De Young reviewed school concurrency; school facilities in place before
needed addressing future growth and joint residential projects with school
facilities discussed.
A. Concurrency overview
· Capacity measures - schools and additions.
· Financial plan = Five-year plan (capital plan).
· School level of service (LOS).
· Concurrency service area (CSA).
. Residential review.
B. Statutory Requirements of School Concurrency
· School coordination agreement, all parties need to adopt and process is
outlined in that document.

· Local governments need to adopt a public school facilities element (a new
element to the comprehensive plan) updating capital improvement

C. Data Collection and Analysis, Project Schedule
2
March 20, 2007
Majority of data and analysis done, report scheduled for completion in
April 2007. Once report completed, consultants will begin public facilities
element to prepare amendments to the capital improvement element,
expected completion between July and October 2007. ILA (interlocal
agreement) draft has been prepared, currently out to staff in the Cities and
County for review. ILA distributed to Boards between July and October
2007 for review and approval. Project completion anticipated with
transmittal of the amended documents and adoption by all the Boards.
Mr. DeYoung introduced Susan Trevarthen, Attorney, to explain
portions of the ILA. Requirements noted. Penalties for non-compliance
stated. Process for concurrency reviewed.
Ms. Trevarthen turned presentation over to Deanna Newman,
President, Public Pathways, Inc., who discussed LOS (level of service),
a requirement since late 1990's, idea that financially feasible plan needs to
meet an LOS. The greater scrutiny of concurrency of this plan discussed.
LOS is enrollment divided by capacity.
Ms. Newman reviewed CSA (concurrency service area).
Ms. Newman turned presentation over to Jeanne Mills of Jeanne Mills
and Associates, who discussed components of the comprehensive plan
elements. Amendments to capital improvement element (CIE) will need
to be made by the County and the Cities to reflect the School Districts
Capital Plan. At the time of the CIE, the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element (ICE) amendment will need to be addressed.
VII. The next steps include
· Revision ofICA after first staff review in April.
· School District's Capital Facilities Work Program.
· Working to finalize data and analysis to support the work the
consultants have done including population projection, student
generation, CSA, LOS, and the different funding mechanisms
available.
· Prepare and adopt the comprehensive plan element to submit to
DCA by March I, 2008.
VIII. Discussion and Questions
Ms. Abbott asked how coordination of emergency services fit into the
ILA. Answer was that interlocal agreement does not cite specifics; it is a
general statement in Rule 9J-5.025 that calls for a policy.
Commissioner Coletta asked for staff input.
Mr. Mudd, Collier County Manager, stated staff has been working on
ILA. Three years ago, two local ILAs were established, now incorporated
3
March 20, 2007
into present ILA. Original ILAs no longer available; staff concerned as
the original ones seem critical, example with new ILA school may be
built, but there may not be a road or water leading to the school. Schools
five-year plan needs to be overlaid on County five-year plan. Mr. Mudd
suggested it is very important to schedule next joint meeting to see how
well the staff is doing with specifics for ILA; so the deadline of March 1,
2008 can be met.
Mr. Robert Lee, City of "I aples Manager, agreed with Mr. Mudd,
encouraged coordination of school board with advisory boards. The ILA
requires communication among all groups. Some of the particulars in
approval processes need to be worked out. Presentations to elected bodies
of staff working on ILA suggested.
Mr. Baker stressed communication among staff at operational level
critical. Previous meetings found productive.
Discussion encompassed streamlining of work, making schools a
community center, using school playgrounds for after school community
activities, concern about future school development and acquisition of
land for same. Also discussed were developer banking mitigation, how to
handle students living close to the County lines, FISH and LOS crucial in
future, how mitigation affects impact fees, charter schools not part of the
concurrency statistics, proportionate share mitigation, lower County Route
951 corridor development, concurrency instituted with large developments
so school in place, the areas with not yet developed single lots will need
attention.
IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Paul Nyce advocated for available green space at elementary and middle
schools, providing the green space open to the public. Others today have
commented on this subject and there is awareness and perhaps there will be
resolution in future.
X. NEXT JOINT MEETING
The date and time for the next meeting, tentatively will be held in June, after
Mr. Mudd and Mr. Baker can review all participants' calendars.
XI. Closing remarks were given.
