NOTES FOR TALK AT THE MEETING OF COLLIER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MEETING. (JUNE 12, 2018 )
I WILL READ FROM MY NOTES UNTIL MY ALLOWED TIME ENDS. MY
NOTES WILL BE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
IT SEEMS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE THAT COLLIER COUNTY HAS NOT
HAD A MUNICIPAL OWNED GOLF COURSE DURING THE PAST 94 YEARS !!
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS TRUE?? OVER THE YEARS, MUNICIPAL
GOVERMENTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD HAVE HAD
MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSES (MUNIS)AND STILL HAVE THEM.
HOWEVER,THERE ARE MORE THAN 75 GOLF COURSE IN THIS VERY
WEALTHY COUNTY. MOST ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR COMMON PEOPLE.
I AM A COMMON PERSON, THAT BY DEFINTION, IS ONE WHO LACKS
THE CHARACTERISTIC OF HAVING POWER WHEN I TOLD THAT TO THE
COUNTY PLANNING GROUP,A MEMBER LAUGHED. I HAVE REACHED OUT
TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO I THOUGHT HAD THE POWER TO MAKE A
MUNI POSSIBLE IN COLLIER COUNTY AND I HAVE BEEN VERY
DISAPPOINTED.
MANY COMMON PEOPLE IN COLLIER COUNTY, INCLUDING VISITORS,
CANNOT AFFORD TO PLAY GOLF IN COLLIER. OUR COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS HAVE SOME POWER TO ESTABLISH A MUNICIPAL GOLF
COURSE IN COLLIER COUNTY. HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT IT COST MORE
THAN YOUR WILLING TO APPROVE FOR GOLF FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE,
AND YOU HAVE INDICATED THAT A GOLF COURSE WOULD NOT GAIN A
PROFIT ENOUGH TO PAY ITS OWN WAY.
A RECENT LETTER TO THE EDITOR, MAY 2, 2018, SUBJECT, " COST OF
GOLF COURSE VS. WATERPARK,",POINTS OUT THAT COLLIER COUNTY
SUPPORTS OTHER PARKS THAT MAY NOT SHOW LARGE PROFITS SUCH AS
WATERPARKS AND LARGE PLAYING FIELDS WITH LIGHTS, ETC. I HAVE
MET WITH PARKS AND RECREATIONS AND HAVE OVER 40 COPIES OF
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AND ARTICALS ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE
CONVERSION AND THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE GOLF IN COLLIER
COUNTY.
ON JANUARY 18,2016 54 LAKEWOOD EQUITY MEMBERS VOTED YES
FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATION FOR THE
SALE OF LAKEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE ONLY
66 EQUITY MEMBERS, WHO WERE THE OWNERS OF THE CLUB AT THAT
TIME. THE BOARD THOUGHT IT NESESSARY TO ASK FOR THIS VOTE DUE
TO DECREASED REVENUES.
I AM CURRENTLY A EQUITY GOLF MEMBER OF LAKEWWOOD
COUNTY CLUB,AND BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW
1
7
YEARS, I HAVE BECOME AN ADVOCATE FOR APPEALING TO YOU AND
OTHERS TO PROVIDE A MUNICIPLE GOLF COURSE THAT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE FOR ALL THE COMMON PEOPLE IN
COLLIER COUNTY INCLUDING VISITORS. YOUR PURCHASE OF
LAKEWWOD WOULD BE A WIN-WIN SITUATION.
LAKEWOOD IS A SMALL CLUB AND IS CALLED THE "BEST PAR 60
GOLF CLUB IN SWFL". IT IS NOW ON THE MARKET FOR SALE.
EVENTUALLY MANY GOLF COURSES WILL BE PURCHASED BY
DEVELOPERS WHO WILL BUILD OVER MORE NATURAL AREAS THAT ARE
NOW SURRONDED BY HOMES. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE MADE
THAT POSSIBLE.
IN THE APRIL 2016 LAKEWOOD "LINKS"NEWS REPORTED THAT OUR
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD SAID TO WINK NEWS, (AND THIS A QUOTE)
" I TOLD THEM THEY WERE MISINFORMED. LAKEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB
HAD NOT NOR ARE WE GOING TO APPLY FOR REZONING.WHEN WE ASK
OUR MEMBERS FOR PERMISSION TO SELL OUR CLUB WE PROMISED THAT
THE LAND WOULD STAY AS A GOLF COURSE. WE INTEND TO KEEP OUR
PROMISE." END QUOTE.
THE CLUB HAS NOT INCREASED ITS ANNUAL FEES FOR EQUITY
MEMBERS FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS, EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW THERE
HAS BEEN INFLATION IN OUR ECONOMY. THREE OF THE DIRECTORS ARE
SNOWBIRDS,AND TO BECOME A NEW EQUITY MEMBER AT THIS TIME IT
COST AN EXTRA $4000. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL FEES. IF THE
CLUB IS SOLD THE EQUITY MEMBERS WILL SHARE IN THE AMOUNT AFTER
THE MORGAGE AND EXSPENSES ARE PAID.
SINCE 2016 MANY, MANY, ITEMS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED ON THE
SUBJECT OF GOLF COURSE CONVERSIONS. I HAVE COLLECTED SEVERAL
OF THESE ITEMS AND HAVE TAKEN ACTION TO PRESENT MY OPINION TO
ANYONE I THOUGHT MAY HELP MEET THE OBJECTIVE TO HAVE GOLF
AVAILABLE FORTHE COLLIER COUNTY COMMON PEOPLE AND VISITORS
AND SAVE THE GREEN LAND AREAS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
RECENTLY, (APRIL 2018),A BUYER FROM SPAIN HAS SHOWN
INTEREST TO BUY LAKEWOOD. ON APRIL 12TH, 2016, I INFORMED THE
DIRECTORS OF LAKEWOOD THAT "I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LAKEWOOD
BECOME A MUNICIPAL COURSE." LAKEWOOD DIRECTORS MINUTES
RECORDED MY STATEMENT AND PRINTED THE FOLLOWING, "DIANE
(HARTNETT)HAS CHECKED EVERY AVENUE TO PURSUE THIS GOAL AND
HAS GOTTEN NO WHERE WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS". END
QUOTE. IS IT TRUE THAT LAKEWOOD DIRECTORS HAVE CHECKED EVERY
AVENUE TO PURSUE THE GOAL OF LAKEWOOD TO BECOME A MUNICIPAL
2
1
GOLF COURSE AND HAS GOTTEN NO WHERE WITH THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS???
MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO I STARTED TO COLLECTED
HUNDREDS OF ITEMS CONCERNING GOLF COURSES. MANY ARE ABOUT
COUNTRY CLUBS, LARGE AND SMALL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE MANY
(MORE THAN 75 ) GOLF COURSES IN COLLIER,AND NOT ONE OF THEM IS A
MUNICIPAL OWNED IN COLLIER COUNTY. THESE CLUBS RANGE FROM A
LARGE ONE, THAT STATED IN THIER WEBSITE , " THE CLUB IS PERHAPS
THE BEST KEPT SECRET WEST OF US 41 IN NORTH NAPLES ". IT WAS
CREATED FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS, AND HAS NO HOUSES
NEAR IT". A SAMPLE OF SMALL IS THE ONE CALLED "THE BEST PAR 60
GOLF CLUB IN SWFL ". ITS LOCATED ON LAKEWWOD BLVD, EAST NAPLES
AND IS SUROUNDED BY HOUSES.
I HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS TO WHAT I CONSIDERED MAY BE ONE
OF THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON AND/OR COMPANY(COLLIER
ENTERPRSES) IN COLLIER COUNTY, AND ANOTHER LETTER TO ONE OF
THE GREAT LEGENDS OF GOLF WHO VISITS NAPLES SOMETIMES. I DO NOT
KNOW IF THEY RECIEVED THE LETTERS.
I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SMALL COMMUNITY GOLF
COURSES THAT BECOME DEFUNCK HAVE NO CHANCE OF BEING SAVED
FROM DEVELOPERS CEMENT UNLESS A POWER SUCH AS THE COLLIER
ENTERPRIRISES WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN AND ASSIST THE GOVERNMENT
OF COLLIER TO ESTABLISH MUNICICPAL COMMON GROUND GOLF
COURSES IN THIS COUNTY. WHY HAS COLLIER COUNTY NEVER HAD A
MUNICIPLE GOLF COURSE???
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I BELIEVE ANY GOLF COURSE IN COLLIER
COUNTY THAT HAS A TRAINED AND EXPERIANCED MANAGERS CAN
MAINTAIN A GOLF COURSE TO PAY FOR ITSELF AND/OR MAKE A PROFIT. .
SOME GOLF COURSE CLUBS THAT ARE MANAGED BY VOLUNTEER
DIRECTORS ARE LIKE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS. THEY ARE OFTEN
LIMITED IN TRIER MANAGING ABILITY.
THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF MUNICIPAL COURSES AROUND THE
NATION TODAY AND MANY STARTED OVER NINETY(90) YEARS AGO. WHY
NONE IN COLLIER COUNTY?? ONE WAS CALLLED A COMMON GROUND
GOLF COURSE. YOU KNOW, LIKE THE NICE PARKS WE HAVE FOR OTHER
SPORTS AND RECREATION, BUT NONE FOR GOLF!!!
MANY MUNI'S ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR
MANY YEARS AND HAVE FAIR AFFORDABLE PRICING, AND HAVE VERY
INOVATIIVE PROGRAMS AND ARE WELL MANAGED. THANKS; ED TAPPEN
