Co. missioner Shanahan moved, seconded by Comtsstonsr Hums and carried unani~ousl¥, that the Proclamation recognizing October 22 - 29, 1989 aa Red Ribbon Week be adopted. Ms. Pam Howard, Naples Informed Parents, advised that Red Ribbon Week is a nationally selected week. She noted that information is available on drugs, and there will be presentations on how to keep children from becoming involved with drugs, rather than rehabilitating them. Commissioner Saunders commented that the County Commission ~s dedicated to doing its part to fight the use of illegal drugs and the local ~:ommuntt¥ must make an effort to accomplish that resolve, and the Naples Informed Parents did a tremendous Job. Page 3 October 17, 1989 RESOLUTION 89-290, PETITION PU-88-12C, SHELTER FORABUSED#OHE]I Ol COLLIER COUNTY, INC.: REVIEIq OF, AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON, COMPREKEN$IVE REPORT ON THE OPERATIONS OY THE SHELTER FOR ABUSED k'OMNlq AS STIPULATED BY RESOLUTION 88-262, PERTAINING TO THE FACILITY LOCATED #EST OF PELTON STREET ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF LEE STREET - ADOPTED AND SHELTER TO CONTINUE OPERATING: PROVISIONAL USE TO BE RLeVlET~ED AT ~ ~ZRST ~ETINO OF THE BO_.AR.~_~ COUlqTY CON~ilSSIONER$ A.~TER 7/31/90 David Weeks, Project Planner, advised that the provisional use for this shelter for abused women had been approved one year ago, and the Board of County Commissioners, concerned about the Impacts of this use on the surrounding area, based on concern of the citizens of the area, stipulated that on October 11, 1989, the petitioner shall present a complete and comprehensive report Including any police complaints and neighbor complaints. He explained that the report was to be formally presented and discussed at an advertised public hearing, at which time the Board of County Commissioners would 1) take no action; or 2) take such action deemed necessary, Including a revocation and cancellation of the use, or the imposition of additional conditions. He reported that Staff's report contains a list of the directors of the facility, newspaper articles, who can and cannot be admitted to the shelter, and brief Incidents that the Sheriff has reported. He explained that the aemorandum and Incidence report of Sheriff Hunter's are also provided, and he made 3 visits to the site and the Compliance Services Section was contacted to see if any zoning violations existed. He stated that two condtticn~ were not met: 1) removal of exotic species and vegeta- tion, and 2) the planting of a wax myrtle hedge around the parking lot. He reported that at his site visit yesterday, the wax myrtle hedge had been planted, most of the Brazilian Pepper removed and workers were removing the rest of the exotic vegetation. He Indicated that Staff has found that the use Is still appropriate and compatible and recommends that the provisional use be allowed on site. Commissioner Hasse pointed out that the building has not been occupied for a full year, and Mr. Weeks replied that there have been 3-1/2 months of actual occupancy. Commissioner Saunders and Page 4 October 17, 1989 Commissioner Shanahan commented that taking no action today ts a defi- nite action, because the provisional uae will continue. Commissioner Volpe stated that the decision that the Board of County Commissioners made October 10, 1988 ts tn litigation tn Circuit Court. County Attorney Cuyler concurred, and replied that the petitioner made certain representations to the Board of County Commissioners as to how the land use would affect the neighborhood and the Board agreed with the petitioner that it was an appropriate land use. He explained that the Board wanted additional comfort by looking at the situation a year later to make sure that the representations were correct. Commissioner Saunders commented that the petitioner has no vested rights in the continuation of this provisional use, and County Attorney Cuyler replied that the Board can look at the evi- dence, take action approving the use or take action deemed necessary if the representations were not correct. In response to Commissioner Hasse's question about the organiza- tion not occupying the site for more than one-quarter of the period of ttm.~ allocated, Attorney Cuyler replied that the Board could Indicate ~ n~du more time to look at the s~tuatton. Dr. Neno Spagna, representing the Shelter for Abused Women, stated that there were 10 conditions established for operation of the faci- lity and all the conditions have been met. He reported that the Brazilian Pepper bush referred to has been removed and the petitioner ts here today to demonstrate beyond any question that all of the requirements have been fulfilled to be compatible and good nelghbors. Attorney John Passtdomo, Frost & Jacobs, stated that this shelter ts a long overdue solution to the crucial need in our community, he requested that the record of last year be incorporated by reference into this hearing, ellmlnattng the need to recall the same witnesses today. In response to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney Cuyler stated that he had no problem from the legal perspective considering that as part of this record. He reported that many community leaders Page 5 October l?, 1989 addressed the Board acquainting them with the need for a safe home for the victims of domestic violence in Collier County. He advised that operation of the safe home and the exhaustive way the site was chosen was noted and they agreed with recommendations of the Planning Staff, and the recommendations of the CCPC, the intensity of land use would not change from a 4 unit apartment building to a safe home, less traffic would be generated by the proposed use, and thereafter, investigation of the facts, there were no safety or security concerns. He explained that Executive Directors from Safe Homes throughout the State emphasized that in all their time in working in Safe Homes, not one had ever experienced a violent incident near or in a safe home. He stated that a Marriage Therapist with a Ph.D testified that the psychological profile of an abuser ts that they batter their wives in the privacy of their own homes and shun public exposure, posing no threat to the safety of a safe home. He reported that speculation and fears were expressed about how the Safe Home would operate. He indi- cated that the shelter welcomed the opportunity to prove that it could be a ~ood neighbor. He reported that financing was arranged for acquisition of the property, paid a purchase price of $221,000 and closed on the property in January, 1989, continued fund raising efforts, hired and Executive Director, trained volunteers, made physi- cal improvements to the property, obtained grant from United Way and others, certification from HRS and opened for business on June 1, 1989, taking people into the facility on June 26, 1989. He emphasized that the shelter has abided in good faith to the letter with the con- dttions imposed by the Board of County Commissioners. He stated that the condition of having to return today has Impeded the ability to raise funds, demoralized Staff, distracting them from provision of services to their clients, invaded the privacy of the victims and pro- longed a volatile neighborhood antagonism. Commissioner Saunders commented that he took offense to the impli- cation that the Board has violated the privacy of the clients, etc. Page 6 October 17, 1989 Attorney Passidomo Indicated that a by-product of the stipulated, nego- tiated settlement, had adverse Impacts with which he wanted to acquaint the Board. He indicated that the purpose of this hearing is to determine whether the October 1989 report indicates any of the violent incidents feared, but never substantiated. He emphasized that the Safe Home ts a peaceful, good neighbor, has held up their end of the bargain, and if the Board of County Commissioners finds no indica- tions of violence, the shelter ts entitled to permanent status. SPEAKERS FOR THE PETITION Linda Beckwith, Pres., Shelter Linda Winston, Executive Director Tape #2 Sherry Houston Patricia Gerard Sharon Metcalf Charlotte Westman Jeanne Brooker Linda Osmundson SPEAKERS AGAINST TEE PETITION Debbie Crockett JoAnn Savage Judy Anne Blake Jill Irminger Flavius L. Ransone Kelli Crockett George Keller The ~easons cited In favor of the Petition were as follows: tnct- dent free operation, all stipulated conditions were complied with, shelter ts a safe operation, alcohol and drugs are not allowed at the Shelter, women are screened, less incidents tn a fourplex used for shelter than in an apartment building, counseling and emotional sup- port provided to women in shelter, and no incidents of violence at this shelter or other Shelters for Abused Women. The reasons cited against the Petition were as follows: mental anguish due to location tn suburban area, privacy Invaded, occurrence of disturbing incidents, not compatible with the surrounding neigh- borhood, explanations required to children about abused women, decline of property values, shelter has made people angry and bitter, shelter does not interact with character of neighborhood, shelter should be in non-residential area, and neighborhood children cannot ride bikes, nor play outside. A discussion followed regarding abused women shelters tn loca- tions outside of Collier County, their locations In mixed use areas, sizes and capacities, average length of stay, number of children Page 7 October lT. 1989 living in shelter, and how mothers provide day care for pre-school children. Anthony Ptres, Jr., Woodward & Woodward, Attorney for the pro- perty owners and residents of the area and vicinity of the shelter, stated that many of the residents will be testifying to the change of attitude and atmosphere in the neighborhood. He reported that this is a stable, cohesive neighborhood. He stated that the Board of County Commissioners has had the opportunity to review the transcript, and Attorney Cuyler advised Attorney Passtdomo that whatever happens now the Board cannot vest any rights regarding the determination made at the end of that time period. He emphasized that the focal point is 12 months of operation of this facility, not the 3-1/4 months that it has been in operation. He indicated that some of the stipulations had not been complied with, i.e. the wax myrtle hedge and removal of the exotics, until Compliance Services made a site inspection in preparation for this hearing. He reported that this facility has not been harmonious, has been destructive, and there is no interaction between the neighborhood and the facility. He reported that Mr. and Mrs. Crockett visited and video-taped shelters In Veto Beach, St. Pierce, West Palm Beach, and Delray Beach (video tape provided to Clerk to the Board). He stated that he and his clients were told that other shelters were similarly situated throughout the State. He explained that the other shelters are located in areas that are not similarly situated, and evidence was introduced last year, i.e. the Fort Myers shelter ts located near Page Field, a shelter in Charlotte County is located on a through road near offices and schools, and the West Palm Beach shelter is next to the Courthouse. He reported that the shelters were difficult to locate, because the location is kept secret. He emphasized that this shelter ts not situated similar to other shelters located in the State. Attorney Plres advised that the function of this apartment P&ge 8 October 17, 1989 complex is completely different than it was when It was a multi- family use and does not fit Into the neighborhood. He stated that he and his clients were promised that strict rules and regulations on behavior would be enforced by the Director. He noted that it is located tn the heart of a residential area with numerous dead-end streets. He explained that the Board of County Commissioners can determine, based upon what they hear, the report given and related evidence, whether or not the shelter should remain, be rescinded, or additional conditions imposed on its operation. 'eeDeput%~ Clerk Hoffman replaced Deputy Clerk Kraft at this timeess Commissioner Volpe questioned the number of clients that have been provided shelter since June? Ms. Winston replied that the shelter has taken tn 30 women and 36 children from June until today, and noted that the average stay ts 2-3 weeks. In aaewer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Winston advised that the average age of the children at the shelter is 4 years old, noting that there, have been a lot of older children recently, ages ? through 9. Commissioner Volpe asked what arrangements are made for the pre- school children? Ms. Winston stated that the mothers care for their own children, but in the event the mother is working, the shelter works with other agencies to seek additional child care, if needed. Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the shelter ts adequately funded for the next year? Ms. Winston replied affirmatively, and noted that the shelter receives funding from United Way, HRS, Victims of Crime Act, and private donations. Commissioner Volpe asked if the clients are charged for use of the facility? Ms. Winston stated that the clients are not charged. She explained that there is a rule tn Florida with HRS that the clients in' a battered women's shelter cannot be charged, but noted that contribu- tions may be accepted. In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Winston advised that she ts generally at the shelter until 6:00 P.M., and then she is relieved by Page 9 OctoBer another staff member. She indicated that the shelter has paid staff, 24 hours per day. Commissioner Volpe questioned what types of activities are con- ducted at the shelter? Ms. Winston stated that counseling, and group sessions are provided. Commissioner maunders called Detective Rosa Hernandez of the Sheriff's Office to the podium. In answer to Commissioner Saunders, Detective Rernandez stated that the records of the Sheriff's Office reflect that there have been no violent Incidents at the shelter since it has opened. Commissioner Rases questioned whether Detective Hernandez has had the opportunity to speak with any of the neighbors on Manorca Avenue? Detective Rernandez replied that Lieutenant Riley has met with the neighbors to confirm any type of complaints and to determine whether there have been any incidents which required law enforcement services. She Ind,.cared that at the time Lieutenant Riley met with the neighbors he di~covered that there were no incidents which required par- tictpatton by the Sheriff's Office. She advised that the copy of the ~arch for Manorca Avenue, which ha~ been submitted by the Sheriff's Office, reflects suspicious incident reports, but noted that she can- not confirm what those reports are tn reference to. ''' Recess 11:15 A.M. - Reconvened 11:30 A.M. ''' Attorney Passidomo stated that the shelter is a safer, and better neighbor than the four-unit housing apartment that was previously at that location. He provided a copy of a report of incidents on Manorca Avenue as a point of reference, from January 1, 1988 through the current date. He advised that tn January, 1988, there were 8 inci- dents at 2559 Manorca Avenue, and several other incidents throughout the neighborhood. He noted that the second page of the report reflects an Incident at the subject address on July 21, 1989, adding that this call to the Sheriff's Office was made by the Executive Director of the shelter because there were pickets at the location, Page lO October 17, 1989 and the Staff wanted to make sure that those pickets did not get out of hand. Attorney Passidomo indicated that a simple reading of Resolution 88-262 will frame the issue for today: that the first hearing after October 11, 1989, the shelter was to present a report to the Boerd of County Commissioners as to whether there are violent Incidents, and the answer is that there are no violent incidents. He advised that he believes that there is an opportunity to heal the adversity in the neighborhood. Commissioner Volpe noted that when reading the transcript from the October 11, 1988, meeting, it seemed to be the impression of some of the Commissioners that there was a shelter in the City of Naples, pre- viously, and it was operational for 6 months which was for the purpose of establishing a track record. He indicated that he is uncertain If this window is a sufficient period of time for him to evaluate the concerns that were expressed by the former Board of County Commis~ioners. Mr. Passidomo stated that he cannot argue that this is or ks not a sufficient amount of time, but the shelter is bound by the land,lags ~n the Resolution which says that this is the amount of t~me. Attorney Anthony Pires advised that he concurs with Commissioner Volpe and other members of the Commission that the intent was that there would be one full year of operation. He indicated that Lt. Riley had told him that there are no special arrangements regarding /aw enforcement with the Sheriff~s Office. He noted that at a rest- dents' meeting earlier this year, Lt. Riley told those in attendance that St. Matthewts House had recently been closed down, and that home- less were staying at the shelter on Manorca Avenue. He advised that the problem is that confirmation cannot be made since those records cannot be obtained since they are confidential. Attorney Pires referred to the report of incidents regarding Manorca Avenue, noting that the reckless driver incident at 25?0 Page October 17, 1989 Manorca Ave. on August 28, 1989, was tn fact a woman speeding out of the shelter, who ran two stop signs, made a U-turn, came back, ran two more stop signs, pulled into the shelter, and almost rsn over Kelly Crockett and two other children who were playing tn the street. He noted that in attempting to obtain a copy of the report from the Sheriffts Office, he was told that a verbal warning was given, but no written report was necessary. He explained that a Provisional Use ts to be tn harmony with the neighborhood, and the shelter ts totally disharmonious. He noted that even though the shelter has only been tn operation since June 26, 1989, it has been disruptive and dishar- monious. He explained that if the Commission is not Inclined to rescind the prior Commission's action, and restore the community to that which it once was, he suggests that another condition be Imposed so that the shelter will be under a magnifying glass for another 8-9 months. Deputy Storrar stated that Sheriff Hunter regrets that he cannot be In attendance at today's meeting, but he would like the Contmtsston to be advised that he does support a spouse abuse resource tn Collier County. Commissioner H&eee loved, seconded by Contsatone~ Shan~ and carried unanllously, that the public hearing be closed. Commissioner Hasse stated that there is no question that there ts a need for an abused spouse center in Collier County. He Indicated that he visited the shelter and it was clean and well run, noting that he has no problem with that aspect, but when looking at a resi- dential area which now has an atmosphere of disruption and unhap- piness, he does have concerns. He explained that he does not feel that 3-1/2 months is sufficient time to determine whether or not this area is going to be impacted in a violent way. Commissioner Shanahan stated that his concerns are the time frame, and what the intent of the Commission was last October; the lit/gat/on which is tn progress; and those of the homeowners, and how they feel. Page 12 October [?0 ~989 Comnissioner Hasse moved, seconded b~ the shelter continue to operate until ~uly 31, 2990, and the ?/s~/go. Commissioner Volpe voiced his concern about the preservation residential neighborhoods. He noted that tn this Instance the finding has been made by the prior Commission, that this use is compattblb with the surrounding residential neighborhood. He Indicated that he is uncertain what purpose would be served, other than delaying for another 9 months, the decision as to whether the Provisional Use should remain. Commissioner Saunders stated that there are many social problems In Collier County, and it ts very fortunate that people such as those that are in support of the shelter are willing to spend their time and their money to help local government solve these problems. He advised that last week he made a site visit to the shelter unan- nounced, noting that he was very impressed with the cleanliness. He e~plained that he believes that the intrusion Into the neighborhood is potentially less than if there were four unrelated families living tn the [object units. Commissioner Volpe questioned when Judicial determination can be anticipated relating to the resolution? Assistant County Attorney Wilson advised that a Writ of Certiorari has been filed in conjunction with a declaratory Judgment action. She noted that the Writ ts now pending Judge Blackwell's determination. She explained that if the outcome of the Writ leads to a trial on the declaratory Judgment, it will probably occur in the next 5-6 months. County Attorney Cuyler stated that If the motion passes, this will be done in the form of a resolution, and he will reference the Board's action and Incorporate the same stipulations, the requirement for a public hearing, and that a report to be presented to the Commission. Upon call for the question, the aotton carried unaniaou~l¥, Page October 17, 1989 thereby &dopt~ng Resolution 89-290 with stipulations to be ~ncor- porated by the County Attorney, Page October l?. 1989 STAF~ TO PREPARE RESOLUTION ~ LETTER TO 80UTN FLORIDA ~A~ ~~ DIS~ICT ~ ~ ~C'S DESI~S ~G~IN~ WA~R ~S~I~IONS ~ ~~ S~ AT ~C ~IN~ OF Commissioner Shanahan advised that he has had a number of requests over the ~aet year for a change ~n reetr~ctiom usage fo= water on Ma~co Island. He explained that ~t was felt unanimously from the Island residents that the t~mes were very poorly chosen, and as a result, defeated the purpose of water restrictions and consumption. M=. M~ton Leonard, P=es~dent, Marco Island Civic Assoc~atfon, stated that he ~s presenting a =equest on behalf of the Assoc~ation for a variance from ~he current regulations ~n case water restrictions a=e required. Mr. Leonard read a letter dated July 3, 1989, from Mr. Creel, of the South Florfda Water Management D~str~ct, thanking him for h~s letters of June 6th and 14th, regarding the need for a change ~n gat/on hou,;u on Ma=co Island. He explained that M=. Creel states that he ~s ~ook~ng forward to receiving the variance request to continue thei= efforts with the Civic Association, the County, and the to effec~/vely manage water resouFces ee~ving Marco Island. Mr. Leona=d ~ndicated that Marco Is/and residents went through a ve=y u~ff~cult period last year w~th regards to sanitation, could not be flushed, laundry could not be done, and d~shwashers could not be run. He advised that th~s resulted ~n a e~zeable property loss associated w~th the lack of water pressure. He explained that MICA has worked with the Marco Island Utility and the Public Service Commission, who endorses the prog=am, and so advised the South Florida Water Management D~str~ct. Mr. Leonard stated that he spoke w~th Mr. Charles Woods, President of Topeka's Florfda Utilities, and noted that he is very of MICA's efforts ~o do something about changing the irrigation sche- dule. Mr. Leonard reported that MICA's proposal ~e that ~f wats= Page 15 October 17, 1989 restrictions should be necessary before the foregoing supply increases, a change in the previously used Irrigation scheduled is proposed. He noted that MICA suggests dividing the Island Into three zones: Zone ! would irrigate on two days of the week; Zone 2 would irrigate on another two days; and Zone 3 would irrigate on another two days. He advised that the even number addresses could possibly ~rrt- gate from 2:00 A.M. until 6:00 A.M., and the odd numbered addresses could irrigate from 6:00 A.M. until 10:00 A.M. He noted that th~a system would reduce the number of persons Irrigating at one time by a factor of three, and should have a very favorable impact on pressure during the irrigation hours. He stated that if these restr~ctions could be implemented, the results would be: 1. A sav~ngs in water consumption. 2. The Sheriff's function ~n monitoring the restrictions would be facilitated, and only 1/3 of the Island would be patrolled at any given t~me as opposed to the entire Island. 3. Thc serious loss of lawns through inadequate irrigation and low pressure wouId be alleviated. Commi~lsioner Shanahan stated that if the variance is approved, this could be a test for future models for the rest of the County. Commissioner Saunders indicated that he believes that Mr. Leona~.d's suggestions are very good, but they may not necessarily be the best approach. He stated that he believes that the Commission should endorse the concept of requesting a change tn the SFWMD's requirements, and that the County Manager be directed to meet with the Marco Island Civic Association to ascertain a watering schedule which makes sense from the perspective of the Island res/dents as well as that of the water supply. He explained that once the schedule ts pre- pared, it should be presented to the Commission for the adoption of a resolution requesting SFWMD to consider that for the subject area, ~n the event of water restrictions. Uti/it/es Administrator Arnold stated that on August 29, 1989, Staff was instructed to formally inquire to the SFWMD as to what their plane were for the coming season regarding the restructuring of any Page 16 October 17, 1989 restrictions. He advised that he received a response from the District on October 16th, noting that they are not looking to revise the structure of the restrictions in the coming year since they do not have the time to implement this. He explained that the District will entertain variances, specifically for Marco Island. He advised that the variance plan has been put together by the Utilities Division, and formally submitted to the District, and noted that he ts awaiting a Staff determination as to whether or not they will support this to the Governing Board. Commissioner Saunders recommended that this be presented to the Commission tn the form of a resolution, so that the District will be advised that the Governing Body has formally sdopted a resolution encouraging the variance to be approved. Commissioner Shah·ban stated that it appears that everyone desires approval of the variance, and he recommended that a resolution be pre- sented, as suggested by Commissioner Saunders, so that this position can formally be adopted. It we~ the consensu~ of the Co·lesion that Staff prepare · re.o- seating for the Chair~an's signature, which will for~allF notify SFWMD of the Board's desires on this imbue. Its· #8B ASSKS~ OF LIEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $120 FOR WEED ABATEMENT ON LOT 7, BLOCE 203, GOLDEN GATE UNIT NO. 6, PART I, OWNED BY FRANCISCO AND ~UGUSTINA GONZA~I~ - APPROVED Commissioner Saunders advised that this item was heard last week, and Staff was directed to determine whether the lot that had been cut, and witnessed by a person as stated by Mr. Gonzalez, was tn fact the subject lot. Community Development Services Administrator Brutt explained that no contact has been made with the witness, however, he noted that Code Compliance Supervisor Clark looked at the subject lot in question. He advised that Staff has pictures of the lot and the house behind it. October IT, 1989 He stated that Staff is satisfied that the proper lot was mowed tn 1987. County Manager Dorrill advised that the name of the former neigh- bor was provided, and Staff did make an attempt to contact him, but were unable to do so. There were no speakers to this item.

NC~Y & ASSOC., FOR S~ING 5~CES FOR P~T Project Review Services Manager MadaJewski stated that this item is a request for an emergency contract, due to the resignation of Bob Richmond, County staff surveyor. He advised that Mr. Richmond's ser- vices were utilized by Project Review Services Staff in reviewing plate for subdivision improvements to ensure that they are in con- curreuce with the regulations of Florida Statutes Chapter Mr. MadaJewsk! informed the Board that Finance Director Yonkosky stated that surveying services do not seem to be required, and questioned whether an existing employee could be instructed on review criteria? He advised that F.S. Section 177.071 states that any review of survey data which is done by the County, must be done by a registered land surveyor, and cannot be done by light Staff. In answer to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. MadaJewsk! indicated that it will take approximately three months to get a contract together, noting that formal RFP's for services will be sent out. County Attorney Cuyler advised that the time period can be taken care of by a termination clause with two weeks notice, and also that there is no conflict of interest. Page 18 October l?, 1989 Commissioner Volpe stated that hie concern is that a former County employee has gone to the other side of the table and w~ll be providing the same services that he was providing while he was an employee of the County. He Indicated that he does not question the integrity of the people involved. Mr. MadaJewski affirmed that the only reason that the Commission is being presented the subject request is to keep consistency w~th this operation, and it ts an emergency. Cmiesioner Saunders ~oved, seconded by Couteeioner Shanahan and carried unanimously, to declare that a valid public emergency exSeto; that the selection and negotiation process for contracting for pro- feaetonal services be w~ived; and that Staff negotiate a contract with #illiu C. McAnl¥& Associates for professional ~urveytng services for plat revtew~ for a period not to exceed six months or an a~ount not to exceed $~2,000. Page October 17, 1989 Ite~tgCl ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COLLIER COUNTY FORESTER - ACCEPTED Collier County Forester Anderson stated that he appreciates the opportunity to update the Commission on the services of the County Forester. He advised that through a Cooperative Agreement with the County, the State of Florida places a Forester in Collier County. He noted that his duties are to provide professional and technical advice on tree related concerns to County staff and the general public. He Informed the Board that he also has responsibilities with the Division of Forestry in the area of fire control and forest management. Forester Anderson explained that two of the projects for the coming year are tree protection around construction sites, and fuel reduction for wild fire prevention and control. He reported that over the past several years, his department has experienced excellent cooperation with all County offices, and expressed his appreciation and thanks to all that have made this possible. $~ Co"r'iasloner Saunders left the rosa at 12:25 P.M. ee$ Commissioner Haese called attention to the fire towers on Radio Road and Randall Boulevard, and questioned what is anticipated for those sites? Mr. Anderson replied that he understands that nego- tiations are in process between the County and the State office, tn attempt to work out agreements which will allow exchanges and the development of the properties, but he does not have all the details. He advised that development ts anticipated within a very short period of time. Commissioner Shanahan noted that Mr. Anderson is involved in the Lethal Yellow Program by planting trees that are lethal yellowing resistant, and questioned how this is done? Mr. Anderson stated that there have been coconut palms that have been exposed to the lethal yellowing disease that do not show evidence of contracting the disease. He noted that the Division of Forestry has a coconut seed nursery tn Miami, and they are pursuing a breeding program to propagate Page 20 October 17, 1989 lethal yellowing resistant varieties of coconut palms. Forester Anderson advised that the Division's efforts An forest management tn Collier County have been minimized due to the vast amount of construction, as well as other agricultural activities.

In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Utilities Administrator Arnold advts, fd that tn this instance, the first leg of the water project involved the road design pro3ect, and Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll& Peek, Inc. was the engineer for that design. He explained that from a cost savings standpoint, it ts logical to roll the water main design Into that project. e.e Co~issioner Saundera returned to the meeting at this tame ese County Attorney Cu¥1er stated that the Board needs to find from the factors as Indicated by Mr. Arnold that this consultant knows the operation, and also that from all the circumstances, that this ks suf- ficient ground to declare an emergency. He advised that generally, if the local government finds that there is an emergency, the courts nor- mally will not overturn that decision.

Solid waste Management Supervisor Russell 8tared that four respon- ses to the bid were received. He noted that the low bidder was Kelly Tractor Co., but they did not meet the essential specifications. He advised that the lowest bidder meeting essential specifications was Naples Rent-All & Sales Co., Inc., and Staff ts recommending the award of Bid #89-1467 to said company in the amount of $19,262.85.

Item #9G2 STATUS REPORT ON THE GROUND WATER PROTECTZOR ORDZNANCE - REPORT &CCEPTED; STAFF RECO~NDATZONS APPROVED Environmental Services Administrator Lorenz stated that since April of 1987, when the Commission created the Ground Water Protection Technical Advisory Committee, through August 29, 1989, thte committee met 40 times tn developing the Ground Hater Protection Ordinance as a Land Development Regulation to protect the wellftelds. Mr. Lorenz explained that the Ground Water Modeling Study will be used for Land Development Regulations, and the ordinance will specify standards and criteria for land use and facilities, citing require- ments within the protection zones. Mr. Lorenz advised that In April, 1989, a draft of the ordinance was sent to Interested parties, and two public workshops were held tn June and July, 1989 for subsequent revision of the ordinance and the technical Input. He explained that the County Attorney's Office, Utilities, and Environmental Services Division agreed that there ts Page 23 October l?, 1989 the need for a legal review by outside counsel with expertise in this area. He stated that a draft was sent to the firm of Peeples, Earl & Blank for review, noting that they have provided a number of recommen- dations as listed In the Executive Summary. Mr. Lorenz informed that the County Attorney's Office is recom- mending that specific expertise be used through outside legal counsel to provide Staff with the needed revisions to the ordinance. He explained that there is an additional recommendation through the legal assessment, that a technical peer review be made of the modeling methodology to ensure that if the ordinance is challenged, another hurdle will have been accomplished. Mr. Lorenz advised that no funds have been allocated for this effort, but Staff anticipates receiving a grant from DCA in the amount of $48,000 for the development of Land Development Regulations. Mr. Lorenz stated that Staff is recommending that the Commission allow the Ground Water Protection Committee Advisory Committee to con- tinue as a quorum for informal workshops as the revisions are being ma~e~ authorize Staff to contract with legal counsel to assist in the peer review of the ground water model, and provide a rigorous legal analysis and revise the drafts to ensure that there is a valid ordi- nance; and establish a series of workshops to brief the Commiss~on on progress and the emerging issues. In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Lorenz indicated that if the grant is not received from DCA, Staff will come back to the Commiss~on and request monies from the genera/ fund. Comminsioner Saunders stated that he has no problem with seeking outside counsel, but he would want the County Attorney to be involved with the recommendation of same. Commissioner Volpe mentioned that Lee County has a ground water protection ordinance, and questioned whether Staff is aware of the process that they went through? Mr. Lorenz replied that Staff has been reviewing Lee County's ordinance, as well as other ordinances, Page 24 October l?, 1989 noting that he feels comfortable with the technics! issues, but the legal Implications are where he looks to the County Attorney's Office. Co~iseloner Shanahan ~ovad, seconded b~ Com~iss%onsr aoodn%ght and c~rr~ed unanimously, to accept the reco~endat~on of 8taft, ae pr~ly ~ndtcated ~ Nr. Lores. It~3 ~~ ~ ~DIA ~ ~TIN~ ~LIC ~TIO~ INC. - ~~ Commissioner Saundere adv~ee~ that ~nit~al~ he had concerns that $55,000 would be spent between now and the end of December for public relation services that are outlined ~n the contract. He noted that he has reviewed the Scope of Services, and he believes that ~t contains a fair amount of issues that can be done tn-house. In addftfon, he noted that he is concerned that a pub/lc relations campa]~ ~e being developed to promote something, but that something ham not yet been determined. He stated that he is unsure what th~e public relations campai~ will accomplish. Environmental Services Administrator Lorenz stated that the long teTm recycling program has not been finalized, but ~n the ~nte~m, Staff believes that there should be public awareness to understand the need to separate their mater~al. Co~ssfoner Saundere stated that he d~e~lkee the ~dea of con- vinc~ng the public that they have to separate their eol~d wastes, and then two weeks later ~f a facility ~s dec~ded upon which w~ll separate the sol~d wastes, ~t will be a waste of $55,000. Commissioner Saunders questioned whether the ~rant funds can be carried over to 1990 if they are not expended th~s year? Mr. Lorenz replied that there ~s a requirement that the total funds mu~t be used by December 3~, 1989. In answer to Commissioner Vo]pe, Mr. Lorenz advised that 20~ of the Sol~d Waste Grant must go toward public re,at,one [or recycl~n~ awareness. Commissioner Sau.~e=s s~a~e~ one ~h~ng ~hat ~he Co~so~o. needs 0OO38 Page 25 October 17, 1989 to be careful about, is that a decision on a recycling program should not be driven by the fact that public relations campaigning has to be done between now and December 31, 1989. Commissioner Hesse Indicated that he does not want to ese $55,000 spent Just because its a good idea to spend it, with no Idea of a plan. Mr. Lorenz advised that the plan that he has, which has not yet been presented to the Commission, contains a number of recycling ele- ment~: commercial generators, private Groups, I.e. Civic Organizations, and Government drop off centers. Commissioner Shanehan stated that the Commission directed Staff to negotiate this contract in September, but they have concerns since they do not know what ts tn It. He noted that he shares the views of the other Commissioners, and he believes that there ts no other choice other than spending the money, but remarked that the best results should be received for that money. ' Mrs. Charlotte Westman, representing the League of Women Voters of Collier County, questioned what and whom comprises the Steering Committee? Mr. Lorenz advised that the committee ia comprised of mem- bers from the Conservancy, the City of Naples, Median Marketing, and the Solid Waste Advisory Committee. He indicated that he will provide a copy of the committee members to Mrs. Westman. Mrs. Westman noted that the beginning of the contract indicates that the consultant shall serve as public relations counsel, which Includes advising the management of Collier County on recycling and educational relations issues and aspects of the County's policies and problems. She questioned what policies are referred to? Commissioner Saunde=s stated that Mrs. Westman ts raising the same questions that the Commission has addressed, and the answer ts that there is a state grant, and the money has to be spent by December 31, 1989. He affirmed that Staff will ensure that the money is spent tn an efficient manner.

Ita~gB3 AUTHORIZATION FOR AN APPLICATION TO OBTAIN A DREDGE AND FILL FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING RECREATIONAL VALUE AND WATER QUALITY AT TIGERTAIL BEACH - APPROVED Harry Huber, Technical Services Supervisor, advised that the objective of this application ts to obtain authorization to apply for a permit to maintain recreational value and water quality at Tlgerta~l Page 28 Ootober 17, 1989 Beach. He noted that initial concern was expressed on Augvst 1, 1989 and direction was given by the Board that the natural process be allowed to progress and the Passes be allowed to close naturally with Staff monitoring the water quality, bacteria and potential loss of Tlgertatl Beach. He reported that as a result of a meeting with the DER, the County was advised that application for a permit ts necessary for proper evaluation. He stated that the two main concerns are the potential loss of the recreational value and water quality at Ttgertatl Beach due to the migration of Sand Dollar Island, and the delay tn the start of the beach nourishment project, resulting from the petition flied by the Residents for Rational Renourishment. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Huber replied that he recommends proceeding with the monitoring program in addition to applying for the dredge and fill permit. Mr. Huber explained that $3,500 represents the approximated cost of filing the application for the entire permitting process. Commissioner Shanahan emphasized that DER stated that the preservation of Sand Dollar and Ttgertall must be uncoupled from beach renourlshment, as they are two separate and dl~ttnct entities. Commissioner Sh~n~h~nmov~d, seconded by Commissioner Ooodntght, that ~he Board of County Coutsstonsrs authorize, develop amd submit · n application to obtain a dredge ~nd fill p~rmtt for the purpose of mtntatntng recreational value ~nd water quality at Ttgertall bach. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Commissioner Shanahan explained that the Board of County Commissioners was presented with a summary to select a professional engineering firm and spend $27,000 monitoring the situation, except for the tidal flow, but the Board decided that this was an In-house function. He emphasized that Staffts recommen- dation was to include some of the aspects of this application. Upon call for the question, the mot/on carrted un~nl~ousl¥.

Reconvened 1:35 P.M.e$ose Ires ~9D2 INTENVIEW AND SKLKCTION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING FIRM TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR A RAW WATER BOOSTER PUMP STATION - STAFF TO NEGOTIATE WITH CONSOERt TOWNSEND & ASSOCIATHSr INC. Ann Marie Say/or, Utilities Administrative Assistant I, advised that she will introduce the engineering firms to be selected by the Board of County Commissioners for professional engineering services for RFP-89-145?, the raw water booster pump station. She Indicated that Staff took the request to the Board of County Commissioners for proposals on June 6, 1989, and on October 10, 1989 the Utilities Division presented a revised water plant and wellfield scenario affecting the sizing of this subject pump station. She Indicated that Page 34 October 17, 1989 at that Board meeting, Staff was directed to suspend negotiations with the previously selected firm and set presentations of the three top ranked firms. She reported that because of the difference tn scope, the project will sign~ftcantly increase from $350,000 to an area of 1.5 to 2 million dollars. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mike Arnold, Uttlit~es Administrator, stated that the cost ties tn with the revised Master Plan, and noted that the County ts now looking to feed two plants off that line and the sophistication, telemetry, etc. will increase the cost. He explained that the County ts looking for a sta- tion to maximize the carrying capacity of the existing 30 Inch raw water main and the base concept has not changed, but the sophistica- tion of the station has changed. Commissioner Volpe questioned the procedure followed whereby engineering firms responding to certain requests for a proposal envisioning a certain type of work, presumably this revised booster pump, when the request was not within their con- templat~on when they bid on the contract? Mr. Arnold replied that he ~s aware that that concern was raised by the Clerkts Office, and noted that he went back and reviewed the RFP himself to see ~f there was any problem, and from his standpoint, there was not. He Indicated that the Co~lnty ts still looking for the same component of the system; a booster station that will maximize the capacity of that line. He reported that regarding the quality or considerations the firm gave to submitting proposals for this, all firms have the capability to pro- vide the service the County ts looking for, and he indicated that he did not know if the solicitation process would have been affected ~f different firms had submitted proposals. Commissioner Volpe empha- sized that Mr. Arnold requested proposals based on a booster pump that was $S60,0000 the down and dirty booster pump, and now a pump with sophisticated telemetry is being considered, and that is something entirely different than what was submitted for proposal. Commissioner Volpe noted that he did not question that all of the firms would be able to handle the project, but pointed out that, at this time, the Page 35 October 17, 1989 County ts talking about something entirely different than when the firms submitted their proposal. Mr. Arnold replied that Staff does not solicit and advertise the anticipated cost of the construction, and noted that in the RFP, performance capabilities expected are men- tioned, but the cost ts not. Commissioner Volpe questioned tf Mr. Arnold discussed the sophisticated booster pump during the selection process? Mr. Arnold explained that Staff has not met with the engineering firms, does not confer with them, but goes through the advertising process, the RFP goes out with a definition of the scope of services being sought, and the Selection Committee reaches their evaluations based on their feelings tn view of the proposals, submits their opinion back to Utilities and Utilities tallies those and presents them to the Board. He emphasized that there has been no consultation with the engineering firms, and the Selection Committee arrives at their rankings and Judgments independently. Commissioner Saunders commented that this was on the Agenda two weeks ago and the Board decided to go with a selection tn front of the Board and at that time it should have been decided If another RFP should have been prepared. He noted that the question ts if the Board wants to proceed with this selection under this RFP or direct Staff to do another RFP, and asked for the consen- sus of the Board. Commissioner Volpe suggested that the County Attorney let the Board know if the proper procedures have been followed. He commented that regarding the timing, last week he understood that the Board's action in terms of the Amendment to the Master Plan, was taken because of expedience and cost savings of 4 to 5 million dollars, Including the $360,000 booster pump Increase to i mtllton dollars. Mr. Arnold concurred and Commissioner Saunders stated that that discussion was continued to this meeting and asked for the consensus of the Board. Commissioner Shanahan indicated that he would like to continue today. Commissioner Goodnight and Commissioner Saunders concurred, and Commissioner Hesse commented that Page 36 October 17, I989 the difference in the cost ts Irregular. Commissioner Shanahan pointed out that last week the Board agreed on this, and noted that Hr. Arnold had pointed out that the pump would go from $300,000 to 1-1/2 million to 2 m1llion dollars. Commissioner Volpe asked for an opinion from the County Attorney if the procedure following ts viola- rive or tn conformance with the correct procedure. Re noted that the Finance Director and Deputy Clerk raised the question that there may be some "irregularity in the process the Board used tn having these firms respond to the RFP". County Attorney Cuyler reported that he had not reviewed the RFP, but had talked with Mr. Arnold before the meeting and indicated that lt'wss a factual matter to be presented to the Board. He explained that if it ts substantially the same type of project, even tf larger than the original, and the types of things requested are similar or of the same nature, the Board can take those facts and arrive at that decision and his answer ts "yes". Commissioner Saunders stated that the question is whether this selection process complies with the ~urchastng policy of the County. Attorney Cuyler explained that he has not gone through the analysis of the RFP for the $300,000 vs. the RFP for this project. Commissioner Volpe commented that someone un- successful In the selection process for this $2,000,000 contract may look seriously at the procedures used. Commissioner Saunders noted that the majority of the Board wants to proceed with this project, and asked if the Board is legally authorized to do so? Attorney Cuyler replied that he does not see it entirely as a legal answer. He explained that the Board should not proceed if the Utilities Director ts telling them that the project he now contemplates le not ~ubetan- ttally the same as the original project. Mr. Arnold replied that, tn his opinion, the project for which the Board Is ready to interview firms today te substantially the same project. Attorney Cuyler stated that under those circumstances the Board is authorized to proceed. Mrs. Say/or indicated that each firm has been notified ~t has 15 Page 37 October 17, 2989 minutes for their presentation and distributed tabulation sheets to the Board. She noted that the firms will be Introduced tn alphabeti- cal order and Camp, Dresser and HcKee of Fort Hyers will be the first. CommLsstoner Volpe questioned the initial calculation and rating of the firms who responded to the request for the proposal and the Board recalculating the list taking out the factor assigned for work previously performed by these firms? Hr. Arnold replied that the County did so for this project and for the other project as well. Commissioner Volpe questioned if it changed the initial ranking the Committee provided, and Hr. Arnold replied that it did make some changes tn the ranking order. Commissioner Volpe asked for the County Attorney's optnton. County Attorney Cuyler stated that the question to him was: "Was it Inappropriate for him to recalculate the firms and delete the volume of work previously signed?#, and his conclusion ts that it was not inappropriate at that time, but it Is a factor that needs to be considered, and tn his opinion this ks the time that factor needs to be factored tn and given some weight, because the Statute says that factor, unlike the other factora listed, cannot affect the Board's selection of the S most qualified firms. He expla.ined that if a numerical weighting ts given prior to this point, there is potential that it will place someone tn the most qualified firms when normally it would not, and that Is illuatrated by the Staff'~ calculations. He noted that it is a statutory provision to be evaluated by the Board, and in his opinion, the Board should do that as part oZ this process, prior to this process causes a conflict In the statutory language. Commissioner Volpe stated that the amount of work previously done by an engineering firm for the County ts a factor that must be considered by the Board of County Commtsstonera as it reviews the proposals submitted by those firms ranked by Staff. Attorney Cu¥1er read the phrase for the record: as the other factors - "and the volume of work previously awarded to each firm by the agency with the object of affecting an equitable distribution of Page 38 October l?, 1989 contracts among qualified firms, provided such distribution does not violate the principle of selection of the most highly qualified firms'. He noted that it is his opinion that the weighting factor for all of the things listed In the Statute were all appropriate, with the exception of this one item, and once the Board comes to the conclusion of who the 3 most qualified firms are, the Board then places some weight on that to factor into the calculations. Commissioner Volpe reported that Staff should not consider the work previously performed by the engineering firms. Attorney Cuyler concurred, but noted that if Staff gets into a close ranking or tie situation with regard to the selection of the 3 most qualified firms, they may consider that. Commissioner Volpe suggested that the County Attorney provide guidance to the Staff for the future. Mr. Arnold stated that he had spoken with Attorney Cuyler, and they intend to compare notes on that. He commented that he senses a little criticism of Staff. Commissioner Saunders emphasized that there has been no criticism of Staff. Mr. Arnold reported that he would like to clear the record, and emphasized that Staff reviews as objectively as they can, the engineering firms submitted to the Board for consideration. Ron Armstrong, Senior Vice President of Florida operations.for Camp, Dresser and McKee, advised that they are qualified to do the pro- Ject talked about, and noted that a more advanced project is exactly what they are known for and would like to do. He reported that Camp, Dresser, McKee is the nation's largest environmental engineering firm with a Staff of 2,200; 350 in the State of Florida, and 35 in the Fort Myers office. He explained that their concentration is on environmen- tal engineering for water, wastewater, solid waste and hazardous waste. He Indicated that the County ts looking for a level of commit- ment and this project is not a simple one. He noted that water hydraulics, design of mains, and booster stations ts something deserving of the expertise that Camp, Dresser has. He pointed out Page 39 October l?, 1989 that the County requires this project be done on a timely basis and within budget; two commitments Camp, Dresser believes they can comply with. He noted that Camp, Dresser worked on the Solid Waste Master Plan for the County, showing their responsiveness tn terms of timeli- ness. He stated that for the past 4 years, they worked with Agnolt, Barber and Brundage and would propose to work with them on this pro- Ject out of their Collier County office, and he reported that if Camp, Dresser ts selected for the projects, they would open an office in Collier County. He Indicated that in 1984 through 1987, they had a project office tn Collier County that did wastewater work for the City of Naples. Tape#4 Mr. Armstrong explained that Camp, Dresser, & McKee brings unparalleled experience to this project, has been in Florida since 1957, has done over 50 major pump stations, 25 water pump stations, and he has been the Senior Engineer involved tn the telemetry of these 'stations from a remote standard. He stated that Staff ere available who worked on the Manatee Water Treatment Plant Expansion and W~llfteld, and the City of Venice, Water Treatment Plant, an RO ~ystem. He reported that 99~ of their work in Florida is for munici- pal clients and pointed out the projects done, i.e. pump stations With ground storage reservoirs, and telemetry systems on the displayed map for the Southern part of Florida. Calvin Hoppmeyer, Project Manager, for Camp, Dresser, & McKee stated that the original process was a down and dirty quick pump sta- tion that would have an operational schedule of April, 1990. He reported that this date has been a 45 day window in which the County will experience extremely high water usage during a /ow rainfall period. He noted that In November, Pelican Bay becomes a public vice area for Collier County and with Marco Island on line, there will be an additional 3 million gallons per day requirement on that system. He advised that last year that system was supplying approximately 10 Page 40 October 17, 1989 mg a day, and now the County is looking at 13 mgd uses. He pointed out a current wellfteld to the existing treatment plant can supply less than 13 mgd when all 16 wells are on. He stated that the approach was to increase capacity to get 15 mgd to the plant and work on an interim basis during this first window. He Indicated that the project was first a modeling effort to determine where the pump sta- tion would go and If there were any other ideas or modifications that would still allow the window. He reported that the first one was to add a second parallel line the entire length of the project. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Hoppmeyer reported that he Is referring to both the old and the new project, and during April and May of 1990 there will be a water crisis. He Indicated that Camp, Dresser, & McKee can still do the ultimate pump station, the 24 mgd station, variable speed control, generators, and telemetry units, but that cannot be on line for the April/May window next year because the construction time is 9 to 10 months and the condemnation to obtain property will take 6 months. He pointed out the displayed schedule and noted that the completion date ts December, 1990. He stated that tbs first phase ts to do an analysts of the best approach and present that to the Board. He pointed out that some preliminary modeling indicated that a second line would produce the 16 mgd at a cost of $4,000,000, but that could not be done by the April window. He indi- cated that the other approach would be replacing the well pumps tn all 16 wells with a higher pressure which would overcome the head loss in the line, allowing the push of 16 mgd through the plant and that could be on line, without future property acquisitions, by the April window, depending on the modeling efforts. He advised that a rough number of $20,000 per well equals $320,000 which will not be money wasted because when and if the additional wells are added, a higher pressure rated pump will be needed on the wells. Commissioner Volpe questioned If this booster pump will only pump water from the wellfield to the existing water treatment plant on Page 41 October 17, 1989 9517 Mr. Hoppmeyer replied "No", and explained that there is a need for the heart of the system to have a pump that will pump with addi- tional wells to both sites. He emphasized that the window in April is Important and must be addressed. Commissioner Hasse questioned the cost, and Mr. Hoppmeyer replied that if the well scenario increasing the pump capacity is valid, approximately $300,000 ts the cost, but in the April window there Is still an ultimate pump station that needs to go in the near future when the second plant comes on line and the additional wells are installed for that plant. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Hoppmeyer replied that he ts changing the wells to get the same result of that down and dirty booster pump station. Commissioner Volpe questioned the capacit~ of the existing water treatment plant? Mr. Hoppmeyer replied "12 million gallons per day". Commissioner Volpe questioned how 16 million gallons per day can be pushed down there, and Mr. Hoppmeyer responded that It Is Staff's plan to push that tn this window and Camp, Dresser & McKee has not been asked to look at the plant. He reported that it is his understanding that additional chlorine and potassium per- mang~'late facilities have been added to reach that 16 mgd. He noted that plants have a peak factor and additional water can be hydrauli- cally pushed through, but not for extended periods of time, rather on a 45 day period. He indicated that the intent of the original RFP was that Camp, Dresser & McKee is saying that both can still be done. Commissioner Saunders commented that the process Is Staff's plan and selection of an engineering firm to carry out that plan. Commissioner Hasse noted that Camp, Dresser ts presenting both plans, and Commissioner Volpe reported that Camp, Dresser has presented the first plan, the one that the County does not want. Commissioner Volpe Indicated that Camp, Dresser Is saying that the original plan should not be scrapped because something has to be done between now and 1990. Mr. Hoppmeyer replied that he is adding to the plan presented by Staff. Page 42 October 17, 1989 Mr. Armstrong stated that the sophisticated 24 mgd system requires customized engineering and pointed out on the displayed diagram Camp, Dresser's ability to have a pump station that can be controlled remo- tely. He explained that this station can run /ow and b~pasa 10 mgd, have variable flow through the maximum 24 mgd and this t~e of hydraulic analysts ks very important. He reported that Camp, Dresser has the system to hydraulically analyze this and give the correct sizing pumpage positioning for a pump station tn-house. He stated that construction services to provide this are well tn line with what they have done tn other areas. He noted that a pump station was designed tn Hillsborough County at 24 mgd, variable and could fluc- tuate at by-pass mode or as a re-pump mode. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Armstrong replied that tn looking at the system, simply doing the large pump station will cause the County to miss this window, and since something has to be done with the pumps anyway, from an engineering standpoint pumps should not be wasted and this ts the best of both worlds. Commissioner Shanahan questioned if the April/May, 1990 window ts the down and dirty pump, and the December, 1990 is the sophisticated pump. Mr. Armstrong replied tn the affirmative. In response to Commissioner Hassets question about the life of the pump, Mr. Armstrong reported that shuffling pumps around hydraulically prolongs the life of the pump. Commissioner Shanahan questioned Mr. Arnold if the plant was not designed with the thought of ultimately taking tt to 16 million gallons per day? Mr. Arnold replied that at one time it was projected to go higher than that, but due to the expense of the land for expan- sion, there ts no land available for further expansion. A discussion followed about the rate of capacity. CON~O]~Rw TOWNSEND AND ASSOCIATESr INC. Ed Key of Consoer, Townsend & Associates, Naples, Florida, stated that the project being presented today ts a booster pump station Page 43 October 17, 1989 designed to resolve some of the problems with water restrictions relating to Marco Island, and supply additional water for the Regional Plant and North Water Treatment Plant. He Introduced Bob Stolt, the Design Engineer, Bill Doerlngsfeld, in charge of construction esl'vices and Dave Hoot, Quality Assurance and Control. He displayed an organi- zational chart and noted that he will be the Project Manager tn charge of design coordination meetings and making sure that all applicable considerations are done and the work is properly coordinated and done on schedule= Bob Stolt will be the Design Engineer who is intimately Involved at the Regional Treatment Plant in the expansion end wellfteld work done, and in the process of doing that aea CTA Lead Engineer, he was involved with the design report which addressed this pump station in its original form, the lower budgeted pump station. He reported that Mr. Stolt will also be tn charge of the coordination of the design team efforts, put together the mechanical and electri- cal disciplines and make sure the work ts coordinated properly and emphasized that there are no sub-contractors engaged for this project. He advised that Bill Doeringefeld currently serves as the resident engineer on the North Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion and will be in charge of construction services. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Stolt explained that this plant is located off Immokalee Road, next to the North Naples Park. He noted that Mr. Stolt has 24 years of construction experience. He reported that Dave Hoot runs the Tampa office and will be tn charge of quality assurance and control and has heav~ experience with contract document specifications and will make periodic inspections on the work in the construction phase. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Key stated that Consoer, Townsend considered 2 alternatives: 1) the proposal Staff relayed to them and pointed out the location of the pump station on the southwest corner of the existing wellfield; and 2) a combination, which could be either/or, or both a parallel 20 ~nch line to the existing 30 Inch line and the relocation of the pump station to C.R. 9§1 and White Page 44 October 17, 1989 Boulevard. He advleed that the telemetry and interfacing of water going to two different final destinations, and an 8 million gallon addition to the 30" line pumping 24 mgd through it, make the project more complicated. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Key explained that the existing wellfield and the SO inch line was origi- nally planned with the booster station capable of handling 15 mgd, and when the new proposed north plant comes on line, the acenario will be a maximum of 24 mgd and increasing the line from 16" to 24". In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Key explained that the wells are rated at ! mgd0 however, the hydraulic constraints on the pipeline will not al/ow them to exceed lS mgd, and the booster station at a minimum would be requlred to get to 16 mgd. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Key reported that to pump 16 mgd the sta- tion will either be at one of the two locations he pointed out on the displayed map. Mr. Key explained that "either/or" is the location of the booster station at the wellfteld or at C.R. 951. Mr. Stolt explained that the scope of the pro~ect is the design and construction of the 24 mgd raw water booster pumping station in Tt~e vicinity of the Golden Gate wellfield that wil! be directing the raw water to two separate water treatment plants from one the existing Regional Water Treatment Plant at the southern part of the county and the proposed North Reglonal Water Treatment Plant in the north part of the county. He noted that in the first analysis a few concerns developed regarding the use of the existing SO inch raw water main in this area. He reported that the design capacity of the pro,eot has increased to 24 mgd, and noted that the existing SO 2nch pipeline was initially designed for a capacity of 16 mgd. He note~ that in order to push the additional 8 mgd through the pipe, exceBsive velocities in the range of 8 per feet per second will be developed and these velocities tend to produce greater head losses in the pipe which must be compensated for by pumping. He stated that the second concern ia the pressure required to push the water through the pipeline. He Page 45 October 17, 1989 explained that the present pipeline has a maximum working pressure of approximately 80 psi and to push 24 mgd through the same single pipe- lane would require a pressure Increase of 50 psi in the range of 130 psi total working pressure. He emphasized that this ts a high pressure to be operating and could cause the pipeline fittings to separate. He pointed out that this would be Investigated in detail in the design report phase of the project. He reported that the concept Consoer, Townsend came up with is to parallel the existing 30 inch pipeline for 4 miles from the wellfield site to the flow splitting structure that would direct the water to the two plants. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Stolt reported that the size ts 20 inches and by constructing the parallel 20 inch pipe there are several advan- tages. He stated that the second aspect is to locate the boolter pumping station and the flow splitting structure, combining the two facilities into one structure. He reported that the advantages of constructing a parallel line and moving the pump station to the loca- tion he pointed out will reduce the working pressure in the existing pipeline significantly. He explained that the original concept dealt tn pressures of 130 psi, and in the alternate concept, the maximum pressure of the pipeline would be SO pst. In response to Coauaissioner Vollme, Mr. Arnold indicated that the new treatment plant ts being shown at Vanderbilt Beach Road. Mr. stolt reported that one combined structure in this location provides for Increased maintenance and electrical system reliability. In response %0 Commissioner Volpe, Commissioner Shanahan explained that regardless of where the booster pump site is located, the 20 Inch pipe ie required. Mr. Stolt pointed out that reduced energy consumption is another advantage. He stated that four 250 horsepower pumps will be required to build the pumping station, but with the location of the pipeline and the pump station as pointed out on the diagram, he noted that four 125 horsepower pumps would be required and the difference in energy cost was approximately $50,000 per year. He explained that by Page 46 October 17, 1989 building the pump atatlon at the location pointed out with the pipe- line, the additional construction coata will be offaet by the reduced energ~ conaumption. Hr. Key displayed a schedule containing starting and completion datea. Ne noted that with a starting date of November, 1989 and a completion date of Hay, 1991, preliminary Investigation shows this ts a realtattc and reasonable schedule. Hr. Stolt commented that the pipeline could be built tn a much shorter time and be a separate construction project and would go on prior to the peak season of 1991 with the County gaining immediate benefit by tncreaatng the capacity of the wellfteld by approximately 1-1/2 mgd. Hr. Key explained that the only other option to save time would be for the County electing to do direct purchasing of equipment and order the equipment late tn the design phase. Commissioner Volpe questioned tf this ffactltt¥ will encompass the new plan for a water treatment plant on Vanderbtlt Drive and service that whole project? Hr. Key stated that it will be designed so that It can do that and tn the actual construction phasing, It would not have to all be done at the same time. Commissioner Shanahan questioned if Consoer, Townsend ~s prepared to go from a $360,000 Job vs. an ultimate state-of-the-art customized double system? Hr. Key replied that hydraulic analysis and the engineering report will play a significant point tn evaluating what ~s the best alternative. He noted that tn the preliminary estimate, the original booster pump station was estimated at 1.! m/Ilion dollars and the relocated pump station and alternate water line ia eattmated at 1.9 million dollara. In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Hr. Key reported that the 1.1 million dollar figure does not have the 20 Inch line Included. Hr. Stolt reported that adding the additions! 8 mgd tn the pipeline to serve the North Plant makes the difference tn the figure of $360,O00 to 1.1 million dollars. Hr. Key Indicated that Consoer, Townsend was Involved tn the original water plant and did the design report and are familiar with the pro~ect, and with the Page 47 October l?, 1989 complexity of feedtng two plants there is a need to go with someone who has the staff. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Key replied that they have one ongoing contract tn design for a water main on Pine Ridge Road, and are also doing the construction inspection for the North Wastewater Treatment Plant and inspection on the South Wastewater Plant. In response to Commissioner Shah&hen, Mr. Key stated that all work will be In-house except for the surveying for the site and routing. He noted that they would use a local surveyor. Commissioner Volpe and Commissioner Shanahan commented that they assume all the projects were brought In within budget and on a timely basis. Mr. Key responded that they were. A discussion followed about time factors and completing the primp station. S0nz. ~oFr~s A~D ASS.OClATaS, INC. Tom Taylor of Hole, Montes & Associates, advised that Craig Pager, the Project Manager and Sergto Montes, President of the firm, are pre- sent. He noted that Collier County Is aware of what Hole, Montes can du and has done in the past. He stated that water resources issues · ,nd pressure problems are being resolved by following recommendations and Joint efforts of Hole, Montes & Associates and Staff, indicating Hole, Montes a Associates' technical capabilities. He indicated that in 1982/83 the County did Its first wellfteld Installation, including 5 wells with 1 million gallons per day capacity, and construction of a major transmission main from the Golden Gate Regional Treatment faci- lity off C.R. 951, out White Boulevard and do~n a canal system located tn Golden Gate Estates. He pointed out the location of the wells on the displayed map. He explained that consideration was given to the size of the pipes and for cost reasons the Utilities Division selected putting in a 30 inch transmission main. He reported'that in 1987/88, Hole, Montes & Associates was selected to do a wellfteld expansion, 00¢)94 Page 48 October 17, 1989 and 11 wells were Installed, 3 for backup purposes. He indicated that the transmission facilities were not capable of getting a full 16 million gallons out of the existing wellfteld, and Hole, Montes & Associates recommended that a booster station be constructed at the time the County needed to get the water through the 30 Inch main. He explained that the key factors tn that are friction loss through the restricted pipe size tn trying to push that much water through which creates problem with friction head losses and pressure loss in the system. He reported that the other side is trying to push too much water through and the velocities get so high that problems occur by eating away at the pipe. He noted that Hole, Montes & Associates recommended a booster station be installed at that time and the ttme has now come. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Taylor stated that the pipe with the booster station can handle the 16 million gallons per day. Mr. Taylor advised that the County has decided to further expand the Golden Gate wellfteld and deliver up to 24 million gallons per day from the areas he pointed out on the displayed diagram to the location of the two treatment plants, the existing one and the second one to be located on Vanderbtlt Beach Road and C.R. 951. He explained that the options to get the water there are a booster station and a parallel transmission main or some combination thereof. He indicated that the basic need is additional hydraulic capacity and more wells will have to be installed. He noted that Mtsstmer & Associates were selected to proceed with the hydrologic testing and Hole, Montes a Associates are assisting with the permitting aspects. He explained that pushing 24 million gallons through a 30 inch transmission main will cause the upper limits of the matn's capabilities to be reached~ velocities reach the maximum and substantial head losses occur. He reported that 600 horsepower will be required in the motors to push the water up to the treatment facilities. In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Taylor explained that the Page 49 October 17, 1989 600 horsepower pump station can be located at the treatment facility or tn the transmission main, not at C.R. 951, but between C.R. 951 and the first well. In response to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Taylor replied that the splitting of the flows, and taking reject water from the membrane treatment facility and re-Injecting that back Into the line that goes to the South are substantial hydraulic considerations and not a straight forward and simple hydraulic analysis. Mr. Taylor explained that the system today can pump up to 13 million gallons per day on Its own without any boost. He reported that the booster sta- tion will be In operation when more than 13 million gallons per day are required, and as far as a pumping rate goes the system would not have to be operating. Commissioner Volpe questioned running another line closer to the newly located water treatment plant on Vanderbtlt Beach Road? Mr. Taylor replied that running a second line located parallel to the existing line or extending a second line down the canal is a viable option. Commissioner Volpe commented that the sophisticated telemetry would not be needed. Mr. Taylor concurred and stated that Hole, Montes & Associates' philosophy ts to keep it simple. He stated pulling water out of the lake, pumping it into the 30 Inca main, boosting, splitting the flows to get 12 mgd to the north and 12 mgd to the south and get the reject water back to the line going south are very complicated Issues. Commissioner Shanahan questioned if a second line will be needed from the wellfteld down the canal to the new water treatment plant, or to the new booster pump to disperse the water north and south? Mr. Taylor replied affirmatively and noted that can be done w~thtn the 2 million dollar budget. Commissioner Shanahal~ questioned ~f another pipeline is needed to accommodate 24 million gallons per day? Mr. Taylor concurred and emphasized that operation and maintenance cost are high for operating a 600 to 700 horsepower booster station although it would be operating only at certain times. He advised that there ts very little operating and maintenance cost associated w~th a transmission main. Page 50 October ~?, 1989 · ***'Deputy Clerk Hoff~an replaced Deput~r Clerk Kraft at this timees*** Mr. Taylor explained that if his firm ts hired to proceed with the design report they cover the alternatives, and they will accomplish the same thing for relatively the same dollars and will give the County other benefits, i.e., flexibility, reliability, which are things that.should be looked at in the design stage. He indicated that if Staff makes a determination as to which alternative they wish to proceed wLth, i.e., a second pipe line or a booster station, the Commission may desire to make the final decision. Hr. Taylor advised that from a practical standpoint of constructing, operating and ~aintaJntng the facilities, the st=plat At te, the better. ~e noted that if a booster pu~pi~g atation can be e~tm~nated, he fee~e that thts ~e a e~mp2e exchange ~hen cc~para~2e dollars are being considered. Mr. Taylor stated that the preliminary work indicates that there ts a greater amount of water tn the Golden Gate area, and Nlsstmer & A~e, oclates will proceed to determine how much more, and what the limit ~o He reported that the end result la that Collier Co~nt~wante to get 24 MGD of water, and the approach ts to determine the best way to get lt. Commissioner Volpe indicated that it appears that what should be done at this point, is a RFP for a feasibility report as to alter- natives, and proceed from there. Commissioner Hesse concurred with Commissioner Volpe. Mr. Taylor informed the Board that his firm will evaluate the best method of obtaining the 24 M6D, including the evaluation of expan- dabiltty0 raw water characteristics and treatment technologies. Commissioner Shanahan stated that as he understands ~, tn orde~ to obtain the 24 MGD, and two plants, It appears that the County will need to have a booster pumping station and new transmission lanes. Mr. Taylor informed him that he believes that a booster station or pipe lines will be required, but noted that it may be a combination Page October 17, 1989 thereof. In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Taylor reported that Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc., is currently working on the South County Regional Wastewater Facilities, a Vanderbtlt Beach project which is nearly completed, a couple of design Jobs, and a couple of road pro- Jects. In response to Commissioner Shanahan, Mr. Taylor Informed him that he believes his firm can come back within 45 days with a plan. He noted that whoever does the project will have to coordinate with Staff and Mlsslmer & Associates, and that will have some Impact on which ts the most appropriate direction for Collier County to take. Commissioner Volpe stated that he understands the need to plan ahead and to have foresight tn terms of the Master Plan, but noted that he does not know if he ts prepared to allow Staff to negotiate a contract that will allow one of the three firms to provide engineering services for the raw water booster pump station, since he does not know where it will bo, what it will be, or whether the County should have It. Mr. Arnold reported that the key from all the consultants Is that they are all focusing on 24 MGD which ts needed for the year 2000. He stated that the construction of a parallel transmission main ts not being looked at now, nor ts the sizing of the pump station to 24 MGD being looked at now, since they are not needed. He related that his perception of the process ts that when a firm la selected, they will be preparing a design report, noting that his preference ts to design the station to meet the 16 MGD demand, and to also design the struc- ture so that additional pumps can be added tn the future. He advised that the projection for 1995 Is 20 MGD. Commissioner Saunders stated that the Commission ts trying to select an engineering firm to design a facility, but the Master Planning has not been done to determine what facility needs to be designed. He cited that there are three engineering firms that have Page 52 October l?, 1989 focused on something that the County will not need until the year 2000, and that seems to be the problem the Commission is having. Commissioner Volpe remarked that the Commission is being asked to interview the three firms to prepare a design for a facility that in the first instance was going to be $360,000, and it has now gone to $1.5 million to $2 million, which is based upon Staff's conclusion that what is needed is a much more sophisticated, complex.pump booster station. Commissioner Shanahan related that tn his opinion, he believed that the Commission would be hearing the professional consultants pre- sent a plan with an advance stage, state-of-the-art presentation, noting that he feels that one company has done this very effectively. Mr. Arnold suggested that the Commission select the firm that will provide the design of a pump station. He noted that during the cess of discussing with them the design report, other options can be explored. He advised that Staff's recommendation is that a pump sta- tion will have to be built on the raw water booster station. Re ind~- caged that many components will have to be meshed together. At this time, the Commission completed the Consultant Selection Tabulation Form, which resulted as foll0ws: #! Ranked Firm - Con#oar, Townsend and Associates, Inc. #2 Ranked Firm - Hole, Montes & Associates, Inc. #3 Ranked Firm - Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc. eeo Co~iaaloner Saundera left the meeting at th~s t~me see Co~asioner Haaaa moved, seconded b~ Commissioner Yelps and carried 4/0 (Commissioner Saunders absent), that Staff negotiate a contract w~th Consoer0 Townsend and Associates, Inc., and bring back sa~e to the Commission. Tape#5 Item~gD3 STAFF TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACT WITE #1 SELECTED FIRM, ROLE, MONTES ASSOC., INC., FOR FIVE MILLION GALLON STORAGE RESERVOIR AND PUMP STATION AND BRING BACK TO THE BCC Administrative Assistant Saylor advised that RFP 89-1456 is for the 5 MG Water Storage Reservoir and Pump Station which ks located at Page 53 October l?, 1989 the Carica Road site. She noted that RFP's were brought to the Commission on June 6, 1989, and on October 3, 1989, Staff was directed to schedule presentations for the three top ranked firms. CAMP, IntZ$$..Ua .AND MCKEE, INC. Mr. $ohn Calise, Office Manager tn Ft. Myers, stated that he would like to demonstrate his firm's capabilities and qualifications for this project, which is a rehabilitation of an existing 5 MG ground reservoir, a new § M6 ground storage reservoir, and the associated pump station, telemetry and valving. Mr. Caltse introduced Calvin Hoppmeyer, Project Manager, Mr. Richard Moore, Senior Design Engineer, and Mr. Dan Brundage of Agnoli, Barber and Brundage. Mr. Hoppmeyer, reported that the proposed schedule for the project has a completion date of January, 1991. He explained that his firm has performed initial computerization of the existing distribution system, noting that the model is In their computer, and they have relocated the water treatment plant from where tt used to be, to the n~w location, which has been pointed out by Staff. Mr. Richard Moore, SenlaT Design Engineer, explained that hie f~rm has d~ne many similar projects around the state of Florida that con- slst of ground storage tanks and high service pumping stations and the related telemetry. He advised that he proposes to address with Staff particular Issues during the design, I.e., reliability, and once the facility goes on line, it must be designed to maintain continuous operation, so that if one unit ts taken out of service the facility can still be used. He indicated that safety ts a primary concern, and the chemicals which will be used will be addressed very carefully from egress and Ingress to the pump station, through alarms and telemetry so that it can be monitored. He stated that the operability of the pump station is a primary concern, and noted that the Instrumentation system has already been reviewed at the Water Plant, and therefore, he knows how to Interface with that.
