'COLLATERALIZED INVESTMENT AGREEMENT AND RELATED TRI-PARTY CUSTODIAN
AGREEMENT WITH SVENSKA HARDELSBANKEN FOR COLLIER COUNTY WATER-SEWER
DISTRICT REVENUE BONDS - APPROVED
:" Ffnance Director Yonkosky presented a request for approval of a
~/..-
:!~.~' collaterlallzed investment agreement and a related rtl-party custodian
~'.- ' agreement. He recalled the Board recently issued $55,225,000 worth of
County water and sewer bonds. He said the resolution authorizing that
issue required funding of a debt service reserve of $4,438,000 and the
reinvestment of that reserve is limited in yield to the permitted bond
yield of the Series 1991 bonds of 6.57%. He indicated Staff ~ssued
competitive bids on investment and agreement from qualified institu-
tions that met requirements of the County and FGIC, the insurer of the
~'~:'. Series 1991 bonds. He reported the bids received ranged from 6.35% to
6.56%, which is one percentage point below what the County is allowed
to keep. He noted the bids have been reviewed by the County's
Financial Advisor, the underwriters and the County Finance Director,
and it is the consensus that Svenska Handelsbanken provided the
highest interest rate as well as the best terms and conditions. He
mentioned the custodial fees will be paid by that firm and there will
be no fiscal impact to the Board. He concluded with a recommendation
that the Board approve a collaterialtzed investment agreement and a
related rtl-party custodian agreement with Svenska Handelsbanken.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Finance Director Yonkosky replied
Svenska Handelsbanken is a large European bank.
Marc Samet, Financial Advisor to the Board, added Svenska
Handelsbanken is a "AA" rated bank. He stated there are only 12 banks
found that have been willing to respond to these types of agreements
that are also qualified under the insurer's qualifications.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, County Attorney Cuyler advised
the documentation has been reviewed by h~mself and bond counsel.
Cmtssioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and
carried 4/0 to approve the collatertaltzed ~nvestment agreement and
related tr,-party custodian agreement w~th Svenska Handelsbanken.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN COLLIER COUNTY AND NAPLES SEWER COMPANY FOR TI{E

SYSTEM, AND SETTLEMENT OF CASE NO. 91-0983-CA-01-WLB BETWEEN THE
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT AND COLLIER COUNTY AND THE COLLIER COUNTY
WATER-SEWER DISTRICT - CONTINUED TO 2/11/92
Fred Bloetscher, Assistant Utilities Administrator, provided the
Board with the annual report of the Nap]es Industrial Park, LTD.
In response to Clerk Giles, Mr. Bloetscher indicated the Board was
previously provided with a white paper that summarizes the issues
involved with Naples Sewer Company.
advertised publfc hearing, it is a public hearing.
Hr. Bloetscher communicated the proposed transition agreement ts a
so/ut/on to a number of problems that exist. He said Naples Sewer
Company has a Certificate of Authority to serve the north half of the
i!- existing Naples Production Park area, or two of the four streets
involving approximately 240 bathrooms. He advised the three major
issues are i) litigation involving Naples Sewer Company against
Collier County on questions of impact fees and the County provldtng
service within their Certificate of Authority; 2) an attempt by Naples
Sewer Company to prevent the County from moving forth with the Naples
Production Park MSTU project; and 3) the Board's policy and the
legislative authority granted to the Collier County Water-Sewer
the County, not owning any of the sewer lines, pump stations or force
District to be the regional provider of utility services. He Indi-
cated through this agreement, the County is not purchasing any finan-
cial instruments of the utility or the plant and plant site. He said
mains within this system, needs to acquire the title to them. He
added the County does not have any of the easements to provide those
services. He communicated the Naples Sewer Company at this time does
not earn a profit, however, they are currently in litigation with the
Public Service Commission (PSC) for a substantial rate increase to
Page 7
January 28, 1992
i;their customers.
At Board direction, he said, a financial consultant
evaluated the system, however, the evaluation is flawed because it
used the $17 per commode value. He said if the Company were allowed
to earn the requested $71 user fee, the value of the utility would be
significantly higher.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Bloetscher stated the
financial consultant valued the utility at $408,000, however, that
amount included land costs which were in error because the Naples
Sewer Company does not own the land upon which the wastewater plant
Answering Commtssloner Saunders, Mr. Bloetscher indicated he would
expect the Company to earn a rate of return of 11-12, per year on the
rate base.
Commissioner Saunders asked if there ts a realistic opportunity
for the customer base to be expanded?
Mr. Bloetscher advised based upon what Naples Sewer Company filed
with the PSC, the plant is at approximately half capacity and would
need to expand their perc ponds to add more customers.
Commissioner Saunders questioned if a Phase I Environmental Audit
is sufficient for the type of facilities the County is planning to
acquire?
Mr. Bloetscher reported Staff is comfortable with the Phase I
audit.
In answer to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Bloetscher stated the
County will be acquiring the wastewater lines, manholes and lift sta-
ttons. He said the $800,000 the County will be paying is reasonable
and solves larger issues at the same time. He indicated if the County
attempted to acquire the facility through condemnation, the estimated
cost would be $500,000 plus attorney fees on both sides.
Commissioner Volpe commented the Board is being asked to make a
business decision. He said the utility has been denied their request
for a rate increase by the PSC and the likelihood of their expanding
the facilities is rather doubtful. He stated based on the figure of
Page 8
January 28, 1992
$800,000, he has reservations of how good a business deal this is for
the County.
Commissioner Saunders added another issue of concern is whether
Collier County has the right to serve in the certificated area of this
utility. He said from his understanding, as long as the County can
show that it is willing, ready and able to serve that area while the
existing utility is not, the County would prevail in the litigation.
County Attorney Cuyler affirmed that is the position the County
has taken in the litigation. He said the presumption is the County
would be successful in the litigation, however, he cautioned that
there is no guarantee.
Commissioner Volpe remarked an alternative would be to acquire the
facility through condemnation proceedings.
Commissioner Saunders agreed, adding another consideration ts to
':~' /et Mr. Arnold continue his operation, possibly at a loss. He said
-~j. the system is not worth more than $500,000 under any scenario, and he
ii!' believes Mr. Arnold will return willing to settle for that amount.
' Since there is no partlcu]ar problem or imminent environmental hazard
being created by the operation, he asked why not let him continue?
County Attorney Guy]er indicated the County could go to condem-
nation, however, along with approximately $500,000 in acquisition
costs, attorney and expert witness fees must be factored into that
dec/sion.
Commissioner Volpe inquired if this type of arrangement will
strengthen the position at the bargaining table of the next private
utility who has a similar situation?
Mr. Bloetscher advised the second utility has filed suit against
the County for similar reasons, however, they are currently in court
with the Department of Environmental Regulation.
Clerk Giles commented the Executive Summary indicates approval of
this agreement will eliminate the potential for delay in the Naples
Production Park MSTU project. He said this purchase is proposed to be
paid by the general rate payer. He questioned to what extent will the

payer rather than primarily those within the Naples Production Park?
Mr. Bloetscher stated any time customers are added to the County
system the general rate payer benefits.
Clerk Giles indicated his concern with how this acquisition bene-
fits the general rate payer or residents in the North Naples area.
Mr. Bloetscher continued, stating with regard to impact fees that
generally people have either paid impact fees to the County or not
paid impact fees at all. He sa~d the rate tariffs from the PSC for
the Naples Sewer Company system will not allow them to charge an
impact fee.
Commissioner Volpe asked for clarification whether each individual
currently being serviced by this private utility will pay an impact
fee when they come on line to a County system?
Mr. Bloetscher indicated that is correct, assuming they have not
previously paid the County an impact fee. He said those who have
already done so will not be charged a second tame.
Commissioner Saunders remarked the Naples Sewer Company is
currently operating at a $58,000 shortfall and even if they get the
$?1 requested rate increase, their maximum profit will be less than
$50,000 per year. He suggested Mr. Arnold might be willing to discuss
an acquisition price of $500,000 rather than $800,000.
Don Arnold, owner of Naples Sewer Company, clarified that the
returns on investment profit are based on the existing size of the
facility, not the total territory which is approximately three times
the size of the present facility. With regard to prevailing in court,
he said there is criteria and basis of law to support their desire tO
serve their territory. He mentioned their case is before the
court now and an interim rate has been approved of $36.67
Page 10
per month, which ts considerably higher than the $500,000 suggested by
Commissioner Saunders. He communicated his concern with the County
currently charging his customers impact fees when they request
building permits while he, and not the County, is providing their
ltty service.
Clerk Giles cautioned the Board they are attempting to negotiate a
price on a wastewater system looking at 1990 financial statements. He
said there has not been an independent financial review which should
be done before the Board makes a decision on this issue.
'. In response to Commissloner Shanahan, Mr. Bloetscher advised that
~:: Naples Sewer Company is not required to file 1991 financial statements
"~. until the end of March.
Commissioner Volpe indicated sufficient questions have been raised
in this discussion including the economic analysis, the funds
available for this transition agreement and whether the County may be
overpaying for the facility. He suggested this item be continued
until the Board receives additional information.
Mr. Arnold requested if this item is continued, that the Board
aIso defer action on the Naples Production Park MSTU unttl the courts
decide who has the right to serve in that area. He also stated if the
Board chooses to continue this item, whatever costs incurred by h~m
~'~: from this point forward wtll be part of the negotiations.
· Commissioner Volpe asked Staff to provide the Board with current
,t financial Information on Naples Sewer Company and a report regarding
the appropriateness of using the carryforward funds to acquire this
facility.

In response to Commissioner Shanahan, EMS Billing Supervisor
distributed two handouts, one which includes historical collection
rate information for residents and nonresidents over the past year and
Wampler divulged that the EMS collection rate system-wide is currently
running at 65.6~ and, zone-wise, the coastal area is running slightly
under 80%. He related there is a continuing problem with the collec-
tion rate in the rural migrant areas which, when factored into the
~ entire system, brings the rate down to 66~.
:~: ' Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the collectfon rate will
.decrease as the E~$ rates escalate, and ~r. ~ampler agreed that could
be a possibility.
Commissioner Volpe stated the policy of the County is that it does
:. not take an assignment of Medicare benefits, and Mr. Wampler confirmed
~ that is correct.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Reardon projected that
fhts year EMS will do about 17,000 responses to incidents, out of
which 10,000 will be transported, out of which 8,000 will be residents
and 2,000 will be nonresidents, with the remaining 7,000 calls being
situations where there is "no fee", i.e. where there is a call but the
person refuses transportation or assistance.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Reardon explained there are
no capital items associated with buildings and structures in the EMS
budget.
Page 12
January 28, 1992
In reply to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Reardon reported that staff's
calculations tndlcate Collier County residents will experience an
Increase of between 2-10~ on the average transported patient's EMS
charge.
iiiiiii: Budget Analyst Finn distributed a handout identified as a Memo
!~ dated January 17, 1992 from James P. Reardon/Edward N. Finn which
Identified the percentage of increase proposed for Collier County
~% · residents.
Commissioner Volpe stated that ]n the past taxpayers have been
subsidizing a portion of the cost for nonresidents receiving EMS
emergency care and Mr. Reardon concurred, adding that the average
resident with a $150,000 home ts paying about $16.40 toward ad valorem
and EMS in this year's budget, as structured and submitted for appro-
val. He explained that an attempt to make it a 1OO% fully funded ad
valorem system with some minor deviations, means a $150,000 home
value would be assessed at approximately $40 towards EMS. He referred
to page 2 of the herefnabove referred to handout distributed by Mr.
· Finn and pointed out the variance percentages.
George Keller, President of Collier County Civic Federation,
stated the people at Bonita Shores want to make sure that billing will
not be based on zip codes as they are through the Lee County Post
Office.
Mr. Reardon stated that zip codes will not be used as a deter-
~ · minator on which rate structure an individual falls under.
County Manager Dorrfll ~nter3ected that billing will be based on a
combination of a Florida Driver's License showing a Collier County
address and/or other proof of residency that in part will include a
zip code, but recognizing that Bonita Shores has a zip code other than
the rest of the County.
Mr. Keller stated the real problem is with indigents, and
suggested that those hiring "cheap labor" must pay some of these
COSTS.
Commissioner Saunders questioned whether Impact fees can be
Page ! 3
January 28, ~992
~ charged based on acres of land farmed or some other criteria that
would generate income for fire, poltce, emergency medical services,
roads water sewer otc and County Attorney Cuyler implied his
office will be happy to /nvest/gate the poss~bilJty, If so directed.
Mr. Reardon explained that, if the budgeted amount of user fees
does not come in, the amount must be offset by ad valorem dollars.
JoAnn Harris stated that in 1990 the base fee for ambulance was
$112 plus services; in lg91 the base fee was $145 plus services; in
1992 the base fee is $165 plus services; and today the EMS Js
' proposing a base fee of $286, which is a tripling of the $112 base fee
of 13 months ago. She pointed out that, typically, prtvate insurance
carriers do not pay for care, treatment, services or supplies which
are ~n excess of reasonable and customary charges for the areas in
which they are made. She suggested that a cost benefit analysis or a
performance audit of the EMS to determine whether tax and insurance
dollars are being spent in the most cost effective way.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Reardon stated that
approximately six months ago HRS/EMS inspectors performed an inspec-
tion without benefit of notice and did not find any "deficiencies" of
any significant degree.
John Keschl requested the total dollar amount of all the bills not
paid in the last four years. He suggested that those hiring people
such as migrant or part-time workers ~n Immoka]ee be responsible for
the expense of transporting same. He indicated his preference is to
have the cost of EMS put on the ad valorem tax.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Reardon stated that any-
body who lives ~n Collter County and pays ad valorem taxes, or rents
and indirectly pays those taxes for a period longer than slx months,
or ts a business owner, as well as their direct famSly members, are
all considered resldents and will be afforded the discount and
recognized resident rate.
Commissioner Saunders concluded that, although there is an effort
by everyone to reduce the ad valorem budget wherever possible, there
Page 14
January 28, 1992
are some basic services the taxpayers are willing to pay for such as
i~ police protection, and emergency medical services fits that same cate-
gory. ~e questioned what percentage of the overall budget for
emergency medical services should be provided by the ad valorem tax-
payer and what percentage should be provided by the user of the
system. He stated he has no philosophical problem with a two ttered
system of charges, but pointed out that paying ad valorem taxes and
then being hit with a $300 or $400 ambulance bill ts tough medicine to
take.
Commissioner Volpe voiced satisfaction with the rates as proposed
and with the distinction between resident and nonresident, stated
he would like to see a greater percentage of the ad valorem taxes
applied toward the resident, and questioned whether a performance
audit or some other independent analysis should be done.
Commissioner Hasse concurred with the idea that the citizens of
Collier County who are paying the overall tax base should be given
every consideration.
Commissioner Shanahan voiced support for the studies and analysis
performed.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Reardon explained that,
based upon the assumption of a 50/50 mix, Option 5, and based upon the
legal validated requirement of what a bill costs of $591, it will
provide a discount to a resident of $303 with a cost on average of
$288 for the user fee.
Regarding Option 5, Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the
benefits were blended from using 50% ad valorem taxes to benefit the
resident and nonresident, and Mr. Reardon answered in the negative.
Commissioner Saunders suggested keeping a 50/50 mix at this point,
going to Option 5 and look at the suggestion of some type of audit of
the EMS operations.
Co~miasioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan, to
basically adopt Option 5, which provides for a 50/50 mix on ad valorem
taxes, thereby adopting the Resolution supporting same.

Mr. Keschl questioned why emergency medical service is usually the
· last to respond to a 911 emergency call, and County Manager Dorrill
proceeded to explain the sequence response to a typical call.
County Attorney Cuyler pointed out that the Motion provides for
adoption of the Resolution distributed as a handout, which is slightly
different from the one contained in the agenda package.
Commissioner Volpe clarified that the Resolution in question is
the one attached to the memo dated January 24, 1992.
County Manager Dorrill reflected that the motion adds almost
$500,000 in ad valorem taxes to this EMS budget. He suggested
deferring the decision until budget time at the end of this year as,
otherwise, it will be necessary to move half a million dollars out of
the Contingency Fund into the EMS Budget. He reminded the Board of
County Commissioners that the budget has been approved this year on
the mix proposed.
In response to Commissioner Volpe Budget Analyst Finn estimated
that the adjustment of 12% results in an additional $500,000 in ad
valorem taxes.
Co~issioner Sa=nders amended his motion, and Commissioner
$~ amended h~s second, to reflect an effective date of October
1, ~992.
Mr. Finn reported that a delay in implementing the new EMS rates
has had a negative effect on their total revenue stream for this year.
Upon call for the question, the Motion carried 4/0.

RESOLOTIOR 92-52 APPROVING THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATED
COSTS PERTAINING TO THE NAPLES PRODUCTION PARK IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT AND APPROVING THE UPDATED AND REVISED TENTATIVE ASSESSMENT
ROLL OF ASSESSABLE IMPROVEMENTS THEREIN - ADOPTED
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
January 12, 1992, as evidenced by Aff~davit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider a Resolution
approving the plans, specifications and estimated costs pertaining to
the Naples Production Park Improvement Assessment District and
approving the updated and revised tentative assessment roll of
assessable improvements therein.
Tom Conrecode, Director of Office of Capital Projects, explained
the proposed resolution will approve the final plans, specif~cations
and estimated costs for the Naples Production Park Improvement
Assessment District, as well as approving an updated and revised
assessment roll. He recalled in August, 1990, the Board ordered the
construction of the potable water, sanitary sewer, road and drainage
~mprovements within the Naples Production Park Assessment District and
at that time, adopted an updated, revised tentative assessment roll.
He said because of revised costs associated with the revised plans,
Staff is proposing the final tentative assessment roll which needs
approval prior to going to construction on this project. ~e advised
the total estimated cost is $8,705,736, which will be pa~d by special
assessment against the benefit of property owners within the District.
He provided the Board with three letters received by Staff in conjunc-
tion with this matter. He ~ndlcated Staff's recommendation is that
the Board adopt the resolution approvinG the final plans and final
updated and revised tentative assessment rolls.
Commissioner Volpe referred to a letter received by the Board of
County Commissioners objecting to the inclusion of Corporate Square
within the tentative assessment roll, which he sa]d should be

for something they already have when others tn the County are not?
Commissioner Volpe asked if Mr. Ingram ts questioning his client's
property being included in the District or questioning the benefit
from the improvements contemplated?
Mr. Ingram responded he is questioning both.
Commissioner Volpe advised that other infrastructure is proposed
addition to paving roads.
Mr. Ingram stated he ts not contesting sewer service at this time.
He said the road issue is a sizable port]on of his client's proposed
assessment of $114,000.
In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Ingram stated to the north
of hfs client's property fs Enterprise Avenue, to the west Is
"' Commercial Boulevard and the road to the south is Exchange Avenue.
Commissioner Volpe inquired if the roads are currently County or
private roads?
Mr. Conrecode corrected Mr. Ingram's statement, saying the road to
the west is Industrial Boulevard. He reported in the order of taking,
it was brought out that when this development was originally platted
but not certified, those areas were eased areas within that develop-
ment. He said the County will bring the roads up to current County
standards and does not currently maintain them tn the Industrial Park.
Page 18
January 28, 1992
Mr. Ingram pointed out the roads had to be at County standards at
many of the streets, the adjoining property owners Joined to pave per-
tfons of the roadways to improve their condition. He said there was
no uniform method of collecting any monies to maintain the roadways,
therefore, there was an inequity within the Park in order to keep the
roads tn some form of passable condition. He indicated there is no
central water or sewer distribution system and the roadside drainage
system was not maintained in any consistent fashion, therefore, cer-
tain segments of the roads flood, particularly in the eastern section
of the Park. He said in the mid 1980's, it was felt
by
a
certain
group within the Park, that the roads should be brought up to County
standards so the County would then accept and maintain them in the
future. He indicated they also felt that a central water distribution
system was extremely important because of the fire regulations In
place, which have made it difficult or impossible to obtain building
permits due to the ]ack of fire protection. He said they also
believed that a central sewer distribution system was important
because of septic tank failures due to a high groundwater table. He
advised a group of owners within the Park petitioned the Board of
County Commissioners to create a Municipal Service Taxing Unit, which
Page lg
issued. He said he doubts that the County is reconstructing every
road In the County that does not meet the standards that exist today.
Tom Peek with Wilson, Miller, Barton & Peek, Inc., advised that he
has been working on this project since its Inception in 1986. He said
none of the roads within the Naples Production Park were constructed
to any County standard, nor were'they ever applied to the County for
acceptance of those roadways. He indicated the County has never
accepted or maintained those roads. Because of that condition and as
part of the construction, he said, the initial construction was no
;??~ the time of installation, otherwise a permit would not have been
~ii., more than grading and putting ltmerock on the roads. He reported over
:..~i. ' time from the early lg60's when the roads were first developed, the
traffic increased to the point that the roadways deteriorated and on
January 28, 3992
was adopted through public hearings and which has moved forward to
this request for approval of the final plans.
Attorney Richard Fletcher, representing Hughes Supply, Inc.,
referred to a letter which raises six points that need to be
addressed. He stated their question has to do with the tentative
assessment roll, specifically, the allocation of benefits and costs
being paid as they are apportioned among the owners. He said his
client's property is at the corner of Progress Avenue and
Airport-Pulling Road, and does not need the benefits being proposed.
He communicated his client first heard of the proposed assessment
district yesterday, although he has been in business at that location
since 1985. He asked the Board to delay adoption of this resolution
to provide time for his client to interact with other owners in the
Park as well as with County Staff with respect to the methodology used
for the assessment. He noted his client already has County water and
sewer distribution systems. He mentioned in talking with Harry Huber,
the County's Technical Services Supervisor with the Office of Capital
Projects, it was agreed that his client may well have been assessed
double what he should have been.
Mr. Conrecode communicated that he received a copy of Attorney
Fletcher's letter this date, and Staff is revisiting a number of items
that are being questioned.
Chris Freeland, Vice President and General Manager of Naples
Nissan, stated their property is located adjacent to Hughes Supply,
'and their objections are along the same lines as that company. He
referred to a letter provided to the Board addresslng their concerns.
(Copy not provided to the Clerk to the Board.)
Bill Jones, member of the Citizens Advisory Committee, stated
there is a consensus of the majority of owners in the subject area who
want the improvements. He indicated after receiving the tentative
assessment during the past year, people are not happy that the current
proposed assessment is 32% above what it was last year. However, he
said, they realize that every time this project is delayed, it will be
Page 20
~., more expensive
to
undertake.
January 28, 1992
He urged the Board to approve the pro-
posed resolution.
Richard Scott, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
Shaw Aero Development, stated his company is located on Progress
Avenue in an area where the road needs improvement. He said they are
generally In favor of these improvements, however, their tentative
assessment one year ago was approximately $40,000, which has now
increased more than 50% to $63,000. He asked the Board to study
further how the project is being administered and how the assessments
are being set.
Commissioner Shanahan asked Staff to address some of the questions
raised, such as the possibility of reviewing the methodology used and
the procedure of determining the assessment distance.
Mr. Conrecode admitted of the nearly 400 assessable parcels within
the District, there Js no doubt that an error may have been made in
determining individual assessments with regard to the water distribu-
tion system. He said if front footage has been miscalculated, each
parcel will be very specifically addressed.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Assistant County Attorney
WeiGel concurred that the Board can approve Going forward with this
project with the understanding that both the written submittals and
the issues raised by the public speakers will be evaluated.
Commissioner Volpe commented a 32~ increase since the preliminary
estimates were given in June, 1990, is a significant increase. He
asked for an explanation of that increase as well as the projected
overall costs.
Mr. Conrecode advised the Board that land acquisition costs have
increased 400% since June, 1990, because Staff estimated that a number
of property owners would donate easements rather than gotnG to court
which has not occurred. He added the remaining increase is in
financing costs, both in terms of the interim financing and the debt
service reserve which was not included in the 1990 estimate. He said
the proposed roll is in a not to exceed amount, taking into con-

RECO~ENDATION TO WAIVE THE FEES FOR POSTING AN EMS AMBULANCE AT THE
UPCOMING AETNA CHALLENGE EVENT TO BE HELD AT THE VINEYARDS - APPROVED
WITH FUNDS DERIVED FROM EMS ENTERPRISE FUND - FUND 490
Tom Olltff, Assistant to the County Manager, explained this is a
request to post an ambulance at the Annual Aetna Challenge scheduled
for one week starting February 3rd. He said this ~s done annually
because of the general charity nature of the event which returns large
sums of money to local charities, as well as the size of the event.
He communicated last year over 50,000 people turned out for the four-
day event and from an EMS perspective, the necessity of having an
ambulance is well warranted.
In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Olliff said there is a
standard billable hourly rate of approximately $71, however, in this
case the County is only charging the actual cost of the overtime
involved.
Commissioner Volpe inquired if the Sheriff's Office provides
police protection at this event?
Lt. Byron Tomlfnson, representing the Sheriff's Office, stated his
agency has a contract with the Vineyards for Deputies to be present.
County Manager Dorrill communicated that F~nance Director Yonkosky
has suggested the EMS Contingency Fund ~s a more appropriate place to
provide the costs as opposed to general revenues.
John Keschl asked if any amount of the proceeds from the Aetna
0hallenge are turned over to the County7
County Manager Dorrill recalled that two years ago, the County
Museum received a portion of the funds raised, however, charitable
agencies received $225,O00 in 1991.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Dorrtll stated the Aetna
Challenge is a non-profit group that pays a management consultant to
run the tournament, however, the net proceeds all go to charity.
Mr. Keschl questioned if the funds are donated to charities in

Collier County?
County Manager Dorrll] indicated he ts not certain, however, most
of those in attendance at the awards ceremonies tn 1991, were asso-
ciated with Collier County charities.
Co~atastoner Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and
carried 4/0, to waive the fees for posting an EMS ambulance at the
Aetna Challenge on the basis that it provides a public service, and
that the funds will be derived from Fund 490, the EMS Enterprise Fund.

RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH
COLLIER COUNTY CHILD ADVOCACY COUNCIL, INC., TO MEET STATUTORY
REQUIREMENTS TO FUND EXAMINATIONS OF ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN
COORDINATED THROUGH THE COLLIER COUNTY CHILD ADVOCACY COUNCIL,
INC./GHILD PROTECTION TEAM - APPROVED
Assistant County Attorney Ramiro Mafialtch recalled the Board
approved this item last year for the first time, pursuant to a
statutory mandate. He said tn the interim, there have been ongoing
discussions with Staff regarding the appropriate role of County
funding. He indicated Public Services Director Martha Skinner
correctly pointed out that an Attorney General request should be
included, specifically, the question to the Attorney General regarding
whether under confidentiality laws, the Child Protection Team can pur-
sue Medicaid by sharing information with State HRS. He recommended
the Board continue funding pursuant to the statutory mandate, with
both parties agreeing that in conjunction with the Attorney General's
~uidance, the agreement will be amended if necessary. He concluded
with a request that the agreement be approved effective October 1,
1991, through September 30, 1992.
, Commissioner Volpe questioned if Dr. Polkowskt's office could pro-
vide this kind of service7
Mr. Maflalich communicated his understanding that thls program
set up through the auspices of HRS under the Statute, specifically,
through the Children, Youth and Families program, who then designates
a local Child Protection Team. He said they are untquely equipped to
Page 24
January 28, 1992
deal with this type of examination as well as with the associated
court related activities.
Sandy Glover, with the Ch]Id Protection Team, explained Chapter
415 of the Florida Statutes specifically sets up the Child Protection
Team who are mandated to provide the medical exam]nations. She said
the physicians must be Board eligible pediatricians with additional
training in abuse and neglect. She said the law mandates that the
County will pay for the initial medical examination and be reimbursed
from the parents.
Mr. Maflalich added there are issues with substantial economic
impact on the Medicaid reimbursement, because if they are able to
information, there may be the potential for great reduction in
the amount the County is paying.
Co~imsionsr Shanahan moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders and
~-rAed 4/0, to alrprove an agreement with Collier Count~ Child
A~vocac~ Council, Inc., to meet Statutory requirements to fund exami-
nations of abused and neglected children coordinated through the

PETITION DOA-91-2, WILLIAM R. VINES OF VINES AND ASSOCIATES, INC.,
REPRESENTING ASHLEY M. PAPINEAU OF TOLLGATE COMMERCIAL CENTER, A
FLORIDA GENERAL PARTNERSHIP REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE TOLLGATE
COMMERCIAL CENTER PUD DEVELOPMENT ORDER 84-1 TO ALLOW THE ADDITION OF
30.83 ACRES OF LAND WHICH WILL INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF LAND USES AS
DESCRIBED IN THE AMENDING DOCUMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 1-75 AND C.R. 951, CONSISTING OF 100.23 ACRES -
CONTINTTKD TO 2/11/92
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Dally News on
December 29, 1991, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition DOA-91-2,
filed by Wllltam R. Vines of Vines and Associates, Inc., representing
Ashley M. Paptneau of Tollgate Commercial Center, a Florida General
Partnership, requesting an amendment to the Tollgate Commercial Center
PUD Development Order 84-1 to allow the addition of 30.83 acres of
land which will increase the Intensity of land uses as described in
the amending document for property located at the southeast corner of
1-75 and C.R. 951.
Planner Bellows asked the Board to consider Companion Petitions
DOA-91-2 and PUD-83-18(3), requesting an amendment to the Tollgate PUD
to allow the addition of 30 acres of former F/ortda Department of
TransportatIon (FDOT) right-of-way as well as revisions to the PUD
Document, Master Plan and Development Order. He said since the
Tollgate PUD is an approved Development of Regional Impact (DRI),
expansion of the project has triggered the DRI Substantial Deviation
process. He indicated the acquisition of 30 acres of FDOT right-of-
way has increased the project size from 69.4 to 100.235 acres. He
noted there are no changes proposed to the previously approved list of
permitted uses or development standards. He added with the increase
in land area, the buildable area will expand as follows: the retail
area is increased from 75,200 to 313,600 square feet, the industrial
portion is increased from 300,000 to 550,000 square feet, hotel/motel
rooms will increase from 200 to 405 and the office space will decrease
from 45,000 to 35,000 square feet. He advised the petition is con-
s~stent with the Growth Management Plan, and the Development Order has
Page 27
January 28, [992
i been reviewed by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council
(SFRPC) whose approvals, stipulations and recommendations have been
incorporated into that document. He noted the petitioner has objected
to the SFRPC's provisions for affordable housing. He mentioned the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has requested the transportation
stipulations be modified to adopt similar language to the Halstatt
DRI.
";~ In response to Commissioner Volpe, Planner Bellows stated after
:, discussions with SFRPC and the petitioner, SFRPC has revised its
ginal stance and has proposed revised language that states when
Collier County adopts its affordable housing ordinance with linkage
fees, this project will be subject to that provision. He said if the
funding mechanisms are not in place by January 1, 1994, each develop-
ment within the project shall pay a fee of 20¢ per square foot of
!> building space to an affordable housing trust fund at the time
building permits are filed with the County.
Planner Bellows called attention to the amendment to the transpor-
tation section which includes concurrency language. He concluded the
CCPC unanimously approved Petitions DOA-91-2 and PUD-83-18(3) and
Staff has received no correspondence for or against this proposal.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Planner Bellows stated the
petitioner and Staff are in agreement with all stipulations and
language.
Commissioner Volpe advised Mr. Vines of his opportunity to con-
i~'' tinue this item until a full Board of County Commissioners is
available.
Commissioner Volpe communicated his concern with the affordable
housing aspect of the petition, stating his opinion that the location
is very appropriate for affordable housing as well as the fact that
the proposed enterprises will generate the need for low to moderate
income housing. He indicated he is not satisfied with the peti-
tioner's commitment to place 20¢ per square foot of buildinG space
~nto an affordable housing trust fund. He asked if the commitment
January 28, I992
includes the entire project, including what is already built7
William Vines, representing the petitioner, stated he does not
believe the fee is retroactively collectible, however, when an ordi-
nance is adopted, the terms will be complied with.
Planner Bellows mentioned having discussed this issue with a
representative of the SFRPC who ~tated this type of project generally
takes 15-20 years to build out, and therefore, Is not anticipated to
happen before a linkage fee mechanism is in place.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Vines stated the concerns
relative to the transportation aspect have all been resolved. He said
the petitioner has FDOT concurrence with the final determination of
improvement needs and costs, and the determination has been made and
agreed to by FDOT that the Tollgate road impact fees will substan-
tially exceed any road and intersection improvements necessitated by
the Tollgate DRI's traffic impacts.
Couissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Hasse and
carried 4/0, to close the public hearing.
Co~iasioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Shanahan, to
approv~ Petition DOA-gl-2 subject to all Staff stipulations.
Commissioner Volpe reiterated his concern with affordable housing
at this location.
Mr. Vines advised the SFRPC wants Collier County to complete the
business of adopting an affordable housing program which will be
applicable broadly throughout Collier County. He said they initially
indicated a desire to utilize Tollgate as a mechanism to create a
small affordable housing program, however, ultlmate]y recognized that
suggestion as inappropriate.
Mr. Brutt clarified that Staff expects to present a linkage fee
ordinance to the Board before the end of this year.
Commissioner Volpe suggested this item be continued in order that
he do additional research as well as provide the petitioner with a
full Board upon the return of Commissioner Goodnight.
Com~issioner Saunders withdrew the motion to approve Petition

Planner Bellows identified the location of the subject site and
explained the objective of this Petition is to amend the Collier PUD
to delete hotels and motels as permitted uses, to increase the size of
the shopping center by adding 32,525 square feet of mixed commercial
· space, and to change the PUD name to the shopping center name, which

amount of traffic generated by the proposed amendment is slightly
lower than what the currently proposed development will generate. He
remarked that proper mJttgatlon measures will ensure the County's
interests are maintained. He relayed staff's recommendation for
approval subject to stipulations.
Richard Henderlong, representing Collier Development Corporation,
~': . displayed a map highlighting the subject site. He confirmed his
organization is in agreement with the staff report. He reported
