session, which in 2016 begins on January 12 and ends March 11, 2016, staff prepares
a draft list of state legislative priorities for consideration and subsequent endorsement
by the Board of County Commissioners (Board).
The Board held a 2016 State Legislative Workshop on September 10, 2015 in the
boardroom at the Collier County Government Center. The discussion included
consideration of legislative priorities for the upcoming 2016 Legislative Session and
the Board provided the following direction:
1) Review and categorize the 18 recommendations on inland oil drilling
prepared by the County's expert consultant, and previously approved by the
Board, to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) —
Staff analysis is provided in Attachment 2;
2) Review The Conservancy of Southwest Florida's additional legislative
priorities and provide comments—Staff review is provided in Attachment 3;
3) Provide additional projected budget information for the proposed Economic
Development Initiatives - Information is provided in Attachment 4;
4) Support additional funding for courts—Included on the priority list(Item 7).
The Board-approved priorities will subsequently be presented by the Commission
Chair, or designee, at the Collier County Legislative Delegation Public Meeting and
Hearing on Thursday, October 15, 2015 at the North Collier Regional Park, 15000
Livingston Road, Naples, FL 34109. Morning and afternoon sessions are scheduled at
the same site.
The 2016 priorities list includes both newly emerged topics as well as those continued
from 2015. The 2016 list again includes a section entitled: Funding Requests. Four
(4) water resource projects have been proposed based on community need to be
considered for an appropriation next year from the Florida Legislature.
Items on the list to monitor include issues from 2015 and past years that still have
relevancy that may arise again.

Collier County 2016 DRAFT State Legislative Priorities
Issues of Major Importance to Advocate:
1. Inland Oil Drilling&Fracking—The Board of County Commissioners (BCC)has
requested assistance from the Collier County Legislative Delegation to support legislation
that improves and strengthens state rules and regulations governing oil well drilling
activities. The BCC agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP)to jointly develop and support regulatory reforms in this industry is still valid.
2. Human Trafficking—Continue working with the Collier County Sheriff's Office to add
measures to the 2012 Florida Human Trafficking Law that improve and strengthen
current legislation. The Sheriff has proposed improved victim services, including both a
juvenile and a separate adult residential treatment with detox services,trauma counseling,
drug counseling, process addiction counseling, legal services and life skills coaching. He
also advised regional commanders to provide coordination and access to training.
3. Bike and Pedestrian Safety—Collier County will continue to work with Florida
Department of Transportation(FDOT)District One Secretary Billy Hattaway and the
Florida Legislature to increase bike and pedestrian safety.
4. University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS)—
Collier County supports the $3.5 million budget request made by OF/IFAS and the South
Florida Ag Council to the Florida Legislature for continued funding of the Southwest
Florida Research and Education Center.
5. Economic Development Initiatives — Collier County requests $5.5 million from the
Florida Legislature to support economic development initiatives.
A. Soft Landing Business Accelerator Network: Collier County supports additional state
legislative support at a S3.5 million level for Collier County's Soft Landing Accelerator
Network and the Immokalee segment of the project. Of the total funding request. the
Immokalee Food &Agribusiness will receive S2.2 million; the Naples Accelerator
Innovation Center will be allocated S1.3 million. The funding will be used for the
development. build-out, and equipment necessary for an applied food sciences laboratory
and commercial kitchen and packaging facilities.

B. Health and Life Sciences: Collier County requests S2 million in state funding to be
used in conjunction and collaboration with the Naples Soft Landing Accelerator Network,
Florida Gulf Coast University Small Business Development Center(SBDC),University
of Florida, Florida State University Immokalee Medical Center,Health Care Network of
Southwest Florida, support establishment of an applied health and life sciences center and
accelerator focused on the support and development of innovation companies,
technologies and products in the area of the human genome, nutrigenomics
nutraceuticals, and super foods.
6. Uber — Aligning with the Florida Association of Counties (FAC), Collier County
supports maintaining the integrity of home rule power, which allows counties to regulate
taxis, limousines, ride-sharing services, and jitneys for the purpose of public safety and
consumer protection. Conversely, the county opposes any effort that preempts to the state
the regulation of chauffeured limousines, limousine services, ride-sharing services, taxis,
and drivers of chauffeured limousines,taxis, or ride-sharing vehicles.
7. Article V—Collier County supports additional funding for courts.
Funding Requests:
Collier County is requesting funding allocations from 2016 Florida Legislature appropriations for
water quality projects identified as critical needs in the community. The following four(4)
projects have been identified based on deliberate,measured review:
I. Water Projects: Requesting:
A. Naples Park Phase II S 1,650,000
B. Golden Gate City S 700,000
C. Griffin Road 5 750,000
D. Haldeman Weir S 500,000
Direct state advocacy efforts on behalf of Collier County to include additional support for
legislative initiatives that increase opportunities for funding for local water resource projects with
direct state support or additional funding through the FDEP and the South Florida Water
Management District(SFWMD).

3
Issues to Monitor: The BCC, on behalf of Collier County citizens, advocates for the overall
principles of preserving the Home Rule authority of local governments; opposing state
Preemption;opposing Unfunded Mandates; and protecting against Trust Fund Diversions.
1. Gulf Consortium — Support Collier County's continued participation in the federal
RESTORE Act directives, including the State of Florida's Gulf Consortium. In the
Transocean civil settlement, Collier County is eligible for more than $900,000. The
federal court found British Petroleum (BP) to be "grossly negligent" in the Deepwater
Horizon tragedy of April 2010.
Collier County will be submitting a Grant request for Restore Act funding via Component 2
—Comprehensive Plan Component. This will be a significant funding request to execute a
comprehensive watershed improvement plan to restore historical watershed flow in the
County, improve water quality and restore habitat. The State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection is responsible for administration of the Restore Component 2—
Comprehensive Plan Component. They will provide the project evaluation and funding
recommendations to the Governor. Lobbying support will be required to successfully
secure this grant funding.
2. Utility Relocation Expense moved to Local Governments—Like the Florida
Association of Counties (FAC)and the Florida League of Cities (FLC),the county
opposes legislation requiring counties to pay for the relocation of private utilities when
such utilities are located within a county-owned right of way and must be moved to
accommodate a county project.
3. Tourism & Entertainment Incentives — Protect the current level of funding to VISIT
FLORIDA and support increased funding. Also, support Entertainment Incentives for
TV, film.
4. Growth Management& Impact Fees—Continue to support growth management
regulations and home rule authority over administration of Collier County's existing
impact fee program.
5. Public Record Requests — Request legislation adding to current public records law
119.07(1) a provision that includes Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) and
Paramedics as exemptions, like firefighters and law enforcement.
6. Communications Services Tax (CST)—Oppose any legislation that would reduce or
eliminate the CST; support present CST collections. Loss of CST represents $5 million
annual impact to Collier County.
7. Transportation — Oppose diverting funds from the State Transportation Trust Fund to
non-transportation projects. A total of$10.1 billion was funded for transportation items
for the current FY 2015-16, including$9.3 billion for the Work Program. Also, pursue an
increased return on dollars for Collier County. a long-time donor county.
Collier County appreciates the efforts of FDOT which continually faces tremendous
funding challenges in addressing the infrastructure needs of 67 Florida counties.
8. Libraries—Continue to support State Aid to Libraries and the Southwest Florida Library
Network(SWFLN). Last session, there was about$34 million in statewide allocations.
9.10.15

9. Gaming—Continue to monitor the new Seminole Gaming Compact being negotiated by
Governor Rick Scott and the Seminole tribe. Support at least three(3)%government
share of any future gaming proceeds to finance future infrastructure needs. The Seminole
gambling casino in Immokalee has plans to expand vertically.
10. Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling-Continue to support permanently prohibiting offshore
oil and gas drilling in Florida territorial waters,which are within nine(9) geographic
miles from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
11. Annexation of Isles of Capri and Collier Fire District into Greater Naples Fire
Rescue District—Collier County supports continued efforts to consolidate fire services
within the unincorporated county, and supports the annexation of Collier Fire District
(District One).

Staff Analysis of The Conservancy of Southwest Florida's Recommendations for Legislative
Priorities
Promoting Sustainable Growth
Slide 10
The request is to allow the DEO to reinstate the requirement that all amendments to GMP's have a basis in need and
needs analysis. Staff does not believe that the request will be met with a positive response based upon the prior course
of changing regulatory perspective at the state level, but even if it did, our GMP process still dictates that needs
analysis is a component of the application review and the change would only give the DEO an opportunity to deny a
petition based on that analysis. This request would go against home rule authority. (Michael Bosi)
Supporting Everglades Restoration
Slide 11
These projects are valid restoration projects that will benefit the greater Everglades system. The Caloosahatchee
Reservoir and Aquifer Storage and Recovery project will have a direct benefit for the southwest coast. We do not
know if funds for other projects or programs that could benefit Collier will be reduced to fund the Everglades
Restoration projects. Staff is supportive of these projects so long as they do not jeopardize funding for local projects
v,:*hin our functional watershed. (Bill Lorenz)
Addressing Water Quality Standards
Slide 12
While staff agrees that Total Maximum Daily Loads are essential for enforcing water quality standards, basin
management action plans (BMAPs) can be very expensive and time consuming to develop and implement. For
example, Lee County has spent $27.1 million implementing BMAP related capital projects over the last five (5) years.
This cost doesn't include the $131,500 per year cost of their Florida Yards and Neighbors and `'Don't Feed the
Monster" outreach programs, or other associated costs.
In addition to capital improvement projects. water quality improvement efforts that Collier County has voluntarily
implemented without BMAPs include:
• 25 years of surface water and groundwater quality monitoring:
• 2008 Very Intensive Study Area for the Cocohatchee impairment including septic system survey. pressure
testing sewer pipes, and snapshot sampling:
• Type II and III wastewater treatment plant compliance inspections:
• Private lift station compliance inspections:
• 2015 "Walk the WBID" and snapshot sampling for bacteria impairment. (WBID = Waterbody Identification
Area):
• Lake Trafford Management Team restoration and monitoring;
• Pollution Control's education and outreach program activities such as the Urban Stormwater Pond Management
training courses and classroom presentations;
• Stormwater inlet marking program;
• Ordinance No. 2011-24 (fertilizer ordinance) adoption:
• Municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) manning.
• Illicit discharge detection and elimination tr Packet Page -89-
9/22/2015 11 .A.
• Pollution complaint investigation program;
• Wellfield protection program; and
• MS4 maintenance program, i.e. street sweeping, swale cleaning, etc.
Staff would recommend caution in supporting the BMAP request due to the associated costs in developing formal
BMAPs.
Staff is not aware of proposed legislation that would transfer Florida Department of Environmental Protection's
(FDEP's) responsibilities to Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). (Bill Lorenz)
Preserving Local Fertilizer Standards
Slide 13
Collier County passed Ordinance No. 2011-24 based on the state model ordinance, but it differs from other regional
ordinances in areas including blackout periods, total nitrogen application limits, and slow release nitrogen fertilizer
requirements. Communication in June 2015 with FDACS and FDEP verified that the best available science does not
support stricter standards. FDEP did note that the last update to the state ordinance occurred in February 2015 and that
new ordinances should reference the entire rule 5E-1.003 F.A.C. instead of 5E-1.003(2) F.A.C. Collier County's
Ordinance 2011-24 will also need to be updated with that change.
Engineering and Natural Resources is in the process of joining the Fertilize Smart Education Consortium which will
allow us to utilize an existing advertising campaign that is very well done. Please visit the website
http://fertilizesmart.com and check out the television commercials.
Although Collier County's ordinance is based on the state model, staff would not recommend legislation preempting
local governments from having more stringent and protective fertilizer ordinances. As a general principle, it is useful
to allow counties to adopt more stringent standards if desired. As such. staff recommends maintaining home rule
authority. (Bill Lorenz)
Managing Stormwater
Slide 14
The draft Statewide Stormwater rule addresses the statewide trend of increasing nutrient concentrations in state waters.
The proposed rule would allow for local regulations to be more stringent. Staff supports maintaining updated regulatory
language that includes the latest science and is properly vetted with stakeholders. (Bill Lorenz)

5. Economic Development Initiatives—Collier County requests $5.5 million in funding from the Florida
Legislature to support economic development initiatives.
A. Soft Landing Business Accelerator Network: $3.5 Million
Immokalee Food&Agribusiness 52.2 Million
Collier County supports additional state legislative support for Collier County's Soft Landing Accelerator
Immokalee food science lab and commercial kitchen. The funding will be used for the development, build-out,
and equipment necessary for an applied food sciences laboratory and commercial kitchen and packaging facilities
that will support the creation and commercialization of new food products and delivery mechanisms. The
addition of enhanced capacity for food laboratory quality and safety analytical equipment will greatly complement
the current progress of our business accelerator network. The collaboration among local government, educational
institutions and private business in agricultural and technology related business diversification will render long-
term economic advances in the Collier County and Southwest Florida economies by advancing innovation in

NAPLES PARK AREABASIN INFRASTRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION FOR
STORMWATER, WATER AND SEWER
DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE:
To improve collection, treatment and conveyance of stormwater runoff; to replace water
distribution mains, aging asbestos-concrete pipes, and add fire hydrants; and to replace
aged wastewater mains, force mains and pump stations within the Naples Park
Community. Previous phases have been completed over the past years. The next phase
will include improvements along 95th and 96th avenues.
CONSIDERATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This program integrates stonnwater, water and wastewater improvements within the
Naples Park Community. The community has a main stormwater outfall, but the internal
street and side collection system is in poor condition.
The stormwater component will eliminate undersized and aged culverts, address
elevation issues, and improve water quality. Stormwater runoff from Naples Park
discharges into Vanderbilt Lagoon, an impaired water body.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Achieve capital improvement efficiencies; maximize community convenience; flooding
remediation; coastal community resilience to mitigate climate hazards; water quality
improvement; minimization of potable water interruptions; improvement and protection
of potable water distribution; provide better fire protection system; assure and improve
wastewater collection system; and minimization of sanitary system overflows in
environmentally sensitive areas.
FUNDING REQUEST:
$1,650,000 (25%)
COUNTY CONTRIBUTION:
$4.950,000
Total estimated construction cost: $6.600,000
(Stormwater: $1.600,000; Water: $2.000,000; Wastewater: $3,000,000)

GOLDEN GATE CITY STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE:
To improve collection, treatment and conveyance of stormwater runoff by upgrading the
existing 50-year-old system within the 4-square mile area known as Golden Gate City
(GGC). GGC is divided into four (4) quadrants: northwest, northeast, southwest and
southeast. Previous phases have been completed over the past years. The next phase will
include improvements/projects in the northwest and northeast quadrants.
CONSIDERATIONSBACKGROUND:
The existing stonnwater system in GGC was installed over 50 years ago. Much of the
system has exceeded the end of its typical life span and is in need of replacement. Due to
severe deterioration of the system, pipe segment failures are creating areas of ground
subsidence causing soil and pavement to sink creating safety issues, and blockages in the
system causing street and yard flooding.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Flooding remediation, community resilience, reduce safety issues, reduce maintenance
associated with current system failures, and improve community convenience, improve
water quality prior to discharge into the Golden Gate main Canal and ultimately the
sensitive waters of Naples Bay.
FUNDING REQUEST:
$700,000 (50%)

GRIFFIN ROAD AREA STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE:
To retrofit stormwater infrastructure of an older residential area in East Naples in order to
improve collection, treatment and conveyance of stormwater runoff prior discharging into
the sensitive receiving waters of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
CONSIDERATIONSBACKGROUND:
The project is to improve water quality while providing an adequate stormwater system
outfall for the older residential areas of Barefoot Williams Road, Price Street and Griffin
Road. Currently, stormwater from the affected areas discharges into state-owned lands
without water quantity and quality control or treatment. The project involves the
construction of a filter marsh which will receive runoff from the affected areas prior
discharging into Rookery Bay. This is a retrofit project which includes reconstruction of
the roadside stormwater management system, improving the downstream outfall
conveyance system, and creating a stormwater treatment filter marsh designed to improve
water quality prior to discharging into Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research
Reserve.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Multi jurisdictional impact (coordination between Collier County and Rookery Bay),
improve community convenience, flooding remediation, improve water quality,
environmental restoration, and ecological protection.
FUNDING REQUEST:
$750,000
COUNTY CONTRIBUTION:

HALDEMAN CREEK WEIR REPLACEMENT PROJECT
DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE:
To replace and relocate the Haldeman Creek Weir in order to provide dry and wet season
fresh water discharges into Naples Bay while providing flood control upstream of
Haldeman Creek.
CONSIDERATIONSBACKGROUND:
This project consist of design and replacement of an existing surface water management
control structure located at the fresh water / salt water interface of Haldeman creek just
north of US 41 in East Naples. The structure has reached the end of its useable life cycle
and is in need of full replacement; it has structural and mechanical deficiencies, as well as
operational and maintenance issues. The structure establishes the control elevation and
the discharge rate for a 1,300-acre built-out basin developed over forty years ago. The
structure is subject to overtopping and back flow during high tides from the downstream
tidal segment of Haldeman creek.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Flooding remediation, tidal water backflow prevention, and coastal community resilience
to mitigate climate hazards, restoration of water management operational goals including
dry season water supply storage, control of fresh water discharges into sensitive receiving
waters. and allowing for emergency wet season water releases necessary for a system pre-
storm drawdown.
