THI M&-TVKR OJ' iMPACT FKES - REQUKST DKI~KD; STAFF DIRECTED TO KXPKDITK
~ TO ORDTI[AHCE
Mr. Charles Smith, Vice President, Immokalee Habitat for Humanity,
advised that he is petitioning the Board with regard to the impact
fees levied on the homes that are being built for the working poor.
Mr. Smith explained that the cost of these homes is $42,000 and
are mortgaged to families for 20 years at no interest. He reported
that the homeowner pays approximately $230 per month, including
insurance, tam:es and garbage collection. He indicated that these
families are clearly within the guidelines for impact fee waivers. He
stated that families with four members must earn no more than $14,400
per year to qualify for a house.
Mr. Smith remarked that in the past, the County has authorized
Habitat for Humanity to apply for the reimbursement of impact fees
which have been paid. He related that except for the $1,800 school
Impact fee, ordinances have been amended to allow impact fees to be
at the time the permit is pulled, however, the new amendments do not
become effective until October 1, 1993.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney Cuyler
related that the Board has codified its policy in terms of the impact
fee ordinances and waiver provisions therein. He noted that the
Commission could make a policy decision to waive those fees, indi-
cating that it is for the general good and is in the best interest of
the County, as a whole to support affordable housing. He remarked
that his only concern is that there is no criteria for these types of
case-by-case situations.
Greg Mihalic, Affordable Housing Director, announced that waivers
and reimbursement on the seven properties total $34,226.64. He indi-
cated that he supports Habitat's efforts to expand into the urban
area.
Commissioner Volpe recalled that to date, the county has committed
Page 5
June 15, 1993
to $730,000 in waivers reimbursement of impact fees relating to affor-
dable housing. He noted that the anticipated SHIP funds have been
temporarily delayed and questioned where the requested fees for
waivers would come from. Mr. Mihalic recommended that the M.S.T.U.
General Fund 111 be utilized.
Commissioner Matthews remarked that she supports what Habitat is
doing, but suggested they bear with the County until the problems have
been resolved and then seek the waiver.
Mr. Smith said the requested funds are needed prior to October 1,
1993. He explained that during the first week of October, Habitat
will be applying for 10-15 building permits.
Commissioner Constantine stated that he understands that SHIP
funds will not repay for things that are already committed to. Mr.
Mlhalic affirmed that Commissioner Constantine's understanding is
correct. He noted that he cannot guarantee that the State will allow
the County to reimburse itself from the SHIP money. He indicated that
many of the SHIP rules have changed.
Commissioner Volpe suggested that because of the uncertainty of
the SHIP program tha~ Habitat indulge the County for approximately 6
more weeks which would allow the ordinances to be in place tn addition
to the program being approved.

Mr. Robert Nadeau, representing the Jaycees Foundation of Naples,
Inc., petitioned the Board in response to a zoning violation. He
reported that there have been unfortunate circumstances, through some
of the people using the Jaycees Community Center. He requested direc-
Page 6
June 15, 1993
tion from the Co.mission with regard to resolving this problem.
Code Enforcement Director Clark reported that staff became aware
of the situation due to a shooting Incident, and several noise
complaints. He Indicated that after a review of the Jaycees docu-
ments relative to the authority and conditions for the use of the
building, it was learned that a PUD was granted tn 1975 for the exclu-
sive use of the Jaycees and the occasional use of the Naples Jaycees
sponsored Boy Scout Troop.
Mr. Clark advised that this facility is being utilized aa a com-
mercial hall, and this ts not approved tn the primarily residential
neighborhood and thus, the problems that are being caused would be
removed by enforcing what was allowed in the first place.
The fo/lowing persons spoke with regard to this Item:
William Ferguson
01ann Herriman
Virginia Best
Leroy Huenefeld
Don Beach
Mr. Clark advised that there was a Stipulated Agreement to the
conditions Indicating that "... it is intended for the zoning
requested PUD to make this building and Its related land compatible
and acceptable to the area." He revealed that the Agreement further
orates: "... The Ja¥cees clubhouse will be used to house the opera-
tions of the organization. It will include general membership
meetings, special meetings, the majority of which are held on an
average of eight evenings per month; socials will be held on occasion,
averaging one evening per month and one Saturday or Sunday per month.
Occasional use also be used by the Naples Jaycees sponsored Boy Scout
Troop. Accessory use shall include occasional outdoor barbequtng;
asphalt play court indicated in the development plan will be used for
recreational activities, I.e. volleyball and tennis."
Commissioner Norris stated it appears if the stipulations to the
Agreement are adhered to, the problems would be solved.
Mr. Nadeau stated that he has been with the Naples Ja¥cees since
1980, noting that he started the Jaycees Foundation to do good things
Page
June 15, 1993
for the community and advised that he never saw the Stipulated
Agreement until it was presented as attached to the regulations. He
reported that the building has been rented, since its inception in
1985 and the usage has grown with the community in the Estates.
In answer to Commissioner Norris, County Attorney Cuyler remarked
that there is a violation and believes Mr. Clark will present same to
the Code Enforcement Board to have the violation cured.
Commissioner Saunders stated that he ts sympathetic to the Jaycees
situation, but pointed out that the excerpt from the PUD document pro-
v/dee that the uses will include "general membership and special
meetings .... and socials on occasion, averaging one evening per
month .... " He indicated that there is no ambiguity in the language
that this organization is limited to Jaycees functions only and not
functions for organizations renting space from the Jaycees. He
advised that the only way to solve this problem, is through an amend-
ment to the PUD document, which requires a public hearing.
Commissioner Saunders noted that programs planned for the summer
include a day camp for disadvantaged or disabled minors. He related
that he does not believe people would object to this program, however,
functions that are scheduled for the sole purpose of raising money,
are not for the benefit of the community.
Commissioner Constantine remarked that he does not oppose to
al/owing a summer camp for disadvantaged children.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the PUD states that this type
of activity is not allowed. He cited that in his view, it is
inappropriate to create some type of waiver for these activities.
Commissioner Saunders remarked that staff has issued a notice to
cease and desist and a notice of violation. He advised unless there
is a motion to alter same, staff will proceed to ensure enforcement as
interpreted by staff at the present time and this means the f~nctions,
am outlined, with the possible exception of the day camp are likely
not to be permitted.

WITHIN 30 D~YS
Mr. Jack Sptess, General Manager of WNPL requested a building per-
mit extension for a proposed tower. He indicated that negotiations
have recently taken place with regard to the sale of the television
station or the buying out of the majority stockholder.
Community Development Services Administrator Brutt stated that the
second Provisional Use request in June, 1992, was refused, however,
the applicant pulled a building permit prior to the time the con-
ditlonal use expired and the applicant was within the parameters of
the ex~st~ng code. He indicated that the s~x month building permit
was ~enewed twice by the building offic~al, as pe~ the Code. He noted
~hat ~he o~g~nal bu~ldfng permit was fssued on June 18 and the permit
extends through June ~7, ~993, and the applicant ~s within the t~me
f~e to re.est an extension of the.pe~mit.
M~. B~utt affirmed that staff has no object,on to the extension
of the permit.
Co~lss~one~ Volpe quesl]oned whethe~ Mr. Da~lln~ ~eques~ed an
extension w~thtn the past six months. Mr. Brutt recalled that there
was a re.est by staff for add~ional ]nfommat~on from M~. Darling
prOOF ~o J~e 16, 1992, however, the Information was not p~ov~ded and
~he Board of County Co~iss~onems den~ed the future extension of the
Conditional Use. He pointed out that Mr. Darling pulled the buildinG
permit before the Conditional Use expired.
Co~fsslone~ Matthews questioned the location of the p~oposed

tely two miles f~om Omange~ree on 011 Well Grade Road.

MP0 Coordinator Perry related that this ts a formal request for
budget a~endment with regard to the Metropolitan Planning
Organization's grant year program. He pointed out that some of the
state and county funded programs are being moved into programs that
are federally funded, noting that this saves the county tax dollars
since s local hatch is required for the bicycle program.
Mr. Perry called attention to manor changes in the Executive
Summary. He indicated that there have been reductions in the expen-
ditures, however, the Executive Summary reflects the old amounts. He
noted that Page ! indicates that the proposed budget is 12.8~ over
last year, and this should be changed to 10.9~. He revealed that the
fiscal impact on Page 2, should be changed to reflect a total budget
in the amount of $233,100 in lieu of the 8287,100 figure as shown. He
noted that the local match should be changed from $17,694 to

County Attorney Cuyler commented this Item pertains to discussion
of an Interim policy. He stressed his concern with establishing
interim policies unless the Board ultimately reaches the point that
there Is a sufficient health, safety and welfare consideration.
Commissioner Saunders clarified that the County Attorney ts not
recommending the Board establish an Interim po/Icy; rather that the
ordinance itself be amended through the regular public hearing
oo, OOO,, 18'
Page 10
June 15, 1993
process, if that is the Board's decision.
County Attorney Cuyler agreed, unless there is a crisis or a very
serious emergency situation.
John MadaJewski, Project Review Services Manager, recalled when
this item was originally put forth to the Board based on the public
petition requested by the Sterling Oaks group, the evaluation team
provided an Executive Summary containing specific criteria dealing
with hardships and health, safety and welfare issues. He said several
meetings have been held with Staff and a large contingent from the
development community Who are desirous of seeing this proposal move
forward. He indicated Staff is of the opinion that this is not an
engineering type function, and properties can be properly designed to
drain, to be graded and be stabilized in order to prevent erosion from
wind or water. He noted there ts also a concern on the part of Code
Enforcement Staff related to long-term enforcement.
Mr. MadaJewski referred to paragraph 5 of the Executive Summary,
which he stated sets out the basis from the requests received, dealing
with single family or two-family lots which are properties outside the
site development ordinance review and approval process. He said it is
Staffts feeling if the Board is in support of the final, hard language
in this document, the process can be effectively administered.
Commissioner Constantine inquired what are the perceived problems
with the existing ordinance, other than water management?
Mr. MadaJewski replied it will be much more prudent from a busi-
ness sense to be able to permanently place material which necessarily
must be moved when constructing a lake.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. MadaJewskt agreed
there is always the risk of a property changing hands. He pointed out
that page 5, paragraph H, contains a safeguard by requiring a bond in
the event land is cleared and abandoned. He said in that way, the
funds are available to complete and stabilize the fi/ling to a safe
standpoint.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if there any pressing reasons for
Page
June 15, 1993
establishing an interim policy rather than going through the normal
Land Development Code (LDC) amendment process?
Mr. MadaJewski indicated Staff is aware of examples of properties
that need to be cleared and filled based on the construction of the
infrastructure. He said those properties will either become
landlocked, holding water and may become mosquito traps causing a
detriment.
The following people spoke regarding this item:
Mark Minor Patrick Neale
Chris Straton Christine Ramsay
Dorothy Fitch Don Pickworth
Mr. MadaJewski reported Staff has been very diligent in attempting
to put together this interim po/icy. He concluded it is Staff's
tion this i8 a broad based issue and the development community should
submit the proposal to the Board and pay the $1400 fee.
Co~miesioner Constantine indicated he is not certain he to in
favor of the interim policy, however, he is very uncomfortable with
the situation as described by Patrick Neale, with the properties on
Marco Island.
Co~missioner Matthews referred to comments made that by appointing
an agent to act on their behalf, those property owners can act as a
group to request an extension of the Army Corps of Engineers' permit.
Commissioner Norris stated he ts not in support of either the
Interim policy or amending the ordinance to allow filling and clearing
prior to issuance of a building permit. He added, however, the pro-
perty owners on Marco Island have a special case that needs to be
treated individually, because they are about to lose the value of
their properties.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Attorney Neale stated Deltona
does not have the formal permission of the other 26 property owners to
represent them. Ne said the initial plan was that Deltona would
undertake to fill the properties on their own if permitted.
Commissioner Saunders pointed out Attorney Neale's client has
until the end of September to have substantial compliance with the
Page 12
June 15, 1993
Corps fill permit. He suggested the Board should see the terms of
that permit tn order to see the likelihood of it being extended. He
said there is sufficient time for that evaluation if Attorney Neale
will provide the Board with information concerning his legal problem.
He also suggested the Settlement Agreement with Deltona be looked at
to see if there ts any reason to distinguish these properties from any
others.
Commissioner Volpe noted those property owners have time to
exhaust any administrative remedies that may exist.
Attorney Neale indicated he ts more than willing to provide legal
and factual back-up to the Board with regard to distinguishing this
area from other areas tn the County.
Commissioner Saunders suggested that Attorney Neale provide the
information requested and return to the Board as a public petition as
soon as possible after the Board's recess in July.

Russell Shreeve, Housing Program Analyst, explained as a result of
Hurricane Andrew, Collier County has received $250,000 In Community
Development Block Grants to provide assistance to people who incurred
damage because of the storm. He recalled on October 6, 1992, the
Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the
Countyt8 Department of Housing and Urban Improvement to prepare
contracts and other documents necessary for the administration of the
grant. He said after notifying businesses In the southern part of the
County, only one business has requested and is qualified to receive
assistance from the grant. He reported Staff has worked with the
County Attorney's Office to make a loan to Goodland Bay Marina in an
amount not to exceed $110,397.31. He Indicated this, coupled with
their insurance settlement of $91,602.69, will give them a total
21
Page 13
June 15, 1993
a~ount of $202,000. He noted the loan will be made with federal funds
the County will receive through the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA), and disbursement will not be made until the County receives
those funds. He said repayment will begin in six months and take
place over the next 19 years at an interest rate of 4 percent. He
communicated repayment will provide approximately $158,000 to Collier
County to be lent to other businesses to create or retain Jobs for
lower income families.
Co~missioner Norris inquired if this is the marina that has been
'brought before the Code Enforcement Board because of code violations?
Dick Clark, Code Enforcement Director, replied in the affirmative.
He said Good/and Bay Marina was cited before the Code Enforcement
Board on May 2?th for five violations to their Site Development Plan;
specifically, elimination of their required water retention areas,
addition of restaurant seats and dry dock boat slips without
authority, reduction tn required parking spaces and construction or
alteration on site without the required building permits. He said the
~arina was given until July 19th to bring these violations into
compliance or be fined $250 per day for every day thereafter each
violation continues to exist. He concluded the violations have not
been removed to date.
Comm~ssioner Norris asked if any progress has been made towards
eliminating the violations?
Mr. Clark responded virtually no corrections have been made,
a/though permits have been obtained.
Comm~ssioner Norris questioned if these are considered minor or
smJor violations?
Mr. Clark reported they are fairly substantial. In fact, he said,
some of the violations Impact neighboring condominiums, which ts where
the complaints originated.
Commissioner Matthews pointed out a typographical error on the
first page of the Participating Parties Agreement, which Assistant
Page 14
June 15, 1993
County Attorney Heidi Ashton agreed to correct.
Co~mieeloner Hatthews also mentioned her concern with a provision
dealing with the cessation of operation of Goodland Bay Marina by the
current o~ners.
Assistant County Attorney Ashton stated the language can be
·mended to require full payment of the outstanding loan at the time of
closing.
Co,missioner Norris communicated his opinion that this transaction
does not seem proper and should not be finalized until after the code
violations hav~ been corrected.
Commissioner Matthews questioned whether the v/o/at/one existed
prior to Hurricane Andrew, to which Mr. Clark responded in the
affirmative.
Mr. Shreeve indicated he was not aware of the code violations. He
said the owners have spent all their available funds to continue their
operation through the winter months. He suggested that he meet with
them to est up a time schedule whereby the first money from the loan
will be applied to those areas needing to come into compliance.
Commissioner Norris stated he is not willing to loan money to
remove code violations that were not caused by the hurricane.
Commissioner Constantine suggested the owners be given the oppor-
tunity to bring the property into compliance.
Commissioner Volpe agreed, recalling that the Code Enforcement
Board has ordered that the violations be removed by July 19th.

the other resolution deals with "No Fishing from Bridge" zones. He
pointed out that there is a problem with the issue dealing with "No

the state to local municipalities and as a result the resolution that
has been prepared cannot be used. Be noted the creation of an ordi-
nanc~ would give the Board the authority to act upon this and advised
that Staff would prepare an ordinance and bring it back before the

FUF. PO~E OF EECAVATING A TWE3FTY ACR~ LAKE FOR TH~ GOLDEN ~AT~ CO~UNITY
PARE ON I~OEALEE ROAD - APPROVED
Public Services Administrator Olliff disclosed that this is a
request for some preliminary work for the 56 acre site located on
Immokalee Road. He remarked that the Board decided to build a 20 acre
park adjacent to Big Cypress Elementary School and the remainder of
the property iD to be considered for more passive activities. He
suggested the following Staff recommendations: the performance of
some test borings to determine the depth of f/l/ material available
for excavation along with the best location for the lake, and direc-
tion to competitively solicit for a lease to excavate the lake by a
private party. He added that if these recommendations are approved
the cost are estimated to be between $36,000.00 and $40,000.00 for
site planning and boring and the funds are proposed to come from
regional park impact fees. He revealed that the revenues are esti-
mated to be $80,000.00.
Commiselou~r Norrl· moved, leconded by Commissioner Constantine to
mppr~vm ~ reco~mendation to pro'eld with preliminary lite pl~ing
through test borings and proce·s · request for proposals for & lease
for tho purpose of excavating a 20 acre lake.
T&pe~3
Commissioner Constantine contended that since the lake was
planned for and considering the estimated revenue, the county would be
paid to excavate something it had planned to.
Public Services Administrator Olllff confirmed that this is
correct.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Public Services Administrator
Olliff replied that there is some interest in a fill pit project.
Commissioner Volpe asked whether the firms interested would bear
the initial cost of the test borings?
Page 17
June 15, 1993
Mr. Olliff remarked that this is structured so that the lease
document can be prepared once Staff knows the results of the test
borings and the site of the lake can be determined.
Commissioner Volpe suggested that if there is an interested party,
he could pay for the initial test borings and incorporate the results
Into the design. Commissioner Volpe noted that if this becomes a com-
mercial excavation site it will require a conditional use permit and
revealed his concern on time constraints as to when this lease would
begin and end?
Commissioner Constantine mentioned that the Request for Proposal
would address the time constraints.
Commissioner Saunders commented that if the lease Is conditioned
on obtaining a conditional use from the Board, would it not be prudent
to go through that process prior to the expenditure of testing?
Mr. Olliff replied that Staff is trying to establish whether the
Idea has merit.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Olliff replied that with
the exception of 3 acres, the rest of the site is upland pine. He
said he anticipates no need for fill work on the property to create a
park.
In reply to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. 011iff revealed that the pre-
liminary design would be done by an outside firm.
County Manager Dorrlll disclosed that Law Engineering would most
likely be the firm to do the testing and preliminary site design.

Administrative Services Administrator Ochs requested a budget
amendment for the balance of the fiscal year. He explained that tn
the Fall of 1989, the Board voted to self-fund their Group Health
Page 18
June 1§, 1993
Insurance Program. Mr. Ochs noted that during the first three years
of the program, co,ts have been well within budget and annual premium
rate Increases have been well below the medical inflation rate,
however, during the later stages of fiscal year 1992 continuing Into
the first part of 1993 the c/aims activity and costs have increased
substantially. He said if these trends continue Staff ts projecting
costs will exceed budgeted amounts by approximately 1.9 million
dollars this fiscal year.
Mr. Ochs Indicated that Staff recommends a budget amendment that
would fund the deficit with a combination of unanticipated revenues,
projected savings, other operating expense Items In the medical
funds and medical reserve funds that are tn the medical budget.
Mr. Ochs revealed that Staff Is preparing a comprehensive plan of
various options for fiscal year 1993/94 for Implementation by the
Board.

Commissioner Matthews requested clarification on engineering fees
desi~nated on the Staff report.
Steve Rockey, EMS Supervisor, replied that the engineering fees
are identified for future work on a hanger to house the helicopter.
Be pointed out that the money is being disbursed to different areas
and ~ust be allocated by September 30, 1993 or matching funds must be
returned to the State with interest.
County Manager Dorrtll reported the Staff ts considering dif-
ferent options regarding the hanger and reiterated that this step
will keep the County eligible for half of the funding to come from the

Environmental Services Administrator Lorenz explained that this
item provides for the purchase of 10 acres in the landfill expansion
area to the north off the existing site, noting that the Board has pre-
vtousl¥ approved purchases for a total of 312 acres, at an average of
$4,000.00 per acre.
Co~uaisstoner Matthews noted that mitigation was mentioned in the
Staff Report and requested clarification.
Mr. Lorenz clarified that part of the total site will be used for
the actual landfill and approximate~y 1/3 of the site will be required
for mitigation due to the disturbance of wetlands.
The following people spoke on subject:
Ta~uat Rooster James D. Jenkins
Barbara Jenkins
In response to Ms. Rooster's comments, Commissioner Constantine
inquired as to where a person could review the County's future plans.
Mr. Lorenz commented that there is a public facilities map in the
Orowth Management Plan, but it is very general.
Couissioner Constantine asked Mr. Lorenz if he was familiar with
Section ?, which was suggested as an alternative.
Mr. Lorenz replied that Section 7 was approximately 10 mi/es away
from the existing landfill, that the acreage to the west was wetlands.
He said that acreage to the west generally sold at $20,000.00 per acre
rather than the northern acreage which sold at $4,000.00 per acre. He
concluded that there would be a Z0-1S~ incremental cost going that
additional distance away from the ex/sting landfill site.
Commissioner Constantine indicated that a cost analysis between
I,:"

the two sites would be beneficial.
Com~isstoner Volpe asked how many acres have been acquired within
Section 25.
Mr. Lorenz replied that 312 acres out of a potential 360 acres
have already been purchased.
Com~isstoner Volpe in~lred if land purchases could be delayed so
that a workshop meeting could be held. He also asked what d~etance
the l~dftll expanslon would be to any exlstlng residences. -

~ately 500 feet from one resldence.

John Boldt, Water Management Director, provided the Board with
recent actions taken in Riviera Golf Estates and outlined a proposed
action plan. He recalled that Staff was directed to establish a spe-
cial aasessmen'k district to enclose a portion of an open drain area,
to return with a schedule as to when short-term Improvements will be
undertaken and continue to evaluate appropriate engineering design for
the long term plan.
Mr. Boldt described the short-term plan and reported that most
items have been completed with the exception of the culvert under
Charlamagne Boulevard, noting that it is Staff's recommendation that
this Item should not be done at this time.

Commissioner Saunders commented that Staff gave its presentation
two weeks ago.
Mary Wetgold of the Collier County Productivity Committee, and
also representing the MIS Master Plan Committee, stated that in order
to create a open system computer environment several steps must be
taken; tn addition to the completion of the communications highway the
proper software application must be procured. She emphasized that the
Page 22
June l§, 1993
highest priority has been identified as the Community Development
Services Division, therefore, it is the Committees' recommendation
that the Board secure an independent technical advisor to determine
the proper software application, oversee vendor selection, installa-
tion and e~ployee training.
Ms. Weigold also informed the Board of the Committeesf recommen-
dation that the funding to complete the network be delayed until the
~oint committee has answers to all their questions, adding that this
may be possible by September of 1993.
Ms. Weigold stressed that these recommendations were not all
inclusive and truly represent only the initial phase of implemen-
Cotmty Manager Dorrlll indicated that he did not agree with the
Co~u~ittees~ recommendations since this project was in progress before
the inception of the MIS Committee. He reported that they were not
correctly sol/cited.
Finance D/rector Yonkosky noted that this request is for hardware,
adding that the software could still be selected. He explained that
this recommendation would give access to the data of various constitu-
tional officers. He stated that the Clerk and the other constitu-
tional officers in con]unction with Mr. Dorrill reviewed the Boards'
request to identify how the information can be accessed, noting that
this solution allows each user to define what type of software would
be needed.
Me. Weigold revealed that moving ahead with this item could limit
the ~stem to only one option.
Guy Carlton, Tax Collector, revealed that his department has spent
a great deal of time and money developing a communication system that
meets the requests to share information and the only department
missing is that of the Clerkfs. He stated he is recommending that the
Board approve this request.
Abe Skinner, Property Appraiser, disclosed that his department has
Page 23
June 15, 1993
made ths connection with that of the Clerk's, but the Clerk's depart-
ment still has the option of progra#ming in order to use the data pro-
vided rather than reviewing lt.
Frank Brutt, Community Development Services, thanked the
Committees' for recommending the Inclusion of a 820,000.00 stipend for
& consultant to advise Community DeVelopment of their data processing
needs.
Steve Jenner of the MIS Committee, confirmed that after review of
the situation there is no need to proceed immediately.
Mr. Yonkosk-y indicated that if there Is a cost effective way to
replace the fiber optic system he ts unaware of it, adding that he ts
simply requesting a way to link Information from one constitutional
officer to another. ~e expressed his desire to move ahead with the
hardware and let Uommuntty Development work with a consultant on the
development of a software package.
Commissioner Saunders declared that he appreciates all the time
and effort the two committees have spent on this issue, but because of
the committees' late Introduction, he feels he must support Staff's
recommendation.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Yonkosky replied that his
main concern is the ability to update all the non ad valorem tax rolls
electronically, therefore, if this Item ts delayed it would mean a
delay of & whole year's use in context with the tax rolls.
Mr. Dorrlll summarized the situation by explatnlng that in order
to connect the systems, a "server" must be purchased, and will assist
one system in conjunction with a software package, that still needs to
be developed to exchange information with another. He added that he
recouends approval for the automation of Development Services.

Robert Demarest, Library Director, outlined his request for recon-
sideration. He declared that the present level of service ts 1.05
books per capita and if a change were to be made tn the Growth
Management Plan, it would allow a change in rate in impact fees to
receive additional revenue. He said he ts askinG for approval to
increase the collection at 1.O5 books per capita to the state level of
1.5 books per capita over a 10 year period. He maintained that if
this increase is approved, every time the service level is changed,
the County will be required to provide the dollars for the books, but
then there will be two additional means of income to offset this;
noting that for every dollar spent .11-.12¢ ts returned from State Aid
to Libraries Grant and impact fees could also be increased.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Demarest disclosed
that for every Incremental increase approximately $20,0~0 would be
collected by the means of income mentioned.
He advised that to achieve his desired level of service
$200,000.00 would have to be spent a year, totaling $1,000,000.O0 in a
five year period.
Com~issioner Constantine argued ~hat even with the funds from
impact fees and state grants it would take 18 to 25 years to offset
the ~oney that would be needed to Increase the service level.
Sydney Mellinger of the Library Advisory Board, stated that it is
important to add this into the Growth Management Plan so that funds
from the state and impact fees may be collected for books that are
presently being purchased. She urged the Board to increase the ser-
vice level at this time.
Fred Tarrant spoke on the subject.
Commt~to~er ~rm moved to r&lme th~ level of ~rvtca to 1.1

by Collissioner Volpe,
Mr. Demarest reiterated that the library is currently at 1.05,
impact fees could be collected today based on that, he stated that if
$200,000.00 was allocated it would do two things: enable the purchase
of books for the new Golden Gate Estates branch library and allows
another increase in impact fees immediately.
Commissioner Constantine expressed his concern that if the
$200,000.00 is allocated today a year from now the same request will

Mr. Cuyler pointed out that there ts an audit requirement under
the guidelines for those persons involved in activities and promo-
tions and noted that this requirement is cost prohibitive.
Commissioner Volpe Inquired who will audit the books of those who
receive funds?
County Attorney Cuyler replied that no one from the county will
audit them, but since the county will be reimbursing them i.e. faci-
lity rental, they will give the county their documentation, and the
ccrunty will pay them for their costs. He added that Mr. Yonkosky is
comfortable that this ts sufficient to cover the audit requirement.
Com~isstoner Volpe suggested that the level of funding may require
a "pre-audit".
Mr. Cuyler remarked that he could put flexibility Into that provi-
sion.

Commissioner Constantine reported that last August, the Board of
County Commissioners requested a cost comparison prior to purchasing a
new vehicle, with regards to a car allowance versus buying a vehicle.
County Manager Dorrtl] provided a purchase history, lease option,
and a car allowance example.
Commissioner Constantine questioned the amount of mileage that
would be attributed to county business and whether depreciation should
be considered.
Commissioner Constantine remarked that he thought the intent of
this report was to consider whether a car allowance was a realistic
alternative to providing a vehicle from the county fleet.
County Manager Dorril] replied that he thought it would be on the
basis of comparison, adding that the current contract provision calls
for "unrestricted and unlimited personal use", and does not agree that
he should be reimbursed only for official business.
48
Page 29
June 15, 1993
Co,missioner Saunders commented that whatever is allotted per mile
would include depreciation.
Co-missioner Constantine asked County Manager Dorrill how he feels
a car allowance compares?
County Manager Dorrtll stated that according to the terms the
Board ts currently providing, the purchase of a vehicle is least
costly.
Co~mtesioner Constantine indicated his biggest concern is Section
5 of Mr. Dorriil's employment agreement, which states "that he will
be provided a vehicle from the County fleet". He provided the Board
with a list of Collier County Fleet Management purchases from 1990,
noting that Mr. Dorrill's vehicle is the most expensive vehicle
purchased to date.
Commissioner Constantine noted that there are many types of
vehicles to choose fro= within the County fleet and it is his opinion
that this is in line with what Mr. Dorrill's employment agreement eta-
tee.
Contssioner Volpe observed that there are two issues; whether the
BCC provides the Manager with a car a car allowance and whether the
vehicle that is purchas,~d is consistent with his contract.
Com~issloner Constantine stated that he feels the appropriateness
of The vehicle should b(? addressed first, so that a fair comparison
can be made. He indicated that he does not feel that $23,000.00 is in
line with his employment agreement so a comparison cannot be made.
Commissioner Volpe asked the amount budgeted for the vehicle.
County Manager Dorr]ll replied that his vehicle prior to this one
was the same type of vehicle. He said depreciation is averaged but
this particular vehicle was budgeted, as there was a separate
accounting of that. He indicated that he does not have a figure but
it was budgeted and scheduled to be replaced this year.
Conissioner Volpe disclosed that the relevancy of the question is
that under the wording of the employment contract, the county could
provide a Chevy Cavalier at $8,§00.00 or a Chevy Blazer at $16,000.00.
Page 30
June 15, 1993
He said he assumes that the compensation package includes a budgeted
amount.
County Manager Dorrill announced that there is no specific provi-
sion or type of vehicle to be purchased.
Commissioner Constantine reiterated that the wording according
to the employment agreement reads "from the county fleet", and after
reviewing the Collier County Fleet Management's list, he does not see
any Jeep Laredo's irt the current fleet.
County Manager Dorrtll confirmed that since there is a past and a
current value in the course of dealing, this contract implies a certain
taxable value. He concluded that his position is the value of this
contract included this type of vehicle in four different instances and
he would Imply that type of value in the future.
Commissioner Constantine argued that because "'that's the way it
has been" is why we do something, adding that If we have done
something wrong in the past, it should be corrected. He asked Mr.
Dorrtll where he would draw the line when you say "from the county
fleet"?
County Manager Dorrtll emphasized that In the course of dealing tn
this particular case, the county fleet owns and operates all types of
vehicles from ambulsnces to sedans and this vehicle Is owned by the
county and is part of the county fleet, adding he does differentiate
what is owned by the county fleet and what has been established as a
routine motor pool vehicle.
Co~tsstoner Conetantlne asked Mr. Dorrtll if he ts Involved In
the melectton process of the other vehicles tn the county fleet.
County Manager Dorrtll said he is not, but he was asked to pick
this vehicle by fleet management because historically the county
purchases vehtcles off the lot with whatever dealer has an annual
contract with the County and to his knowledge the County Manager has
never had a standard white type vehicle, therefore, he picked the
color.
Co~issioner Volpe announced that Mr. Dorrill either breeched his
Page 31
June 15, 1993
contract or did not, he remarked that he does not know how that
question can be resolved.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the only way to resolve this
iss~le for the long term and is to provide the County Manager with a
mileage allowance and /et him drive whatever he chooses, adding that
the I.R.S. recognizes .28¢ a mile for the cost to own, operate, insure
and maintain a vehicle. He said if the County Manager is a/located
.280 per mile, then he can maintain and insure his own vehicle and
this issue would not be brought up again.
A discussion was held regarding past car allowances.
Commissioner Volpe asked Mr. Dorrlll if he is "on call" 24 hours a
day, in terms of reimbursement.
County Manager Dorrtll replied that he is not, noting that there
are very few perks associated with his Job. He remarked that there
are Two perks in addition to salary; an unrestricted automobile and a
reserved parking space to put the automobile in.
Commissioner Saunders asked Mr. Dorrill what his salary is at
present.
County Manager Dorrill answered that hie salary is approximately
$94,000.00 per year plus 2~ for the retirement fund.
Commissioner Saunders suggested that the employment contract be
reviewed, noting that ,~hen the contract was executed, Section 4 of
the contract provided a salary of $63,072.00 plus 2~, and Section 5
dealt with the automobile. He suggested that at the time the contract
was executed at that salary the additional incentive for the Manager
in the form of a car allowance was required.
County Manager Dory'ill replied that he has no problem sitting down
and discussing his con1:ract, but his only concern is that any contract
negotiations should no*: be held at a public hearing.
Commissioner Saunders suggested that Commissioner Constantine,
County Attorney Cuyler and County Manager Dorrill discuss and review
the employment agreement, in particular Section 5, and see if any
Page 32
June ~5, 1993
itemm need to be revisited, and report back to the Board of 'County
Commissioners.
Comum~ssioner maunders added that most employment contracts are re-
negotiated every few years.
County Manager Dorrill requested that if an agreement cannot be
reached, he would like to meet with Commissioner Saunders prior to
bringing any revisions back before the Board.
Co~mimsioner Saunders replied that he is always available, as
are any of the other Commissioners.
County Manager Dorrlll stated that he typically deals with the
Chairman on contract matters, but would meet with Commissioner
Conat~ntine and County Attorney Cuyler initially.
Commissioner Volpe asked when the issue would be resolved.
Co~missioner Constantine agreed to bring h~s findings back to the
Board by June 29th, the last meeting before the summer recess.
Commissioner Saunders mentioned that Commissioner Matthews was
concerned about l~ability Insurance and gave Commissioner Constantine
a memo regarding that issue.

Commissioner Norris noted that the cost of the health insurance
issue is a major problem. He asked Administrative Services
Administrator Ochs ~o review the possibility and the feasibility of
leasing lower level employees with the intention of saving the county
money on health benefits.
Administrative Services Administrator Ochs reported that the
Boarda' costs for Social Security is 7.65~, the Boards' costs for the
Florida Retirement System is 17.75~, noting that these costs must be
pa~d in any event. He added that the concept of a leasing company is
typically applied to smaller organizations of less than 300 employees.
In response to Co~,lssioner Norris, Mr. Ochs indicated that an
Page 33

8-10~ turnover is typical for entry level employees.
Co,,~issloner Saunders suggested that Commissioner Norris and
Administrative Services Administrator Ochs research this issue
further.
(¢~g)
Commissioner Norris mentioned that a 90 day extension was granted
to s time-share solicitation company. He stated that the request was
granted because the Board was assured that there were no other com-
panies involved in that regard and that the petitioner was unaware of
the law.

County Attorney Cuyler presented a letter regarding the Point
Narco PUD amendment.
Co~missioner Volpe declared that this property should not be pri-

Commissioner Saunders stated that the property was to be deeded to
the Marco Island Civic Association, which is a private ownership, to
be used by the Marc,~ Island residents' Beach Association.
Co~missloner Saunders requested that County Attorney Cuyler pre-
sent the Board with a response in writing as to the validity of the
a/legations.

Commissioner Saunders noted that he received a fax from Lee County
Commissioner Ray Juda with a possible agenda for a Joint Lee/Collier
County meeting proposed for July 26, 2993 at 1:30 P.M.
A brief discussion was held regarding a meeting with the Bonita
