Information was given on the current situation, where a couple of food trucks do have a business
license and are inspected and how others are not. Complaints have also been given to code
enforcement regarding illegal food vendors in Immokalee.
Mr. Mark Lemke asked Ms. Perez if the trailer near Main Street is allowed to be there. Ms. Perez
said that the owner went through an application process but has not received approval to have this
type of use on the property.
Ms. Andrea Halman asked on a timeline on what code enforcement is doing to help deviate this
matter and what can be done with the trash that is around this trailer. Ms. Perez informed Ms.
Halman that the property owner is responsible for the trash within his property line. Ms. Perez also
provided information on the lengthy process that code enforcement goes through when someone is
given a code violation and how a hearing is done if there is no communication and effort from the
person who’s given the code violation.
Mr. Mike Facundo commented on the trailer and asked what the conflict is about. Ms. Perez said
that the main concern is that the food truck is a storage container and how the trailer is located on a
property that does not allow for this type of conditional use. Mr. Facundo also commented on what
this means for the CRA Board to think of this situation and how they can best implement the Land
Development Code since there is no direct direction to certain matters like food trucks. Brief
discussion was made in Conditional Use, PUD Amendments, and Code issues.

the Department, and it has been a top priority to the get the station restaffed.
Ms. Lupita Vazquez Reyes asked if the Fire Department has looked into creating a path for local
fire fighters and if there is an incentive on creating a summer camp academy for students who are
interested. Staff said that they are looking into this matter. An interest has been made on this topic
from the Board of Fire Commissioners. There have been discussions on creating a scholarship
program for the Immokalee residents, but no decisions have been made. Due to many factors, Staff

Department.

Mr. Jamie Ulmer introduced himself and provided the current progress of the Healthcare Network
in Collier County, specifically providing more details for Immokalee. He provided information on
the unmet healthcare needs in Collier County and provided data on the rise in mortality rates, lack
of health coverage, and childhood health concerns. To inform everyone on the importance of
addressing the rise in mortality rates, Mr. Ulmer said that a grant was received from the Department
of Health to address this matter. Mr. Ulmer further informed everyone in attendance on other issues
like long waitlist, shortage on healthcare providers and limited support for families with special
needs children. He commented on what has been done to help with the shortage on healthcare
providers and said that they have created a medical assistant program to train their employees and
community members to become medical assistants.
Mr. Jamie Ulmer also addressed on Healthcare Network barriers to care and have an understanding
on the lack of healthcare awareness, transportation, cost, language/translation issues, access, and
fears\distrust. Mr. Ulmer commented on the number of patients who walk or ride their bicycles as
transportation in the Immokalee area. Mr. Ulmer informed Ms. Christie Betancourt that he would
like to follow up with her in hopes to establish some other local transportation.
Mr. Jaime Ulmer informed everyone that they are currently in the final stages of their state
appropriation that is currently with the State Governor. Healthcare Network has requested 1.75
million dollars to help complete the 5-million-dollar project for the campus located in Immokalee,
the Marion E. Fether. The campus has been in the community for over 30 years, no renovation have
been made to the building because it was owned by NCH, however Healthcare Network will be
owning this building starting this year, 2024.
He said that all buildings in Naples look alike and showcase the brand of the Network, he would
like to have the same efforts and brand in the Immokalee area. The building will be modernized and
will be redone on the inside. The renovation will be done in six phases, which will take almost 12
to 18 months. They are currently in the final stages of the architect plans in order to conduct the
bidding. They expect to have bids completed by the end of April and start renovation no later than
May or June. There are currently 18 exam rooms to provide care for patients, the renovation will
allow for 31 exams rooms with better utilizing the administrative space used for waiting areas. The
Healthcare Network is doing the best they can to purchase the FSU building that has their pediatrics
and prenatal care, however, since the building belongs to the State, there are many requirements
and procedures they must go through to attain this building.
Mr. Jamie Ulmer presented the idea of having a Healthcare Network in the area of zip code 34120,
which goes through Orange Tree, Naples to Ave Maria. There is no primary care providers near
this area. Healthcare Network sent a proposal to the County to purchase the land to build a
Healthcare Network Center. State appropriations have been given and they have paid for over half
to help build this building.

are hoping to break ground no later than the end of April or May. The building will have a drive
thru pharmacy and many other services.
Mr. Ulmer said that staff is expecting to have many patients in this building, so they are also looking
to address the area of Ave Maria. Ms. Lupita Vazquez asked Mr. Ulmer on the number of patients
who arrive to the Healthcare Network Center in Immokalee who are from Orange Tree and Ave
Maria. Mr. Ulmer followed up and mentioned that there is a couple of patients, however, there will
come a point where patients will choose in which direction they would like to go. They hope that
an option is given to them by having a center close to their area.
Ms. Vazquez Reyes made discussion on whether patients in Immokalee will be able to have the
option to go to the Healthcare Network Center in Orange Tree and have an increased choice of
pediatricians. Mr. Ulmer said that he would like to help everyone understand that there’s no
difference between any of their health centers. His goal is to make sure Immokalee has the same
center as all the other centers in Collier County. Discussion was made on having to create more
access to care like having same day appointments or being able to walk in and be seen. In helping
address this situation, many different methods and ideas are being looked into. Mr. Ulmer provided
information on the reimbursement that providers receive and how this also effects the number of
patients that can be seen.
Mr. Jaime Ulmer presented the mobile units that Healthcare Network have to offer, two mobile
units were already in use, however, two more mobile units were ordered. He provided details on
both new units; one unit will have about three full exams rooms, two can either be dental or medical,
and the third exam room will be medical. This unit can be taken around the area for a full week.
The second new unit is smaller and will be able to travel a bit further, Mr. Ulmer gave a scenario
where during Hurricane seasons, a good number of communities have no health care access. They
will be able to go to the patients instead. He commented on two events that healthcare network will
be attending. They are the presenting sponsor for the 5k walk/run for Lipman Farms. They will also
be Family Health and Wellness Fair on April 13, 2024. Many services and activities will be offered
in this fair.
Ms. Anne Goodnight asked a question in regard to Medicaid and whether there is a limit that comes
from the State or Federal government. Mr. Jaime Ulmer said that a person could have had Medicaid
during the pandemic but could have been put into Medicaid redetermination after Covid. The
standards could have changed. Ms. Anne Goodnight also provided a brief history on the FSU
building and questioned why the community should buy the building back if it was given for the
community.
Mr. Ulmer broke down the current number of staff in the FSU Building and what expense the state
is paying for. He provided details on how Healthcare Network can help with providing services if
the building is ever brought from the State. Ms. Anne Goodnight offered her services to Mr. Ulmer
to help move this matter forward to the State.

Mr. Mike Facundo asked Mr. Jamie Ulmer on the organization of the Healthcare Network. Mr.
Ulmer informed Mr. Facundo that they are a federally qualified health center, which requires them

building. Ms. Christie Betancourt will provide the information.

clinic and working with their Obesity and Child Pre-Diabetes Program. She commented on the

Abundance. She also commented on the importance of the STRIDE program. They are working
with the community, middle and high schoolers, to help local youth get involved and learn on the
healthcare professions. She hopes that whatever the future holds for the FSU building, that they
take into consideration on the efforts FSU have done to make connections and be part of the
community. She also hopes that a relationship is kept with FSU to keep these opportunities for the
community.
Mr. Jamie Ulmer reiterated that the State services offered at the FSU building will not change at
all. He commented on the efforts they are doing to better offer their services and providing the best
relationship and communication with the community and leaders.
Mr. Mark Lemke provided details on a mammogram bus from a company from Tampa. The
company would like to partner up with Department of Health in Immokalee. Mr. Mark Lemke
commented on the idea of Healthcare Network getting a donation for a new mammogram bus for
the Immokalee community and taking it around to where it’s needed. This would be a huge step
moving forward.
Mr. Ulmer said he would take this information back to his team but also commented on the
complexity of having a diagnostic machine, and how regulated it is.
Mr. Lemke also asked what area the Healthcare Network is looking to be located for the Ave Maria
community. Mr. Ulmer said that they are still looking but they’re fully aware that they need to get
into the community. Discussion was also made on transportation. Mr. Ulmer said that there is a van
