(David Dunnavant arrived at 3:20 PM)
Re: CityView
. The Portal became operational at the end of December
. Phase II1- for Building Permits and Contractor's Licensing - Marchi April
A question was asked regarding Permit Cards for remodeling projects. The concern is
over the number of inspections listed on the card. Six are listed, but may not be
required for each project. Each inspection is a cost to the contractors. Can the system
be revised?
Mr. French will review the process with Staff and will report back to DSAC at the
next meeting.
Re: Building Manager search
. Interviewing two or three good candidates
Mr. French stated the Land Development side is under review with a goal of
streamlining the number of plan sets to be submitted and for insubstantial changes to
be handled at the front counter.
(Ray Allain arrived at 3:35 PM)
VI. Old Business:
A. Water-Sewer Impact Fees - Tom Wides. Director, Operations Support, and
Robert Ori, Public Resources Management Group, Inc. - Consultant
Proposed Impact Fees:
. Water - $ 3,290
. Wastewater - $3,245
Emergency Generator Rehab (Line 8):
. $2.3M (project cost) with a credit back of $1.1 M
o $483,242 - allocated to Impact Fees
. The system is being upgraded to enhance performance. Design changes have
been made to allow two generators to run, with two reserved as back up, as
opposed to running four at the same time.
. Sand filters were added as a new component to improve use of the water
membranes.
Mr. Wides stated the water membranes are capitalized items and have a life
expectancy of five to eight years. There is a credit of $806,519 for the original
installed cost.
Security upgrades (Line 21):
. Pam Libby stated the cost is to provide security at the remote stations and at
the well field
. The EP A has upgraded regulations for the source of the water to be supplied
3
January 5, 20 II
Water Lightning Protection (Line 23):
. For the well field and the remote stations
. Pam Libby stated both the EP A and Homeland Security have "ramped up" their
regulations.
Projected Costs -
Credits to Users-
Adjusted Balance -
$23,847,906 (for line items)
$12,011,279
$11,836,627
Existing Customers (59%) - $7,043,167
Impact Fee Allocations - $4,793,460
There is a total of $1 05M for Capital Improvement Projects.
Q. Will the revised projected growth levels tap out the current capacity in ten years?
A. (Jam Wides) It could be between 10 to 20 years.
Q. Some projects have development rights but have not been built. Is this based on what
has been built or permitted?
A. (Tom Wides) It is based on estimated population growth (by the University of
Florida). The AUlR ("Annual Update and Inventory Report ") goes out to 2039
and shows the production levels, capacity, and targets. In 2027, a water plant may
be built to service the northeast.
Q. Are the security increases funded mandates from the Federal government?
A. (Pam Libby) On the water side, a vulnerability assessment was completed with a list
of projects to be completed with 10 to 20 years. The vulnerability assessment was
accepted by the Federal government.
(Jom Wides) The level of security upgrades required by the Federal government for
portable water are more stringent than are required for waste water. The Federal
government is not paying for these upgrades.
An extensive discussion ensued concerning which expenses were specifically growth-
related, expansion of service, excess capacity, debt service ($67+M), allocation of
payments for debt service to existing customers/new users, calculation of fees, and
anticipated growth.
It was suggested that, due to the level of debt service and reduced growth, only those
projects that are absolutely necessary should be completed. By maintaining excessive
costs, growth is discouraged.
Tom Wides stated the proposed reduction to Impact Fees is 7.6%.
Reagan Henry moved to accept the Water and Wastewater Impact Fees as presented
and to forward the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. Second
by Blair Foley.
4
January 5, 2011
James Boughton stated the maintenance items were too high and recommended a
bigger reduction in Impact Fees offset by an increase in user fees.
Blair Foley stated the split appeared to be reasonable and a reduction has been
presented.
David Dunnavant stated there was a concern the reduction was not significant
enough.
George Hermanson stated the numbers were pretty much in line and that water and
sewer services were totally essential.
Dalas Disney recused himself from voting due to conflict of interest.
The Motion carried, 10 - "Yes "/3 - "Opposed"/I- "Absention." Reed Jarvi, James
Boughton and Ray Allain were opposed. Dalas Disney abstained.

Alternatives Analysis should be ready for discussion by late February 2011.
For background information on the plans see: htlp:llwww.colliergov.neUlndex.aspx?page=2297
