Re: Public petition request from Douglas Loewer regarding: "Collier County has failed to enforce
federal and state OSHA, FDOT & EPA Regulations."
Mr. Loewer:
The County Manager's Office is in receipt of your request to Petition the Board of County
Commissioners.
Perthe information that accompanies the Request to Speak under Public Petition (attached in fullfor
convenience of review), lhe "County Monager will review your request and determine if the Board of
County Commissioners hos the obility to legally oct upon the oction you ore requesting. Finol
determinotion of inclusion of o Public Petition request for Board ogendo inclusion is ot the discretion of
the County Monoger's Office."
Based upon information that you provided stating that this issue is now subject of a "lawsuit filed
September 2022, Case ll-2022-CA-001597-0001-XX," the County Manager has determined that a Public
Petition is not an appropriate agenda item to present under as the issue is pending judicial review.
However, the public may directly address the Commission during ltem 7: Public Comments on Generol
Topics Not on the Current or Future Agenda. No pre-registration or approval is required beyond filling
outaSpeaker'sSlipthatcanbefoundonthetableoutsidetheCommissionChambers. Presentthatto
the meeting announcer who sits to the left of the dais (when facing the dais) prior to the item, and you
will have 3 minutes to speak from the podium once your name is called. The meeting starts promptly at
9 a.m. and you are encouraged to bethere bythattime as ltem 7 occurs early in the agenda.
lf you believe this decision is in error, you may contact County Manager, Amy Patterson, at (239) 252-
8383.
