Discussed; NIMS will soon be advertised on the Clerk’s Website
C. STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS
1) County Manager Patterson – Extending the waiving of the DAS
Adoption fees proposed
• Motion extending the DAS Adoption Fee Waiver to October 31,
2025, by Commissioner Saunders; Seconded by Commissioner
Kowal – Approved 5/0
2) Commissioner Kowal – Representative Botana is submitting a
Legislative Rule that the Naples Airport Authority be an elected
body with 2-County Residents and 3-City of Naples Residents, if it
passes; the Friends of Naples Airport filed a Class Action Lawsuit
against the City of Naples for overreach, moving powers from the
NAA and additional verbiage; Clam Bay Committee - met with
Mr. Fogg unofficially/officially, had a breakfast together, they
setup an official meeting for October 3, 2025, Mr. Fogg notified us
that the meeting has been canceled due to a non-quorum, gives the
City time to name a City Representative
3) Commissioner Hall – Thank you for entertaining what seems to be
pushing a square peg into a round whole constantly, I’m not butt
hurt about anything, thanks for listening
4) Commissioner McDaniel – Direction to staff for getting
information to the DAS Board in advance of a meeting, 1-week in
advance of the meeting when the meeting and agenda are set so
that the advisory board has the agenda and backup; during the
budget hearings, staff appropriated 50% of the Conservation
Collier tax into reserves for ongoing maintenance, the ordinance
calls for only 25%, what is the policy to raise it?; Jamie Cook
Page 10
September 23, 2025
stated that the ordinance amendment in March 2024 was written
to set the millage rate and set the percentage every year, so no
ordinance change is necessary
5) Commissioner LoCastro – I said at the last budget meeting that
I’m really encouraged by the 5 men that sit up here, the five
commissioners that even though we might agree to disagree I
really feel that when it comes time to investing the taxpayers
money we’re paddling in the same direction even if we have
disagreements and discussion, but to make a comment to what
Commissioner Hall just said, the comment I would just make is
sometimes it’s inferred when you say “I’m really looking to make
sure we don’t waste taxpayer’s money, or I want to cut taxes, or I
want to do this, when the vote then doesn’t go that way, as we say
up here, words matter. It’s somewhat inferred that we didn’t care
about saving taxpayer dollars, when you make a video and you
just say I tried real hard to save taxpayer dollars but I lost 3/2, it
sort of is throwing a stone at the three of us that, that we weren’t
smart enough to save that money. Just a comment that I would
make is that I’m really encouraged by the healthy conversation
and sharp pencils and the calculators that we’re all using, but I
think we all share that we are trying to make sure we are investing
the taxpayer’s dollars and not wasting it, but if a vote doesn’t go
the way of a certain commissioner, it doesn’t mean that we’re not
smart enough to know how to spend the money, so that’s all I
would say and I’m saying this with healthy conversation, not to be
disrespectful in any way, but like we say, sort of, “words matter”.
I feel like I’ve been on the side of, we all have, of different votes
different ways, it doesn’t mean that we care less or in that
particular instance, one commissioner tried to save the taxpayer
dollars, but failed because we weren’t smart enough to do it or
didn’t care enough to do it. If that’s not what you’re saying, I just
would say words matter. That’s my only rebuttal to that.
6) Commissioner Hall – Commissioner, no inference, I was merely
having fun at breakfast. There was no inference. I had no problem
with the vote
7) Commissioner LoCastro – One of the things I say is, sometimes
it’s not how it’s said, it’s how the citizens hear it
8) Commissioner Hall – That’s fine, they can hear it however they
want. I know me, I know my motive, and I know my heart, so I
hear yah, but nothing was inferred
Page 11
September 23, 2025
9) Commissioner Saunders – The good thing about this Board is that
we can disagree on things, and we have. We’ve had several 3/2
votes and we’ve had a lot of 4/1 votes. None of us take anything
personally, which is a good thing. We make better decisions when
we have disagreement on issues. Millage rate votes were made
based on what we thought was in the best interest for the County
after discussion - Adjourned
