Item #3
AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA - APPROVED AND/OR ADOPTED WITH CHANGES
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I'll call the county commission
meeting to order on the third of December, 1996. Mr. Dotrill, could
you lead us in an invocation and a pledge to the flag, please.
MR. DORRILL: Heavenly Father, we give thanks this
morning. We -- we give thanks and praise to you for the opportunities
that we had to spend time with friends and family over the
just-completed Thanksgiving holiday. And, Father, as always, it's our
prayer that your hand guide the deliberations of the commission this
morning. We pray for the safety and prosperity of our community and
its people, and we pray, especially during the holiday season, for
opportunities to reach out within our community and -- and lift up
those who are at need. Father, we thank you in advance for your
having blessed us in life and today especially and that you would
bless our meeting and time together here. And we pray these things in
your son's holy name. Amen.
(The pledge of allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I see we have a couple of changes to
our agenda this morning.
MR. DORRILL: Yes, sir. Good morning. I have two items
that are add-on items and then one item that we're asking to be
withdrawn. The first add-on item is under community development.
It's Item 8(A)(2). It is a routine utilities facilities acceptance
agreement for Naples Heritage, Phase 1. The other add-on item is Item
8(C)(1), which would be under public services, which is a
recommendation --
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I'm just curious why we're
adding on 8(A)(2). I don't have any objection, but we don't usually
add those on. They're part of a standard --
MR. DORRILL: Sometimes we will with the sole condition
that the paperwork has been received and approved by the attorney's
office in order to effectuate a closing on a piece of property, and
typically it's a multifamily parcel. I -- I can get that confirmed,
if -- if necessary, but that's the only way that we add those on is to
assist someone who's got a property closing.
8(C)(1) is a recommendation to authorize an amendment to
an existing lease between the board and Collier Health Services,
Incorporated. And then the one item to be withdrawn from the agenda
is a lien resolution for a code enforcement case, 60506-057, which is
Item 16(A)(6)(b), as in boy, on the consent agenda; and that would be
rescheduled, if necessary. And that's all that I have, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Mr. Weigel.
MR. WEIGEL: Yes, thank you. I have one item I'd like
to withdraw, and that is Item 9(A), a resolution concerning a
preliminary official statement for bonds.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Is that a permanent withdrawal?
MR. WEIGEL: That's a permanent withdrawal. We'll be
changing the mechanism.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay.
MR. WEIGEL: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Berry, anything further?
COHMISSIONER BERRY: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Hancock?
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Mac'Kie?
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Constantine?
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I have no
further changes.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Motion, please.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I make a motion we approve
the agenda and consent agenda as amended.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Second.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
Item #5A
PROCLAMATION PROCLAIMING COLLIER COUNTY'S SUPPORT OF ENTERPRISE
FLORIDA, INC., AS AN INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION TO LEAD THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF AN AGGRESSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT -
ADOPTED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We don't have any minutes to approve
today; so we'll go right into our proclamation.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure if
we have anyone from the EDC here with us. Ellie, do you want to come
up? The -- this is in concert with our Economic Development Council.
We have a proclamation that reads:
Whereas, Enterprise Florida, Incorporated, is designed
to be a world-class service provider for economic development programs
and services; and
Whereas, Enterprise Florida, Inc., is ready to promote
Florida nationally and internationally; and
Whereas, Enterprise Florida, Inc., provides expertise
and business resources that support high-wage job creation; and
Whereas, Enterprise Florida promotes sound and
diversified business (telephone is ringing) growth and expansion
throughout the State of Florida -- there's a business call coming in
now -- and
Whereas, Enterprise Florida, Inc., has chosen Naples,
Florida, as the site of the December 1996 Economic Summit.
Now, therefore, the Board of Collier County
Commissioners do hereby proclaim Collier County's support of
Enterprise Florida, Inc., as an innovative organization to lead the
implementation of an aggressive, comprehensive program of economic
development.
Done and ordered this 3rd day of December 1996, Board of
County Commissioners, Collier County, Florida, John C. Norris,
Chairman.
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a motion we approve this
proclamation.
COMHISSIONER MAC'KIE: Second.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
(Applause)
MS. KRIER: For the record I'm Ellie Krier with the
Chamber EDC Coalition for Government and Community Affairs, and as
always, we would like to thank the commission for their support. This
is a unique opportunity, and I think we're very excited that it is the
first ever decided here in Collier County, regardless of what the
press may have said this morning. It is an opportunity to find some
-- some unique and wonderful ways to do this in a public-private
partnership, which is -- the Economic Development Council's primary
goal in job creation is to look at how to do that by flexing private
experience into the -- the equation. And we thank you for your
support.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: The closest I got to the paper
was running over it this morning. What --
COHHISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I tripped over it on the way
out, saw the headline, and threw it inside.
Item #7A
TERRANCE L. KEPPLE REGARDING A WAIVER OF A SPECIAL EVENTS FEE - WAIVER
OF FEES APPROVED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. We have a public petition here
today, do we?
MR. DORRILL: Yes, sir. We have a public petition today
on behalf of some local Boy Scouts, and Mr. Terry Kepple is going to
present that.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Kepple, are you familiar with the
rules of our public petition? I give you 10 minutes -- MR. KEPPLE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: And -- okay.
MR. KEPPLE: Thank you. Hopefully I'll be done before
that. Good morning. For the record my name is Terrance Kepple. I am
assistant scoutmaster of Troop 274, who meets at Vanderbilt
Presbyterian Church on Immokalee Road. We're holding our Sixth Annual
Antique and Classic Car Show this year; and for the second year in a
row, we're holding it at Sam's Club on December 14th.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Terry, I'm sorry to interrupt
you, but it seems to me we've done this from time to time in the past,
and if --
MR. DORRILL: Yes, sir, we have. And -- and if you'd
just give us some encouragement, if that's what you're inclined to do,
then we'll process the minor budget amendment, and we'll pay those
fees.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I'm only one commissioner,
but I'd give you some encouragement.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: That's two.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Three.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Three.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: I think it's unanimous.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Great presentation.
MR. KEPPLE: Thank you.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Extremely persuasive.
MR. KEPPLE: Appreciate it.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, it's too late, though. I just
sold my Mustang a few months back.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: To an 82-year-old lady.
MR. KEPPLE: Perhaps you can buy it back and bring it up
to the car show.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, I'd like to, yeah.
MR. KEPPLE: But you're all invited to the -- to the car
show on December 14th, and we hope to have another good show this
year. We had about 60 participants last year, cars, and hope to have
better participation this year.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: And this is a fund-raiser for the
Boy Scouts?
MR. KEPPLE: Fund-raiser for the Boy Scouts, yes, sir.
Last year we bought camping -- camping equipment, which had gone into
a great disrepair, and we bought eight tents and stoves and things of
that nature with the proceeds last year.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Super. Good luck.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Do you have any plans for the
proceeds this year?
MR. KEPPLE: At this point, no. Some -- some years it's
-- it's a fair amount of money; sometimes it's a hundred or two
hundred dollars in -- in proceeds. And depending on the proceeds --
normally it's divvied between the scouts and the troop, half of it
going to the scouts for camp during the summer or special events that
they need money to go and the rest of it going to buy equipment for
the -- the troop itself.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you.
MR. KEPPLE: Thank you.
Item #8A1
RESOLUTION 96-568 KNOWN AS THE LAWHETKA PUD EXTENDING THE PUD FOR TWO
YEARS AND PUD AMENDMENT TO BE BROUGHT BACK - ADOPTED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Our next item is 8(A)(1), staff review
and recommendations relative to Ordinance PUD-90-26.
MR. NINO: Ron Nino for the record, planning services
department. The Lawmetka PUD is one of those PUDs that is now five
years old and is, therefore, subject to the sunsetting provisions of
the Land Development Code. Lawmetka was adopted in 1990, and I think
it's important to point out that those PUDs that were adopted from '90
on are generally reflective of contemporary formats that follow a -- a
sample PUD document that our office put out in the late '80s, in '89
and '90. And that -- that that document contained boilerplate
language which, nonetheless, from a legal point of view, is very
important in that it defers to the Land Development Code whenever the
provisions of the PUD are not clear or are absent.
So for purposes of the -- the Lawmetka PUD, all of the
recent amendments to the Land Development Code relative to
architectural styles and enhanced landscaping and uniform signage and
increases in some parking standards would all apply to the Lawmetka
PUD.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Can we just pause for a second?
So -- so there's not -- there are no issues with regard to development
standards?
MR. NINO: Correct.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: It absolutely has to comport with
the current standards? MR. NINO: Correct.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Okay. And then you're going to
tell us about density and --
MR. NINO: The Lawmetka PUD is consistent with the
Future Land Use Element because it is located within an activity
center. And I apologize. I should have started out by saying the
Lawmetka PUD is located on the northwest corner of Wiggins Pass Road
and U.S. 41; and completely surrounding the Lawmetka PUD is the Tarpon
Cove development, which is currently under development -- development
as a residential community. By virtue of its location within an
activity center, it's reasonable to expect that that would have been
zoned to a commercial classification.
The -- the Future Land Use Element allows the full range
of commercial activities. This PUD embodies within it land uses that
are generally found in the C-1 through C-4 zoning districts. It's,
therefore, consistent with the Future Land Use Element and the Growth
Management Plan, and it remains consistence with -- consistent with
other applicable elements of the Growth Management Plan by virtue of
-- of, again, a recent review by jurisdictional staff relative to
transportation, levels of service, utilities, open space, conservation
practices. All of those regulations are adequately covered in the PUD
to ensure that -- that prior to any building permit, issues of
conservation and open space would be assured as a function of either a
preliminary subdivision plat approval process or a -- or a site
development plan process.
The petitioner has asked that the PUD be extended
another two years. I believe representatives are here to discuss with
you or explain why at this point of time they actually haven't gotten
into the physical development. Staff recommends that the PUD be
extended by two years.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: And the -- and the staff has not
recommended that any amendment whatsoever be taken to this PUD?
MR. NINO: We didn't find any reason to recommend an
amendment because it is consistent, and we're confident that all of
the most recent amendments to the Land Development Code, which
addresses the things that we would normally have addressed, at this
point in time will take place.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Including landscape buffers?
MR. NINO: Including landscape buffers.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Would the petitioner like to say a few
words here?
MR. ANDERSON: Good morning, Commissioners. For the
record my name is Bruce Anderson on behalf of the property owner. We
are requesting a two-year extension based on the fact that the project
is presently undergoing wetland permitting with the Army Corps of
Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District. We would
commit to initiate a PUD amendment within the two-year period when the
-- the environmental permits have been issued. We feel that a PUD
amendment is probably going to be necessary as a result of the
permitting that we're undergoing at the present time.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. So you -- you want a two-year
extension, but you will commit to some sort of PUD amendment within
that two-year period?
MR. ANDERSON: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Mr. Chairman, I'd just like to at
least put out there that one concern I have in looking through the PUD
is the height of 50 feet for structures. Tarpon Cove, which is
immediately adjacent -- there doesn't appear to be any transitional
height or additional buffering to smooth that transition between the
two; so at time of amendment, I would ask the petitioner to -- you
know, if I'm still sitting here, I'm probably going to ask those same
questions. I'm going to look for more of a transitional approach to
the adjacent properties. If you still wish to maintain a 50-foot
height, if you come down to 35, I think that would be consistent with
Tarpon Cove, but either way just somehow affecting the perimeter
transition of the project. That was not really done in 1990 as much
as we're doing it today. I'd like to see that done. That's all.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Any other questions for the
petitioner? Any other public speakers?
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you.
MR. DORRILL: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Do we have a motion?
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I'm going to move that we, I
guess -- actually, I'm looking for the proper word here. CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Extend for two years?
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Yeah, extend for two years under
the -- taking into account the statements by the petitioner that they
will initiate a PUD amendment within that time frame.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: I'll second it.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Second.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
Item #8A2
ACCEPTANCE OF WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES FOR NAPLES HERITAGE, PHASE 1A
- APPROVED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Next item is the add-on, 8(A)(2).
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I'll make a
motion we approve the item. COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Second.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: As routine as -- as this is, I
assume our -- our staff goes through and, in essence, does a
feasibility study on all of these to make sure we're not getting a bum
-- I've just never looked into these; so rather than holding this
conversation up on these facilities acceptance, can I get a -- just a
staff briefing on these on how we accept them and what condition
rating we give them to do so?
MR. DORRILL: I -- I've been advised that this one was
actually on the agenda last week and was continued to resolve a
particular matter. We can provide you the information on whatever the
issue was, how it was resolved, but these are normally scheduled at
the convenience of the petitioner.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Agreed. I don't have a problem
with that. I don't want to hold the item up. I just wanted to take
the opportunity to ask staff if I could meet with them on these items
and just understand the process a little bit better.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Absolutely. We have a motion and a
second on this one. All those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
Item #SB1
PROPOSED CAXAMBAS PASS INLET MANAGEMENT PLAN AND REQUEST REVIEW BY THE
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - APPROVED;
STAFF TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Next item, 8(B)(1).
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Do we have public speakers?
MR. DORRILL: We have one who I presume is in support.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: One?
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Is this on the Caxambas Pass?
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah. I mean, it just seems
to me we've had this discussion a number of times. We've had --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have, but there's one --
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: -- a lot of detail here.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: There's one thing I think we need --
we do need to discuss today. Mr. Huber.
MR. HUBER: Good morning, Commissioners. For the
record, Harry Huber with the office of capital projects management.
This item is a request to approve in concept the proposed Caxambas
Pass inlet management plan to authorize the staff to submit it to the
State Department of Environmental Protection for review and
consideration for adoption.
This plan was prepared by Coastal Engineering
Consultants pursuant to an agreement approved by the board in April --
Hay of 1994. On April 22nd of this year, a public workshop was
conducted on Marco Island to present and discuss recommended inlet
management alternatives.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Huber, I'm sorry to interrupt you,
but I think we're -- we're all comfortable with the plan. But one of
the things that I'm concerned with is the implementation schedule. I
understand that -- that we're being recommended to hold this until
after turtle nesting season; is that correct?
MR. HUBER: Well, just sort of based on the things that
have to be accomplished prior to us doing some dredging, I didn't
think a five-month period -- not that it's impossible, but I felt
that, you know, to go on a routine schedule, that would be the -- the
proper time, after the sea turtle season in -- next November, but --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. So you're saying that you don't
feel -- that you think the schedule would be too tight to get the --
the initial dredge work done before turtle nesting season?
MR. HUBER: Well, I -- we can certainly make a
wholehearted attempt to -- just to give you an idea of some of the
things that need to be accomplished prior to that. Naturally, we
would have to prepare the construction plans and put it out to bid,
which that could take the better part of three months to do that;
award the contract; and then just assuming it's going to take,
probably, 30 days to do -- to mobilize and do the dredging, you know.
So you've taken up four months there. And -- and then, you know, we
also need to do a minor modification to the -- the permit and have
that in place before, you know --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Well, the reason I ask and that
causes me a little concern is that we have committed to the boaters in
that area that we would go as rapidly as possible to make sure that
they continue to have a good, clear access through Caxambas Pass. And
rather than try to delay it until after turtle nesting season, if we
could possibly go forward, I think that's the commitment that we made
to the -- to the boaters down there.
MR. HUBER: And just one other item that I just thought
of in that regard, possibly, since there's -- you know, I'd have to
confirm that, but the area where we would be disposing of the -- the
dredge material, more than likely, because of the erosion down in that
area, there's probably not any sea turtle nesting right now anyway
until the -- the beach fill would be placed. Possibly we could get an
extension into the sea turtle season.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: So -- so it would actually be better
for sea turtle nesting if we -- if we did go forward quickly because
we would provide them with a -- with an additional area to nest.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Be careful using logic. This is
the DEP we're talking about.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Hancock, I think you had
a question.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I did. And likewise, Mr. Huber,
I understand that you're not a magician, but if you have any wizard
skills, you might want to pull those out, because we did make a
commitment to those boaters to do everything possible; and I -- even
though Caxambas has never shoaled in, we made that commitment. And --
and I think if we can hold it to as tight a schedule as possible, I --
I'm supportive of that. My question is, how many inlet management
plans have we transmitted to the state as a county so far? MR. HUBER: Just one: Wiggins Pass.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Okay. So this would be the
second one?
MR. HUBER: Correct.
COMHISSIONER HANCOCK: Have we transmitted Clam Pass
yet?
MR. HUBER: No. We've applied -- we submitted an
application for a long-term permit, but we --
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: And how many have been approved?
MR. HUBER: None.
COMHISSIONER HANCOCK: Okay. So --
MR. HUBER: I mean, it -- you know, but we've -- we've
already started the process to implement Wiggins Pass.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: So, in essence, we're
transmitting these to the state, which allows us to go ahead and do
the dredging that's necessary, even though we're not getting approved
plans back from the state. Has that more or less been the process?
MR. HUBER: That's -- that's correct. That's the way
I've been proceeding.
COMHISSIONER HANCOCK: Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Any other questions?
Public speakers?
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Blanchard, only in the event that you
have specific questions of him.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Any specific questions for
Mr. Blanchard?
Do we have a motion then?
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: I'm going to move approval of the
-- the conceptual Caxambas Pass inlet management plan to request
review by the DEP.
COMHISSIONER MAC'KIE: Second.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Could you -- could I ask you to also
add to your motion that -- that we direct staff to -- to go posthaste
with the --
COMHISSIONER HANCOCK: Well, you can ask. Yeah. I'll
-- I'll include in my motion direction to staff to move as quickly as
possible toward the implementation of the dredge portion of the
project to maintain an open pass for the boaters in that area.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Second amends.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Anything further, Mr. Huber?
MR. HUBER: One thing, and I might have Michael Poff
from Coastal Engineering to address it. We had sev -- when our
natural resources department reviewed the plan, they had several
concerns. I just wanted to get them on the record, and I think we --
you know, I think Michael Poff can explain it and address it -- their
concerns. I just wanted to make them part of the record, if that's --
if that's appropriate.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. All right.
MR. POFF: Good morning, Commissioners. For the record
my name is Michael Poff. I'm an associate engineer with Coastal
Engineering Consultants. As Harry stated, the natural resources
department had several concerns about the plan. The first one was the
design, vessel size, and draft that we selected to design the depth of
the maintenance dredge channel. We chose a 6-foot-draft vessel to
accommodate the sailboats that do utilize Caxambas Pass. We do know
that they do use the pass. They've been identified in the natural
resources boating study that was conducted several years ago, and we
feel that that's an appropriate size. There are deeper channels in
the Caxambas Pass system as opposed to their comment being, why don't
we look at Wiggins Pass and stick with the same draft size used for
Wiggins Pass. And we feel that's inappropriate because Caxambas Pass
does have deeper water, and we do know sailboats utilize it.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: When you say "the natural resources
department," you're referring the county's natural resources -- MR. POFF: Correct.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you.
MR. POFF: The second concern was the shore bird
utilization on the emerging shoals in the past system. The emerging
shoals form, deform, and reform depending on the processes of the
inlets. Our plan is to normalize these processes by maintaining a
navigation channel and controlling the balance of wave energy and
tidal hydraulics. We hope the normalization of those processes will
be able to normalize the shoal formation and possibly enhance the
shoal formation and increase the shore bird utilization of the area.
Also by placing the dredge spoil on the beach that's
critically eroded on the south end of Marco, we will probably enhance
and restore some shore bird utilization area on that beach segment.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, that's good, because we would
certainly want to leave no turn unstoned.
(Laughter)
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: You've been waiting three
years to use that.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: I almost withdrew there.
(Laughter)
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Yeah. I don't want to be a part
of that.
MR. HUBER: Thank you.
Item #882
REPORT ON THE LELY AREA STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NON-BINDING
STRAW VOTE AND REQUEST FOR DIRECTION ON FUTURE PLAN-OF-ACTION - STAFF
TO CONCENTRATE ON SPREADER SWALE SYSTEMS WHILE REVIEWING OTHER
ALTERNATIVES
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you. Next item is the report on
the Lely area stormwater improvement project.
MR. CONRECODE: Good morning, Commissioners. For the
record, Tom Conrecode from public works. The item before you is a
report back on the results of the straw poll, the nonbinding straw
vote that occurred on November 5th regarding the Lely project. The --
the results of the vote give an indication of a couple things: One,
the success of it in that it has fairly positive, strong support of
response from the voters; secondly, negative in that the total number
of no votes exceeded the total number of aye votes.
What we'd like the board to do is give some
consideration to a number of factors today and then, finally, give
board -- or give staff direction on how they'd like us to proceed with
the project, either as a complete, uniform project as it was
originally proposed or some modifications to that based on the
analysis of the precinct-by-precinct vote counts.
An important thing for the board to consider today is
the issue of landowners versus voters. The landowners will be
assessed for the improvements within the district. And not in every
case, though, is a voter necessarily a landowner; and not in every
case is a landowner registered to vote, necessarily, in the precincts
in which they own the land. So it's an important consideration when
you look at what the balance of the numbers are and the makeup of the
voters. Unfortunately, we don't know, and we have no way of
determining what that variable is; but there is a -- a large
population of condominiums down there and, as a result, probably a
substantial number of tenters who are also registered voters in those
precincts.
I'm going to turn it over to John to talk to you about
the precinct-by-precinct analysis and some modifications that we can
make to the project or, if the board decides, to go forward with it in
its entirety.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I assume prior to actually
doing the straw vote that we were aware that there was a difference
between landowners and voters.
MR. CONRECODE: Yes, sir. I just wanted to bring that
up.
MR. BOLDT: Good morning, Commissioners. For the
record, John Boldt, your stormwater management director. On the
handout I give is the -- is the same map you're seeing there, just a
little easier to see. As you get an idea, there's a fairly wide
variation of response from the -- the voters in the area. However,
there's a tendency in those areas, particularly southwesterly of
U.S. 41 and the Naples Manor area and also Riviera for less support
than the -- the other parts of the project; and I put those in yellow
to indicate those areas are -- had less than 40 percent -- 40 percent
support levels.
You can draw some conclusions from that; however, the --
the numbers are very little. You take the Naples Manor project, for
instance. The subdivision itself has several thousand residents, and
yet we only had, what; a little over 200 voters express an interest in
that area. There's a lot of tenters there. There are a lot of
working people that aren't registered to vote, and so there was a
40/60 ballot split there; but that's a very poor response. So it's
not a real good indication.
The other areas southwesterly of -- of U.S. 41, also
very small numbers, very few people live down in that area. I was
quite surprised that the area along Bayshore, which is along the
westerly portion of the project, for instance, has a -- a chronic
flooding problem down there, has for a number of years, and yet we
only had, what; 66 people indicate a response; and there was 39
percent for and 61 percent against.
There might be some logic in using the results of the --
of the straw vote to determine where the interest is as far as
construction purposes goes. However, it's pretty obvious that we
can't eliminate everything, say, southwesterly of U.S. 41, because
that is the outlet for both the -- the Lely system and the Naples
Manor system. So that's the -- the heart of the outlet, and obviously
we can't eliminate it.
What could be done, perhaps, if it would -- want to be
your option would be scale back the scope of the project as it might
impact Naples Manor and the southern portions of the -- the Lely
subdivision itself. It didn't show so much on the map I handed out,
but on the map there, you can see the blue line that separates the --
the Lely basin and the Naples Manor system that runs through the Lely
subdivision, although, all those swales and lakes pretty much within
that subdivision are interconnected.
So if we were to make improvements to the Lely main,
which runs along the south side of -- of Rattlesnake Hammock, there's
going to be some positive impact, even to the southern fringes of the
Lely subdivision, because the water in that area can also drain north
or kind of up grade if there's a much better outlet down there than
there would be to the south. Since they are interconnected, there
could be crossflow across that basin line.
The table I provided you in the -- the executive summary
gives you a -- a rough idea of how the cost of the project is broken
down between the Lely main and branch system and the Lely Manor. Our
estimated cost is 16 million dollars. It's split out about 11 million
in the main system and about 5 million in the Manor system. A real
quick computation of property values in the whole area is about 758
million dollars for the total, and again, that's split out. About 84
percent is in the Lely main, and a hundred -- or 16 percent was in the
Manor system; so it's rather disportionate (phonetic). And if you
were to apply that on through, apply it to a property tax, a millage
rate, you can see the millage rates vary for the main at 8.6, the
Manor, 20. If you put the whole system together as we originally had
proposed, that's around 10 mills. And that's the figures that we used
when we originally worked up some of the original cost estimates on a
per-property basis. So --
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Excuse me. Did you say 10
mills?
MR. BOLDT: Yes. That would be for the total. Then
depending how you would split it out -- if you were to split it over a
five-year period, for instance, that would be 2 mills per year; and if
you were to bond it, of course, over a 15- to 20-year period, you'll
have -- minimizes the cost per year. I gave you a total here. Do it
all in one year, for instance.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Okay. I understand.
MR. BOLDT: That's obviously, you know, not that
doable. So our conclusion was, just because the historic difficulty
in getting widespread support for creating assessments or taxing
districts for drainage, we felt that the 46 percent support figure
represents a real significant show of interest in the project; and
we're recommending full implementation of the total project, and then
-- with all the various options we'd like to have you consider. I
guess that would be the first question.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay.
MR. BOLDT: If you want to proceed with the project, we
would like to go through some of the options that we -- we reviewed
and alternatives so we can get some direction. CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay.
MR. BOLDT: But if there's no interest in the project,
that would be that.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, there's definitely an interest
in the project. As you -- as you mentioned, however, it wasn't full
support. So let me ask you a question: What is the permitting status
of our spreader soil system?
MR. BOLDT: At this point in time, we -- we have our
South Florida Water Management District permit to put the full project
-- everything that we've conceived. We've had great difficulty
getting it from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. A
recent legislation change has delegated that authority for dredge and
fill construction to the water management district; so our strategy at
this point in time is, we're going to withdraw applications for both
those agencies and reapply under the new permitting system that South
Florida Water Management District has called the Environmental
Resource Permit, the ERP. And we've been given encouragement that
that's doable.
There are a few unresolved issues up in the area north
of Royal Wood and the Naples Heritage project that you considered
earlier. There's some wetlands up there that need to be worked out,
how we can provide some flood drainage control without overdraining
the wetlands, but the --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. My question is -- is directed
specifically at just the -- the spreader soil system itself and not
the total project for the moment, but just -- MR. BOLDT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: -- just that spreader soil, because I
know we've had a holdup in the past on getting those permits. So you
feel that -- that by withdrawing and reapplying that we can go forward
with permitting on that?
MR. BOLDT: Yes, we do, right. Everybody seems to give
us encouragement on that area.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Constantine.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I realize there's a need to
do some improvements in the area, but if 46 percent were enough for
something to move forward, we'd have either additional or different
faces sitting up in many of these seats right now. The unfortunate
reality is, a majority of the people didn't want to move forward with
this plan. There is an 8-point differential there. I just can't, in
good conscience, ignore what they said and go ahead full bore. I -- I
think we do need to address some issues down there, and -- and I guess
what I'd prefer -- and I don't know if the rest of the board agrees,
but what I'd prefer to do is -- is look at what some scaled-back
versions of dealing with the problem might be, because I'm not
comfortable with moving forward with what the majority of the people
have said they don't want to do.
COMMISSIONER BERRY: Is there any chance of phasing the
project?
MR. BOLDT: Yeah, very definitely. It could be phased
over a number of years putting both projects together, but obviously
you've got to have an outlet to do it; so we'd have to start at the
lower end and work our way upstream, even though some of our bigger
problems are in the upper reaches. We'd have to phase it in that
direction.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Dotrill, any public speakers?
MR. DORRILL: Yes, sir, I have two. Mr. Carpenter, if
you would, please, sir; and then, Miss Slebodnik, if you'd stand by.
MR. CARPENTER: Hi. Dave Carpenter. I'm president of
East Naples Civic. I did some checking on stormwater management,
looked in a couple books on it, and I discovered that the first
stormwater management project that I could find, it got far less than
46 percent of the vote, but Noah went ahead and built it. The other
situation with this straw --
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Sorry. Took a minute. Took a
minute, but I got it. Noah, ark.
MR. CARPENTER: We asked people to vote in a straw
ballot, which means it's nonbinding on either party, to impose a tax
upon themselves when, number one, they weren't certain of the total
cost; and number two, they werenwt certain how that tax was going to
be applied. That makes for a difficult vote at best. The timing of
the vote in its ballot position did not allow for the time to get
full, final figures on the project together and out to the voters; it
was placed at the end of a ballot that was, in some cases, 21 pages
long, which accounts for tremendous drop-off; and it followed a -- a
theme of people voting no, no, no to new taxes. So I think on that
basis, I think 46 percent was actually pretty good.
You also have a problem, though, that exists with every
stormwater management project that you look at anywhere in this
country or anywhere in this county; and that is, you have people whose
houses flooded during Jerry, whose streets were constantly under
water; but then you have -- upstream you have people whose houses
didnwt flood, whose streets were relatively dry. Now, obviously, the
guy whose house is flooded is very much encouraged to vote for any
stormwater project, but the person whose house didnwt flood, the odds
are hews going to say, why should I impose this tax upon myself, even
though his water eventually is going to go downstream and may very
well be contributing to the flooding lower down in the system.
Therews a natural tendency in a system like this for
people upstream to vote against it, where people that get down closer
to the outfall into the areas where the flooding is more to vote for
it. And thatws something -- thatws why we have county commissioners
to make the tough decisions on that. Thatws why that every issue
before this commission isnwt put out to a straw ballot and isnwt put
out to public vote, because if it were, probably very little would
ever be accomplished.
My recommendation would be to take -- Iwd say take a
look at this system. There may be some modifications made to it. You
know, I donlt think it was written in stone, but I certainly think the
process should proceed on it. I think, under the circumstances, 46
percent shows a hell of a show of support, particularly when you
couldnlt tell these people how the tax would even be applied.
And I think itls -- itls time to take a look at the
problem in a regional sense and say, hey, welve got to improve,
particularly, the outflow, either that or welre -- this countyls going
to be stuck for years with an inadequate system thatls going to have
more use as development comes on line in that area, and welre going to
have a real problem on -- on our hands, and itls going to -- and itls
eventually going to affect the tax structure of that entire end of the
county. Thank you. Any questions?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Carpenter.
MR. DORRILL: Miss Slebodnik.
MS. SLEBODNIK: Good morning. Iim Kathleen Slebodnik,
president of the League of Women Voters of Collier County, and I also
served on the EAR Public Facilities Committee, and stormwater
management was the -- one of the six subelements that we took a look
at. Iim speaking today in favor of the leaguels position for water
and land use combination. What this area needs very seriously is the
basin study, the master plan. However you phase in the development
work, please take a very serious look at considering the -- the basin
studies that need to be done. Yes, they are expensive, and what you
get back, I suppose, is a -- is a stack of paper. But this area has
experienced a lot of growth and very precious little management.
We have an area that has grown in a very mixed kind of
way. We have what used to be low-income housing. Now it is
surrounded by very high-element housing in terms of Eagle Creek or
Lely Resort. We have areas that are residential across the street
from where you pick strawberries and cattle still graze. We have an
area that is very flat, and it is a -- an area that is going to
experience a lot of growth in the area, but it's not -- it's not --
and this -- these approvals and permitting should be done on the basis
of basin studies where we can take a look at the -- the results and
see exactly what it is that we need. And I cannot as a -- as a league
representative urge you strong -- more strongly that land use and
water use are so terribly important to be interrelated that whatever
plans that you have, please start with a basin study.
Responsibility has to start somewhere. The Master Plan
that was done in 1990 -- the commissioners at that time simply did
nothing. Nobody wanted to take on the responsibility and say this is
something that has to be done. The county said, well, we'll let the
south water management district do it. South water management
district said that's a local problem. Big Cypress Basin said we don't
want to raise taxes and add to the millage. Consequently, nothing was
done. I think this is an opportunity that we have to start, and what
we need to start with is the study. Thank you.
MR. DORRILL: And that's all, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Boldt, if you revise your
permitting strategy, withdraw, and reapply, I -- I would -- it would
be my opinion that if we presented this spreader soil project to the
DEP as an environmental project as well as drainage, more
environmental -- which it is actually -- do -- do you, in your
professional opinion, feel that they would be more inclined to help us
fund that project?
MR. BOLDT: Actually fund it? Yeah. They've given some
encouragement to us because the impact it has on the intercoastal
area, Dollar Bay and Rookery Bay, which are sensitive areas for them,
that there could be some funding. The permitting down there was
really never any issue. They've encouraged us to restore the
historical flow by that spreader facility. We even -- we even think
that's part of our mitigation for the project that might offset some
impacts upstream in some wetlands. So that's -- that's never been the
real issue with them.
That's the total project that's kind of overwhelmed
them. They're used to looking at small developments, you know, eighty
acres or a hundred and twenty acres. Well, when you put something
this large -- we have some, what; 11 -- 18 square miles or whatever it
was. It just overwhelmed them, and they couldn't grasp the total
magnitude of the project, and so they drug their feet through it. But
now with the delegation, they've even taken all their records that
were up in Tallahassee and shipped them down to Fort Myers to the
local office; so they don't even -- aren't in the process anymore.
So it really makes sense to go back to the South Florida
Water Management District under that ERP process to start that process
over. So whether or not you scale the project back or not is -- is --
I think, is the question and even what they would allow. They've been
permitting projects out here for a number of years in the upstream
reaches with the anticipation that this project was going to be
completed according to the Master Plan that the water management
district did back in 1985, and they're very anxious to see that whole
thing put together. If we start to break it apart, I'm not sure how
they're going to react.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Well, the -- what is the
current status of the basin board's basin study?
MR. BOLDT: They're doing a complete countywide study.
There's still a process of engaging consultants to do various phases
of it. From what I see, it's going to be a -- you know, a year or two
off before they bring the whole thing together. This particular area,
though, this -- this so-called Water Management District No. 6, they
did the Master Plan update on that in 1985, and that initiated the
process that we're in, which is the next step to go to permitting and
then, perhaps, into the construction phase. So this has had a basin
study done. We know what the total project looks like.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: So the basin studies that Miss
Slebodnik was asking for are underway -- MR. BOLDT: Yes.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: -- by the basin board?
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: And -- and were completed in '85
as to this project area, which is real important that -- to
acknowledge that we're not pursuing action here without having --
frankly, what we're slow on is the action. We've had this study for
this section since 1985.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: What I would like to propose is that
we -- we have some funding available that -- that's already been set
into these accounts. I would like to propose that we -- we
concentrate our efforts for the moment on getting the spreader soil
project underway and -- because we can't really do -- as you've
mentioned, we can't do anything else upstream until we get this
portion of the project.
In the interim as a parallel activity, I'd like to see a
-- maybe, perhaps, some new ideas, new strategy formulated to go
ahead and -- and begin the process of the -- of more of the entire
project, maybe not all of it. As you say, there might be parts that
-- that could be eliminated, but I'd like to see us concentrate on
that spreader soil system for the moment and -- and see if we can't
get that thing underway and -- while we -- while we formulate plans to
-- to address the rest of the basin there.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: You see us doing that with
the existing funding?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: For the moment, yes. I think we -- we
can go a long ways with the existing funding towards getting ready.
We won't -- we don't have enough funding available to actually do the
construction, but we can certainly have it ready to go. And Mr. Boldt
would be more than happy to bring it back to us here when he gets a
little farther along and tell us how we're going to fund it.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Well, you certainly know the
area better than any of us, and I think if that's an appropriate first
step in the process while we look at what the other alternatives are,
I'm willing to support that, and I'll go ahead and make a motion.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Second.
MR. BOLDT: Can I inquire as to -- you're talking about
both spreaders for both systems? COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Yes.
MR. BOLDT: These are critical outlets for both
projects.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Yes.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. The -- what -- on the Manor
basin spreader, is that going to be functional without some work
upstream, or is there -- is there not enough flowage into it to make
it a worthwhile project at this point? Could you tell us -- tell us a
little bit about that.
MR. BOLDT: The present flow that comes out of the --
the Manor area, a lot of it goes west along the so-called Lely Lakes
project, through a wetland, and comes down through a ditch that comes
up to the very end of the spreader facility; so this could be directed
into the spreader and restored that way. But otherwise, there's a
series of ditches that go all the way through this whole area out in
here (indicating) that were, under the Lely Lakes project, to be
interrupted and rerouted through an existing cypress area down through
here (indicating) to restore the historical flow. If we're just --
construct the -- the spreader down here, it would pick up all the flow
that comes around this way (indicating) and could be going out; so it
could provide --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay.
MR. BOLDT: -- part of the function.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well then, yes, I think that would be
the thing to do, especially since the -- the reasoning for the
spreader soils is to -- to restore that historical sheet flow to the
largest degree possible and -- and be environmentally sensitive down
in that area. So since we do have good flowage coming in from that
north canal that you've pointed out there, then it makes sense to go
ahead and -- and include that as part of the -- the whole spreader
project.
MR. BOLDT: Okay. One other thing that I need to point
out. On the -- on the main canal itself, in order for this spreader
to function, it needs a water level control structure at that location
to split the flow and divert it in both directions; so it would be --
that's kind of an integral part of the spreader itself.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Then the direction is, yes, as
I understand it, Mr. Motion Maker, to -- to do them both or to work on
both of them?
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: That's correct, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify --
MR. DORRILL: Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: -- by saying aye.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: Do you have a speaker?
MR. DORRILL: Well, I had -- I had one after the fact.
Miss -- Miss Leinwebber, do you still wish to speak in light of the
motion?
MS. LEINWEBBER: Hi. I'm Judy Leinwebber, and I am kind
of fighting the flu this morning. I ask our county commissioners to
really look at this man and that map over there (indicating), because
whatever we do and wherever we put the money, just remember this is
going to handle a 25-year storm only.
Glenn Simpson from the Big Cypress Basin Board said it
seems like we are having hundred-year storms more and more often. You
put in this system, and when we get another storm like we had from
Jerry, or if we get a hurricane, a direct hit like Andrew, thousands
of people are going to lose their lives, because this is only up to a
25-year storm. It's not going to take care of our hundred-year
storms, and we get them. We get hurricanes. We get tropical storms.
This is a sham on this county. We need to get the water out of here
when we have a storm.
When we had the flooding from Jerry and Opal, there's a
couple of our county commissioners that are in print in the
newspaper: They couldn't get those damn weirs open because they were
either rusted, welded. They couldn't get them open for four days.
And, yes, we would have had flooding, which normally happens down
here. It did not have to be as bad as it was, because they
(indicating) are not doing their job.
I expect our county commissioners to take responsibility
and to do the right job, and that's to get the water open. It's to
get the weirs open. It's not being done, and I think our county
commissioners realize this; so we're going to invest our tax dollars
in a 25-year storm facility. What happens with the 100-year storms?
And even Glenn Simpson from the Big Cypress Basin Board admitted it;
it failed. Thank you.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Due to a lack of information, I'm
afraid that Miss Leinwebber doesn't understand that if you design the
water management system for a hundred-year storm and your house
foundation is built at 25-year, guess what happens; your house floods
faster, quicker, more frequently. Until all the homes and buildings
in this community are raised to a hundred-year-storm elevation,
designing a system for that is -- is money down the tubes.
MS. LEINWEBBER: But we can't --
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: No, Miss Leinwebber, you had your
time at the microphone.
We cannot go back and retrofit every home and every
office building at a hundred-year-storm elevation. It's unrealistic.
It can't happen. But we can certainly provide better protection than
what is there now. And if a hurricane hits, guess what, folks; we're
going to flood. This is Florida. It's flat. This is not rocket
science. So we can do a lot better job, and I think that's exactly
what the motion entailed. So, you know, Miss Leinwebber, I'd
encourage you to talk to a professional engineer about bringing the
county up to a hundred-year storm because I have, and it's just not
practical.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Well, in any case, I called the
question, and we did vote on that. The vote was 5 to 0, I believe.
Item #8C1
AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN COLLIER COUNTY AND COLLIER
HEALTH SERVICES, INC. AND COLLIER COUNTY AND THE COLLIER COUNTY PUBLIC
HEALTH DEPARTMENT - APPROVED
The next item is an add-on, 8(C)(1), the Collier Health
Services lease amendment.
MR. OLLIFF: Good morning. For the record, Tom Olliff,
your public services administrator. The -- the add-on item, 8(C)(1),
is a follow-up from an item two weeks ago where the board gave its
approval of a privatized contract between the Collier Health
Department and Collier Health Services, Inc. What the health
department has -- has determined is that based on some additions to
what they are going to privatize, there actually needs to be some
minor changes to the leases that the county has with both of those
entities. The total square footage being leased by the county won't
change. The terms won't change. It's simply changing which entity
has what square footage, and --
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Just, actually, who has what
space on the floor plan.
MR. OLLIFF: Yes, ma'am.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: I'm happy to move approval of
that.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: I'll second it.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Public speakers, Mr. Dorrill?
MR. DORRILL: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Motion and a second. All those in
favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?

Item #9A - Withdrawn
Item #9B
RESOLUTION 96-569, APPROVING A PROPOSED SPECIAL ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER
89-449, LAWS OF FLORIDA, TO EMPOWER COUNTY PARK ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
(PARK RANGERS) TO ISSUE CITATIONS TO ENFORCE ANY COUNTY ORDINANCE
WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF ANY COLLIER COUNTY PARK, COLLIER COUNTY
OPERATED PRAKING FACILITIES, PUBLIC BEACHES, BEACH ACCESS AREAS LOCATED
IHMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO ANY COLLIER COUNTY PARK AND PUBLIC AREAS
ADJACENT TO COUNTY PARKS - ADOPTED
Next item, 9(B). Mr. Weigel.
MR. WEIGEL: Yes. Thank you. I think Mr. Olliff is
going to start the presentation followed by Mr. Hanalich.
MR. OLLIFF: Item 9(B) is -- is being presented by me
only because it is an item being driven by the parks department. I'm
still the public services administrator. The -- the item here is --
is requesting some additional enforcement duties and powers be
bestowed upon your park rangers. There's -- there's two primary
issues that we're trying to address, and what's required is a special
act, which we are requesting that you approve for presentation to the
legislative delegation.
One of the items is recognition that park rangers are
actually a -- a county commission arm as opposed to working for the
sheriff's department. That's just an issue that wasn't clear before
and needs to be clarified.
The second item is -- is one where the -- the current
arrangement only allows the park rangers to be able to enforce county
ordinances within the boundaries of your existing park system. What
happens in some cases is there may be a special county event at a
library, and -- and you would like to have your park rangers to be
able to coordinate some parking -- parking enforcement and enforcement
of other county ordinances at a special event outside of a park, and
we don't have that ability today.
And the second issue is -- is for some of those areas
adjacent to county parks -- and I'll give you a -- good example is the
-- the Bayview boat launch area where you have a lot of parking
violations where people will end up parking in the front yards of
people who live adjacent to the county park.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, you know the
last thing I want to do is interrupt staff presentation, but this
sounds like a really great idea.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Great idea. Why has it taken us
so long? Let's do it.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Let's have our public --
MR. DORRILL: I presume Mr. Blanchard is here in
support.
MR. BLANCHARD: For the record my name is Frank
Blanchard from Marco Island. I don't intend to stop your positive
vote, far be it from that. The Marco Beach Committee did discuss with
the parks department several years ago the possibility of doing just
this, and we would very strongly support this motion for two reasons.
We -- we were discussing control of beach vendor violations. We have
that, I think, under control under a voluntary compliance system. But
once you have the -- the park ranger in place, there are many other
useful benefits, such as simply responding to citizen need on the
beaches. When you're on the beach, you're by yourself. There is --
it's very difficult to get assistance, and so we'd like to strongly
support this.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Blanchard.
COMMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Mr. Chairman, I'd like to
make a motion we pass a resolution approving a proposed special act to
amend Chapter 89-449, laws of Florida.
COMMISSIONER MAC'KIE: Second.
COMMISSIONER HANCOCK: Well done.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second. All
those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?

RESOLUTION 96-571 APPOINTING LOUIS J. TRAINA TO THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC
ADVISORS - ADOPTED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: The next one won't be quite so
simple.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: We actually have a choice.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a choice to make.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Imagine that.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: There's one -- I believe one
vacancy; is that correct, Miss Filson?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Yes, it's a -- it's a --
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: What --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: -- remainder of a term.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: What category was Miss Huff on
the Council of Economic Advisors in?
MS. FILSON: Investment advisor.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Thank you.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: I would note that the Council of
Economic Advisors has recommended the appointment of Lou Traina, and
it seems to me as long as this group -- God bless them -- has been
working together, they're going to know better than we what the needs
are.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Is that a motion?
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: That's a motion for Lou Traina.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: God bless them, I'll second
that.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: God bless them. I thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second to
appoint Louis J. Traina to fill the vacant term. All those in favor
signify by saying aye.

COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: This is ratifying the action
we requested three weeks ago?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Do we have any public speakers?
MR. DORRILL: No, sir.
MS. HcEACHERN: Good morning. I'm Shirley Jean
HcEachern for the record, assistant county attorney, and with me is
William Bolgar. I'm here on behalf of Linda Sullivan and Vince
Cautero, who could not be here today. The item is the ordinance
amendment or Code Enforcement Ordinance. If you recall, I think it
was November 5 that the board directed staff to prepare this ordinance
amendment in order to provide for an additional Code Enforcement Board
and also to provide for two alternate members for each board. And in
order to do that, we also took the opportunity in providing for a
holdover term in the event we have -- we have a -- a present -- a
pending case and any of the members' terms is about to expire, then
they can hold over until final conclusion for that particular
hearing.
We've also updated the fines to reflect the changes in
Chapter 162, which is the enabling statute governing our Code
Enforcement Board Ordinance. And -- and what -- we've also lengthened
the time for the life of the lien to 20 years from the 5 years, which
is also another reflection of what is in the statute.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Other than the updating in
accordance with Florida statutes, does this vary in any way with what
the board requested four weeks ago? MS. HcEACHERN: No.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: What -- what current backlog
exists for code enforcement?
MR. BOLGAR: Currently, we have approximately a 22-case
backlog, which would be about an eight- or ten-month delay in getting
these cases to the board with a single board.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Move approval.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: What is your name, sir?
MR. BOLGAR: Bill Bolgar from code enforcement.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Thank you.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: What I'd like to ask is we're
looking at a 12 to 14 thousand dollar potential fiscal impact for the
creation of a second board plus, you know, pulling the community
resources, which is not always easy for these types of well-paid
positions, zero, that is. So what I'd like to see is a very tentative
approach. We do it for one year and bring this back 12 months from
now. If we can get the backlog resolved and save 12 or 14 thousand
dollars next year, I'd like to see us do that.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I have no objection to that
at all.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Okay. I'm going to move
approval.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: I already did, but I --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Close the public hearing.
COHHISSIONER HAC'KIE: There you go.
COHHISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I'll move approval on the
item.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Second with Commissioner
Hancock's one-year --
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yes.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: -- relook.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: We have a motion and a second, then.
All those in favor signify by saying aye.
Opposed?
(No response)
Item #14A
BOARD OF COUNTY COHMISSIONERS COHMUNICATIONS - LELY STORMWATER ISSUE
DISCUSSED
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Berry, do you have
anything further today?
COHMISSIONER BERRY: Not a thing.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Hancock?
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Quickly. We -- the discussion on
the Lely stormwater issue, I thought I might want to bring you up to
speed on a meeting I had with Clarence Tears of the South Florida
Water Management District. It's been a concern of mine for a while
that we have adequate public facilities or an APF ordinance that talks
about before you can build, you have to have the capacity available
for roads, water, sewer, and so forth. There is no APF application
for stormwater management.
We have certain outfalls throughout the county that have
a known capacity of flow at a 25-year storm event; yet we never check
if capacity exists. I'll give you an example: Cocohatchee Canal.
Three weirs have been put up obviously changing the capacity of that
canal. When someone comes in for a permit, South Florida looks at the
project itself, looks at its outfall, but doesn't make a downstream
calculation of whether or not they have capacity to handle that
stormwater.
So what I've asked Mr. Tears to do is to work with me on
creating, if you will, a report format that every time a project comes
in that is to be permitted by South Florida Water Management District,
we at least understand the capacity of the conveyance system
downstream to handle that water in a 25-year storm event and get a
report on that before we approve zoning that can be -- you know -- or,
you know, just so that we have that information. Obviously, if we
have a -- a capacity problem, we don't want to go approving a
development that is going to feed into that.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: But currently if we were -- I
mean, I think this is a good idea, but the current status is if we
were to approve zoning, they can't pull permit, then, unless South
Florida approves --
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Correct. But they're not
checking. South Florida does not have a procedure by which they say,
well, downstream capacity is insufficient in Cocohatchee Canal for
this project.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: They only check the -- whether or
not it flows off the site.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Right. Now, if there's an
obvious problem like there is not a sufficient discharge system that
-- I mean, in other words, it's either obvious or it's not. I'm
having those discussions with Mr. Tears now, and they're very
preliminary. I have a lot to learn in this area, but it just concerns
me that we aren't looking at the capacity of our stormwater management
system when new development comes on line. We've got to do a better
job with that. So I'm at least having those discussions. I wanted
you to know because of the -- the Lely discussion we had this morning.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Hac'Kie?
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Nothing.
Item #14B
BCC COHMUNICATIONS - FAREWELL TO TOM CONRECODE
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Commissioner Constantine?
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Just an item. Today is Tom
Conrecode's last day with us, and I want to say thank you very much
for a job well done. I think it needs to be pointed out that we have
-- I think the number is still 98 percent of our projects are done on
time and on budget or early and under budget, and you play no small
part in that, and I certainly wish you the very best in your new
endeavor.
MR. CONRECODE: Thank you.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: Ditto.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Good luck.
MR. CONRECODE: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Dorrill?
MR. DORRILL: Just -- just one item in -- in addition to
the thanks for -- for Mr. Conrecode, again. We welcome Ray Miller,
who we were able to obtain just to make Mr. Ochs feel better about his
increasing amount of white hair. You all notice that Mr. Miller has a
little more white hair than Mr. Ochs.
Item #15
STAFF'S COHMUNICATIONS RE CLEVELAND CLINIC PUBLIC HEARING
And the other issue, Mr. Chairman, was there is an -- an
important hearing that will be held tomorrow concerning the
certificate of need and public necessity for the Cleveland Clinic. I
want to encourage the board members to be aware of that. It has some
important ramifications. I also didn't know whether it would behoove
us to either have staff present for the obvious implications, and if
so, whether there's any interest on the part of the board in
expressing some position.
For purposes of the record, you'll recall we asked them
to come here in order to have a local hearing for purposes of
establishing their record and then receive testimony. I didn't know
whether you wanted to give us some direction in that regard or not.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. That's a -- that's a good idea
maybe to -- to have a board-directed statement tomorrow. I -- I sort
of was instrumental in setting this meeting up for tomorrow and intend
to give a brief comment during the -- the public hearing. So if the
board desires me to convey a message at that point directly from the
board, I'd be glad to do so.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Mr. Chairman, I have one dominant
thought on this subject, and whether it's -- it's, obviously, you
know, Cleveland Clinic or Columbia or ABC Hospital that comes to
Collier County, if and when they come, my concern is that if they come
in and take the insurance-paying customer without providing indigent
care, many of these facilities will refer to themselves as a clinic
instead of a hospital thereby getting around the Hedicare-Hedicaid
reimbursement indigent care responsibility.
If they're going to take the cream of the crop for local
business, they should -- they should burden themselves with a fair
share of indigent care. And unless that's addressed in the
application, I think what we're doing is we are placing an unfair
burden on the existing provider in the long term. We don't want to go
protecting anyone. I just ask that when they come in, they look at
the total package, not just the insurance-paying or well-to-do.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I guess part of your point at
the beginning is we -- we need to be careful regardless of who it is.
I think as we continue to grow, it's a fair bet that whether it's now
or at some point in the future, there is going to be an additional
provider in our community. As we get bigger and bigger, there will --
there will have to be someone. The question comes down to, do you
want a for-profit hospital with the obvious implications, or do you
want someone, in this case the Cleveland Clinic, with a good
reputation? Each place they have gone, they've met the hurdle that
you've just said.
And I know in their discussions here they've talked
about contributing to the Help the Kids Program and doing the indigent
care-type thing. I think that's a very fair request. I think they --
they are meeting that request, and I think we need to be careful that
anyone that comes in, whether this goes forward now or whether it's
two years down the road or four years down the road, meets that
hurdle, because particularly some of the private for-profits simply
don't do that.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Can I also ask if it's -- there's
an obvious situation. We have buses and vans picking up people and
taking them to the Cleveland Clinic on the East Coast every day in
this county. I'm not aware of any bus that picks up people and takes
them to a Columbia facility or any other facility, for that fact. So
I think there is a distinction here in the applications that we have a
-- a provider that is a hundred miles away that is being used by our
residents already, and that -- that that distinction is enough for me
to say we believe that at least Cleveland Clinic already has a
presence in our community.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: I -- I'm comfortable --
particularly considering your comments, I'm comfortable, Commissioner
Norris, conveying some level of support from this board.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: As long as it's conveyed with the
comments about indigent care.
COHMISSIONER CONSTANTINE: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: And that -- that was going to be the
general thrust of my comments in any case; so I'll just relay those as
official --
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: -- comments of the board.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: Is that hearing going to be
broadcast tomorrow?
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: I don't know if it -- do you know that
-- if that will be on 54?
MR. DORRILL: That's a good point. If it's not, we'll
make arrangements to have it --
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: The lady behind the camera, Miss
Arnold, is saying she hasn't been scheduled for it. So if --
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Now she has.
MR. DORRILL: We'll work on that and see whether or not
we can arrange that. My preference would be on Channel 10, but we'll
-- we'll need to explore that with --
COHMISSIONER BERRY: Because I really think that's
important for people to meet and let -- let our legal media know that
this is going to happen, because I do think that people are interested
and possibly can't get down there.
COHMISSIONER HANCOCK: Even if we can do a tape delay on
54.
COHMISSIONER BERRY: Yep. Something.
COHMISSIONER HAC'KIE: That is planned.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Mr. Weigel?
MR. WEIGEL: Yes, thanks. County attorney and his staff
certainly have enjoyed working with Hr. Conrecode and wish him well,
reserving the right to give him a call or two as necessary, and our
hello and greeting to Mr. Miller. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN NORRIS: Okay. Well, with that we are
adjourned.
