February 6, 2013
• Inspections in January were at the highest point since 2008 and the demand continues
to provide a stress on levels of service. Staff continues to monitor the activity to
determine what adjustments in Staffing are required to fulfill the demand.
• The Department continues to address avenues to improve efficiency in processing of
permits (i.e. requiring SDPI vs. an SDPA).
Nick Casalanguida reported
• Staff is considering implementing an"after hours shift" (i.e. 2pm to 10pm)to allow
plan reviewers to focus solely on their tasks with minimal interruptions.
• Consideration is underway for implementing a"Hearing Officer"position for review
of certain land use applications.
• Discussion is occurring on the feasibility of combining the Environmental Advisory
Council and the Planning Commission into one review Board.
VI. New Business
A. Irrigation Quality (IQ) Water Program changes [Joe Bellone, Peter Lund and Danette
Kinaszczuk]
Mr. Bellone provided the "Collier County Water-Sewer District Irrigation Quality (IQ)
Water Policy" for review. He wants to report to the Board of County Commissioners, he has
provided a copy of the proposed Policy to the DSAC for information purposes. The
Committee may choose to provide comments as they see fit. He noted:
• The program provides requirements for re-use irrigation water.
• It is being updated to:
• Meet current technological demands.
• Meet current requirements for service as the Ordinance was previously adopted in
1998 and some of the user agreements are 26 years old.
• Ensure the program is legally sufficient.
• Change County ownership of the infrastructure to the private property line, as in
most cases the County's current ownership includes infrastructure on private
property.
• Provide a more equitable fee structure for the users.
Chairman Varian noted the Committee reviewed the proposed Ordinance and has no formal
comments.

copy of the proposed Program to DSAC for information purposes. The Committee may
choose to provide comments as they see fit. He noted:

• The purpose is to update the Ordinance to reflect customer inquiries on the equability
of charges.
• All new uses of certain multi family or multi unit developments will be required to

"grandfathered."
