PATTERSON: Commissioners, agenda changes for Page 5 Page 200 of 4908 August 27, 2024 August 27th, 2024. First is move Item 16G 1. On the change sheet it says 11 C. The actual correct placement, pointed out by Ms. Scott, is 14Al. We're going to hear it at the same time anyway, but we like things to get into the right spots. This is a recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, acting as the Collier County Airport Authority, approve a request from the Collier Mosquito Gontrol District to terminate the existing land lease agreement or hangar construction at the Immokalee Regional Airport and approve tB assessment of damages incurred by the Airport k. t ority. Tnis item is being brought to the regular agenda at the separate requests of each of the comm1ss1oners. Next item, continue , B e eptember , 2024, BCC meeting.

And we tlo have court reporter breaks scheduled for 10:30 and 2:50. With that, County Attorney. MR. KLATZKOW: No changes. Thank you. MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners, ex parte on the summary and consent and any further changes. CHAIRMAN HALL: County Manager, I think we have one public comment on K2. Page 6 Page 201 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 MR. MILLER: 16K2. You have public comment from Ewa Front. MS. FRONT: Good morning, Commissioners. I'm wondering if you could please wait in your opinion on appointing Mr. Jonathan Forester, CEO of Children's Museum, to the Domestic Animal Services Board for Human€ Society seat, as in agreement with Ordinance No. 2004-06 o ~nimal Services Advisory Board. This appointment is on today's oonsent agenda as an Item 16K2. Mr. Forester is currently not an employee ofHuma e Society, but to my understanding, at this time, i associated with chiltlren's museum. I guess the question is, what was tli i tention of our c missioners 20 years ago when using di e word "rep esent ative." For e:X ample, law enforcement representati;y:e. Does it ean we include the representative from the SherifRs DeP-actment , our sheriff has the right to yield this seat tQ anyone, even if n0t inv o ;v ed in law enforcement. If we are going to s~t the pre (>e&ent today , would that mean that the makeup 0 £ DAS Advisory Eoar , is meaningless, that the commission 2Q years ago instead of offering all seats as at large, deleg ted the power to pri vate organizations to further dilute taxpayeFs' iq ower in taxpaye Fs' supported service department. We will have t0 oecide toda~. My unde rstanding is that for 20 years, the interpretation of the composition of e 0 1\S board was very straightforward. And from the public perspectiv e, as per recent tax filing, Humane Society employs 123 people. Out of so many individuals, there is no will to serve and support on DAS Board. I am not an attorney, so I would really appreciate your feedback, because you are dealing with these situations very often. This decision will have significant effect on how advisory board Page 7 Page 202 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 appointments are understood in the present and in the future. Thank you. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner Kowal, ex parte, changes. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I have no changes to the consent agenda, but I would like to just bring attention to one item on there. It's 16A10. It's an easement-use agreement. I just want to --I don't know if I have to, but I'm going to recuse myse f just from that one item due to the fact that that's my neighbor, and he lives in my neighborhood, so --and I know him personall~, so --but other than that, I have no other changes. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commi ssioner Saunder s. COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S : ou. couple things, Mr. Chairman. I have no changes a Ms. Front raised a leg 's on the consent agenda, I beli • n w o I think before we take a vote on e to j ust address that legal issue, the issu representative of the Hum i . s with the appointment, but I think County Attorney's persp tha we r hing that would be improper. So th question £ r. Klatzkow before we vote on that. MR. ZK Well, there was an endorsement letter from the H e Socie y. COMMISSi SAUNDERS: I couldn't hear you. I'm sorry. MR. KLATZKOW: There was an --there was an endorsement letter from the Humane Society for this applicant. And I don't know what else you need. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. So we're not --if we make that appointment, we're not violating -- Page 8 Page 203 of 4908 August 27, 2024 MR. KLATZKOW: Absolutely not. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --the ordinance? Okay. That's all --I just needed that for the record, Mr. Chairman. CHAIRMAN HALL: Thank you. Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Good morning, sir. I have no ex parte nor any changes, just a suggestion. We have several items on today's agenda that are --ha e people that are going to be talking to us that are paid salaried ~mplo~ es of the government and such, and I just --I would lik --0f course, it' :¾Our discretion --but to move things a ound. So if we get into an in-depth discussion on our budget a t s0mething along tnose lines, and we have the folks from the 1\:ieport Authorit~ sitting here waiting for us to move on that agenda ite that got p0pped down to 14, that we jump and take care of those things. ~hat's m only request on the actual agenda itself, sir. CHAIRMJ\N H.AI ~, : Gotcha. Commis . I have no changes or ex ot to belabo the p0. • nt, but on 16K2 where the young lady just spoke, I sked the exact questi0 --and not to put the County Manager on he spot. But wnen we met yesterday, I asked that question beca se a couple citizens had sent me some e-mail, and I wanted a little mor dep h, and I was satisfied with her answer. So I don't know if you want to give us a short version just for the record to sort of wrap this up. It's your call. But I appreciated the depth of your answer, and it satisfied my concern. MS. PATTERSON: So he is --Mr. Forester is coming as a recommendation from the Humane Society so, obviously, they wouldn't be recommending something that they didn't want. They Page 9 Page 204 of 4908 August 27, 2024 do have a specific seat designated for them. He is a former employee of the Humane Society, so he is familiar with their mission, and he does bring a depth of expertise, obviously, from the not-for-profit side of the house, even with his affiliation with the children's museum. So it may provide a different perspective than some of the other expertise that is currently sitting on the board. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: T an you, sir. CHAIRMAN HALL: I have no cl1ang s, no ex parte, and with that can I get a motion to approve the c0nsen agenda? aye. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL : So move . COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Second.

I mean, Kathleen, you an :J0Ji ave been friends of mine for as long as I can remember. Your advice to me once I became an elected official was immeasurable, immeasurable. I've watched how you do what you do. I've watched how you legislate. During the COVID adventure was a very, very tenuous time, and she literally talked me off the ledge two or three different times Page 14 Page 210 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 while I was going nuts with the barrage of media that was coming at us. People get all caught up on implicit agreement, whether or not you're a good legislator because I don't agree with one of your votes along the way, and that's --it's something that I'd like to ultimately see an adjustment. The overall good that you have done /or 0ur community is immeasurable . It's no secret that the G0ve 0r's Moving Florida Forward initiative was a billion dollars &f direl~ needed infrastructure for Collier County. Eight-laning of I-75 from 951 qp to Corkscrew. The diverging diamond at 951, the iverging diamond at Pine Ridge right at 100 --almost $200 million. For our little Imm kalee for the round --for the loop road and the four-la ing of State Road 29.

MR. MILLER: Good morning, Mr. Chair. We have five registered speakers on this topic today. Your first speaker is James Reese. He will be followed by Jim Rich. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Pick a podium. MR. REESE: I appreciate your time, a , d I'll try to make this quick because I've got three minutes, right? Back in May, I contacted your offi,ee, F. Saunders, about --I live across from where you're going t pt1t in, ~ou know, the new subsidized housing across from w ere the Golden 6:ate Golf Course lS. So at any rate, I was sent on ·, ent p And my only request was that thene be some --ount o pri:vacy that I'm going to lose. This is out a year ago thinking I had a lot of priva ave to look forward to. I've reall~ not gotten any res e>ns.e. S0m I get emotional about it, but --you kno , moved down h:ere, and it's just a matter of privacy. I'v served the O\(er the course of years. I'm happy what ;rou're a:oing. l'¥e servea fo , ~(:}U know, low-income housing units • n Cincinnati :where I '3ame from. I have no problem with any of that, but I do have a proolem with being ignored when it's --my entire privac of what l just purchased is gone. So all I'm asking is for just a little bit of help from you guys. My comment's in my e-mail, and I'll end it at that. You have all these trees that line that boulevard that you're going to destroy, shred up, and probably send to some landfill. Repurpose them, put it in my lot between the road and the 70 feet you have between that and the canal. I'm just asking that I leave here with some action item --actionable item that we can move forward with, and I Page 17 Page 213 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 appreciate your time. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: If you would get ahold ofmy office. I'm not sure what type of buffering there's going to be. And there's a lot of work that's going to be done in that area with the widening of 951, and so we'll have a conversation about what those buildings are going to look like and how that' going to affect your property. But you'll have to get ahold of me. MR. REESE: I did, but I will try aga·n. MR. MILLER: Your next speak er-• s Jim Rich. He will be followed by Danielle Cassette. MR. RICH : Good afternoon, Commissioners. q-'hanks for your time. As you are aware , al ou z on, For e ove of Cats, offers several progr e ubhe, our primary mission has always focused on TNR, tra , neut nd r rying to cut down on the number i::ilized ~ats ur co There is a ar e an tionall spect imal welfare organization in m1a <e alle ie's Fund. Their focus is animal behav ior, communit~ outrea~li , community law enforcement and laws, live QUt ~omes, organiza i0naI management, veterinary and behav. • o manage ent, and grants. THe~ j ust came out with a new community cat calculator based on the human populatio of the county --community, I should say, which estimates how many stray cats would have to be sterilized each year to even begin tg make a difference. That number for our county is approximately 900. Ten days ago, For the Love of Cats conducted its second Cat Nip Clinic Spay Day using the facilities at DAS with 73 cats being trapped, vaccinated, and sterilized. We consider this a tremendous success; however, there is still a far cry from the goal that is required to get ahead of the problem. Now, without a surgical vet at DAS to Page 18 Page 214 of 4908 August 27, 2024 accommodate the owned and stray cats brought in by the public, this situation has become even worse. Commissioners, our animal community is in a crisis mode. Since DAS's cat intake closing, we have been inundated with calls from the public desperate with what to do with the stray, friendly, even pregnant cats and kittens they are coming across. If they are feral, we can still help them by trapping the ca -s, sterilizing them, and returning them to their habitats. Howe Ner, what about the friendly adoptable cats and kittens or those cats who are ready to give birth? If the public has nowhere to go witli di em, these cats and kittens will remain on the street, adding to tHe a ready enormous cat overpopulation. At the last DAS advisory. board meeting on Tuesday, several board members and memb€rs Qfthe public inquired as to why DAS couldn't rent a couple of air-~o , d1tioned trailers to house the sick cats rather than entirely closing inta~, . The answer liy Jami French is that tne fi ne department would deem this illegal. Howev€r, I hav;e been involved with Humane Society and QAS long nough to krlow that both organizations at one time 0r nothe t did bring trailers onto their property when there were outbrea s of ringworm. 'm not questioning Jamie's knowledge. I'm just say.ing that this was done before so that there must be a way of making • t happen now.. Beginning next yea , For the Love of Cats would like to become even more aggress i~e in its TNR efforts. Unfortunately, this requires considera6 le time and funding. Should I stop or --okay, sorry. I'll make this very quick. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You've got thirty seconds. MR. REESE: And funding, basically, runs us about $7,800 per --every time you do a surgery. Currently DAS is overwhelmed with cats and kittens whose overcrowding has led to highly Page 19 Page 215 of 4908 August 27, 2024 contagious panleukopenia or distemper virus. By financially supporting the efforts of non-profit organizations such as SNIP Collier, For the Love of Cats, Camp Many Paws, and Paradise Gardens, we have the ability to hire vets independently and do large-scale trapping and sterilization. This would also reduce the number of cats and kittens coming into DAS. It would certainly help the county. So I know you're working on sometning, and we would appreciate --we appreciate everythi g y0u're ing to do to help us financially with this. We do have a small film, w ich I'm not going CHAIRMAN HALL: Thank ~ou, MF. Rich. MR. RICH: --because I ran out of time. CHAIRMAN HALL: hank you. MR. RICH: Thank you \Z ery m ch. MR. MILL2R: \(our next speaRer is Dan· e1le Cassette. She'll be followed b~ Ewa Fr~ t . COMMISSIONER SAUNDE~S: While the speaker's coming up, Mr. Qhairman, I a ted t make just a quick comment, because it might help some of tl i e speakers Here. When we got • nto our budget i sue --I've handed out some material fo you dealing with pet overpopulation that was presented to me. And we have a fund in our budget for spay and neutering cats and dogs. hat I'm going to ask the Board to do is to give our staff real total discretion 0n how to spend those dollars. Right now they can only be spent on spay and neutering in our DAS facility. And so we're going to try to --I'm going to ask the Board to build into the budget flexibility so staff can do a voucher program where people can get a ticket to take to a vet or another organization for spay and neutering, mobile spay and neutering, just giving staff real flexibility so we can get our arms around this problem. That Page 20 Page 216 of 4908 August 27, 2024 will be coming up later this morning, Mr. Chairman. But I wanted the speakers to understand that that's going to be an issue that's going to be raised. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Danielle Cassette. She'll be followed by Ewa Front. MR. CASSETTE: Hello. Good morning. I'm Danielle Cassette. I'm the creative content specialist with For the Love of Cats. So we just wanted to show you -Qm our most recent Cat Nip Spay and Neutering Clini just sho g how much hard work that we are putting in for hel 1n the cat overpo ulation problem. Thank you.

I don't think the Florida Weekly also liked the adv isemeni of their newspaper being used to, you know, collect the --you ight want to, you know, blur that out a little. MS. FRONT: B ood morning, again. Commissioners, I'm asking for your feedback today in considering introducing emergency contracts with local veterinarians as well as permanent contracts, given our shelter does not have a surgical veterinarian on staff, sadly, again. I brought just an example from the daily past on our local Page 21 Page 217 of 4908 August 27, 2024 Naples or Collier County pages among others, whether it's moms or community pages. You see it's just an overwhelming amount of animals living outside that are just breeding senselessly. We have a disease outbreak at our shelter. And I'm not an expert in veterinary fields, so to bring you the most reliable information, I have reached out and consulted with Dr. Cynda Crawford. She is a professor --she holds pro essorship chair in shelter medicine at the College of Veterinai::ian Medicine, University of Florida. Dr. Crawford was cons Jted 1n a Fecent decision about suspending the cat intake and is familiar with Collier County shelter operation by helping with our shelter assessment last year. Currently, DAS is closed for cat intak€ w·thout prov'ding an alternative service to our ommunity ue to feline parvovirus. Plea to our leadership for transparen6¥.. Please do not leave our community guessing by not pr0v1tling specifics for reopening. According to the stanaard-of-care guielehnes fo t reopenings, our shelter can be a ely re~pened i o 1 Q days there are no new cases, or other options are seven alays at • he earliest and 14 days at the latest. ransparen6¥. matters. Can the Collier County please make these guidelines public and communicate the amount of infected animal , new cases claily so e can rely on actual data and not vague language on Facebook 17ost fo reopening? The tsunami of kittens during the summer months contributes to the shelter being beyond capacity for care and subsequent disease outbreaks such as anleukopenia, leaving community without Plan B for rescue of injure tl . .and pregnant cats at this moment leads to the vicious cycle and contributes to the emergency that we are having at hand. Closing the shelter for cat intake creates the self-perpetuating cycle. More cats left outside will breed, leading to overcrowding, and then increased risk of disease outbreak. Page 22 Page 218 of 4908 August 27, 2024 Solution: Please do enter into emergency agreement with handful of veterinarians short-term to perform lifesaving procedures, serve taxpayers, solicit bids from all veterinary offices in Collier County, ensuring a competitive process for establishing long-term partnership. I was able to go into a couple of veterinaFians and ask for special dates --ask special rates because, you kno , the situation at DAS, and it wasn't difficult. CHAIRMAN HALL: All right. ~hank ¥0U, miss. MS. FRONT: Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your final egi stered speaker OF Item 7 is Lynn Dierksmeier. MS. DIERKSMEIER: Good mo ·ng, again, everyone. I'm Lynn Dierksmeier. I was ~rev:iously the ounder and operator of a small shelter in Miami befon~ mov:ed to N anles. And I'm coming t0 you tnis morning real y. with an aching heart. And I appeal t ~ou on a heart-to-h a connection because of what's going on. DS ~ sic] has --as everyone has stated, has closed their intake beeause of a anleukQPeuia outbreak. Hearsay has it, and appa:rently it's been confirmed, that tH@ vet who was hired from out of state, ose mov • ng costs were covered, has already put in their notice. That may or may n0t be true. Spay an neuter --but w at is true is spay and neuters are not being perf ormeo. Domestic animals that are in need of surrender cannot be taken i . Ferals will be left in their colonies to reproduce. One cat can produc~ 144 kittens in its lifetime. Families who want to adopt have to look elsewhere. DSA [sic] did not offer adoption alternatives. They did offer adoption alternatives to the public in their announcement release --their outbreak release, but nothing else. FVP is not a new disease. All shelters have dealt with this since the formation of animal shelters. Consequently, there should Page 23 Page 219 of 4908 August 27, 2024 be safeguards in place to contain and manage an outbreak or to prevent the actual cessation of feline intake with --you know, to prevent this. The primary cause of FVP outbreaks are overcrowding and malnourishment, which brings about a suppressed immune system, which f erals often suffer from. In addition to proper procedures being i place, there has to be oversight and trained personnel to see that his contagious disease is halted or eliminated or at least containea. But it happens. It happens in --it's what happens. So now because it does happen in shelters all over, there should have been a Plan B in place. Nowt e e's no intake a AS, and there should have been something to refer people who need to surrender their pets or f erals • need of spa and neutering. So I'm also for a TNR program. I thank you very much, Representative Saunaers --or Commissioner Saunders, for saying that we can do TNR elseW\here. <9n S • turclay went to PetSmart, and I got a voucher from "¼AS Volunteer Animal Services so I could get free spay and ne t€rs, ana there ere five listed, but only three of those are iable, beca se the other ~harges 210.

Item #14Al Page 24 Page 220 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, ACTING AS THE COLLIER COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY, APPROVE A REQUEST FROM THE COLLIER MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT TO TERMINATE THE EXISTING LAND LEASE AGREEMENT FOR HANGAR CONSTRUCTION AT THE IMMOKALEE REGIONAL AIRPORT (IMM~ AND APPROVE THE ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES IN GU &RED BY THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY.

MS. P, TTERSON: 0r answer questions. MS. SC @TT: es, however it may be. COMMISS ONER McDANIEL: Do you want to present? MS. SCOT ~· o much to present. The executive summary really speaks for itself. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. And I was pleased to see that everybody --sorry, Mr. Chair. CHAIRMAN HALL: Go ahead. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I just --I saw No. 1 pop up, so I just remembered that I was. Page 25 Page 221 of 4908 August 27, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: Do it. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I was pleased that everybody actually pulled this. I have to say out loud we're sad to hear that the Mosquito Control is changing their plans and aren't going to be relocating, at least in the immediate term, their headquarters over in Immokalee. We all thought that was a reall~ good idea for a whole bunch of things, but it's not going to come o ruition. So I'm --I would like to make a m0tion for approval of the cancellation of the lease and a waiver o the r quidated damages. It makes no sense to me to take a pot from one taxpayer money --same taxpayer to another taxpayer's m0ne~. So I'd like t0 -waive the --whatever it is --that 18,000 OF Stl that's theoretica 1~ accumulated rent that we :wouldn't hav€ gotten. So that's my motion, Slf. COMMISSIONER CHAIRMAN H~LL: 0mmissione Lo G:astro. COMMISS e>NER ~oCAS ~ O· I just anted to peel back the onion a little bit before we act like we're rubber stamping $14, OOO-and--chang€ e*cusal. , understana ·1 1s --you know, ·t• county to county, but it is a little --two different color of money. When I talked with the staff, there's certainly some oiscuss1Gn to have --I also like to be consistent in my vote. So when we have citizens sitting here that incur a penalty, and we'v.e changed our policy to not just go from, you know, a $100,000 penalt to zero --I realize this one is 14-. I'm not --I'm not sitting here falling on my sword over waiving it, but I want --I pulled it because I wanted to have discussion on it before we just say, okay, you know, the contract is more expensive. They want to terminate the lease and also be excused of any penalty. Because as I said, the staff in my office actually made some good points that you could support to not excuse the amount or lessen the Page 26 Page 222 of 4908 August 27, 2024 amount and find somewhere sort of in the middle so we're being consistent not only with citizens but with our own county staff. I asked if there were things that Mosquito Control could have done that might have minimized the penalty, might have tightened the timeline a little bit, and maybe they wouldn't be sitting on a $14,000 penalty. And I heard things that defi itely had merit. So, you know, I don't know if anybod else has any other questions or if Ms. Scott, you know, you can Ghime in. I'm not looking for you to necessarily steer t e ote, b ·t's easy for us to just say, oh, you know, it's the county, o let them of:K It's taxpayer money, but it is different pots, and so, you know, I tlon't want to just --I wanted to have discussion o the P,€nalty. The termination oft e h~ase is 0 6 ious . But give a little deeper dive similar to what we tal eel ab0ut in m~ office as to why that, necessarily, just an automatie excusal of the l4-~ you know, might not hold 100 percent water QOssibl ~. MS. SCO:f 'l!. Ifl may, the MosEJ.uito Control, they did meet the time frames noted in the iir lease wi H the exception of commencing constru tie>n. They, iel go out to bid. Their bids came in higher, and then d i ey kind of took a step Bac R.s to evaluate those bids. I mean, we've all been kin o expenencing that. From a staff perspective e don't waive fees. That's not part of our authority. We would bring that to the Board, and that's certainly the Board's p easure. M'hat we have put into place with the new lease policy is we shouldn't get into this situation again because our new lease policy requires that someone would start paying within 90 days. So we wouldn't have this long time frame. Certainly, in the last few years, we have been coordinating with the Florida Department of Transportation for access to Mosquito Control for the loop road that we just talked about with Senator Passidomo. We're very appreciative of that new project. So these were damages that Page 27 Page 223 of 4908 August 27, 2024 were calculated based on if the rent would have started based on the construction commencement date. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Were there --were there things that they could have done in retrospect that would have lessened this fine or would have sped up things that would have prevented them from being in arrears, you kn0w, 14,000-plus, looking back on it that they were, you know, possibly aware of and maybe moving a little slower or other th · ngs that could have done that --could have prevented them from having this bill to pay? MS. SCOTT: Well, as I said, they met all 0 the marks within the --within the lease agreement as far as their --getting their plans to us in a timely fashion, and that incl des an FAA review Federal A via ti on Administration review. So they -they did the best that they could and, like I said, with the bid situation, they took that step back and evaluated that bid, hich is what we ould have done as well, so ... COMMISS e>NER ~oCAS CHAIRM~ C aniel. COMMISSIO Let me help you. There's har I don't need help, but go ahea . C IO IEL: Are you going to vote for it? And then I do ' ave to give my spiel. COMMISSIONER! LoCASTRO: No. Go ahead. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: If you want to hear --there's hardly anybody who knows more about what's going on at the Immokalee airport than myself. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I would hope so. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. And there's a whole bunch of important factors here. Page 28 Page 224 of 4908 August 27, 2024 We have redone the lease terms, the circumstances. We have a new airport director now that actually has his finger on the button as to what's, in fact, going on out there. The original lease that they --that we entered into with the Airport Authority was at 11 cents a square foot. Our new square footage now is up to 22 cents a square foot. We've instituted the time frames wit re ,ard to the rental commencement so that we're not having peoJ)le tie up pieces of property that we own that we can collect evenu from without paying us. We're landowners, and e deserve the rent that's, in fact, paid. So the rationale there --I appreciate :x0u questions, and I certainly don't mean any disrespect to those questions. It's just there's a whole --whole bunch o ~things tllat are going on behind this. And my motion was --again, we're all the same taxpayers that are out there, and moving mone y; from one ~ot to another to compensate fo s0metfi ing that j1i1s ci:rcumsta tially transpired didn't wash with me, a d that as the premise of my motion. COMMISSIO BR Lo J\STRQ: Okay. e klRMAN HALk : om issioner Saunders. <9MMISS16l ER S UNDE S: The way I see this, it's $14,000 mQre for Mosquito Control to go out and kill more mosquitoes. So I'll supRort tl i e motion. COMM SS ,ONER LoCASTRO: Well, my goal is met. I didn't want this tQ be on the consent agenda, and it sounded like none of us did. I don't think we all pulled it just to say --to vote for it in 10 seconds, but also, too, I want to make sure that we send the message to the public that if Mr. and Mr. Jones comes up here to the podium and they owe us $14,000 and we grill them for 15 minutes and then we lower it to 8---and I realize every circumstance is different --but that we talk just as much about things that are within Page 29 Page 225 of 4908 August 27, 2024 the county. And if there's a special circumstance for a county agency or a citizen, that we take those into consideration and that --you know, that's why I didn't want it to look like it was just buried on the consent agenda with an automatic approval. I didn't have a strong sense that I was here to fight it, but I wanted t0 have what just happened now, which was the discussion. '.An I hope they take Commissioner Saunders' advice, and we kill $J 4,000 worth more of mosquitoes. So I don't know Mosq_uito eontrol --oh, there's --is that Patrick back there? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It is. COMMISSIONER LoCASTR<J: Okay. So 14,00Q kills a lot of mosquitoes. But certainly. understana the extenuating and unique circumstance and, you know, I think the mo ·on's already been made and seconded, but I appreciate the d1 eussion, so we didn't just sort of pass over this one.

Item #llB TO CONSIDER AND PROVIDE DIRECTION RELATIVE TO BARRON COLLIER COMPANIES' PROPERTY EXCHANGE Page 30 Page 226 of 4908 August 27, 2024 PROPOSAL FOR 439 ACRES(+/-) AT COUNTY-OWNED CAMP KEAIS FOR PROPERTY. (ED FINN, DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER) (DISTRICT 5) -MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND TO BRING BACK A LOT OF DETAILS FOR THIS PROPOSAL BY COMMISSIONER MCDANIEL; SECONDED BY COMMISSIQNER LOCASTRO - APPROVED (COMMISSIONER HALL OPBOSED) MS. PATTERSON: Commiss·,o , 11B is a recommendation to consider and p v·ae direction relative to Barron Collier Companies property chang or 439 s plus/minus at county-owned Cam Mr. Ed Finn is here to resent. MR. FINN: Thank Thank you, Mr. Chai In June we received a 1 lier Companies desirous of acMie e his • ttle photo on this page shows the combined C eais r0 e y, which is the property to the le a · ollier Companies' property is to the vli ay, I gh this. I simply want the Boar 0nsider -~- CO MMIS SI O cDANIEL: No. I was asking Nick to come sit next '.Amy. MS. PATTERSON: Take his old seat. MR. FINN: Simply, this is our objective today is to get some direction from the Board on how they want to proceed. And if I may, just a location map. Towards the top, we have the proposed Silver Strand swap parcel. In the middle, just for reference, is Ave Maria identified, and then the Camp Keais parcel is towards the bottom of this photo. Page 31 Page 227 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 Letters of intent. Barron Collier Companies provided a letter of intent to do a land swap with the Silver Strand 3 grove for approximately 439 acres of Camp Keais. Over the years, we have received --and we have been working with the fair board and the swamp buggy recently. They both provided letters of intent to acquire property at Camp Keais, and both oft em are essentially at 100 acres of developable property. Just a little background on the puroli:as . It was purchased in March of '21 , about 13 ,000 an acre . ~t the tim ·twas noted that the property would provide for the relocation of the ~ iFgrounds, swamp buggy facility, potentially oppo nities for parks, pu lie safety, hurricane debris management, horti 6ultural processing, and potentially workforce hou ing. We lia¥e been working on some programming efforts there. Yv..e've looked at some additional uses, including a public safety, Sli©riff's ffice train ing center, Domestic Animal Services facilit Y., and commei cial and po entially industrial uses. This is anothe i shot of the Camp Keais property itself. Just to br ing y 0u into tli e v.icinity of the Silver Strand swap parcel, ~0u'll see note cl above there is the Seminole Casino. The roads pitting --the r oad Ki nd of go ing down the middle. I'm sorry. These pioperties to tae nort 1s Stockade Road. And the county owns in exGes'8 of 100 acres tliere that's used presently. And Bauon Collier Companies provided this as a mockup of how this Silver Stran property may be used for our uses: Future CCSO site, in the midclle is a sense of the swamp buggy and fairground site, and towards the bottom is low-intensity, low-impact uses. Again, we started off with this shot, and this gives you a sense, again, of the Camp Keais, the Barron Collier parcel. And the orange or tan area identified as 439 acres, that's the proposed acquisition or Page 32 Page 228 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 swap from Camp Keais to Barron Collier Companies. Some considerations that staff would like you to think about, the Board may want to consider a cash option. We, of course, would want to go through appropriate due diligence to ensure --if we go forward, to ensure that we get the proper value, so appraisals and other due diligence, and we would recommend, as this was unsolicited, that Barron Collier Companies be responsible for the cost of the due diligence and the appraisals. With that, that's our recommendation, and I' 1 be happy to answer any questions or relinquish th€ microphone as the Board sees fit. CHAIRMAN HALL: Are n to hear fr Mr. Casalanguida? COMMISSIONER ant to. We can keep him quiet, if you want to, t CHAIRMAN H~LL: COMMISSie>NER Mc --he won't speak unless we have questio missioner McDaniel, go ahe : Do we have public speakers, Troy? MR. MI LLER: 1 e do not. COMM S ONER McDANIEL: Okay. Let's just rally this all Ill. If you would u the site map up, Ed. There you go. When Mr. Casalanguida was our Deputy County Manager, he helped orchestrate the acquisition of this piece of property. It was always intended to be the location --relocation of our Collier County Fair. That was the original intent. We were going to put it in the southeast corner down there. And then when Mr. Casalanguida left Page 33 Page 229 of 4908 August 27, 2024 and his now new boss, who isn't new at all --I won't say his name. He gets mad at me when I say his name on TV --realized that there was about to be a carnival next door to their fancy Rod N Gun Club, they didn't think that was such a great idea. So they came up with this compromise, which I have to say out loud I love the compromise. I love the thoug t process. It still gives us 500 acres or so over to the west side of the Camp Keais piece, as we've all dubbed this in the past. T e new location --if you would show that picture again, on the nottli ~iece --that piece right there, we already own land going up to the stockade, and we'll facilitate access for our sheriff. We all know we've talked abou relocating the pubUG gun range that the Sheriff operates off o Camp ~eais · oad. We all know we've talked about a locati0n for horticuirural debris reception, and especially during hurricane clean fl times. e all know that we talked about reloeation of the fo r ever swarn12 buggy and the legacy that travels along with ~u r-swam buggy in tfi home of Naples, Florida, and, of course, au relocation of our Collier County Fair. So certainly am not asking us to do anything out of Hoyle. We want to folloW, the necessary rocedures. This was an unsolicited request . Banon Collier has offered up to reimburse for the appr isal. We'll go thro gh the appraisal process. We'll have a look at those appraisals. Those appraisals will come back to this board for the ltimate determination as to --as to what we do. Whether or not we roceed with the transaction or not, we're still able to use the estem portion of the Camp Keais piece. We can still locate the swamp buggy and the fairgrounds down there on the southwest comer of that piece of property. This piece of property that is being proposed for the exchange is a portion of --or included in the Immokalee Area Water and Sewer District. So we have the capacity of moving utilities down there to help support any Page 34 Page 230 of 4908 August 27, 2024 future developments. I mean, it's --it just checks a lot of boxes. Of course, it has to work on a financial basis, and I think just the relationship that our county has had with Barron Collier since the beginning of time, I'm going to make a recommendation to move forward as, in fact, is recommended by our staff to move forward with the transaction, get the appraisals, have a discussion, and then we can flip our coin as to whether or not finane1al renumeration is necessary or an increase in the size of th e , change is necessary and the valuations are all in line. Did I miss anything? CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner LoCastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTR<J: I just eard from Commissioner McDaniel some of the missing pieces that I clidn't have. I mean, I knew this was 0ur distri , so I wanted to hear if it was something that maybe y@u had receive fe€dback from citizens that weren't happy, or you personall:x. I:ike y0u have a lot of time invested and s n • 0rity into this --you ow, t ese land deals. The only piece --and I echoed his in a meeting in my office yesterday. A lot o ~ttmes fien we're swapping, you know, land for land, i 'snot al ays ap~l~s to apples. Sometimes it's a better deal for us and a worse dea for, you ow, tne others, but in this particular case, I think, as you said, tnis is an unsolicited proposal that has come to us. As you b ing f orwand the deal, as you start to peel back the details --and I said tnis • n the office, I just want to make sure that --or I'd be very impressed if the Collier family picked up the expenses along the way that make this deal possible and that we don't pass it on to the taxpayers. In the end, I think this is 51 percent good for the Collier family and 51 percent good for us. You know, if you count like --it's not a horrible thing, but maybe it's 51 for them and 49 for us. Page 35 Page 231 of 4908 August 27, 2024 So just as we --as we get details on this deal, I know there's --there are expenses that are inherently buried in, you know, making this happen, the cost of the appraisal and some other things that we'll find out about when this comes back to us. And I would just say to Mr. Casalanguida, be as generous as possible, because we're here supporting the ta¾payer, and if we're getting something great out of this, awesome. ut it would be very favorable, if it was a fair exchange of --on tli e financial side, especially, you know, for the count): ana for the taxpayers, and then I would --I would have no issue witfi • i unless theFe as some unforeseen detail that came forwar . But that's s1tlon. CHAIRMAN HALL: I see littl ifferent see this as a great benefit to the Collier family to get t irgrounds and the swamp buggy awa un Club, and they can still accomplish that. I ju s a 1 e bit different. They co ir • f the Silver Strand to get them to e have had --have expressed in erty. Swamp buggy peopl • uld take it or leave it. But they c er Strand, and we could maintain amp as it ts right now. As fa _l\ as an appraisal, I d0n't see that one's needed. I don't see why we sH0 l e eitHer limited or subject to an opinion of a third party. If t the yroperty, they can simply make an offer, and we could acce reject it. An appraisa sh0uldn't even be considered. It's just a matter of market value, its worth to them, and whether it's worth it to us to sell or not. I don't --I see --I can see some benefit to what you said about benefit to the swap for the county, but I see mainly the benefit for the other party. It's really beneficial for them to get --to get their Page 36 Page 232 of 4908 August 27, 2024 neighbors quiet. And whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't --I don't think it's good or bad. It's just a matter of what would be more beneficial to them. They could sell outright to the fairgrounds and the swamp buggy people, and they could purchase outright from us what they need to expand. So whether it needs to be a swap with an appraisal and all that, I don't necessarily see it that way. Commissioner Kowal. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: ~H ank you, Chairman. Well, I'm really going to go outside the box n what I'm going to say here, so ... You know, this is unsolicited. They oame to us. :E idently, you know, they feel a nee te, you know, come to us an for their benefit in some way for thei r, project. But if I'm going to do an Ian waps o t anything like that, I want to make suJ?e it's something that we reJ1of j ust moving fairgrounds or hings like that. I mean, if t e Collier family's serious and if we want fG sit down and reall~ negotiate some land swaps, if they can look at possibly some nropefties that --because, you know, they -at one point with the park, Paradise Sports Park, we took 300 a res away frG our andfill to l5 uild that park, and that's 300 acres we're not going to lia_v e in the future for our landfill and our waste mana ement. And we're running out of space in this county to expand that, that piece of property. ~nd our children, our grandchildren in the future are going to ave to be leasing property in another county just to take our garbage. And if you want to start adding up price tags, that's going to be a big price tag we're going to leave on our children if we don't start getting ahead of this because of the property that we diminished away from the ability for the landfill to expand over there. So I'm trying to think, if it's unsolicited, let's all sit down and Page 37 Page 233 of 4908 August 27, 2024 really think of something that can work for everybody, and if they have other property in mind, maybe a 300-, 400-acre parcel somewhere that we can say, all right, we can --be a future landfill for us and a partial to maybe put, you know, the other part of the Silver Strand. We might not need all of it for the fairgrounds or the swamp buggy. But, you know, this is actually sitting down at the table and doing something for the future of the co nt~ and not just saying --you know, we already have a :fairground. We already have a swamp buggy park. We're just talkiing about ndocating it. But, you know, if we really want to be serious and do something, I think it's a legacy thing th t W,ill eally li long and save us money over a long pe iod of ti e. ;r'hat might o an angle to go at, and sit down with th:€ f OU know, o~ganization and maybe go in that direction. But like I said, I'm just tHi:owing this 0ut, outside-of-the-box type deal, and omething to thin a out, so .. CHAIRM~ ALL: Com , issioner McDaniel. COMMISSIO BR McDr\NIEL: Yes. Let's circle the wagons again fieve. We'v e owned this iece of property for close to five years-·sh. Plus OF m·nus ~ Am I correct with that assumption? M . RINN: Mar€h o '21. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Over three years we've owned this pu~ce of pn,perty. We just initiated --the Camp Keais piece. We just ini'tiated the consultant to do the rezone for the uses of that Camp Keais piece of property, which is astounding to me that we owned a piece of property for three years and didn't even start to do the rezoning process. We are, in fact, doing that. We are not, in that rezoning process, taking away any of the potential uses of the lands that are, in fact, left. We're going to have multiple bites at this apple if, in fact, Page 38 Page 234 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 this transaction, in fact, goes forward. There are benefits to both Collier County and to Barron Collier Company by effectuating this exchange. I'm totally in support of protecting the taxpayers . Always have been, always will be . It has to be a fair transaction for all parties concerned . The one thing I do want to address today and actually bring up is as we move forward , we have debt on this pie e e of property. We borrowed money. The county borrowed o -ey to buy this piece of property , and we have to be careful w ith the as ociated debt that securitizes the loan that was utilize cl e>r this acq isition. So we have to --the due diligence needs to g0 ta rough. I have had long, long, long con er sati0 s with bo tn the swamp buggy board and the fair board with regara t o their MOUs and their potential utilization of the ('.amP. eais p1€c of property. They're both aware of the potential o this exchange, and the ultimate goal is to go through th exchange process. his boar<l makes a determination as to wfi etfi er or n t we want to do it. And then offer up both pieces o t pr ope~, the west 500 or so of the Camp Keais piece and this north ie e, as I'm designating it, up along Immokalee Road soutn of town, as a1ternati \l es fop the swamp buggy and the fair boarcl s to choose f1:om to u x their 100 acres. And. you're not wrong in your statements, Mr. Chair, with regard to BCB an Barron Coll ier being able to sell them a piece of property. Tl1at's certainly well within their rights. But I --we av:e an affordable housing issue. We have --we have a lot of circumstances that that north 500 could be a benefit to our sheriff with the relocation and a facility for the new gun range, an indoor gun range right up by the stockade and on property that we already, in fact, own. There's a lot of benefits, I think, to this --to at least proceeding forward with the semantics of the transaction. The appraisals, Mr. Chair, I don't agree with you. I think that's Page 39 Page 235 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 an imperative process for us to be able to make a determination on valuations. We bought this piece of property for 13,000 an acre. We have expended money in zoning and the upkeep and so ons and so forth. And now we've gone into contract on another piece of property within three, four miles from this at --how much, 22 ,000 an acre for the Williams Farm? MR. FINN: Order of magnitude -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: eafi , plus or minus. It's north of $20 ,000 an acre. So there is a sfi ift 1F1 lue. So having the appraisals accomplished will delineate all that, oF ing it all to light, and then we'll all be able to look at it and make a d iscussion. And, Commissioner Kowal, w • the landfill, we're not done with that. We're n • stretch o f) the imagination. If you'll recall, one o staff's working on it. We had disc:u • --fi landfill in a new location is lite 1 f So expansion, utilization , be e • • a e an s by the existing landfill , th fact, going to have going forwa Qne of my goals in t is next term of tenure as your county commissioner is for s to --o~ us to come away with longevity added. I think the lifesP,an currently for the landfill is like '65, 2065, plus or minus. '.A nd I iWant to take that out another 40 or 50 years in these next four yeai s. CHAIRMAN MALL: Commissioner Locastro. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: I think we're getting close to a vote, but I just wanted to read what we're voting on. "Recommendation to consider and provide direction relative to Barron Collier Companies." So my direction, I'm not a real estate agent, but I often hear this term from people who are, "Bring me an Page 40 Page 236 of 4908 August 27, 2024 offer I can't refuse" or --like they said in the Godfather, right? So I would just say to Mr. Casalanguida but also to you, Mr. Finn, is bring us an offer we shouldn't refuse when you start peeling back the onion or bring us something that makes the most sense for the county and the taxpayer. And I do see this as more of a benefit. I think everybody would, like the Chairman said to the Collier family, that's why they came to us. I mean, it's not a secret, bu there's also some benefit, you know, to the county. So bring us sgmething, you know, that makes sense. And that's all we're ofng on toda~, to have you move forward and come back with a lo more detail, and I ;wQuld hope that detail would be so overwhelming in NOsitiv way for ooth sides, but certainly for us -- CO MMIS SI ONER McID NIEL: Ri g t. COMMISSIONER Lo CSA S'r 0: --fo t he taxpayer, that the discussion would 6e, you know I don't want to ayr minimal, but would be, you know, obvious. ½\:nd Sf) having said that --I don't know, did some , ocly make a motien:? COMMISSIO BR cD1\,NIEL: I made a motion to move f o , , s rec0mmen MISS:D . Okay. I'll second it, unless there's SQmebody else lit up. I'm sorry. CHA AN HA,L : Commissioner Saunders. COMM SS ONE, SAUNDERS: Just real quickly, I think whenever we're uy;ing, selling, or exchanging property, we need to have appraisals to ma e sure that we're doing the right thing in terms of values. And I think, Mr. Casalanguida, you've heard the discussion. It sounds like you need to kind of sharpen your pencil a little bit, along with staff, to come back with some proposal that we can see the real benefit. Page 41 Page 237 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 I don't have any problem with what's being proposed at all, but I'm just suggesting that there is some --some bit of resistance, so you may want to sharpen your pencil a little bit and come back with a proposal that, as Commissioner LoCastro said, it would be impossible for us to say no to. CHAIRMAN HALL: And I'll just follow up before we vote, before I call for it. As far as the appraisal, I made the eomment "I don't feel like we should be limited or subject to a third 11 arty." W.e know what we paid for the property. That's nob 0cl)) else's business. So if we want to exchange it or if we want to sell ·t , whenever the offer comes in, then we can determine whether that's going to be worth it or not. If we wanted to buy an app naisal then, we could. But if th appraisal came back at 20,000 an acre a a it was v aluable enough to the other party where they were willing to a;y $24,00Q an acre, then why should we be lim rte to the ap Ps raisal ? That was my point. The debt on t e pro erty is nother --i another consideration and --to be fair to the taxpayers. I guess my hes· t t ion in the wUole deal to move forward is I don't want t o sett e trai a rolling. I don't want --I don't want it to appear like this is good de 1, and we're going to do this, and we're moving f omv ard at all. So w ith that, we'v.e got a motion and a second to approve it as it's written. 1\.11 in fa Vi or, say aye. COMMISSION £~ McDANIEL: Aye . COMMISSION~R LoCASTRO: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: Aye. CHAIRMAN HALL: All opposed? Aye. MR. FINN: Very nice. Thank you. Page 42 Page 238 of 4908 August 27, 2024 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And there we go. MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners, we could take Item 15Bl, which is staff report on the headworks project, and then take our 10:30 court reporter break, and then start the budget item, if that makes sense. CHAIRMAN HALL: That would be gteat. Item #15Bl PROJECT UPDATE TO NCW P T FACILITY PROJECT NO. 70149 CURREN'1' DER CO UCTION WITH POOLE & KENT COMP AN OF lti:<0RIDA DER AGREEMENT NO. 23-8[ 16. (ALL DISTRICTS) -PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED MS. PATTERSON: s a staff project update. This wa inued , 024, meeting. It's a recommendation o acoe t a pdate to NCWRF pretreatment f: 9, currently under construction wit oole & , a under Agreement NO. 23- Mr. Matt McLean, youF director of Public Utilities Engineering and Project anagement is here to present. MR. Mc 'b ~N: Excellent. Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, Matt McLean, your division direct0r for Engineering and Project Management. I am pleased to report that this mission-critical project at our north county water reclamation facility is on schedule and within the approved Board construction budget. Since we were last before you here in March with a project update, our team continues to focus on the long lead time equipment Page 43 Page 239 of 4908 August 27, 2024 submittal approvals, underground pipeline installation, and significant re bar and concrete construction of the building. We thank you for your approval earlier today to address some unforeseen conditions on the project that our team will continue to manage throughout the course of the construction project. The aerial on the top right shows the acti v.e construction area of the pretreatment building, and we have a S€ ies of updated construction photos that we're going to go o:ver to show the construction progress since our last B-0ai: upaa e. Since we were last before yo11, the project eHvery team was able to take advantage of some late spring dry conditions before the rainy season to get some of the sign· fi(Sant u erground infrastructure installed under the building fQotprint as well as a new pump station which you can see in the rigflt --tQ righ co er adjacent to the pretreatment building. Timing was oocl for us t0 get tliat done ear y before the rain started. That included ome large w stewate influent, effluent, power, and communications pipelines to get out from underneath the building footprint ana a jacent buiHiing infrastructure. A'.s we led ·nto ra·ny seaso , he remaining sections of the major pipeli work are set up to be later on in the project schedule, later in the year. q'he good ews Here on that --under continuation of the underground infrastructure, presently none of the remaining pipeline work is on the c~itical path of the schedule, so we continued to focus on the building itsel f. These next set of photos depict the complexity of the underground communication and power network that will serve the pretreatment facility. We like to compare this electrical building much like a brain and heart that feed and operate the rest of the facility. The project delivery team utilized a three-dimensional model in Page 44 Page 240 of 4908 August 27, 2024 planning and preparation for the installation of all of this underground communication and electrical conduit. These additional control steps within the overall project allowed for some early identification of potential conflict areas which are able to be resolved prior to the installation of the building foundation. CHAIRMAN HALL: Hey, Matt, what is the size of that conduit coming in? MR. McLEAN: Those conduits are all about 2-inch. Yeah, we've got hundreds and hundreds of them that are coming within this electrical building. CHAIRMAN HALL: That's a lot of stuff. MR. McLEAN: Yeah, it's r ·ve. COMMISSIONER Mcl;)ANI ska qu1c c1uestion? CHAIRMAN HAL COMMISSIONER se the --are these the information techn es th 4 , f the big screens that we look at and w fi at eve , in ,,s do with the individual pump stations, eLEA rvtISSI . Okay. R. McLEk . Al o , our SC '.A DA controls, instrumentation, and communication. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. MR. Mc 'lEAN: E lectrical, all of the above. COMMISSION£~ McDANIEL: And just for the world, because you neglected --we all pretty much know where this is. Where is this facility located? MR. McLEAN: This facility is at our north county water reclamation facility on Goodlette Road. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Just south Immokalee. MR. McLEAN: Just south ofimmokalee Road. Page 45 Page 241 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: On the east side. MR. McLEAN: Yes, sir. And so here's some additional views showing that power and communications conduit for the electrical building. It is critical to get this infrastructure in right the first time up front. Once it was installed, flowable fill was added, as you can see in the top right and the lower right-hand comer of this slide, R aced over that conduit to solidify and protect the installation of aU these important conduits that will future provide all of the abilit-¥ for us t pull the wires and have the communications all operate e orrectly. Steel and rebar concrete waU pours have dominated the last several months of work. There is a tremendo s focus on safety and quality. The project deli wery team is 0n site every day Cl'lnducting inspections and project ove sig deman i g and assuring such quality. We're holding weekly on-site pr0j ect deli v ew team meetings and coordinati n , positioning t , e project fer continued success. The concrete work that you see ere in these photos is on the critical ath 0 _ the s hedule. Rursuant to the schedule, it's projected that th e builaing tQpp ing off will Be--al the end of this calendar year. While that concrete worR: continues, all of the major long lead time equipmen -submittal ackages have already been approved. The equipment is Qrdered an o under manufacturing. These major equi ment deliveries for our processes are expected to begin at the end 0 f 2025, leading into midyear 2025, so that we have planned the pr@ject out that these major process equipment packages, when they hit the ground at the construction site, can be installed directly upon delivery on the site, streamlining the overall schedule. Quality assurance and quality control testing continues with each concrete pour, followed up with report result validation of the Page 46 Page 242 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 contract specification requirements. Over the course of the next several months, we will continue with steel re bar, formwork, and concrete installation of the building. We're typically pouring at least once a week out on the project site. Oftentimes those are early-morning pours that lead on into the daylight hours. And I would be remiss if I don't take tli is opportunity to thank the overall project delivery team for the ir CQmmitment to stay on schedule, demanding contract perf o a ce and focus on this mission-critical project. It is a true effort of our QrQject managers, the contractor, the engineers, ou 12 rocurement clerR:, attorney teams, county staff, leadership, and you, ultimate! , the Boaro, fQr your continued support on the roject. We welcome you for a our at any ti e, and I'm happy to answer any questions that you-all may hav e. COMMISSIONER McD ANIEL· Yeu cou <li have corrected me and said, "W el e[Y ody will know where it is." MR. M eLEAN· J"hat' o ay. should have led in with that one. 1'11 remember tR t tor our ne:x:t p r oject update. Thank you. <9 MMISS16l ER cDANIR : I do have one quick question. And, again , you know, ther are so many life-sustaining critical infrastructure programs going on within Collier County. I think Dr. George shared witn me yesterday we're running 44-, 45,000 trash pickups a day, an QUr hones don't ring with complaints, with concerns, and it ha to do with the stellar job you folks are doing. How are we with noise pollution, odor pollution, and overall complaints with --this facility's been here forever. And so how are we doing with the residents that are in close proximity to this facility? MR. McLEAN: I appreciate that question. And in fact, today, you, the Board, also approved the next significant infrastructure Page 47 Page 243 of 4908 August 27, 2024 project focused on odor control at this exact facility. We continue the demands, no offsite odors, no offsite light pollution, managing dust control, et cetera. We are certainly, like with lots of major utility plant projects, when we first start construction there, there usually isn't anything around us, and by the time we continue to opetate over decades, we get built in around us, and we have neighb0rs So we do from time to time get questions and clarifications 0n u operations, but we are happy to report that we are able to conf nue to manage those and stay within compliance and continue to cleliver best-value utilities to the community. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL : I w;as just looki g,. and our community was wise enough to put a pa Ki to the east ot the facility, then the next subdiY1sio down Ras a golf course with fairways to help line, and then --ut the ones that are on our southeast side o rig 0:ver the fence kina Qf, so --and that was the reason and the rationale for my question as to how we're managing those things. So thank ~ou -v;ecy mucfi. R. Mc b EAN: ertainly. AIRMAN L ~ I was wondering if anybody ever hit a home run o:ver there into th -- CO MMlS SI ONBR McDANIEL: Into the pond? CHAIRMA'N HAJL : Into the facility. MR. McLTh N : l, ere are from time to time where we do get a few things that co e in from the park. Oftentimes, a lot of it's sometimes trash but, I mean, you name it. Things fly around with the wind, too, and we help clean up that, too. CHAIRMAN HALL: I mean, I've seen Commissioner McDaniel play golf, and I could see where he could hit a golf ball across the road over there. Page 48 Page 244 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Quit, quit, quit. I have a nice draw. CHAIRMAN HALL: Thank you, Matt. MR. McLEAN: Thank you. MS. PATTERSON: All right. With that, let's take a court reporter break. It's 10:24. Let's come back at 10:35. (A brief recess was had from 10:24 a.,m. to 10:37 a.m.) MS. PATTERSON: Chair, you have a 1·ve mic. Apologies. CHAIRMAN HALL: No worri €s. Tha s . All right. Let's roll with th· get di n. Item #1 lA A PRESENTATION REG~IIDING TH B F¥ 2025 BUDGET AND PROVIDE FURTHER GUI AN6 E J\S W15 MOVE TOWARD THE SEPTEMBER PB BI.] BUD &ET H EARINGS . QCHRISTOPHER JOHNSON, DI CTOR -CORP QRA'T E RIN NCIAL AND MANAGEME '1' SERVl[<C ES) (ALL DISTRICTS) -PRESENTED AND DISEtT-SSED )(es , sir. That brings us to Item I IA, which is r ecommendation o hear a presentation regarding the FY 2025 budget and provid further guidance as we move towards the September budget hearings. Mr. Chris J(')n son, your director of Corporate Financial and Management Servic@s, is here to begin the presentation, and I believe we have Chris Fabian joining via phone. MR. JOHNSON: Via Zoom. MS. PATTERSON: Via Zoom. CHAIRMAN HALL: Via Zoom. Good. Before we start --hello, Chris, how are you? Page 49 Page 245 of 4908 August 27, 2024 MR. FABIAN: I'm doing great. CHAIRMAN HALL: Great, thanks. MR. FABIAN: Can you hear me okay? CHAIRMAN HALL: Yes. Thanks for joining us. MR. FABIAN: Thank you. CHAIRMAN HALL: You know, one year ago, almost a year ago, we made the decision to do the hard work, and to take a look --a good hard look and a deep dive into this budget and to curb our appetite for taxpayer dollars. So I just want t@ encourage all of us, let's keep that in mind as we mov --, s we listen a d we have a discussion today and as we --as take the measures needed to steward well what the taxpayers are of ering up. So with that, Mr. Johns0 . MR. JOHNSON: Tli an~ Y-OU, Mr. liairman. Good morning, Commissioners. For the recoFd, Gliristopher JQhnson, your department of C0rporate Financial an o Managemtent Services and, as Ms. Patterson stated, I'm j oined 0 th phone r Zoom with Mr. Fabian from Re ounieK. Today we're g0ing to ha ve a presentation for you on the FY '25 budge and look forwa d to youF g idance as we move into the September budget hearing, which is scheduled for next Thursday. Toda~'s discussion I'll briefly go over the budget timeline. Then I'll tum it over to Mr. Fa15ian for a ResourceX presentation and organizational structure review that was provided in conjunction with ResourceX, follo eel by a brief overview of the TRIM notice. Then I'll discuss what we'i:e going to be doing at our first public budget hearing next week, followed by kind of a refresher on the taxable value and millage rates that we currently have set, and then any discussion we want --any further discussion we want to have after that. So with that, I'll dive right in. Everyone's familiar with this. Page 50 Page 246 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 I'm sure you're probably getting sick of me going over this, but I'm going to do it a couple more times before the end of the year. I just wanted to kind of reiterate where we're at and how we got here. As you can see here, the peach-colored boxes are the boxes that we've already accomplished, the yellow one there on the bottom is what we're doing today, and the blue ones are what we're going to be doing moving forward. And if you-all can re ember that long ago in February, we started with our strategy plan, AUIR, and budget policy workshop. That is where we di ~eusseti our methodology this year of moving to the priority-base cl b dgeting app r oach and also had discussions on preliminary budget policy decisions. Followed by, in March there, t e Boar,d adopted t e Y '25 budget policy. That incluo ed a 3.5 pei cent departmental guidance for increases within the depa me ts and tttllizing net new taxable value or, essentially, the rolled-ba Gk rate for overall millage compliance. Moving on from t ere, in f ttne --on June Q0th, we had the BCC budget workshop where the Count¥ , anager presented her recomm~nded bud t whic was bu·1 around the rolled-back millage rates. We als 0 fi:ad a dis cussion th en on the progress with ResoblroeX and tRe r ioricy -based Budgeting procedure. From there, we re Geived the certified taxable value from the Property A"pJJ t aiser on July 1st, and on July 9th the Board adopted the maximum mil age rates. Again, the maximum millage rates were adopted at millag neutr al for the countywide taxable --taxing districts and the unin e orporated area taxing district. On I think it was August 19th, according to my TRIM notice, the Property Appraiser sent out the TRIM notices to all the property owners, and today we're going to have this budget discussion, followed by our next big meeting , which is the 5th of September, which will be our first public budget hearing. And then finally, on Page 51 Page 247 of 4908 August 27, 2024 9/19, or Thursday the 19th, we will have our final budget hearing where we adopt the final budget. Any questions on the schedule at all? (No response.) MR. JOHNSON: All right. With that, I'll hand it over to Mr. Fabian on Zoom, Troy, and he'll be disc s'8ing ResourceX and the organizational structure. MR. FABIAN: Okay. Troy, are ou atlle to see my screen as I share the Zoom? MR. MILLER: Hold on a m·nute. We're hav.·ng trouble bringing up our Zoom. Hold on ~ust a second. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL : Your ic's not on,. Troy. One minute, Chris. I'm having a little bit o r technical issues here. MR. FABIAN: OkaJ . No i:1roblem. While the screen fires up, thank you, Chris, thank 011 Ctl missioners, executive leadership and staff and mem6ers of the public f0r aHQwing me to join you remotely for a component of this rese tafi0n. Troy, just giY me the cue w en we're -- MR. MILLER : I mliaving all inds of difficulties here, Chris. Give e ·ust a secon . My Zo0m is aot working. M . JOHNSQN: 'F ox I have the presentation, if you want me just to pu 1 it up, and t en, Ghris, you can just tell me when to flip slides, if tnat works for Yi OU. MR. Mfb ER: Y eah, why don't we --why don't we do that at this point. I'm having some real issues here. Let me give you back control, Chris. MR. JOHNSON: Thank you. CHAIRMAN HALL: Under pressure. MR. JOHNSON: All right. MR. MILLER: All right. Chris, can you see the slides now? MR. FABIAN: I can. Page 52 Page 248 of 4908 August 27, 2024 MR. MILLER: Thank you, sir. MR. FABIAN: Okay, great. Always good to have a Plan B. MR. JOHNSON: All right. MR. FABIAN: Well, again, thank you, everyone. My name is Chris Fabian. I'm from ResourceX, which is a Tyler Technology's company, and I've had the privilege ofworkin with staff and the Board on your priority-based budgeting approach for this year. And for today, this is just the opportunity to keeP-riority-based budgeting front and center in the midst of your utlget discussions. Chris, you can go ahead and go to the next slioe. And I have a series of animations I'll start to go t rough here. So in June, I was on site to deliver o e of the rst major deliverables of priority-based budgeting, which is w li at we call a return on investment or ROI report. It is the first step after creating the basic priority-based budgeting data hieh CQnsist o t identifying all of the various programs ana services otJere da b your departments, allocating your li e-item budget towai;d tliose rograms, so we have full cost for prov· ding eacll and every program and service, and scoring those p,rogram-s relative to c@unty priorities as well as other key attribu es that make programs relevant. And with that base data, we C(')Uld, for the ¥er){ first ti e, begin to differentiate programs based on their alignment with l>ounty priorities and key relevance criteria. So high impac meaning high degree of alignment with the criteria that maR:€ a prog am valuable and relevant --most relevant in the county, as wel as sotting programs on the degree of spend or investment. Programs could further be differentiated based on how they scored on degree of mandate. We have highly mandated programs that we really must adhere to those regulations versus programs that have a lesser degree of mandate overall, as well as degree of --or opportunity for partnership. Is there a heavy reliance from our Page 53 Page 249 of 4908 August 27, 2024 residents for us to provide a specific program versus programs where there are potential partnerships? And that was very key to set up a conversation of where program opportunities could exist for resource reallocation as well as new revenue generation for compensating appropriately for providing services. The very first ROI report contained o ions, that is program insights, is what we call them, for every po s ·ble program and different ways to fund it, different busin€ss m0dels. And in sum total, Chris, as you click the "down" button to m~:ve the animation, we can see that the very first RO report contained u12wards of $100 million in resource reallocatio o~pomi .ities to consider those program insights as well a:s new revenue ge eration. And that's really importa t because s a living document, the ROI, or return on investment report, • s a play ook. It's a set of options that you ma be able t0 tum t0 in order to discover ways to free up and reallocate e current buoget an ~)t~nerate new revenue. But what staff did ne~t --and tliis is exactly how priority-based budgeting works te tbGo style from the City of Fort Worth, Texas, who's an exemplacy pr· oFity-based buageting organization, to the City 0 PittsburgR, enns~lvania, is that the staff has to react so these insights to sift through: with: w ich are most actionable as opposed to some of tli e insights tHat may already be in progress, and we discovered man of th®s~, as Chris Johnson presented in our last presentation togetfier, as well as some program insights that just don't apply. Those program insights come from case studies from other organizations who have taken a similar path to look for resource reallocation and new revenue opportunities. And, again, some of them are key and most actionable, and that's what we were looking for. Page 54 Page 250 of 4908 August 27, 2024 And so in July, heading into August was that very first review, and you heard Chris Johnson present back to you-all just about two weeks ago --Chris, next animation, please --on the first list of potential insights that seem most actionable in the county, and that whittled the list down, appropriately, from $100 million and then some of potential insights into the most actionable potential insights, which was closer to 40 million. And, again, tHat is a natural progression in priority-based budgeting is t start from a vast list and narrow it down to those that seem mote appro~riate. Chris, as you hit the button one , ore time -and from here, what takes place next as far as tH©. 01 report? Again, I continue to try to remind us that it is a living document. Even for QSe program insights where it seemed tli at there isn't really an opportunity or it's not applicable at this time fo i n county, esourceX then goes back to find other insights for thos patti lar programs. That's the next step we have in motlo . But in ad , ition, as ~ou see in tli.is particular picture, from the $40 million in prog amma~ic opportilnities, we set in motion an implementation phase, a rocess to blnderstand what it's going to take to ex€cute on these program insigfits and actually reap the savings or generate the new r v©.nue, nd that process can take --for some of those insights, as you can imagine, it's very practical. Some of the insights are simpler and less complex than others, so maybe it's the next three to six month's ©r before the end of the year. There is more information about h0w to move forward and execute on those insights, whereas some of the others might be a year or two in the making. That is --that's exactly where we are in the path to take insights from potential energy. Here are impressive recommendations that the staff can act upon towards actually executing on those insights and being able to reap the savings overall. So that's what happens next with the return on investment report. Page 55 Page 251 of 4908 August 27, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: Hey, Chris, can I interrupt for a second? MR. FABIAN: Oh, yes. CHAIRMAN HALL: I don't want to lose focus from what you're saying from me sitting here straining trying to read these --the screen. Is there a way that we can enlarge the screen so that we can actually read it? I catch myself drifting from what you're saying trying to read, and I can't, so --if there's a wa we can, great. If not, we'll just listen. MR. JOHNSON: Commissioner, hav these slides separate, and I can provide them to you guys later on. CHAIRMAN HALL: Oka~. MR. JOHNSON: If that works. ' fro t presentation, so ... CHAIRMAN HALL: ~U right. COMMISSIONER Mcfil i\NI£~: recommend a good ophthalmologist to fix r gla MR. FABIAN: y . Commiss a the -- CHAIR:M A -.....---= wornes. R. f ltBikN: --small narur€ 0f these, but these are snapshots from ~revious presentations. So ill sions [sic] to information just to jog our mi ds on w R t had been presented over the course of June, July, and August. CHAIRMA'N HA : That helps knowing that I should have already seen these. MR. FABIAN. Okay. So before we move on to the next slide, I think we had a breakthrough in the last meeting when I was on site to really understand that where ResourceX starts really diving into where savings could exist and where the staff dives into this is programmatic analysis in terms of relevancy. Are these programs the right businesses for us to be in? And if we choose to remain in Page 56 Page 252 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 these businesses, what are different business models? How can we fund these programs differently? And, again, I want to state from the best-practice communities like Fort Worth, Texas, this is --this is where to start, but it's not the only deliverable. It's not the only area of focus. And so, Chris, if you wouldn't mind advancing the slide. We introduced at the last meeting wh€n was in town about two weeks ago the fact that as we start to dive int the ROI report and look at that first $40 million worth o opportu ities , we then start to also entertain program efficiency eo ¥ersations. So it's relevance first. We're studying the key question. If you picture Maslow's hierarchy. We nee o to gra_Rple witfi' fi e rograms that we want to provide an the business models and the revenue models, and then we begin t dvance to\Vards, okay, if we're happy with the program offering and we'r-e conside~ing how we might provide this particular program cl iff erent y from a funding perspective, it'1 ok:ay to o egin to transif1on o ards now streamlining or making that p ogram more effi cient. And ouF a proach, as e'v e beg n, if you remember, there was a priority-hasetl budgeting blueprint that clescribed how we tackle relevan<S e, and tha looks at sourcing programs and programs efficien<>~ and service-level tradeoffs and revenue ideas to appropriatel compensate for work provided by way off ees for service and entreprene rial revenue opportunities. In the effic ien(Sr analysis, we tackle positions, so we're looking at staffing for programs overall, looking for everything from cross-training and workforce flexibility, opportunities looking at common goals across the departments, looking for workforce pooling and flexible staffing. That's the analysis of positions, which we have that data, and every position is now allocated to programs. We look at process analysis. Where do we have key programs Page 57 Page 253 of 4908 August 27, 2024 where we have representative processes where it's potentially advantageous to centralize programs that are offering similar functions? And then we look at program performance by way of benchmarking. In other words, how does Collier County's investment into specific programs match up to other communities of your size? If we can normalize and look at benchmarks, we can begin to compare programs that you decid€ we''re going to remain in the business and look for efficiencies there. So the simple way to remem • • it eration by way of P's. Efficiency comes to us thro ition analysis, process analysis, and program performan • nd benchmarking. Chris, next slide, please. And I simply wante . • d are now un erway. We introduced this about n addition to now working our way through t report to look at that first 40 milli 0ppo eially started to shift our own gears ex lor opportunities as well. Sta:t=f, as made mention oEby Ohris Johnson approximately two weeks ago, nas alfeady: lirougfit forward in that presentation some of those i itial wins, P,erJlaps he first ins in the efficiency analysis by way of pos • tions, the workforc€. prioritization pool, centralized financial operations, as well as real property and right-of-way functions, seeing commo positions and the opportunity for merger. We see pro() ss analysis, everything that we're starting to look at by way of who's involved in processes like cybersecurity management from public safety to finance to HR, beaches, enforcement, and maintenance, and we're underway to start to compile the data for program performance management, that first effort towards benchmarking. And, again, as we start to see benchmarking by way of costs, we're also looking at benchmarking Page 58 Page 254 of 4908 August 27, 2024 by way off ees, compensation that is for services rendered and the revenue equation overall. During our last discussion approximately two weeks ago, Commissioner McDaniel, you appropriately made mention that at this point in the efficiency analysis when we're really diving into positions, opportunities for streamlining, processes and program benchmarking, that this is the most approgdate time to start to invite meetings with staff to get some more 0£ th ir insights, and that will certainly be part of the efficiency ap Foacn in Rriority-based budgeting. And, furthermore, for Commissioner LoCastro, <S ommissioner Kowal, you invited more specific in~1tation o begin to ook deeper into this data to see a dee~ aive. Commissioner L0Castr0, as you observed from the ROI rep it, we're loo lc ing at every single program and different ways to consider funding it first rather than focusing on program and service-level reductions first, and Hat is the --very much the next step on the ROI rep0ft side. So, Chris, o e more slide, please. So t0 bFing it on home, again, it' • mportant that in the midst of these l5udget hearings ana budget chscussions that we all have that priority-based buageting data at the orefront of our minds and how we can begin to use it. Commissioner Hal , two weeks ago you mentioned you're starting to see e breaktnrough, the "method to the madness" moving from the data that we co lect to first studying program relevancy. We don't study effieiency first, because if we study efficiency first, we're assuming the program will be delivered the same way. So we back up and study, should we be in this business? How did it score relative to impact? Are there other business models that other communities like Fort Worth and Pittsburgh, among hundreds of others, are challenging themselves to re-think revenue recovery, Page 59 Page 255 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 partnerships? And then once we're settled there, which we're right in the midst of that, and that's enormous kudos to staff for drilling down into that first 40 million of opportunities to discover. Then we move into that efficiency analysis for service delivery. And so, as I tum it back over to Chris and also entertain questions at this point, the purpose of my reP,0 and joining you today was just to keep priority-based budge ing at the forefront of your minds, the data that you have that , ou c n question, that you can explore further for those opportunities. But I also always want to take the opportunity to just solidi ?/ th is is the proc ss that we go through: Data, ROI report, prog am relevancy, follo w.ed by streamlining efficiency, positions, pt o<S esses, rogram be chmarking, which we're heading into ne xt. And that concludes m~ }i Q iQn of tn e r esentation. MR. JOHNSON: Tha you, C3 hris. And I'm going to pull up tlie oth€r sliae sn Qw here. Did you guys have any guestions for Mr. a15 ian w ile I'm doing this? CHAIRM ALL: No. W ell presented. Thanks , Mr.F • Hank you OHN . 'F ank you, Chris. All right. And tfi is sli e here just kind of sums up some of the initiatives tha Chris has discussed, our resource alignment through the organizati0 nal real ignment workforce prioritization pool. Fee right-sizing and fees for service, the Board has implemented credit card fees be paicl by the users. We've also recently --the water/sewer impact fees were approved, positioning the Collier County Water/Sewer District for the future expansion that we have going out to the east. Privatization and partnerships, the INT, I believe, has been received for the aquatics facility, so we're going through that process. Page 60 Page 256 of 4908 August 27, 2024 And, again, you'll be hearing level-of-service considerations moving forward. I wanted to briefly just kind of show you-all a number related with one of these. So here we have our --the page out of the budget book for the workforce prioritization pool. As you can see, this pool currently --and, again, we're going to assess ,his one more time at the end of the month --has 31 allocated positi0 s ·or a total balance of $3,017,300. And what we've done hen~ is w 've created cost centers for these positions to go into from the General und and the Unincorporated Area General Fund, and as we m ve forward, we'll utilize these positions for prioriti€ as they pop up in ctitical needs. CHAIRMAN HALL: Mr. Jo ·, son, -e' -e had the privilege of asking the questions and gettiqg the exP-lanations, but can rou just real briefly summarize what the workforce prioritization pool means to the public? MR. JOHNSON: Certain Y., certainl~. So just to kincl of steP. bac one tep to k:i d of the history of this, during the buoget puo<eess, the «:ounty Manager's Office identified positions tB:at ad Been vacant for an extended period of time lacea on liold t :at were n0 longer utilized by the departments, and we transferrecl them i 0 this cost center. So, essentially, they're vacant positions in a cost cente that we'll utilize moving forward to enable us 0 r€spond qui€kly to the changing priorities, address critical projects, and swifftly tackle unforeseen challenges. In other words, it will be lik -a strike team pool. We can go into these, we can dive into this p0ol, pull positions out, reclassify them to the job titles that we need to address our priorities, provide them to the department to hire quickly and utilize those positions for those specific needs. CHAIRMAN HALL: Thank you. MR. JOHNSON: And with that said, Commissioner, moving Page 61 Page 257 of 4908 August 27, 2024 forward, what we'll do, probably quarterly, monthly, we'll review the vacancies and determine if there are any others positions that can go back into that pool. So it will kind of be like a resolving pool of resources, if you will, human resources. Is that a good explanation for you? Does that work? CHAIRMAN HALL: Oh, yeah. Yes. MR. JOHNSON: All right. Any other questions on the workforce prioritization pool before I move on? (No response.) MR. JOHNSON: Okay. S0 as a stated, evef)<body received their --property owners received th€ir TRIM notice t at was mailed out on August 19th, 2024. I just wa ted to ff'0 a quid<'. overview of this just for everyone's be efit. I know. ou look at this -some people look at this --I remembe the firsf time I did, and there's a lot of numbers on there. So just real briefly, I'll kind of g0 througn some of the important numbers whe you're reaoing you ~&IM notice. I'll start at the top over here --an i elieve I can use tne mouse. Your market value here by the No. 1 o your IM notice is the just value of the propert~ as of January 1st of tB'e cuFrent year. ow, to get t0 your assessed value, which is right over here, under No. Q the market value is reduced by any of these assessment reductions her-e. Common --t e common assessment reductions are the Save Our Homes benefit, which you can see on this TRIM notice is $608,000, and tfie iO percent non-homestead cap. That's related to the constitutional cap on property tax increases, which, for homesteaded properties, is 3 percent per year, and for non-homesteaded properties, it's 10 percent a year. So as we've had great growth in the recent years in property value, as you can see here, this taxpayer has a $608,000 credit to their market value to get to their assessed value on their property. And Page 62 Page 258 of 4908 August 27, 2024 from there, the taxable value over here, No. 3, this assessed value is further reduced by any exemptions, including your homesteaded exemption, disabled veterans, et cetera. And then on the bottom here in Column 1, you're going to have your last year's tax rates and tax, Column 2 is the rolled-back tax rates and tax, and Column 3 is your proposec:L-0r, in this case, our maximum millage tax rate and tax. So I j,ust wanted to go over that briefly. And your tax is calculated based on a millage rate, which is the rate per thousand dollars. The for-mula is our taxable value, which is No. 3, multiplied by youF miHage rate, wfiich would be No. 4 in these columns, and divilied by a thousand will get you your tax. Any questions on th ard? (No response.) CHAIRMAN HALL: ext thing I wanted to discuss briefl w st n . Again, it's going to be Septem t uilding here in this room. What are we g 1ng to fie doing a that hearing? The first thing we're go·ng to be doing ·s Mr. Borri I and Mr. Coleman will be here to present the Peli€an Ba)" budget wfiere the Board will adopt a resolution approving tne special assessment roll that levies the special assessment gainst those properties in Pelican Bay. Then we'll dive into the overall county budget. We'll discuss the tentative millage ates. We'll review and discuss the changes to the tentative budget. Any changes we make from July until that meeting will be discussed. And then the thing that everybody loves, I'm --it's probably going to be me. I'll be announcing the millage rates one by one as we go down the list, followed by the adoption of the tentative millage rates via resolution, and then finally the adopted amended tentative budget via resolution. Page 63 Page 259 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 Once we complete those tasks, we're required to advertise for our second public hearing, which will be on September 19th, 2024. The notice will include the tentative millage rates and the tentative budget, and it --I guess it would be good to note that those tentative millage rates, again, create a new maximum millage rate moving forward. So --and this ad will be published in the Naples Daily News. Any questions on what we're going to omplishing next Thursday? (No response.) MR. JOHNSON: You gu at 1 . We went through it last year, so ... All right. I just wa in k to tax alue and millage rates. I know we 1s eussed this in j:ul , but I wanted to refresh everyone on where w ill be our most critical decisions movin forward i r earings. So here's ue. If you'll recall, the prior-year 38 billion. It increased $14.3 billion n. Of that increase, 4.6 b ill ion is r alue, meaning it is included in the d-bac l< r a , a --he tax associated with that incre xable value . In incorpo d area, there was a $9 .2 billion taxable-value in Breas 2 of that net new taxable value was attributed to --I'm s0 -was attributed to net new taxable value, 3 .2 billion. This slide kind of shows the 21-year history of the county's taxable value increases by percentage. You can kind of see the up and the down in the recession, and then we're kind of in an up again and slowing heading down. The blue lines there represent the State's estimates for the upcoming years of 10 .2 for 2026 and 7 .1 percent Page 64 Page 260 of 4908 August 27, 2024 increase for 2027. Now, when you looked at that TRIM notice, you saw that amount under the Save Our Homes value there. Regardless of --if taxable value stays flat, we still get 3 percent out of that --out of that bank moving forward, so that's why you see these numbers kind of flat over the next couple years. All right. And I'll move into the mil1ag rates. These are the countywide millage rates and the unincorporated area millage rates. The blue column there is the millage-eutral rate, which is what we currently have set as our maximum mrllage rate. 'f.he green column is the rolled-back millage rate. For the General Fund, the rolled-back millage rate 1s 3.0107, and the millage-neutral is 3.20~3, a difference of .1936. Water Pollution, 0.02zl £ r Folled-oack rate; 0.0263 for the millage-neutral rate. Conservation Collier, 0.2Q96 fo the rollea-fiack; 0.2242 for millage-neutral. And uninco 0rated is 0.684~ for the rolled-back, and 0.7280. And that's all fun and ga es, 13 t I'm sure you want to know what tlie dollaFs aFe assoBiated d that So this is kind of the impo ant slide heie. Sa e concept there. You see in the green you have th olled-back: -I'm SOflW. You have the difference between the rolled-ack in the nnor year, so that's the increase in funding levied, and tnen in the blue you have the increase versus the prior year for the millage-ne ral rates, and then in the yellow there is the variance between th two. So, essentially, we'll be working between the rolled-back rate, the millage-neutral rate, and the variance there is in the yellow. So for the General Fund, that would be around 29.5 million; for water pollution it's about 250,000; Conservation Collier, 2.2 million; and the Unincorporated Area General Fund is $4.2 million. Overall, Page 65 Page 261 of 4908 you're looking at about $36 million. Any questions on that at all? CHAIRMAN HALL: Yes. MR. JOHNSON: All right. August 27 , 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: So I get the millage-neutral rate. I see that. That's based on current values. You said the variance between the rolled-back from the prior year, so that as the amount of taxes that we collected. MR. JOHNSON: So if you look ai the green column there , Commissioner, that 14 million wo 1 l5 e an incr se over last year's tax dollars collected related to the net new taxable v alue. So on the other slide, I showed you there was tn at 4. 6 related to growth. That number there , that 14 milli on is what ou W:()uld collect Based on that. CHAIRMAN HALL: c)h at the same rate from last year? MR. JOHNSON: No. That would be a --that would be the rolled-back rat CHAIRM MR. JO : es, co CHAIR:M A ~L· W , have a $15 million increase? OHNS n dollar s CQ ected, tax dollars collected. IRMA ~ Okay. That helps me. MR. :J OHNS o problem. Any o ues ions? COM ,ONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman -- CHAIRMA'N H~L!L: Go ahead. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --just if I might -- CHAIRMAN HALL: Yeah. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just one quick one. The Sheriffs budget, just to put this in some perspective, the proposed increase in the Sheriffs budget is how much? MR. JOHNSON: I've got that right here, if you give me just Page 66 Page 262 of 4908 August 27, 2024 one second. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I think it's 11 million. MR. JOHNSON: 6.5 percent; right around $16 million. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So the Sheriffs budget increase will be 16 million. That's the request. MR. JOHNSON: Correct. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: A a i -we go to the rolled-back millage rate, the new revenu , over and above last I years -- you. MR. JOHNSON: Fourteen illion. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It will be 1 MR. JOHNSON: Yt o All right. Any other (No response.) MR. JOHN o have the maximum millag or the MS if Us list ere. Those were based on the opera m nteetls and an capital allocations for the upcoming fisc 0 f note h io Road Beautification MSTU at .1 mi that's the maximum millage rate, and then the new priv eFgency repair MSTU, the maximum millage rat€ set a e maximum allowable per ordinance of 1 mill. COMMISSION£ cDANIEL: Can I --just on that, since we're on that. CHAIRMAN HALL: Sure. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have a note that I'd like to move that to zero for this upcoming year. We had that agenda item pop up, and I'm still in the process of reviewing the RFP and all of the specifications that went into that, the inordinate amount of Page 67 Page 263 of 4908 August 27, 2024 expense associated with that. I'd like to hold that at zero until we work those things out. And we'll take formal votes on that. I just wanted to let you folks know that that's -- CHAIRMAN HALL: Sure. And ifwe can get a nod for that, I can provide that with the data in our meeting next week. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Oka~. CHAIRMAN HALL: That would be great. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: r 11 b nodding in the affirmative. We all are. MR. JOHNSON: All right. Arr cl any othet questions on the MSTUs before I get into the voting requirements? (No response.) MR. JOHNSON: ~f right. So millage-rate voting requirements, the majority o R 011r taxing a istr icts are simple majority to move at the millage rates we cu ently ha¥e, including the --all the countywide and tl'i e urrincorpo ated ai:ea. You'll se~ there's a few that require supe aJonty votes: Victoria Park, f (')rest LaR:e$, Bayshore Beautification, Vanderbilt Waterways, and Pelican Ba;x . Thos are all millage-neutral MSTU s that had a little laFger ta~ increases, a d then the unanimous vote, Haldeman Creek '@redging, and the private road being a new one, requires a unanimous vote as well. So any. questions on any of the votes? (No resp0nse.) MR. JO SGN: ½.11 right. And with that, I'm here to answer any questions or help in any discussions you guys may have. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thank you, Mr. Chair. If you would, please, reiterate the guidance that we put forth with regard to year-over-year increases for budget expenses. MR. JOHNSON: Certainly. It was --it was 3 and a half Page 68 Page 264 of 4908 August 27, 2024 percent on the department level. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: On a department level? MR. JOHNSON: Correct. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. I'd like that to be exemplified as we're moving through these last steps in this budget just how many departments actually met that equisite that was put out and both --including the constitutiona1 as well. MR. JOHNSON: All right. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL : ne oft e things I think it's important --forgive me for jumping around, but I'll endeavor to stay on track. But one of the things ha I'd like for us 0 o o as we're moving forward with the initiatives t at ar 6 • ng propo ed by ResourceX, by staff-generated savings, if ~ou will --it's very difficult for our general public, in m :perception, to perceive a tax savings. We can all say that we did a lloac.R last year, and it was a $62 million savin s, out as yo have sho n , tliat it actually works out to be 40, $50 a household depending on whether they're a homesteaded proRe y or not. What I want to see goin forwar , when we do delineate a savings, wli ere:ve F it's elineated, I would like for discussion for this boar cl to have to Be in tH~ rocess o fencing off those savings of those re enues that are generated in the savings, fencing them off and designating them for s ecific needed projects, and that's just a philosophy tRat I think w.ould help our community grasp the generated savings an/ see the validity in how we're reallocating funding and actually. effectuating a savings and what they're, in fact, going to be used for. Also, with ResourceX, they tend to treat our county as one. We know we have multiple funds. We have two different enterprise funds. So savings that are generated over in wastewater/water can't be blended in with general funds, and general funds can Page 69 Page 265 of 4908 August 27, 2024 sometimes --it takes Board approval with the unincorporated fund. And so segregation of the individual funds and then the adjustments to processes, procedures, and whatever the third P is that Chris talked about. When those reallocations are actually effectuated, they need to be delineated and shown in those individual f11nds so that our community knows and understands that, y}t , in theory, money's fungible, but it's not fungible necessari b, without a major board action from one fund to another. Third, I haven't heard anything al>out this yet --and this is something that we talked about at tli e last budget eye e, and I said it out loud. I'll say it again. The best eople w·thin Colier County's system to make adjustments in how we' e d01ng what we'i:e doing are our staff. And I know that we av e begu the process of a merit pay program. I really want to see that nsen to the top as soon as --as we can efficiently and effectively do that. Our staff, the people that work £ r Co lie · County, need to be rewarded when we save taxpayer m0ney --when they save taxpayer money. ::f hen a ment pay pr 'Gess needs to be implemented. thinlZ that p~etty wcdl covers y nitial comments. I have a couple more before we've 0ne, but I think that will cover for what --hat I have to say n0w CHA AN HA,L : Commissioner Locastro. COMM SS ONER LoCASTRO: Thank you, Chairman. I really like how things are headed in a direction. You know, I really feel like we're l>uilding acceleration, and we're not just willy-nilly picking things and slicing and dicing and all that. Having said that, the one thing --and this is an overall budget meeting. We're still at maybe the 50,000-foot level, but we're quickly, you know, coming down into the details. You know, I want to make sure that reimbursing Conservation Page 70 Page 266 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 Collier doesn't fall through the crack. And so, you know, there's many ways --we've talked about promises and how to do it and making sure that, you know, everything gets funded properly. First of all, they have to have properties for us to come buy. So I'm not a supporter of just dumping 60 million into an account and then letting it sit there, and we took five steps orward and then we just took six steps back. But just to make sur€ it continues to be in the discussion --because we get to the fine i: pQints of now taking action , that is one thing hanging out her e that I want to make sure we take action on, because I've been very impressed ith what the team and the new process and our focus li as done on Con ,e1';v ation Collier. I've said it before, in my distri ot we've ought mo t e iq roperty in the past 10 months than pr obably the past 1 Q years. But we still have that loose end out the i:e r> reimbursem~nt, the proper funding. So that all works into this discuss ion here. It should so n't sort of get glossed over, ut , when we get to those slides w b • re , let's make sure we just don't for -et it. ged with the --with the dire the done. HNS : reci at. We'll be sure to provide optio COMML IO o TRO: Yes, sir. Thank you. COM ER McDANIEL: If I can add one proviso on that, because as one of my notes, but that is we need to specify the amount that was utilized out of Conservation Collier. The original proposition was that the entire refund, if you will, to the rolled-back rate. But there were some legal issues that only --I think we ended up with 28-, 29 million, not the full 62 million coming out of Conservation Collier. We just --we just need to delineate --there you go. Page 71 Page 267 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 MR. JOHNSON: 29.6-was -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. There you go; 28-, 29-. CHAIRMAN HALL: I'm going to go ahead and chime in on that. We never, ever talked about paying Conservation Collier back in last year's discussions. We took that mone)< because that money was basically sitting dormant and not usable. '.t\nd we --and then, in addition to that, we made provisions witn in that Collier County ordinance that we can't use that mone~ anymo e unless we declare an emergency so that money's protect d We have fil <led more stuff with Conservation Collier. That nd is as healthy s it's ever been. And so for us to take money to charge t e taxpayer o put money back into basicallx a dormant a count, because tlie Fe's already money to fund it, I don't tH· nk tfi at makes good fiscal sense, and I'm going to be loud about it, an cl 'm going to oe red-faced about it, not because I'm all red 1n the face, ut be caus I'm i ecl in the face. Commiss • oner Lo G:astro. COMMISSIONER L@CASTR<O : I'll just --I'll package my words a little bit better-, I guess. Fi i st of all, it's premature to decide what we'r e putting back 'i n the 6 onservation Collier, if anything. j st want to make sure that di scussion doesn't get lost. We might a cl ecide here that it's h ealthy right where it is, but it's certainly something tnat absorl5 s money. I am a big proponent of --and a positive supporter of what we did to it, even tli0 ugh some people don't understand it. And so it's just a matter of I want to make sure we have that discussion. In the end, it might be that all five of us think it's healthy where it is. So I'm not proposing, like, when are we dumping in the money, but that it definitely needs to be part of the discussion, and then we'll see what --at that point what we're all comfortable with. I don't know what my exact position is on Conservation Collier because I Page 72 Page 268 of 4908 August 27, 2024 haven't heard the details of where money is, where it should be, how healthy the account is. So, you know, if I need to be red in the face if something comes forward, oh, trust me, there'll be two people up here red in the face. The only reason for my comment was that --to talk about the topic of it, to make sure that it doesn't get los t. Thank you. MR. JOHNSON: We'll be sure to bring that to -- CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissio, er. 1\i'lcDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL : ¥es. Jtnd there'll be three of us red-faced. Getting a red face is tric1<:y for yo complexion. He and I -- CHAIRMAN HALL: Mine's atural. COMMISSIONER Mcl;)ANIEL: Me and I will go liRe that (indicating) whenever it comes forward. I want to say this: I was reall~ ha py with what transpired last year when we w€re aole to, for, the first time, effeetuate a savings for our communitx . r also ade commitments to our folks in the environmental c~ muni y, during tli e break while we were talking, that efforts would be m de to replace those funds that were utilized to suppGft the oudget as wlfat was proposed by our staff when that came forward. How that gets accomplished, as Commissioner Locastro has adeptly said, is really immaterial. I just want it to be a discussion point and for s to --tlier.e are a multitude of ways --and we don't need to beat the oFse right now --literally. We don't need to beat that right now with: n~gard to how to get there from here. I feel obligated to replace those funds. I told our folks in the environmental community that that was going to transpire in some form or fashion. How we get three, we can all flip a coin and figure out. We don't need to beat it right now, but I would like to --I'm pleased to see that it's a topic of discussion. Page 73 Page 269 of 4908 August 27, 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: All right. MR. JOHNSON: Any other questions or discussion? (No response.) MR. JOHNSON: All right. Troy, do we have any public speakers on this? MR. MILLER: No. MR. JOHNSON: That's it. Thank you gentlemen. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: s. Outstanding. Item #15C MS. PATTERSON: 1ss1one _, at brings us to --back to Item l 5C. This is staff • sion general communications. COMMISSI • -not have any speakers on the COMMISSIONER K . COMMI , • Okay. Can I --I thought there f second, I apologize to the Boar A 0, go ahead. COMMISSION D ERS: I thought there was going to be a speaker o , o en 1ally. COMMI · cDANIEL: We got away without you saying anything. N0 we've got to go back? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just real quick. I'm going to reiterate something I said earlier. In terms of the spay/neutering budget item, we have about $770,000 in the budget for the spay and neutering programs, but they're very restrictive in how we can use those funds. And what I'm going to ask the Board to do is to give Page 74 Page 270 of 4908 August 27, 2024 staff maximum flexibility in spending those funds to reduce the number of cats and dogs that are ultimately winding up in our shelter. I handed out to you a document that was prepared by --is it Ewa or -- MS. FRONT: Ewa. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. By Ewa. I want to make sure I pronounce your name properly --that really kind of addresses that issue and how we can be more filexible in the use of those dollars that will ultimately save us money in the long run. And so I just want to again reiterat hat there will be some discussion of that and would like for taff to prepa e some language in the budget that gives you that tlexibility and wou1 like for staff also to provide an amendment to Resolutio 2017-04, i lJ,dieve, that provides that flexibility £ r staff to spetta th0se dollars in more creative ways. CHAIRMAN HALL: COMMISSIONER Mc I t0tal y agree with the more spay and neuter that w can accomplis n , tfi: longer-term positive effects we're going to have. My: question, though, is --and, again, I'm in support of the rationale. My questio is, we've just hired a new director for DAS. We -Has this proposition been vetted before the advisory board for DAS yet? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I believe the answer is yes, and the new administrat r was a member of the advisory board until she became the a ministrator of the department and is, to my knowledge, fully aware of making sure that we provide flexibility. There are a couple folks that might be able to expand on that. I know, Laurie Harris, you're a member of DAS advisory board. Am I incorrect or am I correct that the board does know about these proposals? MS. HARRIS: Correct. Page 75 Page 271 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Let the record reflect that they're acknowledging that the board is aware of this and is supportive of this. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I understand . I just would like it to be verified that it has been brought to the DAS advisory board and the new executive director has ratit'ied the discussion. There are a lot of organizations that are out there that do perform these services, and I want to make sure tn a • is publicly vetted and appropriated accordingly. So I'm total ~ in fa o of increasing those efforts, the long term. That's the ans er to a lot o our circumstances. CHAIRMAN HALL: Absolute Y,-e limit ourselves to our efforts w n en w e can pt ovide vouchers and get it all done? MR. JOHNSON: All right. hank you, gentlemen. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL· Thank ~ou. I just want the record to reflect tli at Jo nson he r<l e talk o©ut adjusting the Board schedule today , an he didn't leave and go work. He sat right back there and didn't do anytn ing until we got to him anyways. So have a look that. R. JOHNSON: P a ~tice ma es perfect. MS P.A TTERSON: CS ommissioners , that does bring us back to Item 15C, sta ff and commission general communications. Since we just were tall<i g about --I have two things. Since we were just talking about DA , I will give you a quick update. We are continuing to work on the property, physically, on the buildings, both Building 5, which you're all aware of, which is undergoing some significant repairs and renovations, as well as the property in total, from the grounds, to the insides of the buildings, how we have things organized. I have to continue to remind you that it is a 25ish-year-old Page 76 Page 272 of 4908 August 27, 2024 building, and the thought process under which it was constructed is not what we would build today. Part of this discussion about the panleukopenia would be handled differently if we had proper isolation space. So we are doing the best that we can as far as that goes as well as identifying other areas of the building that potentially could be used for isolation space for those animals, because the last thing you want to do is bring healthy anima:is • n and tum them into sick animals at the shelter. I was just speaking with our --our • nterested animal people here, Laurie and Ewa, about getting the cat groups tog<dh r and let's talk about where we all can work togetller while we're getting through this panleukopenia. I'm sure that theres ideas tnat others have. They've been doing this a long time. And we'li get a little working group together to explore options of how. we do diis and how we do it differently in the future, bee use this won't be the last time that we have panleukopenia. It's just :x ou're Fi earing about it now as part of that added transparenc that we're t ing to provide both to this board but also to the puolic. MTe'll get that group together and bring some options forwa d. We are astively working this spa 1neuter idea as well as being able to partner with folks like Jim Rich and with SNIP Collier with their mobile unit to be able to do some additional spaying and neutering ano potentiall)1 help with some of our community cat programs. S0 all those things are ongoing. The new direct0r will be starting on Tuesday. We'll get on your calendars to bring he , out to meet you, either to your offices or if you're interested in a visit to DAS, and so we'll get that going as well. So that's all I have on DAS. We do have a horse there if anybody is, you know, interested in making a visit to a horse. I've been there twice a day now every day for the last two weeks with the horse, so that's kind of exciting. Page 77 Page 273 of 4908 August 27, 2024 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: How's the horse doing? MS. PATTERSON: Much better. He actually spoke to me --I know that sounds weird, but he was the quietest horse that I really have ever encountered. He's by himself, which is not something that horses generally like, but the other day I brought his bucket of hay in, and he greeted me with, like, a small little nicker, and he did it again today. So he's starting to get a little bit more lively, which is good. He's doing well. Thank you for asking. CHAIRMAN HALL: I was going to ask i~he spoke English. MS. PATTERSON: He speaks Horse. Okay. Moving on, we do lia ea request from the Naples Airport Authority board to hold a workshop w • th the Board of County Commissioners regaFding the ai oct relocation smcly. So I agreed that I would bring th t to you-all fer :xou to say yes or no. We typically hold the first Tuesday. o:t:each m nth workshops. We haven't had one for a while, but we do have ava·Iability on the calendar going f nrwarcl, or not, crepen 1ng 0n the will of this board. COMMISSIONER KOWAL : Can I just say something to that? CHAIR:MAN MA~L· Su e. e o lvfISS QNE OWJ\:C: Because I attended their last meeti g and it was --you lmow, I guess we had all received --at some point finally g , t a cop~ of this report. It was hidden in a newsletter. 'fJiat's how 1 founa it. It was the strangest way for it to get delivered to us. But once we got some clarity, and I did find it, then I had the opportunity --but I dicl go to the board and kind of listen to what their discussion was and --the people that actually did the study, and I just felt --you know, because the airport is in my district, I have an interest in it, and those are my constituents that live in the City of Naples. And, you know, they're using a lot of their tax dollars to do these studies. Page 78 Page 274 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 And, you know --and to me, I feel like when they talked about wanting to bring forth and have a conversation with us --and I brought it towards the County Manager and the City Manager to maybe get together and have this sit-down and --because in the stages of this report, if you guys remember, there's, like, one or two front-end stages of this thing, but this thing g0es on for 20 years. I mean, this airport would take 20 years to be b i lt and open. I don't want to see any more wastea tax ciollars if this really doesn't have any traction. And I think tli is first Qr second phase of this thing is coming before us. So I think we --you know, it W-ould behoove us 0 have them --hear their side of their --yott know, whatever thei comments are and bring it to us, and ]ren --you ow, ·n the Sunsnine as a form of a meeting. So I feel it's p 0 abJy impe ant because if it doesn't require to go any further tha that --I mean, l can't say it will or it won't, but that w.ou a clefinitel ~ save the ta'.X ayers a lot of money moving f orwa a, 0 ... CHAIRM~ ALL: Com , issioner McDaniel. COMMISSIO BR McD r\NIEL: On that note, I have two suggestions. Number one, don't fi av e the workshop at all. I don't thinR: it"s requisite. I 's a i ordinate expense for us to be giving consideration to a repo tt tha was done without any communication. I mean, the 1v.e propose hl locations that they suggested, four of them are in Distric 5, and tHe )f didn't --they never even called me. And so I don't have any interest in pursuing relocating that airport. That airpo i:t is a separate authority. They have the right to do whatever they want to do when they want to do it. And if they require us to give permission for that at some stage, we can give permission to it. I don't --if you do decide to have a workshop, have it in the second or third week of November. Just in case you decide to have a workshop, that's my suggestion. Page 79 Page 275 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 CHAIRMAN HALL: That's a great time. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's a great time. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: That must be right about antler season. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm not saying anything. There is an environmental wildlife survey goiRg to be conducted during that time. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: And t e 0nly reason I think some light should be shed on it from ouv opinion on this is because I think in Stage 2, it falls back on us to do --you lrn ow, rezoning these possible properties in the future. ~nd if that's not e en an option or nobody has the desire to do this, this stops tli ere. COMMISSIONER Mc l;)ANIEL: ~et's just stop it now. CHAIRMAN HALL: ~toJJ it now. COMMISSIONER Lo CJ S'r 0 : Yea . COMMISSIONER McDANIEL· I'm oka~ topping now. CHAIRMJ\N H~'b : I'm in die Suns-hi e, and I can say no now like I could sa){ no in a workshop. So no now is better. COMMISSIO BR KOWA L: Okay. e .klRMAN HA L1.: omm issioner Locastro. <9 MMISS16l ER h.oCASTRO: Yeah. I was going to say, if this was about the Man~o Island Executive Airport, I'd be your representation . And so, you lm ow, Commissioner Kowal, going to the meetings an ti being our representation, I think for this point in time, is sufficient. I'm not agains t meeting with anybody, but not --but pulling us into this discussion what I think is prematurely, having a workshop here all of a sudden makes us sort of part of this discussion, and I don't think that's advantageous, unless somebody can convince me it 1s. But, you know, it's a controversial topic. It's in the city. You know, I say this sometimes about Marco Island because it's Page 80 Page 276 of 4908 August 27, 2024 my municipality. Everything that's good, you know, sometimes the municipality wants to own. Then when it's something that's controversial, it's like, hey, county, you know, we want to sort of have a workshop and pull you into this discussion. This is something that's in their municipality. It's obviously in your district. If there was some value to hav • rig a discussion --but I think without a workshop, people can meet with us, which they haven't done. But I think, you know, li i g e erybody up here then gives --I'm trying to think of the right word --:validity or --there's probably a better word --that the eounty is now, ~ou know, involved. And, you know, I've gotten , he answers to my qu€stions by shooting e-mails to the, you know, ain,ort director, Cfi • s, and the CFO, Ken Warner, with a couple of questio s I had, and then I've seen the things that you've aia. And so to e, you know, that's sufficient. If down the road the ti ing's right where we think that a workshop's requireo --but I don't want to prematurely have one to sort of send th wrong message tliat all of a sudden, you know, the county's taking over the dli$cussion. If we've got some4uestions, you could get them answered for us and then give HS a run<Slown at one of tMese BCC meetings. If it comes tQ a point i time w ere you say, "Wow, guys, this is way above, you ow, just me. I think, you know, we need to do something in here," then I wou d follow your recommendation. But I think, you ow, for -- CO MMIS SiDN£~ McDANIEL: Did you just make --did you just make a motion te nominate Commissioner Kowal to be our spokesman in that regard? COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: Do I have a second? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Second. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: That's actually a good idea to have a liaison to the -- Page 81 Page 277 of 4908 August 27, 2024 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So moved. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: I don't have a problem. I'm already kind of doing it. COMMISSIONER LoCASTRO: You're the guy anyway, yeah. CHAIRMAN HALL: Already kind of doing it. Go ahead, Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: But there was a comment made by one of their members. "Well, he's o ommissioner." Well, I gave my opinion that day, • n't like it. COMMISSIONER SAUND I was Jus going to say, now being designated as "Father Time, n tell you I clon't really have much of an interest in discussing e a1 oval. I don't think there's anybody on this b t's yo gh to see that happen. So I think it's an inte • scussi t I'm not sure why we would start having a work int. COMMISSIONER Lo were --if they were making a proposal and sa~ing, parcel of land. We want to talk to t t abou oss1 y acquiring that land and havin • ez0 ction item, but just sort of to kibi int r a sudden to give it sort of mor tion , hink --you know, I echo what we've all said. COMMlSSIONBR KO AL: I think you answered --you all up here kind of SQoke an answer of the direction we want to go. COMMISSION£~ McDANIEL: Carry on. COMMISSION~R KOWAL: I figured I'd put it before you guys, you know, and get your opinion. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Carry on. COMMISSIONER KOWAL: And I will carry on, and I will advise them to watch the end of this meeting. CHAIRMAN HALL: Perfect. Page 82 Page 278 of 4908 August 27, 2024 County Manager. MS. PATTERSON: That's all I have. County Attorney Klatzkow? MR. KLATZKOW: I'm good. Thank you. MS. PATTERSON: Commissioners. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner G aniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. hank you, Mr. Chair. I have one small request. And we' ing on it. We had a lady, a resident in Collier County, wh0 l0s er ome in the big fires, '17, '18, lost her home. Was th ng --and through a myriad of circumstances, living in a campeF , er, and it recentl --it recently burnt down, and she lost two ofh tties ·n the fire. And she didn't call me until the da the clumpsters were showing up to tote her personal Ii£ ' get a head nod to be able to reimburse her from a a i We have --we have funds availabl ster r n s forth. The known amount is less S at your approval, I'd like to give dire s a f r get that reimbursed. She's got t and it's about --it's less than 500. L ~ I have no problem with that. CO MISSIONER McDJ\NIEL: Okay. Thank you, sir. CHA AN H~L : Commissioner Locastro. COMM SS ONER LoCASTRO: I've got a couple things. And, Ms. Harris, ~ou don't need to come to the podium, but I just wanted to say a coupe things about DAS. First of all, I appreciate the overview by the County Manager. We're all very interested and involved in DAS moving forward. And under your leadership --you know, you and I met yesterday in my office, and I'm sure you've talked with other commissioners. I feel really encouraged by your involvement. Page 83 Page 279 of 4908 August 27, 2024 The fact that you're sitting, you know, here and representing the board and then will be, I think, communicating with county staff, county leadership --and even as we said yesterday in my office, if you need to communicate with commissioners, then this is the meeting to do it, or get on our calendars, and I don't think anybody would turn you away. The discussion about the board member li at Ewa had concerns with --but you and I even talked about ,Ji is i my office. Even though that was approved today, at an x time i t y0u as the board chair feel like there's somebody on the boaFd that's no t e right person, then that should be a discussion ha you have as a boa d, but if it's something that needs to come to the CQunty Manager' , evel, I'm sure Ms. Patterson would be all ea s. If it was s0mething wlie Fe there was a disconnect and you a I agreed to disag ee and you thought it needed to, you know, go up th'e chain of command, you know, we're all ears as well. So, you o , if it --if an Board memner looks like they're not pulling their weigfit or isn' the right fit, what was the quote we said in my office that we fioth agre witli: I'd rather see no one on the board than tlie wr0ng person. nd so, you kri0w, oo v.iously, that's the, you know, sort of --yon' e got that authorit~. Like, don't miss that opportunity, you know, to Reep us posted. And on a :variety of things, but as I had said yesterday, you know, there's so many DAS staff, senior leadership, Mr. French, Ms. Patterson that i:e in between DAS and us, that utilizing that chain of command, especially for things where you can get a much faster answer, or they're the subject-matter experts. You are as well, so I appreciate, you know, your involvement and keeping all of them informed. And then if at some point you feel like you're not getting the air speed that you need, that's what we're here for. But I think Page 84 Page 280 of 4908 August 27, 2024 we've already seen really positive things down there, and thank you for stepping forward. A couple of other quick things. So, you know, just for the record, another great quote that I heard, "No one knows more about the Immokalee airport than Commissioner Bill McDaniel," right? And nobody knows more about the Naples AiFport than Commissioner Dan Kowal, right? Do we all agree? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: if he ord you were looking for before was legitimacy. COMMISSIONER LoCAST , 0 : egitimac Ah, that's exactly what I was looking for, err.1. Legitimac l couldn't get that word. It makes --it legitimizes , e; For Ms. Patterson, s0 i • menti st sort o fly about the vet departing so quickl ire. we paid that vet moving expenses, is there somethin • t says, "Hey, if you don't work for ear, u vse us with that money"? We st mov t from Whippenger (phonetic) F al , n t ey eft us after a short amount o f time 1 we :i\:Cf ' re is clawback provisions on relo -expe , o -- COMMISSIONER Lo S.ASTRO: And we're chasing those. MS. PA:TTERSON : --work --we'll work with HR to deal with that. That's so ething that the applicants also --or the hires are aware of when they accept relocation expenses. COMMISSION~R LoCASTRO: Right. Okay. I just wanted to make sure of that. And, lastly, I just wanted to thank --a host of people had two major water main breaks yesterday within a few hours of each other at Lely Resort, and so immediately the staff, you know, jumped on it. It just so happened I had Mr. French, Dr. George, and Trinity Scott in Page 85 Page 281 of 4908 August 27, 2024 my office when I got the text saying, "Guess what just happened five minutes ago?" But I want to thank Dr. George, you and your team, and the constant communication you had with me all day yesterday, and then when we had the second break at 4 p.m., you know, you and your team were really on it. I got nothing but positive notes from ke ~ Lely Resort citizens saying how impressed they were with the r action, sense of urgency, the amount of people that were out there, you ow, trying to do good. I had asked you for a couple names that ma~be are behind-the-scenes people that I wanted to recognize that I weren't [sic] aware of, and you said Ms. Libby I 0'6 Vi • ously want to thank Trinity Scott, Howard Br0ckman. And I also want to tha tli e Sheriffs (9ffice. When we had a lot of water out there and th r0acl partially collaJJsing and there was a lot of safety issues, I irnmediatelx shot a 0te to our team, and then, obviously, witli in minutes, you IID ow, you eontacted the right people. And I was ge ting texts immediately saying, "Oh, my, gosh. You know, it'£ like tH who e S A team's out here," and that was a good hing for saf€ty r asons. So I know we still Rave a lot of work to do to repair the road, but, you Khow, the permanent fixes that you made on the two water main break at light speed were impressive, and, you know, now we have some cleanup work. So I just wanted to thank you for that on behalf of all the ()ifirens of Lely. Denise Murp li y, ho's the senior manager of the Players Club and the spa, you know, she was in constant contact with me with all positive comments, as was their HOA president, Susan, and a few others. So, you know, thank you, you know, for that, and we'll --you know, make sure we finish the cleanup out there. And also, the way you got out the word so people didn't panic Page 86 Page 282 of 4908 August 27, 2024 about --that they needed to boil water. That's always the first question. You know, you were able to confirm quickly that there wasn't a boil-water notice needed, and we got out that word, you know, much faster and more efficiently than we had in the past as well. So kudos to you, you know, Dr. George and your team and everybody that was involved, Ms. Patterson. really appreciate it. So thank you. That's all I have. CHAIRMAN HALL: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDRR . I don't nav€ anything, Mr. Chairman. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: CHAIRMAN HALL. ould COMMISSIONER S anything. CHAIRMAN H~LL: Commiss·oner Kowal. ? again? airman, I don't have COMMISSIONER KOWAL : Thank you, Chairman. I just wanted t0 \1st she cl a little light on why I had that 16B3 from die consent agenrla RUllea fro th'.is particular --I just wanted to kind @f ave it moved or hav.e some more input from staff for some reasons, ecause we own tli e roperty on the other side of the weir, and then we ant to bNy a piece of property just to work on the weir, so I'd like to get a little deeper dive on that, so ... Other than that, good meeting. I did go to DAS. I made a surprise visit there ast week. I dropped off two dozen doughnuts for the volunteers. The only problem, it started raining, and they all started going home, so I don't know who ate the doughnuts, but --I paid for out of my own money so anybody could have ate it, so --ate the doughnuts. I believe that's the right thing to do. But, no --yeah, I guess, I didn't see the actual horse, but I saw Page 87 Page 283 of 4908 August 27 , 2024 the pictures of what --they brought the horse in when the Sheriffs Department, you know, removed it from the owner and brought it in. It was pretty --pretty --it looked like a skeleton with skin on it, basically. It was not the greatest image of what you'd expect to see what a horse looked like. But I think --I got a chance to see Building 5. They're doing a lot of the work in there. You know, they're in there really mitigating that thing, getting it down to the bare bone , cl own to the metal inside, getting all the contaminates from --it may hav e 19een from some of our rodent issue in there. And I think everybody's mo v.ing in the right dn~ection. I mean, just --initially, you just walk in, yotl know, unannounoeo ike that somewhere, and you go i nto some of the ou ·1c1ings, you Rn ow, they don't have time to clean up, or t e.-x don't ha~e time to put things away or make it look pretty, and was impress~d. The smell, everything was ri gfi t o spot, so I think w 're mo v ing in the right direction. Kudo toe e rxbody tfi at's o een t:ea ly rolling up their sleeves and, you ow, getting <low to the nitty-gritty to get that place in the Fight direction, so .. e o rvt ISSI QNE cD A~IEL. Agreed. <9 MMISSf6) ER K <9 W AL: ut other than that, that's all I've got. AN HA L : Tli ank you. I just --ant to entl with --you know, the public, when they're in opposition of something, they make a lot of assumptive statements, and they make a lo of --you know, they make a lot of things --you know, like just take the --we had the discussion on Tract 10, oh, several months ago where Soave Development, we traded them for some extra height for three acres, and some of the public comment came in and said, "You know, this golf course that they're building, they're going to flood our homes." And I just want to let the public Page 88 Page 284 of 4908 August 27, 2024 know that sometimes those assumptive statements are false. In this last storm that we had, we had a lot of rain before Tropical Storm Debby, and then when we had Debby, there is a swale that is between Tarpon Cove and the new golf course, and I just wanted to report that that --that that swale handled every amount --every bit of amount of water, and there wasn't even water standing in it, and the homes were not even cl0se to being flooded. So a shout-out to Soave Development fo a great job in doing what they said they were going to do, a d also to the Tarpon Cove people, that you're in safe hands. So with that, I have no othe F c0mments. ee 1n adjourned. ****Commissioner Mc n ed by Commissioner Saunders and • s uraaer the consent and summary age tea**** RES ~ UTION 202~-15fl: ESQ UTION FOR FINAL ACCEP '1'ANCE OF q'NE PRIVATE ROADWAY AND DRAINACiE IMPROV EMENTS AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAT DEDI ~~q'IQNS OR THE FINAL PLAT OF ISLES OF COLLIER PRES RX' PHASE 12, APPLICATION NUMBER PL20180001783, N D AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE OF THE MAINTENANCE SECURITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $203,216.99.
