IX. Discussion and Questions Board of County Commissioners and School Board Members 5 April 12, 2006 Clarifying questions on the Timeline were addressed. x. Public Comment Mr. Black read a written formal complaint aloud to the committees stating "This letter is a written formal complaint regarding the lack of permits on construction projects currently undergoing exterior and interior renovations with the District School Board of Collier County. Attached is a list of srecific locations that are in violation of the Code. On Friday March 24t 2006 I stopped by your office at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive to question whether any of the listed properties had permits. A customer service specialist in the Building Review and Permitting Department informed me that no such permits existed. These public buildings are constructed with Local, State and Federal taxpayer dollars; they are also used for hurricane shelters. Our greatest concern is for the health and safety of our children, teachers, and the public that use these facilities. When possible harm, health and safety issues are involved a stop work order may be issued. The District School Board of Collier County has not complied with the law regarding past and ongoing construction and renovation projects. This lack of compliance and lack of concern by the District School Board of Collier County brings up other questions: (1) Do the current projects meet all Local, State and Federal codes? (2) Have the current projects been reviewed and approved by Local, State and Federal agencies? (3) Have the current projects been properly inspected by all agencies? I appreciate your attention to this matter as soon as possible. If you have any questions you may contact me at 239-775-3737." He then asked the Boards two questions: (1) How can Collier County Government delegate the process of permitting and inspection to the District School Board of Collier County when they are not qualified and they do not meet the requirements by the State of Florida, FEMA and the Corp of Engineers? (2) If the County can delegate the Authority then why has the School Board allowed construction and renovation to exist on an ongoing basis without the proper fence in terms of the safety and wellbeing of our children and teachers? 6 April 12, 2006 Ms. Curatolo replied that she will have School District Staff look into the issues. Mr. Baker believes that the allegations are incorrect. Mr. Hardy replied that there are permits for all of the contracts and he has a list of them available for after the meeting. Commissioner Halas assumes that Staff will follow up to answer the questions. Mr. Schmitt spoke with Mr. Black earlier this week as to the powers the School Board has, to do its own permitting and inspections; it is defined within the Florida Building Code. This information was mailed to him. The County does not have any authority to oversee construction on School Board Property. Bob Krasowski asked questions on the use of portable buildings for students, illegal students, and the State energy policy. Mr. Carswell replied that portables are deemed satisfactory student stations. Mr. Calabrese noted that impact fees have not been raised since 1992. He would like to know why it is not set up to have growth pay for growth. Ms. Curatolo commented that School Board members have looked into the issue and will be discussing it at the April 20th meeting. Ms. Carroll thanked Presenters, Staff, and County Commissioners. Commissioner Halas noted that it is a pleasure to be at the meeting and thanked everyone for attending. 7 April12,2006 Ms. Carroll thanked Presenters, Staff, and County Commissioners. Commissioner Halas noted that it is a pleasure to be at the meeting and thanked everyone for attending. XI. Closing Remarks Raymond J. Baker, Superintendent James Mudd, County Manager Mr. Mudd closed by saying that it was a productive workshop and he believes that there will be more. Mr. Baker concurred that it was an excellent workshop, and he will schedule a workshop with his Board to continue the discussion. The planners have done an excellent job. Ms. Curatolo thanked all the participants of the planning and dialog.
