V. Old Business
A. Bula Mission Update
Discussion revolved around the feasibility, funding efforts and desirability of
salvaging some of the remaining building material at Bula Mission.
Ray Bellows noted the County deemed it a health and safety hazard, with the
plan to demolish the building. However, the owners were unable to pay for it.
He also noted its County Designation as a Historical site.
Patty Huff reported on her efforts to contact the Edgerin James Foundation
for funding. She pointed out the Copeland community, while looking to
honor Ms Frances, was unable to raise enough funds to preserve or restore it.
(They raised only $1,200.) Being outside the City limits,the mayor was not
able to commit City funds.
Results of the discussion were:
Patty Huff will contact Commissioner Jim Coletta, in whose district the
property lies,to make known the condition of a County Designated site.
She will also contact Collier County Museum Director, Ron Jamro for his input.
Ray Bellows will contact Jim Seabasty regarding holding off demolition
plans until the Board has time to pursue other avenues for preservation and
site recognition.
Sharon Kenny will contact Paul Arsenault, who had expressed interest in its
preservation as depicted in paintings he had done at the site.
Craig Woodward suggested the property be fenced if there were safety/health
issues. Both he and Cory Cabral, who had previously spoken to the Board on

the condition and restoration possibilities of the property,had expressed
interest in any salvageable wood, should the building be demolished.
Craig Woodward moved to hold off making any final recommendations until
the next HAPB meeting, when reports from the contacts made will be
presented Second by Patty Huff. Carried unanimously, 5-0.
B. Interlocal Agreement Draft Document
Ray Bellows reviewed the reasons for the creation of an Interlocal
Agreement. He reported Marco City Planner, Kris VanLengen had taken a
new position and would be replaced by Bryan Milk. Kris had been in the
process of integrating the City of Marco's Ordinance with the County's
Ordinance in regard to historical and archaeological preservation issues as
they relate to the Land Development Code, rules and procedures.
Renovations at the Old Marco Inn may require presentation to the HAPB.
Craig Woodward stated the HAPB will look over what is presented and
provide their comments to the City of Marco regarding the Old Marco Inn.
He will also check to confirm if the Planning Board had agreed to the
Ordinance Mr. VanLengen was preparing and will speak with the City
Council on their ratifying the concept for the Interlocal Agreement,prior to
the creation of the actual agreement he and Will Dempsey will prepare. A
report will be given at the next HAPB meeting.
C. Chokoloskee Island Update
Assistant County Attorney, Steve Williams provided an extensive report on
the background, law suit progress and what has thus far transpired at the property
site. He noted the upcoming hearing for a temporary injunction on September 8
at 1:30pm in Judge Hayes' courtroom. Witnesses will be interviewed and site
background and history researched.
Patty Huff commented the developer indicated a private marina was to be
created. To the County, however, it was to be single family homes.
She read from an e-mail from the Army Corps of Engineers regarding their
consultation with tribal representatives who had issues with the demolition at
Chokoloskee.
Discussion followed on disturbance of archaeologically sensitive areas, site
replacement, right of ways and State and County rights in the matter.
Attorney Williams will keep the Board informed and updated.

VIII. Board Member Announcements
Craig Woodward inquired about the Santini Cemetery being in the brochure if it
was not there to visit.
Patty Huff noted it was located at the top of Calusa Drive. It was decided to
discuss that topic, and the brochure, at a future meeting.
Will Dempsey briefed the Board on the Rock Creek discovery of Calusa pottery
he had found at low tide. He had shown some pieces to Ron Jamro at the Collier
County Museum and was told they were not unusual, as there were several
mounds along that area. He will connect with Bob Can for his input and report at
a future meeting.

and the Marco Historical Society were in a joint venture funding effort to examine
the discovery in Rookery Bay of the remains of a sunken Spanish ship. The group
had also approached the Marco Museum for funding. They plan to determine
exactly what is there, the extent and age of the find. He will inform the HAPB on
their progress.
