October 16, 1979
of County Commissioners' share of the excess fees is $549.328.90.
Mr. ~ers requested the Board's opinion regarding the practice
insti~uted by various other Florida counties regarding the mailing
out of tax receipts wherebi receipts are mailed back only in the
event the taxpayer encloses ~ stamped, self-addressed envelope with
his payment. otherwise, the taxpayer ret^ins the bottom copy of his'
tax notice, attaching same to his cancelled check when received. The

moved. seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried 4/0 with Commissioner

office space provided for his activities which he said has been
helpful.
Mr. Mike Zewalk. North Naples Civic Association. questioned whether
or not the millage rate could have been affected if it had been known
during the budget preparations the amount of surplus which would be
returned by Mr. ~ers at the end of the fiscal year. Fiscal Officer
Harold Hall explained that in all cases where fees are involved. the
budget includes estimates of the amount of fees to be returned. however.
said Mr. Hall. it is difficult hPcau~~ many fp.p. officers do not know
exactly what the expenses will be. He commented that Mr. ~ers "does
a good jOb getting excess fees returned". He said that in the Sheriff's
budget there are funds returned but it is never known until September
30th of each year because the books cannot be closed until that date.

displayed as being on the south side of Pine Ridge Road, east of
the Hoose Club parking lot. outlining the land-uses existing on the
surrounding propertfes. Ms. Layne stated that the Planning C0m-
mission recommended denial of the petition because the property
is on one of the heaviest-traveled arteries in the County and will be
the main access road to 1-75. thereby causing traffic problems. It
was also noted by Ms. Layne that the staff originally recommended
that the rezoning be approved. however. as a result of the re-study
directed by the Board on August 21. 1979, it is now the recommendation
of staff that the petition be denied. and the Planning Commission has
restated its position for a recommendation of denial.
Mr. Jack Conroy. representing the petitfoner. stated that he
was prepared to accept the decision of the Board in the event that
the petition was denied; how.ver. the pror~rty own-.r~ on the south
side of Pine Ridge Road requested that he present their opinion to the
Board with regard to the zoning of the subject properties. It wa~ his
suggestion that the matter be considered at a workshop session at a
future date at which time the results of the study could be further
reviewed. Mr. Mike Zewalk voiced his concurrence with the suggestion,
commenting on the concern expressed by residents in the area with regard
to any zoning change which would encroach on residential areas.
There being no further persons registered to address the Board.

carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wenzel not present, that the public

AUTHORIZATION GRANTED PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO PROCEED WITH
REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM ORDINANCE 79-62 (FLOOD ORDINANCE) FOR TIGER
~EACH PARK PhVILlIOu.Q9NSTRUCTIOH }
.
County Han~ger C. William Norman reported on the status of the
design and cost estimates for the Tiger Tail Beach improvements,
noting that because of the fact that the Flood Damage Prote~tion
Ordinance was adopted after the basic preliminary concept for the
park was prepared and that. to meet the reqUirements of the subject
Ordinance. an increase in the budget will be necessitated.
Mr. Rollie Rice. Parks and Recreation Director, explained how
complying with the Flood Ordinance will affect the construction of
the bathroom facility for the park. i.e. elevating the height of
the finished floor elevation to 13'. whereas the design called for
a finished floor elevation of 9' for the pavillion. He said that
this change will result in an increase in cost of approximately
$20.000 and suggested that the building would take on the appearance
of a tower constructed at the end of the parking lot. He said that
it is the recommendation of the Department that authorization be
granted to proceed with a request for a variance from the pertinent
ordinance.
Commissioner Wimer, comn~nttng that he had reviewed the data
and the material furnished to the Board with regard to the project.
moved that the staff recommendation be approved. with Commissioner
Archer seconding the motion.
The question of insurance was brought up by Commissioner Archer
with Mr. Norman noting that it would be a staff decision as to whether
or not to include the property for flood damage. He noted that the
cost would be prohibitive if the structure did not meet the required
elevation. Assistant County Attorney Pires stated that he would have
eoOK 049 'A~E442
October 16. 1979
to discuss the matter of whether or not the County's self-insured program
would cover the building and said that he would discuss it with the
Risk Management Coordinator.
It was ,toted b)' the Chairman that Mr. Stanley Hole, of Hole, Montes
and Associate~. desi~ners for the project. was in atten~ance for the
purpose of responding to questions. if any, from the Board.
Upon the call for the question. the motion on the floor carried
4/0 with Commissioner Wenzel not present.
BOARD APPROVES PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT POSITION PRIORITY LIST FOR
FY 1980. AS RECOMMENDED BY C.E.T.A. DIRECTOR
County Manager C. William Norman observed that there is a
current freeze on the addition of C.E.T.A. positions. however. he
said that the P.S.E. Advisory Committee has reviewed the list
of positions which have been applied for trom various agencies and
that a priority list has been established to serve as a guide. ap-
proving new positions as they may become available. Mr. Norman
said that it is the C.E.T.A. Director's recommendation that the
Board endorse the priority list with the fOllowing considerations
to be met before funding said positions:
1. All Contractors meet all Fiscal Year 1980 Assurancesi
2. All Po~ition Training Outlines be specific in detail.
and list at least four skill areas. and
3. The C.E.T.A. Office would have the authority to
deviate from the Priority List to stay within Federal
and State Average Income Wage Guide lines.
Commissioner Wimer moved for approval of the staff recom-
mendation to approve the Fiscal 1980 C.E.T.A. Public Service
Employment Position Priority List subject to the above-stated
considerations. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Pistor and
carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wenzel not present.

47 BOOKS O~ S 3 H GREEN ST~P~ FOR COUNTY USE
There being no objections voiced, Chairman Brown, noting the
presence of Sheriff Aubrey Rogers, called upon the Sheriff for his
comments.
Sheriff Rogers explained that the closeout of the Sheriff's
Department's accounts for the last Fiscal Year has been made and,
after making the budget transfers necessary, there is a surplus of
$87,266.34 to turn back to the County. He said that this figure
includes the return of the contingency funds drawn the first of
the year to pay insurance costs and that much of the funds being
returned are due to the vacancy factors within the salaries section
of the Department. Together with the above-referenced check in the
amount of $87,266.34, Sheriff Rogers also presented the Board with
47 books of S & H Green Stamps which have been obtained as the result
of departmental purchases.
Chainman Brown observed that the Sheriff is doing a wonderful
job.
Responding to Mr. Mike Zewalk. Sheriff Rogers explained that the
funds being returned do not include the proceeds from the sale of
confiscated equipment. vehicles, and the like. during the past year,
and noted that approximately $100,000 was turned over to the County
several months ago following receipt of same from such source. He
explained briefly the procedure for disposing of these types of
confiscated items.

employee of the subject department. who has done an outstanding
job working in the department and who, in his opinion, will do a good

BID 1379 FOR ADDITIONS AND REMODELING OF IMMOKALEE STOCKADE - BID
REJECTED AND RE-BID AUTHORIZED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 5 and 7, 1979 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication
filed with the Clerk. bids for furnishing labor, materi^ls and ser-
vices necessary for the construction and completion of additions and
remodeling to the Immokalee Stockade were received until September 19,
1979.
I '
County Manager Norman reported that although eighteen local con-
tractors expressed an interest in the subject bid, only one bid was
submitted. said bid being approximately $40,000 over the consulting
engineer's estimate. As explained in the Executive Summary pertaining
to the matter, Mr. Norman said that it appears that the Naples' contrac-
tors were not willing to bid on a relatively small project in the
Immokalee area. and that the contractors in that area were reportedly
not willing to bid because of their concern for what they claim was
"County Red Tape and Slow Pay". He said that the results of the bid are
of concern due to the program for rehabilitating housing in Immokalee
wherein the program's coordinator will be working with the contractors
on the project and the necessity for them to prepare to do business with
the County. It is being recommended, said Mr. Norman, that the bid for
Bid '379 be rejected and that authorization be granted to rebid the
project. with the bid specification modified and a pre-bid conference
held to furthe~ advertise and encourage competition.
Commissioner Pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Archer and
carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wenzel not present. that the recommenda-
tion by staff be approved, as stated above.
Later in the session, responding to a question raised by Mr. Mike
Zewalk with regard to whether or not the County has earned the reputa-
tion for slow payment. Fiscal Officer Harold Hall said that from time
to time there are situations where payment is slow and the reason generallJ
October 16, 1979
is that the bills are not properly documented and until the three
prerequlsites are received. i.e. a contract. a statement that the goods
or services were received in total. and a valid vendor invoice, the
bills are simply not paid. Mr. Hall said that sometimes it takes
a little while to get those things together, especially on construction
work. Ordinarily. said Mr. Hall. payments are mad. within about ten days,
as a general rule.
RESOLUTION 79-160 WAIVING PAYMENT OF UTILITY CONNECTION FEES PRIOR TO
CONNECTION RE WIGGINS STATE PARK - ADOPTED
Commissioner Archer offered a proposed resolution for Board
consideration with regard to the waiver of provisions of a Collier
County Ordinance which requires the payment of systems development
charges. meter-tapping charges, deposits. and the like. prior to
any connection thereof for the State of Florida Department of Natural
Resources. Division of Recreation and Parks. for the project known as
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Recreation Area. He said that "We can't
install. or connect, before they pay. and they can't pay before it's
installed or connected". Therefore. he continued, there is a problem
M~. Ern@~tine StephAn, Administrative Assistant - Utility Division,
explained that the State of Florida has been going over with the Utility
Division plans, and the like. for the connection of the existing faci-
lities in the subject area. She said that in June, 1979, a letter was
submitted to the State agency. which they have agreed to, and that a
purchase order was issued to the Board for the p~nt of $16.581 which
is due the County for the connection of the sewer facilities and the
water facilities to the County's system. They have subsequently sub-
mitted a letter. said Ms. Stephan, stating that the State cannot pay
the charges prior to their connection because to do so would be a vio-
lation of Florida Constitution Article 7 - Section 10. and Florida
Statutes 215.422 - Section 1. Therefore. she continued. a waiver of
these fees prior to connection has been requested, and that once the
connections have been made. payment to the County in the amount of
$16.581 will be made.

pay the sum of $20.000 when a full-time law enforcement officer or
fireman employed by the Board is killed while in the performance of
his/her duties. and that if the Board does not have such insurance
policy. the Board is deemed self-insured. He said that bids from
two firms met the requirements. the lowest of which is reflected in
the tabulation of bids provided with the Executive Summary with re-
gard to the matter and that it is the recommendation of the Risk
Management Coordinator. the Clerk's office and the insurance consul-
tant that the insurance be obt~lned from Dankers Life and Casual~
Company.

carried 4/0 with Commissioner Wenzel not present, that Bid 1364 for
