i. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
Mr. Barron Moody, Regional Administrator, Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management
with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, addressed the board. He gave
an overview of the items that have happened at Lake Trafford Marina, giving credit to
collaboration with several different departments with Collier County: Parks and Recreation,
Pollution Control as well as the Collier County Commission. Other collaborative partners
include Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and Big Cypress Basin of South Florida Water
Management District.
Past projects include the greater than 23-million-dollar project of dredging Lake Trafford that
happened in three phases and removed over 6 million yards of mucky material from the
bottom of the lake, after the completion of the dredging FWC stocked the lake with a large
number of largemouth bass and started numerous planting projects of bull rush plants to help
recover diverse native vegetation in the lake. This allowed for tournament fishing to
commence with great turnout. Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma caused some significant
damage to the habitat conditions in Lake Trafford causing the detection of spawning
problems with the bass. The baby fish aren’t surviving because of the lack of submersed
aquatic vegetation (SAV). They will continue to stock fish at the lake until the habitat
conditions get better. Their desired future conditions are increased SAV, increased sunlight
penetration, water clarity, vegetation growth, and continued partnership development. All
collaborators and the community remain committed to enhancing and recovery of Lake
Trafford.

1. RCMA – MPUD Rezoning Petition – Lake Trafford (Enclosure 4)
Wayne Arnold and Mike Delute with Grady Minor and Associates addressed the board. They gave
a brief overview of their proposed plan. They are trying to collaborate with Parks and Recreation
to allow for a field use to be able to help the community with recreational facilities. They will have
to discuss with Parks and Recreation to see if it is doable.
One of the main reasons for RCMA building on this site is that their current building is not big
enough and parking is an issue at the Main Street location. They also see a need for affordable
housing for their teachers, part of the problem keeping teachers here is the affordability of housing.
RCMA has also deeded over part of the land to the fire station nearby.
Dr. Frank Nappo asked that each board member give their thoughts.
Mr. Mark Lemke supports the idea; he feels that it would be nice to get more ball fields for the
community if possible.
Ms. Yvar Pierre supports the idea; RCMA has grown out of their current location and the board has
witnessed that over the years. This would be a good addition for the community.
Mr. Francisco “Frank” Leon supports the idea; he feels that it is a plus for the community.
Mr. Edward “Ski” Olesky reserved his comments; he would rather learn more before he comments
on his support.
Mr. Estil Null supports the idea; he feels that it will be good for the community and if a letter of
support is needed then it should be given to them.
Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo abstained, he is working with this project.
Dr. Frank Nappo supports the idea; he supports the concept of working with Parks and Recreation
of the ball fields.
Ms. Andrea Halman asked if the Fire Department had been notified.
Commissioner William “Bill” McDaniel asked that they make sure the infrastructure as far as roads
allow traffic relief.
After much discussion the original motion to support the project was amended to include continued
discussions about the ball fields and traffic concerns.

continued discussions with Parks and Recreation about athletic fields and recommend that the assurance
of traffic coming in and out of the school are addressed. Mr. Mark Lemke seconded the motion, Mr.
Michael “Mike” Facundo abstained and it passed by vote. 7-0-1.
2. Catholic Charities Proposal (Enclosure 5)
Ms. Debrah Forester, CRA Director, addressed the board with enclosure 5. The Catholic Charities,
Diocese of Venice, Inc., sent a letter of intent to the CRA to obtain ownership of the property owned
on 9th street by the CRA. Along with the letter is the conceptual plan for the property. The
development of this site would be a chance for CRA to partner with the Catholic Charities.
Mr. Eduardo Gloria, Chief Operating Officer for Catholic Charities, and David Corban, Architect
and Principal of Corban Architecture, addressed the board. Catholic Charities has been serving the
Immokalee community for over 40 years trying to support the needs of the community of all
backgrounds, although the charity has the name Catholic in it, Catholic Charites do not just serv e
the Catholic community but the community as a whole. Catholic Charities has been developing a
vision over the last couple of years with input from supporters of the community, local officials,
and more importantly community members of Immokalee.
They are proposing to develop the 7 and one-half acres on the southwest corner of Main and 9th
Street which can be seen in the draft located on Enclosure 5. The development will include key
features such as the expansion of Guadalupe’s Social Services which includes: a soup kitchen,
pantry, shower area, adult education classes, along with a myriad of other services.
It will also have a new urgent care facility, a community room with free Wi -Fi, a classroom for
adult education, afterschool programming or outpost for a University such as Florida Gulf Coast
University or Florida Southwestern, office space, CRA office space, affordable at market housing,
commercial retail space to be located on the front end of West Main Street that can be for restaurants
or shops that are already doing business in Immokalee but could also serve as an incubator for
upcoming companies or groups that are minority owned and need some support for a time so that
they can get on their feet.
They envision a green space in the middle to be able to host some things like a weekend farmers
market, theater in the “green”, things that will promote great community and partnerships between
entities here, not just Catholic Charities. This proposal includes the acquisition of the CRA parcel
that is located on the corner of South 9th Street and Main Street. The CRA’s portion of the site is
about 2 acres. They would like to acquire the property by purchase or partnership, or through a
combination of things that would benefit the community.
Dr. Frank Nappo explained that the original thought of acquiring this property was for CRA to build
a community center, the board has seen what can happen in the downturn of the economy, that last
one took ten years to recover from.

His main concern is selling the property for a project and then ten years from now still seeing a
vacant property. He asked if this was a funded project or will they acquire the property then look
for funding.
Mr. Eduardo Gloria understands Dr. Nappo’s concern and appreciates that he is bringing those
concerns to their attention. To answer his question on funding, yes, they are very well funded, as
an organization they have plenty in their reserves and have the backing of the Diocese of Venice.
They have developed similar type projects over many years and have successfully completed them
including the affordable housing part. They are not new to space of development and they are very
familiar with how projects work, they know they have their work cut out for them in order to do
this project. They are prepared to see this project through. As an added note, they did not originally
plan to acquire the CRA property, it was not part of the plan, they have nine acres of property that
is next to the Guadalupe Parish. An opportunity came about when a donor approached them with
two million dollars to begin looking at this and other donors have stepped up quickly. Without
even starting a capital campaign there are several people willing to step up and support this project
already.
Commissioner William “Bill” McDaniel doesn’t think that the CRA needs to construct another
building or manage and maintain it. There are needs for the services that they are proposing. The
potential of an urgent care facility in our community is there, this would be a collaborative
opportunity seeing that the hospital at Ave Maria has become an arduous task. There is a
preliminary interest with the Health Care Network managing the Urgent care facility in
collaboration with NCH and Physicians Regional. He likes the project and thinks it would benefit
not only the community but the CRA as well with the opportunity for a new home and the
community center to host the CRA and MSTU board meetings. There are still many steps to go
but he is excited to see the proposal.
Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo commented that architecturally he will be biased but it’s great to see
how they incorporated the use of having open green space in the middle. He likes the concept and
thinks the idea of having housing near or even on top of the businesses might be great as well.
There is definitely a need for an urgent care facility. The only thing he is unsure of is how to
collaborate as a CRA, if it is just selling the land or partnering with Catholic Charities, but the
concept and proposal are great. The CRA has always wanted for Main Street to look a certain way
and have presence in that area. This would be a great way to do that.
Dr. Frank Nappo agreed with Mike, that things need to be worked out on what is more beneficial
for the CRA as whole and what would be beneficial for the community as well. If the CRA just
sells the land what happens then, he would like to have more discussion on the possibilities. He
would like to get every board members’ thoughts.
Mr. Mark Lemke agrees that selling the land, giving it up, and having no control over what happens
is not what he wants to see happen, he would rather the CRA work together with Catholic Charities.

He also agrees with Mike that this is an opportunity to start the process of what the CRA has wanted
for Main Street all along. He likes the idea of having condos over the retail spaces and having it
look like what the CRA has envisioned for Main Street. Urgent care is a great idea and collaborating
with the Health Care Network is great. Even better if the community can afford it, they won’t go to
a place that they can’t afford.
Mr. Eduardo Gloria asked to speak before moving on to the next board member, he thanked Mike
and Mark for their feedback. He also wanted all of the board members to know that collaboration
with the CRA is a great option. He has seen firsthand that a collaborative project with a CRA board
work. They did this in Miami with a project called Camillus House. They built an 88-million-
dollar campus in the Overtown Park West CRA District, they received ten million dollars from the
CRA as a gift in partnership for the development of that property. It was about 42 million in public
funding which included CDBG, New Market Tax Credit, and surtax money and the rest was private
donation in order to get the project done. The community room they built was a resounding success
and is the CRA’s official meeting spot still to this day. High Schools are able to have their
graduation ceremonies there. They only charge a nominal fee for the cleaning of the space, but it
is available to the community.
He just wants everyone to understand that what they are offering is an asset for everyone not just
Catholic Charities. The idea works, it has been done, and it works. It is a great partnership to have
the CRA embedded with Catholic Charities on that site because it adds legitimacy and presence to
the entire project. At this point Catholic Charities is open to many different options to be able to
work with the CRA and acquire the parcel. As for the aspect of the urgent care facility, Catholic
Charites goal is to provide affordable health care to the community, they understand that sometimes
people just can’t pay, there are several doctors that are willing to come to do the work because they
can sign up for a program like this one to have some of their student debt forgiven for giving their
time to community like Immokalee. It is a win, win, for everyone involved.
They want to provide programs and services that help everyone in the community. Housing is
another thing that they want to provide for everyone, they want to be able to have housing for
moderate/high income but not be exclusive to just that, there are so many low income families that
need adequate housing as well. If they can stay away from government funding, they can serve
everyone regardless of status and income and be in charge of who can live in their homes without
restrictions.
Ms. Yvar Pierre supports the idea of partnership between the CRA and Catholic Charities. Her
concern is for the undocumented people in the community. She would like for the urgent care
facility be open to everyone. She also likes the idea of the expansion of Social Services.
Mr. Eduardo Gloria explained that his comment about not getting federal m oney to help with the
project would allow them to take in anyone regardless of status. The expansion of Social Services
is something they want, especially for the students they see walking from the Middle School going
home. Some kind of program for them as well.

Mr. Francisco “Frank” Leon supports the idea of partnership, he likes the expansion of Social
Services, but is concerned about the low-income housing. There is already a development that is
going up on Lake Trafford for the same thing, does the housing have to be low-income and rentals.
Mr. Eduardo Gloria explained that the majority of the units will be at competitive pricing. They
are looking at affordable at market rate. They want to have a mix so that there is balance and so
that they can stay true to their mission, which is to provide an on -going service. This is why they
don’t have real estate transactions.
Mr. Edward “Ski” Olesky does not want to sell at this time and would like to discuss more over the
options available.
Mr. Estil Null agrees with Ski, there needs to be more discussion before deciding on the property.
Ms. Andrea Halman likes the idea of the green space and keeping the big tree that is there, as for
the property, she feels that the CRA should keep it and go into partnership versus just selling it so
that the CRA can have a say in what is built. She is concerned with the affordable housing, there
are teachers, firefighters, and police officers here that need housing. More thought should be put
into that category, and for the people that stay all year long. There is lots of housing being developed
in Immokalee for low-income already.
Dr. Frank Nappo agreed with Estil and Ski, there needs to be a lot more discussion. If the property
is sold there would need to be an escape clause that if Catholic Charities doesn’t deliver, then the
property would come back to the CRA. With the unforeseen in changes in the economy, we have
to take into consideration all options and discuss what can be done.
Ms. Debrah Forester commented that we do not have all the details worked out today, but asks the
board for their support for staff to enter into negotiations to develop a terms sheet with all of the
board members comments to move forward if interested in the partnership with Catholic Charities.
If the board supports the idea of continuing the conversation with Catholic Charities, then she can
work with the County Managers’ Attorney office to come with some terms. There is a process that
has to happen and then try to bring that back to the board possibly in September.
Dr. Frank Nappo asked that each board member give their thoughts.
Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo agreed that getting the details would help to make a better educated
decision. He feels that allowing staff to get the information and terms is a good idea.
Mr. Mark Lemke agreed that staff should be involved and learn what we are allowed to do and what
the options and feasibility are as well.
Ms. Yvar Pierre agreed that the research is necessary.

Mr. Francisco “Frank” Leon agreed that research is the best way.
Mr. Edward “Ski” Olesky agreed that staff should get the information to be able to decide.
Mr. Estill Null and Ms. Andrea Halman agreed with the research of options.
After much discussion the board agreed that it would be a good idea for staff to move forward with
negotiations and bring back all options.
Action: Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo made a motion to allow staff to move forward with
negotiations and a terms sheet. Mr. Francisco “Frank” Leon seconded the motion and it passed by
unanimous vote. 8-0.

J. Staff Reports
1. Operations Manager Report (Enclosure 6)
Ms. Christie Betancourt reviewed the operations manager report, enclosure 6. Mr. David Corban
is also the architect for the van Otterloo Campus for the Guadalupe Center and provided updates
to that project. They are almost done with the part of the Campus that will house the tutoring and
mentoring programs for high school students. It is a gathering space for about 150 people. The
plan is to be ready to hold classes by January. The challenges have been getting materials. He can
coordinate with staff to hold a hard hat tour for the board members if they are interested.
Ms. Debrah Forester took the opportunity to ask for the opinion of the two architects in the room,
Mr. David Corban and Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo, on the vision and cultural excitement of
Immokalee in regard to the architectural side of what is being built in Immokalee. It seems that
the buildings are more contemporary and seems to be the trend, but do they feel that the cultural
side of Immokalee can be incorporated to this style of building, maybe with design or colors?
Mr. Michael “Mike” Facundo said that the person that came to his mind was Luis Barragán, a
Mexican architect that used bright colors, so it is doable, incorporation of color can help with
vibrancy, but you can’t just do one style and expect it work in every aspect of the community. The
one major factor is the LDC codes. They hinder the architectural side when it comes to color; it is
important to take this opportunity now to help update the LDC codes in Immokalee to help make
the changes for the future.

Mr. David Corban agreed that some of the architecture in Naples is that contemporary that Debrah
was talking about, but his projects here in Immokalee he considers more of an updated Florida
Style. If you look at what they did for the Shelter in Immokalee, the property is surrounded by
residential neighborhoods, rather than do one big building, they broke it down to five buildings for
a residential scale. They always try to incorporate the Florida Cracker ideas on building which
includes large overhangs, windows that can open, and courtyards. This style was used at both the
Shelter and will be used at the Guadalupe Center. The Guadalupe Center has already started
discussing colors for inside and outside of the classrooms. The issue being the LDC codes, it states
that you can’t use primary colors, so when choosing colors, you have to try and choose the brightest
color possible. An example was Zocalo Park, they had to choose the brightest color possible in
accordance with the Collier County LDC codes. He agreed with Mike in that Luis Barragán’s use
of simple forms and bright colors show that it works and it’s not a trend, it’s forever. That is one
aspect that they try to do in architecture, they stay away from trends and make it something that
lasts forever. He feels that you can contemporarily design buildings and still address the cultural
part with colors. He also stated that Immokalee is so different that a different architectural standard
is needed to accommodate for future buildings.
2. Project Manager Report (Enclosure 7)
Ms. Yvonne Blair reviewed the project manager report, enclosure 7. Staff is coordinating with
Road Maintenance to address the S 5th and Delaware Street intersection. They will be installing
raised RPMs. Agnoli, Barber and Brundage will be preparing a proposal for the design of the Phase
III Sidewalk Project on Eustis and West Delaware. A banner was selected by the MSTU board
and those will be ordered for the new poles on Main Street. The pineapple rack was relocated by
Facilities.
Dr. Frank Nappo asked if something could be done about the historical sign at the cemetery on
Main Street. He would like to see a nice sign; it is a special place. He feels that its part of the
history of Immokalee, a background story would be nice, like a plaque that explains what it is and
the historical value. He would like some options for that if possible.
Ms. Debrah Forester commented that staff could coordinate with Parks or the Museum to see about
getting something done. If the CRA board is willing to contribute to getting one, then staff can
look into the options.

contract with Collier County, it’s a public/private partnership in which the Chamber runs certain
Economic Development programs including the Business Retention and Expansion Program. They

They handle New Business Relocations; the website also serves as a point of contact for State
Economic Development Organizations and represents the interest of the Business community of
Collier County. She works in partnership with the CRA and other organizations within the county
to promote growth and economic diversity connecting businesses to resources and making sure
that the community stays business friendly to help facilitate growth. She just wants to make sure
everyone knows that she is a resource, her colleague, Alex Breault, Director of Work Based
Learning, is with her today. They will be meeting with a few companies today. She hopes to be
in Immokalee at least one day a month and plans to try and attend the CRA meeting as well as the
Immokalee Chamber Breakfast meetings. She understands that there are specific needs in this
community that don’t align with other parts of the county. She thanked everyone for their time,
and she looks forward to representing as well integrating herself into the community.
4. Other Agency
No other Agency updates.
L. Citizens Comments.
Mr. Allan Garcia, CEO of A&R Builders of SWFL Inc., addressed the board, his company is currently
building homes in Immokalee. They have homes that are anywhere from 1300 square feet up to 2800
square feet under air. They have two homes going up in the Arrowhead community.
Dr. Frank Nappo asked about the driveways, he noticed the other day when he was there that there
wasn’t any green space because all of the cars that were there. They didn’t fit in the driveway and were
parked on the grass. They have two ROOF homes there and they were even parked in their driveway,
and their residents don’t own vehicles.
Mr. Allan Garcia stated that the issue in Arrowhead are the setbacks. They can build garages, but the
size of the house is also an issue in Arrowhead, to build a three-car garage they would need two parcels
to accommodate that size home. The other issue is the garage becomes storage space for bigger families
versus the use of the garage for cars.
Mr. Francisco “Frank” Leon stated that he has seen the work that they have done, and the foundation
work was great. He would recommend the houses that are being built by A&R.
Mr. Allan Garcia stated that they deal in concrete and masonry.
Ms. Andrea Halman stated that originally when Arrowhead opened there was land that had been set
aside that were supposed to be parking lots to avoid the overcrowding of cars, but with the recession
those lots were sold.
