D8nnIa Comt. Dear Sheriff Rambosk:
WIlY" Hook The Collier County Junior Deputies League, Inc. currently owns a 33 acre parcel of land that is
Former ShIriIf Don Hunlllr used to conduct a variety of outdoor activities for youth organizations, special events, religious
groups, school functions and other activities that reflect solid stewardship for the youth who visit
Paul Undabury this campsite or "Camp Di$coveryn.
John Norman To improve the quality of the camp by eliminating the noise caused by gasoline or diesel powered
generators that are necessary for supplying electrical power during our numerous events, it is
WIllIam PotHt essential that we install a more pennanent electrical service system. Florida Power and Light could
perform this work by placing power poles along a designated right-of-way. The electrical service
U... Priddy would then be routed from the "tie-in" or junction, down the desi!,'Ilated right-of-way and to the
central part of Camp Discovery. The benefits would include the ability to host night time activities
SIBIff KlIIIln Rambo8ll during the optimal winter months for the youth andlor campers; reduce the noise caused by large
Ex.Qfficlo generators and will heighten safety considerations directly associated with the operation!
Burt Saundln maintenance of large generators. Bringing electrical service 10 the camp will allow the Junior
Deputies League to fulfill and expand its mission of providing programs and support to the youth of
Danny Sd1rywr, Eaq. our community.
The approximate cost for the installation of electrical power to Camp Discovery is $24,000.00
DIRECTOR EMERmJS according to the FP&L representative who visited the site. This cost estimate is twelve (12) months
old so there could be a minor increase in price. The Collier County Junior Deputies League, Inc is
Former SherllfDoug Hendry requesting from the Collier County Sheriffs Office consideration for this amount to be funded by
the Confiscated Trust Fund (CTF). It is my understanding that fifteen percent (15%) of the total
WlUIam G. Pee., M.D. amount of the CTF could be used for youth prevention programs such as this one. Due to the
economic conditions and the significant downturn in private and community contributions, the
Jack PrIc8 importance for having this funding is paramount in bringing this much needed electrical service to
Camp Discovery.
HONORARY DIRECTORS
Ray Carroll Your immediate consideration for releasing the requested funding ($24,000.00) to the Collier
County Junior Deputies League, Inc. is appreciated! Please contact me at 947-1144 if you have any
