Section 31 Association, Mr. Randall Crawford, President. Mr. Barksdale identified Sect"ion 31 as being that section of land lying ilTrnediate1y adjacent to the eastern boundary 1 ine of the Coll ier County Landfill and in order to obt., in access to their property, the Association has requested a permit from the Florida Department of Transportation to extend easterly the roadway presently serving the N~ples Landfill. However, a large cypress head exists at the southwest corner of Section 31 (additionally identified as the southeast I carner of Scct~cr: 35 'r';hich ~..il1 be €xti€iTlely difficult to traverse) and because of this situatioll, the Association has requested a 30 foot easement along the eastern property line of the Collier County Landfill beginning ilt the southeust corner and extending northerly for a distance of approximately 332 feet. Mr. Barksdale stated the Association will be responsible for extending the road, relocating signs and fences and providing for drainage as required by the County Engineer. He concluded his remarks by saying that the granting of the easement will not interfere with the proposed use of the LJndfill site now or at any time in the future. Conrnissioner Wimer asked what will happen to the security station presently located at the entrance of the site, and Mr. Barksdale rerl~ed that the station has Jlready been relocated back to he north entrance road. Con~lissioner Pistor moved, seconded by Commissf er Archer and carried unanimously, that the thirty (30) foot easement req sted by the Section 31 Association, be granted and the Chairman be authori d to execute same.

Sal ie purchased her land January 24, 1979. The property is presently zonl'd lA-2 and, under the current Zoning Ordinance, mobile homes .'1re allowed on 1':( acre parcels, but the difficulty has arisen by the fact that the Comprehensive Plan which was adopt<:!d ~Iay 5, 1980 by the Board, allows only unit per 5 acres. Community Development Administrator Terry Virta stated the Comprehensive Plan takes precedent over local land use control and until the local land use controls are brought into compliance with the Plan and/or the Plc:n modified, where necessary, or refined, where necessary, the prOblem drises where the land is virtually unusable to the owner. ~'r, Virta continued, that ~'rs. Sal ie's property is located in one of several areas that has been recognized to have such a problem and Staff is in the process of recommending an amendment to the subject arEa to change it from "A" - <lgriculturJl to "0 to lol'l density" residential. The proposed ordinance \'Ii 11 be in the County ~lanager' s office on Thursday, June 5, 1980 with a request for advertising on June 17, 1980 to be heard at the Board's r I June 3, 1980 meeting of July 29, 1980. Mr. Virta recommended that Mrs. Sa1ie attend the future relevant meetings concerning this rezoning and that the Board allow Mrs. Salie to place her two mobile homes on the property but not r occupy them, Following discussion, Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commis- siener Brown and carried unanimously, that Mrs. IIllzel Solie be granted a 60 day temporary permit for the two mobile homes on her two 1~ acre lots located northwest of the Lake Trafford Memorial Cemetery in Immokalee until the land use plan is changed to accommodate the surrounding area. CREATION OF CHARTER STUDY COMl'IISSION TO BE WORKSHOPPED ON TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1980 - RESOLUTION rROM NAPLES AREA CHAMBER OF CO'~ERCE RE SAME - ACCEPTED Following Chilirman Wenzel's remarks concern'jng Commissioner Wimer's proposed resolution that would establish a Charter Commission, such remarks illdicating that the creation of a Charter Study Commission would be more flexible in nature and would allow considerable more input from the populace, constitutiollal officers, and all those interested in such a form of govern- Inent, COlmlissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and carried unanimously that tile proposed resolution regarding thp. creation of a Charter C0l1111ission be withdrawn from today's agenda. Mr. Bill McGowdn, Executive Director of the Naples Area Chamber of Commerce, read, for the Board's ar.ceptance, a resolution passed in open session on May 21, 1980 by the Chamber's board, strongly urging the immediate creation of a Charter Study Commission.

June 3, ]980 Thp afternoon session reconvened at 1:35 P.M. with Commissioners Wimer and Archer absent. Also present was County Utility Director Berzon. Deputy Clerk Davidson replaced UP.puty Clerk Swindle for the afternoon session. * * * PRESENTATIONS BY SIX FIRMS AND/OR COMBINED FIRMS RE ENGINEERING CON- SULTING SERVICES FOR SEWER AREA "A" TREATMENT AND TRANSMISSION FACILITIES EXPANSION - SELECTION OF THREE FIRMS CONTINUED TO 6/10/80 Utility Director Irving Berzon explained briefly that the members of the Board will be hearing six presentations, all of which are hoping to be awarded J contract for engineering consulting services re the Sewer Area "A" treatment and transmission facilities expansion project. He added that the present treatment plant for the subject area, which is basically the North Naples area, has a capability of 1.5 mgd's; and, under the "201 Plan", authorization for expansion of up to 3 mgd which is based on population projections that were developed in 1977. * * * Commissioner Wimer joined the meeting in progress - Time: 1:39 P.M. * * .,. Mr. Bel'.:iJn explained that whichever firm is chosen, that firm will have to verify the subject population projections; they may see fit to progress towards a larger capacity; they may verify the need for only 3 mgd. Another critical problem that must be looked at very carefully, is the method of effluent disposal, said ~\r. Berzon. The "201" Plan recom- mends the use of the deep well injection system as the most cost-effective of the various methods available; however, the use of this method will bring the subject project costs ~p to about $5,400,000 and, because of this and other information available today, some of the firms making presentations will be suggesting that deep well method should be re-evaluated. He said that another thing that will be appropriate will be a review of the waste10ad allocation that has been recommended by the DER regarding the dbility of the plant to discharge into the small stream located near the present site of the subject project. Mr. Berzon said that the OER has onn' 053 P^r.F '483 BO~K 053 pm484 June 3, 1980 allocated a "0" discharge at this time; realistically, this could be clwnged to a figure something higher than the "0" amount of allowable wasteload allocation. He said that he wishes to bring this to the attention of the Soard, as these facts could have significant impact on the cost of the project; when reference to same is mentioned within the vai"ious presentations the Board l,il1 be familiar with the reasoning behind such reference, In answer to Chairman Wenzcl, Mr. Berzon noted that although there is sufficient land available at the site of the subject project for the expansion of the percolation ponds. consideration needs to be given regarding the stringent EPA requirements that result in the unreali~tic need for water that is to be percolated into the ground to be of "drinking water quality", at the interphase (water table). Mr. Berzon said that these are among the various considerations that the respective firms may feel are necessary to discuss with the Board and that the Board SllOUld keep in mind that approximately $1,350,000 will be l'equil'l~J Lu be rurnfsl1ed from local contl'ibutions towards the implementution of the recommended processes within the "201" study and that the remaining monies will he grant eligible under the EPA program. He emphasized that if "201" program grants are to be sought for the subject project, then, a firm that is familiar with the "201" process is needed. Chairman Wenzel stated that he feels that it might be in the best interest of the County, while grants are available, to plan for a larger expansiIJn than the "201" recommended 3 mgd plant. Mr. Berzon stated that this is to be determined by the consultant and will have to be verified as able to handle the growth for the next ten years. He explained again that the formula for funding the subject project is 25% from local con~ribution and 75% will be in the form of grants. Mr. Serzon told the Board that all of the firms that are to make a presentation will remain outside the boardroom until they make their rcspective presentations, and he invited the first to come forward and introduced representatives from CH2M Hill. June 3, 1980 CH2M_HILL Messrs. Greg Tate and Ted Smallwood were present and Mr. Smallwood addressed the Board, offering the suggestion that the Board re-evaluate the "201" study' s r~corrmendations. lie suggested that, in their stead, the [Joard adopt the implementation of the CH2r~ Hill designed system completed as part of the original plans for the development of the North Naples sewage in 1973. lie said that these plans are finished and have been paid for by the District, Mr. Smallwood explained that in 1973. the FmHA grant monies were not adequate to support the implementation of such a system and it was decided to build a temporary package treatment in North Naples instead of the proposed expandable plant. He said that same plans will need some updating because it contains certain equipment required by FmHA, that is no longer applicable, and current EPA guidelines will need to be incorporated in the design; however, by using these plans, the County could save 50% to 60% of the cost for design. Mr. Smallwood pointed out various aspects of the "201" study's rccomrr:endcd plan, and compared it to the modular expansion capabil ities of CH2M Hill's plan. He used a colored chart to show a diagram of the plans and discussed the proposed conversion of the existing package plant to a digester. a primary aeration basin, and a primary clarifier. ',1r. Smal hlOod explained the recommended use of a biological contractor followed by the disposal of the effluent via deep well injection as recommended in the "201" plan. lie said that he feels the Board should review all the alternatives, based on the fact that the subject plans have been designed; and that the implementation of such a facility can be built as cost effectively as the present expansion that is being considered. He said that the advantage of this would be that the County will not be committed to continue to utilize a very costly operation of an existing package treatment plant designed for a short life period; and, that by making the facility already dc, Jned by CH21~ Hi ll, a part of the County's long range plans, the County wi 11 not be faced with expensive revisions and expansions in the future. After a brief discussion regarding EPA standards re percolation ponds; \ I I II drying beds; and effluent disposal methods, as well as EPA regulations re secondary effluent treatment in relation to percent?3e requirement and filtration for effluent for the reduction of BOD loading in percolation ponds, rk. Smallwood assured the Board that CH2M Hill's recommended plan nr-~ . A f!"II,., I I BO~K 053 PAGE 486 June 3, 1980 can meet all EPA requirements regarding all of the above-referenced topics. Mr. Smallwood referred to the "201" study plan for a projected need for a 2-3 mgd capacity plant for the period of time up through 2000 as inaccurate; CH2~i Hill is projecting that this capacity will be met by the year 1990. ~1r. Smallwood said the County will be faced with the additional expense for expansion by the early 1990's, if the "201" is adopted. Operational problems regarding the percolation ponds at the present treatment plant were explained by Mr. Smallwood and he stated that the primary problem has been with the control of the aquatic growth in those ponds; therefore, he said, the operation of ponds could be very costly. He said that CH2M Hill is, therefore, recommending deep well disposal for the proposed plant with 16-18 inch disposal capabilities, rather than expanding the pond system of disposal. l1e said that the deep well me~hod will probably be less costly Lo operate and would cost less than increasing the present 12 acres of ponds to some 75 acres needed for it 3 mgd plant. Mr. :'mallwood said that the design concept that his tirm is recom- mending is similar to that plant that he is curr'ently working on for the City of Naples with the deep well system. * * * Commissioner Wimer left the meeting in progress - Time: 1:55 P.M. * * * The disadvantages of the "201" plan, including the fact that the life of a package treatment plant is short; expensive to operate; and that the recommended rotating biological contractors have a record of poor reliability and require expensive mantenance was pointed out by Mr. Smallwood. He also said that this plan requires the use of primary settling for the treatment of effluent and that this type of treatment produces odor problems that are costly to overcome. He referred to the CH2M Hill plan as less costly, reliable, and easily expandable. He said that this plan will have no odor problems and can be implemented at a comparable cost to the "201" plan. He concluded by saying that CH2M Hill can begin work immediately. June 3, 1980 GEE & JENSEN Mr. Walter Stevens, Senior Vice President of Gee & Jensen, intro- duced several members of the firm that will be part of the design team, if Gee & Jensen is giv~~ the contract for consulting engineering services for the North Naples facility expansion. Mr. John ~1(;Cune, V i c~ Pr'cs i den t 0 f Gee & Jensen, addres sed the [)oard and covered the various types of experience that his firm has had rclated to sewer facilities; the background of the firm; the qualifications of the various members of the staff that will be working on thc subject project; and, he emphasized the fact that Gee & Jensen is very familiar with the "201" process. Mr. McCune referred to hi s fi rm as one tha tis prepa red to undertake the most innovative and alternative types of engineering projects, and said that this type of engineering will enable Collier County to be eligible for 85% grants rather than 75% if conventional ideas are implemented. Mr. McCune presented a resume of Mr. Eugene Nowak, and explained that he is experienced in "201" p;-ograms; has worked on over 200 similar p~J;1~ for sewage facilities; and, he will be the grant project coordinator, if Gee & Jensen is selected. Mr. McCune covered related bond issues his firm has been involved in; and also explained some innovative ideas that his firm has developed regarding sewage treatment facilities, including the use of hyacinth ponds for removal of nitrogen in the AWT process, currently being used in Broward County. The capacity of the present plant in North Naples was discussed by Mr. ~lcCune and he stated that his firm has studied same very carefully and feels that, at this time, same plant is running near or at its full capacity. He said that his firm has determined that the EPA will probably l'cquire an amendment to the "201" plan, before it will be eligible for EPA funding, He said that it is his opinion that deep well will not be the most acceptable method of disposal for this area, the technology for deep well methodology is not proven for southwest Florida; and, EPA funds are frozen as of this time anyway. Mr. McCune recommended that the County amend the "201" plan if EPA participation is desired; work BO~K 053 PAGE 487 BOOK 053 PACE 4.88 June 3, 1980 towards obtaining approval for percolation ponds, similar to those presently being used; or, if timing is important, then, he suggests that the County forget EPA and do the work on its own. Chairman Wenzel asked Mr. Berzon if the County filtered the effluent for secondary treatment, and brought the percentage up to 90%, why can't the County run this into the river, rather than increasing the size of the ponds? Mr. Berzon stated that at this time, the DER has given the County a "0" allocation; and as he mentioned earlier, this will have to be reviewed. lie said that if the DER were to give a somewhat higher allocation, then, this might be a possibil ity. Mr. ~fcCune said that the "0" allocation from the DER is based on the fact that at this time the present system discharges upstream of the control structure; and, regardless of whether or not the County attains a 98% or a 99% discharge, the DER allocation of "0" stands, .HId what is needed is someone famil iar with the DER, such as Mr. Nowak to fight that battle for the County. ~Ir. flerzon stated that the "201" plan calls for a 3 mgd plant, and he asked ~1t.. McCune if his firm is recorMlending change regarding that figure. ~lr. McCune replip.d that only the method of disposal would be amended; however, his firm would study the projections for population and then determine if the reconlnended size is dccura te. r-1r. ~IcCllne stated that his firm could start on this project immediately t, step three, EPA funding through grants could be attained in mid-November, if the applications were to be filed now; and, the final plans and specifica- tions would be prepared in about three months, including preliminary work through final completion of engineering work for the entire project. * * * Chairman Wenzel requested that the minutes reflect that only Com- missioners Brown and Pistor along with himself were present for a portion of the first presentation; all of the second; and the commencement of the third.* *Commissioner's departures and arrivals during the meeting are noted accordingly. June 3, 1980 COMBINED FIRMS: KRIS JAIN & ASSOC. INC.; SOURCE, INC.; GREELEY AND HANSON Mr. Berzon said that the following presentation is a combined effort and he introduced Mr. Kris Jain of Kr1s Jain & Assoc. Inc., Mr. Jim Elliot of Source, Inc., and Mr. Bob Del Ray of Greeley and Hanson. ~Ir. Jain explained that the three firms collectively represent a rc~ourcc of ovcr 400 qualified persons with over 100 year~ of ccmbined knowledge and experience, He said that his own firm is based in Naples; Source, Inc. is from Cape Coral; and Greeley and Hanson is from Tampa. All of the firms are qualified in the field of sewage facility design and follow through with all aspects of the proposed project, said Mr. Jain. He gave a brief description of the backgrounds of each of the three firms, including their respective related involvement in similar projects, and stated that the firms have achieved a good working relationship with the DER and EPA, and have a good rapport with all members of staff related to the proposed project. Mr. Jain also stated that all three firms have experience with "201" projects; and referred to completed projects allover the country with which they have been involved. He urged the Board to consider this proposal because it has the advantages of a small local firm, offering personalizcd services, as well as the knowledge and experience of national firms, offering a broad scope of expertise. He said that the firm of Kris Jain & Assoc. will have the prime resronsibility of acting as liaison and project management heads; Source and GT'eeley and Hanson will be providing technical support in the design, connlensurate wi th the latest design technology, and with regards to EPA, DER, and grant appl ications, etc. He said that the firms have an intimate knowledge of the service area; a good idea of the future growth and ~eeds of the people; and are aware of the need for good planning for the well being of the County. He said that the "201" report has been studied; the general area of service has been studied; the plant has been visited; and, that plant personnel have been interviewed. Mr. Jain stated that he feels this group of firms is aware of all the pertinent facts regarding the needs of the County and the present situation regarding sewage facil ities in North Naples. BOO~ 053 PAGE 489 r I' , \ ~ 'I eDaK 053 PACE '490 June 3, 1980 Mr. Jain stated that the "201" study identified six options for waste disposal; option number five, is secondary treatment via deep well injection; and this method w~s recommended and selected. Mr. Jain questioned the methodology of this secondary treatment as not the most cost effective at this time. He cited the fact that the City of Naples' deep well injection system may cost as much as $8,000,000. Mr. Jain explained that in the three years that have gone by since the "201" study was completed, construction costs have escalated; per- sonal views and attitudes have changed; and the disposal process via deep wcll injection are no longer to be considered the optimum ~.'ethod. Mr. Jain reconrnended that the Board consider other options at this time. * * "" Commissioner Himer joined meeting in progress - Time: 2:30 P.M. * * "" Jim Elliot, of Source, Inc. addressed the topic of the possibility of upgrading the current methods being used at the present plant. He said that even diffused deration plants are easy to operate, there are inherent problems with standardized steel plants such as the maintenance of the steel, blowers, ~tc, He said this type of plant is typically not the most energy efficient; primary treatment is limited; and there are other problems that need consideration. Mr. Elliot said that as part of the project, the combined firms will endeavor to reuse the existing plant facilities to the highest possible extrnt, and it is possible to upgrade these facilities by changing out the existing Spencer Turbine blowers with less maintenance required blowers that have positive displacement. He said a grit removal system could also be designed, a10ng with mechanically cleaned bar screens. Mr. Elliot stressed the need to make energy assessments for these types of systems, and due to recent technology and awareness, there are other a I tcrnatives possible, besides those recommended in the "201" plan. He urged the Board to re-evaluate these alternatives, and to investigate other schemes that may now be viable due to more modern technology and more erlv~nced rcguL:t:::ry philosophies. The following at'~ lht'~~ additional alternatives that Mr. Elliot recommends be considered: f June 3, 198D l. Secondary treatment with discharge to polishing and evapo-percolation ponds. (existing system) 2. Secondary treatment with nitrification filtration and discharge to evapo-perco1ation ponds. 3. Secondary treatment using the bardon-flow-carousel process, with discharge to evapo-perco1ation ponds with recovery of the surcharged groundwater. He said that all three alternatives are viable, and should be considered as carefully as the seven alternatives within the "201" study, Mr. Elliot described alternate number 3, in detail, to give an example of how an alternative may be developed. He covered the two problems south- west Florida systems face. First. the search for an economically feasible water supply, and the satisfying of domestic supply, fire demand, as well as irrigation, etc.; and second, how to economically dispose of wastewater, without degrading the environment. Mr. Elliot pointed out that both ploblems are solved by adopting the alternative numbered three (above), through the reclaiming of treated effluent; treating wastewater via advanced and proven technology; and that these methods are the least energy con- slJllIptive of all the al ternatives. He said that this system is unique, in Lh.lt the cVilporation ponds \~ill be excavated to the groundwater aquifer, and fusiers will be created to allow migration to the treated effluent, dowll into the strata. He said that in this alternative, wells will draw water, at a predetermined distance from the percolation ponds, from the sur- charged aquifer, for raw water to be treated for drinking water standards as well as for gray water for irrigation and fire protection. Mr. Elliot said that ti~is type of system, as he just described, will be el igible for a demonstration grant and for federal grants requir ;~;g innovative technology. Mr. Del Ray, of Greeley and Hanson, concurred with Mr. Elliot regarding eligibility for demonstration grants, and confirmed the expertise in this area by his firm. He noted the rapport with Florida and Federal regulating agencies, and stated that he and his associates have been very successful in obtaining approvals from these agencies in the past. Discussion regarding the type of system that has been implemented in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area took place and Conmissioner Pistor said that he is interested in such a system, whereby water is reclaimed and dispersed BO~K 053 PAGE49i ,. , \ ii BOQ~ 053 PAGE 492 June 3, 1980 for irrigation, sprinklers and golf courses. He asked 1f this would be possible for the County. Several members of the three firms stated that they are aware of this type of system, and have been contributory in the development of this particular system. They reported that the same system has been slJccessful regarding the supply of gray water to residences. However, it was p01nted out. that they have a dual system, and the deep well injection system used during certain times of the year. Mr. Jain suggested that his firm intends to develop much the same type of idea. * * * Commissioner Ilrown left the meeting in progress - Time: 2:28 P.M. * * * Mr. Jain slJllYTlarized the presentation, stating that they propose to re-evaluate the "201" study alternatives; study additional alternatives; study the cost-effectiveness of each; and closely study the deep well injection methodology of disposal. He said that their aim will be to cOllie up with a system that is viable, cost effective, and efficient. * * While Mr. ~erzon invited the next firm to come forward, Commissioner ~'own entered the meeting - Time: 2:35 P.M. * * POSL BLJCK~E~HUH & JERNIGAN, INC. Mr. Roger Hawkins, of Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc., explained his firm's approach to the subject project. He said that Mr. Biery, the Southwest Florida Regional Manager, was unable to attend today, however, Mr. Bob Wright, Assistant Regional Manager, will make the presentation to the Board. Mr. Wright, stated that their approach will stress two points: 1) promptness; 2) innovative design. He said that regarding promptness, the County is facing inflation and reduced funding, and because of the two, every month that the project does not get underway, the costs spiral. He said that inflation could cost the County upwards of $30,000 per month and the possibility of reductions in the percentages of federal grants from the present 75% to 50%, due to cutbacks in federal budgets, could cost the County upwards of $500,000. in grant monies for the SUbject project. June 3, l':luU Regarding innovative design, ~lr. Wright referred to his firm's desire to implement a system that will reduce the capital expenditures for the North Naples facility, as well as reduce the regular operations and maintenance costs. He said they propose to design ~ plilnt that will be energy efficient and thus, cost less to operate. Another factor related to cost savings is that, through an innovative design, EPA grants are available, at this time, for up to 80% of the cost of such a project. He gave examples of how his firm has been successful in using the recommended and most cost cffective design within a "201" program and, by using an innovative design, saving the taxpayers money. Mr. Wright referred to a project in Lee County, that his firm designed, which resulted in a 69% reduction in the operations clnd capital costs of the project, and a 100% reduction in energy costs. IIc outl ined hOlo/ his firm incorporated a sol id waste incineration station at thc plant. and how Lec County will use solid waste to generate the total elcctrical demands of that plant. Mr, Wright pointed out his firm's projected proposed organizational plans on a display drawing for the Board, including the managers, directors, cnvironmental serviccs mandgement; design teams, and support teams. He covered his finn's related dcsign experience and stated that Post, Buckley, :lclwh r. Jernigan, Inc., has been responsible for the total development of ovcr 30 wastewat~r plants Io/ith a combined total of over 210 miles of force mains and gravity sewers. He said that they have also developed some 105 wastewater pumping stations; have worked on 20 "201" programs; and can begin work on this project illTllediately. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Mr. Wright stated that his firm can be prepared for commencement of construction within four to six months, if the permitting and grant approvals go smoothly. He added that the County would be faced with approximately 12 months construction time. There was a brief discussion regarding Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan's contract for the County l~ater Sewer Program. COllTllissioner Brown usked how much money was involved when same alternative was revised. Mr. Wright said that originally his firm would have handled over a $3,000,000 project; and the alternative rcvisions resulted in ~ project costing approximately $266,000. * * * Cormlissioner Wimer left the meeting - Time: 2:40 P.M. * * nr-o * A"",...... r I I 1\ i; n BO~K UbJ PACE 484 June 3, 1980 SMALLY, WELLFOr.D & NALVEN~ Mr. Smally, of Smally, Wellford & Na1ven, Inc., introduced his partner, Mr. Roger Woodruff. lie told the Board that he has been in business approxi- mately 25 years; has qual i fied people available; and has done work in Collier County for approximately 20 years. Mr. Smally reminded the Board that his firm did the "201" plan for western Collier County and that the basic operation that is being considered today picks up where the "201" plan leaves off. Mr. Smal1y said that while there is no easy solution to the expansion of the Area "A" plant, he wished the Board to remember that when the "201" plan was done. there were constraints put on his firm by the EPA and the DER and that the biggest problem was the "no-flow" into the Cocohatchee. He said that his finn fought long and hard in Tallahassee, with the DER, during the development of the "201" plan and he believes the County is ready to have it updated. He cited the escalated construction costs, the new regulations, and the like, as reasons for such updating. He said that the proposed plant that his firm is recolrmending, is that plant that was reco!l~nended by his firlll when they developed the "201" plan. He said that it is the best type of plant in regards to operation and main- tenance; it is simple; has low-energy consumption; and involves no large pieces of eq~ipment. He referred to same plant as an activated sludge plant ann said that it uses the rotating biological discs; it is flexible; and can be added to when :he need arises. He said that this type of pldnt produces a good type of effluent, which is the key. He said the operations of the Immokalee plant, just completed by his firm, could be considered as a model after which to build the North Naples plant. He said that it has an oxidation ditch, equivalent to a triple treatment plant. ~lr. Smally said that during the development of the "201" plan, the deep well injection system of disposal was recommended, based on the "0" waste allocation for discharge into the Cocohatchee, and the DER's notice that no groundwater operations could be implemented without advanced treatment. He explained the deep well type system; referred to a brochure from the Florida DNR that shows Collier County as being within June 3, 1980 the area that is reconmended for such a system; and stated that although a deep well may still be a viable idea it has a lot of unfortunate features. Some of the negative points regarding deep well use for waste dis- posal that Mr. Sma11y mentioned included high costs; unknown.factors regarding costs that are incurred in the testing for such a system; and the fact that this is an unproven type of method. He urged the Board to consider further study regarding the deep well injection method of disposal and said that EPA has backed down from the high associated costs of such a project in the recent past. He suggested that the land spreading matter he considered and said that if the degree of treatment were high enough he believes that the County could obtain permission to dispose on land, or in percolation ponds. He said the matter of the Cocohatchee-related problems should be explored; there is also a possibility of disposing elsewhere during the dry part of the year. Mr. Smally stressed that he bel ieves that if the right kind of effluent is being created in the plant, then, the County should be able to secure permission to discharge into the Cocohatchee. * * * Chairman \o/enzel stepped out of the room during this presentation for a minute, then returned - Time: 2:46 - 2:47 P.M. * * * Commissioner Brown left the meeting in progress - Time: 2:47 P.M. * * Perc(11ation ponds and the possibil ity of expanding them was discussed. Another matter b, ought up by Mr. Smally was a cypress dome which he said should be explored. He said that it is the general approach of his firm to pick up on the "201" process that was completed some two years ago, bring it up to date, and arrive at an assessable program for the North Naples area. He said the project would make use of the same group of personnel that worked on the Immokalee plant. He said the plant that his firm has recon.nended within the "201" plan will work with almost any type of disposal system that can be designed. Commissioner Pistor brought forth the subject of a secondary water system for Collier County, and asked fk. Smally if he believed a secondary water system could be installed for other than just golf courses? He a~~cd if this \'!ould be an economical method of disposal? Mr. Sm~lly s~irl that he does not think it would be possible to obtain permission to com- pletely recycle water and put this back into the human chain; however, -, I MQ~ 053 PAGE 400 June 3, 1980 systems such as that in St. Petersburg are recommended by him very hIghly. lie said that would include use by residential areas for watering la~ms, etc., however, there will still be a need for a secondary system for rainy seasons when people wIll not be using this gray water supply_ * * * Comnlssioner Brown entered the meeting in prograss - Time: 2;55 P.M. * * * Mr. Woodruff entered the discussion and said that this type of a system makes sense from an engineering standpoint; and that the use of a secondary system during the dry part of the year, such as CommissIoner Pistor suggested, will be a selling point when dealing with the EPA and the DER for permIssIon to discllarge Into the Cocohatchee only for part of the year, He said that EPA is giving a second look at the extremely high cost of deep well systems, and that he figures that a deep well system will cost over $2,000,000 just to produce the testing well. He said that he favors a careful s~udy into the use of a secondary "recycl ing" of ~:a s tewa tel'. * * * Conmissioner Wenzel stepped out of the meeting - Time: 2:55 P.M. * * * There was a further discussion regarding the system as designed and set into motion for the St. Petersburg area; the feasibility of use in the fut'Jre of putting an RO process on the end of a treatment plant to provide people with potable water; and the energy savings of various types of systems. Another topic discussed was the growth of high-grade nursery crops in an area called The Meadows, as described by Mr. Woodruff, that uses water provided via secondary treatment measures from a treatment plant, * * * Comnissioner Wimer returned to the meeting in progress - Time: 2:58 P.M. * * * There was some discussion regarding the need for a total system in Collier County; the need for more percolation ponds; the availability June 3, 1980 of acreage for the expansion of ponds; and the pos~ibility of getting the DER and the EPA to r~linquish their position regarding the "0" discharge allocJtion. * * * Commissioner Wimer returned to the meeting in progress - Time: 2:58 P.M. * * * Messrs, Smally and Woodruff concluded their presentation and stated that they would appreciate this contract and could do a good job for the COllnty. * * * CorTlllissioner Wenzel returned to the meeting - Time: 2:59 P.M. * * * I,A TSON AND COMPANY Mr. John Wright, Sr., Market Representative for Watson and Company, introduced tOllr gentlemen thdl will U8 ~drt of the total d8~iYIi l~dlll fur the su~ject project as well as Mr. Darrell March,who is the owner of Marco Island Engineering and wi II be working with Watson and Company on thi s project. Mr. Jim Carter, Chief Engineer for Watson and Comp~ny, addressed the Board and said that the man who will be the principal in the .u~ject project, Mr. D~le Lester, could not be present today, ani that he was acting in his stead. Mr. Carter explained his firm's proposed organizational chart and gave the background of his firm and the respective members of th~ team. He referred to them as a "full service" team including engineers; environmental experts; agency liaisons, planners, design experts; sanitary engineers; construction experts; and the like. He referred to this team as one of professionals with vast experience Jealing with "201" processes, and wastewater projects. Mr. Robert Van Deeman, project manager, spoke regarding schedules, and terms of construction timing. He said that he anticipates that the project will commence immediately and go on through construction over a Lwv )'l:'dr' Lillll:' ~lJdlL H~ dhu ~VVl:"'l:'J olller related "201" experience, Ef'A and OER contact, etc. of the firm. BOQ~ 053 PAGE 497 ~ , I I I' I , BoaK 053 PAGE 4.98 June 3, 1980 Mr. Van Oeeman said that they are the firm that is responsible for the St. Petersburg area's system, and they are presently involved in the EPA funding of over $2,000,000 for a system in St. Petersburg Beach. Continuing, Mr. Van Deeman said that although the City of Naples and the County have approved the "201" plan, the DER and the EPA have not. Hc ~Jid the main problcm deals with effluent disp05al; the County has to finalize step one before entering into step two; and, that his firm has the experience to do just that, r~ferring to the recently completed system in Tampa representing some $13,000,000, for which his firm was responsible. He said that when the Tampa project was completed the total dollars that were spent for alterations and changes represented less than one hal f of Jne percent; this speaks for the exactness with which this firm works, and shows how a design is carried through carefully. Mr, Ed Bugle covered his vast experience with DER, EPA, and FDER. He said that his firm has reviewed Collier County's status with regards to the "201" plan; as of last week, it has not been approved by any of these agencies h"<:,,,,~(O effluent dispos".l ;s the major ~I)nc;ern. He said that one thing that his flrll1 has done in the past, and what OER and EPA were most encouraging about, is to separate the District "A" from the total "201" and have that dpproved separately. He said that what the County needs is a "negative declarat~Dn" from these agencies and he feels that several methods he mentioned to these agencies would be receptive. He said that he feels that he can obtain d "negative declaration" from both DER and EPA within two montlls; begin design 2 months later; the facility could be designed within six months and, within a year, the construction could begin. In response to Commissioner Pistol', Mr. Bugle stated that recently EPA and DER have had a change in po;icy and are interested in more of a "common sense" approach to disposal, due to restraints on money. He said that there is no successful deep well injection in this area of Florida and it has been a "disaster" in Sarasota. He said the OER is leaning towards the deep well in this area, however, they have been receptive to the idea of discharging into a hyacinth pond, such as in Plant City, which ultimately discharges into the Hil1sborough River which supplies the City of Tampa with drinking water. He 5did another alternative mi~ht be June 3, 1980 an elevated pond system. This will have to be determined; however, because of cost, he is sure that EPA and DER would approve either of these methods of disposal, There was som~ discussion regarding the fact that ther~ is no "model program", to which the EPA or the DER can compare. in the area of Collier County. Other thing5 covered werc thc problems of the control structure in the Cocohatchee; the varying water levels of the Cocohatchee and how that affects the structure; and, the fact that during parts of the year there is no water flowing over the structure at all. * * * Commissioner Wimer left the rneeting in progress - Time: 3:15 P.M. * * * The formula for figuring the size of percolation ponds; discharge from elevated polishing ponds directly upstream of the control structure in the Cocohatchee; and, the probability of DER and EPA reaction to these alternatives was discussed. Mr. Bugle stated that although at one time the EPA objected to the concept of elevated ponds they do not object to that concept now. Commissioner Pistor said that he is familiar with the elevated ponds in Pinel ias, and wonders about the cost of construction. Mr. Bugle said that when looking at a twenty year period the ponds are low energy consuming rather than the higher energy costs of a deep well system. He said that Watson and Company is committed to study the matter carefully and develop the most cost effective and energy conservative method that would best serve the area in question. Mr, March, of Marco Island Engineering, told the Board that he is committed to follow the project through and see that all the work is carried out properly. * * * Commi5sioner Wirner returned to the meeting - Time: 3:20 P.M. * * * I BALLOTING PROCEDURES EXPLAINED - CONTINUED TO 6/10/80 Utility Director Bcrzon explained the balloting procedure to the Board and upon two unsuccessful attempts to reach a majority regarding the Board's first choice for a consultant firm. Chairman Wenzel advised BO~K 053 PACE 500 Mr. Berzon that the balloting wculd be continued until next Tuesday, June 10, 1980, when a full Board may be expected. * * * Commissioner Wimer left the meeting to notify Attorney Pickworth that the Board was ready to consider the Emergency matter he has requested be discussed this date. - Time: 3:25 P.M. * * * Comlllissiollcr Wimer returned to the meeting with Mr. Pickworth _ Time: 3:27 P.M. * * * ITEM RE ADOPTION Of RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE AGRICULTURAL CENTER IN IMMOKALEE AS THE DON LANDER AGRICULTURAL CENTER - TO BE PUT ON AGENDA FOR 6/10/80 Chairman Wenzel instructed County Attorney Pickworth to prepare the necessary resolution as per the motion made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried unanimously, that the Agricul tural Center, in Immokalee be designated as the Don Lander Agricultural Center, in respect for Agricultural Agent Do:'1 Lander, ~Iho is nearing his retirement from the County. He asked that this be plar.ed on the agenda for next Tuesday, June 10, 1980 and Commissioner Brown r('qut~sted the press to respect the confidentiality of the matter so as to surprise Mr. Lander next week. Et~F.RGENCY ORIJINilNCE NO. 80-50, RE I1~POSING NINTH CENT GAS TAX PREVIOUSL.Y APPROVED GV REFERENDUM - ADOPTED County Attorney Pickworth explained that the reason he is presenting this oruinance today for consideration is due to the time element relative to the bond issue preparation for the ninth cent gasol ine tax. He said that according to Messrs. Hall, Barksdale, and the Financial Consultant, the closing is scheduled to be complete by September 30, 1980. He said that he has two ordinances for consideration, the first will impose and levy the ninth cent gasoline tax, that was previously approved by referendum, and is authorized under Florida Statutes, and the second Ordinance will enable the issuance of bonds against reven'les from the ninth cent tax.
