ments are contingent on the implementation of a reorganization~l plan by

h~ve confirmed several ,months from now. With reference to the memo given all

of a $1,000,000 Certificate of Deposit and $385.144 in corporate bonds of the
reorganized GAC, adding the new securties are acceptable to County Engineer
Barksdale. As he continued. Mr. Pickworth reviewed each of the agreements
as they appeared in his memo. concluding that Agreement 14 states that the
vacation of pla~s for East Golden Gate will not take place until the con-
firmation of the plan of reorganization, even though. the County will release
the bonding at this meeting.

moratorium in the North Golden Gate area. Mr. Powell stated the documents

to be done in Golden Gate City as early 1980.
September 4. 1979
Nr. Leonard Gilbert. Special Counsel .forCol.lier County and its re-
lilted .natters with GAC. sta'.;ed h'e ~olds .th'e same .position with Polk and Osceol
Counties in the same regard and will be presenting to both those county
commissioners. today, similiar agreements for their acceptance. Hr. Gilbert
wanted the Board to understand that Collier County is not the only county
being asked by GAC to authorize new bonding agreements.
Following Chairman Brown's request for public participation, Mrs.
Don Bisbee. 2400 White Boulevard. Golden Gate Estates. came forward to voice
her concern about the lack of a "fair d~,.l" for any of the people in the
Estates area. saying that the property owners from this area had paid money
for taxes; utilities. etc. with nothing in return. She said she had no answer
to the problem but asked that the Board give this aspect of the problem con-
sideration. County Attorney pIckworth answered that this is In ongoing con-
cern of the County's alsq and. for this reason. the Golden Gate Estates Study
Comn.ittee has been formed and are in the process af formulating a plan that
will draw boundaries in the subject area and indicate where the spending of
monies will be most beneficial for all.
There being no more persons to address the issue. Commissioner
Pistor moved. seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 3-1 with Commissfon~
Wenzel absent and Commissioner Wimer dissenting. with reason. that the
Chairman be authorized to enter into the proposed Bonding Agreements between
Collier County and GAC; to release certain existing bonds. as identified and
to execute same.
Commissioner Wimer asked that the record show his reason for not
accepting paragraphs 2 and 3 of the submitted memo (Said paragraphs correspond-
ing to Agreements 2 and 3) was because he voted in opposition to the County's
acceptance of Golden Gate roads and canals that was covered in motions by the
Board on October. 1977 and could not change his vote as the' two present agreeme
relate to the same area of acceptance. He did say he was voting in the affirrna
tive on Agreements 1. 4 and 5.
