EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PRESENTATION OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE OUTSTANDING MEMBER AWARD
FOR FEBRUARY 2008 TO WILLIS P. KRIZ OF THE CONSERVATION COLLIER LAND
ACQUISITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
OBJECTIVE: To recognize and reward an advisory committee member for their outstanding
and dedicated service to Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 21, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners adopted
Resolution No. 2004 -280 to recognize and reward outstanding Advisory Committee members for
their significant contributions to the organization and/or community. The respective committees
nominate the outstanding Advisory Committee members and the Awards Committee (same
committee that currently selects the Employee of the Month) evaluates and selects volunteers
from the nomination forms.
AWARD COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Willis P. Kriz
Outstanding Advisory Board Member for February 2008
Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee
Will has served as the Chairman of the Ordinance and Policy (OPR) Subcommittee of
Conservation Collier for a number of years. His leadership and experience has guided our
committee in creating draft resolutions for purchase policies for Conservation Collier, draft
resolutions for the disposition of properties with TDR's, and recently a revision of the
Conservation Collier's main ordinance correcting some inherent flaws discovered in the course
of doing business and smoothing out procedures. Will chaired the OPR subcommittee through
the most important tasks of the Program, revising the Ordinance and Purchase Policy. The
ordinance revision was delicate because only those things not related to goals and criteria can be
amended without a public referendum. Additionally, there were many stakeholders closely
watching the process to make sure changes were not made that would negatively affect the
program. The Purchase Policy is critical and helps the Program to be fair to all. He attended
every meeting, many times when others were not able to be there, bringing his wealth of
experience at the federal level to the table. He also brings an ironic humor to the process, helping
to make difficult work fim, and a cooperative spirit that encourages wide participation.
Recently Conservation Collier discussed the purchase of the Starnes property, a large property
adjacent to the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Marsh. The property included land leases for
mineral rights. Will Kris, with his land buying experience from years with the National Park
Service, helped lead the committee on this issue. The result was the committee elected to
purchase the property only if the property owner would remove the right to mine minerals from
the property, thus insuring the citizens of Collier County will have an untouched conservation
preserve for generations to come without the threat of surface mining.

As a member of Conservation Collier and the Ordinance and Policy Subcommittee, Will helped
create guidelines for the purchase of lands that is fair and equitable for our willing sellers
program and kept Collier County from being a put into a position of negotiating prices. Our
appraised price policy states clearly we will pay the appraised value of the site, and no more, and
no exceptions. Although we have lost a few opportunities to purchase land as a result of this
policy, public trust in our program continues to be very high and nominations for conservation
lands keep increasing annually.
