Nick Casalanguida and Jamie French reported:
• The County continues the process for implementing complete "electronic plan
review."
• The system is being developed to reduce the demand for "walk in" delivery of permit
applications.
• Staff continues to address items such as determining the means to provide incentives
for electronic filing; the avenue for architects to submit "signed and sealed"plans;
the requirements to "secure" applications to ensure the consultants files are not
subject to unauthorized changes to, and/or retrieval of plans or documents; and
means a"sub-consultant"will submit electronic plans under a specific application.

V. Staff Announcements/Updates
A. Growth Management Division/Planning& Regulation Update— [Jamie French]
Jamie French submitted the document"May 2012 Monthly Statistics" for information
purposes.
He reported:
• The City of Marco Island and the County are discussing the concept of the County
assuming the responsibilities for the City of Marco Island's"building inspection. "
• Staff continues to investigate the logistics of the concept(i.e. assignment of
responsibilities, fee structures,manpower required for an adequate level of service,
etc.)to ensure the idea is viable.
• The program will require adoption of an inter-local agreement between the City of
Marco Island and Collier County.
• He will provide updates as they become available.
The Committee expressed concern on the length of time required to "pick up"permits at
County facilities.
Mr. French stated he was aware of the issue and is in the process of identifying avenues to
decrease the time required to "pick up" issued permits.
B. Public Utilities Division Update— [Nathan Beals]
Committee discussion occurred on the requirements for the"sizing"water meters. There
appears to be a lack of uniform standards between departments creating confusion for
applicants on the fees and size of meter required. Also discussed,was the requirements for
permits/fees involving retrofits and/or remodels of floor space in existing buildings where the
daily water/sewer demand does not require a change of meter or service line.
Nathan Beals stated he would investigate the issues and report back to the Committee.
C. Fire Review Update— [Ed Riley]
Ed Riley reported 719 reviews were conducted in April.
D. Growth Management Division/Transportation Engineering— [Jay Ahmad]
Jay Ahmad reported:

December 2013.

VI. New Business (Continued)
C. House Bill 503 [Jack McKenna]
Jack McKenna provided an update on House Bill 503 noting:
• House Bill 503 will become effective July 1, 2012.
• The legislation will require Counties/Municipalities to issue their environmental
permits when their requirements are met, absent of permits or"sign offs" from other
agencies.

permit issued by the Department of Environmental Protection or by a water
management which has an expiration date from January 1, 2012,through January 1,
2014.
• Staff is in the process of identifying the changes required to adapt to the new format.
Discussion occurred on:
• How to process County applications if changes are made to plans based on other
Agency comments or conditions after the County permit is issued.
• The rationale for the Bill (i.e. to reduce permit issuance delays due to duplicity and
lack of responses from various agencies, etc.).
