Item#a&l
CO~IDERATION OF A WAIVER OF PERMIT CONDITIONS FOR FLORIDA SPORTS PARK
EXCAVATION PERMIT NO. 59.224 - WAIVER GRANTED WITH STIPULATIONS
John Mada]ewski, Project Plan Review Manager, explained the
Florida Sports Park has never completed excavation activities as
required under their excavation permit. He said the owner claims a
hardship due to the rock encountered, noting the lake site is approxi-
mately 4.5 feet shallower than permitted. He concluded that Staff
does not recommend a waiver of permit conditions; however, should the
Board approve the waiver, three stipulations have been requested by
the Environmental Advisory Board.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Gene Vaccaro with the
Florida Sports Park, stated excavating the site to permit conditions
will require the expenditure of approximately $100,000.
Answering Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Vaccaro said the petitioner is
in total agreement with the suggested stipulations.
Commissioner Saunders agreed with Mr. MadaJewski that it is
inappropriate for the Board to grant waivers to certain permit con-
ditions unless there are extraordinary circumstances. He said because
of the use of the property, the protections insisted upon by Mr.
Mada~ewski and the hardship conditions with regard to the rock at the
lake site, he believes a waiver may be granted in this situation.
C~isltoner Saunders moved, that a waiver of perlit conditions
for Excmvation Permit No. 59.224 be granted with the stipulations con-
rained in the Executive
Commissioner Saunders called attention to Staff's first recom-
mended stipulation as listed in the Executive Summary. Ne said
discussion has occurred regarding some uses that may be permissible
without going back to the original permit conditions. Ne asked that
those uses be stated for the record and that Staff indicate what type
of zoning changes would require the property owner to go back to the
original lake configuration.
Page 5
November 17, 1992
Mr. Mada]ewskt recommended this be listed as a specific item in
the upcoming PUD amendment so that the waiver will run with the land
and the zoning. He said Staff's intention is that the flea market
issue be stated and put into the PUD Document.
Com~taaloner Saunders amended the motion to incorporate the above
co~enta.
Commissioner Matthews suggested a stipulation be added that the
waiver be contained in the PUD amendment.
Co~missionsr S&unders amended the motion, seconded by Commissioner
Matthew~, to include a stipulation that the waiver be contained in the
PUD m~end~ent and if it is not, the waiver will expire.
Co~saionar Saunders amended the motion, seconded by Commissioner
Matth~w~ and carried 4/1 (Commissioner Constantine opposed), that the
PUD amendment process must be completed within six months, and that
the property owner is required to bring the lake banks and the lit-
toral shelf plantings up to code.

PHASE I PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES
FOR SANTA BARBARA BOULEVARD SOUTH TO RATTLESNAKE-HAMMOCK ROAD; CIE NO.
032 - STAFF R~COMMXNDATIONS DENIED
Item #8B2 was discussed in conjunction with this item.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald provided the Board
with a handout depicting the relationships between the road projects
in East Naples. He referred to pro3ects involving Rattlesnake-Hammock
Road, County Barn Road, the extension of Santa Barbara Boulevard,
Davis Boulevard and the portion of C.R. 951 between Rattlesnake-
Hammock Road and U.S. 41. He said Item #8B! deals with the controver-
sial project of four-laning Santa Barbara Boulevard from Davis
Boulevard to Rattlesnake-Hammock Road.
A lengthy discussion took place regarding the various merits of
the subject pro3ect as well as the pro~ect to four-lane County Barn
Road described in Item #8B2.

The following person spoke regarding this item:
Fred Tarrant
Commissioner Saunders commented that past Boards of County
Commissioners have been criticized for not planning for the future.
He said Transportation Services Administrator Archibald's plan of
approach of doing the engineering work, determining alignments and the
type of design work being requested is a very wise way to plan for the
future.
Commissioner Constantine agreed with Commissioner Norris that
although Santa Barbara Boulevard may become a priority in the future,
he is not convinced there is a need to four-lane that roadway in this
time of economic hardship.
Commissioner Norris remarked the alignment of the roadway is the
main point of contention on this project because the County does not
know exactly where the Lely Resort will take shape. He said to spend
money on studying alignments at this point seems to be a bit prema-
ture.
Co~iuloner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Constantine,
to deny Staff's recouendatAons to execute a Consultant Engineering
Services Agreement with Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc. for Santa
Barbara Boulevard south to Rattlesnake-Hasuaock Road.
Commissioner Saunders asked ~f there are road segments in the
contract that can be deleted at this point in time or certain segments
critical to move ahead with this date?
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald recommended this
item be continued until the Board has the opportunity to review the
updated five and ten year road program. Ne advised he will be
bringing that program to the Board in the next few weeks, along with
an agenda item allocating all road impact fees by project.
Commissioner Volpe indicated he will support the motion if Staff
is also directed to return to the Board with an in-house preliminary
assessment of alternate alignments.

DISCUSSION REGARDING L~ SCHULZ'S DISCIPLINARY ACTION - BOARD
CONCURR~D TO RECOMMEND MR. SCHULZ APPF~L HIS TWO DAY SUSPENSION AND
RECOmmENDED THAT THE COUNTY MANAGER SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER THE
Commissioner Volpe noted that he has received inquiries concerning
the hiring of the new Veterans Services Officer at a higher salary
than what the previous employee was receiving and higher than the
salary indicated as posted by Human Resources, and whether this is
violative of the Board's $780 pay plan policy.
County Manager Dorrill expressed that it does not violate the
Board's adopted $780 pay plan and is a reinstatement/demotion for the
individual and a reduction ~n his former salary.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the new employee is being paid
$4,000 more than the salary of the previous employee for the same
position, and questioned if this a violation of the $780 pay plan
policy that all employees within the County Manager's office would be
limited to a pay increase of $780 this year.
County Manager Dorrill reviewed that the Board held a special
meeting on December 14, 1991, establishing basic policy relating to
the reduction in management positions. He read the following portion
of the motion:
"It is the stated goal of this procedure that lay-off of existing
employees will only be made as a last resort, with the
understanding that the Board recognizes the human side of any
reduction in force and the difficult decisions to be faced by the
County Manager."
Mr. Dorrill summarized that as a result of certain lay-offs, the
affected individuals were to receive priority reconsideration for
positions that became available and which they met minimum qualifica-
tions. He concluded that Mr. Luntz qualifies for the position and was
given priority reconsideration.
Mr. Dorrill pointed out the following policy within the Board's
adopted Personnel Rules and Regulations:
Page 9
November 17, 1992
For demotion reinstatement - the point at which an employee is
demoted on a reinstatement, the salary shall be at the control
point, and the control point being the maximum base salary allowed
tn the event that it is technically a demotion.
Commissioner Saunders questioned the suspension action against Lew
Schulz. County Manager Dorrill indicated that Mr. Schulz would not
sign the start form, the personnel action form for that position for
Mr. Luntz. Mr. Dorrill noted that Mr. Schulz was never coerced to
sign the form. Mr. Dorrill summarized that the actions of Mr. Schulz
violated the directive and the policy previously established by the
Board and he labelled it as insubordination, resulting in Mr. Schulz
receiving two days off without pay.
Commissioner Matthews inquired as to how Gounty employees were
notified of the policy change regarding eligibility of current
employees from six months to one year. County Manager Dorrill
explained that a general memorandum was sent to all division admi-
nistrators and department directors, and was not distributed to all
1,O00 employees.
Bud Kornse spoke to this item.
Commissioner Volpe verified that information as to the qualifica-
tions of the person selected by the County Manager to fill the Veterans
Services Officer position is available in the appropriate personnel
file which is available for inspection by Mr. Kornse and the public.
County Manager Dorrill advised the Board that Mr. Schulz has an
opportunity to request a review the appropriateness of the suspension
by initiating an appeal.
Gil Erlichman distributed a handout to the Board (copy not pro-
vided to the Clerk to the Board).
Gtl Erltchman and Ernest Grazlolt spoke to this Item.
County Manager Dorrlll specified that Mr. Schulz was not forced or
required to eign any affidavit.
Commissioner Saunders noted that the suspension was Mr. Dorrill's
decision and the Board cannot rescind this decision, but if the Board
had that power he would initiate a motion to that effect. He stated
Page 10
November 17, 1992
that the suspension of Lew Schulz is ill advised because the facts do
not Justify a two day suspension.
Commissioner Volpe concurred with Commissioner Saunders' comments.
Commissioner Saunders verified that should Lew Schulz seek an
appeal, it would be filed with the County Manager and Commissioner
Saunders volunteered to be a character witness for him.
The following people spoke to this item:
Joseph Smith Jack Pointer
Donald Tallon George Keller
R. F. Vogel Mary Chenery
John Keschl Max Hasse
Tape
Commissioner Saunders recommended that Mr. Schulz appeal the
suspension action and should he not file an appeal, the County Manager
should reconsider his suspension of Mr. Schulz.
Commissioner Volpe indicated he supports Commissioner Saunders
recommendations.
Commissioner Matthews concurred with Commissioner Saunders and
expressed that the two day suspension of Mr. Schulz was excessive.
Commissioner Norris commented that as a veteran, he supports Mr.
Schulz and his actions.
Com~tssioner Constantine, in unanimity, agreed that the County
Manager should give serious reconsideration to the suspension for all
the previously stated reasons.

CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSED ESCROW AGREEMENT BETWEEN WESTINGHOUSE
COB~]NITIES OF NAPLES, INC. COLLIER COUNTY AND THE CLERK OF THE
CIRCUIT COU~T FOR ACCEPTANCE OF A FIFTEEN (XS) ACRE PARCEL WITHIN THE
PELICAN BAY PUD BY SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED - STAFF DIREGTED TO REDRAFT
DEED FOR NA~IEW AT THE NOVEMBER 24, 1992 MEETING
Commissioner Volpe reviewed that within the Pelican Bay PUD there
is a fifteen acre parcel of land that is identified for a community
park at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of U.S. 41 and
Vanderbilt Beach Road. He noted that there is a library in this
general area and there are plans for an EMS substation as well.
November 17, 1992
Commissioner Volpe reviewed that approximately two months ago the
Gounty was presented with a deed for the remaining 15 acre parcel,
but the deed presented at the time had a reverter clause which essen-
tially said that if the County does not use the property for the pur-
poses within the PUD that it would automatically revert to the
grantor, Westinghouse. He recalled that the County Attorney was
directed to meet with representatives of Westinghouse to discuss the
reverter clause. Ne noted that subsequently, Westinghouse proposed to
improve the park site, but concerns were expressed regarding the
neighborhood park issue and whether Westinghouse is being relieved of
their obligations, as well as the provision for additional parking
spaces and the entire reconfiguration of the existing outline of the
park site within the PUD document. He reported that Westinghouse has
provided a revised plan, showing all the recreational amenities that
they or~ginally proposed on the fifteen acre parcel.
Commissioner Saunders clarified the following:
1.) Under the PUD document, there is no obligation on the part of
the County to have a reverter clause in the Deed, and the
Board should not accept the deed with any encumberances
except for those that are specifically required in the docu-
ment;
2.) Within the PUD document, Westinghouse has certain
obligations to construct facilities and neighborhood parks
and the County in no way should limit those obligations by
virtue of an agreement dealing with a community park.
County Attorney Cuyler advised that five acres of the twenty acres
have already been deeded, and there is no requirement for the reverter
clause or for any conditions within the PUD document.
David We/gel, Assistant County Attorney, provided a handout con-
cerning a synthesis of discussion by the Board on September 22, 1992
(copy not provided to the Clerk to the Board}.
Commissioner Saunders recommended that a general warranty deed be
obtained instead of a special warranty deed, omitting the reverter
language.
Patrick Kane spoke to this item.
Commissioner Volpe noted that the Escrow Agreement is not needed,
Page 12
November 17, 1992
as the School Board does not have immediate plans for their parcel.
He suggested that further negotiations be pursued with Westinghouse to
address the Board's concerns.
Commissioner Norris added that the restrictions within the Deed
should coincide with those within the PUD and the reverter clause
should be stricken.
Co~issioner Volpe moved, seconded by Co-missioner Saunders and
carried unanimously, to direct Staff to redraft the deed in which
Westinghouse Co~anities of Naples, Inc. transfers to Collier County
the ~tntng fifteen acre parcel of land for a con.unity park and
community facilities and present it to the Board for review next
Tuesdm¥, allowing Staff to make a presentation as to what Improvements

Iq~COJ~I~ID&~ZOR /~ &k~DgD BZD #92-1976 ~OR R~i~&~ &RD/OR
Steven Carnell, Purchasing Director, reviewed that at the
November 3, 1992 Board Meeting, there was confusion as to the bids
received and the methodology utilized to determine the lowest bidder
for the maintenance of plants within the Development Services Center,
the Utilities Administration, Building L, and Building F, Third Floor.
Commissioner Volpe inquired as to no cost alternatives. Mr.
Carnell reported that several agencies were contacted, i.e. Collier
County Cooperative Extension Service, Collier County Vocational
Technical Schools, Collier County Schools, and the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program, and they advised that they could not provide this
service.
County Manager Dorrlll reported that the main area in question ts
Building L, because the plants are permanently planted inside the
atrium area and are not merely potted.
Co~tmaloner maunders moved to establish a contract for only
Page 13
November 17, 1992
Buildin~ L for plant naintenance until an alternative can be achieved.
The eumtion failed for the lack of a second.
Cc~isstoner Volpe moved to reject this Bid and direct Staff to
assu~e the responsibility internally as to plant ~atntenance and that
within Building L, to contact the &~rtcultural Extension or Soil and
#ater District to devise an appropriate schedule, and asstffn that
r.spon~tbtlity to Hr. Ca~p who has general responsibilities for

Collier County.
County Manager Dorrtll added this is a direct recommendation from
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) tn order to allow a
final report of expenditures to be submitted to them for reimbursement.
C~mlssionsr Saunders moved, seconded by Co=-isstoner Norris and

I~,SOLUTTON 92-6~5 APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF FRANCHISE AGRE~NTS FROH
P~ CABLEVI$ION TO COLONY CABLEVISION OF FLORIDA - ADOPTED WITH
CHANTS
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
November 11 and 15, 1992, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication
filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Jennifer Edwards, Assistant to the County Manager, explained
Palmer CableVision notified the County in September that they are
planning to sell their cable operation to Colony Cablevision of
Florida, which is a division of the Providence Journal Company,
necessitating the transfer of their franchise agreement with Collier
County. She recalled on October 20th, the Board denied a request to
retain outside legal counsel to review the transfer application. She
concluded Staff has evaluated the application and recommend the Board
approve the transfer.
Commissioner Volpe referred to concerns expressed by Staff in
their report, specifically as they relate to written assurance that
Providence Journal Company will be responsible for Palmer
CableVision's past performance.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson communicated Staff has resolved
that concern through inclusion of specific language in the resolution.
Ms. Edwards indicated all outstanding concerns of Staff have been
satisfactorily addressed.
Attorney Dudley Goodlette with Cummings and Lockwood, representing
Colony Cablevision of Florida, stated for the record that the County
is not waiving its right to have Colony bring the franchises into
compliance should any performance deficiency exist. He also mentioned
that the language contained in the proposed resolution is the same as
contained in the City of Naples.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Edwards advised the County
will be doing an audit. She added Collier County also requires a CPA
statement vouching for the revenues each year as part of the
Page 17
November 17, 1992
agreement.
Commissioner Volpe questioned if there will be a close-out audit
as of the date of transfer?
Assistant County Attorney Wilson suggested language can be added
to the resolution addressing that provision.
The following person spoke regarding this item:

Co~missioner Saunders moved, seconded by Co~missioner Con~tantine

Hurricane Andrew. He said the County's Budget Staff has done an
outstanding Job and has been told by FEMA that Collier County is one
