1. Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman Fiala called the Workshop to order at 9:00 am.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
2. Discussion regarding the Strategic Plan of Collier County
Jim Mudd, County Manager presented the document "Driving Collier County into
the Future - BCC Strategic Planning Workshop, May 13, 20099 a.m. " for review by
the Board.
He noted the document would be available on-line and provides the County Manager
and Staff direction for future short and long term planning goals.
He highlighted the approved County Motto - "Exceeding expectations, everyday!";
County Vision "We strive to be the best community in America to live, work, and
play"; and County Mission Statement "To deliver high quality, best-value, public
services, programs, and facilities to our residents and visitors.
The "Collier County 2008 Annual Report" was also included in the meeting packet.
He provided a detailed presentation of the Report and the following was noted:
Page 13 - Truly Strategic Issues 1-10+ Years to Fix
Discussion occurred with the increase in construction of health care and medical
facilities, the real problem exists in the lack of individuals not covered with health
insurance. Items discussed were:
. The feasibility of the County or other organizations establishing a
network of County or State private employers in obtaining a Group
Policy under the network. These businesses could be identified
through County licensing of Contractors.
. The Chamber of Commerce in the region has or did have a Group Plan
for private employers. Its status should possibly be investigated.
. With possible changes in the Federal Healthcare legislation, should
this be investigated after any proposed changes?
It was determined in the short term:
. The Issue to Fix - "Projected shortage of healthcare and medical
facilities and increasing costs" should be refocused to "The shortage
of health care insurance available to residents of the County and
concern over increasing costs" or similar language.
Page 15 - Truly Strategic Issues 1-10+ Years to Fix
Discussion occurred on "Lack of immigration reform and resulting financial impact"
noting:
· Possible elimination of SCAAP (State Criminal Alien Assistance
Program) Funds, which provide $1.2M +/- annually to Collier County
Correctional Facilities.
· A Collier County Sheriff's Office Program (Criminal Investigation
Task Force) has been extremely successful in transferring Illegal
2
May 13, 2009
Aliens that have been arrested or apprehended within the County to
State or Federal Authorities for processing.
. It is still estimated the crimes committed by Illegal Aliens cost Collier
County Taxpayers $90M annually.
Page 16 - Operational Issues 1-5 Years
Discussion occurred on the "Lack of clear definition of organizational success
(Operations Management Tracking System, Florida Benchmarking Consortium, Best
Practices) and on how the County and Staff are attempting to be more "self
correcting. "
The Board determined the Mission Statement should be amended to include the
verbiage "Self Correcting" or similar language.
Page 21 - Horizon Committee Status??? (Cont.)
"Fire District and EMS Coordination/Consolidation" was deleted from the list in
March 2008. It was noted the item is still not accomplished. The Board of County
Commissioners provided guidance to take to voters via referendum.
Page 25 - Fiscal Challenges... Where's the $$$
"Impact Fee revenue insufficient to meet capital improvement program debt service-
backfilled with General Fund loans. "
Discussion ensued on the status of the loans to Impact Fee and is principal and
interest due back to the General Fund.
Jim Mudd noted he would address the issue via a memo to the Board.
In conclusion the following was noted:
Commissioner Henning:
· Clarification from Staff on the origin (East Naples, Golden Gate, etc.)
of visitors (by percentage) to the Senior Friendship Facility in Collier
County.
· F or purposes of developing the 2010 budget, consideration should be
given to compare the proposed budget (with a tentative deficit of
$58M) with similar level budgets from previous years to determine the
level of services provided.
Chairman Fiala:
. Under tab 4 of the Report, the chart "Collier County Permanent
Population Estimates and Projections October Ft 2000 - 2019 should
be updated to more accurately reflect today's communities and a map
included which depicts the areas identified.
Commissioner Coletta:
. Clarification if the "Annual Survey" is included in the proposed
budget.
Jim Mudd stated it is included in the proposed budget.

May 13, 2009
· If budgets continue to become more constrained, Health and Safety
items should remain the top priority for County expenditures.
Commissioner Halas:
· After Health and Safety, maintenance of existing infrastructure should
be the next priority for County expenditures.
Commissioner Coyle:
· Staff should meet with community representatives to obtain input on
the proposed reductions in services for the County Library System to
ensure reductions attempt to co-exist with requested services.
Chairman Fiala noted past expenditures for capital projects have led to a substantial
improvement in the County's infrastructure and provision of services. As the County
moves forward during these economic times, the focus should shift from new capital
projects to maintaining the existing improvements.
