I will note that the minutes from the F 8, 2022, meeting were uploaded to the agenda as Item 2 ~ e agenda was initially published. ~, I will also note that Item 11 ~e heard before noon. This will allow for the document sig~ occur over the lunch hour by the Chair. ~ CHAIRMAN McD : That means I get no lunch? MR. ISACKSON<,~ , we generally try and make those fairly quickly, sir. We're~irly organized when it comes to those -- CHAIRMA MOOANIEL: Yes, we really are. MR. ISAC.&._,__,,,._, : --as you know. CHAI 1-'""'1 McDANIEL: Okay. Let's see if there are any changes or arations on ex parte, and then I'll call for the vote after we hear the public speakers. Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: No changes and no disclosures. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner LoCastro . COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I have no changes but, if I may, I'd like to make a comment on 16D9, if I would, just a brief comment. 16D9, just for everybody's information, is a donation being Page 4 March 8, 2022 made to Sugden Park of quite a few concrete chess tables. You've seen them, you know, in Central Park. You've seen them in other places where people can come and gather. And I just want to go on the record and say this is a gift from Jay and Patty Baker who have done so much in our community, they're so generous and so philanthropic. Their initial thought was to put them in Baker Park. For whatever reason, that didn't work out; that they couldn't put their donation in their own park. But on behalf of all the ct~ssioners here, I said Collier County would love your gener~~~d we found a perfect spot in Sugden Park. "~ So I just didn't want it to be sort of burie,.@"\J\..tlt e agenda and just say, you know, 11 donation. 11 The Bakers h ~ 'Ven extremely generous to our community and, on the ~}' on behalf of all of us, we want to thank them for their gen5l-~s1w And we look forward to having Lely High School and othe ~ols and chess clubs and whatnot come out there and us generous donation, which is in a perfect beautiful spot of Su rk. So thank you to the Bakers. CHAIRMAN McD -rw,.._._...,_L_.7.,Q,I~ Thank you for that recognition. That was very nice to --~ ... .,~~~at up. Commissioner.,{ay r. COMMISSI Wffi TAYLOR: No changes; no disclosures. CHAIRM cDANIEL: And, Commissioner Saunders. COM _..,.,. NER SAUNDERS: I have no changes and no disclosure well. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I, as well, have no changes or disclosures. So with that, we'll call on the public speakers, and then I'll call for the vote for the agenda. MR. MILLER: Your first speaker is for Item 16K2, Garrett Beyrent. He will be followed online by H. Michael Mogil, who will be speaking about Item 16A 11. Page 5 March 8, 2022 MR. BEYRENT: For the record, I'm Garrett FX Beyrent. And this particular item, 16K2, has obviously directed about the nightmare at the comer of Santa Barbara and Davis Boulevard, right? And I talked briefly to the County Attorney, and the problem we have is that the man that was running the show accidently killed himself. He got a piece of pipe through the side of his head. He was operating an older machine not on that site but on his own property on Industrial Boulevard, Mercantile A venue, where th~ giant heap of mostly concrete from buildings downtown _N_a~, and that's where all that fill was coming from, the concreth ~ Unfortunately, in the concrete columns, ~kls a steel bar, rebar, and while he was crunching up the r ~~th the concrete, it got stuck in the machine. It was a sma~)'chine. And when he tried to pull it out, it went through t~ Ji¥'S f his head. He died shortly thereafter. ~ \...) And as far as what's going ~~re now, I'd have to talk at great length of which I don't have e'\i¥e today, and I guess you don't really want to hear it spec;Jj· ~~v But virtually ever,0 1 property is involved in a very complicated multipJ(tru,t of children for the most part. And they're my children, my ~t~r-in-law's children, my other brother-in-law's children, my ex · 's children. And for that reason, I think we need to hire ano _i:._~omey, because Jim Sieskey, who was the attorney I hired man ars ago to represent the family, moved out of the area. He has an office here, but he told me he does not attend the office or go to meetings anymore. So once again, I'm standing up here . I am not a lawyer. I'm a lobbyist. And I'm not here for that specific reason. I'm here to argue who you should have as a better selection for a County Manager, but that will be another item on the agenda. Just to --for the public's knowledge, that's actually what happened. And it's very Page 6 March 8, 2022 complicated. So, thank you for letting me talk for two-and-a-half seconds --or minutes. Thank you very much. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Garrett. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, your final speaker on the consent agenda is H. Michael Mogil online. Mr. Mogil, you're being prompted to unmute yourself, if you'll do so at this time. And there you are. You have three minutes, Mr. Mogil. ~ MR. MOGIL: Thank you very much. I'm t'}l\i~oday about 16Al 1, the Adopt-a-Road program. Thank yo ~~much. For years I've pondered putting my own,h~ss out there as Adopt-a-Road, and I don't know enough a~Te program, but I see that the people that sign up pay $200 f 0~"1. And I guess I just want to know if someone could ans ~} i~1s morning. Is this an advertising piece, or does the co ~~ctually go out and do something to physically adopt t ~d by taking care of it, doing things to it? I don't know. 11 hink that if we're going to have an Adopt-a-Road program, w-e~rn ld really have an adoption. So if someone co ress this, I would appreciate it. And if, indeed, the people ~ go ut and do good deeds on the road, like cleaning up trash u.-p~sibly trimming some bushes that might need trimming, then · that would be something that should be highlighte · ·--county reports. That have to say on this item. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Mike. If you would send me an email, and off-line I'll explain the entire program to you, how it works , signage , so on and so forth, so --we have that agenda item on consent today, and it is, in fact, going forward, so --but I'd be happy to explain that all to you straight up and certainly would look forward to your participation, so ... Okay . With that, any other public comment with regard to the Page 7 March 8, 2022 agenda or consent? MR. MILLER: No, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. So -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Mr. Chair, sir, at the direction of the County Manager, who just whispered in my ear, before we approve the consent agenda, this would be the time where I could, with your concurrence and the concurrence of the Board, make a walk-on proclamation. This is the official --~ MR. ISACKSON: Yes, sir. ~ ~ Item #4 PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING BACKS THE BLUE DAY" IN COL I ~ g 8, 2022, AS "BAIO OUNTY -ADOPTED COMMISSIONER LoCA : So all the commissioners received a one-way co~ from me, and, sir and ma'am and my peers, with the concu of the Board, I'd like to read a special walk-on proclamation~, read it from here so everybody can hear. A ~ Proclamatiol(; ~ank you, Mr. Chair. Whereas t ~~izens of Collier County acknowledge our local law enforce:-.rri~wofficers who put their lives on the line every day to protect, se and keep our community safe . They do this job selflessly to uphold the law, to improve our quality of life, and to save lives; Whereas, we contend the overwhelming majority of law enforcement officers are doing their best to protect and serve our communities in an ethical, compassionate, and courageous manner and have earned and deserve our support; Whereas, law enforcement across the United States is facing Page 8 March 8, 2022 unprecedented challenges. We've witnessed needless violence and disrespect to our law enforcement officers. Fortunately, there are pro-law-enforcement supporters that do value, understand, and appreciate the risks our officers take to protect our community; Whereas, one such supporter has stated, if you are a law enforcement officer and need a break, you can come park outside our house. If you're thirsty, we'll bring you a drink. If you are hungry, we will fix you something to eat and serve you a good, ~cy1g cup of coffee. If you are hot, we will invite you inside t~ C\o~Yf. If you need backup, we will stand with you, and ifyou"~to cry, we will hug you and let you . If you need to talk, we ~~ten, and if you need to pray, we will kneel with you. ~ ~ This strong supporter is entertain~~~n Scott Baio. Scott Baio is well known for his 50 years ~ ..i.H~wood performing in movies and on television, and he~~ known for advocating for law enforcement by his actions,~~st words. Scott Baio has donated ~~entage of the proceeds of his current "How Did I Get H ./!'l~.i..1 .S. tours to benefit nonprofit fallen officers --the nonprofi n Officers organization which supports the Robert L. Zore ~un tion here locally and supporting police all over the country. : ~ Scott Baio ~~'!!'!:!plifies a true supporter of the men and women in blue. ~:,cr.,.,.dlways been pro-law enforcement and very vocal about it. Baio's continued use of his entertainment platform to defend and protect our officers is truly inspiring; Whereas, we encourage each citizen to join Scott Baio in supporting our Collier County law enforcement officers . Let us never forget our officers go to work every day to protect and to serve our community. When many in the public and entertainment eye often shy away from supporting our heroes in blue, Scott Baio ensures his actions Page 9 March 8, 2022 have always spoke louder than words or silence. Now, therefore , be it proclaimed by this entire Board of County Commissioners that March 8th be designated as Baio Backs the Blue Day. Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed a happy day. Ladies and gentlemen, Scott Baio. (Applause.) MR. BAIO: I didn't want to get up early in the m~g, but I'm glad I did. Thank you so much. Thank you. ~ wow. I didn't know what I was walking into here. Do "~tt ,me to speak --or I know you like to talk, Rick, but ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: If ~~0th commissioners, you'd be here till midnight. Okay. ~~~to whatever -- MR.

Well, thank you. you. What I said was, you know, Fallen Officers for ~ (Applause.),<;_~ MR. BAIO ~ setting all this up and doing all this. And Mike told me las;,i...u,~ that we got --we did this show last night in Fort Myers, an got done at about midnight or 11 :00 or whatever, and Mike said, you've got to get up at 7:00 in the morning to come to Naples. I went, oh, for what? And I said --and I saw Rick. I said, Rick, can we move it back a little bit later, like, maybe 9:00, 10:00? He said, we're pretty business. But, anyway. Thank you. I'm sort of overwhelmed by this. And I just want you to know, yes, I'm a big proponent of police and I do what I can. And I know that there are some police here, and I Page 10 March 8, 2022 just --I just want you to know that I'm --I don't --I feel horrible what's happening, and I think it's all swinging back the other way now. And you are needed and you are respected. And we --and I thank you and I thank every --I tell --my wife and I tell our daughter every time they see a police officer or fireman to say thank you for your service, because you're important. And what absolutely amazes me --I was just talki ~ Robert Capizzi; I don't know if he's in here. He was telliIJ~~ story about what happened when we got one of his badges. "~ The fact that you guys will sacrifice you~~r me or whomever and you don't even know me, a!!.-0-liud that absolutely amazing and selfless, and that's why I d ~~ respect you and I just --Rick, I'm --thank you and Goft_ ~l ~you guys, because we do love you and we do need you. ~\.)

We wanted to surprise everyone and, most of all, you, sir. Thank you for everything you do. It's noticed and appreciated. MR. BAIO: No, you're welcome. (Applause.) Page 11 March 8, 2022 MR. BAIO: Wow, thank you. Completely overwhelmed. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I just want to go on record, he's Italian, Sicilian, okay. There's, like, three of us, right? Capizzi. Who else? Any other goombahs in the audience here? Right? And if you don't know who Scott Baio is, like he said last night at his show, your parents do. So, yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair and fellow commissioners.

GADY was established in 2008 by a group of like-minded men with a mission calling on men to stand as equal partners with women to end domestic violence and human trafficking in Collier County . Our goal is to empower men to end all forms of violence against women by educating first ourselves; secondly, the community; and, in tum, raising awareness and creating social change. While this day and every day we call on men to stand with us Page 17 March 8, 2022 and recognize that violence against women is not the responsibility of women and that violence will not end until men become part of the solution to actually end it. Men must take an active role in creating a culture and social shift that no longer tolerates violence against women.

JAMES HANRAHAN, SUPERVISOR-RECREATION, PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION -APPROVED It's my honor to make a couple of employee recognitions, 5A Page 21 March 8, 2022 and 5B. Let me ask Mr. James Hanrahan to come up , your Supervisor of the Year for 2021. (Applause.) MR. ISACKSON: While James comes up, let me just say that as part of the county's formal recognition program each year, the Human Resources Division solicits nominations from staff to highlight the accomplishments of a special supervisor who exemplifies the characteristics of great leadership thro~ special project or continually throughout the year. ~~ This year eight nominees were considered L t mployee of the Month Committee, and Mr. Hanrahan, Pa~\J. Recreation Division Supervisor, has been selected aij.~21 Supervisor of the Year. James started with the count 1 i2'bl 6 and became a recreation supervisor for the Rec Pl ~.jn 1 after the facility had been without a permanent superv~~ almost a year. James brought the Rec Ple'-.~ together as a team using his Parks and Recreation experi ~~d positive can-do attitude. He exemplifies great leaders · ugh his actions as a supervisor. James leads by examp ~1 ositive, and professional with a smile on his face and a kind ~r~egardless of the situation. He deftly ba RC~ the needs of his staff with the needs of the facility to ensur · staff are taken care of while ensuring and mainta1n1n · ess continuity. He follows through and makes himself av · ble to staff both during and after his regular working hours. As an example, there was an evening when the facility experienced an issue with locking the doors at the end of the business day . Despite the problem coming up outside of the hours he was at the Rec Plex, James took immediate action to assist his team with the issue. He stayed on the phone with his staff until 9 :30 at night, talking with them until a facility's management representative arrived on site to repair the facility --the faulty locks. Page 22 March 8, 2022 The facility , as well as the division, has experienced staffing shortages , and James has always handled those situations with composure, making sure that the customers to the location have a positive and safe experience during their visit. As another example of James' leadership skills and action, he was asked to assist during the summer of 2021 with the opening of the Sun-n-Fun Lagoon. The park was open for the summer seven days a week, and James was on site almost daily to supervise and support staff. ~ His assistance ranged from ensuring adequate a~g, scheduling food trucks, assisting patrons, and fi · alfunctioning lockers, to cover the gate so his employees co,.LO..__.L .._n ... e breaks. James has a unique ability to motivate~c mpower his team while providing the patrons of the Rec ~~-~th great customer service, quality programs and facilit~~· ~mes embodies the county's motto of exceeding exp ~@is every day, and this is why James is being named the Colli ~nty Supervisor of the Year. (Applause.) ~ CHAIRMAN McD : So just so you know, Maria took your check. So just p~ ( ntion. MR. HANRAW\~ Yeah, I saw that. THE PHOT @~PHER: One more picture. MR. HAN AN: Yes, could I have coworkers? COM _..,.,. NER LoCASTRO: Melissa, all that stuft's true, right? (Applause.) COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: For the public listening and certainly watching on television, Community Services is probably one of the toughest jobs there is. They're the face of our government to the public, and we're just so proud of everyone that works, and very, very proud of you, James. Thank you. MR. HANRAHAN: Thank you.

She was on-site point of contact for three capital improvement projects at the Immokalee Airport, she coordinated a contract extension, was responsible for contract and grants compliance for active airport FDOT projects, and was instrumental in drafting and processing numerous executive summaries for BCC approval. Heather also actively participated in the FY '22 pr~tion and review along with the airport authority's five-ye~r c ~ improvement program. In addition to providin ·nvaluable support for the airports, Heather worked dili ~ o keep up with the demands of her regular job responsibili~"-iieather's willingness to go far above and beyond w-Q~as expected of her, especially during a time of record-b~k~business and several large capital _i1:1provement projects, ma~~truly deserving of this recognition. ~ (Applause.) ,('\ ~ COMMISSIONER ~~R: Come on up, you guys.

We're the owners at Cariloha Naples over at Mercato. Very honored. Thank you very much to the Chamber and to the Collier County Commissioners for just even thinking of this for this award for the month. Robin and I went on a cruise one day and came back and just fell in love with bamboo. It's all over the Caribbean. It's a very Page 26 March 8, 2022 sustainable product, and we knew right where we wanted to put it. I came here visiting my entire life, family members down here in Naples. I got permission to open up one of our stores and did it right over there at Mercato. In the last four years, we've gone to No. 1 in sales in the United States for a resort store, just in our little small store. That is without a website that we are not allowed to have because we were one of just a couple of private owners. ""'-"'-.> So we ask everybody to come into our store&-~p for free --instead of going online, and it really help om and pops that are down here in the area. ~ The biggest struggle that we have rig h.tQ.)o"1,, ~ as everybody else is having, is finding employees.

MILL : Mr. Chairman, we have two registered speakers for this iteru.JWt!tV. Your first speaker is Garrett Beyrent, and he will be followe Joe Trachtenberg. MR. BEYRENT: For the record, Garrett FX Beyrent. This is actually why I came here this morning. I didn't come here to talk about the death of Bobby Cadenhead and the cement nightmare, I call that. But I actually came here because I've been standing in front of this podium for exactly 50 years -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Fifty. Page 28 March 8, 2022 MR. BEYRENT: --and for 50 years I've been dealing one on one with every County Manager all the way back even before Neil Dorrill, so --and it tells you where people end up, because it's very interesting where most of them have passed on. But I'm here specifically to say how come it's always been a guy, a man that's a County Manager? The word is operations manager, m-a-n-a-g-e-r, when, in fact, the logic would dictate right now that you have a female as a County Manager, mai~ake a change, because everybody that's gone before has 9 <\e~an. And I think you've got one right there. Sh ~ing right over there, Amy. She would be the logical mana~~ebody that's already under the manager. And I hate to ~ l,,m go, because Mr. Isackson's been an excellent manage~ile•s faced with the reality like all of us, is the COVID v~s~u know, taking its toll on a lot of people I know. A lot of~~have died or, you know, have terminal problems with their lu~~ Me, I already have age ~)--ge problems, but that was one of the donations I made l~n ~w~en I was a soldier, which I actually regret, but such is life. for that reason, I just thought I should get up and say, sorry¢im the best man for the job is a woman. Thank you. ,~ ~ CHAIRM cDANIEL: Thank you, Garrett. MR . ..L.,.....~'i..J : Your second and final speaker for Item 7 is Joe MR. TRACHTENBERG: Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, I'm Joe Trachtenberg, chairman of your AHAC committee. I've got just a very few items I'd like to share with you this morning. First and principally, our committee met yesterday, and we sincerely thank you for your supportive response to our February 22nd presentation along with the very serious concerns Page 29 March 8, 2022 expressed by approximately 30 percent --approximately 30 of our neighbors and our essential workers. We heard similar comments yesterday from a Marco Island fire chief who took the time to attend our committee meeting. So the first subject this morning, the $20 million of surtax money. In addition to identifying surplus county land, we need to establish a process where current landowners and developers who are interested can respond to invitations to negotiate which~!) then be vetted by county staff. We need to promptly iden~ify~Iing partners. "~ The surtax provides funding for the acq~~ of land. We need to broaden all the potential sources fr ~ ~ch this land might come. We also understand that the ov~~'}-committee that evaluates such requests currently on}x "'m~s three times --three months --every three months. ~~ recommendations are developed, we're going to need "~elp to assure that approvals are considered in a timely mann '~ Now, you likely kno ~~ft last Friday, both the Florida House and Senate have passero -·._... 2, and it will undoubtedly be signed into law. This bill ~ve ou the unique authority to accelerate passage of afford i e)rousing projects. Please let's study its implications an · ppropriate, let's adopt it. There_'1!i_.~everal other proposals you collectively embraced, at least for sideration at the February 22nd meeting. Let's get these items on your agenda for further discussion and for decisions at an upcoming meeting. These include utilizing General Fund money, a study of linkage fees, impact fees , and several others . On behalf of AHAC, we ask that you please designate a date for a meeting at which these matters may come before you. And, finally, it's become apparent to our committee that the significant demand for resources both with respect to granting relief Page 30 March 8, 2022 to needy citizens and the increased emphasis on affordable housing is landing on the shoulders of two very outstanding staff persons , and we sincerely hope that someone can figure out how to get them some help. Thank you very much for your time. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Joe. Do you have a question for him or a comment? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I just wanted to make a comment, if I might. ~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Joe . ., \ ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Thank y~~. I just wanted to echo, we do have --we ~~king a date for our session that we voted on. But one of t!.e~d-news stories, several that have already come out of t~~Toeeting, and Joe didn't mention it, but if you recall, then~ ~gram that was due to launch in April --I'm just summar · here very quickly --and we said, hey, light a fire under that ~~ esterday's meeting, our housing staff said they've already go ~Tuoved up one month. So it's imminent launch instead ()ffl!MI&: e end of April or maybe even later, so that was one good t~ e're going to talk about another good thing later about ho)(w&e adding another strong member to our Affordable Hous ~ktvisory Committee. But good t ~ are already rolling and, sir, thank you for your great work_,.,. ___ ,_..,_ . ..,..ow, leading the team and proud to work with you. MR. CHTENBERG: Thank you, all.

Item #lOA THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN A LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE TIGERTAIL LAGOON RESTORATION PROJECT PROPOSED BY THE CITY OF MARCO ISLAND AND THE HIDEAWAY Page 31 March 8, 2022 BEACH TAX DISTRICT, AND TO CONVEY THE LETTER TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (FDEP) AND UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (USACE) -MOTION TO APPROVE THE LETTER DRAFTED BY THE COUNTY W/CHANGES - APPROVED MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, that brings t..~ Item 10, Board of County Commissioners agenda items. ~~ agenda, Item 1 0A , is a recommendation to authorize the · an to sign a letter in support of the Tigertail Lagoon Rest ~ project proposed by the City of Marco and the Hideaway Be ~~ district and to convey the letter to the Florida Depart~~hnvironmental Protection and the United States =: ~s of Engineers. This is sponsored by Commissioner McD · e nd Commissioner LoCastro. Ms. Trinity Scott, your Tr~~ ation Management Services Department Head, will mak ~~ offering remarks. MS. SCOTT: Com · · ners, at your March 1st board workshop with the Cit~~ arco Island, Chairman Brechnitz requested a letter o t(up~rt for the Tigertail Lagoon/Sand Dollar Island Ecosyste ~~ration Project. We have provided a draft of that within your da packet. I also have it available to put on the screen . Troy, · ou can go ahead and put that on the screen. MR. MILLER: Sure. Is it this one? MS. SCOTT: The other one, please. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: That's the one that's not up on your screens. MR. MILLER: It will be. MS. SCOTT: There it goes. Perfect. I'm going to minimize it just a little bit so that you can see the Page 32 March 8, 2022 entire item. You'll see this is a strikethrough underlined version with the -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: My fault. My bad. MS. SCOTT: --correct permit numbers on there for both the DEP permit and the Army Corps permit. Just a brief recap: I know you-all sat through the workshop, but just for viewing public, the --after Hurricane Irma, there was sand washed into the channel, which has significantly dimi~~ the flows to the lagoon. The city as well as, in part=er ~th the Hideaway Beach district, is proposing a project ge to pre-Irma conditions. They have advised, per that wor~~ that they anticipate this will increase the channel wi ~~romote the higher flows to and from the lagoon and help p~)the interior channel from overwash and prevent sand tra~}i~astward from blocking channel entrance. ~ \...) Yesterday you received --~copied on an email from Mr. Cornell, and I believe he's a s\Q~ed up to speak. He has requested some modifications to thi ~~~~. So I'll leave it at that, and I believe there's some public sp-,.a~M'J CHAIRMAN Wc :C NIEL: I believe there is. Do you want to --does anybo ii~ --well, I have no one lit up at this stage. Let's go ahead a ..... __...., ..... o public comment then. COM _..,.,. NER SAUNDERS: I'm sorry. I failed to push that. But · st wanted to ask staff a question. The issue that's raised by some of the environmental folks is the issue of the 6.4-acre sand trap at the north end of the island. I've gone out to Tigertail probably 50 times over the last three years to take a look at some of the birds, the skimmers, in particular. But this year it's been a little bit --there have been fewer of those there at Tigertail. I'm concerned about the sand trap, the 6.4 acres. Do you have any thoughts as to whether or not there was an alternative to that? I don't Page 33 March 8, 2022 have a problem supporting the project, but I do have a problem supporting that particular portion of the project. MS. SCOTT: I see Amy poised to step in. MS. PATTERSON: At the --Amy Patterson, for the record. At the workshop, the consultants did indicate that there are alternatives to the sand trap . He did not go into detail about what those are , but I believe that's what Mr. Cornell is asking for through his comments. He would like the 6.4 acres to be pres ~ and to look at other alternatives to the sand trap. ~ "\ ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a ~~ol low-up, just so I understand what you just said. The con ~~for the -- MS. PATTERSON: Project. ~~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: ~)ject has indicated that there is an alternative to the 6.4-acre~~~~L'Iap? MS. PATTERSON: Yes. ~~ not --he did not indicate if that would be more expensive K.~t the challenges are with the alternatives, but he did indic ;1\i~t there were alternatives. COMMISSIONER ,~-...i 1 ERS: Well, I would support this if there's recognition tha ~-_... ...... needs to be an alternative to that, that 6 .4 acres. A , CHAIRMA MOO ANIEL : And just a quick question: From my perspective, this letter of support support everything in aggregate ~ is a support of the project holistically with the potential a~ ments that come from the consultants and the permit issuers? MS. PATTERSON: The intent of the letter is to be a general letter of support. We want to be a good partner but, of course , in recognition that we have protected wildlife , we have environmental interests, and those things have to be worked through our partner agencies; it's not an attempt to strong arm the agencies or anything like that. Mr. Cornell's suggestions --and I'm sure he's going to Page 34 March 8, 2022 come in to speak about those --may be a viable addition to the letter to acknowledge that we would like those alternatives explored. It may turn out that they are not viable but, I think, that, obviously, they warrant a closer look due to the sensitive nature of this ecosystem. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Sure. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Trinity, before we go final or regardless of how we vote, I got an email late last nigh~ Chairman Brechnitz with some other corrections. _ I{. ~more of administrative things. You know, he already c~~J some of the terminology on the numbers. It wasn't the v ~~' but to get everything correct. ~ ~ Second, the 6.44 acres was actuall~~}e, Draft 7, they wanted to move much more sand, so that w ~!h ~mpromise. My understanding is that th ~ ~~bon Society were either going to send their own letter to these ~ agencies. But I can't agree more with what Amy Patter~ said is that this letter --and if it gives the inference then z~than what we think, I think all of us --you know, I can't~~ for my colleagues, but I share --I can feel the mojo up he i;<th~we're not trying to direct a decision, but we know there's a pr lie~ there. We support this group. We're working as a tea 1th Marco and Hideaway and all those different agencies a ~_,pnd a message to the Army Corps and to the Environme 1 Protection Agency. And then I was told yesterday whatever letter we send, then those two agencies blast it out to lots of other stakeholders. So we do want this to be correct. But I agree with Commissioner Saunders that I want this fully correct and not as directive that we've made some command decision as to what's correct and to listen to all agencies. And, you know, Mr. Cornell has a seat at our table at all of the --you know, we had a nice formal meeting here, but I've had Page 35 March 8, 2022 several with the Tigertail groups in this room, and he's always, you know , an invited speaker. So everybody has a voice. This letter is basically saying --I think reminding that we've all come together as a team, and Tigertail's important to us. But we shouldn't make any reference to we agree with the final draft solution. I mean, that's for others to agree with. But we agree with, you know, the restoration of Tigertail or whatever. "'"'-. "\J But I need to send you the final email, so d~n't ~al on whatever gets decided today. He has some oth things in there. Nothing that would affect --it was m ~ he numbers and the words and whatnot. So if you think it's@.~ than that, then it needs to come back to us so we don't ap~~omething that's not the final version and --~ MS. SCOTT: We'll take a ~that. We updated the title, the permit application title, as ~~ the permit, and that's what you see up on the screen in the s ~lltough underline. The highlighted port· e the portions in a strikethrough underline that Mr. Co .... ~ ......... _,_,nt that were available prior to the meeting. So those A:e tl re for your consideration as well. The intent o ~i~as a generalized letter of support, not getting into the details ~u know, this specific aspect of the permit or this, you know,~~~pecific aspect of the permit, but understanding that it has a re process that --with other agencies that will be looking at it as well. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So what --did we name this fill-in land the silting-in sand trap? Is that what we named it? What is the sand trap exactly? MS. SCOTT: So I'm going to have Andrew --Andy Miller, our coastal zone manager, come up and explain the items about the sand Page 36 March 8, 2022 trap. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: How that name evolved? Yeah. MR. ANDREW MILLER: Yes. Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, Andy Miller with Coastal Zone. Do we have the drawings available, Trinity, or no, not really? MS. SCOTT: Troy, if you go to the iDrive, there should be a Power Point on 1 0A. ~ MR. ANDREW MILLER: There we go. OJ<'fly~et me see if I can point using my mouse. The sand trap in t~~wing is the area hatched as No. 5, and the intent of the sa~"'1.p or the proposal is to remove the sand from that area, the ve~~f the sand spit of Sand Dollar Island. And it basically w ~~ce the elevation to below water level and become, in es~.!1 ~ pit or a sand trap. And what that does is as sand flowing~ ~current travels from the gulf into the river and past the entra~~or close to the entrance of the channel into the lagoon, the ~l'ap basically catches the sand and delays the situation wher ,,..,..~ nd would want to block the lagoon. So it basically buys ti ~r atching the sand for a period of time prevents the lagoon~ut\ing down. COMMISSI Wffi TAYLOR: Correct. So, Commissioner Saunders, your ept wouldn't be take it from here but put it somewh~~. COM¥SIONER SAUNDERS: I don't have a concept on what to do at those 6.4 acres other than not to destroy the bird habitat there. So I don't know if there's an alternative. I'm assuming from the letters I've read that the birds are nesting on that, which is marked No. 5, that hash-tagged area, that that's a nesting area, and I'd like to find an alternative to that. And I understand from just the discussion that there may very well be an alternative. I will support the letter if there's a sentence in the letter that says Page 37 March 8, 2022 that we have concerns in reference to the issue of destroying the habitat for the various bird species that are nesting there. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I would concur with that. That was a --thank you for the explanation. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Sure. Very good. Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Just a question for Andy Miller. So, essentially, the sand trap is a temporary --it's a Ba~d because it --the sand --it will fill up eventually, probably~r· ~ MR. ANDREW MILLER: That's correct. we all know that these projects require ongoing maintena~ the -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Right. ~ ~ MR. ANDREW MILLER: --the ~}'of time is unknown. It obviously depends on mother nat~~ ~t once and if that's permitted, as the trap fills up, ther_~~back out and dredge it and -- COMMISSIONER SOLI ~~ay. MR. ANDREW MILL ~ ~ over time, yeah. COMMISSIONER : Well, I agree with Commissioner originally written, i~e supporting a permit. The permit specifically is --Ii ~rrect me if I'm wrong, but the permit specifically refe ... ,,... ... ,_,es --it's a permit to dredge the sand trap, right? So I ~ 1th Commissioner Saunders and Commissioner Taylor. l ¥1 d be okay with adding the language that Mr. Cornell has proposed if we can put that back up there. I don't know --I think the last edition is kind of an absolute, that I think there's always some impact somewhere, and I think --so I'm not wedded to that very last part that says absolutely --you know, there's no --no habitat will be destroyed. I just think that's an absolute. Anytime we do anything anywhere it's going to have an impact. Maybe it could say, you know --I don't know, just not an absolute. Page 38 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Just eliminate the absolute, just put a period at the end ecosystem and be done. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Yeah. I would be --that would be acceptable to me, and I would support that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I would as well. And I think it's important just to say it out loud. And I said it yesterday when I was being interviewed. I mean, none of these processes ever occur during turtle nesting season, during bird nesting seaso~"\JPose are all prohibitive actions from the operational perspect · ~o in case someone's listening and thinking that this is goi ............... .,'"' · terrupt those --now, it may interrupt if, in fact, the p · ere issued and the sand pit were removed, and it was a pr~~ ird nest in sight and it wasn't there anymore. Of cours ~ ~ould have --those birds would have to go somewhere~~-\-nut none of these operations are going to be perf o~~ring those times. I think we're all done with ,X~we have to say. Let's hear our public comment. <'l ~ MR. MILLER: Yo ~Yspeaker is Brad Cornell. He will be followed by Brittany p· MR. CORNE~: " ood morning, Commissioners. I'm Brad Cornell, and I'm ;"Je ')n behalf of Audubon Western Everglades and Audubon Flori ...... ~.~,,-:--~"J'L' ...... appreciate the opportunity to address you on this letter. I wa~ start by saying thank you for that conversation. I really --I'm glad you're wrestling with some of the nuances of this. There's nothing that's black and white when you're talking about wildlife habitat, so that does get dangerous. Audubon Western Everglades and Audubon Florida support the overall ecological objectives of this restoration project, so we recognize that we want to improve the way the ecosystem works as much as we can, recognizing this is a very changeable barrier island Page 39 March 8, 2022 system; that, you know, storms come, fronts come. But we do want to improve the ecology of that. So we want to support the general objectives ecological restoration. Audubon has had many years of biologists and volunteers working on conserving these shorebirds where they nest and in the wintertime. And, in fact, one of our full-time biologists, Brittany Piersma, is going to speak after me, and she has some biology to share with you about this. ..._. "\J There's one fatal flaw, though, and you've m~at in your conversation, and that is the sand trap that woul oy the 6.4 acres. That's a federally --those 6.4 acre~ derally designated critical habitat for Piping Plove~~e wintertime, and it's also protective of the federally liste ~~ot and state-listed Black Skimmers, Least Terns, and i91B.e ~d Wilson's Plovers. So those last three nest up there. ~ \...) And, as Commissioner Sa~~ noted, especially the Black Skimmers in very large nu ~ ~So that tip is very important to these birds. Why? Do '-.....w.i.n, but that's where they nest. So --and actually may~~ iologists know. I don't know. Loss of the ac ~g~ also identified by the U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service l i~ly cause harm and even kill some of these shorebirds. An what restoration project is going to kill wildlife in pursuit ~~ds? That seems incongruous. Sot · not an all-or-nothing situation. The consultant, Humiston & Moore, as you heard, admitted in a meeting that Commissioner LoCastro had convened last week that there are alternatives to the sand trap . Now, as you heard, we don't know what those are, but I would submit to you that exchanging convenience or expense for the lives of these threatened species is not a good trade. We should be protecting the habitat and finding alternatives. Page 40 March 8, 2022 So I appreciate your movement toward that objective. Please consider the language that I've offered to you. And I do want to say we're very thankful for the partnership we have with the county, with the City of Marco Island, Rookery Bay, Friends of Tigertail, FWC. We appreciate that. That's the kind of collaboration we need to see on these kinds of projects and the protection of these species. So thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, sir. ~ MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, your final speaker ~~s item is Brittany Piersma. "~ MS. PIERSMA: Hi, my name is Britta~Netsma. I'm a field biologist working for Audubon Western E~'liaes. First, I just want to give some basi~)--gy information about the birds that are nesting out on that Jt~a ~ You may go there different times of the season and ~that they're not always out there. The Black Skimmers d~~lam Pass as their migration area as well as sandbars further s v\\ ~So if you go out there right now, you're probably not goin ffl-~ any Black Skimmers. Last season there out 544 nests on that beach. So if you think of the magnit1J4e o --that's about over a thousand birds nesting on that beach. It' ~e)tly vital habitat for that large of a colony. On top of that, Leas s, Wilson's Plovers use that entire area. Those . res that's deemed to be removed is really unmatched to any othe itat that's thought to be created down south. It will have irreversible damage, and this critical area is being used by state-threated Black Skimmers, Least Terns, and also imperiled Wilson's Plover. Those Wilson's Plovers do actually nest throughout a variety of vegetation as well, but they also use that colony as protection. So Wilson's Plovers will nest within a big colony of Black Skimmers and Least Terns. Additionally, it removes vital resting spots for a lot of migratory Page 41 March 8, 2022 species that come to our area. Those include federally protected Piping Plovers and Red Knots which there are decent numbers of those that come into that lagoon and use it as critical feeding area amongst all of those mud flats. Annually, we get hundreds of shorebirds of all different species that use that lagoon as a migratory spot to refuel, whether they're staying there the whole winter or they're traveling all the way down to the south tip of South America. So it's really important habitat. "'"'-. ""-> Specifically for the Black Skimmers and Leas_t ~~ they choose to nest in that exact area for a couple dif~~reasons. These birds have adapted and modified to ch~areas that are going to eliminate and shield themselves fr ~ ~rwash. So they have moved in different areas of that sa~)-'and for at least five documented years, they have chosen)_~ ~ within that north tip because it shields them from ove~~and it further isolates them from predators. So these birds ~~oosing areas that they're not going to have as many mam r\,ledators that have easy access to get specifically to where the))',,....Y) ting. Where these bird ~, ... .,,...,st, they have a lot of threats that they're coming across fro~st atural human disturbance that's in the area; predators, which ·(.ll ~ of management out there; but also they have to come across t ommon disturbance that they have from either hurricanes · al storms, they try to nest early, they try to prevent themselve ,..,...-r---• ... m doing anything that's going to have that severe a case but, obviously, they can't predict these storms. So if we can do what we can to prevent eliminating having more overwash come into their area, we need to protect this colony. We're losing vital coastal dunes all over the world. This is a huge problem in a variety of areas. The numbers of birds are plummeting. I have people come up to me every day and ask me, where are the birds? Why are they going down in numbers? It's because they're losing Page 42 March 8, 2022 habitat, so we need to protect the habitat. Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Do you have a question for Brittany? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I do. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Don't go away, young lady. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: First, I agree with my colleagues; we're not trying to force feed anything, an~~ know, we're trying to find that balance of what we can do _ (\O ~ere without, you know, disturbing the natural hab~·ta. ~t my question for you is to learn the science. I mean, this i you do. When you quoted those numbers of 5Q<l)i something, you know, nesting, is that just in 6 point acr~)'ause Tigertail --that area extends all the way down. Th~~ ~e a bit of habitat there. So were you just talking about th~,~pecific footprint, there's been that many nesting there, or you'~ing sort of in the whole --you know, whole area? <'l ~ MS. PIERSMA: Y ~Yve to look at the exact GPS points. I don't have exact GPS ~~5f exactly where they're going to. That frontal area includi9( p (\.tions of that would contain. COMMISSI ')Jffi LoCASTRO: Right. MS. PIER : But if you're thinking of, you know, magnitude "-""'~ousand birds, they may choose to nest left or right. Every yea · ' a bit different. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. I mean, I say that as a clarification because I've hosted a lot of these meetings, and we know those numbers. And there's a high concentration on the tip for all the things you just said, lack of predators and whatnot. But that number has come up in other meetings, and I think I did see some of the maps, and it was more of sort of the entire encompassing area, which is --you know, it's --I'm not making a point to say that we don't Page 43 March 8, 2022 support this, but just to sort of understand the numbers. My last question would be, obviously, as you said, when you remove any habitat and sort of shrink down their landing area, it's a negative. But there is quite a bit of area out there. This is more of a scientific question for you really just to educate myself. Let's say we remove six acres, three acres, but it shrunk at some point. Do you think there's enough remaining areas that, you know --like you said, these birds are smart. They know where to go, where ~redators aren't. ~ "\ ~ If they come back, you know, they migr~te ~nd see that two acres are gone, three acres are gone, six ne, whatever that number turns out to be, or nothing, but~': ay something's gone, is there enough natural habitat th ~~~ can absorb them safely and not affect the numbers in such a}l~?~e way? I mean, it might be a little b~~oaded question. And I'm not asking it to put you on the spot ~ything. I really just want to in any way, shape, or f o gertail is a large area --do you feel that the birds are --lik~~ aid, they're smart enough to figure out, are there areas that j(co~ absorb the same amount of nesting even if it lost an acre, tw c<acr~s, three acres? What's your honest thought on that? ~'-' MS. P~t-1"111·~~.t\., A: We've had a change in different species. So, originally, st Terns would nest there in very high numbers as well. I don't have a specific number for you. But we've only had Black Skimmers in the recent years because of different issues going on out there. If you're going to be adding Least Terns back into the situation, which could easily happen any year --we've had Least Terns prospect and still nest within that area --you're not going to have enough space with removing all of that, especially when you're considering, if they're moving further south, that's where they're Page 44 March 8, 2022 going to have increased overwash. We still had overwash last year, year before where they were nesting within areas that they moved further north. So they're choosing that based on that. But, additionally, the reason that there was an increase in birds last season was because of areas such as Kice and Caxambas, the birds are not nesting there for who knows what reason: Human disturbance, lack of habitat, extreme overwash. So we had an increase of birds that no longer nest at Caxambas that a u ing Sand on Second Chance. That's mainly used by Leas s. So I think it would have a detrimental impact on multip~}M ies. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Th~~u. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Than~)Brittany. Before I go to Commissioner SpiVp~ --don't go away, Brittany. ~ ~ Commissioner Taylor, did~~ave a question for her? COMMISSIONER TA ~It: I'm going to listen. CHAIRMAN McD ~~_.__: Okay. COMMISSIONE~l LOR: I'm going to listen to Commissioner Saui)4er~ CHAIRMA~OOANIEL: Okay. You may go away. Forgive me, dea Com · 1...~w.,er Saunders. CO SIONER SAUNDERS: No. I'm going to go ahead and make a motion, Mr. Chairman. I've listened to what everybody has said. We have a letter that addresses a specific application, and so we have to craft this letter so it doesn't give us some unintended support of something that we don't support. So I'm going to make a motion that we approve the letter that was drafted by the county with the addition of the language recommended by Brad Cornell with two Page 45 March 8, 2022 changes. On one of the lines, the letter says the county urges the applicants and agencies to find alternatives to the sand trap that do not destroy any critical habitat. I want to delete the word "any," because no matter what is done out there, there's probably going to be some critical habitat that may be destroyed. But we're trying to protect that 6.4 acres. And I also want to delete the last phrase that says, "as long as no wildlife habitats are destroyed in the process." ~ So I'll make a motion to approve the letter wi~~t~ two changes, deleting the word "any" in that first se~~ and taking out that last phrase about destroying any habita~. ~ \..J CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Somebo nt to second?

I understand Mr. Cornell's, the last --the last pm ~,~hy he put it in there, but could we --rather than strike it co ... ......,._,....., ely, could we --to minimize instead of striking it complete -.......n-.inimize wildlife --the destruction of wildlife habitats as ch as possible so that we --rather than saying no, but we also understand that --it's our awareness that wildlife habitat is being destroyed. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Potential. And --there's a potential for it if, in fact -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No, it will be. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: --this operation goes forward. I think Commissioner --unless the motion maker's interested in Page 46 March 8, 2022 making an adjustment to the -- CO MMIS SI ONER TAYLOR: Can I finish? Can I finish? So I was thinking that it would be --it would be helpful to put as --with the understanding that --to minimize the wildlife --the destruction of wildlife habitat. I'd like to have that in there but --not to say no but to minimize it. Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I don't have a"'"'-.~em with adding that phrase that simply says --eliminatina;t ~s~ that says "as long as no wildlife habitat is destroyed ," and 1ng that to "minimize the destruction of wildlife habitat.~ nk that's --I think that's everybody's goal on every project. 00-~ve no problem changing the motion to reflect that. ~ '-' CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Y }l1!. ~ with that on the second?

Item #l0B REVIEW THE PROGRESS OF THE COUNTY MANAGER RECRUITMENT AND PROVIDE STAFF WITH ADDITIONAL DIRECTION REGARDING PROCESS STEPS AND TIMELINE - DISCUSSED Page 48 March 8, 2022 MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, Item l0B, it's a recommendation to review the progress of the County Manager's recruitment and provide staff additional direction regarding process, steps, and timeline. Ms. Amy Lyberg, your Human Resources Division director, will present. MS. L YBERG: Good morning, Commissioners. Last meeting you had instructed us to come back--!.~ with an update on the recruitment of the County Manager, .,s~ ~ere to do that. ~~ We posted the position on the 25th of Fe , and it will be posted through March 31st. We are curre n0" ~ vertising through a number of outlets to seek qualified can~},-including govemmentjobs.com, indeed.com, Z~"" ~iter, Linkedin, and we've also advertised at Florida ~~tion of Counties and the National Association of Counti ,~ As of 5:00 p.m. last~v iQ~e currently have resumes and cover letters for 20 applic ~¥at we have not determined if they are --you know, in te fl{'j ~ e suitability or qualifications for the position, but they aK:--1'lat's what we have as of today. And, Troy, I ~rtk' --if we could, is there a --if we could put the presentation u , kind of go through some recommended recruitme~ . I thiri ~should be on the iDrive. MR. MILLER: Yeah, my mouse is dead. Give me just a second. MS . L YBERG: Uh-oh. MR. MILLER: Where was it in the iDrive, Amy? MS. L YBERG: I think it's under 1 OB, hopefully. There we go. Thank you. I just want to kind of review the recruitment steps and the Page 49 March 8, 2022 timeline that would be going on to finalize this recruitment. One of the things you did last year when you were contemplating hiring a County Manager was create --or complete a recruitment profile. That was part of the backup to the packet today and is one of those things, you can make a determination if that's even something that you're needed --is needed for --as you complete this recruitment. If you do feel that there are some changes that have been made since the last time that we went through that in terms of det t._.~ng what skills and abilities you want the next County Manai~r~ave, it might be a good time to get that updated in advaR'8f interviews. Based on a closing date of March 31st, ~~ecommending that the commissioners receive and review 6~nt submissions between April 1st and April 10th of thi ~~ And then before the and provide the rankings to the H n Resources Division for compilation. ~ '\ Depending on the num '\ ){gain, today we are at 20 applicants. You may wa~~1et a minimum and maximum number of candidates that you ~~ o rank for consideration of the position. The ranked lis ~o~ be provided at the April 12th board meeting, and you.{~u'bi select as many as you want, but we're recommendi~ ~e five candidate finalists that you want to have as part of 9'~iew process. Last ~ when you did the interviews, you conducted one-on-one interviews with the candidates as well as having them present before the Board at a public meeting such as this. And the recommendation would be to consider that for May --the first May meeting in 2022. Once you've selected a County Manager, have the Chair and the County Attorney negotiate the contract with selected candidate, and then after the Board reviews and approves the contract, set a tentative Page 50 March 8, 2022 start date for the County Manager with the indication that they would start by around June of 2022 to give a little bit of time to work with Mr. Isackson, if that's the pleasure of the Board. So some action items today, one of the things that was brought up the last time as well, we talked a little bit about a screening process for the applicants to this position and just as well as to get your decisions or discussion on if this timeline is acceptable for you so that we can move forward. ~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Very nice. ~ '\ ~ MS. L YBERG: Thank you. '°'~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissi~~Castro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I w~J~ going to say --and I know that you're saying recommend fi ~~~lists, and it's not being directive or anything. I just remem r l~time when we did this, there definitely was a sweet spot, ow. And I can't remember, but I would just, you know, tell lleagues, let's look for that, you know, let's not be so --and ot saying this. But, you know, if we sit here and we go, W""ffl-...."'1 know, there was definitely a top seven, then a gigantic then No. 8 was really 48, you know, I mean, there was so ~tn g like that. Let's make sure we're dynamic enough so we do ~e)ve anybody out. But I just r---,___..,.. her --and hiring another --and we've all hired people. ~ ually is some gap . We don't want the gap to be, wow, the ~ 7. I mean, we try to --we want to skinny it down to something competitive. But I do remember last time there definitely was a gap where you didn't want to sort of leave anybody out even if it meant a couple of more interviews . I mean, I guess I'm just saying that, you know, just spitballing, but we'll see if it lends itself to that. But I'll be looking for that, you know. And I think I actually --and I think most of us did, turned in one or two extra names above the recommended, because we sort of all Page 51 March 8, 2022 felt about the same way. So, you know, I'll be looking for that. But great report. Glad to hear. And, you know, you've mentioned sites you've hung this advertisement. That's exactly what the headhunter guys do. You know, they might do one or two other things and, you know, that's what you pay them for. But, you know, you're doing all the right things. Those are sidestep people. They peruse regularly looking for the pop-ups, and my guess is County Manager and beautiful Naples, Florida, with a six figure, you know"'-..~ed salary, you know, is going to net us, you know, ~uit ~ more people as word spreads. But thanks for the rep - CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Absolutely~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: --~ ~ll look for that --we'll look for that list of, you kn ~~)-__ sort of the top echelon folks that seem like they~lf<!h interview. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: uick question to my colleagues is, how do you --be ~~ one of the things we've said is that we're not going to go da ~)round checks and education checks and reference che ~R"'llr"llilll.l all of the applicants. We would wait till we move to a pare •-~ .. -ould you like to receive and can it be sent to --can these pQ-ph nts' files, if you will, unreviewed, can those be --woul i>Jti ke to see those in advance? Because I know some of you rea ,.__r,..-. ard --Rick and I got them all as they were coming in~ 1mately, it comes to this board . Would you like to receive th~n advance as they come in, yes or no? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Yes. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I would. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah . CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Can you do that? MS. L YBERG: Yes, we can do that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Can you do it digitally? MS. L YBERG: Yes. Page 52 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: With that singular adjustment to what you've suggested --and I think it's just --it's worth repeating --the suggestions of timeline, the process are there. The numbers aren't hard fast. If it is the will of the Board that we go to an interview process on seven, we'll do seven instead of five or two, or as the case may be. So I like it a lot. So with that, I don't think we even have to take --we don't have to take a motion on anything. You're all --~ MR. ISACKSON: Just an update for the Bo~aj~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Just an upd~t. ~tfi that adjustment to the process, I'm good with that. it is, in fact, 10:30. We'll be back at 10:40. ~ ~ (A brief recess was had from 10:3 ~~ )'o 10:40 a.m.) MR. ISACKSON: Commissi~~ou have a live mic. Item#lOC if DISCUSSION OF PR~.,,........ ITY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP - M BRING BACK AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINA UCING THE QUORUM REQUIREMEN O 4 -APPROVED Com ·1...~w.,ers, that brings us to Item l0C on your agenda. It's the discuss of Productivity Committee membership, and it was brought forward by Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, the --I sat with the Productivity Committee at their last meeting on Thursday. They've had some difficulties in getting a quorum. They did have a quorum on this past meeting. The committee consists of 11 members, and the request is that we reduce the membership to nine members; that we appoint two Page 53 March 8, 2022 members to be alternates so that when a member is not there , if the alternate's there , the alternate can vote and can form part of the quorum but is not required in terms of the total quorum number. And so that's the request in terms of the committee itself. Reduce it to nine permanent members, two alternates, and the two alternates can vote if a --if a permanent member is not in the room, and they can count towards the quorum. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And how many me~ are on there now? ~~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I believ e are 11. And the quorum at this point is five. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So th d reduce it to what, four? '-'---~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Y h.~hat? COMMISSIONER SAUND..., ... """",: Okay. Actually, the quorum is six . I understand th ="""'""L""rally 50 percent. But if it's --I was under the impression th o ome reason it was five. So the quorum requirements are ~--e want to reduce that to nine current members so the quoru~~ e, and then you have two alternates that can help form the CJ}(>rul,i when needed. MR. KLA T~OW : Or you can just change the quorum requirement fro ~~ to four. This way you don't have to -- COM _..,.,. NER SAUNDERS: Ifwe could do that. MR. TZKOW: Sure. Well, it's your ordinance. I can bring it back next meeting. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: All right. Let's do that, then. If -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: That would be -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: It might be easier. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Then let's keep it the way it is with the quorum requirement of four. That would -- Page 54 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I like that. That's elegant. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So moved. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Make a motion. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Yeah, I'll make that motion. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll second. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's been moved and seconded we reduce the quorum requisite from six to four. Any oth~scussion? (No response.) ~ '\ ~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor?

I've asked Derek Johnssen of the Clerk's Office to make some opening remarks, and then I'd like to follow up for a couple minutes, if you don't mind. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Perfect. MR. JOHNSSEN: Good morning, Commissioners. Again, Derek Johnssen from the Clerk's Finance Department. I must have drawn the long straw, because they le ~ bring this very good-news item to you today. ~~ Before you are two separate financing --re ing opportunities. Each of these exceeds the thr~~ set forth in your debt policy of 5 percent savings. Combin t'QtSe's e refinancings represent $13. 9 million in gross interest~~)s. In fact, one of the issues is the best issue I've ever seenJ?r '-'1vings for this county. I have a brief presentation ~i · ~ou a little bit more detail, if it pleases the Commission. CHAIRMAN McDAN ~ t pleases. COMMISSIONER ~~R: Yes. CHAIRMAN Mc ~,..,,--~L: It pleases, yes. MR. JOHNSS~: "){ our finance team recommends, of course, these refinancing ~ ~ay. CHAIRM cDANIEL: It pleases the Chair and Commissio ~~ylor, too, I think. MR. SSEN: Okay. These were procured through a competitive request for quotes. We had 16 responses. That's also the most number of responses in my experience that we've ever had. The selection criteria was lowest true interest cost. So best deal for the county. The aggregate cash savings are as follows. I quoted you a number that was just gross. It's 1.9 million for the issue that refinances the 2011 issue, and 11.9 for the 2013 issue, and that's the Page 57 March 8, 2022 issue that I mentioned was the best that we've ever seen. The net present value savings, which is just a discounted measure of the same number, recognizing the time value of money, was 5.6, which exceeds your benchmark of 5 percent, and 14.2, which exceeds it greatly. Again, just to rehash what the debt management policy says. It says, that any savings that achieves more than 5 percent of NPV should be pursued. We formally recommend that you ~ove this item as presented. ~ '\ ~ I'll take any questions. ~~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I have nob . up. County Manager, you said you wante d<i) ~ ake a few comments? ~ '-' MR. ISACKSON: Commissi9A-~r~e been with the county for 18 years. This is the most n ~~nt value interest savings on an issue that we've done, and w'-.~n restructuring the portfolio back in 2010. At that point ·n\~then we have restructured and/or refunded $531 million of t~~wfolio for a total net interest savings of $44 million. -0,.. If you can't m ql(e i~n the interest income side, then you switch and make it on th~~est the other side of the house, and that's essentially been philosophy over the last --since 2010. I wan ._.,.~ ognize Derek, members of the Finance Committee, and also iller, our bond counsel, and Sergio Masvidal with Public Financial Management, who is our independent financial advisor. All of these folks have performed admirably over the years in scrutinizing our portfolio, and I just want to give a shout-out to them for their excellent work over the years. And this will be probably the last refinancing that you'll see under my tutelage. So I just thought --I wanted to make those introductory remarks. So thank you very much. Page 58 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, County Manager. Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: I was just going to say, this is great, going out with a bang, a big savings. Congratulations. And, yeah, thanks, Derek, for --your office for all the hard work. I mean, this is great --great news. I was looking through the attachments. Is your presentation part of --or if it's not, can I got a copy of that? Becau~ like to share --~ "\ ~ 1:1R: JOHNSSEN: Absolutely. I'll send i ~~ comm1ss1oners. ~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: That's s~ ")feat news. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Y ~"' COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Y ~ji,~t's some great news that I think residents need to understan~\~losely everybody watches this and the great financial lead~ that we have. So if I could get a copy, ~)t. And I --if there's nothing --if there aren't any speaker;:~ I'll go ahead and make a motion to approve. -0"\>'Y COMMISSIO~R~ AYLOR: I'll second that motion. CHAIRMA M00ANIEL: And then I'll call upon Commissioner r for the first set of comments. COM _..,.,. NERTA YLOR: So just for my edification, and maybe the ic, give me an idea of the process by which you zone in on in getting these results. What's your time frame? How do you --how do you approach it? Is it a constant study? How do you --how do you move forward in it? MR. JOHNSSEN: Commissioner, that's a great question. It is really a constant monitoring of that debt portfolio. Just like you have an investment portfolio, you have a debt portfolio. As the Manager said, if we can't make money on the asset side, we need to Page 59 March 8, 2022 spend less money on the debt side. So we're constantly monitoring that in concert with your financial advisor, PFM, to look at different debt issues that would generate a 5 percent savings, anything above 5 percent. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And that 5 percent justifies going --getting involved in the process , correct? MR. JOHNSSEN: Yes, ma'am, it does. And, again, I think another important point is when we quote savings to y ~l the costs of closing are included in those numbers . ~ '\ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: ThankyouA~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Very good~~ good.

Item #1 lB Page 60 March 8, 2022 BUDGET AMENDMENT TO REALLOCATE FUNDS IN RELATION TO INVITATION TO BID ("ITB") NO. 21-7935, "WIGGINS PASS AND DOCTORS PASS DREDGE 2021-2022," IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,197,180.00 AND MAKE A FINDING THAT THIS EXPENDITURE PROMOTES TOURISM - APPROVED Item 1 lB, it's a recommendation to authorize the~sary budget amendments to reallocate funds in relation t I · ation to Bid ITB No. 21-7935. It's the Wiggins Pass and Do ass Dredge for 2021/2022 in the amount of $2,197,180, ~"~~-finding that this expenditure promotes tourism. Andrew ~ your Coastal Zone Management director, will present. ~ ~ MR. ANDREW MILLER: G~11~urning, again, Commissioners. And I've got s~~kground and a couple pictures that --you should find teresting. At this time last year, o :.Q efore last year, we recognized that Wiggins Pass was ge · ~){allow, shoaling to the point where we became concemed_.,..,.,"""-..,..'-'ating community became concerned, and even though w ~ai lanned and budgeted for the dredging at a little later date, w,G~ded to go ahead and expedite the project. We started desig9lP ~The design and permitting in May of last year. And ~~!~r four months we put the project on the street for bid in Oct¥. We got bids in and the contract ready to process by December and realized that if we wanted to go to three boards to spend 195 funding, it was going to push us into January because TDC does not meet in December. And we felt it was important to get the project moving, so we used General Funds to open the PO to get the contractor on board, and we started him in late December. The good news I'll give you today is that what you're looking at on the screen is Wiggins Pass as it was before the dredge started, and Page 61 March 8, 2022 you can see the shoaling there. Troy, can we switch to the other view. And this was just probably a few days ago. You can see that the dredger is nearing completion and, according to the folks in the field, we should be finishing up Wiggins Pass dredge tomorrow around midnight. And so all is well with Wiggins Pass. This item is essentially to transfer 195 funds back into General Funds to basically repay that. And so what we're askL~re is for the _Board to authoriz~ a budget amendment and to ~~~at this proJect promotes tounsm. "~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Absolutely~ Commissioner Solis. ~ ~ -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Yeah ®~e to give a shout-out to Andy and the staff that have been W?(~i~n this. You know, the residents that live back, you kno~~d from Wiggins Pass, the Yacht Club there, were really CQQ~ ed. And you guys did a great job, you know, keeping the ,__,~...__,_,~, informed of what was going on, and they really took to he ~~;yt you were monitoring it on a constant basis. So a great sho o you and the staff that were monitoring all this and getting ~at eon how to expedite it, too. So thanks for that. It was greatl'j a~reciated by everybody up around Wiggins Pass. ~'-' CHAI 1-'""'1 McDANIEL: Absolutely . Com · ioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, while I respect advisory boards and their need to have breaks, I think when you have something this level of urgency, I'd like to see if there's any consensus up here that they call a special meeting to -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Sure. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I mean, what do you think, Commissioner Solis? Page 62 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Yeah, I think --I think what --I mean, we could do that, but I think the solution that the staff came up with was an emergency thing. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No, it was a good solution, but I don't even know if it's necessary to do that, go back and forth. Why not just --this is important because it's more than just tourism that -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: I think it was just that this particular December, I think the meeting would have --~usual meeting would have --we just didn't have one in&~er. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I thought t rmally don't meet in December. ~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Because ,i0~7he TDC meetings are usually what day of the month? ~ '-' MR. ANDREW MILLER: I bfo!~e~t would have been the 28th of December. So it just wa~~venient time-wise. COMMISSIONER SOLI ~~ah, it was going to be difficult to get everybody there, I think. ~Nnyway. Either way, yeah. I mean, I think if there's --· .-.Y.s an issue that's kind of a crisis, I mean, we could alway ~.~.--a --we've done it before. COMMISSIO~K AYLOR: Yeah. CHAIRMAI-0.100ANIEL: And at the end of the --you know, my thought p~~s that the TDC is an advisory board to this board. T~¥d' s the one that pulls the trigger in order to make these thin~t done. I have a compliment for Andy and staff as well just because I can remember the day when we used to --when we were coming out of Wiggins Pass. We had to jump and get up on a plain because there wasn't enough water to shoot the --to shoot over the sandbar, so ... COMMISSIONER SOLIS: It was getting dangerous, yeah. It was closing in fast. Page 63 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well in advance of that. I mean, there were some maybe larger draft boats that had issues, but compliments for, as Commissioner Solis said, moving it forward. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Now, could I ask a question? Because you brought up an issue, Mr. Chair, that --I mean, some of these --if we're going to used TDC funds , these things have to go to the TDC -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. ~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: --first, right, so~ ~em or for all of them? "~ MR. KLATZKOW: Yes. Ifyou're ~o · ~se TDC funds, you need the TDC to review it, make a rec ndation. It will com_e to you. You make a finding whe ~ not it promotes tounsm. ~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: ~'). So there's a statutory requirement that it --«- MR. KLATZKOW: Y )o~re is. COMMISSIONER ~~~: Right. Okay. So, yeah, I think if there's a need, I mean,~, an emergency meeting is perfectly well and good. I think ~~instance it was just it was a 28th, and it was. CHAIRM cDANIEL: My misunderstanding. I was --I apologize, J..a"l~~1ly thought that there was a requisite for recommen on and then we actually did the final expenditure. MR. KLATZKOW: If timing is an issue, it can come to you first, all right, and it will be conditional use of TDC funds. By it going back to them, they would make a recommendation . Should they somehow not make the recommendation, you may have to use General Funds, but that's highly unlikely. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's a more eloquent way of Page 64 March 8, 2022 doing it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Excuse me. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Just one second, Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I guess just a couple questions for the County Attorney, just so I understand. And this process seemed to work well. We used General Fund ~ey, but now it's being reimbursed with tourist taxes after t~<\~ Are you saying that we really can't do that? You can'~e ~ money in advance in an emergency and then have the T iew it after the fact? It has to --5;;) ~ MR. KLATZKOW: You can, ye ~you're running the risk the TDC will say, no, we do not reco~---.~d the use of funds. COMMISSIONER SAUND_.:~~~-,: Then we'd appoint a new TDC. ~~ MR. KLATZKOW: t"\;"w ithin your powers, yes. COMMISSIONER ,~-...i 1 ERS: So the point I'm making is, I don't --this worked w I don't want to take away from staff the ability to react in aJ.Klll ~ ency situation like this. CHAIRMA M OO ANIEL: Right. COMMIS ER SAUNDERS: And so I'd be reluctant to say, well, i~~--"'~...is an emergency, you have to call an emergency TDC meet in advance. I think the staff has to have some flexibility like they did in this one. MR. KLATZKOW: And we do this all the time. When there's an emergency, it comes to you first, and then we'll go to the TDC with the understanding of the remote chance you might have to use General Funds. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. So that's my point. I just want staff to continue to be able to have some flexibility in the Page 65 case of a situation like this. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Absolutely. Commissioner Taylor. March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So, Mr. Miller, what's going on with Doctors Pass? Have you yet to start Doctors Pass dredging? MR. ANDREW MILLER: Like I said, the dredging at Wiggins will wrap up tomorrow around midnight, and they'll begin mobilization to Doctors Pass. I would imagine within ~ek or so we'll be down at Doctors Pass actively dredging, s9 ~ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And is t~e ~t of silting there? Because I know that that's always be blem. MR. ANDREW MILLER: It wasn't ~i as bad as Wiggins, but the numbers are --I think we dredg ~)oo cubic yards from Wiggins, and we're going to wind u1r--cye~ng 25,000 from Doctors or so. And the good news is tha!____ ~~nd is going to go on Lowdermilk Park in between w~ renourished last year and what we renourished this year, so · \~ng to close that gap, and everyone's going to have ~~1 --nice new wide beach. COMMISSIONE~l LOR: So you're taking it to Lowdermilk? A '-' MR. ANDR W"M ILLER : Absolutely, yes. COMMIS ER TAYLOR: And how are we moving with talking to ~ · hbors just north of Doctors Pass regarding the desperate ~tlon they're in? MR. ANDREW MILLER : Actually, we just had a meeting --our staff had a meeting yesterday with the folks at --the community on the south is --I can't remember the name of --the condo community, but they're actually working with us to allow us to store our fuel barge adjacent to their docks. So they're all well aware of the situation, and they're well aware that we're going to be addressing the need for the dredge. Page 66 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: At Doctors Pass? MR. ANDREW MILLER: Correct. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. All right. Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Yeah. I'll make a motion to approve the budget amendment. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Second. '> CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. It'~be n~Yed and seconded that we approve the budget amendme commended by the staff report.

Your senior leadership team, Mr. French, Ms. Scott illiams, and Mr. Yilmaz, are available and will discuss theAem MR. FREN~ Xiood morning, Commissioners. Thank you for your time to . For the record, Jamie French, your department head for C~r>"lrf,,t~ .... ~1:nity Development. I'm h to answer any questions that you may have. Otherwise, we've provided a brief presentation just to go over some of the numbers. That was already provided to you in your backup material. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Nobody --well, there's Commissioner Taylor. I almost got you past. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'd like to make a motion to approve this. It's needed, and I think --I'm very excited to see this. Page 68 March 8, 2022 MR. FRENCH: Thank you, ma'am. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll second that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. It's been moved and seconded. Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I'd like to hear the presentation first, and then I'd like to make some comments. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And then we have ~ speakers. MR. FRENCH: Sure. Thank you, ~ "\, '("' Commissioner --Commissioners. ~~ Again, I'm going to kind of start this off. o over the numbers that directly correlate with the are ~ s within my purview, and then I'll tum it over to the ~ '1tepartment heads -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: S}l{~· ~ , MR. FRENCH: --for thei~~tation. So just very high level, w ~re seeking today is five fully funded for Fund 113 and f o s for Fund 131. That equates to two building inspectors ap.:t!~~ plumbing; one plumbing inspector mechanical --I'm so ~... e building inspector in our mechanical. That's your HVAC ~u~ electrical inspector; and then one building plans reviewer pr· ~Illy with a plumbing license. We're also 1ng within our 131, our land-use side, is one senior pr~ ager, which would be a licensed engineer; one senior fiel ¥pector, one principal planner; and one planner. You'll notice none of these positions that we're asking for are support professionals. These are all licensed, skilled professionals within our organization that they're going to be in high detail review and inspection process. Permit activity overall, just year over year to give you a snapshot. And, again, this was provided in your backup material. Just to give you a good idea, as we can see, we're seeing that steady Page 69 March 8, 2022 growth with 2018 being a little bit of a misnomer. It could have been fluctuation in market, market prices, but we are starting to see the average growth increase. The building inspection activity, that's pretty significant. And in your backup material we've indicated to you that our average inspector's driving about 80 miles a day in this traffic, and they're performing anywhere from 24 to 36 inspections per day. Now, when we compare that to the City of Naples, City of Marco, ai.{l !hose other areas within Collier County, they're also perform~·n a~h number of inspections, but their average drive time, their w · · eld time is somewhere between five and 10 miles. ~ So we're able to do this with the --tha o --under the leadership of the County Manager, he's~~ s some good direction and supported us in the use of ov~ ~ we have taken advantage of that to a point where I've actual a to take a stand and cap a little bit overtime just for safety ns because when you've got an employee or got a skilled lie s rofessional that can come in at 4:30 in the morning an~ 110:00 at night, it goes beyond --at that point we've out-us resource, so to speak. So we need them to rest and ge w es legs for the morning. Land devel R~ review activity, although you don't see --you see a more calcJ~~~~c. approach with my leadership and under the leadership ~-----• osi and Ms. Cook, what we --with the Planning Commiss1 hat you don't see is a lot of the site development plans that are administratively reviewed and approved and the correlation that goes into that with the actual development activity. And so, again, our summary is that we're asking nine FTEs, five vehicles, because five of those positions are in the field. These are fully funded by Enterprise Fund 113 and 119 --I'm sorry, 131, my apologies, and there is no cost, no impact to the General Fund. This was unanimously supported by your Development Services Page 70 March 8, 2022 Advisory Committee and the Collier Building Industry Association. Is there any questions on the Growth Management Plan Community Development? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. I mean, I'm wanted --I knew it was just a few slides, but I think it's just important that, you know, the general public who watches this, you know, sees these numbers. And, you know, we get a lot of comP-1 ~ sometimes that permitting isn't moving as fast and ,O\~~ constructive-criticism type things. But, you kn 9'~S not because the county is sitting on their hands. You nee,.@'iklnanpower and the staff that you need. ~ ~ Just a couple of comments. I rece~~ended a Development Services Advisory Committee m~eti, ~AC, and sat next to Mr. French and heard from the pe e at run that committee how your staff could really benefit f~~ me help. But I wanted to --I wa ~~really make a point. I spoke with our County Manager yest~~, and we've got to make sure that you have the dedicated H rt that you need. You know, one of the challenges of any o~n tion is when you have empty seats or needed staff, the ~~et the FTEs, you advertise for the jobs, a pouring of ap h ns come in. Somebody's got to vet those, interview ~ le, et cetera, et cetera. And from the conversation I had with~. rench and with Mr. Isackson is when that department is so busy, sometimes juggling the daily work and then, you know, the valuable people you're trying to hire. So we had a great conversation yesterday where I know Mr. Isackson and his team is working with HR. And in the past --I mean, I was educated in the past when we had these similar challenges, and not that we moved anybody from HR, not that we hired any extra people, but somebody or a person was identified as Page 71 March 8, 2022 being maybe more dedicated or chopped, if you will, you know, or matched to the different departments that were about to have a lot of applications hit the --hit the airwaves so that you could get through those quickly and build the staff fast. And so I liked what I heard from Mr. Isackson. You know , he's got a lot of great ideas on how we can accelerate some support, you know, for your department and others that are looking to hire more people but, really, the HR piece is a key piece. I mea~0 applications come in and they sit on your --and ~'m ~ying this literally. But if they sit on a desk for an extend ount of time because it takes time to vet and hire and inte ~ d all that, then you won't get these needed people you nee ~~ So I was really encouraged yester~~ing to Mr. Isackson about some unique things that, you 15J,19~ve done in the past in different business ventures that I~~ of how you could get a little extra mileage out of HR and fo ~~amount of time, whether it's 30 or 60 days, or whatever is n ~)--Have them dedicate very specific people to make it sort of · ~Yiority to really work hard with you so that when people appl ese jobs that we're going to advertise that we can move a){ttle it quicker and get them up on staff and up and running sow ~~deliver, you know, better customer service. So I appre ~:"""what Mr. Isackson and what Ms. Patterson said in my offic._,1':,-~.ou know, their close relationship with HR. And t , Jamie, just as you and I talked about, it's a --it's a dance, you know, it's a balance. But anything you can do --you know, the easy part's approving these, actually. The hard part's then, you know , getting these folks in. So let us know if you're hitting a wall somewhere or you need help or, you know, whatever. And it's not throwing HR under the bus or the County Manager, but we're all a team here. So like I said, it's easy to just say, you know --you know, I second the motion, Page 72 March 8, 2022 everybody approves, and then, you know, we're sitting here months later, and maybe you've got a stack of applications but not necessarily interviews and hires and all that. So, you know, we're here to help you as well, and County Manager's Office has pledged that he's going to work very closely with HR to help ensure that we put a priority on supporting you in any way we can and the other --the other folks that are adding FTEs. So thank you. "'"'-.""'-> MR. FRENCH: Certainly appreciate that, C~ra.p ~oner. And just to note during the first recession, or the~~s1on not that long ago, and certainly not outside of our --t~ ~apes our memory. But if not for Mr. Isackson and Ms. Lybe~~~ould not have been as successful over the past years, becau~ ~yhave been really wonderful partners as well as the Co}lr.!t~tomey's Office and Jeff giving his good guidance. But th ~ thing that we would ask for is perhaps --and I'm joking, bu ewe could make it illegal for that might be helpful. CHAIRMAN Mc ~i L: So moved. MR. FRENCfk ~cld you like to hear from the other departments? t~ ~ COMMIS ER LoCASTRO: I knew you had --I'm just saying for --,anted --I knew you had some big numbers in here that I thin echoed in the other departments. I don't necessarily need to hear, but if my colleagues want to hear their other presentations, but this is all paddling in the same direction. And the other departments are going to always need accelerated HR help as well to make sure we actually fill and we don't miss out --because one of the things that also happens is someone applies for a job at the county who's a superstar never hears from the county, we find out six months later or six days later they're working for Page 73 March 8, 2022 Arthrex. You know, they're working for something else and, you know, they moved a lot faster than we did, and we lost somebody who really did want to work for the county, so we want to prevent that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Jamie. Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: For some reason I do not have this presentation in my packet, the one that you're sho~ow. MR. FRENCH: This is --I'm sorry, ma'am~~~s just a summarization of what was provided to you in t ched materials.

It's been moved and seconded t approve these requests. Is there any other discussion. (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Public comment. MR. MILLER: Yes, sir. We have three registered speakers for this item, two here in the room and one online. Amelia Vasquez will be followed by Dan Cook. MS. VASQUEZ: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Amelia Vasquez. I'm the executive officer for the Collier Page 74 March 8, 2022 Building Industry Association. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today concerning Agenda Item 11 C , the staff positions requested today by the Collier County Growth Management Department, Jamie French. On behalf of Collier Building Industry Association leadership and members , I am pleased to share our support of the staff positions. Your vote in this action will result in no fiscal impact to the General Fund, as Jamie explained, and there will be no addition~crease in fees to fund these positions. With the addition ~f n· ~quested positions, our Growth Management Division wi Lbl e to continue to provide the quality service and better supp ~ M ition rates and retirements in the departments. 5::) ~ Let me also add that we work very c~~ly with Jamie French and his staff to provide quality servi~..i. a~pplications, inspection requests from our members, sa~in ~ and money for both the staff and the professionals that we s . I appreciate this oppo~·t o speak with you concerning this agenda item. Thank ~ou CHAIRMAN Mc L: Thank you. MR. MILLER;<: Y ~ r next speaker is Dan Cook. He'll be followed online b{J:I~ichael Mogil. MR. COO ~U ood morning, Commissioners, Board. When -~J..l ed through the agenda this morning, I read through 11 C, and t ing that came to my mind is government is growing. And that's normally a red flag for me to just be a little weary of that; however, after the presentation, I'm glad to hear that money's not coming from the General Fund, so I don't think it's affecting taxpayers, so that's not an issue for me anymore . However, I would just say whatever this fund that the money is coming from doesn't negate the fact that we should --you know, if we're running a business and we have to hire more staff, is it Page 75 March 8, 2022 absolutely necessary? I guess that's my point. And so as you as commissioners, you've already looked through the packet, you're privy to a lot more information than I am. So I just merely want to ask and reiterate and encourage you to really look through and to ask if the county managers are doing everything possible to work within the budget that they already have , the staff that they already have, and really know for sure if this is necessary. And like I said, I don't know the ins and outs of this. I~'t know how needed these positions are or not, but I just w~Bt ~ share the concern just for fiscal responsibility, so thank y ~~ MR. MILLER: Your final speaker for ~\.tr}rn online, H. Michael Mogil. Sir, you're being prompte ~~mute yourself, if y~u'll do s? at this time. And there yo ~~~ ou have three minutes, sir. ~ MR. MOGIL: Thank you. *~ talking about expanded customer and program demand. ~-what I read in the brief writeup and what I just heard in the s ation is we need more people in order to have more growt · means that we'll need more people. We are already b · · or overbuilding at a record pace as based on the graph ~af ere just presented, and that trend line says that we'll be back ~x~ear or the year after that for more people. So what I to do is find out about things that we're doing now. An · · n't about the construction piece. This is about just keeping tli edian strip vegetation trimmed so drivers can see the oncoming traffic. This is an ongoing thing that doesn't require inspectors, and yet the county's not doing a good job on this. I drive an SUV, and I can tell you that I'm high, and I can't see over the vegetation. What about all the drivers that are in small cars? So I'm going to go back to my experience in the National Weather Service for three decades where I had to specifically justify Page 76 March 8, 2022 new positions, not just a statement that we needed them or the program needed them, and not a blanket statement that there's no cost, because there is a cost in putting new people in here. If it's not in direct cost, it's going to be in benefits. And if it's not in benefits, it's going to be in something else. So I had to justify every single position that we justified. We either had to reprogram, we had to re-prioritize. We had to move people around. We had to do stuff before somebody s~, Ji ere, have new FTEs. And I don't see that here. I just see a .bla~t statement that everything' s good. "~ So what I would like to do is ask that w ~\..wme more details about this. Where is the money coming fr ~ ~se positions? If, indeed, it is being reprogrammed from ~~~ere else, then I think that should be part of the presentatio)l:"'" ~ And what I would do is urg~ ~\t}ef ore we hire new FTEs no matter how, quote, necessary it -~is moment, that we have a little bit more Sunshine in this to e really need 20 new FTEs or maybe we need 10 or ma,.,.._~ do need 20, I don't know. But I think maybe we need ~r etail, and I'd like to see it before it gets approved. A "" Thank you. : ~ CHAIRM cDANIEL: Thank you, Mike. MR . ..L.,.....~'i..J That was your final speaker on this. CHA AN McDANIEL: Very good. Is there any other discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's been moved and seconded that we approve as directed by the -- CO MMIS SI ONER LoCASTRO: May I make one comment? No, I think it's important. I want to address, if I could. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yeah. Page 77 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Just as a comment about the medians and, you know, the county's not doing anything. Just, you know, for the record, not all medians and sides of the roads are created equal, as we know. Our county works really hard with Florida Department of Transportation, and many of those areas that may be --might be overgrown --and I don't disagree that we have some areas that need attention --are FDOT's responsibility. And I don't say that to kick the can, but I really applaud the cc~1t}'. FDOT right now is in serious, serious lack of ,s¥~They're doing the same thing that we are, but it's not add~~ff; they're trying to replace staff. But, you know, those~k.work for the county that are hearing me speak right now-O~I know the County Manager's been really instrumental in ~~sure that in areas where we had serious overgrowth thpi,t ~w~1dn't just sit here and wait for FDOT to show up, that we ac~~artnered in some areas to make sure things got cut. ~ But to the speaker's co e\il§ about, you know, the medians being overgrown and the ~Mt4;v not doing anything, a lot of what is being observed by resi~;. ...... ~~,.,.,· s actually under FDOT's control. And we've been really p ~c· e to try to work with them during a time where they're rea ~slk:>rt staffed. So it's not an excuse, but just a clarification of i t the county doing nothing. CHAI 1-'""'1 McDANIEL: And I just would like to say, you know, it's -it's important for us to remember that folks that come to the podium or speak to us in person necessarily have the right to say whatever they want even if it isn't correct. And so we have to resist the urge to respond . But similar when I spoke to Mike earlier about asking questions, we don't ask questions during this period of time. This is a portion of public comment. And any of the circumstances that are, in fact, addressed, we are --we have the --we have that information and that Page 78 March 8, 2022 knowledge and that recommendation from our staff. So I just --it's important for me, for us to --for us to realize that when folks --when folks come to the podium to speak with us, they have the right to say necessarily whatever they want, express their concerns, and then we can address those concerns as is, in fact, required, so ... COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Well, I thought it was required there, and I don't think we --I would respect~isagree. I don't think we resist the urge, because if incorrec! ic{i~ation is hanging out there on public comment, I think th ~~ge person watching us, then that's their last takeaway. ~ "1ecretly we answer his question or correct the record in secret ~~ne-to-one email, the rest of the public doesn't get the be ~?that. So I'm not saying in every part~~la~se, but when broad statements are made under publi1' c ~ent --and I welcome when they're correct or not --but I thi u know, at any time --you know, we've seen this befor ~ the County Manager has injected in or an attorney said, for ~Yord, what was just stated, you know, needs a little more clar· n. So in this part~la ase I just wanted to add that clarification, because I know ~ ~rd our county staff is working to partner and work with FDO address those issues. AN McDANIEL: All right. It's been moved and seconded. With no further discussion, all in favor? COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Aye. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye.

JJ--..-.....r D: It's been a long time, I feel like, I've been standing a s podium. But I'm here to present to you this contract. Just a little bit of background. We've had a CAT/AVL or a computer-aided dispatch and automated vehicle locater system, which has a lot of other components associated with it that I'll go over in a little bit for over 10 years now. We went through a very intense process recently, and back in 2020 we hired a consultant to evaluate all of our technology and help us to prepare a roadmap going forward to determine where we go Page 80 March 8, 2022 with our technology, whether or not we should be just upgrading some of our existing technology or replacing it altogether. And with that roadmap we started the various procurement processes, and we are here today to address one of the many components that was identified in that assessment to address the CAD/ A VL and improve our products and our various technology on there, including some of the fare box. This proposed system will provide for us , as I in~~' an integrated intelligence system, or a CAD/ A VL s~st 1~t that system helps us with monitoring where the buse n the roadway and help us to track our on-time performance~ Another component is a mobile data t ~~ which is the little computers that are on our buses that he ~ ~ith logging on for our drivers and all of the various compo~J!~at they were having to track with passengers getting on~~-of the bus. And we have an automated voice annunciator sy hich helps with our ADA compliance. That helps for ~ ually impaired that are utilizing our system to know whe~._,,,.. ... ~Yxt stop is coming. The automated v · nunciator also helps with some of our advertising technol 9(y i the bus as well. We've got a Jm')-t ed passenger counters that's included with this. We track cling and alighting of all of our --at all of our stops , and· us with planning for future routing and stop locations. We've got --this system will help us integrate with our electronic fareboxes , and that's a new proposal that's going to be coming back to you-all in a couple months . On board sign infotainment system is another component of this , and that's going to provide us some digital information for our passengers as well as digital advertising in the future. One of the new components that's going to be included in this Page 81 March 8, 2022 award is the piloting of a traffic signal prioritization. That's --we're working with our traffic ops team, and they're going to be working with us identifying appropriate locations where we could look to allow the bus to have signal priority when we're running behind, and that's going to be limited times, hopefully, that we use that. There's --those are the highlights in terms of the various components that are included in this proposal. We worked with our procurement staff and did aic · tation where we had three responsive bidders, and they're · · 1ed here on the slide. The recommendation is to award the · NGIE, I'm going to leave it at that, doing business as EN~~ That's a pretty successful company that has a lot of experi ~ ith this type of technology. '-"--~ Staff did negotiate with the venft._~r ~ was able to reduce the costs about 267,225. And the o~~ward is for $2.1 million.

ISACKSON: Mr. Ed Finn, your director of Facilities Management, will present. MR. FINN: Thank you, Mr. Isackson. I've perfected the just-in-time management approach. Mr. Chairman, Edward Finn, Facilities Management director. I'm here today to --it's a good-news item --get the Board's Page 83 March 8, 2022 approval on Professional Services Request No. 21-7911, design services for the surtax-funded Collier County Mental Health Facility. The only exception I will note here is that I will point out that we are fully committed to this project. This is a major community project funded by the surtax, and this has the full attention of myself and my staff. And our intent is to prosecute this to the best of our ability. I would point out that one little thing in here inv~~-this design contract includes the entitlement work for pr >~ that this facility's going to be built on, and that was origi he responsibility of the David Lawrence Center. ost of that is about $91,000. It's included in this design ~1 as a request that DLC made to county staff through the ~~yManager's Office a few months back. We are acknowl¢~i~hat we're going to do that on their behalf or now it will be ~~onsibility.

I think maybe Ed can intro et e whole team back there, because, you know, we've got the A team working on this. Thank you very much for that. And I appreciate the attention and the priority that you're all putting on this, because this is --this is a big deal, and thanks for --for all of the extra efforts to prioritize this. And I think the change into the county staff handling the entitlements makes sense to me. It just --I mean, it's what we do -- MR. FINN: Yes, sir. Page 84 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER SOLIS: --you know, and so I support that completely. And, again, thanks for all of the dedication and attention that everyone is putting into this. It's very much appreciated, and I would make a motion to approve it. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Second.

Item #12B RESOLUTION 2022-45: APPOINTING PAUL SHAE~ THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY COMM~\~- ADOPTED ~ MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners,~~gs us to Item 12 . 12B was brought forward, formerly Ite ~~-It's a recommendation to appoint member to ~ Affordable Housing Committee. This was brought fo r by Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCA : Thank you. I just wanted to give th· e clarification for the Board. Another good-news storx ....... ~1:1 me out of our meeting two weeks ago about how we wa 1Jl1~ · ht a fire , we want to accelerate our focus on affordable~uling. So what this does is --I guess way back when, I me aCI ~as educated by some folks that are on the --have been b&.-Tu e Affordable Housing Committee for a while, and they s · C1'11~t an advantage it was to have somebody from the Planning mission who would have a seat on the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to answer very specific questions, and it was very valuable at the time. They named the names of people who had taken that role before , and then it just disappeared one day . But we all said, why can't we bring it back, and we ran it through the channels. So we're going to be adding, it's sounded like to me , Paul Shea, I believe, is the person from the Planning Commission. Mr. Shea is going to be an add-on. And then also on Page 86 March 8, 2022 top of that, and it's not, you know, part of this line item, but in addition, in the conversation from our affordable housing meeting --advisory committee meeting yesterday, there was a lot of questions that were in Mr. French's area of Growth Management. And so we want to be much more proactive, and rather than just talk via emails and have it --you know, we kick the can for two weeks or whatever, Mr. French agreed to attend the next Affordable Housing Committee meeting in early April and sepan~! ... ~or from fact, help us get our hands around certain things an_ck.b~rt of the accelerated solution. "~ So, really, we're going to be permanentl~~g Paul Shea from the Planning Commission and, Mr. Fren~'?i\Jreciate you attending the April meeting, because there's a lot ~ ~~s that you can help educate. We have a lot of new me~~r~oo, in the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. ~\,) So I really just wanted to 2'.~ttle spotlight that this just wasn't, oh, we're asking for i(e\~a chair. We're bringing in a very, very specific piece of ex ·• ~at had helped this committee in the past and, you know, w· o again. So another improvement. Thank you. A , CHAIRMA~OOANIEL: Do we need to make a motion on those adjustmen . MR. I~~:~ON: It would be appropriate, sir, yes . Thank you. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I make a motion that we approve. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Second. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's been seconded. Commissioner Taylor, so that brings something I was going to bring up at the correspondence. The City of Naples has made a request, not in writing, but I do present to them once a month. They Page 87 March 8, 2022 would like a seat on the Affordable Housing Committee. So I don't know --I don't know what the pleasure of this board is, but I'm bringing that towards you. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: It was mentioned at Monday's meeting, but it was sort of an aside. Somebody else had heard it. I don't know that, you know, necessarily we need, you know, a formal request written in, you know, letters or whatnot. Jacob's getting up here. But somebody mentioned it !.~meeting, and we thought I don't know if that's good or bad. ~ lt ~ounds great to me. We didn't vote on it because we weren't ~~ sure how formal of a request it was or if somebody jus t_.A &l.ght it was a neat idea. ~~ But, Jacob, if you want to sort of f ~~t}'e -- MR. LaROW: Good morning~o~issioners. Jacob LaRow, your Affordable Housing manag~ \) To Commissioner LoCastr ~~int, yes, I've been communicating with the Flo · a ousing Coalition which is our technical advisory comm ·..,,...~t at advises us on our SHIP program, the local housing assis~1 Ian that we put together. And so I know.,4ie~had been a query about a City of Naples elected official p0(£t i~. We did have clarification from the Florida Housing Coa~i~)rat is something that the board could act on at a future date ~ I also had submitted a formal request for legal services t ~ County Attorney's Office, and they did confirm that that was something that was allowable under our ordinances that this board has previously passed. So just as a note , a clarification, with the appointment of Paul Shea, we will be full. The committee can only have a maximum of 11 members. So after --presumably, here in a couple minutes, we'll have 11 members, but this coming October, we'll have three positions that the terms for those positions will expire, and that would provide Page 88 March 8, 2022 an opportunity for a City Council --a City of Naples councilmember to be appointed as well. And one other just sidenote, the County Attorney's Office did further indicate that should the Board wish to do so, a City Council member from the City of Naples could be appointed as an advisory member of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee but would not have any voting rights until such time a vacancy would arise, presumably in the fall. "\.. } COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah, I wip'\a~t'at, now that I'm recalling the conversation that we had, ~~ was very informal, there was a few people on the boar h\tlelt like the City of Naples was already represented. I can't re er --Jacob, you didn't hate the idea or anything, but ~!h~ ole thing was to make sure that representation was on t~~ and not necessarily if it was an elected official or not. , ~ And then I'd echo the s e\b'i ng you would say, anyone can attend our meetings at an · . So if there's an elected official that wants to sort of wait h · r tum or for us to vote, they could have been coming to the K:m tings all the time. You know, they didn't need to wait for ~~t the table. I mean, we have citizens that come all the tim ~)rd they're not, you know, appointed or anything, and we als ~~~~1oned that. Am ect, weren't there a few that have been on our committee for a while who felt that it might be --and we were just brainstorming. Nobody was shooting anything down. But weren't there a few that felt like the City of Naples , not by an elected official, but as educated developers, whatnot, felt like they were represented? It may or may not be enough, so nobody was shooting anything down. But didn't --wasn't that the conversation? MR. LaROW: Yes, Commissioner, your recollection is correct. Page 89 March 8, 2022 I think a number of them said by residency that they reside within the city and so were presumably representing the city. Residency and jurisdiction is one of the statutory qualifications that we have to meet for AHAC, and we do have at least two, I believe, on AHAC that represent that, but that is for the county as a whole, not necessarily the city. But the question, I think, that was posed to staff was for a City Council member to be represented and not just a resident. ~ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Right. ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, yes, e , a City Council. So I think maybe from this point o~ standing there's no vacancies at this time, given state statut~liat we can do is I'll ask the city to write a formal letter of re ~)'o specify that they would like an elected official on this oa~ and then once you get it, maybe you can respond according then we'll start that process. I think it's important to have th r. CHAIRMAN McD~N ~ think that's a good way to proceed. We've got ite with --that's been moved and seconded for the other~~ ns' appointments, and having that specifically from th~it~ould be a great way to handle that. COMMISSI®ffi TAYLOR: All right. Thank you very much. ~ '-' CHAI 1-'""'1 McDANIEL: Okay. It's been moved and seconded t t ose appointments be rendered. Any other discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor? COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Aye. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. Page 90 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Opposed, same sign, same sound. (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So moved. MR. ISACKSON: Thank you , Commissioners. That moves us to Item 15 on your agenda . It's general communications from the County Manager's Office, the County Attorney, and the Board. "'"'-."\J I'd like to start off with a couple things. O~e i ~e Kristi Sonntag to come to the podium and give the Bo avor for what's going on in the rental assistance program and~ of the most recent news reports that have come out, just so th e<l)~ has a flavor for what w~•r~ trying to do there. ~ ~ Kr1st1. \,, MS. SONNTAG: Good ~QJ, Commissioners. Kristi Sonntag, your Community and n Services director. I'm pleased to report th o arch 17th we will open the American Recovery port .,.....~ ill allow for rental assistance for those persons 81 perce~~ above the area median income and also assist homeowners ~o"'1ve housing instability related to their mortgage, and th ~ ~uld be folks from O to 140 percent. And as you know, most e programs that we do offer, the federally funded pr~ , assist those 80 percent and below . So tli1~ a nice opportunity for the community to expand the range of services that we can offer, and it also opens it up to a larger group of individuals. So we're really excited about that. I'm also happy to report that we've entered into an agreement with Legal Aid to offer free legal services to folks facing foreclosure and eviction. I'm happy to report three people have already accessed that program. We just entered into a contract last week, so that's exciting. Page 91 March 8, 2022 And also we have a contract with HELP. Many of you might be familiar with that organization, and they are our housing navigators. So the role of the housing navigator will be to try to secure housing for folks, work with landlords, try to encourage landlords to participate in our ERA program and in our ARP program. And everyone who goes through our American Recovery Program will be offered financial counseling to help them get back on their feet if they're behind on rent, mortgage, and so 1Q.rtp. So we're really excited about the new progr~m ~1 thank you for your support with the American Recovery Pr . You'll be seeing an amendment the end of March. I dCff_~ n know what month we're in; sorry. You'll be seeing an~'¥oment the end of March, and I think you'll be pleased wit~ of the changes that are happening with the program. S~~n~estions? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL:~'~ a brief comment. I just --I really, really appreciate what y ~ in fact, doing. And it's programs don't go to the , don't go to the person that's got --that's behind on ~ ortgage payment. There's a verification process~d\-collaborative effort with the landlord and/ or the mortg a-6,r ~ho are the ultimate recipient of these relief funds. This ~n~hat's one of --it's just important for the public to hear that, 9'~e are very, very tightly monitored to get the assistance¥ause that was our board's direction back in the day when the CARES money came available and this program became available, that this board wanted that assistance to go to the people who were in need of it. And so our staft's been moving in that regard, and I really appreciate --really appreciate your efforts. Thank you. MS. SONNTAG: Thanks. I couldn't do it without all the staff and definitely the Clerk's Office. I need to give them some kudos. Page 92 March 8, 2022 They push out a lot of checks every month, and they've been really great partners with us, and I really appreciate that, so ... CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Kristi, again. MS. SONNTAG: Okay, thanks. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, just a reminder of some of your critical dates for the budget cycle, if I can. MR. MILLER: I don't know why that's not work~ MR. ISACKSON: If I can get this thing to&~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Somebody hi ower button already. ~ MR. ISACKSON: That's all right. P0i~T --I'll just announce them. ~"' Commissioners, a reminder tha~o~ubmittals for the Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections, and the ~~~f Courts are on May 1st. Your budget workshop dates ar ~ 16th and, if necessary, June 17th. You adopt your hb-'ve maximum Fiscal Year '23 millage rates on Tuesday ,,......._ 2th, 2022. The Board receives their tentative budget for '2 ~ .... ,"'..._1day July 15th, 2022, and your public hearings in Septem~ a September 8th, 2022, and your final hearing is Septe~ ~nd, 2022. Along thos~Tue lines, I know Dan Rodriguez, Deputy County Manager's,.,-~---ing to work with the City of Naples to get an acceptable e for the workshop with the city. There are a number of items that have been going back and forth in terms of the agenda for that meeting. So as soon as we get an update on that, I will let the Board know and schedule that date, so ... That's all I have. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Very good. County Attorney? MR. KLATZKOW: Nothing. Page 93 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Just --actually, I was remiss in not giving a shout-out to the Deputy County Manager, Dan Rodriguez, for also stepping in and, with Sean Callahan's departure, really spearheading the oversight of the facility and the data collaborative, which were the two most --two of the most important parts of the strategic plan. So, thank you, Dan, for jumping in on that. I should have said that before. ~ That's all I have. ~~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissione astro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I do.~ We started on a real positive note this ~1-mg recognizing some superstars. We had Scott Baio h~~~ Happy Days, Joanie Loves Chachi, Charles in Charge, a~ .,al ~at he's doing, and got a report right now he's having a su~~e with Sheriff Rambosk and all of our law enforcement tea~~t the hangar and doing a bunch of things. ,('\ ~ We recognized Jam~~upervisor of the Year, amazing; Heather and her --wel~~as one that had all the cheerleaders with her, right? Sq.(s ~ Employee of the Year. So this coun~~f is full of superstars, but what you probably don't know i ~~Tually have a superhero on our county staff. Troy :f-\~~ve the first slide, please . Keitfi~me forward here. I want you all to know this is what our chief of security and executive protection does in his off-time. So this is our Captain America at NCH in his off-time. We didn't pay for this, right , Keith? I just want to make sure this is --yeah --in his off-time. Troy, why don't you run through the slides. This is him visiting children at NCH. Got a report from my friends at NCH that just say this is like one of the biggest things that --and you'll see it's not just Page 94 March 8, 2022 the kids. Then all the staff comes out. Yeah, if we could make those a little bit bigger. There's some --I mean, you know, this is one of our own on his own time just doing --look at that. That's the NCH staff. So if you don't think they try to keep him there as long as humanly possible --and he puts amazing smiles on the faces of children. I don't think anybody really knew who he was except for Captain America. It was covered by a lot of news age~ as a good-news story. And, you know, so many times }l\ ~ we're dealing with really serious and important issues,~~'s nice to end on a good note. ~ You know, Mr. Wallace, I've got to ~~were a true professional. You know, you provide ~~e""security to me when I had a couple of death threats against ~e ~ recent event. Not really. But, you know, you've al s aid, never miss the opportunity that if you think so g can possibly go wrong, that's what you're here for. I app that. But, more importantly, for what you do for the comnni~llf' I didn't want to miss the opportunity. I'm sure~11il people saw this online and whatnot. But, you know, yo ~l),,are somebody that deserves recognition. You're one of ouv ra.w~nforcement superstars and also superhero. So thank ir, for what you're doing -- MR. ~~-~~CE: Thank you. CO SIONER LoCASTRO: --and how you're doing it. And, you know, you're really making us all proud. MR. WALLACE: Thank you. (Applause.) MR. WALLACE: Can I say something? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Sure. MR. WALLA CE: Hello. So a little over five-and-a-half years ago I came to Collier County. I remember when I used to watch the Page 95 March 8, 2022 Board on TV. At first I thought, I was like, what are they talking about? It's like, you know, it's not boring, but it's not something I paid attention to. But then when I actually started working for Collier County as a security contractor, I actually found out exactly what the Board was doing. I mean, you're actually planning for the future, not for you, but --and not for the people in the audience but their kids and their families down the long run. So you're actually shapin~ future for a long-term value and not just for personal gain~~ So, to me, that's pretty awesome. And I li viding security for each one of you. I think I've done that fo~ one of you. And I just love what I do. ~ ~ So this was something I thought aqQ~)ing for years and didn't have an outlet for it. But then after;._ ~~aptain America for Halloween, I was like, okay, now_,~ have an opportunity to put on the suit and actually do that. S~ time coming. NCH is, you know, a great organization~~~y received me well, and I think I got more out of it than t~~ , so it was awesome. you. (Applause.) -OV CHAIRMAN Wc!J)\NIEL: Outstanding. Thank you. COMMISSI Wffi SAUNDERS: Thank you. MR. WAL : Thank you. COM -NER LoCASTRO: That's all I have. Thank CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Outstanding. Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'm going to let --if you don't mind --I'm --well, I think everybody's in the room. Mr. Bellows is not coming? MR. FRENCH: He's on his way. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Pardon me? Yeah, I'd like to Page 96 March 8, 2022 wait until Mr. Bellows arrives. He's on his way. Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I don't have anything to add this afternoon. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. Well, I have --what's Ray coming for; recognition? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No, not recognition, an awareness --~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. All righ!-"\ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Ifyoucou~~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: We'll mud ~\J.Jng here with my notes. I do have one thing. I've been apA~~d by --you-all remember the Randall property, comme~~ ~strict, a special subdistrict on the south side of Rand 1 ~ of the Mobil station that goes all the way to the county-ow nd where the Forestry Department is. There's been a -----,....,..., stion that they enter in --because --they entew in a diation arrangement to renegotiate their --or reappropriate t · A, their Developer Contribution Agreement. -0 ~ And so I spok ~itb--the County Attorney about it yesterday, and I would like to s~)rard authorization to allow him to move forward with th ~ tried for almost a year working with that group. There's ei -"""'"1ne people that are involved in that commercial subdistrict --all over the country where they reside. So I'd like to allow the County Attorney to work with them to find out if, in fact, a satisfactory or a plausible developer contribution, DCA, can actually be accommodated for that group. So . COMMISSIONER SOLIS: What's the issue? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, I don't understand. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, they have a DCA for the -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Right. Page 97 March 8, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: --for the subdistrict, and the DCA's with the defunct bankrupt --or I don't know that they're actually bankrupt. Out of business development company, a developer that no longer exists and property ownership changes that have transpired since. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Doesn't that carry with the property, the DCA? Doesn't that -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yes. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: --carry un~er i~-whoever the owner is, that's what they --that was the agr t; is that correct? ~ MR. KLATZKOW: Yes. They're l~~to renegotiate the agreement. ~ '-' COMMISSIONER SOLIS: ':~f~otiate the agreement? MR. KLATZKOW: Yeah ~~ happened was once upon a time, the county got into a deal.,~lieve his name was Sullivan. There was a Comprehensive Q )imendment that would have allowed those tracts of 1;~"5ecome commercial. In exchange, the county got a prom~~fieeded right-of-way. Over --you ha.Jtth~rash and nothing's happened with the property since th ~ "'fhere are --as Commissioner McDaniel noted, there are eight o · e different property owners involved, the State Forestry S · as involved, the fire district is involved in this. It's a very plicated deal. They're just asking if they could sit down with a mediation process, see if everybody can work out a proposal that I could then bring back to the Board for your consideration. You could always say no. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You could always say no. But, there again --and, again, it's --this is the request that came to me, and the County Attorney suggested that I get the head nod to allow Page 98 March 8, 2022 him to proceed. Nothing happens --nothing happens unless this board ultimately approves it. But as it stands, there is an un-developable piece of property with the current DCA. They don't have anything to sell. The property owners wish to sell this piece of property, but they don't have a --they don't have a DCA that is functional. So there's the -- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Can we just put this on the next agenda or something? Just get a --I mean, I just feel 1~ don't understand --~ \ ~ MR. KLATZKOW: I would be happy to ~~ack for the next agenda--~ COMMISSIONER SOLIS: --what tke)i~es are. MR. KLATZKOW: --the issues,~'-' COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Th~ you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL:.,_._~~er two, job description with our magistrate. Is that what w ~ting on Mr. Bellows for? MR. ISACKSON: WNo ~ don't we --Mr. Bosi is fully versed on, I think, what 1ssioner Taylor wants to talk about, and---0~ MR. KLATZ JWW\-I would prefer if Mr. Bosi [sic] was here, because there we t~ek ain statements that were --not Mr. Bosi --Mr. Bellows was he , ecause there were certain statements attributed to him that I'~~~'"'~.,. hear in public. CHA AN McDANIEL: Let's go ahead and take care of our magistrate and that job offering that's out there as well. MR. KLATZKOW: Would you like me? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I would like you to. MR. KLATZKOW: We are currently soliciting for a new magistrate. When I learned this, I was told that we were doing this because Brenda wanted to retire. At the last special magistrate hearing, I approached Brenda. I said, you know, before I go out and Page 99 March 8, 2022 start asking some people if they'd like to apply, is it your intent to retire? She said absolutely not. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I do know that it's not up to staff to fire your special magistrate; that's up to you. So whether or not you want to give Brenda an amendment to the contract to extend her or if you want to solicit for a new special magistrate, that's a Board decision. She is your contract employee. She does not work for staff. ""'-"'-.> . CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: When does the S~~ currently expire? "~ MR. KLATZKOW: May 15. ~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: May 15tlQ ~-- COMMISSIONER SOLIS: I thi nl,,__~cy time, at least that I recall, when the contract expired, it ~~n~t to bid, and we talked to people. I mean, I remember th~t ~e. MR. KLATZKOW: Tha ot been the entire history. COMMISSIONER SO ~~ kay. MR. KLATZKOW: ~ is happening is staff wants a new special magistrate, so ~~ going through this process. Last time we went through thj,(-b~re where you had a public discussion on this. Before --I ~~he appropriate thing before going out for a solicitation w~u~~ to get Board direction whether or not that's what the Board }'\~or if the Board simply wants to extend. It's your contract e1¥yee. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: How about ifwe --how about if we set it as an agenda item for our first meeting in --where we at? COMMISSIONER SOLIS: April, yes. I mean, does that give us sufficient time to -- MR. KLATZKOW: That gives us sufficient time, yes. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And we can actually have a discussion, review the contract, and review the job offering that's out Page 100 March 8, 2022 there, and then make a decision as a board without just --without just a casual head nod with regard to how we wish to proceed. And if we don't make a decision at that time, we can certainly --if the magistrate is of the mind, we can extend the contract appropriately to be able to get to where we're needing to go. MR. KLATZKOW: I will bring you an item first meeting in April if that's what your desire is. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: That is mine. I'm t~e that brought it up. Are you okay with that? ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. No t--so we --they've already gone --we've already g ~ into the community asking for people to send --~ ~ MR. KLA TZKOW: Yes. We w ~ )Io a solicitation. You've got one response. I've got tY-l~-~r people I think would be highly qualified for that who I've ~~y spoken to. But before I pursue this, it's --this is your c~ employee. COMMISSIONER T~~lt: And so our decision is to allow this to proceed? COMMISSIONE ~'V)} S: No. I think what we're saying is, let's bring this back~ ~~;nda item so we can have a discussion about what's goi--,....,...,~~ That's the way I feel. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Well, what our intentions are. Do we -- CO ~SIONER SOLIS: Yeah, what our intentions are. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Do we wish to keep the current magistrate, or do we --and do we --are we the ones that set the parameters for the solicitation for the new magistrate? That's the -- MR. KLATZKOW: This is no different than what you're doing now with your County Manager. It's no different. COMMISSIONER SOLIS : Or the hearing examiner. MR. KLATZKOW: Or the hearing examiner or anybody else. Page 101 March 8, 2022 It's --you're the ones who direct what the process is. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: That's correct. So --it was --so we'll have that --without further discussion, we'll go forth and have an actual agenda item at our first meeting in April and make a decision then with all of the information provided to us. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: All right. So is Mr. Bellows -- MR. ISACKSON: I'm being told that Mr. Bellows is about 10 minutes out. So do you want to take a break for 10 mi~?

ISACKSON: Commissioners, you have a live mic. Item #15 STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yes, yes, yes. Go ~moon. We have one more item here, Commissioner Tayl~c'; y our --under 15, comments. (""-\ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Tha~~ry much for your patience and indulgence in this for everyo tay later. This is important because it happened last nigh~ 1s is --the first NIM meeting for the conversion of a golf~u ti,e to residential happened last night for the Rivera Golf com\wtty, and it was held at New Hope Church. I was there, a~~s Mr. Bellows there, and I'd like Mr. Bellows to come ~~relay what happened, please. MR. BELLOWS: ~~ record, Ray Bellows. I did attend the stakeholders outre a{) ~eting that was held for the conversion of the Rivera golf ccy..~· )'t was very well attended. Matter of fact, there was not eno~ 1"eats to accommodate all those who wanted to attend. And~e~se of that, we felt that there was an issue, and the applicant ~~e was an issue with occupancy of the building being exceeded. V So we tried to see if anyone --or the applicant asked if anyone wanted to leave and then we'd reschedule a follow-up meeting. Nobody wanted to leave, so they were forced to cancel the meeting. And we did get some conversations with Paula McMichael, who's representing the applicant, along with Rich Yovanovich, who's also representing the applicant. No commitments were made about whether this meeting counted towards their requirement of two Page 103 March 8, 2022 outreach meetings. We did have a follow-up conversation with Bob Mulhere this morning and told him we would be working with Mike Bosi and our attorney's office to finalize how we proceed. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So in your opinion, was it the neighbors that disrupted the meeting and caused the meeting to end, or was it the lack of planning? MR. BELLOWS: Well, my personal opinion is~ew that residents that live in the area. The room was to 1 to there was going to be opposition . They know th~ of ac~o~modate that. They should have gone ~ · ger forum, in my op1n1on. ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: T~~u . And so the way it was left, at least as expressed by the )lgo~y to me after this meeting, is that they are considering that~h · ~ting that never happened be considered one of two NIM me 1 required to be held during the season, which means these ds --let's just say for this conversation it's April, It · e 15th; it's Easter Sunday. That's when season is over. ight argue, well, season's really over the first of April. But )(ha interesting is that it's --the season began in November. ~ ~ CHAIRM cDANIEL: Well, I don't think --I mean, can it --can it ~~"'11'1,-v--ia s a NIM if they try to have it and don't have enough space or is t --is that --what's the process with regard to this? MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. Within our code , the SOM, it's the stakeholder outreach meetings , there's two meetings that are required before they can even submit an application to rezone their property. So it's required that they have two meetings with the community, and they're engaged for a community --for a conversation. They present an alternative design or a design that's going to be suggested in terms of how the Page 104 March 8, 2022 golf course is going to be re-purposed, and then the conversation starts with the community, and this is designed specifically to try to find areas of compromise. Last night I was not at the meeting but Ray and two of my other --Nancy Gundlach and Richard Henderlong, both of my staff, were at the meeting as well as Mr. French. And what it turns out is there was no discussion that happened with the community, so there was no real exchange amongst the applicant's team a~~ttendees, and it had everything to do with the lack of space t!i,t ~ within the facility. ~~ I plan to sit down with Mr. French, Mr. s, Ms. Ashton from Jeffs team, to discuss the repercussio ~ the specifics of whether this would satisfy the individu~~Jrrements, because we said March is the end of the window ;i! ~ortunity for when these stakeholder outreach meetings co-=1\..~pen. And we'll --and based up ~~t did and did not transpire, we'll make a determination with -~~he team, with the full team, say whether it did satisfy that · ement. But the intent of it is to have a conversation, and fr ~ 111 ack of conversation, I'm somewhat concerned that the ~noo f what the process was designed to fulfill was not, indeed, r;ri~d. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Agreed. 1...~w.,er Solis . -~-~- SIGNER SOLIS: Okay. So just so I can understand what happened, so this is falling under the golf course conversion ordinance that we adopted. MR. BOSI: Correct. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: And that --refreshing my memory, that --in that ordinance we required that there be two stakeholder information meetings. So these are not NIMs. MR. BOSI: No. Page 105 March 8, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Pardon me. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: The NIMs happen after an application. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'm sorry, yeah. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Right. Okay. No. I'm just trying to figure out the chronology. So --but it's required that they have two of these before they file their application. It's a prerequisite. ""'-"'-.> MR. BOSI: Two stakeholder outreach meetip~s~ an online visual preference survey that provides for oppo~~s for the public to --COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Right. -0 ~ MR. BOSI: --pick what they lik~~n't like within potential design ideas. \, , CHAIRMAN McDANIEL~· ~y the end of? MR. BOSI: All by the en arch. CHAIRMAN McDAN~ f March. COMMISSIONER~~ The end of March. MR. BOSI: Y es,OV CHAIRMAN Wc!J)\NIEL: All by the end of March. COMMISSI Wffi SOLIS: Okay. I mean, I know this is --we're kind ing by the seat of our pants here, but I don't see that there'W ssue. I mean, they either had a meeting and people got to say ~t they wanted to say or they didn't. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Period, the end. COMMISSIONER SOLIS: And it sounds like they didn't. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner, I'm with you. Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Ditto. Calling a meeting and having a meeting isn't the same thing. If they've had --they might have till the end of March, but what I'm hearing here is they wasted Page 106 March 8, 2022 quite a few months where they could have been having meetings and wouldn't --am I correct here? When could they have had this first meeting? November? December? January? February? MR. BOSI: November, December, January, February, March. Those are the five months in which --the window for a stakeholder outreach. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: That's not on the citizen. That's on, you know, this developer who's making a rt,..~-And I would also preface this by saying --because this R}~~?lf Estates was in my district, and Commissioner Taylor's, ]k~ you know, it was awesome how she's, you know, taken it ~d I've heard nothing but positive comments from the citi@~who said, you know, they've had correspondence with her. ~ '-' But nothing's been approved ye)-._~ ~you know, when we use words like, well, this is for the go2_,~se conversion. Well, it's a golf course conversion request. ~an, nothing's been approved. And so we've got to make s . ,~ommissioner Saunders, you know, he taught me this on day , ords matter. Right, sir? And so --but I'd ~~·~ at Commissioner Solis said, calling a meeting and not ha~g , e --and maybe they got, you know, overcome by citi iis ~d all that. But, you know what, when you do your homew -you know, I certainly know when I have a town hall meeti ' going to get 10 people or 500. And so --and if they waste veral months and now they're up against a time crunch, you know, that's not the citizens' fault. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Correct. Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Yeah, just real quickly. I mean, we set this up because it's very important to get citizen input into these --into this process on a golf course conversion. I don't consider that to be a meeting. And if I'm called to vote on a Page 107 March 8, 2022 petition --this is a message for the petitioner. If I'm called to vote on a petition that requires two public meetings like that , my view is it's an incomplete petition. And so, I know the County Attorney's probably stewing over there a little bit as to whether or not we have a --but that's --my position would be , I'm not going to entertain an application that requires two meetings where a meeting is called to order and, because there's so many people there, they cancel it. That's --1~ Commissioner Locastro said, that's not a meeting.~ '\ ~ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Right. ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank ~~' very much, all of you.
