THE FLORIDA SENATE SENATOR KATHLEEN PASSIDOMO President January 12, 2023 Commissioner Chris Hall Collier County Commission 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 303 Naples, FL 34112 Dear Commissioner Hall: G3C CAL RMD JAN 12 2023 COlI1ER COUNTY ROANO OF COUNTY COMIONf R$ 44MDJDIFG.I "r,-D effAoa d k L-'7 I am writing to you today to express my support for amending the Collier County Land Development Code to allow for the construction of a new Behavioral Health Center along Golden Gate Parkway. I strongly support the efforts of the David Lawrence Center and Collier County to improve citizens' access to mental health care in the county. David Lawrence Center has seen an increasing number of patients as Collier County continues to grow and as a result they have an increasing need for more space to treat those patients. The new facility is projected to contain one hundred new crisis beds, more than doubling David Lawrence Center's capacity to treat our local areas' most vulnerable and allowing those who need support to stay in their local community. In addition, the new center will act as a central receiving facility for Collier County, providing local law enforcement, governments, hospitals, and citizens immediate, specialized care at a single location. The Golden Gate Parkway location is particularly suited for this purpose due to its central position in the county and proximity to Interstate 75. It is for these reasons that I support the approval of the amendment to the land development code to allow for the construction of a new Behavioral Health Center. cc: Chair Rick LoCastro Commissioner Burt Saunders Commissioner Dan Kowal Commissioner William McDaniel SUITE 409, THE CAPITOL, 404 SOUTH MONROE STREET - TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399-I100 -TELEPHONE (850) 487-5229 Senate's Website: www.flsewle.gov From: Rae Ann Burton To: Collier County Commissioners Subject: 9 A 23295 & 9 B 23592 amending Ordinance Number 2004-41 to build Behavioral Health Center Date: Monday, February 13, 2023 1:22:27 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

The safeties of the nearby residents are risk when a patient is released and not transported back to place of residency. Not to mention the increase in police activity, traffic and noise -from upset patients. Reasons to not approve: 1. Collier County Planning Commissioner board of 5 voted unanimously to deny Project PUDZ-PL20220002221 The following reasons stated by the board: * Not compatible with Neighborhood * Not in the best interest of the Community - there are other locations better suited. * Cautious -if there has to be a 10-Foot wall around the building to separate what takes place in that building whether its commercial, special use, or whatever the classification is, between the neighbors. * Increase noise from patients, security issues, increase police activity to apprehend escaped patients, and warnings to stay inside until located. 2. Plus 37 pages of letters in opposition of PUDZ-PL20220002221 3. Only one letter and it was not from any impacted residents - But the League of Women Voters of Collier County. The writer: Diane Preston Moore does not even live in the Estates so it makes sense that she would want it in the Estates. 4. Approval by Staff that always sides with the developer - how many really live in the Estates. Please consider the concerns, fears and well-being of the nearby Residents; some did not ever get notice of this project. It is not only residents, but a church in the area. This facility needs to be built away from residential area. We - the people by vote gave you -the Board Collier Commissioners -power to protect and provide what is in our best interest. A Behavioral Health Center should not be placed in a Residential community that has to have the property to be rezoned so it can be built. If there was no possible danger to nearby Residents - why the 10-FOOT WALL. Ask yourself the question would I want my family living near this facility? Put it in a commercial area - similar to the Government Blvd, the Jail, not in a Residential area.

Dr. Godshaw's LTE in today's NDN [2/1/23: see pasted below] states all the obvious facts for colocation. Respectfully, Michael V. Reagen, Ph.D. "Approving the central receiving facility at the proposed site near David Lawrence Center makes economic sense. As an economist with 40 plus years in policy analysis experience at the federal, state and local level, I urge the Collier commissioners to approve the location. qr The need to enhance mental health facilities in Collier County is indisputable. The proposed facility would still leave the county short of what health professionals deem adequate for our community. If individuals are not able to receive the care offered by the facility, they are likely to be sent to a facility far from home, or, more likely, the county jail. These are not cost-effective treatment options. Studies indicate the direct cost of treating someone with a mental illness is far less than the cost of keeping the person in a jail or a hospital. A recent study demonstrated that hospital treatment is twice the price of mental health treatment. Similarly, the return on investment in mental health treatment can be 800%. That is, an $8 return for each dollar invested when including the reduction in recidivism rates for minor criminal infractions resulting in jail time, hospital visits and law enforcement efforts and ability to return to a productive life in society. The economics of locating the receiving facility near DLC are unmatched. The land is free, the required professionals are there and it is easily accessible. Building elsewhere would cost the county more and delay the construction resulting in the inadequate treatmentfor those currently in need.

Dear Commissioner Hall, We are opposed to the re -zoning of the vacant 5 acre tract from "Estates Residential" to "Institutional" for the purpose of building a 64,000 sq ft 102 bed Behavior Health Central Receiving facility. We have lived in our home for 36 years and have had numerous problems with the existing DLC facility..Automated phone messages from the Sheriff Dept to"go inside and shelter in place until told otherwise", a K9 unit going through our properties and inside our shed looking for an escaped patient, helicopters hovering overhead looking for escaped patients ans sirens blaring day and night delivering new patients. If you are wondering how did this get so far without pushback from the neighbors it is because we were NEVER notified prior to April 2022 inviting us to the very first NIM meeting. Once we were informed of the plans for this parcel of land we joined forces as a neighborhood to oppose this being built in our "Residential" neighborhood due to the existing problems we have experienced with DLC patients and the existing facility. When the site was selected and approved by the BCC in February the neighbors were NEVER notified of anything happening with this tract of land. Therefore, you had no public opposition. Something isn't sitting well with us the way this has been pushed through and handled without the neighbors being properly notified. We have worked hard all our lives to reap the rewards for hard work. And now what? Please find a more suitable location for this facility.

I understand that you will be voting on the location of the proposed Central Receiving Facility (CRF) at your February 14 BCC meeting. I hope that you will approve the five acre site near the David Lawrence Center that will be donated by the DLC. The proposed facility is extremely important to better address the mental health and addiction problem in our community. Past County staff and BCC's have supported the choice of the subject five acres as being the best and most logical location for the CRF. I understand that some neighbors don't want this building in their proximity. However, if every facility designed for the common good of the community was blocked by NIMBY complaints, we'd have no roads, hospitals, jails, schools, etc. Please do the right thing and move this project forward.

Honorable Commissioners, I write to you as a community citizen of Naples and SWFL for almost a decade. I am also a mentor, trusted friend and life guide to Collier County youth and families who need more personal, successful and sustainable alternatives to mental health services currently being provided. Let me share a couple of true stories to illustrate the need for engaging and investing in collaborative, compassionate people on purpose, AND NOT in another bricks and mortar or pharma-led project that produces greater societal stigma. 1. A 31-year old college educated daughter of multi -millionaire family, completed her doctorate, still sought life purpose, struggled with catatonic episodes from inappropriate self regulation of her medication. She had multiple breakdowns and Baker Acts since her college graduation and a relationship where she was rejected. I was "her person" on two NCH ER admittances. Her last Baker Act proved successful, correcting her lithium dosage thanks to the combination of 30-day case management and counseling her in a safe, loving faith community. She was allowed by her faith community to attend and complete a ministry certification to now serve others on their healing journeys. Her story is one of redemption and transformation, not too dissimilar to the pathways at St. Matthew's Justin's and Jill's Place campuses for healing and transforming lives. 2. A 14-year old boy, exposed to repeat street gang violence of the Bloods and Cyrpts in NYC at the age of 5 confessed to me on a weekend youth retreat that he had a lot of pain due to many violent images from his past also leading him toward suicidal ideation. He also shared that he had actually met and mentored a 10-year old with the same tendencies at a camp the prior summer. The 14-year old sought to intercede for the 10-year old who confessed he may use the available fishing knife at camp to end his life. The thing both boys had in common was that admittedly, their parents were not caring, listening and noticing them and their pain ... not believing their stories. These two young boys simply needed a safe adult to believe in them, to open up to, share their burden and receive consistent encouragement to stay in community and not isolate due to their otherwise mental challenges ...both boys found their healing and peace in faith -based led programs like a camp, retreat or youth fellowship to connect safely and lovingly among safe adults and safe peers ... things they seek also after or during the school day, but find it difficult because of bullying, gender/identify indoctrination, stigmatized when asking for help, and isolation to the degree that they land on this false truth, "no one will miss me if I'm gone!' The common element of these was seeking and finding a safe human connection, to be accepted, heard, valued was the primary need. The human response of pain is behavioral, an outburst. silent debression and suicidal ideation. or it is a chasing after God for peace. When the psyche and soul are hurting and injured, due to abandonment, abuse, addiction, grief or trauma, human nature, especially among young people, is to cry out to our Creator when a parent, authority, friend or loved one is not hearing and helping, but harming them further. And, when they sense God is absent or angry, as well as their parents/guardians being absent or angry, they turn to escape and fantasy through games, unsafe alliances, drugs, and risky behaviors such as illicit and unprotected sex with a desire to be caught, noticed, even punished to feel something. Confirm this fact pattern within our Juvenile Justice system and how cycles of youth anxiety, depression and suicide ideation escalate repeatedly to find "their person" who will love and accept them, their good, bad and ugly. Please take the time to explore and invest in a healthier solution than government or tax funded facilities generating profits and stigmas more so than sustainable health for our next generation. Why not hear from our local faith community counseling centers, concerned parents, social workers and youth pastors who experience best solutions partnering among the faith sector, private sector and non-profit sector. No individual sector should be sidelined and you seem to continue to leave out the one sector that contributes the most resources through intangible and tangible support to this need ... the faith sector. You are well aware that our community and region has plenty of private resources for a collaborative development of a campus, perhaps an existing one for outdoor/indoor type experiences serving the needs of parents, families and individuals seeking safe and healthy solutions without the societal stigmas of hospitalization. Another "intake facility" cannot be the answer, but an interdisciplinary model using faith -based centers and vacant properties (private commercial developers) to educate, equip and encourage youth individually through age -relevant activities and events, together with their parents, will bring sustainable and transformational healing. Using public tax dollars and a broken government system fails our next generation miserably and needs to be disrupted by voting "NO!" to this intake facility. Let's please redirect land use and funds for a more collaborative, responsible and sustainable outcome toward our community's youth, families and mental health.

I know how much time and effort goes into serving on the Commission, and I am grateful for those who share so much of themselves to strengthen our community and help it to grow responsibly. I am writing today as a representative of the Collier Coalition for Healthy Minds. Our Coalition includes healthcare, social service, legal and justice system professionals, and those touched personally by the challenges of a behavioral health condition; all of whom are highly dedicated advocates charged with mobilizing Collier County's first -ever, five-year mental health and addiction services strategic plan. The core of the Coalition grew from the 19 community leaders who served on the committee appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in 2019 to help them create that plan. The BCC knew Collier County needed a community response to address the growing mental health and addiction problems revealed in the opioid epidemic and suicide crisis, and compounded by the coronavirus pandemic, and most recently, Hurricane Ian. The #11 priority in that plan is to build and operate a Central Receiving Facility (CRF) to serve persons experiencing an acute mental health or substance use crisis. The CRF is intended to be a no -wrong -door, single point of entry into a coordinated system of treatment. It will be there 24/7/365 to provide this specialized behavioral health care to our community, whether people self -refer, are brought by their families, or are escorted by the Sheriff's Office. (Though it is important to note that a shift away from routinely using law enforcement for this purpose is another of the 6 priorities identified in the Strategic Plan.) The BCC set aside $25 million from the sale surtax funds to construct this facility. Through a yearlong, diligent process, County staff and consultants evaluated several potential sites for the Collier Central Receiving Facility. In 2021, Commissioners voted to approve the five -acres near DLC as the location. Cost, continuity of care, operational benefits, its central, known location for crisis services were all considered. In addition, the land was being donated by DLC to the County saving taxpayers by allowing the surtax to fund the increasing construction costs and not the land acquisition. After opposition from several DLC neighbors last November, the Planning Commission recommended not to approve the location near DLC sighting a risk to their safety and diminishing property value. They did this, despite the fact that DLC has been in this neighborhood for nearly 50 years providing these services and in 2007, the Commissioners unanimously approved a subdistrict allowing for the expansion and continued operation of DLC's services at that location. At your BOCC meeting on February 14, you will hear from these neighbors. A vote no, would not only delay the project by years and cost taxpayers considerably more money, it will result in lives lost, delays in treatment, diminished community well-being and present even greater challenges for Collier County to provide adequate care to our most vulnerable citizens. The Coalition strongly supports this petition and endorses the BCC's unanimous choice of this site on which to construct the CRF. See you February 14thI In gratitude, Trista Meister 239-785-3362 1 Trista(@MindfulMarketingFL.com Priority 6: Prevention, Education and Advocacy Committee Co -Chair COLLIER COALITION FOR Healthy M inds 41 0�f From: To: JarvisLouise HallChris; Penelope Jean Hayes; isanderson4(cbaol.com; starfire27Ca)comcast.net Cc: Dot Hall (dot(c chrishallna len s.com) Subject: Commissioner Hall meeting with Penelope Hayes, Sally Anderson, Elizabeth Block re DLC Expansion Start: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 9:30:00 AM End: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 10:00:00 AM Location: District 2 office - 2335 Orange Blossom Drive Directions to District 2 Office The satellite office for District 2 is in the North Collier Government Center, located at 2335 Orange Blossom Drive.

My wife and I who reside on the south side of Golden Gate Parkway just opposite the 5-acre parcel being considered for rezoning. We actually question how the proposal has even gotten this far. The parcel is a part of a "promised" Greenway according to the 1-75 interchange Master Plan. THE TRAFFIC ON GOLDEN GATE PARKWAY TRAVELING WEST AT THE EXACT ENTRY LOCATION IS REGULARLY BACKED -UP ( a choke point ) DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC EVERY MORNING. WE MUST REGULARLY DRIVE EAST AND U-TURN OR DRIVE SOUTH TO RADIO ROAD TO DRIVE EAST. The traffic on Golden Gate traveling east is also a nightmare most afternoons. The corridor is already maxed-out with regular traffic accidents caused by the excessive volume and attempts by drivers to get to 1-75 access ramps. The existing dreadful traffic situation has no solution in the works "as is". The proposed large facility will make existing traffic that is already bad much worse. The facility will create tremendous additional traffic volume at an existing choke point. Patients, ambulances, professional physicians and nurses, employees, patient visitors, and servicing vendors. What a mess, what a mess, what a mess! The David Lawrence Center has a great reputation, and such a facility would surely provide necessary and needed services. But previous promises should be honored! Rezoning this residential property is not supported by the people who live here!

Being a priest in Naples for the past 15 years, I've used DLC on numerous occasions via referral of people in need. It is a much needed and well run facility, where people in mental health crisis are taken care of and adequate security measures are in place. Neighbors have nothing to fear from such a needed expansion that will take more mentally ill out of their neighborhoods, off the streets and out of prisons, and provide needed treatment in a caring and secure environment. I recommend this commission prioritize caring for the mentally ill that has too long been neglected by those in authority by providing more facilities for those in desperate need of them.

Congratulations to the new commissioners and thank your for continued service to the continuing commissioners. I am an Episcopal priest and have lived and served 2 churches in Collier County for 23 years. I know what happens to people who do not have access to mental health services. The David Lawrence Center is an amazing organization and facility. With the mental health crisis becoming more and more acute, both here and across our country we need DLC more than ever! With NCH closing their "psych ward" it is now the only place in Naples to receive this care. I urge you to vote to allow the new DLC facility to be built in its intended location We voted for the tax increase several years ago, knowing where this facility was going to be built. My understanding is that some of those objecting to the building are new to the area - having bought homes near DLC. The people who will be served by DLC will not be a danger to anyone. In fact, with the help and services they will receive, they will be much less of a danger than without that help. Collier County needs this facility yesterday. Please do all in your power to see it built and operational without any further delay. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend tomorrow's meeting in person as I will be out of town. VOTE "yes" on the DLC plans, for the good of all citizens of Collier County.

Dear Mr. Hall, I rarely encourage my elected officials to vote one way or the another, as I believe we elect people with sound judgment and practicality, and trust them to do what is right for the health and well being of our community. In this case, I am making an exception because the benefits of moving forward on the DLC site, compared to not doing so are hard to quantify (as is often the case with mental health efforts). I believe that the approval of this location now is critical to the well being of troubled citizens. As a culture we have done so little and the time to start is now. A yes vote is urgently needed now; it will never be less expensive or less urgent. Any further delays can and will hurt many many people; Whereas voting "no" hurts very few.

Gentlemen: There is overwhelming need for expanding the access to mental health treatment in Collier County. This has been true for a long time, but the stresses of the pandemic, the hurricane, and the shortage of affordable housing in particular have added exponentially to the importance. In addition, NCH's sudden decision to close down its inpatient behavioral health unit has again exacerbated the urgency. A number of years ago, the David Lawrence Center (DLC) proposed adding to its existing facility in Golden Gate, which would increase the number of crisis stabilization beds for both adults and children. After a through review of potential sites for DLC's new building, there was agreement that an adjacent property was the best, both in terms of cost and also the integration of inpatient and outpatient treatment. The temporary sales tax increase was passed to raise the necessary funds. Now the Planning Commission has shot down the project, based on complaints from neighbors. I live in Commissioner Hall's district but I'm writing to all of you because this is such a critical issue. I don't know about you, but I don't know a single family who hasn't been touched in some way by a mental health problem and/or substance abuse. Certainly mine has, with a parent and brother with alcohol dependence, and multiple hospitalizations for depression for both myself and my son, who ultimately took his life 7 years ago. When my son or I needed emergency care, we could go to NCH, but that is no longer an option. Instead, people have to find their way to DLC's facility in Golden Gate. Some will need to be admitted for stabilization or detox, others referred to outpatient care. Why would it make any sense to have one facility in Golden Gate, easily accessible, and another potentially miles away, wherever you could find an affordable property without neighbors who are going to object? Exiling people in crisis to some remote location and then sending them back in town for their ongoing therapy is not efficient, but it is also not sensitive or compassionate. Just in terms of dollars, the original plan is the most cost-effective, which should also be a major concern for you. NCH's emergency rooms are and have always been open to anyone needing care, and that includes folks who are not "nice people," possibly homeless, possibly with substance abuse issues, possibly unidentified perpetrators of crimes. They are frequently discharged after they've been stitched up or given their prescriptions or physician referrals, etc., and they walk out of the hospital both in old Naples and on Immokalee Rd. They may well have no transportation, so they're on foot, walking to who knows where, but in my nearly 50 years of residence in Collier County I am not aware of rampant crime in the neighborhoods around the hospitals. It seems that the potential height of a new building is of more concern than burglaries or any violent crime. PLEASE give your approval to DLC's project. There are so many citizens of Collier County, many of them our children or grandchildren, who are in dire need of help. The situation gets worse year by year as our population soars, both just because there are more of us here but because the stressors keep increasing with pandemic and hurricane related interruptions to schooling, employment, and housing. The problem is not going to go away, it must be addressed. I feel sure that DLC will do everything in its power to be a good neighbor to its nearby residents, but it must be enabled to deliver the care we all need. Thank you.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner, I live across from the David Lawrence Center and have for 13 years. I know how amazing the center is and I so appreciate that our community has a place like this! I know they are needed and are growing more and more in need everyday. With that said... I have 3 young boys that are outside, playing everyday. I have a friend in law enforcement and on several occasions, he has called me to tell me to stay inside. He is now retired and I don't get the luxury of finding out this information as readily! But just a month ago, in the middle of the day, a stranger was on my property and my son was home. There was a hit and run, and he was running and the man was arrested on my property. I hate to think that more incidents like this will be occurring. So, please do not approve the expansion of the David Lawrence center on the Golden Gate Parkway location. It puts our family more at risk and all the little schools (there are THREE within just ONE block of the DLC). Also the road is already for heavily traveled by residents traveling into Golden Gate city and the estates. At times it is gridlock. The government complex is a much better location for this expansion and makes sense.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: I respectfully request that you vote YES for the expansion of the David Lawrence Center (DLC) central receiving facility adjacent to its current location. You can tell a lot about a community by the way it cares for its most vulnerable residents - the mentally ill and victims of substance abuse. For nearly 50 years, DLC has been caring for these residents of Collier County. And, for nearly two decades Collier County has shown that these issues are a top priority. - 2007. Property adjacent to DLC campus on Golden Gate was zoned for institutional use including care facilities. - 2018. BOCC created Ad Hoc Mental Health and Advisory Committee (Resolution 2018-232). - 2019. Ad Hoc Committee presented 5 Year Strategic Plan to BOCC. - 2021. February, 2021, BOCC unanimously selected Golden Gate site for DLC expansion. May, 2021, BOCC approved series of agreements to build $25 million center, on selected site. - 2022. A small, vocal group of neighbors (who had purchased their property after 2007 zoning decision) objected. In Fall, 2022, CC Planning Commission denied plans for expanded facility, despite the support of Collier County Sheriff's Office and plan modifications to address the neighbors' concerns. There is an urgent humanitarian need for an expanded DLC facility. Building it on this site (as always intended and agreed upon) will result in increased efficiencies and reduced operation costs. Delaying its construction will result in extra costs and increased safety concerns for the entire County, as well as degradation of services. Vote YES and confirm that Collier County stands behind its long term commitments! Thank you. Libbie Bramson 353 Carlton Place Naples.

February 7, 2023 Dear Michael Dalby, feel your support for a private business location and zoning of such a massive building is misguided. This vote is about one thing. Changing residential zoning to commercial. It's a vote about location only. None of the neighbors are against mental health treatment, just the opposite. We voted for the 1 % tax, and all support the need for mental health. The Jacob Site Evaluation study preferred 3 locations at the Collier County Government Center over the DLC campus. Please read why the DLC campus is not the proper location for such a huge building! 1-75 Interchange and surrounding land uses: Resulting from the State's approval to fund and construct the 1-75 Interchange at Golden Gate Parkway, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Resolution 2001-56 establishing an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to provide recommendations on the appearance and landscaping of the interchange. The Committee was specifically tasked with creating an "overlay" district for the interchange to: 1) minimize impacts to property owners; 2) preserve the residential character of the area; and 3) establish landscaping provisions consistent with creating a "gateway" into Naples and Golden Gate. GGAMP Re -study Committee - GGAMP Policy 5.2.3 and revisions to the Estates, Conditional Uses Subdistrict: The GGAMP Re -study Committee was formed, in part, to study the land use needs of the Golden Gate Community, such as commercial, community facility and institutional uses. County staff worked with the Committee to identify appropriate areas to locate new commercial development and conditional uses within the Estates and Golden Gate City. Committee recommendations to the BCC included added provisions for conditional use development, expansion and creation of Neighborhood Centers within the Estates, and the expansion and creation of commercial/mixed-use subdistricts within Golden Gate City. The Re -study Committee also identified areas that were inappropriate for new commercial development and conditional use development. One such area identified by the Committee was the Golden Gate Parkway corridor, between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. In 2003, the Re -study Committee met with "I-75/Golden Gate Parkway" Ad hoc Committee members to discuss desired land uses for the area surrounding the interchange. As a result, the Re -study Committee recommended to the BCC provisions that would prohibit new commercial and conditional use development along Golden Gate Parkway in the Estates. Committee recommendations for expanded commercial and conditional use opportunities and the restriction of these uses in certain areas governed by the Master Plan were adopted by the BCC in 2003 and 2004, as part of the Phased Re -study Amendments to the GGAMP. The proposed subdistrict is not consistent with the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Boulevard Special Provisions section of the GGAMP, which prohibits new conditional uses on properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. Recommendations were made: Limit the development and uses on Tract 66 to stormwater management and preservation areas. Limit the development and uses on Tract 59 to church, church -related uses (e.g. church operated school and/or day care), and other institutional uses of the same or less intensity as church use; and, Limit the development and uses on Tracts 43 and 50 to the existing David Lawrence Center use and to the amount of building expansion that could have occurred on those two tracts had 2.2 acres not been conveyed for right-of-way This is an abuse of your power as President of the Naples Chamber and we, the residents of Collier County, demand you retract this and admit to your members that you stepped out of line.

Hello Collier County Commissioner, My name is Ryan Newman and I am a student from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am writing to you today to urge you to vote YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. It is crucial for our community that this facility is approved by you and your fellow commissioners, now. DLC simply does not have enough bed space to house our fellow community members that are in need. DLC being a vital mental health resource in our community for over 50 years has shown the public good that their facilities provide. As a member of the Collier County Board of Commissioners you have the ability to support the expansion of the dire resources needed in our community, right now. The new central receiving facility's location being near DLC will improve the efficiency and collaboration needed to address the ongoing mental health issues our community members are facing. Some may have a "not in our backyard" mentality which shows a lack of empathy, care, and understanding for our community's current and ongoing mental health needs and issues. I have witnessed many of my fellow students and community members struggle with their mental health and have heard of students needing the resources DLC provides. You have the opportunity to make a lifelong and lifesaving impact on our community by voting YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. I hope that you see this need and join your fellow community members in supporting the mental health needs of our community, now. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community!

Dear Commissioner Hall, Thank you very much for your service to the Collier County community, including those with mental illnesses and addiction. As you are aware, our community has seen a dramatic increase in individuals needing help in these areas. I know firsthand as a chaplain at NCH where many of these individuals come to our Emergency Departments needing compassionate and specialized care. In recent years, our behavioral health floor was closed, and our healthcare system established a new partnership with David Lawrence Center. However, the more I hear from patients, their families and colleagues, the more it saddens me that there are not enough beds to care for all those in need in our area. This is an emotional, behavioral, physical and spiritual barrier for these patients and families. Not to mention the impact on our hospital resources and severe disservice to these patients as they await a facility that can attend to their needs. This is why I am taking the time to write to you and invite you to say yes to the new central receiving facility location of David Lawrence Center. This new location will create a significant impact that will benefit our county in tremendous ways thus enabling our hospitals to better serve more people with different illnesses. My hope is that you will not only recognize the importance of mental health but also act on it by saying yes to saving lives now at the David Lawrence Center. Your task in balancing the many needs of our community is a difficult one. Yet, I believe that our community's mental health impacts so many areas and is worthy of our investment. Thank you for supporting our beautiful community and caring for humankind in this way. Peace and blessings, Rev. Vanessa Fletcher, MDiv Staff Chaplain I NCH Spiritual Care From: Jeanne L.

Dear Commissioner Hall: I am writing today to voice my support for the Central Receiving facility to be run by the David Lawrence Center. I know we (you, in particular) have many issues to address in Collier County. But, unlike the affordable housing mountain to climb, this mental health crisis issue has a built-in solution, one that has previous approval and funding mechanism. I feel we have a great resource in the DLC. However, it is bursting at the seams with demand, unfortunately. The answer is the expansion that was proposed several years ago and voted through. We need this facility to meet the needs of the growing county and, sadly, the mental health strain that we are witnessing. Please place your support behind this proposal with a vote to proceed. I pray that neither your family members nor mine would ever need to use this resource, but, I'd much rather it be at -the -ready if any do. And, Lord knows, there are many people who need to use it now. Thank you for your stewardship of our county. Theo Etzel Partner at Conditioned Air Company W.

I am a resident of Collier County for fifty years and at this location 5890 Painted Leaf Ln for thirty of those years! It is so very wrong that my government is trying to rezone a residential area to commercial. Just living this many years behind the current David Lawrence has been awful and I can't imagine what it will be like after the expansion. Knowing that there are other locations that is alot more appropriate for this to be built. It's inconceivable to me that the consideration of all these families would be ignored. I have seen this town make it impossible for us working class people to afford living here thanks to the powers that be be ruled by greed and money. I never even imagined that my Children and Grandchildren would never even be able to afford living in Golden Gate! It's so wrong and to expand a Mental Institution in a family residential area is very wrong. The current DLC has been very difficult to live near and I seriously wonder which one of the Council members would want to have it in their back yard. We are begging you to reconsider changing the zoning to expand DLC.

Dear Mr. Hall, The following is to express our discontent regarding the proposed location for the expansion of the David Lawrence Center on Golden Gate Pkwy. Our concern is that this expansion will intensify the current problems that already exist in our neighborhood such as trespassing, noise from the first responders as they arrive (which is multiple times a day) and trash which is thrown over the wall on our property. We are also highly concerned with the safety of our children with these individuals wandering around our neighborhood. Please reconsider the new expansion of DLC from the Golden Gate location to a different one.

An emergency facility like this that can save lives, offer treatment locally and that was voted on to be paid for by taxpayers, should be supported.

I offer the following: • Our county -wide law enforcement element (CCSO, NPD, MPD, etc.) is familiar with the current more geographically centered (relative to county geography) DLC location away from primary traffic patterns, 9 law enforcement elements understand the current protocols for reception which would merely require minor amendments to policy and procedures at the site proposed, • traffic generation (traffic congestion) would be obviated when compared to re -siting on property at highly congested Airport/Pulling Road and U.S. 41, near the primary jail facility (a known traffic generator with an inherent facility parking problem), • there should be no or reduced personal stigmatism/labeling associated with visitors and patients received at the less publicly visible proposed DLC site (rather than the much higher public profile main jail and county government facilities), • all infrastructure and professional services (food services, metering, property maintenance equipment, utilities, professional staff, etc.) are already lawfully permitted and in operational mode at the current DLC location (no wholesale acquisition of equipment required or remote service delivery of food, files, medications, professional staff travel, etc.), • the current DLC siting proposal is less exposed to vagaries of weather being located away from the coastal flood zones (flooding and wind damage in major storm events) which could affect security, storage of patient information (hard copy and electronic), service delivery downtime, etc. inherent in major weather events. As the Collier County Sheriff's Office SWAT Commander for 7+ years (resolving incidents involving persons in crisis, barricaded subjects, and suicidal persons) and elected Sheriff for 20 years I do not recall any security breaches or major security concerns at the current DLC location (contrary to recent concerns that have been expressed). I served with county leadership on the DLC board for many years and consolidating mental health services on a single site was a major discussion within the board meeting agendas. The economic and logistical arguments for co -location remain compelling and unrefuted. Unless and until some persuasive rationale can be made to alter this long serving and successful operation at its current location, I remain convinced we properly sited the current facility. We should stay the course and recognize the inherent benefits of co -location.

Very Intelligent Folks <Dist.VerylntelligentFolks(@mikereagen.com> Subject: Approve site for mental health center Dear Commissioners: Please approve the DLC site for the new Central Receiving Facility. Dr. Godshaw's LTE in today's NDN [2/1/23: see pasted below] states all the obvious facts for colocation. Respectfully, Michael V. Reagen, Ph.D. "Approving the central receiving facility at the proposed site near David Lawrence Center makes economic sense. As an economist with 40 plus years in policy analysis experience at the federal, state and local level, I urge the Collier commissioners to approve the location. The need to enhance mental health facilities in Collier County is indisputable. The proposed facility would still leave the county short of what health professionals deem adequate for our community. If individuals are not able to receive the care offered by the facility, they are likely to be sent to a facility far from home, or, more likely, the county jail. These are not cost-effective treatment options. Studies indicate the direct cost of treating someone with a mental illness is far less than the cost of keeping the person in a jail or a hospital. A recent study demonstrated that hospital treatment is twice the price of mental health treatment. Similarly, the return on investment in mental health treatment can be 800%. That is, an $8 return for each dollar invested when including the reduction in recidivism rates for minor criminal infractions resulting in jail time, hospital visits and law enforcement efforts and ability to return to a productive life in society. The economics of locating the receiving facility near DLC are unmatched. The land is free, the required professionals are there and it is easily accessible. Building elsewhere would cost the county more and delay the construction resulting in the inadequate treatmentfor those currently in need.

I am writing to you as one of the nations' leading professional authorities on the opioid crisis and mental health as the following (and attached) will attest to: https://www.globenewswire.com/news- release/2021/12/21/2356055/0/en/SCRIPPS-SAFE-S-CH RISTOPHER-VON-ZWEHL-HONORED-WITH- NATIONAL-ASSOCIATION-OF-STATE-CONTROLLED-SUBSTANCES-AUTHORITIES-2021-PRESI DENT-S- AWARD.html Scripps Safe (SCRP), headquartered in Naples, FI (in your district) is about to go public on the NSADAQ as billions of taxpayer's dollars are being spent to fight this country's greatest crisis, the mental health of all its citizens. Some 108,000 people died of a drug overdose alone last year, and another 280,000+ were saved by a first responder and/ or in a hospital emergency room. Those people will likely re -lapse unless they have access to critical, holistic community services such as those offered by the David Lawrence Center. No family (especially after the COIVD pandemic locked everyone in) has gone untouched by severe mental health issues.

I am writing to you today to urge you to vote YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. It is crucial for our community that this facility is approved by you and your fellow commissioners, now. DLC simply does not have enough bed space to house our fellow community members that are in need. DLC, being a vital mental health resource in our community for over 50 years, has shown the public good that their facilities provide. As a member of the Collier County Board of Commissioners you have the ability to support the expansion of the dire resources needed in our community, right now. The new central receiving facility's location being near DLC will improve the efficiency and collaboration needed to address the ongoing mental health issues our community members are facing. Some may have a "not in our backyard" mentality which shows a lack of empathy, care, and understanding for our community's current and ongoing mental health needs and issues. I have witnessed many of my fellow students and community members struggle with their mental health and have heard of students needing the resources DLC provides. You have the opportunity to make a lifelong and lifesaving impact on our community by voting YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. I hope that you see this need and join your fellow community members in supporting the mental health needs of our community, now. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community!

No one knew about these plans or your votes, so you heard no feedback. More citizens are becoming more aware, but still a fraction of our neighborhood even knows what the DLC is proposing. I was born and raised here in Naples. I remember the David Lawrence being built on the outskirts of town. I am still in contact with some of the Bathey family (the original DLC founding family). I have spent thousands of my own money in DLC programs helping my daughters' father and his struggle with addiction after a series of unavoidable surgeries. My once husband, best friend and business partner was released from NCH an opioid junkie. He then spiraled into an alcoholic and anything he could get his hands on drug addict. The doctors that prescribed his drugs had no advice or treatment plan for his overall recovery. He was "fixed" as far as a surgeon was concerned. I had to find help on my own through many years of struggle. I eventually found a sense of peace and serenity when I was strong enough to move away. To my now home on Painted Leaf Lane. I agree there is a growing need for mental health and addiction awareness. I do not agree with the proposed location. I understand there is never a good spot... I don't want to see a 64,000sq.ft. mental institution when I pull into my driveway and you don't want to see it when you pull into work. Pardon my frankness, as there is no ideal location, but 3 other locations were proposed to be better suited than the one DLC intends to settle. Two of these top locations are located at the CCGC, so do the folks there just not want to see a mental institution when they go to and from work? I hope you have time to skim through some of the Jacobson Engineering reports and documents troubling me enough to reach out to you again, hopefully before tomorrow's vote. Thank you for your service, then and now. It's greatly appreciated.

The desire to expand mental health facility space has been a long -known topic... but only recently did we receive some pushback from a few citizens about the previous voted on location. This issue will come to Commissioners this Tuesday, Feb 14th to hear from those with concerns... thus -- your input is extremely valuable. As a retired US Air Force Colonel... and with my many years as the Chief Operating Officer for Physicians Regional Medical Center in East Naples... I have been a strong supporter of the David Lawrence Center mission... and I'm very aware of the increased mental health capability we have long -since needed in Collier County. When we voted previously (after considering a multitude of other locations) I had no reservations putting this new County facility in the location currently identified. There is rarely a perfect location for anything... but the current site (already voted on and approved more than a year ago) continues to have my support. HOWEVER, I look forward to hearing from all sides with any new or additional issues concerning the location -- to render the best final decision. My County Commissioner door has been wide open... and I have met with every single citizen or group who wanted to present and discuss their views with me (pro and con)... and I will continue to do so up until the meeting on February 14. During Tuesday's meeting, as Chairman I will ensure everyone is heard. In the end, we will move forward in a definitive direction on this long -overdue increased need in our community. I appreciate your candid thoughts... and for being a concerned citizen... I am as well. ...Rick RICK LOCASTRO Collier County Commissioner District 1 SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER HERE!

Good Morning - Please remember me tomorrow and know that I am not against mental health treatment, I am against an additional 64,000sq.ft. mental institution feet from my daughter's bus stop. I am against my tax paying dollars going toward a 2 year, county wide study and the research tossed aside so the DLC can somehow settle the 4th best site... not site #1, 2 or 3. Nobody ever heard from the neighbors of the DLC before now because no one ever asked or listened. My daughters and I are survivors of mental health, alcoholism and opioid addiction. I bought on Painted Leaf Ln in December 2015. 1 had to work 3 jobs in order to afford a decent home in a nice neighborhood within a good school district. My daughters were 4 and 7 years old and our lives were forever changed. I would never have purchased my home had I known what the DLC was proposing to grow into... and now I can't afford anything anywhere in Collier County no matter how many jobs i work. While I have first hand understanding and compassion, my daughters and I deserve peace too. Please hear my plea and consider my family when casting your votes.

The current DLC backs up to a residential estates area, not an institutional or commercial area and does not meet the Priorities outlined in BCC Approved Five -Year Strategic Plan 12.10.2019 (14775 : Collier County Mental Health Facility) / Jacobs Engineering documents. The amount of school locations alone can attest to the residential nature of DLC's current location - There are over 16 schools within an approximate 3 mile radius near the current DLC location. • 0.4 Miles - Kiddy Korral (Preschool) • 0.4 Miles - The ABLE Academy (Developmentally delayed / special needs learners - Ages 3-22) • 0.8 Miles - BridgePrep Academy of Collier (Public Charter) • 1.0 Miles — Childs Path Day School (Pre School) • 1.2 Miles - South Breeze Daycare (PreSchool) • 1.2 Miles —St. John Newman High School (Private Catholic) • 1.5 Miles - Golden Gate Community Park • 1.5 Miles —St. Elizabeth Seton School (Private Catholic) • 1.7 Miles - Nicaea Academy Early Learning • 1.9 Miles - Golden Gate Middle School • 2.1 Miles - Grace Community School • 2.6 Miles - Herbert Cambridge Elementary • 2.7 Miles - Golden Gate Elementary • 2.7 Miles - Golden Terrace Elementary North • 2.8 Miles - Calusa Park Elementary • 3.2 Miles - Lavern Gaynor Elementary (LGE) There are 7 schools within a 3 mile radius from the proposed location near the Collier County Government Center (CCGC), Including Collier County's Vocational and Alternative Schools, 'New Beginnings' and 'Pheonix'. These Alternative schools exist to help educate our mentally / emotionally / behaviorally troubled youth (previously Baker Acted). • 0.7 Miles - Shadowlawn Elementary School • 1.4 Miles - Sunshine Learning Center (PreSchool) • 1.4 Miles - Collier County Vocational Tech Center: • Lorenzo Walker Technical School (High School and Adult Education) • Collier Alternative School and Phoenix Programs (helping youth with mental/behavioral/environmental issues while getting an education) • 1.6 Miles - Educational Pathways Academy (Private Grades 1-11) • 1.7 Miles - East Naples Middle School • 2.2 Miles - Gulfcoast Charter Academy South • 2.4 Miles - Avalon Elementary If this expansion is to help the Baker Acted and mentally ill, why is the Planning Committee in favor of a location so far away from well -established DLC community resources, like the St. Matthew's House (Lulu's Kitchen —4 Miles from CCGC, Justin's Place (1 Mile from CCGC, Collier County Vocational and Alternative Schools (1.4 Miles from CCGC) and criminal collaboration with Collier County Gov? The Collier County Government Center (CCGC) is the most suitable site per Jacobs Engineering and the HUB of County resources and government. People get married, file for divorce, pull old records, request birth certificates, file deeds, meet with judges, attorneys, mediators - it is a resource complex. The Jail is a fraction of this large complex, where resources and DLC can be mutually beneficial (Priority #3 — Data Collaborative for Data Sharing, Collection and Outcomes Reporting and Priority #4 - Increase the Capacity and Effectiveness of Justice System Response for Persons Experiencing Serious Mental Illness and/or Substance Use Disorders). Examples: Ex #1- When drug and alcohol arrests come into the jail, DLC will be onsite to make sure withdrawal symptoms do not pose a fatal health risk to themselves and others. Ex #2 - When DLC experiences more challenging intake procedures; the sheriffs' at the CCGC are also there to assist if needed. There are legal consequences when any individual becomes unsafe to themselves or others. I don't see the Proposed CCGC location and proximity to the Jail being a deterrent for treatment, but a deterrent for unnecessary loitering (often seen near the current DLC location). It's not a stigma - Most individuals (mentally well or not) know jail is a consequence of someone's harmful actions and should be an incentive for the mentally ill to stay on their prescribed treatment path. At the CCGC proposed location - there is nowhere for patients to loiter/trespass, no easily accessible residential neighborhoods or immediate access to 175. The CCGC already has many community safety measures in place and the land is available for institutional use. Based on the Jacobs study, "CCGC Site 4 - Government Center (Building W) is both the highest scored and lowest cost. It is also the only site that is large enough to accommodate the proposed services on one floor, further abiding by state regulations." "CCGC Sites 4 and 5 represent the lowest cost, have the existing zoning in place to locate the site, and could be utilized in the most expedient timeframe." It makes no sense to take away and rezone residential estate land in close proximity of 16 + schools and no affordable sustainable housing nearby, when years of research by Jacobs Engineering and county officials indicates the current location is not the best suited to expand the proposed $25Mil. Mental Health Facility. Thank you for your consideration - please safeguard my neighborhood, (school aged) children and financial investments. They are all I have.

Good evening: My name is Theresa Pagan and I live at 5980 Painted Leaf Lane, which is directly behind Life Church. Lot 66 (the proposed site to build the new mental health facility) is adjacent to and east of the church. I would like to thank you for your service. I appreciate all that you do for our community. My neighbors and I do not dispute the need for a new facility, however, we do strongly object to the proposed location. At my age, I will not be able to recover from the significant financial impact building the new facility on the proposed lot will have on my property value. My neighbors will, of course, be similarly affected. These are our homes. We should be able to feel safe and secure in our homes. At the Neighborhood Information Meetings, we were repeatedly told to just call the police if we have a problem but, at that point, it is already too late. Something bad is already happening. Building the new facility on the proposed lot will intensify our exposure to safety issues. The noise disturbances are another problem. I can hear when the dumpsters at the current David Lawrence Center are being emptied. With a second facility even closer to my home, that noise will be that much louder and that much more of an intrusion. The ambulances, fire trucks and police cars turning onto Bathey Lane, which is next to Life Church, with their sirens blaring, and many of the ambulance drivers like to blast their horns just as they are turning onto Bathey Lane, is another noise disturbance I have to deal with every day. I can see and hear these vehicles from inside my home, even though I have impact windows and doors. With a second facility, these noise disturbances will be further intensified. There are several other locations in the county that would be far better suited for this facility. I hope you do not, but if you do decide to approve this project, please, at a minimum, require that a 10' wall be constructed along the eastern and northern property lines, with the northern line extending to the existing David Lawrence Center. This was Option 1 presented by Peninsula Engineering at the Planning Commission Meeting on November 17, 2022. 1 implore you to consider the overall intensification of negative impacts building this facility on the proposed lot will have on me and my neighbors. My neighbors and I will have to live with the consequences of your actions. Not you. Not Michael Dalby with the Chamber. Not anyone at the David Lawrence Center. We will. Remember, you should always treat others the way you would like to be treated. Would you like someone to do this to you? Thank you for your time.

February 1, 2023 Kenneth Koerner 6180 Pained Leaf Lane Board of Collier County Commissioners RE: DLC Expansion on Golden Gate Parkway From Research Staff Report March 5, 2007: Full Document Attached This project is not consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan that prohibit new conditional use development along Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. A commitment was made by the County Board of Commissioners to the Florida Department of Transportation in consideration of the approval and construction of the 1-75 Interchange to keep the Golden Gate Parkway corridor "green" and not allow the proliferation of commercial and conditional uses. The proposed subdistrict change is not consistent with the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Boulevard Special Provisions section of the GGAMP, which prohibits new conditional uses on properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. Collier County staff worked with the community via the GGAMP Re -study Committee to recommend provisions be added to the Plan to prohibit the approval of any new commercial zoning and conditional uses along the Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. The Board of County Commissioners approved these prohibitions, in 2004. Staff recommended that the Collier County Planning Commission forward Petition CP-2005-6 to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation to not transmit to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. However, if the CCPC should recommend transmittal, staff recommends the following: • Limit the development and uses on Tract 66 to stormwater management and preservation areas; Limit the development and uses on Tract 59 to church, church - related uses (e.g. church operated school and/or day care), and other institutional uses of the same or less intensity as church use; and, other institutional uses of the same or less intensity as church use. Limit the development and uses on Tracts 43 and 50 to the existing David Lawrence Center use and to the amount of building expansion that could have occurred on those two tracts had 2.2 acres not been conveyed for right-of-way. It should be noted that the Amendment application indicates that SDP-AR-2002-2072, which provided for the expansion of the David Lawrence Center onsite, was not completed due to the Center's inability to provide the required native vegetation and stormwater management areas onsite. My wife and I voted for the Collier County 1 % surtax. We do support the need for mental health care. We believe this location in our residential neighborhood is not the best place for such a massive DLC building.

Good Morning, My name is Dr. Giuliana McQuirt and I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in Collier County [Immokalee]. I provide mental health services to underserved/underinsured children, adolescent, adults, and pregnant women in Collier county. Collier county NEEDS to have more inpatient beds available to Collier County Residents https://colliercf.org/what-we-do/vital-signs/mental-health- substance-abuse Collier county residents that suffer from acute mental illness, need a Collier county - based inpatient facility large enough to take all those who need help. Patients that live in the same county in which they are treated: 1. Have quick/frequent access to family/friend support while they in treatment 2. Will have better access to outpatient services/follow up treatment as local professionals know the area and can problem solve transportation issues 3. May be more likely to seek out treatment on their own if inpatient facility is local and NOT WASTE community resources [i.e. local law enforcement -Baker Act -transport to facility out of the county] Please vote YES on building a Collier Central Receiving Facility to be built NOW at the Golden Gate location near David Lawrence Center Thank you for your time, Giuliana Farias McQuirt, Psy.D.

Dear Commissioner Hall, There has been a great and growing need to address the mental health and addiction crisis impacting our community for decades. Healthcare Network and other local organizations have been working diligently to respond to this crisis, exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. But outpatient resources can only go so far towards making a positive impact for those who need mental health care. As a longtime resident of Collier County, and as a member of the executive leadership of a DLC partner in caring for our community, I fully support the planned growth of David Lawrence Center as we continue to find collective ways to help in our community. Healthcare organizations are doing our part. Now we call upon you, our elected commissioners to act to save the lives of those experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis. On February 14th, please vote in favor of the Central Receiving Facility location at DLC.

While I vehemently disagree with most of its contents, I respect everyone has right to an opinion. What I emphatically wish to convey is that I take great umbrage to any accusations linking our recovery residence, or our main treatment facility across the street, to any incidences you may have had without actual proof of such. To publicly disparage the thousands of individuals we serve each year, and our organization, is a matter I take very seriously. I would encourage, without any proof that any of your "incidences" has direct ties to DLC clients and/or DLC, is that you are VERY clear when you communicate in letter or verbally that NO evidence or proof of such exists and that you CANNOT state the two are causally linked. To do otherwise is disparaging. I am more than happy to talk with either of you, and/or your attorney and our attorney, should you wish such.

Hello Collier County Commissioner, My name is Quinn Griffin and I am a student from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am writing to you today to urge you to vote YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. It is crucial for our community that this facility is approved by you and your fellow commissioners, now. DLC simply does not have enough bed space to house our fellow community members that are in need. DLC being a vital mental health resource in our community for over 50 years has shown the public good that their facilities provide. As a member of the Collier County Board of Commissioners you have the ability to support the expansion of the dire resources needed in our community, right now. The new central receiving facility's location being near DLC will improve the efficiency and collaboration needed to address the ongoing mental health issues our community members are facing. Some may have a "not in our backyard" mentality which shows a lack of empathy, care, and understanding for our community's current and ongoing mental health needs and issues. I have witnessed many of my fellow students and community members struggle with their mental health and have heard of students needing the resources DLC provides. You have the opportunity to make a lifelong and lifesaving impact on our community by voting YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. I hope that you see this need and join your fellow community members in supporting the mental health needs of our community, now. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community!

Good afternoon Commissioner Hall, Thank you for your comprehensive and informative email regarding your first 73 days in office. It sounds as though you've started your term at a sprint — taking time to understand the important issues and opportunities that our District and our County face. Thank you for your service. My name is Lindsey Touchette. I live in District 2 and am proud to share that I was born and raised in Naples. My husband and I work and volunteer in this community and are now raising our family in the same community that we love being a part of. We want to ensure that our community has the resources it needs to thrive and support the many residents who have and are now making Collier County home. I am writing today because I know that you will be faced with an important decision and vote at your upcoming meeting on February 14 and I am encouraging you to vote YES to approve the location for the Mental Health Central Receiving Facility to be located near DLC. It is not a secret that the mental health facilities and ability for individuals to access help has long been an issue in Collier County: • David Lawrence is consistently at peak capacity, having to turn people away, or add them to long wait lists, or refer them outside of our county (only for individuals to experience the same issues elsewhere). • Collier County has had to use its jail as its largest mental health facility. • Baker Acts in Collier County continue to be on the rise. • Our youth suicide rate in Collier is over twice the state and national average. • Our Youth Arrest rate is also higher. • Adults and seniors suicide rate is above the state average as well. • Addictions and overdoses are a national epidemic. the list goes on. We need help. People need access and the ability to recover well. Pressures are mounting on people — affordability of housing, food, increased costs, isolation, addiction to technology, drugs, and other things. Everyone knows someone struggling and we have insufficient services in our community. We have to do better. We have to help. It would be an absolute shame for our community to lose momentum because of the misinformation of a few individuals who live near the proposed site. Their claims are not substantiated by CCSO data and are outdated stereotypes that are unfounded and short sighted. DLC has operated in that very place for as long as I can remember. Even the Senior Pastor of the church next door has referenced them as "good neighbors." They have helped so many— and will help so many more if we approve this project. Voting "YES" will allow the Central Receiving facility to be realized, it will save taxpayer dollars, save lives, fast track treatments and increase community well-being. The mental and behavioral health needs in Collier County are significant and growing, and we need to move this initiative (the #1 initiative in the Collier County Mental Health Strategic Plan, unanimously approved by the BCC) forward! respectfully ask that you vote "yes"! Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you on the 14th.

Please read to the end. Ultimately BCC adapted CP-2005-6 which allowed Lot 66 to be included in the Golden Gate Parkway Institutional Subdistrict. The lot was intended to be used for water shed and native vegetation to be able to expand on the existing land. Now DLC want to alter the GGAMP and an agreement of with DOT and build a 64,000 sq.ft. building on Lot 66. This project is not consistent with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan that prohibit new conditional use development along Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. A commitment was made by the County Board of Commissioners to the Florida Department of Transportation in consideration of the approval and construction of the 1-75 Interchange to keep the Golden Gate Parkway corridor "green" and not allow the proliferation of commercial and conditional uses.

I live at 5980 Painted Leaf Lane which is directly behind Life Church on Golden Gate Parkway. The church is adjacent to Lot 66 which is the proposed site to build the new mental health facility. I voted for the extra tax to pay for this facility to be built but I strongly object to the proposed location. There are several other locations in the county that would be far better suited for this facility. I ask that you think about the significant financial impact building the facility on the proposed lot will have on my property value and those of my neighbors. I am 62 years old and will not be able to recover from this financial blow. I also am concerned about the noise disturbances I face every day with emergency vehicles turning onto Bathey Lane, which is next to Life Church, with their sirens blaring and their horns blasting just as they are turning onto Bathey Lane; and when the dumpsters are emptied at the current David Lawrence Center, it is very loud. I can hear all of these inside my home despite having impact windows and doors. With a second facility, these noise disturbances will be further intensified. I hope you do not, but if you do decide to approve this project, please, at a minimum, require that a 10 foot wall be constructed along the eastern and northern property lines, with the northern line extending to the existing David Lawrence Center. This was Option I presented by Peninsula Engineering at the Planning Commission Meeting on November 17, 2022. Please consider the overall intensification of negative impacts building this facility on the proposed lot will have on me and my neighbors. Thank you.

I can hear all of these inside my home despite having impact windows and doors. With a second facility, these noise disturbances will be further intensified. I hope you do not, but if you do decide to approve this project, please, at a minimum, require that a 10 foot wall be constructed along the eastern and northern property lines, with the northern line extending to the existing David Lawrence Center. This was Option I presented by Peninsula Engineering at the Planning Commission Meeting on November 17, 2022. Please consider the overall intensification of negative impacts building this facility on the proposed lot will have on me and my neighbors. Thank you.

It's in the County's well -thought out 5 mental health year strategic plan, and our community really needs this. An honest citizen who is struggling with his or her mental health should never be taken to the jail, which is our current system when someone has a breakdown. This adult or child should be taken to a center designed to offer the right sort of support. It also is not fair to make our police officers become mental health professionals; instead let's allow our mental health professionals at DLC offer support. Our Sheriff says there are no reports of people from DLC bothering the neighbors in the last five years. I can understand their concerns but this in typical NIMBY stuff we're always going to see, I'm a resident of Pelican Bay and live in your district. Thank you for offering your leadership to our community.

It's been all and more than I ever imagined! The people are amazing, smart, creative and, most of all, they really care about the people of Collier County. District 2 is a large district with its traffic challenges, beach restoration, businesses and housing issues and we are meeting those challenges head on. Reducing the grasps of government, keeping Collier County free of Cannabis shops, returning potentially controlling CDC federal funds and working hard to get the workforce housing initiatives going are just a few of the things I'm spending lots of energy on. I would like to say thanks to all those in Collier County District 2 who were able to join us January 19th for "Coffee With Commissioner Hall", either in -person or via Zoom. Also, a special thanks to Collier County Transportation and Collier County Parks & Recreation for their presentations and updates on projects and activities within District 2. It was great to provide introductions of ourselves, meet our constituents, and answer many important questions. We hope to see you at our next "Coffee With Commissioner Hall"! In case you missed it January 19th, you can watch the video to our "Coffee with Commissioner Hall" by clicking on the button below. January Board of Collier County (BCC) Meetings The Jan 10th BCC Meeting recognized Commissioner Bill McDaniel (District 5) for his Chairmanship in 2022. For the 2023 calendar year, the Chair's gavel was passed from Commissioner William L. McDaniel Jr., Dist. 5, to Commissioner Rick LoCastro, Dist. 1. The Chair serves in that capacity for one year. The Jan 10th meeting lasted over 12-hours in duration. This meeting, along with prior BCC meetings, can be watched online through the archive website. The Jan 24th BCC Meeting voiced a Proclamation recognizing the First Baptist Academy football team on their Florida High School Athletic Association Class 1 S State Championship. This was accepted by Billy Sparacio, Head Coach and Athletic Director, First Baptist Academy, and other distinguished guests. 0 Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) Meeting In January, I had the pleasure of participating in the monthly Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) meeting (see below pictures) to discuss workforce housing, a topic that is near and dear to my heart. AHAC's purpose is to "review policies, procedures, ordinances, land development regulations, and the adopted local government comprehensive plan, and to recommend specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable housing." I have been appointed to the AHAC surtax subcommittee to define the processes, rules and recommendations to spend the $20 million set aside by taxpayer referendum for land acquisition for workforce housing. The ball is rolling and this group should have recommendations to the BCC board in the next month or two. 0 ®❑ Florida Senator Rick Scott with Commissioner Chris Hall On January 22nd, I had a great evening with Senator Rick Scott, when he presented his 12-point plan to rescue America: https://rescueamerica.com/12- point-plan/. While at this event, I also had the wonderful opportunity to meet a group of young Christian Conservatives. ®❑ Attending Blue Mass On January 28th, I was privileged to attend Blue Mass which honored our Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, and First Responders. Their recognition was given by our great Governor Ron DeSantis. We are so thankful that these wonderful men and women put their lives on the line each and every day to keep and protect Collier County! ®❑ Collier County Emergency Medical Services Tour What a privilege to have had the opportunity to tour Collier County's Emergency Medical Services. Chief Tabatha Butcher and her staff presented an amazing overview of the services, talent, training, dedication and hard work of everyone within that system to provide over the top emergency services to this county. Our favorite thing was meeting the people! They were so gracious and enthusiastic about their work. The proof is definitely in the pudding ... One example: the national average of survival from cardiac issues after being rushed to the hospital is 7-10%. Last year, Collier County had a 36% survival rate!!! Almost 4X the national average. I, my wife Dot, and Executive Coordinator Louise Jarvis, toured the training center, ambulances, and helicopter hangar to see the top notch equipment stewarded by our county staff. We pray a special blessing over each and every one of them for the work dedication and sacrifice made to keep Collier County safe. Palm River Utilities Project The Collier County Public Utilities Renewal project will replace the water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure in Palm River Areas 1 and 2. This project will start in the next 30 days. Construction will take place over the next 15 months in both areas. There are no special assessments associated with this work. I H 105th and 106th Avenues North Public Utilities Project As you may have noticed, construction activities have begun on 105th and 106th Avenues North associated with the Naples Park Public Utilities Renewal project. Starting on February 6, 2023, construction crews will begin wastewater improvements on Phase 1 which includes the 500 blocks and the west half of the 600 blocks of 105th and 106th Avenues North.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: I write today to express my support for the approval of the proposed location for David Lawrence Center's desperately needed facility, which is on the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) agenda on February 14, 2023. You know the facts: our community, like so many, is facing a staggering mental health crisis that is exacerbated by far too few beds and services to serve those who need them ... and those who will. The overwhelming majority of our community wants this and has mandated action through the approval of a self-imposed tax in 2018. Everything about the location makes sense and it is ready to go. It is the wisest and fastest solution to deliver on the need for DLC's expansion of mental health services for our community. I fear that if you — our Countv Commissioners — vote no on this Droiect at this location at this critical time. mental health will suffer the same fate as affordable housing in our community. Board after Board kicked the can down the road on affordable housing, lacking the courage and resolve to take adequate action. We are far beyond crisis at this point on the housing issue. PLEASE, do not fail our community on the issue of mental health. Any and all development in Collier County must be thoughtfully considered and those decisions are not always easy. However, I implore you to consider and visualize the human and financial impact of not moving forward with the new DLC facility, as expansion plans would be delayed for a matter of years. As a devoted DLC Community Partner, local business owner and active resident of Collier County, I strongly urge you to vote YES on February 14 to allow DLC - which has been an incredible community asset for 55 years - to move forward with development at the proposed location near the existing facility. Thank you for listening and thank you sincerely for your service. Lisa Gruenloh Lisa Gruenloh Founder and President, Purpose Journey, Inc.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Commissioner Hall: My husband, Wallace Peter and I, Marie Peter purchased our property on Painted Leaf Lane in 1999. At that time the street name was 28th Ave. SW. In May of 2000 we moved into our brand-new home. We chose this location because of the great schools that we would be zoned for since we had a five- year -old daughter and because of the quiet neighborhood. We and our neighbors are not fancy rich attorneys, we are hardworking tax paying citizens and a lot of retired folks living on their piece of paradise. A lot of us are small business owners. We have outbuildings, barns, shops, sheds, boats, etc which are all places anyone could hide out in. These are not just our homes, but they really are an investment. This facility would tank our property values and even make some homes unsellable. Who would want to live next to a 64,000 square foot massive building bringing who knows how many people in and releasing them daily on top of all of those being released from the existing David Lawrence Center. Some leave on foot and roam our neighborhood. We feel as though our safety and wellbeing will be in even more jeopardy. We have seen people walking down Golden Gate Parkway carrying backpacks and even some with suitcases on a regular basis. We are NOT in favor of the projected Collier County Mental Health Receiving Center being built in our neighborhood. We all do agree that there is a dire need for mental health care, but this facility does not belong in our estates residential neighborhood. We have witnessed numerous helicopters circling daytime and nighttime with spotlights searching for someone. We have also witnessed police officers chasing someone on foot in our next -door neighbor's yard. This is an estates residential neighborhood. When the 175 interchange was built, we were assured that it would stay residential. NO commercial type buildings were to be constructed on Golden Gate Parkway (aka the Green Way) from Livingston Rd. to Santa Barbara Blvd. Traffic is already horrific and this facility would just bring more traffic to the Golden Gate Parkway/Santa Barbara area. Please consider all our concerns and vote NO on this location on Golden Gate Parkway. Thank you for your time.

I offer the following: • Our county -wide law enforcement element (CCSO, NPD, MPD, etc.) is familiar with the current more geographically centered (relative to county geography) DLC location away from primary traffic patterns, • law enforcement elements understand the current protocols for reception which would merely require minor amendments to policy and procedures at the site proposed, • traffic generation (traffic congestion) would be obviated when compared to re -siting on property at highly congested Airport/Pulling Road and U.S. 41, near the primary jail facility (a known traffic generator with an inherent facility parking problem), • there should be no or reduced personal stigmatism/labeling associated with visitors and patients received at the less publicly visible proposed DLC site (rather than the much higher public profile main jail and county government facilities), • all infrastructure and professional services (food services, metering, property maintenance equipment, utilities, professional staff, etc.) are already lawfully permitted and in operational mode at the current DLC location (no wholesale acquisition of equipment required or remote service delivery of food, files, medications, professional staff travel, etc.), • the current DLC siting proposal is less exposed to vagaries of weather being located away from the coastal flood zones (flooding and wind damage in major storm events) which could affect security, storage of patient information (hard copy and electronic), service delivery downtime, etc. inherent in major weather events. As the Collier County Sheriff's Office SWAT Commander for 7+ years (resolving incidents involving persons in crisis, barricaded subjects, and suicidal persons) and elected Sheriff for 20 years I do not recall any security breaches or major security concerns at the current DLC location (contrary to recent concerns that have been expressed). I served with county leadership on the DLC board for many years and consolidating mental health services on a single site was a major discussion within the board meeting agendas. The economic and logistical arguments for co -location remain compelling and unrefuted. Unless and until some persuasive rationale can be made to alter this long serving and successful operation at its current location, I remain convinced we properly sited the current facility. We should stay the course and recognize the inherent benefits of co -location.

Good Morning - Please remember me tomorrow and know that I am not against mental health treatment, I am against an additional 64,000sq.ft. mental institution feet from my daughter's bus stop. I am against my tax paying dollars going toward a 2 year, county wide study and the research tossed aside so the DLC can somehow settle the 4th best site... not site #1, 2 or 3. Nobody ever heard from the neighbors of the DLC before now because no one ever asked or listened. My daughters and I are survivors of mental health, alcoholism and opioid addiction. I bought on Painted Leaf Ln in December 2015. I had to work 3 jobs in order to afford a decent home in a nice neighborhood within a good school district. My daughters were 4 and 7 years old and our lives were forever changed. I would never have purchased my home had I known what the DLC was proposing to grow into... and now I can't afford anything anywhere in Collier County no matter how many jobs i work. While I have first hand understanding and compassion, my daughters and I deserve peace too. Please hear my plea and consider my family when casting your votes.

The current DLC backs up to a residential estates area, not an institutional or commercial area and does not meet the Priorities outlined in BCC Approved Five -Year Strategic Plan 12.10.2019 (14775 : Collier County Mental Health Facility) / Jacobs Engineering documents. The amount of school locations alone can attest to the residential nature of DLC's current location - There are over 16 schools within an approximate 3 mile radius near the current DLC location. • 0.4 Miles - Kiddy Korral (Preschool) • 0.4 Miles - The ABLE Academy (Developmentally delayed / special needs learners - Ages 3-22) • 0.8 Miles - BridgePrep Academy of Collier (Public Charter) • 1.0 Miles — Childs Path Day School (Pre School) • 1.2 Miles - South Breeze Daycare (PreSchool) • 1.2 Miles — St. John Newman High School (Private Catholic) • 1.5 Miles - Golden Gate Community Park • 1.5 Miles —St. Elizabeth Seton School (Private Catholic) • 1.7 Miles - Nicaea Academy Early Learning • 1.9 Miles - Golden Gate Middle School • 2.1 Miles - Grace Community School • 2.6 Miles - Herbert Cambridge Elementary • 2.7 Miles - Golden Gate Elementary • 2.7 Miles - Golden Terrace Elementary North • 2.8 Miles - Calusa Park Elementary • 3.2 Miles - Lavern Gaynor Elementary (LGE) There are 7 schools within a 3 mile radius from the proposed location near the Collier County Government Center (CCGC), Including Collier County's Vocational and Alternative Schools, 'New Beginnings' and 'Pheonix'. These Alternative schools exist to help educate our mentally / emotionally / behaviorally troubled youth (previously Baker Acted). • 0.7 Miles - Shadowlawn Elementary School • 1.4 Miles - Sunshine Learning Center (PreSchool) • 1.4 Miles - Collier County Vocational Tech Center: • Lorenzo Walker Technical School (High School and Adult Education) • Collier Alternative School and Phoenix Programs (helping youth with mental/behavioral/environmental issues while getting an education) • 1.6 Miles - Educational Pathways Academy (Private Grades 1-11) • 1.7 Miles - East Naples Middle School • 2.2 Miles - Gulfcoast Charter Academy South • 2.4 Miles - Avalon Elementary If this expansion is to help the Baker Acted and mentally ill, why is the Planning Committee in favor of a location so far away from well -established DLC community resources, like the St. Matthew's House (Lulu's Kitchen —4 Miles from CCGC), Justin's Place (1 Mile from CCGC, Collier County Vocational and Alternative Schools (1.4 Miles from CCGC) and criminal collaboration with Collier County Gov? The Collier County Government Center (CCGC) is the most suitable site per Jacobs Engineering and the HUB of County resources and government. People get married, file for divorce, pull old records, request birth certificates, file deeds, meet with judges, attorneys, mediators - it is a resource complex. The Jail is a fraction of this large complex, where resources and DLC can be mutually beneficial (Priority #3 — Data Collaborative for Data Sharing, Collection and Outcomes Reporting and Priority #4 - Increase the Capacity and Effectiveness of Justice System Response for Persons Experiencing Serious Mental Illness and/or Substance Use Disorders). Examples: Ex #1- When drug and alcohol arrests come into the jail, DLC will be onsite to make sure withdrawal symptoms do not pose a fatal health risk to themselves and others. Ex #2 - When DLC experiences more challenging intake procedures; the sheriffs' at the CCGC are also there to assist if needed. There are legal consequences when any individual becomes unsafe to themselves or others. I don't see the Proposed CCGC location and proximity to the Jail being a deterrent for treatment, but a deterrent for unnecessary loitering (often seen near the current DLC location). It's not a stigma - Most individuals (mentally well or not) know jail is a consequence of someone's harmful actions and should be an incentive for the mentally ill to stay on their prescribed treatment path. At the CCGC proposed location - there is nowhere for patients to loiter/trespass, no easily accessible residential neighborhoods or immediate access to 175. The CCGC already has many community safety measures in place and the land is available for institutional use. Based on the Jacobs study, "CCGC Site 4 - Government Center (Building W) is both the highest scored and lowest cost. It is also the only site that is large enough to accommodate the proposed services on one floor, further abiding by state regulations." "CCGC Sites 4 and 5 represent the lowest cost, have the existing zoning in place to locate the site, and could be utilized in the most expedient timeframe." It makes no sense to take away and rezone residential estate land in close proximity of 16 + schools and no affordable sustainable housing nearby, when years of research by Jacobs Engineering and county officials indicates the current location is not the best suited to expand the proposed $25Mil. Mental Health Facility. Thank you for your consideration - please safeguard my neighborhood, (school aged) children and financial investments. They are all I have.

This vote is about one thing. Changing residential zoning to commercial. It's a vote about location only. None of the neighbors are against mental health treatment, just the opposite. We voted for the 1 % tax, and all support the need for mental health. The Jacob Site Evaluation study preferred 3 locations at the Collier County Government Center over the DLC campus. Please read why the DLC campus is not the proper location for such a huge building! 1-75 Interchange and surrounding land uses: Resulting from the State's approval to fund and construct the 1-75 Interchange at Golden Gate Parkway, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Resolution 2001-56 establishing an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to provide recommendations on the appearance and landscaping of the interchange. The Committee was specifically tasked with creating an "overlay" district for the interchange to: 1) minimize impacts to property owners; 2) preserve the residential character of the area; and 3) establish landscaping provisions consistent with creating a "gateway" into Naples and Golden Gate. GGAMP Re -study Committee - GGAMP Policy 5.2.3 and revisions to the Estates, Conditional Uses Subdistrict: The GGAMP Re -study Committee was formed, in part, to study the land use needs of the Golden Gate Community, such as commercial, community facility and institutional uses. County staff worked with the Committee to identify appropriate areas to locate new commercial development and conditional uses within the Estates and Golden Gate City. Committee recommendations to the BCC included added provisions for conditional use development, expansion and creation of Neighborhood Centers within the Estates, and the expansion and creation of commercial/mixed-use subdistricts within Golden Gate City. The Re -study Committee also identified areas that were inappropriate for new commercial development and conditional use development. One such area identified by the Committee was the Golden Gate Parkway corridor, between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. In 2003, the Re -study Committee met with "I-75/Golden Gate Parkway" Ad hoc Committee members to discuss desired land uses for the area surrounding the interchange. As a result, the Re -study Committee recommended to the BCC provisions that would prohibit new commercial and conditional use development along Golden Gate Parkway in the Estates. Committee recommendations for expanded commercial and conditional use opportunities and the restriction of these uses in certain areas governed by the Master Plan were adopted by the BCC in 2003 and 2004, as part of the Phased Re -study Amendments to the GGAMP. The proposed subdistrict is not consistent with the Conditional Uses Subdistrict, Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Boulevard Special Provisions section of the GGAMP, which prohibits new conditional uses on properties abutting Golden Gate Parkway between Livingston Road and Santa Barbara Boulevard. Recommendations were made: Limit the development and uses on Tract 66 to stormwater management and preservation areas. • Limit the development and uses on Tract 59 to church, church -related uses (e.g. church operated school and/or day care), and other institutional uses of the same or less intensity as church use; and, Limit the development and uses on Tracts 43 and 50 to the existing David Lawrence Center use and to the amount of building expansion that could have occurred on those two tracts had 2.2 acres not been conveyed for right-of-way This is an abuse of your power as President of the Naples Chamber and we, the residents of Collier County, demand you retract this and admit to your members that you stepped out of line. Naples would not allow a 64,000 sq. ft. building in a residential neighborhood! You have misrepresented the matter. You have let a private interest influence your decisions for the community you are entrusted to lead.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Michael Dalby, Please get your facts strait. The sited location was not clearly communicated to the voters nor even mentioned as part of the vote for the 1 % tax. The Site evaluation was not finished until 2021. Below is the ballot language as presented to the voters November 2018 Collier County and Municipal Infrastructure One -Cent Sales Tax. To enhance safety, mobility, and hurricane preparedness in Collier County and its cities by constructing, repairing, and maintaining roads, bridges, signals, sidewalks, parks, evacuation shelters, governmental, and emergency services facilities; acquire land and support construction for workforce housing and career and technical training, veterans' nursing home and expand mental health facilities; shall the County levy a one -cent sales surtax beginning January 1, 2019, and automatically ending December 31, 2025, with oversight by citizen committee? The changes requested are inconsistent with the Golden Gate Parkway Institutional District. The requested zoning change from residential to commercial was not what was discussed by DLC and their agent when they sought to include the 5 acres in the GGPID in 2007. The neighbors are not OK with a 64,000 sq. ft. building in their residential neighborhood. We feel we are not being honored as a large part of the decision. Please express your support for mental health growth but not this location. Please Read: From testimony CCPC 5/6/2007 MR. YOVANOVICH: In 2002 the David Lawrence Center required the five- acre parcel that we' re essentially trying to get institutional uses on that site. The desire is to address the native vegetation requirements and the water management requirements and still have flexibility to address whatever changes may occur in the future as far as new regulations on that five- acre piece so that we could -- we could basically add roughly 17, 000 to 20,000 square feet of -- of additional square footage to the overall project. COMMISSIONER SCHIFFER: What is your intention, then, with the site alongside the church? Will you expand behind the church and then over into that site or swap the parking or something? DLC MR. SCHIMMEL: We have -- our engineers have told us we need to retain about a two- acre -- we need to have about a two -acre lake to meet the requirements to be able to expand on our existing eight acres, the acres that we already have developed. The church is -- is willing to grant us an easement. They're working closely with us so that we could, in fact, have water go from our property to this two -acre retention area. That' s our immediate plan is to be able to retain water which we can no longer do on our eight acres. The other immediate thing that that five -acre parcel does for us is it gives us a tremendous amount of native vegetation. Because a lot of our -- most of our native vegetation was destroyed in the DOT taking of the two acres. All of that was heavily wooded particularly that triangular corner that you see. That was all fairly heavily wooded before it was destroyed COMMISSIONER CARON: So, the 17, 000 square foot expansion would be on the current property? DLC MR. SCHIMMEL: Correct. Correct. That would be on the current property. And the five acres, Lot 66, would be utilized for water retention and native vegetation. That's our immediate plan. CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Are you aware that there's a staff suggestion that if we did not agree with staff -- which is recommending denial, we recommended for transmittal -- they're suggesting limit the development and uses on Tract 66 to stormwater management and preservation areas. DLC MR. SCHIMMEL: I'm aware of that recommendation and, you know, we could live with that. We would certainly like the option to not be restricted to that at this point in time. Because our -- our demand for services grow about 5 percent per year. So we know there's only so much we can do on the parkway. MR. YOVANOVICH: We would expect that the neighborhood would have a large say in what would happen on that property just like neighborhoods do throughout the Collier County now currently through the process.

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Hello Mr. Hall, My name is Owen Fisher and I am a student from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am writing to you today to urge you to vote YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. It is crucial for our community that this facility is approved by you and your fellow commissioners, now. DLC simply does not have enough bed space to house our fellow community members that are in need. DLC being a vital mental health resource in our community for over 50 years has shown the public good that their facilities provide. As a member of the Collier County Board of Commissioners you have the ability to support the expansion of the dire resources needed in our community, right now. The new central receiving facility's location being near DLC will improve the efficiency and collaboration needed to address the ongoing mental health issues our community members are facing. Some may have a "not in our backyard" mentality which shows a lack of empathy, care, and understanding for our community's current and ongoing mental health needs and issues. I have witnessed many of my fellow students and community members struggle with their mental health and have heard of students needing the resources DLC provides. You have the opportunity to make a lifelong and lifesaving impact on our community by voting YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. I hope that you see this need and join your fellow community members in supporting the mental health needs of our community, now. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community!

Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. Dear Mr. Hall, I am writing to you in regards to the upcoming meeting on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, and the rezoning of Tract 66 Unit 30 Golden Gate. This issue is about a zoning change from a residential area to build a commercial facility. My husband and I have lived at 5960 Painted Leaf Lane since 1991 - 31 years! (right behind Life Church on Golden Gate Parkway) We strongly object to the proposed location for a new larger DLC facility on that site. In a year long professional analysis by Jacob Engineering in 2020, sites at the Government Center were marked #1 and #2 best choices, the proposed site was rated #4 out of 5 locations. "WE" the concerned neighbors are not a "small" group of residents but a group of over 20 residents concerned about the safety, well-being and value of our property with the above mentioned. Are you aware that neighbors are requesting a wall be constructed at the new facility (if this should pass) to protect us? Just how safe is our neighborhood going to be with this larger, several story building? At our home we have had intrusions from trespassers and sheriffs coming on to our yard and telling us to get inside, lock your windows and doors! These are unsafe conditions for ALL the people living in the area. As I stated in the beginning, our concern is about the REZONING of a residential Estates property! NOT about opposing help for the mentally ill. Thank you for your time. I look forward to attending the meeting on Tuesday. Sincerely, Christine and William Fawcett From: Todd Morrison To: LoCastroRick; HallChris; SaundersBurt; McDanielBill Subject: Say YES to Saving Lives - Approve the Collier County Central Receiving Facility!

Good Evening Commissioners, Next week you have a very important decision to make that will directly impact our community and the well being of the citizens who live here. I am writing this letter to you, to ask that you please approve the Collier County Central Receiving Facility! The county desperately needs these services, as much as you hope it never happens, your own family members may need the services that this facility will provide. Considering the Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the location in 2001, the voters of this county approved a sales tax initiative in 2018 to fund the construction of this facility, the site is being offered for free by The David Lawrence Center, the property was approved as a sub -district for expansion and continuation of this work in 2007, it provides the ability to provide Integrated Care, it's Cost Effective, it's a familiar location, it's in alignment with national best practice, and it maximizes treatment bed capacity. Please approve the Collier County Central Receiving Facility! Sincerely, C. Todd Morrison From: Thomas Wood To: HallChris Subject: Support Approval of new Central Receiving Facility Date: Thursday, February 2, 2023 9:47:11 AM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source. Confirm this is a trusted sender and use extreme caution when opening attachments or clicking links. I would like to voice my support for Commission approval of this Central Receiving facility in the upcoming February 14 vote. Thomas Wood 6559 Ridgewood Drive Naples 34108 Through a year -long, diligent process, County Commissioners and staff evaluated several potential sites for the Central Receiving Facility. Numerous public meetings were held where the location of the facility was discussed by the Commissioners. In February 2022, Commissioners unanimously voted to approve the five acres near DLC as the location. Cost, continuity of care, operational benefits and its central location were all considered by the Commissioners. Of great significance was the fact that the land is being donated by DLC to the County at no cost to the taxpayers! On February 14, 2023 at 10:00, the new Commission will make the final decision to approve or deny the location. From: Sonia M.

There has been a significant and exponentially growing need to address the mental health and addiction crisis impacting our community for decades. Growing up, I had classmates whose lives were saved by the care they received at David Lawrence Center. As an adult, I have witnessed friends and family members lose their loved ones to mental health issues, of have their families torn apart and fortunes depleted when they had to travel to other counties or states to get the care their loved ones need because the Collier County's facilities cannot handle the need. You have the power to save the lives of those experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis. No one wants this in their back yard, but putting Central Receiving Facility near David Lawrence Center's current campus just makes sense. Please vote in favor of the Central Receiving Facility location. The lives and livelihoods of our families, friends and neighbors in Collier County depends on it.

I have also been a member of the Golden Gate community living here since 1998 when my husband and I bought a home here. I have had a great occupational career in Collier County first as a 911 Telecommunicator- Dispatcher/Supervisor for the Naples Police and Emergency Services Department from 1998-2006, and then obtaining a position with David Lawrence Centers and here I have been ever since. I have a unique perspective having both worked on the Law Enforcement side and the Mental Health side of our amazing community. While at DLC I have worked with our DUI clients, children's case management, Acute Care discharge planning, Floor nurse and now the Acute Care Nursing Supervisor. Some of the things that I have learned with my different positions between NPD and DLC is that our community lacks the social supports required to serve all our residents. As a Dispatcher I would regularly hear Officers speak of the lack of support in the community for those folks who require assistance with substance use disorders and mental health diagnosis. David Lawrence Center has been the one sure thing. But we are literally outgrowing our current space and the influx of people who require mental health services from depression/anxiety and PTSD to severe and persistent mental illness such as Schizophrenia and BiPolar Disorder. It doesn't matter the zip code, Mental Health issues can affect anyone and everyone and it doesn't plan it just happens. I am a 5'1" woman and work on the Crisis Unit, I see our community members who are "at their worst, in crisis". I can 100% say that our staff is committed and do the best we can to stabilize these client's and work extremely hard to find and set up safe aftercare with the goal of remaining in the community and being productive members with goals in mind. We have a very comprehensive training for safety and security for our staff and clients. I feel that in the 47 years DLC has been in this community and at this location we have contributed more positively than any other agency in this community for the wellness of the community and safety. By voting YES, you will be a critical part of the positive future of our community, DLC will then have the space to grow our resources and provide the very needed space for our communities children, adolescents and adults who are in need of any degree of Mental Health services. We will also have the ability to provide such needed opportunities for our growing communities employment needs. From cleaning services to Doctors and Administrative people. Having worked all shifts, I have been in our parking lot where there was more noise coming from the neighborhood behind DLC than from within. I've heard neighbors arguing, loud music, animals barking and more. I am aware that our Administration has pitched a safety plan and if they haven't already I would suggest a barrier wall to separate the neighborhood from our parking lot. It can be beautifully landscaped and camouflage. If the neighborhood behind DLC is that afraid of our clients that to me is just ignorance. Afterall, anyone of their family members could seek assistance at any time. This new beautiful building will ensure we have that space to accommodate all that need help. Please vote YES. It will have a very positive impact on the community.

Dear Commissioner Hall, The League of Women Voters supports access to quality mental health and substance abuse services, and we support the Central Receiving Facility location. It is no secret that the crises in mental health and substance abuse in Collier County has grown dramatically over the past decade. In fact, since 2007, the number of Baker Act cases in Collier County has quadrupled, and there is an URGENT need for a new facility! Your "yes" vote would carry out the will of your constituents. The citizens of Collier County showed their support when they voted to tax themselves — a 1 cent sales tax -- to pay for a mental health center. Your "yes" vote is fiscally responsible. The taxpayers — and the County -- do not have to pay to purchase the land because the David Lawrence Center is donating it. That means that the 1 cent sales tax that has been collected can be used to fund more beds, not to buy the property. Your "yes" vote in favor of this location will carry out the County's long-term vision. The County has long recognized that a new Facility could be built in this location. In 2007, the subdistrict for this site was created. And in 2021, the County Commissioners unanimously approved this location for the new intake center. Your "yes" vote will address some of the neighboring homeowner's concerns. The David Lawrence Center has been serving the community at its nearby location for about 50 years. We understand that neighboring homeowners expressed concerns about trespassers purportedly from the Center on their property. Saying "no" to this facility will not resolve that issue. Even if the Facility is not built on this site, DLC will still operate its nearby location. Saying "yes" to the Facility on this site would actually do more to resolve neighbor's trespass concerns because of improved security. The League cares about mental health, and we believe that you care about giving Collier County citizens easier access to treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues. Delaying the construction of a mental health facility will cost the taxpayers money and will endanger the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. This Facility is needed now. We ask that you vote "yes" to approve this new Facility. Your "yes" vote will save lives. l vt� EAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS' OF COLLIER COUNTY Diane Preston Moore President 239.595.2916 dianeprestonmoore(c)me. com www.lwvcoIIiercounty.org From: Nathan Hewitt To: HallChris Subject: Vote Yes for DLC Date: Monday, February 13, 2023 10:38:52 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL: This email is from an external source.

Hello Collier County Commissioner, My name is Nathan Hewitt and I am a student from Florida Gulf Coast University. I am writing to you today to urge you to vote YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. It is crucial for our community that this facility is approved by you and your fellow commissioners, now. DLC simply does not have enough bed space to house our fellow community members that are in need. DLC being a vital mental health resource in our community for over 50 years has shown the public good that their facilities provide. As a member of the Collier County Board of Commissioners you have the ability to support the expansion of the dire resources needed in our community, right now. The new central receiving facility's location being near DLC will improve the efficiency and collaboration needed to address the ongoing mental health issues our community members are facing. Some may have a "not in our backyard" mentality which shows a lack of empathy, care, and understanding for our community's current and ongoing mental health needs and issues. I have witnessed many of my fellow students and community members struggle with their mental health and have heard of students needing the resources DLC provides. You have the opportunity to make a lifelong and lifesaving impact on our community by voting YES on the current location of the new Collier County central receiving facility that is planned to be built near DLC. I hope that you see this need and join your fellow community members in supporting the mental health needs of our community, now. Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community!

Dear Mr. Hall, As Regional Director of FSU College of Medicine in Immokalee, our faculty and trainees see the need on a regular basis for an inpatient behavioral health facility in Collier. Patients are suffering and the community is negatively impacted by not providing appropriate care to patients. There is nowhere to send our rural and underserved population for care when in need. I strongly urge you to VOTE YES for construction of the behavioral health facility by DLC.

Dear Commissioners, You may know I've been advocating on social media and with the 2600 email subscribers to Sparker's Soapbox in support of the Central Receiving Center to be located next to the David Lawrence Center. As you know, your approval of the proposed Central Receiving Center is a much -needed step toward addressing the overcrowding in our jails. Don't let nimbyism defeat such an important and well -planned project. Vote YES on Feb. 14 in support of the Central Receiving Center. Thank you.
