CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Ladies and gentlemen, the meeting
of the County Commission will please come to order.
We have with us today Pastor Eric Hausler. He's the chaplain of
the Collier County Jail and the pastor at the Christ King Presbyterian
Church in East Naples.
And, Eric, we really appreciate you being here with us this
morning.
If you'd all please rise.
Item #1A
INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PASTOR HAUSLER: We live in very perilous times and
frightening times in some parts of our country. Everybody in
governing authorities -- positions of authority need wisdom, so we'll
pray for wisdom for you today and the days ahead.
Proverbs 18:5 says, the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
Proverb 16:16, how much better to get wisdom than gold.
Let us pray as we ask God's blessing on those who rule over us.
Gracious Heavenly Father, we bow our heads before you
because you're the God who made us and all things, and you're the
one who's placed us in this sweet part of the country that we call
Collier County, Florida; Naples. Thank you, Lord, for the sweet life
we have here.
Now more than ever those in positions of government at all
levels need wisdom. Who knows what the next few weeks will hold
for us even here in Collier County.
Oh, Lord, we pray that you would give great wisdom to our
March 10, 2020
Page 3
governing authorities, have mercy on them, give them knowledge and
understanding. We pray for your blessing upon any deliberations that
occur in light of this coronavirus as it approaches closer and closer to
our own county here.
Oh, Lord, we pray for our first responders and law enforcement
officials and healthcare workers. Have mercy on them all. Watch
over, guard, and protect and keep them and us and our families. We
pray for your blessing on this meeting. We pray that all will go well;
that you would give wisdom even today to those who make decisions.
We pray for your blessing, because without it we have nothing.
We ask all these things in your most precious and powerful
name. Amen.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: If you'd please remain standing.
Commissioner Taylor, would you lead us in the pledge?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'd be honored.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)
Item #2A
TODAY'S REGULAR, CONSENT AND SUMMARY AGENDA
AS AMENDED (EX PARTE DISCLOSURE PROVIDED BY
COMMISSION MEMBERS FOR CONSENT AGENDA. –
APPROVED AND/OR ADOPTED W/CHANGES
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: I want to welcome everyone this
morning. We're going to be practicing social distancing here in
Collier County. So we're going to forego handshakes and fist bumps
and elbow bumps and that sort of thing. So hopefully no one will
consider us to be rude. But this is to protect the public, and it's the
right thing to do.
March 10, 2020
Page 4
And we will have a little presentation from our Department of
Health and our Emergency Management folks this morning to let the
public know what steps the county is involved in in dealing with the
coronavirus issue to give some comfort to folks that the county is on
top of these things. So we'll get into that momentarily.
Next on our agenda is the approval of today's regular, consent,
and summary agenda.
MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Yes, sir.
MR. OCHS: If I may go through a few staff changes before the
Board sets this agenda.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Yes.
MR. OCHS: I have a couple of changes proposed for today's
agenda of March 10th, 2020.
The first proposed change, as the Chairman just indicated, was
to add Item 5B. This will be a presentation and update by your
Collier County Public Health Department director, Stephanie Vick,
and Emergency Services director, Dan Summers, regarding the
COVID-19 virus. Again, that's Item 5B, and that will be heard
immediately after the Board sets this morning's agenda.
The next proposed change is to move Item 16A9 from your
consent agenda to become Item 11E. This is a recommendation to
advertise and bring back for a future public hearing a series of Land
Development Code amendments that were previously directed by the
Board, and we would like to present those and get some discussion to
make sure we're 100 percent clear on where the Board wants to move
with those. That's a staff request.
And, finally, the final staff request is to withdraw Item 16D3.
This is a proposed interlocal agreement between the county -- a
number of counties in Southwest Florida and the University of
March 10, 2020
Page 5
Florida Agricultural Extension Services.
We got a late call from Hendry County yesterday that they had a
few minor revisions still that they wanted to make. So we'd like to
just withdraw this for one meeting, get those minor corrections back
inserted in the agreement, and put this back on a future agenda.
Finally, Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, we have one
time-certain item, and that is Item 13A. This is the presentation of
your Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, and that's scheduled
to be heard immediately after your 5A presentation of business of the
Month.
And those are all the changes that I have, sir.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. We'll see if there are any
changes.
Mr. Klatzkow, did you have any?
MR. KLATZKOW: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. Commissioner
McDaniel?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Good morning.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have no changes nor any
disclosures on the ex parte items.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No changes. No disclosures.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: No changes, no corrections, and ex
parte. I have no disclosures.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Okay. Same here, I have no
disclosures and no changes.
Does the Clerk have any changes?
THE CLERK: No, sir. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. Then we need a motion
March 10, 2020
Page 6
to approve the regular, consent, and summary agenda.

Item #5B
PRESENTATION AND UPDATE BY COLLIER COUNTY
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR, STEPHANIE
VICK AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DIRECTOR, DAN
SUMMERS, REGARDING COVID-19 – PRESENTED
MR. OCHS: Commissioners, that moves us to your Item 5B.
This is a presentation by Public Health Department director,
Stephanie Vick, and Emergency Services director, Dan Summers,
regarding the COVID-19 virus.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning, and thank you for
being here.
MS. VICK: Good morning, Commissioners.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Good morning.
MS. VICK: Thank you for having me here.
We're here this morning to talk about COVID-19. I think some
of you have heard some of my presentation so far, so some may be
repetitive to you, but I think you'll notice new information.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Yeah. And the main purpose of
this is for the public to hear this. So most will not have heard that, so
don't worry about being repetitive to us.
MS. VICK: Okay. So as you know, COVID-19 hit Florida on
March the 1st. There were -- there were two cases that were picked
up in Florida. And at that time, the governor declared a state of
emergency, and the state surgeon general also declared a public
health emergency.
But we had been working on this -- the local health departments
had been working on this as soon as we saw the situation that was
evolving in Wuhan, China, and dusting off our plans for pandemic
March 10, 2020
Page 8
flus, which this is not a flu but it is similar as to how it spreads. So
we've been working on that.
We take our direction from -- the Department of Health takes
their direction from the CDC, to which the local health departments
take their direction from the CDC and the Department of Health
overall.
Our Epidemiology Department continues to investigate possible
COVID-19 exposures just as they did and do with other reportable
diseases and new viruses. If you'll remember what happened with
H1N1, Ebola, and Zika, we investigated those things and followed
up, and we do the same thing now. We are prepared and we continue
to investigate.
Okay. We've been working with our community providers, such
as the hospitals, EMS, fire, Emergency Management, the school
district, clinics such as the Neighborhood Health Clinic, and the
Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida. In fact, we have now a
community partner call that occurs once a week. And then if there is
additional information that comes out, we make sure that that's either
faxed out or emailed out so that everybody's up to date at the same
time.
We're beginning at this point in time to offer small community
presentations upon request. But, again, we're also trying to avoid
unnecessarily bringing together large groups of people into small
spaces. So it's something that we try to work with the people that are
requesting it so that we can do social distancing at the same time.
Okay. So on this slide, you'll see the situation changes daily, if
not hourly, as to how many cases are in our state, and this was current
as of noon yesterday. But in the same way that happened to our
governor when he was here on Friday, it changed last night so that
there is an additional case in Volusia County. So where it says
March 10, 2020
Page 9
Florida has 18 cases, we actually have had 17 cases to date, and of
those, 18 would have been Florida residents.
Some of them are diagnosed in Florida, as you can see, 12 of
them, so that would now be 13. You just have to add a number here
and there. Five were diagnosed in another state; however, they've
been repatriated to Florida, and one was confirmed positive, but it
was not our resident. So -- and that case still remains isolated in our
state.
So right now, in the state we have 115 cases pending, and we've
had, so far, 140 negative cases. So -- and of all the cases that we've
done, there are cases that continue -- or potential cases that continue
to be monitored. So as you can see, there's, right now, 1,104 people
monitored to date, but currently only 302 being monitored. And
when I say "monitored," those people are self-isolating at home
taking their temperatures, in contact with the health departments daily
so that we know their symptoms, their temperature. And if they pass
the 14 days, then they're like the rest of us.
Okay. A lot of people are wondering how COVID-19 is spread.
It most often spreads from person to person. You need to be closer
than about six feet, hence the social distancing. And we try to keep
people and encourage you to stay about six feet apart when you're in
community situations.
We believe it's spread through respiratory droplets from an
infected person who coughs or sneezes and spread through close
contact.
So if you shake hands, if you're hugging people, then that
increases the risk. But it's important to also realize that not every
single person shows symptoms that is infected. And so that is
evolving into not only are we concerned about people coming back
from the specified countries but, again, we're concerned about close
March 10, 2020
Page 10
situations with people because you're not sure who would be infected.
So the symptoms are much like the flu in the beginning. You
have a fever, a cough, you get body aches, but then the hallmark of
COVID for people that morph and progress into being sicker with
COVID infections is great difficulty in breathing. So those that are
particularly at risk happen to be our older population and people with
comorbid conditions such as asthma, COPD, kidney disease. Those
are the people that are most at risk at this time. So those symptoms
can come two to 14 days after you are exposed to the virus.
Testing right now is only available through public health. Now,
that is to change soon. We don't have a specific date. It could be
tomorrow. It could be the end of the week. But we are promised that
there is going to be commercial lab testing soon; however, right now
it's a two-step process. The test that's being used was approved at the
CDC by the Food and Drug Administration who requires that any test
that is made available to the states then needs to be confirmed at the
CDC.
So let's say someone presents to the Health Department. We
send a test into our state lab, and it goes to one of three state labs:
Miami, Jacksonville, and on the panhandle. And then -- well, Tampa,
really, has taken over where the panhandle has been. So they test. If
it's positive, then that test goes to the CDC. So when we test it and
it's positive, it's a presumptive case. It goes to the CDC and it's
positive, it's a confirmed case. And until the cases are confirmed,
they are not reported in Florida.
So some of the risk factors, the big one, is for people that have
traveled to the countries that are being monitored, and that happens to
be -- China is the big country, Iran, Italy, South Korea, Japan, and
Hong Kong. Japan and Hong Kong are considered a little lesser risk,
but everyone, when they come back to our country from those
March 10, 2020
Page 11
countries, are being asked to self-isolate for 14 days. And when you
self-isolate you're staying in your house. If you have family
members, you're trying to stay as far away from them as possible,
have a separate room that you sleep in, use a separate bathroom if
possible. If not, practice hygienic cleaning after your use of that
bathroom, and do that for the 14 days. Don't go out of the house to
go shopping. Don't go out of the house to go to presentations. Stay
in your home.
So -- but it's important to realize, as I alluded to earlier, that the
risks may change over time. If this becomes more of a
community-acquired virus, then we won't be focusing really on the
travel. It's more just on community containment.
You need to know there is no vaccine right now, and it's not
expected for at least a year. There are no medicines for this. Pardon
me. Darn allergies. Okay. Excuse me. So there is research being
done for antivirals that might work with the COVID-19. And, as I
said, at least a year until a vaccine would be developed and available,
right now, is the prediction.
So what happens if you think you're at risk for having symptoms
of a fever, a cough, or you're having difficulty breathing? What
should you do? First of all, you call ahead to your healthcare
provider, tell them about your travel or your exposure to someone
who's been traveling from those countries and what your symptoms
are. Also contact your Health Department, and I have the number
here on the presentation. Our Epidemiology Department would be
area code (239)252-8226.
If you think you could be infected, you need to avoid contact
with others. Don't travel. Make sure -- and everyone should do this
routinely. Cover your mouth and nose when you're coughing and
sneezing. The best thing to have is a tissue, cough into the tissue, and
March 10, 2020
Page 12
dispose of it right away. Clean your hands. Wash your hands often
with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. I know that's difficult.
You may not be close to soap and water, but the antiseptic hand
washes and alcohol is difficult to get these days. So the most
effective thing is washing your hands, soap and water, soap and
water.
But if you can't -- if you can't get to a sink, then that's the time to
use your antiseptic hand cleaners. Okay.
And for people that don't have symptoms but they're coming
back from those countries or they've had contact with someone who's
coming back from those countries, we still are monitoring them for
symptoms for 14 days. So we are requesting them -- and actually
now for four of the countries, so excluding Japan and Hong Kong.
It's -- we're mandatorily saying that you need to self-isolate
voluntarily.
But if there is a case where someone is not complying -- and we
are monitoring those people, I want you to know. But if there's a
case where someone is not complying and we truly need them to be
quarantined and self-isolate, there is a way that, through our legal
counsel in Tallahassee, that I can compel someone to stay in their
home.
Okay. I think we pretty much went over this one.
So the measures that I've been discussing about staying home,
we need to take this very, very seriously, particularly in our
community -- our community. The people that are most affected by
this happen to be the older population. In our county we have at least
a third of our population is over the age of 50, and the most
vulnerable population are those people that happen to be in the
nursing homes and assisted living facility and the people that are
getting dialysis.
March 10, 2020
Page 13
We need to be smart about this. It's an affluent community. We
have lots of people who are traveling all over the world. And though
they may have flown back in from South Africa, it doesn't mean that
they may not have been to China on their trip.
So it's upon all of us to take precautions. Think about the people
that are most at risk. If you're a son or daughter or a close friend of
someone who's in a nursing home and you've traveled to these places,
you need to let authorities know. You need to stay out of the nursing
homes until you're sure that you do not have the virus. We need to,
as a community, practice social distancing knowing that there is not
medication for this. There's no vaccine. The best way we can -- we
can protect our community and protect ourselves is by hand washing,
staying six feet away from people, covering your mouth and your
nose if you sneeze or you cough.
Try to keep your hands away from your face. And it's more
difficult than you think, if you haven't tried it yet. But let's say that
your eye's itching and you just have to scratch it. Well, get a tissue,
wrap your finger in a tissue, itch your eye, and then dispose of it, and
then that way you're not exposing your eye to other germs.
So I've put up here other resources for you to go to. The CDC
pages on coronavirus are updated daily. The DOH web pages on
COVID are updated daily. There is a call center, if you have
questions, that is open now 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and
that's the 1-866-779-6121 number. And then also you can do
questions through the email, and that's COVID-19@FLHealth.gov.
And always, if you have questions locally, you certainly can call your
local Health Department, and particularly the epidemiology number
that I placed up there.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Okay. Thank you.
Before we get to Commissioner Taylor, one of the things I
March 10, 2020
Page 14
wanted to mention to the Commission is that I've talked to the
manager about trying to limit our public meetings, items that are not
necessary, proclamations and things like that. We probably are going
to forego those for a couple of months, then we'll catch up later,
employee awards, those types of things. We're going to try to
minimize the crowds that we have here, and that's to protect those
crowds from any contact.
So I want to thank you for giving that information to the public.
We do have -- Mr. Summers is going to make a presentation, and he
may answer whatever question you have.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. I don't think so.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. Commissioner Taylor.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So have we been able to
positively, as a nation or as the world, identify the COVID virus?
Meaning, we know that this is -- this is -- we can identify it. This is
definitely COVID-19.
MS. VICK: Yes.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: How long have we been able to
do that?
MS. VICK: Well, China was first -- was first reporting this, and
so it was back towards the end of the -- the end of 2019, and it
continued to spread in China. And so through documents that came
out and communicated through CDC, through WHO, the World
Health Organization, and we've been following it towards the end of
2019.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. And then the second
question, and my last question, is: Can one immunize one's self
against it if one -- for instance, children. They say they can pick it
up, and then they slough -- are they immunized now, or is it possible
that this virus can be reoccurring in the same person?
March 10, 2020
Page 15
MS. VICK: Not enough is known about the virus yet to
definitively answer that for you. It is suspected that you can pick it
up again, just like with the flu virus. You can get it year to year. So
that's suspected but not confirmed yet.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, thank you.
You've stressed who have come from other countries, but are
there certain states within the United States? Because people around
here also do travel, and if they don't fly or something, they might
drive here. Are there certain states that would be more susceptible to
having this and bringing it in to us that are already known?
MS. VICK: Well, California and the state of Washington have
been the most prevalent in reporting their cases to date; however,
that's kind of a false sense of security, because now that the testing
has become available, every day there are additional states that are
finding a case in their state.
So, you know, California is a long distance from Florida, but we
have cases, too, and that comes from travel, most likely. And the
virus is not only traveling to us; it's traveling around the country. So
just like you try to prevent yourself from having the flu every year,
you need to take precautions to prevent your exposure to COVID-19.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah. And one quick
question. And, thank you, Stephanie, for the presentation.
You know, you'd talked earlier about the testing. When is
it -- when are the testing methodologies going to be more prevalent
and available?
I think that, just from what I've been able to hear, it's an
identifiable virus, and that would really help us contain it more
March 10, 2020
Page 16
prevalently if we had more availability for the testing.
I was pleased to hear about the double-checking, if you will,
with the testing. If someone does test positive, it goes for another
level before there's actually a diagnosed case, and that certainly helps
with the human error side of things.
So when do you think those tests are going to be more available?
And how -- and, secondarily, how often should people go?
MS. VICK: For testing?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes.
MS. VICK: Well, first of all, you should go to be tested if you
have come in contact with people that have traveled right now to
those countries, or if you are experiencing those symptoms and your
doctor has determined, along with the Health Department right now,
that you meet the criteria for testing. There is an algorithm that we
are following as a health department that everybody else is following
in the state to determine who should be tested and who shouldn't.
But, once again, it is widespread community transmission person to
person, and you don't know exactly where it came from, then that
algorithm will not be used.
As far as the test, the commercial test, I have no specific date as
when it will be available. I am hoping -- the latest count we've been
given is that four million tests should be available nationally this
week. So it could be any day.
But I also want to caution you that it could have been last
Friday, but there seems to be a little bit of a glitch in producing the
tests and getting them out.
So once that happens, it will no longer be a two-step process. It
will be your provider will determine if you meet the criteria for
testing, and they will send the test to the commercial labs like Lab
Corp, like Quest, if you're familiar with those.
March 10, 2020
Page 17
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you very much.
Mr. Summers?
MR. SUMMERS: Commissioners, good morning. For the
record, Dan Summers, director of the Bureau of Emergency Services
and Emergency Management.
And I want to just briefly let you know that, as we have in state
statute, as we have in our Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan, our state plan, we have a partnership in these particular
engagements.
We have the plan, as I've mentioned. As you well know, we
have a battle-tested Emergency Operations Center that we can ramp
up at various levels. We can do a lot of this virtually. We can do
some periodic briefings and meetings and training, set the
framework, and then, if necessary, we can go full activation, of
course.
All of our activities right now are anticipated to be during
business hours, so we're not looking at any particular
after-action -- or after-hours activity.
And we just want to remind the community and our partner
agencies that messaging is so very important during this event. And
we want to stress -- just like we talk about in a hurricane, we want a
single voice. We work as a single team. That's under Stephanie
Vick's direction. Emergency Management and the Sheriff are unified
coordination partners with her. And we want to make sure that we
remind the public that our single voice in this case is under our
Florida Department of Health and Department of Health Collier.
We are working closely at the state level. The state Emergency
Operations Center is also in a similar posture. They have activated a
certain number of emergency support functions that are now working
8:00 to 8:00 in the state EOC, and that's to support information
March 10, 2020
Page 18
management planning. Any resource gathering, any logistical
support the Department of Health may need will be there to support
that.
It's important that -- this is certainly different from our storm
events or our wildfire efforts. Every step, as we work with her team,
is measured. It's incremental. It's set forth. So while there's a lot of
panic and a lot of -- I don't want to say panic, but a lot of interest in
ramping up very quickly, we'll do that on a measured and incremental
basis based as our -- based on our daily assessments.
Our Emergency Medical Services Chief Butcher and
Dr. Tober -- awesome, as always -- have put together their personal
protective equipment resources, training, and protocol for our EMS
personnel for weeks now. I have the allergies, too. For weeks now
our Sheriff's 911 center has been addressing these calls and asking
folks if they've had international travel or if they have flu-like
symptoms so that the crews, the responders, get a heads-up as to what
they may be walking into.
And, again, working with DOH, Emergency Medical Services,
Medical Director, all of those efforts can be ramped up if needed.
On the Emergency Management side of the house, we're
fully -- all of our resources are, as you would expect, 24/7/365, are
ready. We have the ability to continue our coordination closely with
CDC, FEMA, public health, and others.
We have the ability to do all types of messaging, as we've not
only learned from Irma, but we've enhanced those capabilities from
Irma.
Alert Collier. This is one of these great tools that we have in our
back pocket now, and we now have 156,000 contact points in Collier
County, if necessary, to make mass notification. So a great tool that
we have available, and we encourage folks at this opportunity to go
March 10, 2020
Page 19
AlertCollier.com, and if you're not signed in, now's a great time to do
that.
And, again, I just want to stress that we can work on site, and
we've got a lot of horsepower to work remotely as well.
I'm not recommending a local state of emergency at this time,
but we'll continue to follow the state Surgeon General's lead on this
particular issue. Again, our partial activation means that we're
working on this right now at an enhanced monitoring level.
Stephanie has told you that this will be a fluid environment, and
we'll -- on a moment's notice we can escalate or ramp down
depending on the case of current actions. And, again, a single-voice
messaging is so important.
We've already had people posing as FEMA coronavirus
contractors. FEMA is not here on any be official capacity. We've
had folks taking CDC information, cut/paste, modify, and put their
logo on it, et cetera. And, again, we just want to encourage you to let
you know that the single-voice message here coming from the
Department of Health is so important.
We are monitoring supply chains, as we've all seen that on the
news. We have these bullet points from our procurement department
and our ordinance that allows us to continue to address that from a
continuity-of-operations standpoint so that we can continue to operate
to the best of our ability and, certainly, if we have to get into
emergency purchase order type discussions, we'll do that with the
County Manager well in advance and tie that to a local state of
emergency if that becomes necessary.
Again, I think we're doing well. I feel very, very comfortable
about our framework, our ability to manage, coordinate, work with
our partners. All the framework is set and ready on go to assist the
Department of Health as needed.
March 10, 2020
Page 20
Collier EM, the additional websites -- and, again, so that you're
going straight to those locations for additional information will be
most helpful.
I'll be happy -- either one of us will be happy to take any
questions.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: I want to thank both of you for
providing that public information. The purpose of this, again, was to
inform the public of sources of information and what the county is
doing. And as I mentioned at the beginning of the meeting, we're
going to be taking steps to minimize people's exposure here in county
government. As a matter of fact, one of the issues that I mentioned to
the manager was the curtailing of our advisory board meetings, things
of that nature, things that are not necessary, we're going to try
reduce --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Our what meeting?
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Some of our advisory board
meetings and things of that nature that -- if it's not something that's
critical, then there's no need to put anybody at any risk.
Again, thank you very much. Let's move on to proclamations
and --
MR. OCHS: Yes, sir.
Item #4
PROCLAMATIONS – ONE MOTION TAKEN TO ADOPT ALL
PROCLAMATIONS – ADOPTED
Item #4A
PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING MARCH 2020 AS
March 10, 2020
Page 21
AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH IN COLLIER COUNTY –
ACCEPTED BY DENNIS SANDERS, COMMUNITY
VOLUNTEER LEADER – ADOPTED
Item 4A is a proclamation designating March 2020 as American
Red Cross Month in Collier County. To be accepted by Dennis
Sanders, community volunteer leader. If you'd please step forward
and receive your proclamation.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: And as I said, we're going to take
photos, but we're not going to shake hands.
(Applause.)
MR. SANDERS: I know we're not shaking hands.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: But you will have an opportunity
to speak. But we want to take some photos.
MR. OCHS: Sir, if we could get a photo first. Right in the
middle.
MR. SANDERS: Let me open this up. We'll do it this way. Is
that good?
Thank you. Well, good morning, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
MR. SANDERS: My name is Dennis Sanders. I am the
community volunteer leader for the American Red Cross here in all
five counties. Unfortunately, the executive director, Jill Palmer,
couldn't be here today. Usually it's the two of us doing this. So, once
again, thank you from her.
I would -- you know, it's a hard act to follow because of what's
going on with this -- with the spreading of this disease; however, just
know that the American Red Cross is the backup quarterback when it
comes to disasters. And when it comes to disasters, we're there. We
give about 40 percent of blood that is needed. We provide shelter
March 10, 2020
Page 22
and food and other necessities when there are disasters.
And just to show you that we are also preventative, we do -- we
have done about 500 fire alarms that we install for free in individual
homes. So the American Red Cross is standing there.
Once again, thank you for your proclamation. I know you're
very tight on time. Do you have any questions for me?
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Any questions?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you very much, and thanks
to the Red Cross for all that you do.
MR. SANDERS: Thank you very much.
(APPLAUSE.)
Item #4B
PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING MARCH 21, 2020 AS SAVE
THE FLORIDA PANTHER DAY IN COLLIER COUNTY –
ACCEPTED BY JOHN COURTRIGHT, FRIENDS OF THE
FLORIDA PANTHER REFUGE, AND ADRIENNE MARTIN,
FLORIDA PANTHER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE –
ADOPTED
MR. OCHS: Item 4B is a proclamation designating March 21st,
2020, as Save the Florida Panther Day in Collier County. To be
accepted by John Courtright, Friends of the Florida Panther Refuge,
and Adrienne Martin, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge.
(Applause.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
MS. MARTIN: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is
Adrienne Martin. I'm the outreach ranger for the Florida Panther
March 10, 2020
Page 23
National Wildlife Refuge, and this is John Courtright, our vice
president of the Friends of the Florida Panther Refuge.
On behalf of ourselves as well as the refuge and the friends of
the refuge, we would like to thank the county commissioners as well
as residents of Collier County for recognizing March 21st as save the
panther -- or Save the Florida Panther Day.
We feel that panthers are an iconic symbol of Southwest Florida
and, in our personal opinion, a symbol of partnership. The
partnerships that have been forged in this county have helped the
Florida panther move from the brink of extinction and take its first
steps towards recovery.
We look forward to continuing these partnerships and working
with the community to secure an even brighter future for the Florida
panther.
Thank you.
(Applause.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you.
Item #4C
PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING MARCH 10, 2020 AS
GENTLE'MEN AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DAY IN
COLLIER COUNTY – ACCEPTED BY LINDA OBERHAUS,
JOHN JORDAN, JIM JESSEE, AND ROBERT CAHNERS –
ADOPTED
MR. OCHS: Item 4C is a proclamation designating March 10th,
2020, as Gentle’men Against Domestic Violence Day in Collier. To
be accepted by Lindy Oberhaus, John Jordan, Jim Jessee, and Robert
Cahners. If you'd please step forward.
March 10, 2020
Page 24
(Applause.)
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Good morning. Thank you.
MR. JORDAN: Good morning. My name is John Jordan, and I,
along with these distinguished gentlemen, am a founding father of
Gentle’men Against Domestic Violence, an all-men initiative of the
Shelter for Abused Women and Children.
We would like to thank the Commission for recognizing the
significance of Gentle’men Against Domestic Violence Day.
In 2018 there were more than 1,600 domestic violence calls to
911 in Collier County. These calls represent nearly every
neighborhood in our community. GADV was established in 2008 by
a group of like-minded men with a mission of calling on men to stand
as equal partners with women to end domestic violence and human
trafficking in Collier County and beyond our borders. Our goal is to
empower men to end all forms of violence against women by
educating ourselves and the community, raising awareness, and
creating social change.
We call on men to examine and challenge their own thoughts
about gender and to be a role model of gentleness. If you are a parent
or guardian, educate and reeducate your sons, your grandsons, and
other young men about our responsibility in ending domestic
violence. Challenge traditional images of manhood that stop us and
will stop future generations from actively taking a stand to end
violence against women.
On this day and every day, we call on men to stand with us and
recognize that violence against women is not the responsibility of
women, and the violence will not end until men become part of the
solution to end it.
Men must take an active role in creating a cultural and social
shift that no longer tolerates violence against women, and we thank
March 10, 2020

you for your support.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you, sir.

Commissioner Fiala and Commissioner Taylor. We are all working
together to make sure that the working relationship between the Clerk
and the county is good, and the benefit of that to the public is that we
have better services to the public, we have better activity in our

Page 29
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Are you going to tell us how
successful you are?
MS. LYNCH: Yes, I am.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Please do, because you are. It's
sold out year after year after year after year.
MS. LYNCH: Thank you so much.
I'm Elizabeth Lynch, director of development. And on behalf of
Classic Chamber Concerts, I would like to extend our sincere
gratitude and appreciation to the Greater Naples Chamber for this
honor, and thank you, Commissioners, for this opportunity to share a
little about who we are and how we add to the culture and quality of
life in Collier County.
Classic Chamber Concerts is celebrating its 25th anniversary
season of bringing the greatest master pieces of Chamber music to
the Naples audiences performed by world-class artists at the height of
their careers. We present a six-concert season performing at Sugden
Theater and First United Methodist, both located in downtown
Naples.
We join audiences worldwide this year in celebrating the 250th
anniversary of Beethoven's birth, and it just happened to land on our
opening night.
Educational outreach is a key feature of our mission. Our
world-class artists visit various Collier County schools the morning
following the performance, which is this morning, to conduct a
master class. This provides an opportunity for students to play, the
artists to listen, and then exchange suggestions to improve their
overall technique. The artists then perform a piece for them as well.
This inspiring interaction is followed by a friendly Q & A about
life as a professional musician. Our aim is to inspire and empower
students to realize, with practice and dedication, any dream is
March 10, 2020
Page 30
possible. We are not only expiring greatness but developing the
audience of the future.
We already are in the planning stages for next season to broaden
our community outreach bringing the opportunity of experiencing
classical music into community groups that might not have the
opportunity to have experienced this as yet.
We at Classic Chamber Concerts know that the arts, especially
music, touches the soul and enriches life. We are dedicated to
continue sharing this passion with our community.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you.
(Applause.)
Item #13A
PRESENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL
FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND AUTHORIZATION TO FILE THE
RELATED STATE OF FLORIDA ANNUAL LOCAL
GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL REPORT WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES – PRESENTED;
MOTION TO ACCEPT REPORT – APPROVED
MR. OCHS: Commissioners, we move now to Item 13A on this
morning's agenda. This is a presentation of the Comprehensive
Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30th, 2019, in an
authorization to file the related state of Florida Annual Local
Government Financial Report with the Department of Financial
Services.
March 10, 2020
Page 31
Mr. Derek Johnssen from the Clerk's agency will begin the
presentation.
MR. JOHNSSEN: Thank you so much, County Manager. I
can't believe I'm up here already again so soon.
Again, Derek Johnssen, finance director for the Clerk's Office.
Today, during Government Finance Professionals Week, we are
pleased to present to you the 2019 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report.
This annual project only comes to fruition through the efforts of
many people: County staff, county management, County Attorney's
Office, department directors, and the staffs of the constitutional
officers. All of the agencies at the county are consolidated into the
document being discussed today.
With me today to briefly summarize the results of the 2019 audit
is your audit partner in charge, Mr. Chris Kessler. We will, of
course, be available for questions after the brief presentation.
Thank you.
MR. KESSLER: Good morning. So thank you for the
introduction, Derek.
And with me today also is Marty Redivan, a familiar face, I'm
sure, to all of you. Don't want to leave him out of the introduction
here as well.
So, you know, as Derek said, we're here to talk about the 2019
financial statement audit for the county and just some of the agenda
of what we're going to talk through today.
We're going to talk through the services we performed, some of
the reports that we as the auditors do deliver that are included within
your CAFR, the results of our audit procedures, some required
communications that we have to make to you-all, and then just
conclusion and pause for any questions, comments, anything like that
March 10, 2020
Page 32
from you-all.
So kind of as a refresher. This hasn't changed from year to year,
but the services that we provide, there are three main things that we
do over the course of our audit procedures, and the first is we audit
your financial estimates. So that is the CAFR that Derek was holding
up there. Those are, you know, numbers that are reported as of
September 30, 2019. We do perform our audit under government
audit standards.
We also test federal compliance, and this is the federal
programs, the grants that you-all receive as a county from the federal
government. We audit programs to make sure that you-all are
spending the money as the federal government wants you to spend
that money.
And then we do the same thing with the state compliance. The
state programs and grants that you-all are receiving as well as an
examination of compliance with certain state statutes over
investments and how you use your E911 funds.
So the reports that we deliver, the first one is our Independent
Auditor's Report. This is our opinion. This is what goes within our
final statements.
The second is the long title on here. It's the Independent
Auditor's Report on Internal Control. This is internal control over
financial reporting. The second is our Independent Auditor's Report
Over Compliance, and this is the Single Audit Report. This is our
opinion on compliance with federal and state grant guidelines.
We also issue a management letter as required under the rules of
the Florida Auditor General. We will issue an Independent
Accountant's Report on our examination procedures over investment
compliance and E911 compliance, and then we issue a governance
communication letter. We're going to hit some of that today. Just
March 10, 2020
Page 33
some things that I want to highlight that I think is important for
you-all as the Board of County Commissioners to hear, but there's
also a letter that summarizes the results of our audit.
So the result of our procedures: Our Independent Auditor's
Reports has an unmodified opinion. This is a clean opinion. This is
the highest level of opinion that you-all can receive on your financial
statements.
The second report that we issue is our Auditor's Report Internal
Control. There were no material weaknesses or findings reported
within this report.
The third report is our Single Audit Report. There was an
unmodified opinion on compliance for all of our major programs. No
material weaknesses were noted, but there were other matters of
noncompliance noted within our report. We do have a significant
deficiency in internal control related to compliance as well within
that report.
The management letter, we had no suggestions for improvement,
no comments reported there, and then our Independent
Auditor -- Accountant's Report had unmodified opinion on
compliance which, again, clean opinion over the investment and
E911 compliance.
So some areas of required communication that, you know, we
like to highlight, because we do think it's important for you-all to
hear this from us because they are things that stick out from our audit,
if you will.
Within your final statements, there are a couple areas of
significant estimates that are, you know, subject to judgment, subject
to management bias, and subject to change from year to year. And
these areas are the self-insurance claims liability, the pension
liability, your other postemployment benefits, which is your retiree
March 10, 2020
Page 34
healthcare, benefits for retirees, you know, separate from pensions,
your allowance for doubtful accounts related to EMS billings,
depreciation on the county's capital assets, and then the landfill
postclosure liability.
You know, within these estimates we perform certain
procedures to look at the assumptions and the significant factors that
go into them, and we found that all the estimates were reasonable
and, you know, supported our clean opinion, our unmodified opinion.
We had no difficulties encountered dealing with management,
and no disagreements with management.
So on that note, you know, I do want to say thank you to
everybody for all their assistance with the audit, you know. Putting
together the CAFR is a significant undertaking, and then getting the
audit done is a significant undertaking, and allowing us to be here
today presenting in this timeline so the county's able to file
everything within the statutes, within the requirements.
So, you know, thank you to the Clerk's team, to the County
Manager's team, to the Board's departments, and everybody that has a
factor, not just in preparation of the CAFR, but providing us all of
our audit requests and answering our questions and dealing with
the -- I'd say the constant hammering of questions and audit
procedures that we're doing over the last few months. So it's a great
task, and I appreciate everybody's assistance.
With that said, I'll pause for questions, comments, anything else.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: I don't see any questions from the
Commission.
Ms. Kinzel?
THE CLERK: Thank you, Commissioner Saunders.
I just really wanted to thank the county staff and everyone that
did cooperate.
March 10, 2020
Page 35
I set a timeline for finance to get this done every year, and they
work diligently to meet that deadline. But we couldn't do it without
the participation of all your departments and the cooperation. So I
just wanted to chime in and say thank you on all of that. I think it's
working very well in everything we're trying to do to give the
taxpayers the best information that we can do. So I appreciate that.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you. If there are no other
questions, thank you very much for your presentation.
Do we need a motion to accept the report?
MR. OCHS: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So moved.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Second.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: We have a motion and a second to
accept the annual local government financial report. All in favor,
signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That passes unanimously. Again,
thank you very much.
MR. KESSLER: Thank you all.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: May I ask a question? Just a quick
one.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Yeah, sure. Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Do you want us to return these to
you, Crystal?
March 10, 2020
Page 36
THE CLERK: If you don't need them, we'll keep them for the
public's use if they want a paper copy. Thank you.
Item #7
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON GENERAL TOPICS NOT ON THE
CURRENT OR FUTURE AGENDA
MR. OCHS: Commissioners, we move to Item 7 on this
morning's agenda, public comments on general topics not on the
current or future agenda.
MR. MILLER: Mr. Chairman, I have one registered speaker,
Garrett F.X. Beyrent.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
MR. BEYRENT: Good morning. For the record, Garrett F.X.
Beyrent, developer now for one half of a century; fifty years. Not
always with you guys down here. I did work in New Jersey, and I
came down here instead.
Long story short, I didn't realize when I was formulating my
plan here -- and this is going back to just after Columbine. A month
after Columbine, I came up with a design which was a formula based
on a professor that I met back in college up in New Jersey. His name
was John Nash. He was an economics professor, Nobel Prize winner.
And he told me that everything in life can be formulated in a formula,
an algorithm. I said, you're crazy. You can't do that. So I actually
tried it, and he was right.
So I came up with a formula to resolve school shootings. It's
very simple. It's not simple. It's actually somewhat complicated.
But I came up with a design plan. All you have to do is fill in the
blanks, and that's what I'm here for. I'm just going to give everybody
March 10, 2020
Page 37
a blank copy of this, and they can just fill in what they want. I know
what I want in there. I just want a -- I want a VA soldier's home in
my complex. And I'm the owner of the PUD, so it makes it a little
easier when you've got a little -- when you've got a few friends that
are richer than you are, so -- and this is it. So I'm going to hand it to
that guy right over there. Everybody gets a copy.
And it's really odd, because I was sitting right here and my
phone rang, and I thought, you know, 1987, only one guy in this
room had a cellular telephone. No, it wasn't you, Bill, because you
weren't here that day. It was me. I had the only phone that rang in
this room. And Dudley Goodlette walked to me -- I affectionately
call him Dudley Do Right, because he's a good guy.
He walked up to me. He says, what is that you've got there?
I said, it's called a cellular telephone. It's in a bag, and I got it
from when I was in the army. I was an RO -- I was a yacker.
So, long story short, I thought, this was similar to that. I'm
sitting right here, and the phone rang, and it rang in my pocket
because Mary, the security guard, wasn't here to shut it off for me.
She usually would do that in advance. But now it's how many years
later? That was 1987. So everybody's got a cell phone.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I had my first hard-mounted
one in my car that year.
MR. BEYRENT: Did you? In your car?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You said who -- I had a cell
phone.
MR. BEYRENT: Only the cops had that, Bill.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It was amazing.
MR. BEYRENT: Anyhow, I just wanted to update you and
wish us all through this nightmare we're all going through right now.
Maybe we'll find a kid that has the answer to the coronavirus down
March 10, 2020
Page 38
the road in a project off of Goodlette Road. I don't know. Long story
short, thank you.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you, sir. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Good health.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Interesting history of a cell phone,
isn't it? You never even think about that. That was just yesterday
almost.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, ma'am.
MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, we move to Item 11, County
Manager's report.
Item #11A
AWARDING BID #20-7682 TO WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION
GROUP, INC., FOR THE "IMMOKALEE ROAD (CR 846) AT
WOODCREST DRIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS,"
PROJECTS #60214, #70144, AND #71010, IN THE AMOUNT OF
$1,564,098.50, AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THE
ATTACHED AGREEMENT, AND AUTHORIZE THE
NECESSARY BUDGET AMENDMENTS – APPROVED
Item 11A is a recommendation to award a contract to Wright
Construction Group, Incorporated, for the Immokalee Road at
Woodcrest Drive intersection improvements in the amount of
$1,564,098.50, authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement, and
authorize the necessary budget amendments.
Jay Ahmad, your Transportation Engineering director, is
available to make a presentation or respond to questions from the
Board.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. Let's see if there are any
March 10, 2020
Page 39
questions. I was at a town hall meeting last night, and this was the
subject -- one of the issues, and there were 436 people at that town
hall meeting.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Where was that held?
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That was up near The Quarry and
up at the Heritage. Anyway, they're supportive of this particular
light.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's good for you. That's a
lucky thing.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Do we have any public speakers?
MR. MILLER: Yes, we do, sir. We have one registered public
speaker, Cheryl Ollila.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
MS. OLLILA: Good morning.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: And she was one of the attendees.
MS. OLLILA: Yes, I was.
Good morning, Commissioners. I would like to speak on the
traffic signal installation.
I am the president of The Quarry Community Association. The
Quarry is part of Heritage Bay PUD, although we're separate and
distinct communities, and so we don't have access to each other's
community. Heritage Bay has about 1,200 homes, and The Quarry
has about 900 homes.
I wish to thank Commissioner Saunders for holding his town
hall -- District 3 town hall meeting in our PUD yesterday and also
wish to thank Nick Casalanguida and Trinity Scott for their
presentations.
This meeting was very well attended, as Commissioner
Saunders just alluded to; 436 attendees. And I thank the
commissioner, because we have some pretty hot issues going on in
March 10, 2020
Page 40
our neck of the woods, and I commend him for putting himself kind
of in harm's way. But I thought the meeting went well.
We did have a pre-meeting, myself and a few of our board
members. I have a few with me today, as well as some of the
Heritage Bay board members, and it's resulting from a preplanning
meeting. We have a couple of big issues; one is to gate a
private-owned road of The Quarry community association called
Limestone Trail. I'm not going to waste my time talking about that
today. You'll hear more about that in the future.
I think with our pre-meeting we had yesterday, I'm cautiously
optimistic. We are on a path to get the gates that we want on our
private road through Nick's staff and through Commissioner
Saunders.
What I wanted to say about the traffic signal, it was during a
preplanning meeting that we had on February 18th with the county
that we were informed that we would be part of a cost sharing for that
traffic signal at Quarry/Woodcrest/Immokalee Road. And our
attorney that we hired had a document in his possession which he
showed at this preplanning meeting that indicates that the developer
paid his fair share of the traffic signal. And so we're somewhat at
odds with the county, and I'm just here to say that I want to be on
record that we believe, according to the county documents, that the
developer paid our fair share of that traffic signal, and unless we see
documentation to the contrary, that is our position.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you.
And just for the Commission's information, kind of the way
we've resolved this at this point is that the light will be installed,
assuming the Board goes along with the installation, and then the
issue of cost share and those things, we'll work with the attorneys and
March 10, 2020
Page 41
with our staff, and we'll try to determine what, if any, cost share there
is for that.
So if there's no discussion or questions, we need a motion to
approve.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'll make a motion to approve,
but I do have my light on, sir.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see it.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'll make a motion.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Second.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Unless you want to make it.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: No, no. That's fine.
Commissioner?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'd be happy to make that a
motion.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second the motion.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I am in support of the project.
I just -- you know, as Cheryl said, your neck of the woods is okay
with this light. Our neck of the woods is -- because I represent the
folks that live on the south side of Immokalee Road.
And one of my concerns I brought up yesterday when we were
talking about this is the far south end of Massey and it being a private
road, two-lane road, limited access, and I expressed some concerns
with regard to the increase in traffic.
So I believe that the discussion was that we would be doing
some traffic monitoring just -- traffic counts to ensure that the
increase -- that the excess -- or that the traffic's not going to increase
excessively, number one, and number two, prioritization on the
improvements of Vanderbilt Beach are going to be such that we
can -- because we've got planned improvements for Massey as part of
our Vanderbilt Beach expansion, and that we're going to prioritize
March 10, 2020
Page 42
working on Massey to be able to effectuate the health, safety -- I
mean, because if you haven't traveled Massey, just go for a ride and
have a look. It's a little two-lane private road without sidewalks or
anything. And, I mean, literally, two weeks ago I saw a family
walking up the -- I don't want to call it a ditch, but it was up the
left-hand side of the right-of-way.
So I just wanted to share that as informational purposes that
everyone is looking at this and believes that it can be a benefit for our
community.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Any other comments or questions?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: We have a motion and second. All
in favor, signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That passes unanimously.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: But before we leave that, can --
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Fiala, sure.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: -- I was just say one little comment,
and that is -- I was just writing about this the other day. Jay Ahmad
and your team have done such an excellent job of timing these lights.
I'm amazed at how great it's been to travel at this time of year with
the most tourism that we've ever remembered and the most traffic
and, yet, as you drive from one side of the county to the other, those
lights are all timed. If you keep the speed limit, you never have to
stop.
March 10, 2020
Page 43
So I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done.

Item #11D
REVIEW AN OFFER RECEIVED FROM LSI COMPANIES
INCORPORATED FOR THE ACQUISITION OF 967.08 +/-
ACRES LOCATED THREE MILES EAST OF COLLIER
BOULEVARD AND DIRECTLY NORTH OF ALLIGATOR
ALLEY KNOWN AS THE HHH RANCH OWNED BY FRANCIS
AND MARY HUSSEY – APPROVED
Item 11D is a recommendation to ask the Board to review an
offer received from LSI Companies Incorporated for the acquisition
of 967.08 plus-or-minus acres located three miles east of Collier
Boulevard and directly north of Alligator Alley, a property known as
the HHH Ranch owned by Francis and Mary Hussey.
Ms. Toni Mott will make a brief presentation.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Okay. Let's see if there are any
March 10, 2020
Page 46
questions. We've had conversations about this property in the past,
so I think the Board is probably pretty familiar with it. It's in
Commissioner McDaniel's district. You're probably more familiar
than anyone on this. Do you have any suggestions or comments or --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'd like to make a motion for
approval.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Second.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. We have a motion and a
second.
MR. MILLER: Mr. Chairman, I do have a registered speaker on
this item. Meredith Budd.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Good morning.
MS. BUDD: Good morning, Commissioners. Meredith Budd
on behalf of the Florida Wildlife Federation.
The Florida Wildlife Federation has long advocated for the
preservation and conservation of the HHH Ranch in North Belle
Meade. In fact, in 2017 the Federation nominated the HHH Ranch
for acquisition through our Conservation Collier Program advocating
for the preservation of all about thousand acres. The property
provides habitat for several listed specious. It's foraging and nesting
habitat for the endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker.
The HHH Ranch is occupied habit for the endangered Florida
panther, which -- thank you for recognizing the State of Florida
Panther Day on March I believe it's 21st -- and is the home range for
FP224. FP224 has consistently denned in North Belle Meade, which
is exciting. It's been sighted by FWC to be on property at the HHH
Ranch for some of these den sites.
In 2017 she had three kittens there, in 2018 she had another
three kittens in North Belle Meade, and just last month, in February,
she had another three kittens in North Belle Meade. So -- I believe it
March 10, 2020
Page 47
was on the 18th of February. So it's really exciting, and this is in her
home range.
The importance of North Belle Meade and the HHH Ranch
cannot be understated -- or overstated, excuse me.
It is also an important habitat link for the recovery of the
Red-cockaded woodpecker in North Belle Meade and through the
Picayune Strand State Forest to the south. RCW populations in North
Belle Meade where needed for the recovery of that species within
Collier County.
So the Federation and Collier County, actually, have a clear
interest in protecting this tract of land in North Belle Meade, the
Natural Resource Protection Area in general. If the county does want
to move forward with such initiatives, getting appraisals is a first
step.
So I just wanted to come up here and highlighted those
conservation benefits and the importance of this entire region, and
specifically the HHH Ranch, and this is an important first step to see
if the county is able to move forward with acquisition and, if so,
preservation and conservation of this area is of critical importance.
Thank you so very much.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you. Any other speakers?
MR. MILLER: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: We have a motion and a second. If
there are no other questions, all in favor, signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All opposed?
(No response.)
March 10, 2020

CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That passes unanimously thank
you.
MS. MOTT: Thank you.
Item #11E
STAFF TO ADVERTISE, AND BRING BACK FOR A PUBLIC
HEARING, AT THE APRIL 28, 2020 BOARD MEETING, AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
RELATING TO THE TIMING OF REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
FOR COMMUNICATION TOWERS, TO ADD A NOMINAL
ALTERATION PLAN TO SIMPLIFY THE REVIEW OF
CERTAIN CHANGES TO SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, TO
LIMIT ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING ON BUILDINGS AND
LIGHT ON CAR WASH EQUIPMENT, TO CLARIFY PUBLIC
NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR CERTAIN LAND USE PETITIONS,
AND TO CORRECT CITATIONS – DISCUSSED; MOTION TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH ADVERTISING – APPROVED
MR. OCHS: Item 11E was moved this morning from your
consent agenda. It was 16A9 previously. This is a recommendation
to direct staff to advertise and bring back for public hearing at the
April 28th board meeting an ordinance amending the Land
Development Code relating to the timing of required inspections for
communications towers, to add a nominal alteration plan to simplify
the review of certain changes to Site Development Plans, also to limit
architectural lighting on buildings and light on car wash equipment.
And Jeremy Frantz is here to make a presentation.
And, Commissioners, I moved this because I had several
questions yesterday during the one-on-ones particularly about the
March 10, 2020
Page 49
provisions in this proposed LDC amendment related to architectural
lighting on buildings and lighting on car wash and equipment. So the
discussion, sir, was whether this would apply retroactively or
prospectively, and I just wanted to make sure that we had clear
direction from the Board on this.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Let's deal with the specific
questions, then, that commissioners had raised.
Commissioner McDaniel.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And it was I that started -- I
think started that yesterday with regard to the car -- I saw that
the -- you know, the car washes were specifically mentioned. If you
would just expand a little bit as to what the premise behind that is,
what the issue with car wash lighting, in fact, is, and then what these
amendments are impacting -- are these going to impact existing
businesses or just those going forward?
MR. FRANTZ: Sure. So I had a little presentation, but I'll just
jump to the slide related to that issue. Jeremy Frantz, for the record,
LDC manager in the Zoning Division.
So there are two issues in this amendment. One was BCC
direction in response to an El Dorado code enforcement case. As we
were drafting that amendment, there were a couple of other issues
related to lighting on commercial buildings that staff felt would be
good to address clarifying the definition between accent and
architectural lighting and also including the same restrictions that
we're placing on commercial buildings to the equipment lighting
within a car wash, which would not normally be subject to that kind
of review.
So here you can see some examples of the types of lighting that
we were looking at. The issue related to car wash equipment, this is
kind of a new -- somewhat new phenomenon where the equipment
March 10, 2020
Page 50
within the building is lit. There are windows, and it has a very
similar look and feel to the issue that we were trying to address with
the El Dorado building.
So the way that the language is written is pretty simple to
comply with. It simply limits changing of colors or flashing lights to
once per day. And the way that the language is written, it would not
apply retroactively. It would only apply to new buildings.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. Are there any other
questions or comments?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Are we ready for a motion then?
MR. KLATZKOW: Just for my clarity, because there will be
code enforcement issues on the retroactivity issue. There's no legal
reason why we couldn't enforce this on existing businesses. It's a
minimal requirement. We're simply asking them not to flash their
lights.
But that's fine, we can grandfather the existing businesses if
that's what you want, or not. So for my benefit and for Mike
Ossorio's benefit, for clarification, do you want us to enforce this on
existing businesses or grandfather them in?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: What exactly are we enforcing
on -- are we actually saying you cannot change the colors of the
lights, the interior lights or exterior lights?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Only once a day.
MR. FRANTZ: You're limited to once per day. That's similar
to how the code enforcement case worked out with the El Dorado
building. You can still have colored lights. You can still have them
change. It just can't be -- you know, we're trying to get away from
rapid changing of lights.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I would be in favor of enforcing
March 10, 2020
Page 51
it for every building here in Collier County retroactively. If we can
do it, let's do it.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. What's the rest of the
Board's --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm -- you want me to go first?
I am -- I'm not familiar with the El Dorado case. Apparently, it came
before us back in February. That was a year ago. So I'm not
specifically familiar with that. I do have concerns about retroactive
enforcement on existing businesses. I'm -- as a matter of principle,
I'm not in favor of that.
I do believe that our citizens have rights for quiet enjoyment of
their property, and if there is a nuisance circumstance that's going
along, that needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis.
So -- and I think it -- from what I'm understanding, it was
handled quite admirably by our Code Enforcement, and LDC is in
place now to assist with managing that, and going forward it will not
be a circumstance. So -- and I think once a day is -- I wasn't
aware -- I mean -- and there again, I don't recall.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It was so bad that, you know,
neighbors a great distance away saw this flashing different lights.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sure.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And so I think -- as we grow, I
think it's very important to establish a quality of life here that we
enjoy right now. So I'm not terribly impressed with flickering
buildings of different lights through the night.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Nor am I.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Nor am I impressed with
retroactive enforcement back on existing businesses. So that's
where -- I mean, I think going forward we've got an ordinance that
March 10, 2020
Page 52
will protect us and our quality of life. And I think that if there are
issues that are happening due to public concern about businesses’
lighting, then we'll be able to handle that on a case-by-base basis.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Fiala.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. Did this just -- you were
mentioning a case. Is that the El Dorado one?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, yes, last year. And if
Commissioner Solis was here, he would be very -- because he got the
calls also.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I see. I didn't even know they
had a problem, so...
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. It's where the old Sports
Authority was.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah, I know where it is.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. And I think
Commissioner -- Commissioner McDaniel has a good point, if there's
a -- one that's particularly causing problems for the community, we
can handle that on a case-by-case basis.
MR. KLATZKOW: No, you won't.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Let me make sure I understand. I
got a little distracted there, and I missed part of the conversation.
The issue is that -- we have a new regulation, and the issue is
whether it applies to existing businesses or just applies going
forward?
MR. KLATZKOW: To new businesses, yes.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: And I would suggest that it apply
to all businesses. We do change the rules from time to time, and so I
don't think it sets any type of a precedent that's unreasonable. But I
think it would be unreasonable for one business to be able to say,
March 10, 2020
Page 53
well, I was here last week, so I can do X, and you just started, and
you can't do X. I would want to be consistent, I think. So let's see
what the consensus of the Board is.
Commissioner Fiala, your view is that --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, I was thinking that we could
change, but then I was corrected to say they can't change it on a
case-by-case basis.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Correct.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: So -- and what's fair is fair. If this
is causing a problem for the -- we're here to represent the citizens.
And if it's something that really bothers them, then I think we ought
to move along with that. I agree.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Okay. So I think the consensus is
that this should apply equally to new businesses as well as existing
businesses. Is that --
MR. OCHS: That gives us the guidance that we need, sir. And,
again, this is the first reading, so this will be back on the 28th,
Jeremy?
MR. FRANTZ: (Nods head.)
MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Do you want a motion to move
forward on that or --
MR. OCHS: Jeff?
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: -- is the direction sufficient?
MR. KLATZKOW: No, the direction's sufficient. We may play
with the languages to make the intent of the Board clear.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: And we'll have an opportunity to
discuss this when it comes back.
MR. OCHS: Yes, sir.
March 10, 2020
Page 54
MR. KLATZKOW: And the item is really just a request to
advertise.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right. Good.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Thank you.
MR. OCHS: Thank you.
MR. FRANTZ: Thank you.
MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, that takes us to Item 15.
MR. KLATZKOW: I'm sorry. Did we vote on that last item?
MR. OCHS: No, I didn't --
MR. KLATZKOW: We just need to vote to -- your permission
to advertise.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That's what I was just asking.
Then we need a motion to move forward with the item.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So moved.
MR. OCHS: Apparently, yes, we do, sir.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. We have a motion and a
second. All in favor, signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Aye.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: That passes unanimously.
MR. OCHS: Thank you.
Item #15
STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS
March 10, 2020
Page 55
Now we move to Item 15, staff and commission
communications. Again, just from my chair, sir, we have a reminder
of your April 7th, 2020, BCC, joint CRA workshop beginning at
9:00 a.m. here in the commission chambers, and that's all I have.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Mr. McDaniel?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Do you have any communications?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Oh, I'm sorry. No. I thought
you were going on to another item. No, sir, I'm -- forgive me. I was
over there trying to decide what was going on with that prior motion,
so -- but no. Have a good day.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Taylor?
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Just wish everyone a soon-to-be
St. Paddy's Day parade --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Look at you in your green.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And -- yeah, we did it, right?
We didn't talk to each other. Sunshine was preserved here. But it is
Saint Paddy's Day coming up, so I wish a joyous celebration, and
may the luck of the Irish smile on this community.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Commissioner Fiala?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, thank you so much.
I had the opportunity to take a private tour of the sports complex
this past weekend. I want to tell you, I was absolutely flabbergasted.
They're doing so much there. This thing is going to be a highlight
like we've never seen before in Collier County. It was amazing. And
they had so many workers that -- I bet there were a couple hundred
workers there working on this place, and they have everybody you
could ever dream of, not that you've seen, but dream of. So I'm very
excited about supporting this and moving forward with it. You guys
March 10, 2020
Page 56
have done a great job.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: And then the other thing is, have a
happy Saint Patrick's Day. Is everybody going to go to the parade?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: No. And just -- you know, as
a -- Commissioner Saunders, forgive me. You caught me sleeping
there.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Ah. I noticed.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It was a slight rest. It is
election -- I mean, my competitors are going to need things to use
against me, so...
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right.
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: This Saturday I won't be
attending the parade because there's a cattle drive in Immokalee. It's
one of the -- our annual event in Immokalee. They run about 200
head of cattle through downtown Immokalee, as was originally done,
and they all end up over at our Robert's Museum over on Robert's
Avenue.
It's an amazing experience. And not to take away from the
parade downtown, but if you haven't been to our museum facility in
Immokalee and/or attended this cattle drive, it's a wonderful -- it's a
wonderful community. And Huey Howard, my friend for a
millennia, cattleman forever, is the honored cattleman this year, and
so if you have a chance --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Could you tell people, will there be
food to buy there, and can they spend the day and --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Absolutely. There's
entertainment virtually all day long, yes.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Okay. Ms. Kinzel, do you have
March 10, 2020
Page 57
anything?
THE CLERK: No. Thank you for asking.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: I only have one little item, and I
just want to get authorization from the Board. As we go forward,
there may be times where we have to have meetings where we may
not have a quorum sitting in the room or there may be situations
where we don't want to have a quorum in the room because of some
issues associated with the coronavirus.
Communities are sending letters to the governor asking for a
waiver of the open government requirements under certain
emergency circumstances, and I'd just like the authority of the Board
to be able to address a letter or raise that issue with the governor if
need be. We don't anticipate that happening, but I want to be
prepared for it.
So if there's no objection, I'll assume that I can have the
authority.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: It's good to be prepared.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: And I'll work with the County
Attorney on that. We've got drafts of letters that would work in that
regard.
And other than that --
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I've got one more thing when
you're done.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: Other than that, I want to make
sure everybody stays healthy and uses caution, and we'll get through
all this. And I know our staff is well prepared, and I think we can be
very pleased with that, so...
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And I want to thank you for
having that presentation and the information for our community.
That was much -- that was much appreciated.
March 10, 2020
Page 58
I did want to mention that our Collier County Fair starts on
March the 12th, and I'll be doing the ribbon cutting on Friday night,
the 13th, so -- and it's -- there, again, is another wonderful
community event. If you hadn't had the opportunity, come on -- and
it goes for almost 17 days, the 12th through the 25th, I believe, or so.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Or really?
COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, it's a long one this year.
CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS: All right. If there are no other
comments, questions, we are adjourned. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And it's a record.
