COMMISS ER TAYLOR: No ex parte and, of course, the items contin re n what we have in front of us. CHAI McDANIEL: Yes, of course. COM IONER TAYLOR: No other ex parte. AMIRMAN McDANIEL: And no other adjustments? OMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No other adjustments. HAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: No adjustments to the agenda and no ex parte. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Very good. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Same for me, no ex parte and April 12, 2022 no adjustments or changes. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And myself as well, no adjustments or ex parte. We do have one public speaker on the consent agenda. MR. ISACKSON: Mr. Chairman, maybe I can go through agenda notes and changes also before you get to the public spv, if that's okay with you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I'm all right with that Thank you, sir. Good morning, by the way. �. MR. ISACKSON: Good morning to you. ornin Y g to the Board. Commissioners, we're going to suggest th em 9A, your RFMUD item, be continued to the April , 022, meeting. We're also going to suggest that Item 16C� b RoAued to the April 26th, 2022, meeting at Commissioner T 1'�, equest. And also at Commissioner Taylor's request, 'I continue Item 16F2 to the April 26th, 2022, meeting. n Some agenda notes '� Commissioners. Item 13A will be heard at 10:00. That's a entation of our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, and Item 2B, your special magistrate submittals, will be heard at •30. That's all I have, sir. CHAI cDANIEL: Okay. So with that, we do have one public sp e r on the consent agenda. MR. R: Yes Mr. Chair. Actually, I have a second speak ' tered but he said he only wanted to speak if it was pul our speaker is Aaron Zwifel on Item 16 C-1. R. ZWIFEL: Good morning, Commissioners. I'd like to request that Consent Item 16C 1 related to the sale of three properties or, excuse me, the three GAC properties be pulled from consideration and returned to the GAC Land Trust for a third -party appraisal. Based on research of the three parcels, there appears to be some April 12, 2022 discrepancies that need to be addressed. One, Parcel 1, which is a 3.92-acre lot with a contracted price of $455,000, yet there's comparable -- excuse me -- there are comparable lots, one of which is a 2.25-acre wooded lot which sold for -- sold November 12th in '21 for 455,000, and then another 2.73 lot which sold on 12/7/2021 500,000, both of which are prior to the March 22nd reapprais 1 Also, No. 2, there's a five -acre canal lot which is contr right now for $180,000 but recent sales of a 2.73 lot sol 0/2022 for 589- and then a 306 [sic] acre lot sold on 2/11 for . Again, both are which -- which are both prior to the Marc d appraisal date. VII.- Finally, Parcel 3, which are two 1.7-acre KtsTthat were contracted for $39,000. It's unclear whe these lots are being sold as a pair or whether it's one lot. T%e indicates that it's two lots, but both product -- or excuse perties have an appraised parcel number which is the same ey aren't contiguous. Also, comparable lots, es lly 1.14-acre lots, that were sold February 2022, one for $ and another for $478,000. So there seems to be enough discre cies here that we need to send that back to the GAC to have thev, get these things reappraised before we go out on a limb aAell them. Thank yu for your consideration. CHA McDANIEL: Anything else? MR. R: Well, Mr. Chairman, I think it would be -- with your t, I'd like to call the other name and see if he does want to s Michel Soodah, Soodah, Soodah. AIRMAN McDANIEL: Soodah. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Soodah. MR. SOODAH: Good morning, Commissioners. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Good morning. MR. SOODAH: You have a GAC program that's been on the April 12, 2022 books for years. I approached the staff to see what the procedure is to purchase these properties. They do their own appraisals. You pay a deposit. They give you the appraisal number. You agree to it. If you do, you move forward. If you don't, you don't. So we've been working with staff on this since September. The propertyz*,,,, been appraised twice since last September of 2021. And we followed every procedure that was requested for us to follo_ e had no influence over the property one way or the other we're here today. �• So thank you for your time. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You've a q ti o him? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: No. i n' know if it was out of order to see if the staff could come 5 the podium and would have anything to say because, I mean, hat he says. He doesn't set the appraisal. It's the Vo I was just curious if the staff felt like some other -- they i o their homework correctly or there's -- you know, prices ha nged. MR. ISACKSON: M A coming up -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: If this has merit. MR. ISACKSPN:..# Yeah. As Ed's coming up, let me just suggest to the BV d that the matter was reviewed by the GAC Land Trust a rov �e GAC Land Trust. We have a professional pp Y appraiser i ou Real Estate Services Department that we use u g �' re larl o�tns. So with that let me ask Ed to fill in around the cietaitVXW can. IRMAN McDANIEL: Just -- and, also, I spoke with the C f the GAC Land Trust this morning, Jell Curl. The process was followed. There were negotiations with the purchaser, an increase in price along the way over and above from what was originally negotiated. So I feel very comfortable that the process that was initiated was ultimately followed in order to go forward on Page 7 April 12, 2022 these transactions, so... MR. FINN: Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, Edward Finn, facilities management director. The Real Properties section falls under me. This item -- what's interesting about this item, the closure time for these transactions is supposed to be 120 days. Staff was pre ed to close on these in early February, the first meeting in Febru t for coordination with the Clerk where the Clerk asked for a e change in procedure. Instead of doing a resolution that ld allow the Chairman to sign off on these sales administrativ e Clerk approached us and asked that these items be prese dividually to the Board for a signature. So, accordingly, we would have closed w 1 120 days. But for that, this item would be behind us no , nd we wouldn't necessarily be dealing with it. Havlin at, these items were appraised. They were appraised ' a dance with the procedure that we've been following for man ars now. This program started with I,061 acres. It's down t re 41 acres. This is truly the back end of this -- this e cess. The properties were praised in March. The difference between the initial appriAisa and the March appraisal were fairly nominal. My professional appraisers feels that this is a reasonable -- onable sales amount consistent with the program. The progr i f requires at this point the sales price to be .� Destablished 0 percent of the appraised value. AN McDANIEL: Very good. Are you satisfied? MISSIONER LoCASTRO: Well, I think Commissioner Sa rs might have a question. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a quick question. Who does the appraisal? You indicated it's our professional appraiser. Who is that, and how is that appraiser -- is that a county employee or -- April 12, 2022 MR. FINN: Yes, sir. Leonard Roosevelt -- Roosevelt Leonard is the appraiser. He's been on staff here for many years, 15 or 20 years. He is an integral part of every land transaction we do whether it's buying or selling, and he is certified. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. Commissioner Lo: COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Mr. Finn, just to se to rumor from fact, or maybe just to clarify for us. I mear6 t ink the citizen that came forward you know, I mean dollarseollars. You can't dispute that. But for the sake of educat' ' us and even the people that are watching, when examples are e other properties of land, sometimes it's not apples to es. I mean, land is worth what somebody's willing to pay faiet. So oftentimes things sell for well above what they're actual because somebody wants it. It's on a different parcel rent strip. You know, hearing what th It en said about other parcels of sort of equal or similar size se or much more -- you know, this is your area of expertise, t 4, why we've got you at the podium. How would you respond t at? Are those parcels different in, you know, more valuable areas, or they were probably purchased by, you know, a persona rty that didn't mind paying more for it because they wanted s e reason? Can you give us a little of the back story so we kn exactly what we're talking about here or no? MR. : Happy to do it. The first thing I'll say is my area of ex eems to be growing every day, and I appreciate the c nxe. 'NOUMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: You're not getting a raise or anything. MR. FINN: No, sir. I don't anticipate a raise after today, no. The fact is that in the appraisal business it's a pretty complicated business. Their responsibility is to come up with a fair price, fair to April 12, 2022 both the buyer, the seller, and, largely speaking, the bank, if you will, that's going to lend money on the property. So an appraiser is always going to find a ground that they're comfortable with from all perspectives. Some of the examples that are cited may or may not have been closed sales; they may or ma not have been completely comparable; they may or may not been arm's-length transactions. There's a number of factor . T e lot that was mentioned that's a split lot, it's actually two lots that are separated by an intervening lot. When this transacti onducted, there will only be one of those strip lots. They're , 1.17-acre lots. Only one of them will be conveyed for e -- for the sale price we're talking about. So, essentially, that - or some reason, we have a lot that's under a single parcel nu i r that is split by an intervening property, but that will b� c once the sale is made. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: d ' ;ssioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOA Vd like to hear from our chair -- chairman about this.epraisals when we buy something, we have to get two appraisa when we, as a county, buys a property. In this c what I'm understanding is that when we go to sell and market it, we ave an in-house appraiser that establishes the p�•i is that correct? MR. F • %s> ma'am that's the way the procedure currently -- cu tly follows. What' resting about this program, unlike a typical bid prog combination of the agreement we have with GAC as w,t117N ordinance that covers that, is this program is different in ti;V sale price is established at 100 percent of the appraised value as opposed to a bid that may be higher or frequently lower than the appraised -- appraised value. So in that way, this program actually protects us against a low -bid situation where we find ourselves in a position of having to take a low bid even if the appraised value is Page 10 April 12, 2022 higher. So I mention that because it's a little nuance to this program that's a little different than a typical bid situation. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Especially in this day where the transaction of property is the business that we're doing in Collier County, and it is usually -- the purchase is usually obtained b highest price. So that's our conundrum here. So I'm goin turn to our chair, whose district this is, to get his opinion. I' o ing one, but I'm going to reserve my thoughts until I hear you, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, I express opinion at the beginning, and that is, I spoke with the ch allof the land trust. I spoke with our staff with regard to this transa ti n. I feel comfortable that the process that is establ' ed or all of the disposition of the assets of the GACL t wasn't violated, wasn't adjusted, wasn't maneuver iway, shape, or form. There was a twist with the Clerk b n ing these things forward. Traditionally, these transactio taken care of almost administratively. I agree with Commis er LoCastro. And, again, I'm not practicing real estate ev.*ry single day like I used to since 1984, but I can guarantee y ou bring in three appraisers, and you'll have three opinion o va e. Now, wi uggest and share a secret that is out -- will be out here in a se when I say it. And when I spoke with Jeff this mo -- ecause I did receive an email from somebody -- I can't re b necessarily who -- that suggested maybe we put the ba of the properties that are not on the block today to be sold, putt em up in an auction format. And I like that idea. And I talked to Jeff about that and asked that he reconvene the committee and have a public discussion. I mean, these transactions are all done in the Sunshine. Page 11 April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Of course. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: There is -- there were members of the public that were there when the original offers came through. There were members of -- there were people on the committee that serve on the GAC Land Trust that actually were on their phones ascertaining the values and so ons and so forth. lz� So with these transactions, I feel comfortable that the ess was sufficient to warrant moving forward on this partic genda item, as has been recommended by our staff. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. _^ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So there yo*,jre'V.TYiank you. MR. FINN: Thank you, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yep. wi that, I'm going to call for an approval of today's agenda ed.

ISACKSON: Commissioners, Proclamation 4E designates April 2022 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Collier County. To be accepted by Eileen Wesley, CEO, Project Help, Incorporated. Page 22 April 12, 2022 (Applause.) MS. WESLEY: Well, good morning, and thank you so much, Commissioners, for always hearing about our mission and supporting our mission and understanding our mission. And to everybody in the room, my name is Eileen Wesley. I'm the chief executive o er of Project Help, which is the Rape Recovery and Victim Servid Center. We have been in Collier County since 1986 serving all victims of crime, but this month, in particular, is Sexual.�ault Awareness Month, and we celebrate the hard work that we do. We celebrate our law enforcement. We celebrate our,FSV Attorneys Office to bring justice for someone who has h s t ing terrible happen to them in their lives. At Project Help, we've an in-house f nsic facility where, when a sexual assault occurs in Collier Cgu enforcement or the victim themselves can call our hell�li d bring the victim, or the victim comes in for a forensic exaAnd if you don't know what a forensic exam is, it is a collec ' evidence to help law enforcement procure DN entifying the perpetrator of the sexual assault. We offer vices to someone who has been recently sexually assaulted or has had sexual violence affect them in their lifetime. So it's n on time current type of a crime that we serve. We serve a lif im trauma that know some has occurred [sic], whether it's today o ears ago, it doesn't matter. We want to help our comry d with the support of our County Commissioners and our law en ment and our local supporters, we're able to serve almost 300 new clients every month in our facility. I'm very proud. Those are part -- my staff is all up front, and each one of them work diligently to help people who are going through traumatic events. Right now we have a -- just recently placed an advocate in the Page 23 April 12, 2022 state -- in the Naples Police Department so they can actually go out on scene with them, and we're extremely proud of that. We do the sudden -death notification for Naples Police Department as well as sexual violence and other crimes. For Collier County, meaning Marco, Naples, Naples City, Golden Gate, Golden Gate Estates, we're everybody's sexual advocate from the ages of 12 and up. We work very close l it the children's advocacy center to make sure that all people n age get the services that they need. So I want to thank you so much for this honfnsexual o be able to stand up here and bring to our community the of sexual violence and how we should all work together violence. So thank you very much. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Beef go away -- don't go away. I've -- I have a couple of c s up here, so... Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SA S: For me this is sort of like dej a vu all over again. will date me, but I remember Beth Canacky back in 1986 wh his organization was getting started, and I've got a photogra h on my wall in the office with then Governor Lawton Chiles, he's signing a bill. That was the first bill I ever filed in the le s atu was a bill -- back in those days, a victim of rape show' t the hospital had to pay $25 for the rape kit, which was outrag ecause that's the collection of evidence, and no one pays f a deputy comes to your house, you've been robbed, a ake fingerprints, they don't charge you for taking the fin rints and stuff like that. So this was just the beginning of a long process to eliminate a lot of the discrimination against women that were victims of rape. So that was my very first bill, and it's a pleasure to see you this morning. I think I was on your -- Page 24 April 12, 2022 MS. WESLEY: You were on our board. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: For, like, 20 years or so. No one would let me get off the board. MS. WESLEY: Yep. We'd like you back. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Well, that's one of the reasons why I brought this up is I'm volunteering to be back if still need that. (Applause.) O COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'd be happy 4that. But it's a great organization, and it's wonderful to see y re today. MS. WESLEY: Good to see you, too* u a ways been a big supporter of ours. We had a big 30th anni e a when Project Help became 30, and Commissioner Sau rs came and celebrated with us over at Raymond James' kitch r ething James kitchen center, and we had a really nice eNAent, it was really great to see you there, one of our original boar rJmbers. So we're really excited about that. A� ; CHAIRMAN McDAtVZ Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER L*ASTRO: Man, Commissioner Saunders is really dating himself. 1986? For the students in the audience, that w efore the Internet, cell phones. It goes way back. I thin as our at the time. COM,tjI NER SAUNDERS: Just so everyone understand as 13 years old. SSIONER LoCASTRO: No, what I did want to say, fir , congratulations but, more importantly, thank you. But I di e ly want to make this statement for whoever's in the room and whoever's watching. On social media I've seen every once in a while when we have these meeting and we give out proclamations, you get a few people that chime in and say, oh, what a waste of time and, oh, those stupid commissioners, and, oh, they just give out Page 25 April 12, 2022 awards to a bunch of folks. That's not what's happening here. You actually summed it up, you know, perfectly, Eileen, by saying, it's about bringing awareness to important things that are happening in the community. I don't think the big thing we did today was give you a piece of paper in very inexpensive taxpayer frame. What we did was gave yo se platform but, more importantly, recognized great work that r organization and everybody that were here that recogni So it really disappoints me when I see folks chi , and it's usually on the Collier County Instagram page whe post all these photos, and then, you know, some of us n and say, great job, so proud of you, it was a great day. And e percent of the comments are great. But I'm also so dis ointed when a citizen doesn't, sort of, get it. ;� This wasn't an awards cerem4: was highlighting an organization that maybe a lot of don't know about but does amazingwork eve day and tis so man lives. So you know, every y Y � whether it's you or St. M tthew's House or Wounded Warriors or, you know, our Sheriffs O*e, we're not giving out awards here. This isn't the Oscars. Tihis is about us putting a -- shining a light on an organization t does amazing things every day that maybe people -- the ag person doesn't know about. So ev n i ew people on Instagram say, wow, I never heard of that organi , neat, and it drives one volunteer, maybe, to your organization or, maybe more importantly, somebody that needs your support, then -- you know, then we've done our job here. And, you know, I would say to those people that are also watching and think this is all we do, stay tuned, because for the next 10 hours, we're going to actually be doing -- you know, continuing to do the work of the county. So this wasn't it. We don't all go home after the frames are passed out. Page 26 April 12, 2022 But thank you so much for what you do, whether you're being recognized or not, and I think we would all agree we would say the same thing to all the other organizations that come here. It's not a photo op. It's not a piece of paper in a frame. It's about thanking you and spotlighting the amazing work you do in our communit d how important and required it is. And if not you, who woul doing it, right? MS. WESLEY: Right. 0 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: So thank yo Much. MS. WESLEY: Thank you. I appreciate th (Applause.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: One last thi I you haven't had an opportunity, go visit their facilities, go et with the staff, talk to them about what they do do all day �v and the assistance that they do, in fact, provide to our co , so -- and that's my little accolade. Thank you. MS. WESLEY: I thank You've always been a huge supporter of ours. CHAIRMAN McDA L: Yes, ma'am. MS. WESLEY: I rea ly appreciate you. Can I mention one last thing? CHAI `,DANIEL: Sure. MS. E Y: April 27th at Baker Park we're holding an event 4XI,RMAN McDANIEL: Stay on the microphone, please. 3yWESLEY: We're holding an event on April 27th at Baker Pa arting at 5:00 honoring all victims of crime. It's National Crime Victims' Rights Week, so we have picked April 27th to honor. We have the chief from Marco and Naples and the Sheriff are coming to speak, and our big emcee of the evening is Rich Montecalvo from the State Attorney's Office. And I would love to invite the whole Page 27 April 12, 2022 audience. It's going to be a really nice event. We have face painting. We have kindness rock making. We have just unity, you know, and that's what we're all about is it takes a village to heal an individual who's been harmed, and this is one of the ways we want to help start that healing process. So, thank you, again. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Ms. Eileen. 4n you very much. Thank you, all.

THE A A WAS ACCEPTED BY JONATHAN FOERSTER, CHIE ECUTIVE OFFICER. ALSO PRESENT IS BETHANY S R, VICE PRESIDENT OF MEMBERSHIP, THE G NAPLES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE — PRESE D I MR. ISAC ON: Commissioners, Item 5, 5A is a presentation of the Collier un Business of the Month for April 2022 to Golisano it 's Museum of Naples. The award to be accepted by Jonatha rster, chief executive officer. Also present is Beth yer, vice president of membership of the Greater Naples Chn f Commerce, and I see Mike Dalby also sneaking in. He's nev n my -- never on my list here, but -- who is your CEO of the Nap es Chamber of Commerce. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Do you want to say anything? MR. FOERSTER: Yes, if you've got a second. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I do. I April 12, 2022 MR. FOERSTER: Thank you, everybody. John Foerster. I'm the CEO of the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples for about eight weeks now, so I'm still getting my feet wet a little bit. I just want to say thank you on behalf of our team, our board, our volunteers, and our -- most importantly, our participants, the people that come there to the county for their long-time partn with the museum. As you know, we wouldn't be where we are, literal 'thout you. And so we're grateful for that partnership tAbe f North Collier Regional Park, to be another asset in the city for the children. You know, people think of Southwest Flo as a place for retirees and people who maybe wouldn't lr8e a lot of use for a children's museum. Ten years agony -- or 11-ish years ago you guys took a risk with us and s know what, this is a needed thing. We've been open f years now, and we've had 1.2 million people through ou S. So I think it proves e are a lot of children and families in our community that are to *ng for outlets for educational play, looking to just have a great time together, build those bonds, strengthen those,nds of family. We're a place where parents and kids play tog R r without their screens, without their phones. They learn thro h rimentation and through just really being together as a unit. ,you know, I think in our time, we want to promote stron es. The children's museum is a place that promotes st ilies. And so I really am just grateful for your support, for th re community's support, and thank you so much. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Jonathan. Appreciate you coming today. MR. FOERSTER: Of course. Thank you. (Applause.) Page 29 April 12, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Now, before we move on to the balance of our business, I'm going to call for a motion for the acceptance of the proclamations presented today.

S MS. TRICCA: Michelle Tricca. I'm a port otographer here in Naples, and this work is an exhibit. I ' - x use me -- a selection of work from my Florida Cowboys p j ct, which I photographed in early 2020 just about qu tine. I documented a crew of cowboys girls during marking and branding season at Half Circl a ch in Immokalee. Last year, Florida celebrate Oth year of being American's first cattle and cowboy state. 21, Juan Ponce DeLeon brought cattle to Florida. Florida sh aintains a vibrant and prolific ranching cultural which, u*rtunately, gets overshadowed by Mickey Mouse, golf, and commercialized beach vacations. In honor o is anniversary, I had an exhibition of this work at Mercado last e r. It was amazing how many people said things like, wher are se photographs from; Texas? As our state undergoes eriod of heavy development, it's important to respect and r er Florida's original way of life. That juicy steak you enj for dinner, thank a cowboy, though cowboy life goes depths bey4 d galloping on a horse and wrangling cattle. They're also stewards of the land. I have business cards back there. If anyone wants to talk about the work, you are welcome to contact me at any time. Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Thank you, Michelle. It's some Page 31 April 12, 2022 fine -- some fine photography, by the way. And, folks, if you have a moment, please take some time during one of our breaks and go peruse. MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, I'm looking at the clock. Maybe we can squeeze maybe 1 OB in there before our time-certa S., IOB is a recommendation to appoint two commissioners -- l�+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Before we go, do we have'a%y petitions -- or public speakers on items not on today's a Qda? MR. MILLER: Yes, sir, we have three. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. MR. ISACKSON: Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: We have -- a s t ree minutes. That's 10 minutes. That will take us to 1 fte . So let's go ahead and do those first, and then we'll -- in - s, that's what we'll do first. MR. MILLER: Yes, sir. a first speaker is Nancy Lewis, and she will be followed by B anter. MS. LEWIS: Good m Ong. CHAIRMAN McDAA�EL: Good morning. MS. LEWIS: Copimissioner McDaniel, other commissioners, for the record, ame is Nancy Lewis, and I am a resident of North Naples Distri This o , I would like to make a statement in favor of housin th ffordable for those workers and employees who mak 50,000 a year. This needs to be addressed because t ers simply cannot afford to pay 2- to $3,000 a month. elieve the Board of County Commissioners might find it instructive to listen to a few moments from last week's Planning Commission meeting during their Housing 101 discussion with Jacob LaRow. (A video was played as follows:) Page 32 April 12, 2022 CHAIRMAN FRYER: Unfortunately, it's so easy for developers to circumvent any requirements that -- all it is is a right of first refusal. And if you make the right of first refusal at market rates and you hold it off for 30 or 45 days, that's your only penalty that you held it off the market, and that is not going to help necessarily -- COMMISSIONER FRY: That's not affordable housing,� CHAIRMAN FRYER: No, it's not. It's really illusory. (The video concluded.) MS. LEWIS: Thank you. The ordinance being referred to in that d' R nas Allura. In an excerpt from the Naples Daily News arti e�:egarding the unanimous approval of Allura, it stated, te, it has to stay available until you find someone, unquote, said vanovich, land -use attorney who represents the devel Affordable housing is an ill o in Collier County. Projects like Allura, Bristol Pines, Co o e Shadows, and others are illusory. These developmen ere given bonus densities and other exemptions, but they are n,enforceable. The ordinances were written by the developeiis land -use attorney without penalty. The illusion of provikdV affordable housing but, in effect, giving developers si�Lf lilca density needs to stop. MR. ER: Your next speaker is Bebe Kanter. She will be follo lizabeth Raddy. KANTER: Hi, my name is Bebe Kanter. I live at 5960 Pe ' Bay Boulevard, 34108. I'm here to speak about two things. One, I guess, has been off the agenda, and I just wanted to say that I think that a vote of confidence that the Board is committed to affordable housing and making life easier for the workers would be to, when it comes up, Page 33 April 12, 2022 unanimously approve advanced notice of rent increases for monthly renters. It really -- it will give people a lot of comfort and doesn't really change what's going to happen. So that's A, because I think that the landlords can fill their apartments if people decide they `on't want to stay. And number two is, I think it's No. 9 on the agenda. Th izw! a -- I don't really understand it, so I'm going to stay and ma make another comment. But I am -- I have publicized all ov I'm in favor of increased densities for affordable housing; h er, I see there's a little thing that says it's also going to hap the rural land districts, and so I'm going to ask that is remo u e you don't have to put it all in one place. Just do where - ould say, east -- west of Collier is as far as the resi tial land uses should go. So everybody, I think when you get.to cussion -- have you seen that it says rural land uses, to% that shouldn't be in there, because then we're into panther ter*t And I just saw the ordinance today, so I may be t en. Maybe the lawyer could address that. CHAIRMAN McDA L: We don't address questions -- MS. KANTER: Oh, I know, but maybe you guys could discuss it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: If you wish to have an answer to a question, nd_N an email, and I'll be happy to, but this is not the format for coning of our staff. NITER: I understand that. Maybe you guys could ask ai,1tfT%r that during -- nobody ever answers me, by the way. i nanK-you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I will if you send me an email. MS. KANTER: Okay. MR. MILLER: Mr. Chair, your final registered speaker for this item is online, Elizabeth Raddy. Page 34 April 12, 2022 Elizabeth, you're being prompted to unmute yourself. If you'll do so at this time. I see you're there, Elizabeth. You have three minutes. MS. RADDY: Thank you. Hi. Am I on? Because it just went black on me. MR. MILLER: Yeah, you're on. MS. RADDY: All right. Sorry. Thank you for your time. I just wanted to mentioe , there was something that I thought was going to be on the^ a but was not. But on March 25th of 2022, Miami -Dade C BCC passed a new ordinance that requires landlords to give i is tenants at least 60 days written notice when increasing re t y more than 5 percent, terminating non -lease renewals d month to month. There's a lot that protects a landlo ery little that protects a tenant. Landlords have the upper h0 and, in their own way, eliminating one's right to a home l freely raising the rent with full knowledge that their tenants cA ord it and, in most cases, nowhere to go. The least our county mandate is time for those who are already suffering a d paling the ultimate price for this crisis. We hear a lot about t caps and 60-day notices that would adversely affect landlor s, bu et they aren't the ones that are losing jobs, leaving th 'r s ls, and losing their communities. They can -- they o longer just move to Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehi same problems are there, too. These people are ha �terally to relocate out of state. seeing it all over our feed where landlords are giving 14 days notice, maybe 30 days' notice. When you're having to come up with triple the amount, first, last, security of a four -- 3- or $4,000 rental or you're having to prove that you make three times the monthly income to -- for a 3- or $4,000 home or apartment, it's Page 35 April 12, 2022 becoming almost impossible. People are having to try and figure out and scramble. They're ending up on people's couches, ending up just homeless, and it's becoming, like, tragic at this point. We have the ability here, like other counties have done, to e them a little bit of reprieve, to help our tenants. It's just som that really needs to be done. Most leases will require you t 've 60 days' notice. So there is absolutely no reason why we Oequire landlords to do the same. It's mutual respect. It is -- I've seen on news feeds and different f here people just -- these landlords, we can't leave it up to c oose to do the right thing because many of them don't. I am a k 1 and blessed that my place that I live allows me to -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Wha ame? MS. RADDY: -- give me a-datnotice. MR. MILLER: Elizabeth. CHAIRMAN McDANI lizabeth, thank you. You're not privy to the clock that's goi' , but your three minutes are over. Thank you for your commofs. MS. RADDY• Oh►, yeah. (Unintelligible) sorry. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Yes, ma'am. Item #7 �r PUMENTS ON GENERAL TOPICS NOT ON THE C TOR FUTURE AGENDA 'MR. MILLER: And that was your final public speaker under Item 7, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. Commissioner Saunders, you have a comment? Question? Page 36 April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Two questions for the County Attorney. First in reference to the comment by Nancy Lewis in terms of the affordable housing requirements being illusory. I know that at one point in time there was an issue with that, and I think we changed things, and I just need clarification, that those affordable housing units have to be held out as affordable for I , a 30-year period. But can you address that issue? MR. KLATZKOW: It depends when they went thrQi h the system. A common feature of the program is that they have to hold the apartment open for, let's say, 90 days, and if th n't find an applicant in 90 days, then they're free to rent n d else. But most of those you're not getting a discount -- a i counted rate. Most of them are set up to give preferenc o iremen, sheriffs, nursing, and that type. As far as the ones that are -- *hire ou bifurcate the residence so it's, like, 10 percent affordable lasing units, those are affordable housing units. Now, whethe t they're being used that way, that's an enforcement issue aff. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: : That would be a code violation if the uni s -- MR. KLA OW: Yes. COMM O R SAUNDERS: --additional density was provided. MR. ZKOW: Yes. But we don't knock on doors asking tena uch they're paying for what they're doing or what have y MMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So it's an enforcement issue that we may have to take up at some point, then. But the point is that on those houses or those projects where additional density is provided, the affordability is not an illusion, but there's a requirement that it be held that way for the duration of that time period? Page 37 April 12, 2022 MR. KLATZKOW: Yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. Because I wanted to make sure if that wasn't the case, that we need to fix that problem. MR. KLATZKOW: No, that's not the issue. The issue may be enforcement, but -- what was spoken about is not the issue. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: All right. Second q In reference to notice to tenants, I think that's probably a g ea. Now, Dade County is a special county. They're set up ' h Constitution, so they have certain powers that other c 'es, whether they're charter counties or not -- not charter counti 't have that same type of authority. Do we have the abili o nder Florida ow law to require certain provisions in a landlord/ n nt agreement? I don't expect an answer now. MR. KLATZKOW: I can give y nswer, because I've looked into it. Yes, we could ad e iami-Dade model if the Board is so inclined. I've spoken i staff about that. The concern we have is how do you enforc I don't know -- bringing a landlord into the Code E ent Board saying that you were supposed to give 60 days' ice, your tenant said you only gave a 40-day notice, and -- wgll, really didn't -- I don't know how you do that. But other tl'�an the enforcement, yes. COMM ONER SAUNDERS: Notice would have to be in writing, s the ould have to be a record of it. MR. ZKOW: Sir, I concur. We can do it. The issue is, how oing to enforce it? MISSIONER SAUNDERS: Understood. So I'd like to ha e Commission -- if the Commission's agreeable, to at least have the County Attorney take a look at that issue, because I think it's reasonable. If you're in an apartment barely making it and on, you know, two days before your next rent payment -- your last rent payment is -- they notify you that it's going to be a thousand -dollar I 1 • April 12, 2022 increase, then you're really left out in the cold, so... MR. KLATZKOW: I can advertise and bring back our ordinance for your next meeting if you want. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a question of whether the Board would be interested in considering something like that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Give a look at it.lz� COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Can I say somethSan MR. KLATZKOW: What the ordinance says is tlwdlord has to give 60 days' notice in advance of any rental increase over a certain percentage. Let's say it's 5 percent. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS : Iwo s e t that we not advertise anything but come back on an agend it m with an ordinance that does that, and then we can cide whether we want to advertise it. MR. KLATZKOW: I will b ' �b k the Miami -Dade ordinance. CHAIRMAN McDANI 's an executive summary in conjunction with an adju �i t Ito our LDC as our normal process. MR. KLATZKOWSNot an LDC issue. It would be ap lain ordinary ordinance. I'obe happy to bring it. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Commissioner LoCastro and then Commission ay CO I NER LoCASTRO: Okay. Let me just separate rumor fro for everyone and catch everyone up. onday we had our last Affordable Housing Advisory Commi e meeting, and several of the homework assignments that have been talked about in this room are already in play. So it was brought up about what happened in Miami -Dade and Jake LaRow, who obviously heads our Housing Department and does a great job, took that as a homework assignment -- maybe that's why there's already been conversations with the County Attorney -- and he owes Page 39 April 12, 2022 us back a presentation or recommendation or, you know, all of the above on how that could be done. As far as the apartment complexes, it's an issue that we've talked about at our last couple of meetings, because it's a big one and, actually, it could uncover a really big problem. The first thing I'll say is every contract that was approve �t is board over many -- over the last something years are all di) Some had affordable housing, you know, with a 20 perc 10 percentage, 30 percent, some of them talked about fir ponders and teachers, others talked about AMI and how it affect rent. So they were all a little bit different. They're a ' tl bit of a different flavor because each housing complex 's little bit different. What I asked as the commissioner c at a couple of Affordable Housing Advisory ComTi tings ago was what do we do in the county to make sure '4 lopers that got that benefit, the increased density by promisin t y would have an affordable housing piece -- and, like I sa' y of them are different flavors and colors -- how do we hat? Jake and his team said they periodically call these de pments, but the more they sort of explained how the didit, t e feedback from the board and the civilian board bers and even some of the citizens in the audience was, that ma t b he best way to do it, because even as one of our senior staf sai hen we call, her exact quote was, these apartment complexes caller ID, they know it's the county calling. So usua swer they get is, yep, we have affordable units; it's full of 1 ters and that sort of thing. what we've done -- if you remember, there was a young lady here, a single mom, Louisa Rodriguez, who has spoken very eloquently about affordable housing, and she or one of her team have attended all of our affordable advisory committee meetings in the last month. We gave her a spreadsheet of all of the units and boldfaced April 12, 2022 all of the ones that are supposed to have an affordable piece, and she and a group of parents she's put together have been basically doing secret shopper calls. Hi, I'm Jane, and I'm a single mom, and I make $40,000 a year, and I heard I should be able to get an apartment here. Well, they're all full. Okay. They're all full with doctors, nurses, teachers, an dishwashers? Okay, great. If they weren't full, how muc u d the rent be? And just sort of quizzing them. The last i exchange I saw between her and Jake is she's made sI, rogress. She's uncovered a few things that she wants to bri ur attention. And I believe at the next meeting she's going i s a full report. I've heard bits and pieces. WINK News V ed Allura and, you know, made it a headline -- or maybe it w Naples Daily News, I'm sorry, and I also did an interview with d said, yeah, you may or may not have found the one ap , but we need to make sure we're casting a much wider net. So a lot of what's talked in here I do believe has merit, but we aren't oblivious to it. right now this is a hot topic, so everybody's become an e or this is everybody's hot -- number -one topics ou know, I've said before, it should have been maybe our ber-one topic for a while, but that's here nor there. But t r all is we are doing a lot of aggressive things, and we will haSe q 4 a bit to report. If ou��i�r tuber, two g meetings ago we tasked the Affordable Hou ' dvisory Committee to have a special session with us, not a w , so that we could take action on a bunch of things. And I'1 remind the crowd it was just a couple of commissioner meetings ago where we voted and approved quite a few things that expanded the aperture of eligibility for more people. We took a program that was going to be launched, I think, at the end of April, we pulled it forward immediately. And so we've done quite a bit of Page 41 April 12, 2022 things that we are able to control. There's quite a bit that we can't because it's either dictated by the state or, as Commissioner Saunders said, sometimes there's things that happen in other counties that they operate a much different way, and that's what Jake and his team is figuring out now, and then we will have quite a bit to report. And trust me, if there's some housing unit that had to hav(v affordable units in perpetuity or for 20 years or 30 years an&we confirm that they haven't done that, then there's -- there's Qenty of things on the county that we can take action on, you know, concerning violations and things like that. So theft' ite a bit in play. This isn't new news, and nothing that's en i today is not in motion. So more to follow. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Quick stion. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRQ: e 'r. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: your next AHAC meeting? COMMISSIONER LoCAST We have them once a month. Jake has been -- CHAIRMAN McDA-1*I0L� When is the next AHAC meeting? COMMISSIONER L ASTRO: Yeah. I'd have to look at my calendar and see -- so first Monday of every month so -- to give you an exact date. we're not waiting for that meeting. Jake, I think, sent some of - ybe all of us on the housing advisory committee he en sending us periodic one-way communication updates tha e been very informative. So, I mean, we're not just once t addressing this issue. IRMAN McDANIEL: Well, where I was going is there's m formation coming from the citizenry group that you've assembled to go out and do the check and double-check to make sure that the units that we've approved are being held in an affordable status for an appropriate period of time. Commissioner Saunders, you know, the County Attorney alleged that he could have something Page 42 April 12, 2022 to us at our next meeting. I was thinking maybe it would be more fortuitous if we moved it to our first meeting in May. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: That's fine. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And that will allow for this re ort to come to the AHAC, and the AHAC can maybe even be part o at with that report so we can have some truths with regard to the �+ representations that are being made, if that's okay. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Sure, absoluteZ-0 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Ta COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: With your i ce, I'd like Kristi Sonntag to come forward. I've had so c e sations with her regarding the accountability of the develop r, n it's -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Can I e a suggestion that we not do that right now and just allow it -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR , just -- I would like to just tell you what we're doing. I thi 't important given the testimony of Ms. Davis [sic]. The issue, as I underrsftA s not that these apartments are rented but who's in it, and that is a question of auditing. And so I'm working with Graystone, which is the largest apartment rental company in the 'ted States of America, with a lady called Linda Matta who h sy m whereby they do audit these kind of issues, and I've al o to d to the Clerk who is willing to back up the audit. So I think moving in a situation where we can, before the place is re rify what this renter's qualifications are for affordable ham. t there's one thing I did want to speak to you. You men Toned in our conversation that if we find that a developer is not abiding by the rules or the -- it's really the management company. It's not the developer. What is the -- what is the -- what can be done? I think you mentioned the magistrate. Page 43 April 12, 2022 MS. SONNTAG: For the record, Kristi Sonntag, Community and Human Services director. The affordable housing density bonus program does have a 30-year commitment. You all approved that back in, I believe, 2019 for that to be a 30-year period. In addition, when we do monitor those properties, in the does specify that there can be a Code Enforcement Board a and a fine of $50 per day for noncompliance. So the Comy a and Human Service Subdivision does do annual monitoring f any commitments that happen. In addition, staff do o reviews of client file review. So, for instance, when All o en, our staff will be out there to audit to ensure that those f w o are at the appropriate income range, those units are to to them and they income -qualified them. COMMISSIONER TAYLO C, k you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: nk you. Commissioner LoCastro COMMISSIONER L-QC 9 RO: Ms. Sonntag, alls I wanted to just echo -- and so it's great teat commissioners are doing their own discussions with �Sllk and investigations and whatnot, and that's fine. Nobodyneeds to ermission. p Alls I would just clarify is, make sure you're funneling it back to the one co mi that is responsible for actually doing this so we don't have, now, a duplication of efforts or, you know, little side' s going on. And I know you'll do that. Zo"So 1what I just heard here I didn't hear at Monday's meeting that th e vkas some conversation. So anything you can do to funnel back the good work by any commissioner up here to the committee that actually will make the recommendations and come to this meeting. Because we have a lot of homework assignments on the plate from meeting this past Monday that 99 percent of the people in this room April 12, 2022 weren't at. So let's make sure, you know -- and like I said, I know I'm preaching to the choir, but a lot of new things discussed here. That's the meeting where we're going to get one decision, one voice -- or one voice, one message, and then come here to the body that can actually take some action. So I appreciate the work you're doing. I've seen a lot of the one-way communications between our board members, between you and Jake. And so things are methhe in a very aggressive direction by help from everybody. end, the funnel is our committee. So thank you. MS. SONNTAG: Thank you. 1z V MR. MILLER: That's it, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. ow we're going to do 1 OB. MR. ISACKSON: Well, w ci we go to your time -certain at 10:00, sir? CHAIRMAN McDANIU kay. Let's do the time -certain. MR. ISACKSON: lW is 13A. CHAIRMAN Mc6A L: I was going to make Derek wait, but — Item # 13 A A,' PRESENT N OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FIN REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED S� ER 30, 2021 -MOTION TO APPROVE THE CAFR AS P S NTED —APPROVED MR. ISACKSON: It's a presentation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for FY2021. MR. JOHNSSEN: Good morning, Commissioners. Derek Page 45 April 12, 2022 Johnssen, finance director for the Clerk and Comptroller's Office. This morning we're pleased to present to you the FY2021 countywide audit. This document is a consolidated report that contains audit results for the Board and all five constitutional officers. This report is a result of many hours of effort on the pats a of the Clerk and Manager's staff. We also very much appreciate the support we get fronir administration, the budget office, county grant staff, Pu atilities, and the County Attorney and other constitutional offi I've left a few folks out, I know, but in the int of brevity. Really, all departments are represented in this o a d we actually still do make a paper copy occasionally. The county received an unmodified it opinion, which is the best result that we could get. With m o summarize the results of the 2021 audit is Mr. Kessler Nth your audit firm, Clifton, Larson, Allen. We'll, of course �ailable to answer any questions afterwards. Thank you. MR. KESSLER: T you, Derek. Good morning, Commissioners. Is there a clicker? Thank you, sir. And I'll rie ere. As Derek said, my name's Chris Kessler. I'm a prin * al ' h CLA. I serve as the audit partner on your account an here to talk about the results of the September 30th, 2021, . al statement audit. e we go. So as Derek said, it was an unmodified opinion on financial statement, so that means, the scope of our work included the financial statements, which is the county's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended September 30, 2021, as well as state compliance over the county compliance over public funds that are invested as well as the e911 operations. So April 12, 2022 both of those were clean, unmodified opinions. The reports that we've delivered I have summarized here. I'll spare reading all these names of the reports, but they're no different than the years past. These are the reports that are required both by government auditing standards and the Florida Auditor General your all's compliance. So just quickly highlighting the results of the procedurs Derek said, it was an unmodified opinion, so that's the ' ee t level of opinion that you -all can have. There was a new a"o ting standard that was implemented this year that we d out in our opinion, but it does not impact anything withi u i ion. It was still unmodified, but we do call it out because i _ as significant. Your independent auditor's reporter ' rndl control had no findings, your management letter had . gs, and your independent accountant's report o pliance had no findings. So clean across the board. The one thing I'll highli e is in your management letter the state did require additio ation be included about the county's special districts. ' informational. It's unaudited, but you'll see that that letterwent from about four pages in years past to about eight or n' because of that information that had to be included. One 1 st n on here, the single audit, which is the audit over the federal tate grants compliance, is not part of what we're repo �*�elayed n.' I do want to mention that because OMB at the federal le some of the rules that we are responsible for using w e perform our audit procedures. They delayed it because of all o the pandemic funds that were out there. So things are a little later in the process than where they have been in years past, but that's in progress now. So that has no impact on county reporting, compliance, anything along those lines, and that will be done in the Page 47 April 12, 2022 next month or so. So just some required communications to you all as governance of the county. Scope and timing proceeded as planned. The significant accounting policies were in accordance with industry standards and practices, and we had no difficulties encountered z performing the audit. I se So I do want to say thank you to everyone in all the co- z� departments as well as the Clerk's Office for all of the h la getting this document done as well as getting our audit proce done. We ask for a lot of information every single nd it is a big effort not just to pull the document together b o s everything we need to audit those numbers and to look at t al controls and look at processes. So a big thank you to everybody ' here at the county that played a part in that, and especiall t ear in 2021 with a lot of things going on. You know, we t about it last year in 2020. 2021 was no different. Ther st a lot of activities that government employees ng with these days. And so adding in our audit request on top it is burdensome. So, you know please, make sure you give everybody the kudos for the help in g g us what we needed. CHAIR cDANIEL: Absolutely. You all done? MR. ER: That is it. That's the end of my prepared questions [ so thank you again. Thank you for your time, and I'll pause for stions or comments. IRMAN McDANIEL: Any questions? I have one co nt. You know, I served as a bank board member for over 10 years. I've been around audits, both publicly and privately, all my life, and seldom do you get to have that many -- that much looked at and not have a comment about something. So I want to commend our staff, our Clerk's Office, our County Manager's Office. We have April 12, 2022 a fleet of people that are making sure that our operation is going along smoothly. There's no such thing as a perfect system, but we have a really good one here. So thank you to all of -- you for doing the audit, of course, but to our senior staff, our Clerk's Office, and the fleet of people that make our world go round every day. Thank u. MR. KESSLER: You're welcome. �+ MR. ISACKSON: Is there a motion to accept the re COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So move. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I've got a motion. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Second.

I see two of them us on tch for her to sioner LoCastro. �:(" Now, that's what I was going if one was online, I just think that, you know, it's prud ljwe hear from them from the podium. We all got their resumes a I'm sure, took a look at -- a deep dive here. So I just thought tha would probably be the next step. It sounds li Commissioner Taylor was sort of leaning that way as well, that - a lea give them the microphone. So that was my thought as we . So I don't know if we have to make a motion or we just r stion. It's up to you, Mr. Chair. 1 McDANIEL: It's already been designated we can d *er we want without fear. So do you want to hear from the ap ' c nts that are here? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yes. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, yes. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And we'll give them -- how much time do you want to go with? Because I already know. I've already Page 52 April 12, 2022 interviewed them. So it's up to -- what do you think; two minutes? A minute? Three? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: No, I think a little bit more. I don't -- I mean, I would just say keep it short and sweet. We don't want to necessarily cut you off, but don't make a 25-minute spee But I think, you know, everybody needs a few minutes. z S01 Alls I would say is we don't need to hear your bios or z� qualifications. We've already done a deep dive. But b just take, you know, maybe three minutes to just tell us, ow, what you want to say. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Are you ok w t at; two, three minutes? Keep it short. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Q4pt cut them off, if it goes three minutes and 10 seconds. COMMISSIONER LoCAST�'eah. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: n't cut it off. COMMISSIONER TAY No timer. CHAIRMAN MCDAN�I Andrew, we'll go with you first since you're on the list. MR. DICKMAN: Good morning, Commissioners, Mr. Chair. As you kno I'm Andrew Dickman, also your Hearing Examiner, lu i -- since 2020. A job that I thoroughly enjoy. I thorough e working with your department and the employees. It's -- m o n, at least, it's going very, very well, efficient and, agai , it really well. pe the community leaving those hearings, whether they're haS or not happy, feel as though their voice has been heard. The reason I say that is, in my experience with Code Enforcement, it's code enforcement and code compliance. You know, some people are there as scofflaws who thoroughly don't care, and they need code enforcement. Page 53 April 12, 2022 Another part of it is there's people there that just messed up, you know, and need some help, could have stipulations worked out and just work them out that way. So I have been around government my entire professional career. As you know, I'm a city attorney as well in St. Pete Bea So I prosecute those cases, and so I know what it takes for th government to come forward with a thorough case to prose t ose cases and show by a preponderance of evidence that the Qd to show, and then the respondent would have the oppo to show that they haven't done that. Now, as a hearing -- as a special magi str o o rse, it would be my job to listen. It would be my job to tak i al the information. First and foremost what I w ld o is exactly what I do as a hearing examiner is ensure thatd s was secured primarily, that the notices were d ctly, that -- by law, by your code and by state statute, check th x off, because if you don't have due process, you've got o em right away, and that needs to be cured. Then move into the s tantive matters and hopefully have the right people from the cqunty there for the particular issue, whatever it is, whether it's a driveway permit that wasn't pulled for a driveway or a fence or so&eing more serious. Then move on to the respondent. My v*ewNhese types of hearings is not to bully people around, is intimidate anyone -- it is a public meeting -- but at the s ' e, direct it, be efficient, let everybody know how the works. It is their government through you as their elected do , so I want to make sure that everybody hears everything. But at the end of the day, usually you have long agendas, and I'm an efficient person when it comes to those types of things, and I think that's also what is necessary as your special magistrate, to get through these things as quickly as possible. I'm fully qualified. I'd Page 54 April 12, 2022 love to continue working with the county in another capacity with that. I'm extremely confident I can do it for you and do it well. So with that, I'm open to any questions. So I don't want to go any further than I need to. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You're good right now. Commissioner Saunders. �+ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a couple quick questions. 0 MR. DICKMAN: Yes, sir. Jowt. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: In terms now you've been our -- working with our Growth Manag n epartment for -- I guess it's been a couple years. I haven a d any negative at all. Do you see there -- is there any pote 1, ough, for any conflict? Both in terms of substantiv h I don't think there could be, but also just in terms of bviously, you're a busy guy. MR. DICKMAN: Time -- conflict with regard to time, no. Thursday is reserved'�o�pketely for Hearing Examiner. It's -- I don't think we've ever gone beyond noon on Thursdays. Fridays are completely open for mVwide open. So I don't bFIL ve your code says it has to be on Monday or has to be on Tues a or`has to be on Wednesday.But ideally, it would y� be great if co do the HEX in the morning -- and, frankly, they go pretty uic -and continue on with the code enforcement part of it the a but, otherwise, Friday is perfectly fine with me. MISSIONER SAUNDERS: No problem with time. But w out just subjectively, is there any potential for any kind of con ict holding those two positions? MR. DICKMAN: Yeah. So there are -- so your HEX decisions are quasi-judicial. They're record built. So at the end of -- at the end of those meetings, the decisions that are made, Page 55 April 12, 2022 whether they're my decisions or prior decisions, they carry the force of law. Say there's conditions -- let's say a condition of amplified music, outdoor amplified music has to be stopped at 9:00, okay -- 9:00 p.m. and that issue comes up at a Code Enforcement Board issue, and let's say that the respondent's arguing that that's, vague because it doesn't say live amplified or unlive amplifie Well, I would have to call it like I see it. And if there' od law that says that it's arbitrary and capricious -- and, fra l$ I wrote that condition -- and usually I follow staffs conditioner sually when they put in a condition, I follow their condi!*?.ftcause they've done that. I don't get involved in theci ions or the staff recommendations and things like that as a , X. But I would have to weigh that information, and if it an issue about live amplified -- amplified music, then I�g ould have to deal -- that would be a tricky deci ' personally don't see any conflict because I feel like whatev nditions that have to be enforced by the county carry tIAfNce of law, and that's that. And so if it comes before me as 1 magistrate, then I just need to implement the law, and Avully those conditions are clear and concise. And I don't -- unless somebody feels as though, just like a judge, that I e to ecuse myself for some reason, which I don't believe th I Id have to because I treat everybody fairly at those hearings, a ould treat everybody fairly at those hearings. I think d always ask somebody if somebody brought it up and s e uncomfortable and they put it on the record. We could de th it then. I don't know if your Code Enforcement Board in some way -- I don't know if you're still using that or not. I know you have a bifurcated type system. That would be an option. But I really don't see that, and I don't know what the percentage of HEX -related decisions on conditions are really part of the agendas Page 56 April 12, 2022 that come in front of you. I feel confident. Of course, I'm telling you my opinion. I'm not your attorney; you know that. Your County Attorney has to give you his legal opinion about that. I feel 100 percent confident that I would not bring any biasness into those decisions, because those decisions are clearly a force of law. �+ Now, the appearance of a conflict from somebody that'* standing as a respondent may feel that way, I believe I c Qwork through those issues at a hearing. If you have spoke anybody about my hearings, I tend to do them very fairly a e people an opportunity to put on the record if they feel th i a conflict. But I'm absolutely confident that if anyone rea tat record, they would see that it was conducted in a fair impartial way. COMMISSIONER SAUNDE4S: hair, could I direct that question to the County Attorney, j ti, pinion as to a substantive conflict, not a conflict in terms of ,but just substantively, if that would be a significant proble ntially. MR. KLATZKOW: he Special Magistrate has concurrent jurisdiction wi e Code Enforcement Board. In the unlikely event that Mr.pic man had a conflict, we could send it to the Code Enforc ent Board, or if it was something that required something m e tha that, we could always take it to county court. CO I NER SAUNDERS : Thank you. CHA N McDANIEL: Very good. Thank you, sir. is -- Thank you. AIRMAN McDANIEL: Yep. trick, have we came up -- while you're coming up, Patrick MR. MILLER: We still do not have Ms. Roche online. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. MR. NEALE: Good morning, Commissioners, Mr. Chair. Page 57 April 12, 2022 Thank you for the opportunity to make a presentation to you. As you see, I put in my bio, and, frankly, I think what I'd like to speak to here a little bit is my philosophy and my background in performing these kind of duties. I mean, my philosophy is very similar to Mr. Dickman's, frankly, is that I think that the role of a magistrat the role of a hearing officer, the role of anybody on a quasi ju rirl board or a judicial board is to listen to the facts, interpret th according to the law, and make a decision in an expedit' Qnd final fashion so that people can move on with their lives. I think part of the issue is that, you know, we want people to be hanging out and hanging out and hangin u her they are, as Mr. Dickman says, a scofflaw or whether th e s somebody that just truly just messed up. And so I think one of the things t - that I would seek to bring to the job is something whe e work with the people who deserves to be worked with e make sure that the law's properly enforced as to those who have shown a disregard for the mores and rules of th So I think that's one of the areas that I would certainly pus ou know, sort of the tempering justice -with piercy approach, I think, is one that I would think is importa One thi fo d -- and I was the attorney for the Contractor Licensing oa or 15 years, so I got a lot of experience watching these kinds earings. And I appeared in front of the Contractor Lice ard, I've appeared in front of the Code Enforcement B e been in court hundreds of times. I've, you know -- and I' arbitrator. I've arbitrated a number of cases. I'm a mediator, so I've mediated dozens of cases -- is that you really -- you need to make sure that you get everybody putting their word in, putting their -- putting their testimony on the record, make sure that the facts are there to support your decision, whatever that decision may be as April 12, 2022 the magistrate. I think those are -- those are things that I find very important. And, you know, my experience here in the county, I think, speaks for itself. I've been here since 1987, served on -- I can't even count how many county boards and both in quasi -- as a quasi-judicial boar d also as just a volunteer board. �+ And I see that this role for me would be not just to prov4i� a high -quality service to the county, which I believe I can o'vide a very, very good service, but to me it's also a bit of a s to the county in that I would be, to some extent, giving b ecause I'm not -- certainly not seeking a fee that is what n a fee would be. And so, you know, I'm looking to both pr i e a very high -quality service to the county but als ive back in some ways because of this. So does anybody 4av estions? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: cola' got plenty of time. We did the three minutes just to have ust to have something. MR. NEALE: I don't -- now, you've got my presentation in there, so -- CHAIRMAN McDA L: That's right. MR. NEALE: -- aos far as that, you know -- but I think that's sort of my basic 'losophy in these kinds of things is making sure that the citize s f t community feel like they've been heard in a situation l e t because I think a lot of times people just get upset because th n't feel like they've been heard. AN McDANIEL: Very good. NEALE: Any questions? AIRMAN McDANIEL: Yes. Commissioner LoCastro has a question. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yes. Mr. Dickman, I would just ask that you take the podium, and I have a question, really, for both of you. Page 59 April 12, 2022 But, you know, Mr. Neale, I'll ask you first. You both have touched on several different areas where you talked about this job really requires a sense of urgency and fairness, knowing how to mediate. You know, I'm summarizing some things that you both said: Having a mutual respect for the people that you're dealin with, quality of service, and citizens being heard. You know both said things in a very similar way. I'm not looking to throw previous administration i is position under the bus, but what I would ask you is, do you th' ose things right now have not been done? And I guess may more positive way to ask it, what -- where's the roo o provement? What would be -- you know, if this is a job tha y u want, and especially you both know the job, you kn , better than maybe anybody else in this room, I would �x follow the actions of what the Magistrate does and doe 1�1 r how it functions. So what would be the things that yod have on your short list as, wow, I'm not sitting here sayi 've been horrific, but these would be my focus areas 's is what I think I would bring to the job better than what it cu ly has now. And, you know, there's always room for im royoement, so it's not -- I don't ask that in a negative way. I'll start with you, Mr. Dickman. What would you say? MR. IC AN: First and foremost, I think efficiency. I think the a s that you get can be moved a little quicker without losin I think that's important for staff. I think it's i for the public. I think professionalism in terms of how the he s are conducted and how they're expected to be conducted in terms of the parties that are involved need to be heard and understood but according to the law, and not have a lot of back and forth. I think if there's room for stipulations between the parties, not necessarily between the Magistrate, but if there's room for April 12, 2022 stipulations, hopefully that can happen. Step outside, get that worked out, come before me and say, fine, we've worked it out. We'd, you know, then handle it that way. But I -- and, again, you know, I've watched a lot of the hearings. I'm not criticizing anybody whatsoever. Everybody has their oz*, style. But I would bring, I think, efficiency in terms of getti through the agendas, perhaps helping staff at the county jus a judge would. Say, this is how I'd like to see it. This i it would help me move forward and help you present y se so that I can best understand the facts that I need, because ltimately that has to happen is that people can ramble o n nd on, and just like I do with the HEX, I say, look, you ca s y anything you want, that's great, but what I need to hear m you is this. This is what's going to help me make my djci ' nd I think I'm very good at that in terms of doing it in espectful way, but I think that's what is going to facilitate the eORciency part. And I do think that I will represent the count ood -- very good way so that it's a reflection on the count ough I would be an independent partial -- impartial person. o I hope that answers your question. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yes, sir. Thank you. MR. NEAI4k- I think, you know, what I would see -- and I've watched a nu r of the hearings and have been at the hearings in front of th inc bent. And one of the things I think is having a bit more form about the hearings, because these are -- these are serio s. We're imposing fines of up to $100 a day on these p e're potentially shutting down businesses. We're doing thi ike that. So I think a bit more formality in the process and the procedure could help to give people -- to sort of elevate it a little bit to make people feel like they are getting a true hearing and making it feel not like a courtroom because, certainly, we don't follow the same rules, but making it feel that there's some gravity to Page 61 April 12, 2022 why you're there, that it's not just we're going to shoot the breeze about the fact that you've -- you let your grass grow too long. No, that's not the purpose here. The purpose is, if it's something where a stipulation can be reached, they go outside, they come back with a stipulation, staff presents it, and we get that done. But if it's a t hearing where we have a hearing, hold the procedures to, you , Chapter 120 of the administrative hearing. That is basicall at we're based on, and we go through that and make sure t e process is there, that there's some level of formality, u have the proper testimony, that everybody makes their case t the Magistrate, you know, in the Magistrate's rol e t o be me, would be able to make a decision that was ba� e good facts and good law so that people can feel like y actually got a true hearing and feel like they've been treat a great deal of respect, because as Mr. Dickman said, eve 1,1NN we're independent, we would be the face of the county to e people. You know, we're the one that eventually is goi op the hammer on them, for lack of a better term. And so ' e going to drop the hammer on somebody, you want to m it feel like -- that the hammer was coming for a reasonAO so that's my approach. CHAIRMcDANIEL: Good. Are you good? COMMER LoCASTRO: Yes, sir. CHAIR McDANIEL: Commissioner Taylor. COMMIS IONER TAYLOR: So I'm glad you're both up here, each ium. I'm not sure -- when I first was elected, one of the t I noticed in the agenda, and especially the consent agenda, th s maybe were $100,000 for some problem, and it was reduced to 10,000. Usually it's less than that, much less, $300 or something. I'm not sure that's the Magistrate's role, but I think it must be. Who reduces -- Jeff, who reduces the -- MR. KLATZKOW: Either Code Enforcement Board or the Page 62 April 12, 2022 Special Magistrate will issue, ultimately, a fine. What happens is these are daily fines. Let's say they run $100 a day. That's about $36,000 over the course of a year. So what will happen is eventually the violation will be cured. The Board direction has always been that the purpose of Co Enforcement is getting compliance with the code, and then st f fi come to you, because you are the owners of the lien, as a m of statutory law, and ask that the lien be reduced. It has n 0g to do with the Special Magistrate. It has nothing to do wi Code Enforcement Board. That is the decision that staf make a recommendation that it gets reduced, and it c s the Board. And that process is set forth in a Board resolut n. t has been the policy of this Board for many, many year . COMMISSIONER TAYLOR:� earing what the policy of the Board is for many, many y y, many years, but this is 2022, can you give -- both of yo me your input on this? MR. NEALE: I think, y ow, as Mr. Klatzkow said, the Board's policy -- and ce 1 a magistrate, you know, you follow the policy of the Board to we extent, even though we're independent. You know, t e Board sets the law for the county, and those are the la at we have to interpret. I think t t o now, in today's world, we may want to look at that, but t t d have to be a direction from the Board because, really, the f the Code Enforcement Department has been to achi liance. And so, you know, I mean, as far as fines that ar the purview of the Special Magistrate, that's one that the Sp i Magistrate has to make a decision on a case -by -case basis. So, you know, I can't really speak any further than that. If the Board direction was that, you know, the Board is no longer going to accept reduced fines for code enforcement violations, I think that would be something that -- a policy could be set but, other than that, I Page 63 April 12, 2022 can't really comment. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, okay. MR. DICKMAN: So the number, the financial number is set. There's caps, there's laws, things like that. The first thing is to ask staff, the county, the one that's prosecuting it, what is their recommendation. What would they like, you know, per da t y� like that. '� I don't think the Special Magistrate should be arbit nd capricious on issues. Like, so, for example, let's say grass is too long, and then one day you impose -- you kno 're asking for $100 a day, and then you just feel sorry a o a $50 a day or something like that. I think it's totally got to c nsistent. I think there's got to be a really, really good reas 'for the Magistrate to change that, like, to go above or belpw aff is asking for. Now, I've been in jurisdictions w ci have procedures for after compliance for reducing fines and gs like that. I don't think the county has that procedure, bu ay. I think that consistency has to be there. The law do i e what -- like, there's repeat violators. That's differen And there's other things that are more pressing. And so I think that you have to be consistent so you're not going to be charged with arbitrary and capricious. I don't t1jink, it's the Magistrate's job to just rule over the kingdom d s well, you know, you look like you're trying, so I'm going to do I think there is a level there of flexibility, but I think be done very, very carefully; otherwise, again, being t what people see as the face of the county, it looks co ng to the community and especially to respondents and to staff who are both parties. So I think it starts with the staff recommendation, if that's a reasonable recommendation, I think -- and it's within the law, I think that's what I would follow. But I think consistency is the real rule April 12, 2022 here. I don't think the Magistrate should play around with that very much; otherwise, two years into it somebody analyzes it and says, geez, you went up and down on the same issue all the time, like, why'd you do that? That's not good. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You good? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner LoCa410 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I was just going ask, is it possible to reach out to our third candidate? May t�re's some sort of confusion, if we're just sitting here wai�i her to call in. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: We're not. \\ MR. MILLER: I don't have all oft ackground. I know she's in the East Coast of Miami in q c e where she might probably be in court. She was beNe ired to be there today, which is why she couldn't be her . at's really all the information I have. I don't have any other get hold of her. CHAIRMAN McDAT f We're not waiting on her. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah, I know that. I just didn't knoj as Vtting at home having a computer problem and it was hone call to her cell or something like that just to make everto onnect. CHAIMcDANIEL: Commissioner Saunders. COMNER SAUNDERS: I didn't see this, and I'm sure it's int0DICKMAN: aperwork somewhere, what is your hourly rate? My hourly rate with -- I mean, with HEX, th Hurly rate I think is 225. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I mean, your hourly rate if you were selected as the code -- as the Magistrate, what would your hourly rate be? MR. DICKMAN: I think it should be consistent with the Page 65 April 12, 2022 Hearing Examiner. I mean, I've gone through that entire process with setting up the contract for HEX, the background check and things like that, so we have that contract. I don't know if -- how that would work with the -- you know, if that could just be tagged onto, I don't know, whatever it takes. But, I mean, I'm open to sugges 1 s. I mean, I believe that that's as complicated of a job as the He Examiner, so, you know, it's -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I didn't see it i e paperwork. MR. DICKMAN: Oh, I apologize about tha know. So that's -- MR. NEALE: My rate was in the pape or Yeah, mine's 195. And I have already gone through a f the checks and everything because of a prior complIc ade -- I had to update 71 them, but I've already been throug a''l�tt. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: t t nk we're currently paying 200, if I'm not mistaken. Isn't that"a's current rate is 200? MR. KLATZKOW: dWf recall. I don't know. MR. ISACKSON: h, that's correct, $200 an hour. MR. DICKMAN: And, frankly, I think my rate with HEX is 225. I can't -- I know it's two something. It's not over 225, but I'm sorry I don't Dave that number with me. Does anybody here know? I don't kn MR. I SON: I think Mr. Dickman is 225 an hour as the McDANIEL: As the HEX. . DICKMAN: I'm flexible with that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: That's what I had in the -- that's what I had in main memory. MR. DICKMAN: Yeah. Obviously, I'm flexible with that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. Do you have any other April 12, 2022 questions? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. Somebody want to make a motion, or do you want to hear what I'm thinking? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I rarely want to hear wh you're thinking. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Me, too. I second t motion, Commissioner Saunders. O CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, I'll tell you 'm thinking even though you don't necessarily want to hear it, out that? My thoughts are, we have two fine candidate c y three fine candidates even though Ms. Roche isn't able here with us. I -- you know, as was stated at our 1 eeting, I think our previous magistrate did a wonderfuljo time that she was here. Our County Attorney had l ut accolades with regard to her performance, and certainly n ing a question on any of her decisions ever was really spec' I have a -- my thou inclined to hire you both. I'm inclined -- we're not here reate a new career. This isn't a full-time job for ei her one of you. Both of you are practicing lawyers. I'm i ed to do it on a rotation basis and have you both do, and then a be f we -- if there is ever a substantive conflict, it can autom tica go to the other, because you may be representing a client that's ing in so on and so forth, and that's just my thoughts. I th of you. Andrew, you do a fine job for us as our H xaminer and, Patrick, I've known you forever, so I' - at's my inclination. Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I respectfully disagree with that approach. I think we need to hire a Hearing Examiner. I don't think it's a position that is so -- Page 67 April 12, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Magistrate, not HEX. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Magistrate, sorry. Whatever the terminology is, I don't think we need to hire two. I don't think there's enough work there to do that. I'm a little concerned -- I like the idea of having multiple pe le working for the county. You do -- Mr. Dickman, you do a g , so my position is not a reflection on your capabilities at all I just think it's probably a -- in my view, not a bad idea to hav t er faces doing work for the county. Mr. Neale I've known for a long time. The ncern I would have -- and I'm going to be perfectly h st th you about this -- you say that the magistrate is the face o county, and I want to emphasize the importance of attitude. ain, not being critical, but I've seen circumstances where you tle angry. The last time we did this four years ago, y, , and it concerned me. So I just want some reassura e rom you that you understand that if you are selected, that y eanor reflects on us, and that's important. MR. NEALE: Tota nderstand. And when I'm in this kind of role -- and I thi k mywexperience particularly as being attorney for the Contractor nsing Board or serving on various committees and so forth and e as n arbitrator, my role is when I'm sitting in that seat to ma e th ecision is I'm -- without fear or favor I'm supposed to be there impartial moderator and decision maker of the proc My whole role is not to get personally involved. It has n do with me personally. It is solely about the case that's in fro me and how to decide that case. So that would be my approach. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And any contract that we do have is terminable at will anyway, I believe. MR. NEALE: Sure. April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So if there was, you know, reports that that was not working out the way we'd like, that can also be rectified. MR. DICKMAN: If I may, Commissioner, on that. I just want to mention as well, just like with the Hearing Examiner, I did ma a commitment that I would not have any other clients in the co would not take any clients that would come before boards a t er things, that I did disclose that I had two outstanding iss Oat would be resolved. But I would relinquish the jurisdiction county and not take any clients with regard to land use or ues that would bring me in front of any boards. MR. NEALE: And I will do the same. in an, I've got a couple clients, probably like Mr. Dickma , hat could potentially come before the Board, either this boa r Code Enforcement -- or Code Enforce istrate or any other board, and I would recuse myself from a those because -- you know, I can see how just a conflict wowkN whether it's a true conflict or an appearance of conflict, I Make sure that I don't do that kind of work. CHAIRMAN McDA IEL: Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISS ER LoCASTRO: Thank you. I think C missioner McDaniel was stating it's not necessaril tha e're hiring two but maybe we're hiring each of them part time a ey would trade off, and so it would be one pers - ne position shared by the two. So I understand the se I guess the thing that jumps into my mind is consistency. So ' mebody went before Mr. Dickman and didn't like the answer, could they immediately, you know, have an appeal and then say, you know, Mr. Neale's a little bit easier on this topic, or let's wait for Mr. Neale, you know. He's going to be -- and I'm not saying that would happen, but I'm just spit -balling here and thinking that sometimes is April 12, 2022 an issue. You know, go to this judge, they're kind of soft on veterans, or they're kind of soft on somebody that only has, you know, one type of issue. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Just as a comment, let's ask the County Attorney about the process with regard to that concern. d it is on the premise that there are multiple county judges that kbw' have, and when you're in the system, it depends on which ' n you end up in front of as to what the actual determination m ig fact, come so that was one of the thoughts that I had about hone g magistrate with multiple people serving as the mare. I wasn't talking about that. I just -- thank you for clarification. I did t can to be unclear. But, you know, the process, Mr. County rney, would it be possible for someone to appeal to try t he next magistrate with the current system that we have? MR. KLATZKOW: The t Z3art is forum shopping, which is something I used to engage ' y prior life, and other attorneys do. Yes, attorneys will before the Special Magistrate that they think they'll get the b t deal from, just like you'd try to get before the county judge,&you'd get the best deal from. CHAIRM cDANIEL: So the potential exists that someone cou an ulate the system if we had more than one. MR. KOW: Yes. But right now they try to do it -- try to get eithe Special Magistrate or Code Enforcement Board. Q& AN McDANIEL: Code board, right. �WKLATZKOW: So you're always going to have -- as long as you have multiple decision makers, you're going to always have people trying to game the system to their advantage. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: So my point was I don't want to add to that. I don't necessarily disagree with the idea, but I just Page 70 April 12, 2022 see some other complications. You know, I understand our third candidate. We don't want to sit here and -- you know, we're not waiting, you know, for the third candidate, but I think it's been so valuable hearing from the two of you and also knowing how busy attorneys are. I mean, I don't ttink our third candidate blew us off today. I think the way you said it, Troy, is, I mean, they can't abandon their clients, and their tAne is very -- you know, it's difficult and valued, and, you kno it not a matter of at times of choice. So I don't know how the other commissioner I mean, I read every page, especially of Mr. Neale's bo hi ree-volume set of his application and his resume. But I'm jus w n ering, do we have any concerns that we haven't heard t e third party, even though we've seen her bio and whatpo hat are your thoughts? Because this has been so valuable. COMMISSIONER SAUND My thought is we have two firms here that are local, and t er -- the third is from, I believe, Fort Lauderdale. COMMISSIONER ASTRO: Fort Lauderdale, right. COMMISSIONEI�*SAUNDERS: And I don't see the need to have somebody e to drive all the way over here for -- you know, a two-hour driv ch ay for a two-hour hearing. So I want to go with the 1 al COM IONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. And my thought was not t ut I'm disappointed that, you know, she couldn't get on Z I certainly can appreciate and understand it. And so I di 't now if that was something that we wanted to give her the chance at some point to call us, or do you think we can move forward? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Taylor's ready to Page 71 April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Okay. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. I'm debating. I'm listening to both. I'm listening. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Oh, I thought you wanted to speak. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I did, but my question was answered. �+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Changed your mind. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. 0 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I concur with Comfxsoner Saunders. I would rather have a local firm do it. IN m going to call for -- somebody make a motion. I'm -- I' e essed what I'd like to see us do, so -- and I'm totally happy wi of of these candidates, and so somebody make a mot' COMMISSIONER SAUNDEP�S: ke a motion. And I agree with the County Attorney inA!' ment that we could not make a mistake on this. We do h wo great firms here. CHAIRMAN McDANI xcept for what I want to do. COMMISSIONER RS: Well, I guess we could have made a mistake. But we have two Weaf firms, and I think part of the difference is that we have Mr ickman already working for us and performing a very good fuAIn, nd I'd like to see the work kind of divided up. So that's raignale. So I will make a motion to appoint -- make the appoint and move forward with that. AN McDANIEL: Patrick Neale. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS : Yeah, I'm sorry, make the appointment with Patrick and move forward with that. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Second. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. It's been moved and seconded that we appoint Patrick Neale as our next magistrate. Is there any other further discussion? Page 72 April 12, 2022 (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor?

DORRILL: Good morning, Commissioners, and thank Page 75 April 12, 2022 you for what you do. The Pelican Bay Services Division has four major capital projects underway this fiscal year as the community, believe it or not, approaches its 50th anniversary. One of these is the Oakmont Lake restoration. The Oakmo Lake, which is in Basin 4, is one of the signature lakes in the lz� community with over a mile of shoreline. Your engineers your citizen resident advisory board have spent the better pa Ovo years surveying and evaluating a wide variety of technique dress erosion and sediment buildup and escarpment that in various lakes here. Bids were let fora process that is called ell which is interesting and has an expected very long ' e to it just prior to Christmas. Bid openings occurred jn on the 1 Oth. There were six bids that were received, ich was determined to be nonresponsive by the Procuremen ision. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder is Qua ' terprises USA of Naples. They are a known firm that ha y of site work and subsurface utility and road construction exp nce with the county. In this particular c.4se, the design engineer has also reviewed and issued his DeLot4 notice of recommendation. I can tell you that the lowest an ost esponsive bid, $2,877,297.50, is 19 percent below the osNecent estimate of probable cost by the civil engineer.

'V Item # 11 D 0 AUTHORIZING 12 ADDITIONAL FULL TIME VALENT ("FTES") POSITIONS IN THE COLLIER C MS DIVISION DUE TO INCREASED CUSTOM MANDS, POPULATION, AND CALL VOLUME UTHORIZE THE NECESSARY BUDGET AMENDMFZWND ACCEPT EMS' PLAN TO IMPROVE STAFFIN ESPONSE TIMES TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTUR LINTY DEMANDS — APPROVED MR. ISACKSON: missioners, I'd like to ask Tabatha Butcher, our chief EMS -services director, to come up. It's a recommendationSeS authorize 12 additional FTEs in Collier County -49 V EMS divisio increased customer demands, population, and call volu s, a authorize the necessary budget amendment. CHIE TCHER: Good morning, Commissioners. Thank you. a Butcher, chief of your EMS division. 'tern that you have before you today, like the County er said, is to add 12 additional FTEs to the EMS system. Before I get into that, I would first like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support of EMS for the last 41 years in this community and the continued support that you give us each day. So the additional FTEs for EMS is going to provide additional I April 12, 2022 staffing to our division to reduce overtime and the workload on the EMS crews, which will result in less fatigue and better service to this community. EMS operates 26 ambulances and one helicopter 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and staffing consists of three shifts of employees that work 24 hours a day, and they work 24 on, 4 f. Each ambulance is staffed with two employees per shift for Z t� f six employees assigned per ambulance. When employees are absent from work for any typ (Deave, vacancies must be filled with employees from other s working overtime. Filling these vacancies is mandatory, s o not reduce the level of service that we provide to our co u Ow Prior to 2007 when EMS added a growth ni , seven employees were added to provide the additional persVf4i,eI to account for vacancies without utilizing overtime. ANVactice was eliminated during the recession, and through , there are currently no additional on -duty personnel to co e ose vacancies. For years, EMS has cov&Co ese vacancies with employees on overtime, and we've mantinue to provide timely and efficient service to this co unity; however, with the increase in call volume of nearly 14 percent over the last year and a half, the population's exp ed to continue to increase, and the amount of overtime in t st ar is nearly 80,000 hours on our existing employee A f this can lead to burnout and fatigue in our first responders. en and women are passionate about what they do, and t to continue to provide high -quality service to this co nity, but they also need rest to prepare them for the next shift to give their best to our citizens and visitors. Changes in service demand and employee needs require adjustments to staffing and in deployment models. The last major adjustment to EMS services was in April 2014. We're proud to have Page 79 April 12, 2022 a countywide EMS consolidated service within our community, and it's our duty to provide that quality and timely services. Like other first responders in Collier County, EMS is important to this community. They take care of the people and witness tragic incidents every day. Without our employees, we would not hav e outstanding service we have. We must take care of them so n continue to take care of others. So today I'm requesting approval of the 12 FTEs a acceptance of the proposed future plan that was in th hments to the agenda, the additional recommendations you h fore you in those attachments, but I am happy to answer tions, and I thank you for your consideration. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Comm' 'oner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRQ: I just wanted to say you've done an amazing job since ver, and I worked with you, you know, when I was a CO a hysicians Regional and spent a little time with you. Mayb ' een a few months back, but I'm just so impressed how y� saved the taxpayer -- you have saved taxpayer dollars, how you ve been incredibly thrifty, without making sure -- with ensuri g that capability, you know, doesn't lack but to spend, you kno ollars wisely. I want y o ow that our County Manager and his team yesterday -- I n, I wanted to do a deeper dive into, you know -- I understo d eed, we're growing and whatnot, but they repr ou very well yesterday in understanding why this, to -brainer. d I'm glad you did say 2014, because I did a little dive and I was ike, you know, how often have we done this? You know, please tell me we haven't been sort of piecemealing this every year or so. And, you know, you all have been incredibly patient and -- while other, you know, counties and municipalities around the 0- .1 April 12, 2022 country sometimes are sitting here having big, long meetings to save nickels and dimes, which is costing them a lot of capability, I would hope there's nobody here in this room that wouldn't, you know, fully support -- you know, you could have asked for 25 FTEs and then maybe settled for 18. County Manager yesterday in my office made it very clear `nd proved to me that, you know, 12 is the number. And you have -- you could go a little higher but, you know, you'Tre Ong to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars. And so, you kn for one, really commend you for, you know, your leadersh' also how you're managing, you know, your staff. But t ant to be perfectly, so Y shorthanded. You outlined it erfectl I d,'need to piggyback on your words. But thank you so much for all to ,and we want to make sure that, you know, you're fully f nd fully supported. CHIEF BUTCHER: Thank o I appreciate that. CHAIRMAN McDANI ommissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER Thank you very much. It was under the lea ip of our County Manager who recognized almost from the day he was hired how important it is -- EMS is to t ' county and the job you're doing, and I'm very pleased to be a t o oting up here to agree and to make a motion to agree to i rea our FTEs by, I believe it's -- 12 is the number. CHIE TCHER: Yes, thank you. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It is critical to the health and safletVnd welfare of our community, and our community's growing, an one knows that better than your department, so thank you. There's a motion. I made a motion. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I heard you. I didn't have to call for it, so... COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Has there been a second? April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Second. I'd second it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: There has been a second. Is there any other discussion, other than my little editorial, and you fall directly under my number -one responsibility of local government, and that's to keep my families and neighborhoods safe. So I cou 't be more pleased to support the motion and the second. So t you. CHIEF BUTCHER: Thank you. O CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Any other discus si (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favo COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDEP�S: COMMISSIONER TAYLO CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: osed, same sign, same sound. (No response.)

Item # 11 A Alh, AWARD A UEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ("RPS") NO. - , "CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND I ION (CEI) SERVICES FOR TIGER GRANT," TO K ER CAMPO & ASSOCIATES CORP., FOR A TOTAL NO TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $1,946,572.96, AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THE ATTACHED AGREEMENT — APPROVED April 12, 2022 MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, I see Ms. Scott sitting up there. Why don't we just run the trifecta and go through IIA, if we can. It's a recommendation to award request for professional services 21-7877, construction engineering, and inspection services for the TIGER grant out in Immokalee to Kissinger Campo & Associates, a total amount $1,946,572.96. �v CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Good morning. 'V MS. SCOTT: Good morning. I was going to be e ill the end, so... Anyhow, yes, we're here to seek your approv he award of our construction engineering and inspection c ra have a presentation; otherwise, I can just give you a li e -- few bullet points. A few -- about a month ago we a rded the design -build contract. We anticipate beginning jo n by the end of the year, so this is the last piece of th PP, puzzle, if you will, so we can go forth and do some great thi n Immokalee. COMMISSIONER TAY Yes, yes. CHAIRMAN McD This is -- this is a pretty special thing. How long's your p entation? MS. SCOTT: That's it, or I have five slides. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Do you want to whip up the slides real quick jus a -- you don't mind. Commissioner LoCastro, do you have a ue . n for her? COM IONER LoCASTRO: No. I was just going to say, I do ' nybody -- you know, sometimes I sort of make a little, y o , public service announcement here. But nobody watching or e audience should think we vote on anything that costs $2 million without doing our homework. You know, all day yesterday you had all the commissioners here, Trinity in our office going through this with quite a bit of detail, just like we did for the FTEs. So it's not like we heard her three bullet points and said, sure, April 12, 2022 $2 million. So thank you for the detail and the eloquence yesterday, always being available to us. So this is the formal part. But, you know, to those people who maybe don't attend these meetings or don't understand the homework involved and the discussions, it's quite a bit before we sit here and vote. But, yeah, I think it's go to show these slides and make it part of the record, too. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And as an addition, this w long have we been working on this? This has -- 0 MS. SCOTT: 2016, 2017; many, many, many ye'''�: CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yeah, many, m ears, a lot of dedicated staff that have brought this to fruiti n n enormous benefit to the community of Immokalee, so... MS. SCOTT: Absolutely. So the 'ec is Immokalee Complete Streets growing connections c e mobility options or, as we call it, our TIGER project. ded by a pretty significant federal grant. We are receiving ' t ver $13 million of federal funding for the total project f onstruction and design. This will add appro 20 miles of new sidewalk, enhanced drainage impro ents in the project area, seven Collier Area Transit bus stops,o new CAT transfer station, as well as roadway and int ction lighting to five corridors and 38 intersections. This -- as ted earlier, we came to you about a month ago to award the -build contract to Quality Enterprises as well. They have e design. We've issued a notice to proceed, so they havl%e n the design. Because it is a design -build project, they may not design the entire 20 miles of sidewalk and all of the improvements. They can design in phases and be able to get out there and get construction going, so that is why it's very important to have our construction and engineering and inspection services on contract as well and ready to go underway at any moment. April 12, 2022 So the firm that we -- was chosen through the selection committee process is Kisinger Campo & Associates, and the negotiated amount was $1,946,572.96. We anticipate construction starting by the end of the year, and it will be about 800 days. And with that, I'm asking for your recommendation to awar he request for proposal. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Back up to Slide 2, becag5 this thing -- as Commissioner LoCastro said, that's all -- tho r all things we've all done to get here today. MS. SCOTT: Yeah. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Slide 3. T 1 e icture of where the work's going to be done. And then' e next slide talks about what we're, in fact, doing: 20 mile f sidewalk, eight- and- a -half million in storm waler v ransit bus stops. My goodness, my goodness, my good Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAY You know, thinking about Commissioner LoCastro's rtks and understanding that folks watch us, I think it's very important to understand, yes, the federal government did co e in►and give us a grant, but our staff are negotiating this. 's not, oh, we've got this money, so just go to it. There is a w r ess that has to be followed which shows accountab' ity the taxpayers' dollars, not only locally but statewide a tionally, and congratulations on that. TT: Thank you. IRMAN McDANIEL: Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart was hugely instrumental in the front end. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Such a friend. Such a friend. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Absolutely. And then our -- you folks have supported our staff and the additional requests to be able to make sure that this project has gone forward and is going to be the April 12, 2022 benefit that it truly is. So thank you. Thank you, all. MS. SCOTT: Thank you. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I'm going to make a motion for approval, by the way. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I will second that motion. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: With that, any other discus i� (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor? O COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye.

Item # 1 OB AZe RESOLUTION 2022-63: RECOMMENDATION TO APPOINT TWO COMMISSIONERS AS REGULAR MEMBERS, THREE COMMISSI RS AS ALTERNATE MEMBERS, AND RATIFICATIMCOF APPOINTED CITIZEN MEMBER AND ALTERN ITIZEN MEMBER FOR AONE-YEAR PERIOD ON LUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD -APPOINTING C SIONER SAUNDERS AND COMMISSIONER SOLI MAINING COMMISSIONERS AS ALTERNATES ADOPTED MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, if I can, 1 OB is a recommendation to appoint two commissioners as regular members, 0 i • April 12, 2022 three commissioners as alternate members, and ratification of appointed citizen member and alternate citizen member for a one-year period on the Value Adjustment Board. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, before we go into this, I wanted -- since Commissioner Solis isn't here, I want to make su he stays on this committee. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I was going to say. 'V COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think I'm on i Omit know. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I think you are. k it is you and Commissioner Solis. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I have problem staying on it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Oka the rationale for us to have this discussion today, I thought ve, ready did this back in January. Did we? Or did we -- i t, t s just simply because Commissioner Solis is not ab attending? MR. ISACKSON: 1% t erek -- CHAIRMAN McDANVL: Oh, we're going to let Derek talk, okay. *#* MR. JOHNS N: Derek Johnssen from the Clerk's VAB. It seems I'm up e e a ing for something all the time now. Ever ea e redo these appointments. The citizen appointme not need to be ratified on an annual -- they could be ratifi e commissioner appointments actually need to be ape by sthe Board every year, and we did not do it in January. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Oh, we didn't do it in January? It wasn't -- MR. JOHNSSEN: May of last year. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Oh, okay. Okay. And the two -- the two current appointees are Commissioner Solis and April 12, 2022 Commissioner Saunders. They've been the ones attending. Is -- and I know Commissioner Solis is spread a little bit thin. Do we need to have a different commissioner? MR. JOHNSSEN: Well, part of the ask is to appoint the other three as alternate members. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You just pointed to yourself. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, all three of us are additional -- 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I watched you o yourself. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Do what? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You nee o o the board. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: No. We al r by -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I kn -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: - - d COMMISSIONER TAYLO e t front and center. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: n't want to be front and center. I think if we have the two pri nes appointed, Commissioner Solis and Commissioner Sall rs, and the rest of us serve as alternates, it would carry ui�well. And you know any one of us will step up -- you know any one of us will step up if we -- I'm pointing -- if!the 's a need, so. I'll make that motion that the two current ones 6ther three -- the three of us serve as alternates. P I 0NER LoCASTRO: Second -- second. N McDANIEL: Any other discussion? ISSIONER TAYLOR: No. MAN McDANIEL: All in favor? ISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Opposed, same sign, same sound. April 12, 2022 (No response.) COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So moved. Item # 1 OC REQUEST THAT THE BOARD DISCUSS WHETHER WE SHOULD DIRECT STAFF TO LOOK INTO AMENDINC3�I LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND/OR THE NOIS�ONTROL ORDINANCE IN ORDER TO LESSEN THE IMPAE��THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS HAVE ON 9raXTTING RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES — APPRO� MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, C, it's a request that the Board discuss whether we should dile a o look into amending the Land Development Code and/ i, control ordinance to lessen the impacts that commercial dev 1 ents have in abutting residential communities. Th' sponsored by Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER LOR: This is really to bring the issue that -- our administrative code regarding construction. The date of that is 1990. A 'f you think about the county in 1990 and you think about t4 g6ou y in 2022, you realize it was a different place. So I woul likN see if I have concurrence by my board for staff to look at it. reas that could be addressed would be time construction beginklotice to neighbors that something is actually going to be build a property that is adjacent to residential. The noise ordinance would cover specifically the noise of the construction, and that's why the issue is when construction begins. What days construction take place. I don't see this as terribly draconian. I just see it as bringing it up to date with the fact that we 0M April 12, 2022 are growing, and the urban area is prime for redevelopment, and the spaces are getting much smaller between existing residential and the commercial. So... COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I have no problem bringing something back to take a look at. N CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Can we -- should we hear f staff or -- I don't have any problem bringing something bac do have hesitancy in trying to fix something that's worked well for our community. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, you sh robably talk to the people I've talked to. It's not working w anymore, especially Isles of Collier. This is -- this is -- 1 so Collier is a PUD, and they knew that there was going be a commercial area, they knew that, but a three-story hotel ng in there without notice to the neighborhood. Now, 1, ree-story hotel, if you're on the top floor of that three-story h_ 1 here's issues that could have been addressed by the neighbQNNs like what kind of screening, what can we do. That w they found out about it after the fact. And in the course o e discussions with that neighborhood, it was clear that, perhaps, if they had come in a little bit earlier, more could have been ke. And staff was extraordinary with this. They really were. kd �tried to work as closely as we could with the developer. ou know, he was way too far down the pike. Like, stance, where are your -- what is your parking lot desi here are you putting these dumpsters? And, oh, by the w time of the day do they pick up the trash from the du p er? And, oh, is your pool there? Oh, there's a pool. Well, are there outside speakers? And, oh, where are the lights? Oh, we have to keep it lit. Well, keeping it lit means the person that has a backyard is now going to be lit depending on when the hotel turns off the lights on the pool, which they never do. April 12, 2022 So that's -- that's the challenge we have. There's no easy fix, but I just think it might be advantageous to have a review of this to have staffs recommendations because they're seeing this up close and personal. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner LoCastro. Nrl COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I've said before I thins never any harm in the staff taking a look at anything and br' g us back recommendations. But, you know, the first perso s looking at in the back here when I saw this is Mr. Fr So unless anybody has any objection, I'd like to hear his co at the podium. Often I hear from citizens as well that sa w didn't know about it, we didn't know this, and when we peel onion back, the lesson we sort of learned is, well, it was ad�ve ut maybe what we need to do is more aggressive advertise, atnot; that just because a citizen didn't know about somethi dn't mean we didn't follow all the processes and procedures, at could be one of the takeaways. But, really, Mr. Fre ok at you as, you know, you've done a deeper dive into these t of things. So, certainly, I'm never against the staff taking it look at anything, but do you care to comment just o is topic and enlighten us on, you know, the details, separate rum o act, as I always say? MR. R H: Thank you, Commissioner. For th ord, I'm Jamie French. I'm your department head for Gro agement and Community Development. Commissioner Taylor summarized it very -- very well. e worked with this community at Isles of Collier. And having very limited visibility on this item, coming before you today I don't really have much comments other than there was a mention of, you know, a community that built next to a commercial area. You've got a 2005 PUD where Foxboro and -- at the corner of Page 91 April 12, 2022 Thomasson and U.S. 41. That's a 2005 Planned Unit Development that came before a Board of County Commissioners for a determination. And in 2012, the remaining portion of land, another PUD came in, and they built a housing community. So I -- not having that ability to have that foresight to think, well, who's going to bu* t, but that's a great span of time. And I recognize that we di through a recessionary period, a very deep one, and tigier. is -- clearly, it was important, to now these new commembers that have moved in since that 2012 PUD for Isles The bottom line is, is it wasn't that it wa aertised. This -- they had vested rights that were determ e within their PUD. They were allowed to develop a hotel them _T is wasn't a question of zoning. This was just a Site Devel tv i Plan that came forward, like any other administra ' , cess for a Site Development Plan. They met the criteria identi e within their PUD and the Land Development Code, and the n ' rs were not notified of this. These same neighb i not mistaken, were very well involved when the conditi 1-use process came forward with the property that abuts the blampton Inn project site that faces U.S. 41 for a Ferrari dealers that was right in front of Mr. Dickman who was here earlier t a as our Hearing Examiner. So w un tand their involvement, and we've had numerous conversati d meetings with Commissioner Taylor and with this community nd we appreciate their comments, and we've done everything to even go back and look at their existing PUD to find out th re was a fallacy even on some of the buffering, and Collier Enterprises -- we got Collier Enterprises to step in and actually put additional hedge rows in there within their -- within the right place. I think the developer and staff and the engineer who certified the site missed it probably back in 2005. Nonetheless, yes, there is a Page 92 April 12, 2022 hotel that's been approved. There have been some conversations with the community as far as the timing. Commissioners, we don't get a whole lot of complaints on construction. But I would only ask you, if we bring something back, understand you may be able to address this -- and I would defer to our County Attorney's Office. We work very closely with Mr. Klatzkow. But it may be a ci n within your PUD. It may be, you know, that you would id y hours of construction. But you do have an ordinance t een in place, but that ordinance would also impact FP&L, it d impact the county, it would impact anyone that's workin right-of-way. It's just construction, and it gi th o rs of construction from 6:30 in the morning till 700 onday through Saturday, and Sundays there's no constru n. And we do enforce that as well. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: i t. So the proposition is to what, Commissioner Taylor? I m a , are we going to -- COMMISSIONER TAY . To change -- to propose changes where we can u the impact of those changes, to understand we're looking n administrative code that was written 109 20, 32 years ago and maybe it's time to take a look at it again. CHAIR VA cDANIEL: Okay. Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I mean, I've said before in some othe ro als, I would never direct that you come back and propose ch s. I mean, you could come back and say, we took a look at it, we think it's fine, or we learned some lessons here. o I'm not prepared to vote on -- and maybe it's a matter of ve e, making a motion saying to come back with proposed changes. I would back away from that and say, I look to the staff to take a look at it. I don't think I'd ever vote against the staff taking a look at anything we have. Just because it's dusty doesn't mean it's incorrect, but oftentimes it could be two years old and it could be 50 Page 93 April 12, 2022 years behind. And so I just -- I have a problem with saying, direct the staff to come back with changes, because I think that gives the impression that if you don't come back with changes, you didn't do a deep enough dive. And I'm not implying that that's what's bein said here. But Commissioner Saunders taught me on my very first 41VJre words matter, and I didn't like that day, but it turned out to 464ery true, and I use it a lot, but I don't give him credit. O But I would -- I'd be very supportive of the staff g a look at it and coming back, and one of the options could don't propose any changes. We think we have a solid proc a it was a good lesson for us to take a look at our ordinances a hatnot and make sure that we're doing everything to the lev of e law and as aggressively as possible, but we dorl't a rewrite of any -- what would be your though, rench? I mean, this is in your in -box. MR. FRENCH: Well, I what I would ask this board is, would it be okay if we h onversation with the Collier Building Industry Association as w s community organizations, maybe vet this up through the Devwlopment Services Advisory Committee for their recommen ' ons, and bring something back? Clear�ust y, sioner Taylor is absolutely right, there is a -- this is of those unique communities where they're going to suffer sooise. I've experienced it myself, a new home being p Y � g built next door to me. And, you know, I can tell you I didn't need an alarm clock when they're out there clearing land at 6:30 in the morning. But they were following the law. But clearly it is something we'll be happy to work with the commissioners' office, with each one of you, and the industry members just to see what else is going on, as well as the County Attorney's Office, to see what other communities are doing. April 12, 2022 And, again, as I said earlier, I apologize. I had limited visibility on this other than some conversation with the community members last week, or maybe two weeks ago, but we'll be happy to look at other communities, see what our staff s recommendations might be, but it's an old ordinance and no doubt that we should be continua to look at these. �+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You know what, in revie� the -- in review of the recommendation, it's not a directi 0 amend. It's a direction to discuss the potential of amending. ' is a -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's right. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I'm okay w' -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Me, to . CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- with oing forward and having staff -- especially if you're gQi olve the CBIA and the -- COMMISSIONER TAYLO ell, yeah. CHAIRMAN McDANI - and our DSAC and so on and so forth, so I'm totally fine with aft. COMMISSIONER TVLOR: I think one other area, too, is notice, whether or of ids -- you know, that if there is commercial construction goi ext to residential if it's all one PUD. And, yes, they should re the fine print, and they didn't. Just to give the notice, I nd this is not faulting at all what the county's done or even the loper. It's just I've learned a lot through this proc putting myself in their shoes, I thought, yeah, you know, it^ be great if they could have known, because they would have fosyDre invested in the process. But to say also that the developer of the hotel -- and, I mean, he -- we asked for meetings; they were there. It was never anything, but it was always, well, we're too far down the process right now. So it's that kind of conversation that maybe we could modify Page 95 April 12, 2022 somehow. So that's all I need to say, so... All right. I'd like to make a motion that we ask staff to look into amending the Land Development Code and understanding the process that needs to be followed before it's brought back to us. MR. KLATZKOW: More than just the Land Developmen Code. You want -- N COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And the noise. 'V MR. KLATZKOW: Noise ordinances, administr ' ezode, the whole panoply of regulations that we have. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. MR. FRENCH: I'm sorry. Jeff, would t o nclude the right-of-way handbook? MR. KLATZKOW: Anything that anything to do with noise. MR. FRENCH: Thank you. COMMISSIONER TAYLO ank you. COMMISSIONER SA S: I'll second that. Again, it's just getting staff to start tail ook at it.

ISACKSON: Ite . This item was continued from the March 8th, 2022, BC eing. It's a recommendation to appoint the initial membe hip of the Public Arts Committee. MR. KLATZ OV . And, Commissioners, there are to be seven members of this mittee. Three should be appointed for one year, and four me s ' 1 have to be appointed for two years so we can have 4de*;ion. 'tia and staggered. And you have ample applicants this time nsideration. SSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, we do. That was the ri ht So how do we proceed on this? AIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, we have a list of more than seven, and we have to choose seven. Am I okay with that thought process? MR. KLATZKOW: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All right. Is there a Page 97 April 12, 2022 delineation -- and I didn't spend an enormous amount of time. Is there any description on the seven with regard to where they're from or whether -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, districts. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Is it -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, there's districts. TI& only district -- we have one who I would like to see on it frc amour district, sir. Daniel Papanikolaou. Wow. 0 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Good luck pronoun-6ii that. One of -- my question was, maybe if we -- if we set it .Wilar to what we do with the other committees, advisory co i s, one member from each district and then two at large. 01, COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Exc C mmissioner Solis is not here, but yes. The challenge w� ere are one, two, three, h four, five, six, seven from District,, how many respondents? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: �t. But if we have five members, one from each com n district and then two at large, that would allow -- that 1 ow a good distribution of all of the commissioners' represent nd then -- I mean, at the end of the day, this is an advisory comptittee to this board. They're only going to come to us withre ommendations, similar to any of our other advisory co i tee . So having a distribution of one per ry g commissi di *ct, I think, is a good way for us to travel. I mean, we've got o om District 1, one from District 3, and one from Dist r' here's three of the seven members right there. MISSIONER TAYLOR: So -- okay. MMISSIONER SAUNDERS: If it makes it easier, I'll make a motion to appoint those three to get started, and then we have the other four to make. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: So I have -- I know the April 12, 2022 person from District 1 has a deep resume, a full-time resident, so I have no objection to the District 1 nominee. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Nor do I, and same with 3 and same with 5. So let's just do those three first, and then we get the -- and then we get to go forward on the balance. So it's been moved that we appoint 1, 3, 5 district members. Second? �+ COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Second. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's been moved and s �ded that we appoint those three members initially. All in fav COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Op me sign, same sound. (No response.)

TT,,�� COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: District 4? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yeah. Just for the moment. I mean, we anN get -- we would like -- pick -- if you would, please, nominate o those members from District 4. SSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I'd like to nominate two, b -- AIRMAN McDANIEL: Do one for now. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Amanda Jaron and then -- only because she's a working artist. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I'll second that. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah, that's the application I April 12, 2022 have pulled up here. I mean, Amanda's already doing a bunch of things, whether she's on the committee or not. She'd be a perfect add to be a formal member, so... CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's been moved and seconded that Amanda Jaron be the district -- the rep for District 4, if you will, please, just for now. It's been moved and seconded, Amand Any other discussion? A - (No response.) 0 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye.

So there's our five reps from the five individual commis districts. So my thoughts are, let's pick one -- another one 2 and then another one from four. O COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'd like to nomi Bonnie Hawley, and I would also -- I'm not trying to put e ing in 4, but I'd also like to nominate Paul Gower. I look t it resumes, and I think they both will be a great addition, bring t of experience and understanding of art within the publi alm. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRQ: we do want -- just continue to do one at a time. COMMISSIONER TAYLO�I%ykay. So let's -- if we could, with the Chair's indulgence, I' 4;JZhrto nominate Bonnie Hawley, who's at large.

One more. Page 101 April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I mean, an application that jumped out at me -- it's not somebody that I personally know at all -- but Lisette Dipasquale. One of the things that I liked was not only her depth in arts, but she comes from a little different side of art, which is she's a photographer, and, you know, it's part of having diverse group or whatnot. So I don't know if anyone knows personally. I don't. But in diving into the applications, I 1' ow there was a diversity in her background with marketing_�Ioashion and photography, and a lot of the other folks were sc A ii�rs and painters or just had an appreciation for art. I don' if somebody has any more to add, but I just did ' to gloss over that application because it did sort of jump out t e as a unique one. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I at's a motion, I'll second it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: 4s 43��motion . COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I'll make that motion. CHAIRMAN McD 's been moved and seconded that Lisette Dipasquale be th v li member. Any other discussion?

Otherwise, you'll have everybody at the same time leave the board, potentially. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Can't they do that amongst Page 102 April 12, 2022 themselves after they convene? MR. KLATZKOW: That's your function, sir. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So what is it, three -- MR. KLATZKOW: You need three members to be appointed for one year. The remaining four members are a two-year term. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So I'd like to see an art �+ organization, so that would both be -- would definitely be art nd Baker for art organizations, and then maybe Amanda Ja he represents Bayshore. She's very involved and has b 'nvolved for a long time, very passionate about what goes on t think she'd be an asset for that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Those three, n, will be our four-year term? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR:, - no, two-year. MR. KLATZKOW: Three t*et% s for a one-year term, four members for a two-year term. COMMISSIONER TAY . All right. I'd like to see them two years, so let's pick a ne for two years. How about Bonnie Hawley? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So that's Ricki -- COMMISS ER TAYLOR: Aaron, Amanda -- CHAIR cDANIEL: Aaron, Amanda, and Bonnie as a two-year t n.

Item # 1 OA PROVIDE ITIONAL STAFF DIRECTION REGARDING THE C Y MANAGER RECRUITMENT PROCESS - MOTI TO APPROVE THE LIST OF TOP 7 CANDIDATES FOR FURTHER VETTING — APPROVED; STAFF TO BRING BACK AN UPDATE REGARDING THE VETTED LIST AT THE APRIL 24TH BCC MEETING — CONSENSUS MR. ISACKSON: That brings us to 10A, Commissioners. It's a Page 104 April 12, 2022 recommendation to provide additional staff direction regarding the County Manager recruitment process, and Ms. Lyberg will present some opening remarks. MS. LYBERG: Good afternoon, Commissioners. For the record, Amy Lyberg, Human Resources director. I'm here to N provide an update today on the recruitment for the County MaAT position. t We closed the position on March 31 st after it bein Q i about five weeks with a total of 40 candidates. You receiv se candidate information via electronic form March 1 arch 28th, and then again on April 1 st with the last of th n ' a es. So we are back today to give you an upda n where we stand with the recruitment. Each of you has pr 'de some feedback on your short list of candidates yesterday he exception, I think, Commissioner LoCastro may be s ' 0 ing at his candidate selection and has not provided tho ut I can give you a short list, and we'll put that on the visua,�oday in terms of where we stand with that group of candi So we have a short li etween four and nine candidates that are -- that have been seocted by Commissioner Solis, Commissioner Saunders, Com ioner Taylor, and Commissioner McDaniel. And I think we're in or some direction on how you'd like to proceed from here ith bought still in mind of having a new County Managers d to begin in June of 2022. SSIONER LoCASTRO: Well, I'll jump in, since my p' r 't on there. I'll -- I mean, I could get my picks in the next 2 rs and then, you know, we can do something off-line or whafever. I mean -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's kind of tricky for us to do anything off-line, sir. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. Page 105 April 12, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: The premise was -- the rationale, at least the rationale that I had coming in here today was that we would all, as per the previous process, submit our short list as Amy referred to them, and then go forward with even maybe a reduction based upon commonalities of names that were making it through the s list process to be able to go ahead and move forward with, be the -- I didn't -- specifically, I didn't want our HR Departm go review resumes and background checks and everything 0 applicants, or whatever that number actually was. I d that to be the next step after a consensus of who we were to -- who we were actually going to go forward with was. i a es it a little bit tricky to actually have that and then -- with t nowing what -- without knowing what your -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRQ: can give you my names? You could -- at the end of the -- CHAIRMAN McD COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN McD Ivs our next break, and I that work, and then we e next break today? O: Yeah. Do you think we're -- L: I think we're about done. Isn't this the last -- this is th last agenda item. COMMISS ER SAUNDERS: Why don't we -- this is important. N)dij do t we take a 10-minute recess. Do you need more than CON ninutes or 10 minutes? ONER LoCASTRO: No. S SIONER SAUNDERS : Why don't we take a s recess, submit the names, and then have them typed up so we can all have it. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: We'll be back at -- I'll give you -- how's nine minutes? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's great. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: 1:20. They don't pay attention to Page 106 April 12, 2022 my timing anyway. Thank you. (A brief recess was had from 1:10 p.m. to 1:21 p.m.) MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, you have a live mic. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I think maybe we'll start to implement a permanent fine for coming back late. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Andy's in a lot of trouble. He owes us a lot of money. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I used to do that with buddies. If you weren't at the golf course 10 m time, you had to pay for the round or something COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I waste CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: COMMISSIONER SAUND CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And thank you, Commission COMMISSIONER k-bC CHAIRMAN McD information to us. I M-'' ' fore tee ose lines. the room. fiat's all that really counts. Now we have our full list. >: Sorry about that. for putting it out and getting that Ms. Amy, )u want to -- do you want to editorialize, or do you want me MS. YB G: I can certainly go through, now that we have everybody' ctions. You have two candidates that are on all the com rs' lists. That would be Amy Patterson and George Y' You have two candidates as well who are on four co ssioners' lists, Greg Chavarria and Daniel Rodriguez. The rest -- and I can actually switch this out, if it makes it a little easier. I've got a different chart that's got some Xs on it. It may make it a little easier to see who the top candidates are from the list. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And that concurs with my count as Page 107 April 12, 2022 well. I had -- and then Howard, Puente, and Sossa -- Howard and Puente each had two nominations, if you will, or short list, and then Sossamon had three. MS. LYBERG: So I think from here, Commissioners, we are seeking to know if you'd like to narrow this list down and contin on with the recommended process to start the interviews, that co l� rt as early as this week through April 25th, and then collectiv determine the candidate finalists at your next meeting t eks from today and then determine as well if you want th 1 candidates after those interviews and you've done come back either May IOth or May 24th for a final prese ti o he Board before you make your hiring decision. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, I' ce ainly interested to hear what my colleagues have to sad. ink if I recall our process the last time, it takes thre , umly, to have a nod as our next county manager, and this list ence-wise, there are five that have at least three, and then t2e four that have four or five. COMMISSIONER jY�D1R: That's a good way of looking at it. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So create a list of the folks that have three. COMM O R LoCASTRO: Three or more. CHA , McDANIEL: Three or more. From this rendition o rt list there are a total of five people, per my count. I hope ect, Ms. Amy. And I believe that's pretty much how w -- we pared the list back the last time. If I recall, it takes a mi m of three votes in order for someone -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS : That's correct. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- to be nominated as the next manager. So in my -- in my calculations, Sossamon, Yilmaz, Rodriguez, Patterson, and Chavarria, if I pronounced that correctly. April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Sossamon? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Sossamon had three. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: He has three, yeah. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Am I right that I'm looking at -- we only have -- we have two people with two or am I -- am missing something? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Howard and Puente -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Howard and Pu*Z CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- have two. The Fjust 1�v -- well, this list is there. So I'm inclined to go with those ople to have our staff have our HR -- you okay, Commissi r? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, I' s rry. I -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Did yo it t e panic button? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR:, ' d. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: ecurity comes running in here, it's all because of Commissi e aylor. COMMISSIONER TAY4twse I do apologize. Yeah, I have a ques ' I talked to Ms. Lyberg yesterday in my office. 9 ught we were going to narrow it down and then do background►checks on the finalists. CHAIRMAirMcDANIEL: Correct, that's what we're doing right now. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. Before -- before we interview them. Q&IRMAN McDANIEL: That's correct. �LOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Which means it's not going to be a too -week at all, but that's okay. I mean, we're not that pushed. I mean, this is the beginning of April, so -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, the -- per my thought -- she changed -- she delineated differently than what I had in my mind. But in my mind today was us come together -- Page 109 April 12, 2022 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- and pick the final short list, at which point HR would go forth and review resumes and background checks and all of the documentation provided, come back to us with that list that yes - \WA, - COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That was my understan iv CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- those all check out an okay, and then we could, then, necessarily move into the inter eprocess. Because I don't have any interest in going through in ws without -- without that preliminary HR work done COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right. d i k it's very important to have as even a playing field as w ca ave, which means we know the internal candidates hA had all the background, you know, cleared, obviously, but, eye e external candidates that I think need to be vetted, and e�, can approach this in a very methodical fashion. Thank you CHAIRMAN McDANI ell, first of all right, agreed. Commissioner Saundew COMMISSIONER SA UNDERS : We only have two external candidates on this ist. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Correct. COMM O R SAUNDERS : The three internal, I'm sure, have been ett r easily vetted, because they've been here most of their lives. don't think timing is going to be significant in terms of h time staff s going to need. You've got two candidates. I gine it takes more than a couple of weeks to do all the veTvV that you need to do on two people. Would that be an accurate statement? MS. LYBERG: So, Commissioner, I would like to talk about what kind of vetting you'd like to do, because there are some things that we already have the capabilities of doing that are part of our Page 110 April 12, 2022 vendor process, and there are some things that we would have to go out and seek some other support for depending on how much background screening you would like to do. So let me put something up on the visualizer that talks about what we have and what we could do if you so desire to look at those two external N candidates a little more thoroughly than what we've got. �l So typically our process would not be to screen applica until such point as a decision has been made, but if you are (39 that decision that you'd like to do that now, what we wou is to those two external candidates is reach out and gather th ed information from each of them to do a backgr reening. Our current vendor allows us to do a rio� to er verification; p Y p Y education verifications; professional lice if they have them; a driving record check; a social secur'ty g; national statewide criminal checks; the sexual offen ry checks; consumer credit, though, that's not something we to, y do with any of our candidates unless it is a finan ' sition, and we are often very cautioned about using a . gs from a consumer credit report to make a hiring decision; w ers compensation claims; and salary search and verification What we d do right now is the civil records search for litigation at fjq?al r county level, bankruptcy and credit searches, Internet or ociedia, and newspaper or publications. And if you want to do of those, I think we'd have to find a vendor. We actu a vendor that we've learned of from another ity that has somebody that can do this for us. We would ju e to go through the process through procurement to see if we were going to do that to seek their services for the two external candidates. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And the newspaper publication, what exactly is that? With the -- where is that in this background Page 111 April 12, 2022 checking? MS. LYBERG: Typically, Commissioner, that would be you'd go and look to see if their name falls in publications. What -- you know, was part of the news -- you know, news -- what was part of media in regards to -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. �+ MS. LYBERG: -- anything having to do with that in�ual. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I would think Inte t nd social media is very important. r, CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It depends on w i lgInternet and social media you're perusing. ��' COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, the ou d look at it all. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Yeah. CV on t know. I mean, I'm -- what do you think? I don't k-Vo - wait a second. Commissioner Saunders, are you a�, ' h the answer you got there with regard to the vetting proces ? COMMISSIONER SA S: Yeah. You know, the top list, I think, I agree that thC'T et and social media, there should be some review of that. That iyould require reviewing both the fake media and the other fake media, both fake medias. But, yeah, I think with the top list ld that, Internet/social media search would be more than sufficierz%, CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And, Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yeah. I would support the additio 1 four. I don't think we want to leave any stone unturned, and I ca h tell you the company that you found the municipality -- and I think I know which one it is -- it doesn't take six months to do this. And I think we want to cover ourselves and also get the information, most importantly. But cover ourselves to make sure that, you know, we don't leave anything out, because if we, sort of, cut a little corner, go, ah, we don't need those additional four, and then maybe in the Page 112 April 12, 2022 unlikely event, you know, something does pop up, we open ourselves to, wow, why didn't you do a full vetted, you know, check? And I don't think adding these other four is a million dollars, and I don't think it's an extra six months. So that's how I feel. I also wanted to just make a comment and say, I know we're trying to keep this clean as far as, hey, you know, the person t� five votes, no-brainer, person with three votes, but I'm sitti re looking at Howard and Puente, who I didn't have on my J t but two other commissioners did. And, you know, I don't -- 'm opening this up for just conversation. Other panels I've be art of in past lives, military and civilian, sometimes when o have, like, two that sort of just missed that one vote, oftentim y u offer to the people that did have them on the list, hey as t ere something we missed? You obviously thought high m. And not that we're here politicking for the candidate V etimes just a more generic conversation. Hey, I had them ortko ist because I don't know if you saw, they caught my eye e of A, B, C, D, and E. And often when I'v art of those panels, the people that didn't have them on a list mes have said, wow, I didn't catch that. So, I mean, I sit here and say, if we only have two additional candidates that two votes, I'm curious as to what my colleagues saw in them, e aus it does interest me, or, you know, I'd make the -- not ro al, but just float the idea of what does it cost us to add two m ternal candidates, which is what they are, to the -- to our 1' aybe we have a more balanced list of candidates. I d i two more people, you know, increases this by a billion I r or six more months. But, obviously, two of my colleagues thought enough to pick these two folks. So before we just sort of brush over them because they were one vote short, you know, this is supposed to be a conversation. But if we want to just keep it, hey, the number of votes, the number of Page 113 April 12, 2022 votes, and that's it, all said and done, but I don't want to miss out on two candidates that clearly I have two colleagues that thought highly of them. And also, too, we weren't fair in the amount of numbers. I mean, you know, I could have given two more names, and mayb those would have been the two. And then -- you know, so, I , we had a little bit of a variation in how many finalists we So I'm sitting here wondering if -- you know, befor just pass over these two candidates, if the two commissioners ad them on the list had anything to add or if the Chairman thi appropriate to even have that conversation. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: It's certainl ropriate to have the conversation. I don't think it's unfair e way or the other. I mean, we didn't specify how many y make your short list. You could have made a nominati ounty Manager, and we could be voting right now. So it's -- the distance is -- e amount is not requisite. You know, I picked -- both o Ieople that had two votes were -- and I can't tell you off the top qmy head -- sorry? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Sossamon is one of them. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Well, she has to go back up with my list that I r ad urned in. COM,MI NER LoCASTRO: I think Sossamon had three. CHAIWMAN McDANIEL: Sossamon had three. SSIONER LoCASTRO: Howard and Puente had two. 4AN McDANIEL: Howard and Puente had two. MMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think I had both of those that had two on my list. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I didn't realize Sossamon had three. Yeah, he does. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. And, by the way, those Page 114 April 12, 2022 were -- when I talked -- in our previous process, we went with -- we went with candidates that received at least three votes, in this -- in this paring of the total amount on the requisite that it took at least three for an actual nomination of County Manager. So I'm just trying to stay with the process. Again, I don't have -- I don't have why I -- I mean, there was something about their application, their cover letter, their qualification, something that, obviously, had to make m N Ort list, if you will, so -- but I'm totally fine if we, as a group, d to -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: How man ou ask us for, Amy? Did you say five? MS. LYBERG: I think we recommende fi e, but obviously -- COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: S - and the reason I say that is, I don't have my notes here in fron036ther t I stuck to the five. And so -- but, you know, when I s folks added some extra, I don't take any exception AUK. But if I had to add an extra two right now, I remember th t o I didn't have sort of in Pile, you know, B, as I was trying w down. And so if I would have taken the liberty to take a limited number, it's very likely I would have had Howard and d P.ente in my top seven. And so -- Wm looking at other names that got one. None of those were njjel�nalNts. And so -- but Howard and Puente, you know, bef e )' - this is a big decision. And I think also, too, we've all, ow, been part of these panels. Sometimes adding a few he mix, either you find a diamond in the rough -- you tw10 iously two commissioners thought enough to make these 6Dople their finalists, but also sometimes it makes it easier to sort of narrow down the actual pick because it's a good competition. So I think, you know, to me seven, I don't think is beyond the realm. And like I said, Howard and Puente I almost leaned on them, but I wanted to stick to the five, so that's another reason why I'm Page 115 April 12, 2022 bringing it up here. So, I mean, if I followed, you know, the unlimited number or at least the bigger number, I could put two checks on that box right now, and now all of a sudden they'd be in the finals. I just want to see if that has any, you know, support from the other commissioners here, especially the ones that picked two of N them, because I certainly leaned hard in their direction as wel . lz� COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It can't hurt us to h a more diversified list. 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. ^� CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Adding tw ' d pfoblem. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: And I 1 with three locals, that's a little less work to do in the search , I think, you know, adding the two others -- so I actually -- , to move things along, I'll make a motion that we have the tt) en, and that the two candidates -- the only two candi what had two votes be added to the mix. COMMISSIONER I'll second that motion. CHAIRMAN McDA L: All right. It's been moved and seconded that thos sev.*n people -- yeah, it's a total of seven -- those seven people be ved to the short list, if you will, the final list -- not the final list, Jrdtthe short list to have the background checks and such done -X An o discussion? Commissioner Saunders, you were lit UP. MISSIONER SAUNDERS: I was lit up just to say what I di ut no harm. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: You're good? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. Page 116 April 12, 2022 CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. It's been moved and seconded. Any other discussion? (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: All in favor? COMMISSIONER SOLIS: Aye. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Aye. �+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. JW4$1� CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Opposed, same ame sound. (No response.) CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So moved. Now, my suggestion would be to -- ess -- are you clear on what you're supposed to do next? 0 ;Ic� MS. LYBERG: Probably I t'lN e ate it, and you can correct me if I'm wrong. We're going tack and start the process with our external candidates to do ground screening on the four that are now comingin from AtAide to include four additional searches, which would be it records, bankruptcy, Internet and social media, and newspaper and publication working with an outside vendor. Now, *kssible that in that process, Commissioners, some of the i i iis who are on the list may choose to opt out at this point, nd o, we will let you know that. COM IONER TAYLOR: That's the whole point, isn't it? LERG: Because, again, you know, just even to interview, they may decide it's not the time for them to go through this process, but we will let you know that and then probably come back in two weeks with an update on where we stand in getting those done. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And so you're going to let them -- everybody on the outside know that they've made the final Page 117 April 12, 2022 five? MS. LYBERG: Correct. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Seven. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Seven. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Can I just add one thing here? �\,+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I just want to make one c64 ent before you go. 0 COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: And this is the -- because you said something about a list of five. And -1 y review of Amy's emails that I have right here, I don't see n number other than rank the candidates and provide the list to e by noon yesterday. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRQ: why I was asking, because -- and maybe I was thinkittg*6 eviously. That's why -- CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Qrykiously it was. We had said let's pick five, and then we wugh that list. But this particular time there was no limit orJ&ndidates that were -- that were to be provided by the Board. S*4 just wanted -- COMMISSIONEI�*LoCASTRO: And I feel even better about adding the two, Pause if I would -- maybe I was just having a flashback fro e fast time we did this. I think I would have added those two, ec�ise I remember looking several times at their -- an .' So maybe it's a moot point. AN McDANIEL: It was just a point. You know, I w - d had conversation with the County Manager about the pr , and that once we closed the application, I didn't want that to be a dead period for us to come here today and then go do what we've already done, so... COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And, Mr. Chair, I wonder if you would repeat for the public exactly how many applications we have Page 118 April 12, 2022 and what we've now narrowed it down to. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Absolutely. Well, just for all three people that are watching, we had 40 total applications that were submitted. And I want to say -- and I know we all agree. I can say this for all my colleagues how appreciative we are of the folks t took the time. It's an arduous process, applying for a job at all. nd so -- and it takes a lot to do that, so -- and I went through al the -- all those 40 applications had an enormous amount r ading, so... _^ And now what we have done, and we had agr once we closed the application process, which was on rc i t, we all reviewed and came back with a list of candida s at we would like to see, and then we -- our HR Departmen compiled them, and this is the list that of who made each one of our indi-AdAuIN you will, and then we have the 40 applicants that made and that -- and two of Aok all five of our lists, LV up here in front of us ommissioner's short lists, if Vo'V-' there are a total of seven of ltwo of the commissioners' lists, e of those seven candidates are outside applicants; am I cNct in that? MS. LYBERG: Sir, I believe it was four. CHAIRM cDANIEL: Excuse me. Four of them are outside appli s, give me, and so those four, we're going to move forty rd the -- on the background checks and investigations for inform that was provided with their applications to ensure that -- assume that nobody made it to us that didn't qualify for theoftnlWium set of terms and conditions. MS. LYBERG: We actually did not do any screening for this. We took everybody that came in and provided those so you had a chance to review all of them. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. That screening will then -- everybody that I picked was in the -- was in the list of Page 119 April 12, 2022 minimum qualifications so -- having met those. So that -- and so that is necessarily what we're going to do next. You're going to go -- and I want to hear from the Board, what's the pleasure after -- do you want to wait for two weeks, give -- is that sufficient time for you to do the background checks and so on for the four outside candidates? MS. LYBERG: I can't -- until we actually go back aijh lk to a vendor who can do some of these things, for the additio s reenings that you requested today, I'm not sure if two weeks is g to be sufficient amount of time to go through that proce CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Will you p a creening thing back up on the visualizer for us? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: CA I make a comment? CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Cie COMMISSIONER LoCAST ow, I know this -- don't throw spears here, but I want to to out something that's very sensitive here in the room. B 't easy to say we have three candidates that have wor for the county a long time, but we had an employee here tha rked for the county at the highest possible level, and you know, if maybe some vetting would have been done, may e would have caught some things sooner. I would t al float out there that all the candidates, whether they're int a external -- this is nickels and dimes. And if a compan 's g to look at four people, I don't think the three that work ould be excluded. I think it helps them to know that t vetted and that they have a clean record. Just because th 'v worked here for 20 years, maybe in the last three years they've done really bad things on social media. Maybe they have a bankruptcy we didn't know about. Maybe they have some sort of civil records litigation -type thing that they've kept hidden from their bosses like a previous employee had done here recently. Page 120 April 12, 2022 I think it covers all of us to treat all seven candidates -- and I don't think it will slow down the process at all, because that contractor that does that -- and as one of the commissioners said, maybe Commissioner McDaniel, I think we've got the time to do this extensively, thoroughly, and it only helps the candidates to say, , I worked for the county 20 years, they did a full search just lik a stranger, and I've got a clean bill of health. I don't think we should sort of pick and choose and v a different standard for somebody that's worked here. _ , some of them were vetted the day they were hired. W months here. I could do some -- I could rob a and if nobody ever knew about it here, you kn never -- maybe nobody would ever catch AlL So I think with only seven can4idj�16 equally and do a complete search CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN McD COMMISSIONER Led every 12 tomorrow, i my police record. should treat them all I'm comfortable with it. No worries with that. MS. LYBEkteilth If I may, there's a lot of things that are part of background scre process that I think we're going to probably need to coor the County Attorney's Office to ensure that we are not_ ut -- when we get to the end of this process, that we are pro erl dling any documentation and records that are found so th e in compliance with the law, Fair Credit Reporting Act a e, in a manner that is consistent with whatever needs to be co nicated for decision -making purposes. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: You brought up a good point, though, Amy. When you notify these candidates that we're about to do a background search on them, don't be surprised if, when one of them sees how extensive of one we're going to do, if somebody Page 121 April 12, 2022 does -- and that's their right. They could say, oh, I didn't know you were going to do that deep of a dive, and they may not have anything to worry about, but they may just feel it's an invasion of privacy. I don't think so. I think when you apply for this job you open yourself Up. N But I think that is the process. You're going to let them k(Nv that they're a finalist, and this is the next step, and they have right to say, ooh, okay, no, I actually don't want you to do th .©o I wouldn't be -- it wouldn't shock me if we were down . I hope not. But I think we have time to do it, so -- and y nder no gun. I don't think anybody here is saying come bac ' eeks and make sure it's all done. If the contractor says ye eed more time, I think we've got a nice window here. And the other thing I will say, i� i u ked at the 40 candidates -- for anyone who's list, - one of our goals was we didn't want -- we were hoping w diverse group, not 39 internal candidates and then one perso the City of Naples. Heck, we had applications there fr e that had Alaska experience in their background. So I eally impressed with the diversity. Some of them, you know, weren't on any of our lists for a reason. But I think that da�es you feel better about the five or the seven. But, yo ow,4 think an exhaustive search from everybody is the way to o t eep it fair across the board, and obviously you're going to le seven candidates know what we're about to do -- AN McDANIEL: Right. MISSIONER LoCASTRO: -- or what you're about to do. R. KLATZKOW: And just for clarity, we don't need to come back to the Board for approval of a vendor. Amy's got the authority to go out and get whatever vendor she deems appropriate. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Right. And then minimally plan on a report at our next meeting -- Page 122 April 12, 2022 MS. LYBERG: We can do that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- on how the vetting's going, what the time frame is. Obviously, we'd like to have it done by the next meeting so we can move into the interview process, because that's going to be, you know, a time for us to go through as well, so... COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So how are we going to s with the interview process? Are we going to -- as I reme it, there's interviews within this chambers, and then there's individual interviews. So which comes first? Interviews in the chambers, and then that same day you interview -- I mean, it can' meeting day. It has to be another day that we do this. And then we would individually meet wit a t e candidates. So they would give us maybe a 20-minut 1 -minute presentation, then we'd go to the individual intervie e of us would interview them at almost a round-robin, and+he�i would have our decision. So it's a day, but it's a working d o you have any concepts about that? CHAIRMAN McDA-1*I17L� Well, you know -- I'd like to talk to the County Attorney a little bit about that as well. But, you know -- and that's also We of the -- when we did this the last time, that's pretty mu by we stayed with three recommenda ' -- ree commissioners recommending or above and not goo -- not to slight those that have two, but it takes three just t n have the ball. SSIONER TAYLOR: So we're going to short list it a think, after that? AIRMAN McDANIEL: That's my thought process. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I kind of sort of think that's -- but, again, we've already voted on the seven, so that's that, so... MR. KLATZKOW: And my suggestion would be that each of Page 123 April 12, 2022 you separately speak with the candidates and then give Amy another sheet, and whoever makes three on that sheet is when you publicly interview. It's just -- it will further narrow your group. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Can I just add, I think that that's the piece of it. So Piece No. 1 is Amy -- the way I unders d it -- you're going to inform the seven candidates and let them the depth of background we're about to do, find out if any o m are going to drop out, and then you could let us know, hey, Oven of them are being vetted. Then once they all pass that vetting, then we ' ew whoever passed. So hopefully it's still seven. Then .n i w those people, and then I think the next step is exactl i e t e County Attorney said. Then maybe you come bqA to us and say, who are your top three or four, and then those lks who get to speak, you know, here, and then we pick ists. That's the way it sort of was i mind, and I think that was similar how we did it previou ut I think that's sort of the -- I mean, that's the best seq events I could think of. I couldn't imagine it a different way. ut, I mean, I bow to my colleagues here, but I think, y u know, you go on with this vetting and then let us know how m we're going to interview in person. We try to do it as quickly oss le, and then give you a second sheet so that we don't have ev eople -- because I think we all learn in the interviews know, a resume gets you the interview, the inter s you the job. And there were some people that were o 1 of our lists last time, and after the interview, they weren't in finals because the interview, you know, face to face certainly showed us a lot. So that would be my thought: Vet, interview the people who pass the vetting, then we skinny it down. Those are the people who make presentations here, whether it's three or four, I think the Page 124 April 12, 2022 number -- the sweet spot is somewhere in there when you have seven candidates, and then, you know, you vote. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, my -- you know, just looking at the calendar, we've got basically -- depending on when we want to have this decision come to fruition. Our current County Mana ' departure is July 1 st, correct? MR. ISACKSON: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. So -- and the ad so we basically have two -and -a -half months to go through t to go through this process. There isn't a rush, but there ' - COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: There isn't a e d for us to rush -- or panic -- thank you -- is a really d word. So I think -- I don't know. Do we want to -- do yQu go into a full-blown -- I really -- I personally.di, eally want to go into an interview process until after the cre .,Ming and the background checks and things. COMMISSIONER Oh, yes -- COMMISSIONER ASTRO: Oh, yeah, absolutely. COMMISSIONEI#TAYLOR: -- not until after. That was -- when I re the executive summary, I was a little confused. Yeah, that's I uld like. You know, do the background, get all that sq re ay, then we go into interview process and know that ma be e of them are traveling. And, you know, if they want the j can travel, but it might be an idea to carve a day out w would come in and interview with us. AIRMAN McDANIEL: Well, let's make that decision at our next meeting -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: -- at our second meeting in April. Get a report from Amy as to estimation of -- I mean, I can't imagine Page 125 April 12, 2022 that it would take a month or longer than a month before our first meeting in May to actually do the backgrounds and the screening. MS. LYBERG: I think that's a reasonable amount of time to complete this. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. So let's have another discussion on -- at our second meeting in April, and then -- a e a better idea then as to when we can -- when we can actuall ove into the interview process. MS. LYBERG: And, Commissioners, just as a der that after you had made your decisions about who you oing to interview, we'd put information out to each o e elf -schedule. You gave us a list of dates on which -- and yo a time frame by which they were going to interview. We owed them to self -schedule with your executive cgor so that you could get it done by a specific date and be rea Ne, at discussion. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: don't recall -- and that's what we did the last time. But I d t 'nk -- we didn't have anybody traveling from Alaska or re else that was coming, so we have to accommodate if one o se three external candidates doesn't live here, I think Commissigner Taylor's suggestion of a day that -- you know, if they do make the final short list, a day for them to come and interview 'th . I think that would be -- I think that would be a fine way o g r us to better accommodate someone who might be traveling in he interview process. you think, Commissioner Saunders? MISSIONER SAUNDERS: I don't really have any pa is ar thought on that. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think what you laid out is Amy's going to come back in two weeks, kind of let us know what the lay of the land is, and then we can make some decisions then. I Page 126 April 12, 2022 think that makes sense. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. I'm all right with that. So you'll come back to us, then, at our second meeting in April? MS. LYBERG: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Okay. MS. LYBERG: Thank you. �+ CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: So there we have it. MR. ISACKSON: Thank you, Commissioners. O Item # 15 STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS MR. ISACKSON: That brings 15, staff and commission general communicati ave one item, just a reminder, Commissioners, that y workshop is May 3rd. May 3rd. We had talked abou a while back, and I wanted to make sure I offered u the rerhi�i er. I'm thinking that it may have p g Y been overlooked, so May 3rd, your CRA workshop. That's all I have. .* CHAIRM cDANIEL: Thank you, sir. County t rn ? MR. KOW: Nothing, thank you. CHA N McDANIEL: Commissioner LoCastro? SSIONER LoCASTRO: No, sir, nothing. IRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Taylor? MMISSIONER TAYLOR: Nothing. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Commissioner Saunders? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Unfortunately, I have one. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: There's always one. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I have one, too, so you're not Page 127 April 12, 2022 alone. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Hopefully this won't take too long. I've had a couple meetings with some folks concerning the successful sporting events that have been held in Collier County and also some of the problems that have been associated with competing sport events being held at the same time that's resulted in diff rplty in finding hotel rooms and creating a real logistical proble O And the suggested solution -- and I think it's a -- . k it's a good one for us to look at. I don't know all the d I haven't done the research. But in Lee County they do have kind of a its council, and they have a staff person or two that is inv ed with making sure that if there is a sporting event -- a major s i vent at one of their major facilities, it's not competing 11 other sporting event where hotel rooms might become very i i t. We have Paradise Coast going to have a tremendous number of things going ve got pickleball tournaments. Then you've got a lot of o organizations that have a lot of major sporting events, golfing tournaments and things like that. And so the,thought was that, why don't we take a look -- have staff take a to t how they've structured this in Lee County -- that should be irl sy to determine -- come back with just how Lee County ha this, because apparently it's a pretty good model, and kind s some thoughts as to how we might help facilitate Vai . g a lot of these major sporting events in the county without them overlap in a way that creates logistical problems, and thats been the request from hotel operators in particular because they've had periods of time where they just could not accommodate folks coming in for these events. So I would like to ask Board approval to have staff take a look at Page 128 April 12, 2022 the Lee County model for coordinating sporting events in Lee County and see how we might duplicate or look at something similar if it makes some sense. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: I think it's prudent. Totallv prudent. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It's a great job. IZW CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: Totally prudent. I have ution of picking and choosing winners and losers. That's the la caution that comes into play when you have that, but I think ' have multiple people that are doing it and there's a holis ' w to the whole community then -- � COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: The c�ficp is for everybody y p to be winners. CHAIRMAN McDANIEL: A�gr that's the goal. That's the goal. 4� COMMISSIONER TAYLO would agree. I would agree. Thank you. CHAIRMAN McD I just wanted to say thank you, by the way. There was an itN that came through on the consent agenda, F3, 16F3, amend )pe are -- we are contributing to an inaugural event for the Colf County Farm Bureau -- COMMISSIOVR TAYLOR: Yes. CHALRMAN McDANIEL: -- out at the fairgrounds, and it's an inaugural e .} It's the Southwest Florida ag festival and rodeo, as it's s for Friday, April 29th for an evening rodeo and then a aturday for the festival during the day and another evening ro and it's all out at the Collier County Fairgrounds. And I just wan to say congratulations to that organization. And we're all really looking forward to having that -- to having that inaugural event go on. Agriculture -- well, look at the artist in the back. That's a large portion of what we do here. Agriculture's a huge industry in our Page 129 April 12, 2022 community, and I just want to thank you all. And from the director, Matt, the executive director of the Collier County Farm Bureau, I want to say thank you.
