Public Works !\dministrator Clifford Barksdale explained that a ;; . . , . ' e'·~. ., ... petition to vacate the sixty foot bisecting easement within said property in Golden Gate Estates h~s becn received from the landowner, .. .. .. ., . r':~e .. ...' . '. that WMAB recommended approval administratively for said petition, ~nd that letters of "No Objection" f.rom ~ffccted utilitycompanjes have ...,:...,..;. ....:. becn received. He said that the bisccting f:asements were originally" ,", granted to future landowners from G!\C¡ that the methodolgy of vacations . ~.-: . . - ~ . . prescribed in the documents, which established the easements, was that letters of "No Objectio~" could be secured from contiguous landowners and that a document could be filed which would serve to vacatft the easement. Mr. Barksdale e~p1ained in detail the situation which prompted Florida Power and Light Company's attorney to recommend that the County go through Chapter 177 proceedings for vacations, which is the advertised public hearing and vacating of a plat. He described the research which resulted in the discovery that the easements, within the unit of land in question, were Quit Claim deeded by the County back to GAC, but the easements were really never granted to the County, they were granted to the future landowners, he,said. Mr. Barksdale pag e 3 ",1, . -----~~--,~. .....,. ~...,;~~, ~ ~:i;J t;;;I March 24, 1901 explained that because of thA forogoing reasons the public hearing is taking place today. Mr..John Lfdgard asked what the petitioner planned to build on the property and Mr. Barksdale explaineð that, the property is zoned for single family homes. Mrs. .Joyce Hancotte stated she was in favor of granting the vacation, but requested that the 31 affected units in Golden Gate Estates, each unit having more than 100 tracts, be given some consideration since, if the forcgoing proceduro is followed each time a vacation is requested, approximately 3100 people could be required to pay the $100 filing fee. After continued discussion Commissioner Kruse agreed that the situation was a problem and explained she had received calls from two real estate firms asking if the County could do something about the bisecting easements. ~! Chairman pistor explained that the Count'l has to pay to legally' research each individual's property and correct the deed, which repre- sents considerable cost. Mr. Barksdale explained that approximately 99\ of the easement vacations do not come before the Board, and that only if there is a problem with contiguous landowners' permission to vacate or if the attorney representing the people advises that a petition be filed to remove any cloud to the title is the $100 filing fee necessary. Mr. Barksdale explained the attempt which WaS made to resolve the problem two years ago, but no procedure ;;0 accomplish blanket vacation of all easements was achieved. Mr. Barksdale was directed to work with the County Attorneys to pursue an easier method ~f achieving the easement vacations. . Page 4 .~ 'j .. &oOK œo fACE 255 V','" ~ " .

Zoning Director Jeffory Perr~ referred to the F.xecutive Summary dated 3/23/81 comparing the parkin9 requirements of th~ previous ðnd c~rrent parking regulations and the petitioner's requested variance. He explained that the petitioner is proposing a 408,000 square foot retail shopping area, classified as a regional center; that the current ordinance requires one (1) parking space for each 175 square feet which would resul t in the need for 2,332 parking spa<.:es for, the proposed shopping center. Mr. Perry explained the old parking regulations would have required 1,035 parking spaces and that an Urban Plannin~ and Design Criteria manual, 'used as an information source, identifies a regional center as a site which encompasses a minimum of forty (40) acres which is the amount of land in question. He said that the floor area ratio to building to land area would require 4,000 parking spaces for a 400,000 square foot shopping center, and he explained that the petitioner is requesting one parking space for every 250 square feet, which would be 1,632 parki~g spaces, or ð 700 space variance based upo? a proposed 408,000 square foot shopping center. Mr. Perry stated that the staff maintains that no ,hardship has been shown for the variance Page 6 : I ./ . --- ~ F:'~ ~ March 211, 1981 and that the variÐnco should be denied. Commissioner Wimer asked if tho U.P.D.C. manual rocognized a square footage difference between a shopping c~nter a'nð a shopping mall to which Mr. Perry answered negatively. Commissioner Wimer noted that the petitioner felt if he did not place a roof over his particular shopping center he w~s well within the 11mits of tho p~rking r¿gula- tions, and Commissioner Wimer expressed his opinion that more rese~rr.h needed to be done on the subject. Chairman Plstor noted that the formula mentioned earlier would require 4,000 parking spaces and that the standard of Collier County which would require 2,332 parking spaces would be approximately half that recommendation. During the ensuing discussion the following points were made: 1. An enclosed mall, i.e. Coast1and Center, generates traffic above the amoun~ of people who come for retail trade, i.e. scheduled special events, as well as service vehicles and employees' automobiles. 2. Mr. Virtð' noted City of Naples' parking standards rcquire more spaces than the County ordinance provides, i.e. grocery store is 10 spaces for every 1,000 sq. ft. 3. The County parking ordinance recognizes one standard for a shopping center¡ some ^reas stipulate regulations three classifications, convenience centers, strip centers and regional centers, Mr. Virta said. Commissioner Wimer noted he felt there was a tremendous problem in Collier County with the lack of parking at convenience stores and suggested the requirement should be increased for smaller canters. In response to Chairm~n Pistor, Mr. Virta said the amenument passed last. su~mer affects everyone, but in some instances that increase may not h:'l V C he c I)-!'.~ e a l)i!J:JL.~r:l.lI'\j1i.§.LQ.D~.U.u!JlQL..1L~1.t~Ù;L,.b!LJ!..q~.1lLlU5~ e parking requirement for convenience stores to be reviewed.

He explalne.d no land beyond the 40 acres owned can be purchased, and that one parking space for every 250 sq~are fcet is the minimum his firm felt it could provide, ,because at least tw'o· (2) department stores are antic- ipated And one (1) store would take an average of 125 spaces per unit. He stated if the current regulation of one (1) for every 175 square feet would be used, the reduction to 350,000 square feet in the shopping center area would be necessary. A discussion followed during which the following points were made: 1. The current required size of a parking space in Fort Myers, Naples and Collier County is 10' by 20'. 2. Zoning of adjacent land prohibits purchasing additional property for ~he proposed shopping center. 3. Mr. Quaintance provided ,a ]o·...er variance request to Mr. Perry from last week's variance request. 4. Currently there is a consideration to change the parkirg space size to 9' by 18', according to Mr. Virta, but that would not "pick up" the 700 spaces that this petition reque~ts. 5. Mr. Quaintance explainod if the design for his shopping center would exclude a covored walkway, more parking spaces would be "picked up", b~cðuse the corridor squaro footage would not be counted in the shopping center size. 6. If the walkway is not covered, the proposed shopping'center would still not meet the parking requirements.

The grocery store requirements for parking would be provided based upon said store's square foot ðrea, the variance rcquest applies only to the 'remaining portion of the shopping center size. 7. 9. Mr. Quaintance requests to provide 1920 parking spaces considering all the calculations; currcnt parking ordinance requIres 2620 parking spaces, a difference of 700 parking spac e s. Commissioner Wimer asked Mr. Quaintancc if the regulations to reduce the parking space size to 9' by 18' from 10' by 20' were realized would that possibility solve the problem, and Mr. Quaintance stated it would help but the firm would still be unable to build a 400,000 square foot shopping center. Chairman pistor explained that the Board has tho firm's interest at heart, but the ~ommissioners have to consider the major problem which parking represents. Hearing that no persons were registered to speak on the petition, Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commis- sioner Kruse and carried unanimously, to close the public hearing. Commlssioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse and carried 3/2, with Commissioners Brown and Wimer opposed, to accept staff recommendation and deny Petition V-BO-19-C, Caxambas Realty, Inc. requesting a variance to the minimum parking requirements for ð pro- posed shopping center, Pa9 Q 9 r .

He explained that in Collier C~unty last ycai the State Attorney's office filed 42\ more felony charges, i . e. 612 cases as opposed to 431 cases for the year before; and thero was an increase of 14\ in the number of juvenile CÐses prosecuted. He said since January 1', 1981, four add it ional . - clerical personnel have been hired¡ for the past nine months there have' been five investigators instead of the usual three, working full time from the State Attorney's office; and, on April 1, 1981, an attorney from the State Attorney's Punta Gorda staff will be transferred to this office to handle the increased felony caseload. Mr. pellecchia stated that for the first two months of 1981 the caseload is ahead of 1980, therefore increased office and storago space is necessary. Mr. Pellecchia referrcd to Diagram 1 which was included in the Executive Summary dated March 13, 1981, and explained the proposed remodeling requests which would result in expanding the office into the eastern wing of the hallway. He indicated on an enlarged diagram on an overhead board the present location where the State Attorney and the Agriculture Department store supplies in the hallway adjacent to the offices. He located ð proposed wall at D7 on the Diagram I and ~ door which would enclose the hallway and give the State Attorney's Office 'access from the stairwell. Mr. pellecchia noted that the Fire Marshal Page 10 I, ..¡ .' .~~ þ ,'j L'i'Jr~ II;,;¡ - \l ~ March 2-1, 19R1 gave approvDl of the mOdificati?n over a year ago. He said that the proposal is to move the Agrlcul turC' ::>ep~n.ment' s mimeograph machine, .j: . :~ and some equipment used on ð daily basis, which is currently located at ) the far end of the hallwny near tho stairwell, to an area closer to the Agriculture Department's front ðoor. .He said if thore is an overflow of storage, he, felt that some arrangements could be provided for storage within the State Attorney's office for that department. The new door wo u 1 d be locked due to the felony and juvenile files which would be storerl in the area. He described tho major modification which would result in a library being provided from the present storago space, and the division of the present library into three offices. Mr. Pellecchia concluded by saying the aforementioned plan is only for short term expansion, with the cost to be approximately $3,455, but he said he would be sorprised if the modifications would provid~ the staff requirements beyond a year. He noted some incidental expenses, which would result from moving the mag card machine and the promised system computer termin~ls to a different locale in the office. 1\ short discussion followed during which Mr. Pellecchia expanded upon the Fire Marshal's approval of enclosing the hallway and he explained the door would only be locked at night.

(1IVATAR UTILITIES, IUC. OF FLORIDA) - CONTINUED. UNTIL APRIL l~, 19A1 Utilitios Manager Irving Berzon explained that on January 20, 1 01, at a Bo~rd ot County ðõmmi33ionc~-mccting, agreoment was '-.. reachcd with G^C which provided for the following: 1. G^C would be permitted to initiate the use of the requested rates which worc in their original application, until a public hearing WÐS held, which is being held this date. 2. GAC would provide the County with additional cost ðata in a manner which is basically consistent with the format that is used by the Public Service commission. 3. prior to the public hearing, the staff would attempt to give recommendations to the Commissioners with regard to the rate request. -. Mr. Dorzon explained the information requested was received from GAC on March 10, 1981 and that the County's consultant received the material approximately the same day, which left him wlth very little time to accomplish a detailed analysis and prepare a recommendation for the Board. However, Mr. Berzon said he felt it was to everyone's best interp.st to allow GAC and the consultant to make their presentations so that some decision could be made on the following points: 1. If the ra tes should stand. 2. If adjustments in the rates are in order. 3. If the Board may deem some other action necessary. Attorney B. Kenneth Gatlin, representing Avat.,,' Utilities, formerly G^C Utilities, Inc., stated that the company was named GAC Utilities at the time the application for a rate review was filed.

Mr. Gatlin stated that G^C still has the original application under fair value on file, and the Company is not waiving its rights under that franchise by filing the requested information. He said CAC's position is that the second filing clearly substantiates the request of the company for a rate increase. Mr. Gatlin asked that the following documents be accepted into the record and marked as a composite Exhibit 11: l.

Mr. Gãt11n referred the Boård's attention to Mr. Reeves' prepared statement contained in Exhibit 1-1, and Mr. Reev~s summ~rized that statement as being a history of the corporation since it was started in 1965, and the operation of the ~lants. Mr. Reeves explained the application for a rate increase was necessary due to inflation and extreme high cost of power, labor, and County tax cost¡ said tax cost having increased l147\ since the last rate filing, which was based on a test year of 1975, and filed in 1976. Mr. Reeves stated the company has not increased rates since the currcnt proceedings were commenced. t-Ir. t'lllliam H. lIoelke, witness for Avatar Util1t'1es Inc, Wo!lS sworn in by Chief Deputy Clerk Harold L.

Mr. Silverman stated that there are some differences botween the ., .,f initial filing by G1\C now known as Avatar and the information which is found in the "blue binders", which the Board has received as Exhibit 1. Mr. Silverman stated that some errors were discovered when the repre- sentatives of the company went through the re-statement, and he said if the Board notes some discropancies or inconsistencies between the initial and subsequent filing, the subsequent filing is the more accurate of the two, with respect to historical cost. Hc said that . using that subsequent filing, he visitéd Avatar at 2112 Gulf Gate Drivey Sarasota, Florida, on March 19, 1981, and reviewed the books and . records of the company. Mr. Silverman testified he found some errors of numbers contained in the application for a rate increase for tariff adjustment, and directed the Board's attention to Schedule E 2, of the book entitled "To Change Water Utility Rates in Golden Gate" (Exhibit 1-3). He noted some of those errors in the operating income statement by monthR for the year ended May 31, 1900. Mr. Silverman drew the Board's attention to the following ques- tions for which he has not received answers, and explaining that these questions would be raised at this hearing, he said he would give the Board the answers he had received, and he sugr,~sted that further ans,wers are necessary. 1. .E!!!plD..y.c,~..b,~.!ltlLL_"Yr"n<;"<; ro~ ,. reporting period and the month of " Dec. 1979 aie questioned.

Mr: ~ilverman stated he asked for an explanation for this great differencc, and said the answcr he received was that there was an allocation of retrospnctive insurnnce premiums' adjustments for automobile, crime, and third party liability coverage. Mr. Silverman stated that rctrospective adjustments ~ au.n ~_n(L-on-r."'A.Lt ;t _",I\. :.IiII-1".hAQ...J:>, nA.-f'" r- i .n"-r-"'~ f-lAcJ..n.lJ.~-' I r\dA - workmens' compensation; therefore, in order to normalize these expenses, said expenses should not have been -all buried" in the four or five months contained in the report as reflected, but should have been allocated between the yoars in which t:le ini tial premiums had been pa id. He stDted he could not report to the Board whethor the expense reflected represents an ongoing normal expense or whethor it is an extraordinary expense which should be removed from rata calculation. 2. Mr. Silverman said the cxplanation he had rcceived with respect to customer records and collection expense was that approximately $650 employees' salaries, charged to the January expense by Golden Gate Water personnel in handling customer records, wa~ normally charged to other expense accounts or capitalized. Mr. Silverman stated the explana- tion he received was that in January the manager went back and corrected previous postings and charged all of the time into the particular expense account¡ Mr. Silverman said he received no details to substantiate that explanation. 3. Noting questions on the "generic side" Mr. Silverman said he had asked for a breakout of the components of the $5,2B5 charged on the water side as a management fee. He stated books and records are maintained in Sarasota at Florida City \-later; Mr. Hoelke's office is in Coral Gahles, Florida, and he said he thought there waS some reasonable rationale for the component that gets charged to the water side for man- agement expense, as well as an explanation of a comparable amount charged on the sewer side in a similar account. Chairman pistor asked if the customer records and customer expenses included the salary or payroll clerk, since there was an item noted "Payroll" at the bottom of the schedule. and Mr. Silverman clarified the situation by stating that the "Payroll" item represents tax computations, which arc correct. Mr. Silverman explained similar discrepancies and questions which Page l6 ", ¡.........J ~ ~ .J' . March 2-1, 19C1 he discovered with rcgard to sewcr items which were listed in Exhibit 1-4, Schedulo L 2. Mr. Silverman summarized the net effect of his invesitgations in the last four days regarding CAC Utilities, Inc. rate rcview as follows: 1. If the discrepancies, which he outlined, between the reflec- tions of the books and records of the firm and the reports to the Board, Dre found to be valid, the total operating costs of the company would be lowered. 2. If the items of questioned expenses are found to be valid and should be spread or removed, that situation would also tend to lower the operating expenses reported to the Board. 3. When operating expenses ar~ lowered, the revenue requirements that a utility must have an opportunity to generate is reduced, in order for that firm to have the opportunity to achieve the rate of return, which the Board will permit the 'firm to try and achieve. Mr. Silverman stated that Avatar Utilities, Inc. has asked for a 14-1/2\ rate of return on equity. He stated that since 1975 this utility has been v1rtually debt free, which is an extremely unusual occurrence In regulated, small water and wastewater companies. He said the reason that he drew the Board's attention to that fact is because equity money is risk money, which traditionally cArries a higher rate of return than debt money. Mr. Silverman said the net effect in this case is that there is no debt and all equity, and that the provisions of the franchise agreement establish a range of reasonableness between 8' an1 12\ on fair value rate base, as ð basis of th~ opportunity to achieve a rate of rcturn for Avatar Utilities, Inc. Mr. Silverman stated that the 14-1/2\ increase request by Avatar would fall within ----.----------..----.----...--- the range as established by the Florida Public Service Commission, and Page 17 ,', SOOK 060 rACE269 .," ".- ..

He described the factors he used to ðrrive at his opinion, which he said was that the 14-1/2\ return would fall at the high end of tho range of reason- '_ :.. -::i~ ablenAss. .., .... . .. Mr. Silverman elaborated his opinions of the factors to be con- sidered for,a decisi~n to be made regarding a rate of return request. He suggested to the Board that not only are the expenses high but also the income tax computation is on the high side. He said he had veri- fication from the Collier County Tax Collector's office that the collection of the taxes without protest or appeal by the utility had been made. He stated in his opinion the rate of return that is -: requested is right at the threshold of what the Board has provided the company in the franchise agreement, since in the company's prepar~d tes~imony 8\ has been requested, which is the based rate of return that the Board has provided Avatar Utilities, Inc. an opportunity to achieve. Mr. Silverman said he did not take issue with the requested rate of return by Avatar Utilities, Inc., not withstanding all of his previous commentary and suggestions. He stated, however, if ,the adjustments which he suggested were made, Avatar would have to recompute its revenue requirement and, in turn, re-do its rate proposal, in order for them to be able to achieve the base rate of return which they have requested. ***Commissioner Drown left room:, 10:45 h.M.; Returned: 10:50 A.M.··· Chairman pistor stated he had some misgivings about tying the sewer rate to the amount of water used, especially in the area in Page 18 .'. .~ :.·1" t" .~ >f',Jij '"" iTa; ':~~.¡' ,)'.:1 C;.;~t·W ........-"., . ~ c=:I ./' March 24, 1981 question, because he said he rc~li2ed unle£s people have two water metcrs there is a lot of water which is used for irrigating lawns, etc. He asked if a 3,000 gallons per month maximum charge 'is realistic. Mr. Silverman explained that trDdional1y thor~ is no reasonabl~ way to measure wastewater through a small meter. lie said it has either been flat-rated or based upon the w~ter volume. Referring to the ~erican Water Works Association, he said th~t through a study by th~t organi- zation over .many years criteria for developing sewer charges was made. Mr. Silverman stated Avatar's pcrogative is rate design¡ the Board's pcrogativc is to cstablish the rate of return and the level of revenues necessary for them to have the opportunity to achieve that rate of return. Responding to Chairman pistor, Mr. Silverman stated the only recommendation he could make is that the initial rates of return which Avatar has requested overall are at the bottom end of what the Board has established in the franchise agreement. He said he took issue with Avatar's determination of their rcvenue requirement, because he thinks the ~xpenses of the company are too high, and the revenue required m~y be able to be lowered, which would impact on the rates. ****RECESS: 11:00 A.M.

Responding to Commissione~ Wenzel, Mr. Berzon said the size of the meter as a base charge explains the increased projected rate. County Manager Norman interjected that a smaller meter might be needed in Mr. Brawner's case. Mr. Borzon recommended that the pu~'tc hearing be continued for at least another two weeks since the requested information was furnished within the past ten days, which did not give ample time to prepare an adequate recommendation to the Board, and because he feels questions have been raised, which should be investigated with regard to the wðy the franchise itself is being inte,rpreted. lie suggested at that time, the staff return with a recommendation regarding the rates and any oth~r appropriate matters which apply to the rate application. Commissioner Kruse requested that anyone in the audience, who said they have had a rate increase, take their bills to Mr. Bcrzon, and he asked that those persons also bring prior bills for comparison. Mr. Gatlin agreed to the continuation as long as the rates will bo continued under the earlier ilgrecment.

Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Kruse and carried unanimously that the public hearing for the fate review for GAC Utilities, Inc. be continued for two weeks to April 7, 1981, ~nd ðt the request of Avatar Utilities, Inc. the public hearing was continued until April 14,1901. County Attorney p'ickworth noted that the purpose for the continuation was to clarify the points which Mr. Silverman raised, in ~egard to Avatar's revenue requirements, any questions that the staff has regarding the franchise interpretation, and an unanswered question regarding a rate increase two year's ago, of which the County has no record. Commissioner Wimer asked Mr. Silverman to explain the 3-1/2 mHlion dollar equity value Qn,' Mr. Silverman said that the total common stock equity shown in the application was approximately 3.3 million dollars with no outstanding debt. He stated he would verify those figures, and he explained that number represented total capital stock, total equity investment, of ^vatar in the utility subsidiary company, which would then be broken down between its two divisions, water and sewer. A short discussion occurred between Commissioner Wimer and Mr. Berzon regarding the negotiations which transpired a few years ago with regard to the purchase of the utility systems by the County.

Mr. Catlin stated he did not understand that the original agreement would mean the company would have any retroactive adjustment on rates and he said any service rendered after the date on which the Board rules would be applicable to the new rate, not any service prior 'T to that~ Commissioner Kruse questioned Mr. Silverman regarding the com- mercial rate structure.and the concept that when an establishment is new there is a rate connected to the size of a line or meter. She asked if the previous was rate structure based upon this same principle and Mr. silverman said he was unable to anÐwer that question, because he had not examined a rate proposal, since his'qucstions go to the ,heart of the revenue requirements.

A discussion followed during which the point was made that other churches have been granted provisional use in this area. County ~ttorney pickworth explained that the issue before the Board is whether or not to extend a. provisional use \orhich has been' granted. Community Development Director Terry virta said that the original approv~l was for one year and that the ordinance provides that the Board may grant an extension of one year. The point was made that the provisional use expires only if construction is not commenced within the one year time period and some questions wer~ raised as to what constitutes actual construction.

Sheriff's Department planner Don Hunter explained that he has reviewed the 1ease for the North Naples Sheriff's sub-station and found it to bo satisfactory. In answer to Commissioner pistor he said that, contrary to claims that have been made regarding the availability of adequate space at less cost, he has found very few places that would be the optimum size and still afford the amenities required for this type of operation. He said that a smaller area is preferred over a larger one and that he feels the subject building will be adequate for the intended use. There was a discussion regarding the use of a por~ion of the proposed library rather than a leased building, during which County Manager Norman explained that this was considered¡ however, it is felt that the library building would not be considered suitable for use by th~ Sheriff's Department for a sub-station. Ã1so discussed briefly was the length of the subject lease, with Commissioner Wenzel commenting that it seemed to him that a simple standard lease could have been used. Mr. Hunter explained tha~ the subject lease is an edited form of the County's library building lease and was prepared by the County Attorney. Commissioner Wenzel stated that he prefers to see the County house its faciliti~s in buildings that are owned by the County. and that ,he is not in ~avor of paying rent.'

March 24, 1981 CONTRACTUAL ACREf.MENT WITH INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMS, INC., APPROVED FOR CII^IRMAN'f) EXECUTION Neil Dorrill, ^dmlnlstrative Assistant to the County Manager, reported that representatives from ISI had originally requosted to make a presentation to the BeC on February 24, 1901 and subsequent to that request, the County Managor's office requested' ISI to include a renewal request for their contract which has beon in an extension period since August of last year. He said that ISI was also asked to give the County Manager's office sufficient time to survey tho level of sorvices rcceived by various Departments and, thus, the matter has been scheduled for this morning's agenda Mr. Dorrill said that a staff analysis and survey response of service provided by the subject firm over the last 18 months is in . accompaniment with the proposed contract and that conclusions, based on the survey, indicate the following: I. Of the responses received, only ja\ s~id that thoy (Division Administrators, Department heads and Consti- tutionAl Officers), have received some type of assist- ance from ISI over the last IS months. 2. Of that 38%, two (2) departments had successful appli- cations of $500,000 and $3,450, respectively. 3. Of the eleven (11) responses received, the overall services of ISI were rated as follows: a) 18\ poor¡ b) 36\ fair; c) 18% good; and, d) 28% not responding because no service was received. 4.

Referring to ð contract review, Mr. Dorrill reported that the contract ia not subject to negotiation; tho fee ($25,000) will remain the same as in previous agreements1 and, there are two major changes in MOK oao fl.CE-rsJ7 Page '-9 ---->;-'"'--~,- 1 ; BOOK 060 rACE 308 jy"r March 24, 19n1 ., >~;~ , i~11~ ·i~;:' ,..',i1~. :)''Y:'¡'~ . - -~ ·!~tf' '''.' ,', .:~/;. ~ . ." ...:-'...,-.,jo .~: ;¡. the proposed contract: a) thero is a requirement for paymont in full upon execution of the contract '. and, "b) the client's responsibility to initiate the extension period. Mr. Dorrill st~tcd that from the County's perspective, both of these changes seem less advantageous than previous provisions. Mr. Dorri11 said that 'it would be advantageous to have as aggressive a grants program as possible whicil could be attained by having a full time employee with the responsibility for grðnts co- ordination under the jurisdiction of the BCC, said grants person would provide better coordination among County departments and agencies and would establish direct personalized relationships among funding agen- cies and the County. Therefore, said Mr. Dorri1l, it is staff's recommendation that the Board deny the contract renewal with ISI for . -.,. grants consu1ting¡ ñlso, that the development of a more aggressive in-house approach,to grants coordination at similar costs now allocated for consultive services be initiated contingent upon the availability of funds in the current budget. Ms. Deborah Baker, representing ISI, reported that 3ince the County has engaged her firm, it has received a $20 return on every $l that it has invested, and that ISI has been instrumental in tho County receiving approximately 1.6 million dollars in grants that have not required matching funds over the past four years for $75,000 in con- tract~a1 fees paid to ISI. She gave a brief argument for not having an in-house grants coordinator, including the fact that, based on the $25,000 spent each year for ISI services it is not likely that the County could duplicate the services received from ISI and still only spend that amount. She noted that a skilled grants person would cost the County well over $15,000 in yearly sa~ary, plus benefits, and that .:" PlIgo 30 .i: ", ',,:~ '~.¡ . ,; '.~~ '.-:~~ ~_.__~......... .-c_,'--"-'_'-' ~~...__"~"''''''__ t;;;:J I:::J " 1I'~.,'J¡I,,·j1 , , .

Sho contended that under no circumstances could one person have tho expertise in all areas that a firm as large as ISI has readily available; neither would they have the monitoring capabilities that ISI offcrs, in relation to daily changes in legislation that affect grants, throuah its monitoring systcm which is bascd in Washington D.C, She referred to recent budgot cuts of the Reagan Administration and reminded the Aoard that grants money will become harder and harder to come by in the future and that ~n in-house grant~ person would never be able to match the available resources that ISI has to offe r. Ms. Baker said that she does not agree with ,all of the statements that Mr. Dorril1 has made and said that she believes the Executive Summary dated 3/18/81, inclusive of the material in the corresponding agenda package distributed to the Board, is not totally accurate nor is it complete. She said that the information does not correspond with the in~ut that ISI has gathered during the past months and that the Departments that ISI have contact6d have related that they wish to continue the services with ISI. She said that while it is true that not every department and office in the County has been served by ISI, the Board should conRider that IS! is not bound to serve all of the needs of all of the County Departments. Ms. Baker referred to Private Foundation Grants about which ISI ha~ recently been developing an extensive knowlege and is a source from which many grants will be coming in the fut~re. An in-house grants person, she said, would not have that thorough knowledge to offer the County. She also referred to the annual contract cost of $25,000 and said that this has remained constant for Collier County even though ISI \ ' MOK 060 rACE 3J9 Pago :n .... -.. ..-.

She also referred to the number of grants that were prepared by 151 and Were successful during thp. extension period that Mr. Dorrill alluded to oarlier and said that ISI completed this work in good faith. Sho said t1i-.itõneõI-'tTiešcgrà~ùppíTcatTõ"n-Š- was not succ~šsfuT-bëcãüše, without ISI's knowledge, the County submitted a duplicate application for' the same grant w~lch lead to one having to be pulled out and the County chose to pullout ISI's application. It has been learned by I5I, she continued, that it is not likely that the County's application will be funded. She said that ISI has always known that you cannot submit two applications for grants to the same agency and this Is one example of how the County could have benefited from ISI's experience because the County, obviously, was not aware of this important fact. Ms. Baker listed the various areas in which ISI in interested in developing potential grants, including some that have' never been explored. She said that ISI wished to renew their contact with Collier County and feels that they have a lot to offer the County that could never be available from the use of one in-house grants person. Referring to the change in the contract regarding a one~time payment of $25,000 upon execution of the contract, Ms. Baker said that ISI would be receptive to changing this to 1/2 payment upon execution and the remaining 1/2 in six months. She explained that the affirmative obligation clause is included because, as the recipient of the grants, the County is the hody who is notified when and if a grant is accepted or rejected, and not 151. She said that this provision Is also open to discussion if the Board chooses. She emphasized the fac~ that this provision is in no way meant to be considered as a provision that was added in an attempt to Pago 32 , /, ~""""""--,_.,,,,-~ ~ ¡::;:] .... March 2-1, 1901 "trick" the BCC into missing ou~ on an exten~ion; ISI has boen involved in extonsions with the County before, sðid Ms. Baker, ^nd would not attempt to negate ðn extension in the future. In conclusion, Ms. Baker read the remarks submitted by the Com- munity Development Division in their reply to the aforementioned survey, which lndicDted concurrence with many of the points that she made during her presentation, including the fact that gr~nt money will probably be limited in the next four years due to Federal Policy changes. An experienced grant person, whether on an in-hou5e basis or on a consulting basis like ISI, will be a must, she said, and that it would be difficult to duplicate ISI's experience and expertise with one in-house person¡ especially for $25,000. She said that the last remark in the reply states that if the job is to be done right it must be done with the appropri~te expertise and staff. Commissioner Pistor said that he would have to hear from the staff as he is not familiar with certain areas commented on by Ms. Baker, including the part that ISI has played in obtaining Block Grants. He said that he would like confirmation from the staff that IS1 did all of the work claimed by Ms. Bakcr as it is his impression that certain members of the staff prepared the grant papcrs and forwarded them. He said, regarding the duplicated grant application, that this was an unfortunate matter and resulted from a lack of communication within the staff. Continuing, he said that the BCC authorized tho one that they felt would do thc most good for the County when the problem of ---d upl-ï-ca tion--was-- broug h to- to-thtd r-at"t1!n ti·orr;----· Commissioner Wimer observed that he can relate to many of the things that Ms. Baker has just covered bccausc he can remember when the Board tried thc in-house staff ðpproach to grant applications and what .: &OOK 060 rJICE311 Pagf} 33 ,.f .... ......---..... '.--.-, '" ( ¡ Li ~~m March 2~, 1961 a dismol failure it waG at that time. He said that the only thing accomplished was the initiatlo~ of the building of another laycr of bureaucracy. Time and money wero exp~nded in order to train a person, said the Commissioner, and he considers the attempt a failure. He added that ISI's r~cord speakü for itself and suggested that the ~oard put personal judgements and statements asido and base thoir decisioQ on this record. He said that ISI has always maintained that it is absolutely necessary that they have a good working relationship with the staff; they cannot do it alone, nor can the staff do it alone. He concurred that grant monies will be tighter and he would like to have the specific needs of the County addressed by experts. Commissioner Wimer said that he is in favor of renewing the subject contract with some of the changes that have been suggested. He said that he is very concerned with the idea of the, Board considering the premise of running County Government based on a popularity contest amoni the County staff. Ms. Baker interjected the statement that she does not presume to indicate that ISI has a~cornplished all of the work mentioned withoút the staff's help¡ that is impossible. She said that the staff has been instrumental in doing a lot of the work¡ however, ISI has been there to hanple the project development, the coordination of the forms, the timing, and the knowledge of what certain agencies like HUD consider priorities, etc. Commissioner Kruse said that she concurs that grant funds are going to get tighter; she does not believe that $25,000 will cover the cost of an in-house grants person; and that the Board should consider that, while they advocate developers keeping abreast of changes in zoning regulations, they should also consider that the Federal and St~te Government changes policies regarding grants almost daily and, Page j4 ---'''''--··~·_.PP ~ ~ ~ ..... ',' ..' March 7.-1, 1981 thus, the County needs to have some way of monitoring these changes faster than anyone based here in Collier County is capable of doing. She also said that she feels this is a specialized field and cannot see the Board adding additional persons to the staff to handle something as precise as grant coordination. Commi~cioner Wenzel said that he is hoping that all Federal "giveawaysW programs will be eliminated. He said that he is concerned that ISI will not be able to be as efficient as they ~laim if such programs should become unavailable¡ however, he concurred with Comm- missioners Kruse and Wimer that $25,000 per year will never cover the cost of setting up an in-house operation. He said that if the contract could contain a clause that would allow the County to cancel the contract after a perio~ of 6 months if these "giveaway programs" are cut and these funds are not available, he is inclined to go along with the renewal with ISI. Ms. Baker said that this would not be feasible as 6 months is not sufficient time to complete a great amount of successful work. However, she assured the Board that the programs that are being cut by tho Reagan Administration are aimed at eliminating the kinds of programs that are really not necessary and might be considered as "fringe benefit programs" adding that there will still be plenty of sources for funds. Commissioner Brown said that he has only praise for the work that ISI has accomplished thus far, especially for the things that have been developed for the Immokalee area. Deputy Chief Raymond B~rnett stated ._._--_.._._---,¿._--....._--------~-------_._--_.. .---- that because all of the grants for the Sheriff's Department have been obtained from LEA A funding they have never used ISI's services. However, he added, LEAA grants have been zero funded and, therefore, the Shoriff's Department would like to be included in the purview of MOK 060 PACE 313 Page 35 .

Community Development Administrator Terry Virta sðid that he considers the point"suffië-iently clarified rË¡-gllrding-r:Ï1ecooperat on and team relationship between his dIvIsion lIn~ ISI in the preparation of the pre-applIcatIon for the Community Dev~lopment Block Crant. He said that one item of InformatIon that needs to be brought out to set the rccord straight is that the County does not have that grant yet. Collier County hlls been invited to apply for the grant, said Mr. virta, noting that pr~-ðpp1Ication acceptance usually implies that, if you do apply, it will be granted¡ however, the final applIcation still remains to be prepared and, until that is approved, the County does not actually have that haIr a million dollars. Ms. Baker concurred on the status of the Block Grant and with Mr. Virta's conclusion that once a pre-application has been received and approved it usually means that it will go through. She added that it has been ISIts experience that a grant of thIs status has nevcr been turned down. She said that, unless the County were to completely change the proposed project or make some other drastic changes, she sees no reason for losing the funding, commenting that ISI has never lost one at th~t point. Commissioner Wimer moved that the contract be renewed on a 50/50 basis, (50\ now and 50\ in six months). Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. After hearing Ms. Baker state that all entities ôf County Government, including all Constitutional Officers, are included within the subject contract, the motion carried 3/2, wIth Commissioners PIstor and Wenzel opposed.

SOARD TO INTERVIEW ~ FIRMS RECOMM~NDED BY THE ~RCHITECT SELECTION COMMITTEE RE GOVERNMENT CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT ON 3/31/01 William McNeel, of Polizzi/neery, delivered a report and recom- mendation authorized by the Architect Selection Committee which has P/leJ e 38 , ", ~ ~ ~.. ~ . .'to.

After explaining the process by which the various firms were considered, from the time the various proposals werc received by the County through the final interviews and ratings of each, Mr. McNeel said that based on the PHI and PHII evaluation forms and a possible perfect score of 1,950, the firms evaluated were rated as follows: FIRMS RATING I.

Prindle, Patrick and Associates 1,400 Mr. McNeel stated that it is his recommendation that the Board authorize negotiations with the firm at the top or the above-referenced list based on the fact that the distribution of scores between that firm and the number two firm is so large1 specifically, 167 points. Commissioner Wenzel moved to accept the recommendation of Mr. McNeel. lie added that he wants it made perfectly clear that, since the County has already hired Pollzzi/lleery to perform the supervisory anci coordination functions regarding this project, he will not voto to pay any $tandard architectural fees to whichever firm is negotiated with tha~ are inclusive of the standard fees for such services. lie said that he knows what the standard fee is for that portion of a project and that amount of architectural fees should be deducted. County Manager Norman said that he understands that the contract will be writton in such a way as to elimInato any duplIcation of sorvIcos.

Commis~ioner Wenzel said that he understands .---.. that the architect will be making normal job inspections which is normal procedure. Mr. McNeel asked Commissioner Nenzel if he is referring to the day-to-day on-site coordination of jobs and Commis- sioner Wenzel agreed that he was, adding that he considers it Polizzl/Hoery's job to coordinate all work performed by various contractors. Mr. McNeel concurred. The motion on the floor died for lack of a second and the discussion continued. Commissioner Kruse aked Mr. McNeel if he is recommending that the Boðrd not hear all four firms' presentation and Mr. McNeel said that the Board still has the option t?'do so if they wish. He said that the Committee's initial approach was to have the firms "short1isted" and, originally, there were going to be three firms recommended, all óf which would have beon qualified in the mind of the Selection Co~mittee. However, he continued, because of the point spread, it b~came apparent that the first firm was the best choIce. Commissioner Wenzel clarified that his intent was to automatically proceed down the recommended firms, according to the ranking, if the negotiations were not successful with the first. Mr. McNeel said that the Selection Committee has followed, to the letter, the State Statute governing competitive consultant negotiation. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the manner in which the recommendation has heen made, during which Commissionor Wimer said that it was his impression that the Selection Committee-was to interview pago 010 ", 'JJ',,~,,' ~ ".:' '.

County Manager Norman said that bec~use of the close point values placed on each of the three firms on the bottom of the rating scale, the Committee felt it would not be prudent to remove the one firm from the bottom based on a difference of only four points. This is when the Committee ~ecided to recommend only tho top firm, said Mr. Norman, commenting thnt the Committee is only trying to help the Board shorten the process. Commissioner Kruse said that mp.mbers of the public have stated that the Board is abdicating their final responsibility if they were to expend this much money without really being sufficiently knowledgable regarding the respective firms involved. She said that she feels that this is a valid point and tends to agree that, if all five members of the Board are voting to award the contract, then all five should at least listen to the firms' proposals. Mr. McNeel said that this would have been done if the Committee felt that they could have recommended any three of the four firms as being equally qualifiod; however, the option to hear all four firms' presentntions is open to the Board's discretion. Mr. McNeel said that the Committee felt that the Board would arrive at the same conclusion as they after the four weeks work in making this selection.

Cbmmissioner Wimer said that, historically, if the BCC authorizes the initiation of negotiations with a specific firm, those negotiations cont IIU~ until an equitablo arrangement has been reached. He said that he would like to become familar with the firms before he votes to negotiate a contract. He ~lso said that, historically, the solection committee has always come back to the Board with a short list of firms and that he is not aware of a policy change or any directive to change this procedure. He said that he doesn't approve of the Board being prejudiced on account of a recommendation for first choice from the committee, nor, would he like to see any political motivation involved in the choice of a firm for this project. The discussion continued and, when asked if the Board ever authorized ncgotiat~ons with the first choice of a committee in regard to engineering projects, Public Works ^òministr~tor Clifford Barksdale explained that the law provides for the selection commi~tee to conduct the interviews and make a rccommendation based on their ranking and the Board has the option of hearing the prcsentations of those firms on a short list and making th~ir own selection of ratings for the top firm on that list. He said that in the road projects the presentations were made to the Board and then the Board authorized the staff to conduct the negotiations with their first choice. Commissioner Wimer said that, although the Board has this option, in this particular case the Board will have to overturn something that has already been done. He said that, if it is necessary, he would like it put down in writing that the Board shall mako its own choice of ratings and the staff will then be authorized to enter negotiations with that choice. County Manag~r Norman said that Page 42 ~ ~h .:.:J ..... March 2/1, 1901 if the policy of the Board is that specific, be did not recall that it was. Commissioner Wimer said that it is not in writing but that it has been a standard proceduro for the six years that he has becn aware of. County Managor Norman said that he did not know the ß~ard has not r~ceived a recommendation in this manner commenting that the Committee used a technique that Polizzi/Heery recommended. no added that he understands Commissioner Wimer's feeling that "the harm has been done" if, in fact, there has becn any harm done. He said that he felt that the numbers of the rankings were so dramatic that the Board should be made aware. Noting that the motJon died for lack of a second, Commissioner Wimer made the motion that the Board interview the four firms outlined in the above-referenced recommendation on 3/31/81. He said that the presentations should be limited to fifteen minutes. Commissioner Bro~m seconded the motion' which carried unanimously. There was a brief discussion as to the time for the interviows, during which it was decided that the staff set the time of the interviews to begin at 2:00 P.M.¡ that each presentation be 15 minutes; 6nd, that an additional 15 minutes be allotted for each firm to answer questions from the Board. ..........Commissioner Kruse left the room at this time·········· Tim!::: 12:32 r.M. --------_..__._---_._-_._._---.~- ----_..-------- .... ßOOK œo fACE&:.'5 , rðge ~3 '. _.......-~ " . . , .

He further noted that the new lease extends the written notice for termination by either party from 10 to 30 days.

BUDGET FT.GURES RE COLLIER COUNTY EMERGP.NCY MEDICAL SERVICF. - APrROVED; LE^SE ^GREEMF:NT FOR EXISTING NORTH N^PLF:S Þ.MßUL^NCE STATION - ^PPROVED. County Manager Norman referred to a summary of the proposed budget for the Collier County Emergency Medical Service (Fund 450) outlined within the Executive Summary dated 3/23/81 and said that, for the balance of the current fiscal year, approximately $516,000 will be required_ Also required will be an appropriation of $~1,555 from Contingency in order to havo the revenues equal to expenses. He said that, because of the short time the Board has had to study this budget, it is not necessary that the Board adopt it today: however, it would facilitate bookkeeping operations if this budget were added to the computer as soon as possible. He said that Mr. Douglas Greenfield, tho EMS Director, has prepared a comparison sheet which shows the dif- ference in projected costs if the County wero not about to begin its own EMS operation and if the personnel were going to be paid the same, annual rate and have the same benefit costs as they have been while employed with 1\merican Ambulance. Copies of the comparison were dis- tributed to the Commissioners and a copy accepted by the Deputy Clerk and marked as Exhibit "A". He said that this has been done so that the Board can better understand why there is an increase to the County relating to the subject operation.

In answer to Commissioner Kruse, Mr. Norman said that he is confident that the County c~n obtðin the projected 75\ collection rate through the use of tho type of system that the County will install, noting that American Ambulance's collec- tion rate ran between 50% to 60% He further stateò that also to be considered is the fact that the County will be taking over the EMS operations during the "off-season" portion of the fiscal year. H~ said that all the figures indicated in the aforementioned documents are reflective of the exact figures reported by ~~erican Ambulance for the months of April through the end of September increascd by 15\ due to growth. Mr. Greenfie1cl referred to the comparison sheet entitled BUDGET STATUS EXPLANATION IN RF.FERENCE TO RECOH~F.NDED RUDGF.T FOR COLLIER COUNTY EMS and stated that it reflects an increase in salaries and benefits totaling S67,202.00 over what the previous proviðer was allowing his people to operate. Also, said Mr. Greenfield, the items that will be initially incurred in order to set up the EMS operations total $26,660.00, bûsed on the best estimates available at this time. Ite said that this is an overall increase of $93,066.00 for the first 6 months of operation¡ however, this will be reduced over the next year. Thore was a brief discussion regarding p~ojections for uniform ----.------ --.-----...------.-------------.---..-. purchases: the types of uniforms¡ and the fact that there has been no concrete evidence as to who paid for tho uniforms with rcgards to the the present provider, as explained by Mr. Greenfield. Commissioner Wimer asked where the County's cost of billing, etc. MDX 000 r/lCE 345 Pa9 e ., 9 , " '~ '.;: . . r,- ~ . . 800K 000 fACE 346 March 2t1, 19ß1 is reflected in tho subject proposed budget and Mr. Greenfield said that would fall under the category of Contractual Services, object Code 349. Ho said that a figure of $B,OOO was arrived at with Fiscal Officer lIarold Hall which inc~udp.s postage, billing forms, ete., that will be necesÐary. In answer to Commissioner Wimer, Mr. Hall said'that the projected $8,000 is accurate and should be sufficient, however, . next year that figure may double. He said that there will be three mailings per bill, if necessary for collection, and that the $B,OOO includes one clerk, a 30\ indirect cost factor, data processing and mailing costs. He said that mailing costs were figured on initial mailings and SO\ of those requiring a 30-day followup mailing. Com- missioner wimer asked if Mr. Hall's time and labor have been figured into this cost? Mr. Hall said that it does not include preparatory charges and that, hi~toriçally, for those areas whore the Clerk's office has 00ne into a new program certain indirect charges such as his time/labor are not charged to that department He concluded by saying that the subject budget 'figure only represents direct costs that will be charged once the' program is started. Mr. Hall said that there is always the chance that, after the billing operation is underway, the cost could as much as double in a year from now. Commissioner Wimer stated that he wants to be very sure that the budget figures for the County's ambulance service are not undcresti- mated. He said that the idea that the County can run the ambulance service cheaper than it is being run now has more or less been dis- pellcd and that he believes that it will cost the County more to provide the same quality of service that has been previously provided. He said that regardless of the amount of money that will be require~, he will vote to provide it as long as ncne of the costs for this Pagc 50 -,.'. . .

Mr. lIa11 I1ssurcd the Board that the $0,000 is intonded to reflect the full costs in the same manner as has been applied to all other enterprise services. Commissionor Brown asked why the Fiscal Officer, County ^ttorney, etc. timo is not directly charged against the ambulance service budget, ~n4 the County Attorney explained that if this were done, it would have to be done in relation to all of the County's services. County Manager Norman agreed, adding that many other departments, such as Personnel and purchasing, would have to be considered llS they all have con- tributed towards this effort. Commissionor Brown expressed his dis- pleasure in the manner in which the press has reported the entire issuo relative to the ambulance service and he stated that it is his intent to be absolutely clear as to the actual costs involved in the upcoming ~akcovcr of EMS operations by the County and that he wants it in black and white, in the ~cdia, and in the Minutes of this meeting. He said that he will vote for the money because the people of this County have to have this service. He said that he believes that it has become a political issue and he requested that the record reflect that he has stated that he will vote for whatever money is needed as long as it is all laid out in black and white. Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioncr Wimer and carried unanimously, that the budget figures for the Collier County Emergency Medical Service b~ approved.

County Manager Norman saId that he has been meetin~ with ~ericn ^mbulance representatives, during which it was discovered that'the --------------- existing North Naples statión on U.S. 1\1 North will bocome available on ^pril ~, 1981. He said that, subsequent to this, Mr. Greenfield has negotiated, and the ~ounty Attorney has prepared, a Lease for same building. He said that it is his recommendation that the Board iluthorize the execution of that Le a s e wh I c h will cost $300 per month; is on a month-by-month basis¡ and, will have a 90 day guaranteed- termination notification clause. He said that the reason for the month-to-month basis is because it is a part of a larger picce of property and is currently for sale along with a motel. Commissioner wimer moved for approval of the Lease for execution by the Cha i rman. Commissioner Kruse asked if the $300 per month is reflected in the budget figures just approved? Mr. Norman replied affirmatively. Commissioner Wenzel scconded the motion which carried unanimously. During a brief discussion regarding the proximity of th~ ambulance station to the City of Nðples' limits, Commissioner Wimer suggested that the Mayor be notified that the ambulance will not be moved any farther away from the City, after the County takes over, than it was previously, Commissioner pistor said that he has told the Mayor that the County intends to continue this service for at least thrce to six months under the exact same format that it has been operated under, until such time as the County has ~ feel for the true cost of operating the ambulance service. County Manager Norman concurred, adding that also to be discovered are the problem areas, and where the locations Page 52 ¡ , . ",. I '-,1, .

Commissionor Wimor noted that the City has coverage from both ends of tho City and is, therefore, auto- matically covered in the case of one ambulance being out. H$ said that if the station was in the middle of the City, and the vehicle out on a run, the City would have no such coverage. Also discussed was the claim that the City has the highest number of ambulance calls, the efforts being undert~ken to verify this and other relative matters. Mr. Greenfield reported that ho currently has a paramedic on staff who is assisting him in the preparation of a zoning map for the entire County which will be utilized to locate some of the more active areas relative to ambulance service and which will enable him (Mr. Greenfield) to address this issue at a later date. .,~ ; 'A-':-l~~ ,- ,.J......~...." ..~~.. ·,~,;~~tt'··'1'~t"'~~'~,,'. ~J .1....~j .

Commissioner Wimer explained that the intended library building will complete the County's library system; that the people in North Naples have been waiting for three years for this building¡ that the subject area is the second largest usage area in the County's library system¡ and, that he feels it is appropriate that the County f~llow through with the conntruction of the subject building. Mr. Joder added that the continued use of the small store- front for a library is not conducive to upgrading the system and that certain services to the public are limited by the lack of sufficient space and, therefore, cannot progress.

County Managor Norman statod that in recognizIng th~ needs of the Marco Island Sheriff's sub-station for custodial services once that facility is opened, along with those of the Marco Island Branch Library facility, he is recommending the approval of the creation of a full time custodial position to serve theso two facilities. He outlined various problems associated with the practice of employing part-time custodial help; thc fact that contractual service is currently being studied¡ and concluded that the Board's approval of the aforementioned position is needed in the meantime. Commissioner Wimer said that he would prefer outside contractual service for these two facilities and, upon hearing from Mr. Norman that the approval of th~ subject position will not preclude such a method and that this approval would not have to be a permanent solut~on, movod for approval of the full time custodial position. Commissioner Wenzel seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

Mr. Wilcox said that, based on this provision, competitive ficld guotationG were receivcd for the construction of the addition to the County's motor pool facilities from three local vendors as outlined more fully within the Executive Summary dated 3/20/01. He said that the firm of ^luminum & Glass Dcsigns sub~ittcd tho lowcst quotation and he recommendod that the Board acknowledge the emergency, wai,~ the bid process, and award the contract for the aforementioned 'construction to the subject firm in the amount of $4,900.00. tommissioner Wenzel moved to accept the staff recommendation and Commissionel Wimer seconded the motion. There was a dJscussion regarding whether or not the subject expenditure is reflected in the EMS budget tentatively approved earlier this session, during which Fiscal Officer Harold Hall stated that the total amount is not reflected in the budget figures approved thIs morning; what is included is the amount of deprecIation that is chargðble to that year. Commissioner \."imer asked Mr. l1all if the County would be expanding the motor pool facilities if it were not taking over the ambulance service and Mr. Hall replied negatively.

Commissioner Wimer said that he believos thnt the motor pool bays were never intended to sorvice those larger trucks and, if the policy of the Board regarding the motor pool facilities' use for servicing County vehicles at the Complex has changed, he would like to know about it. lie said that if tho motor pool is doing work that should be done at the County barn, he also wants to know about that because he understood that all large trucks wore to be serviced at the County barn. Mr. Wilcox said that this is true, except that he now has a number of one-ton tru=ks in his pool which bo1ong to the parks and Recreation Department that are serviced by motor pool and not the barn. Commissioner Wimer said that he does not care who owns them¡ tho motor pool wa~ designed for light vehicles only. In answer to Commissioner Wenzel, Mr. Wilcox said that no vehicles over one-ton are serviced at the motor pool and that there are some Road and Bridge Dp-partment vehicles, under one-ton, that are serviced at the County barn. Commissioner Wimer 'said that, if the subject capital improvement is for the EMS, he wants it to be reflected in the EMS budget as such and not reflected as a capital improvement for the motor pool. He said that he would so move after the motion on the floor is voted upon. Fiscal Officer Harold Hall clarified that, if the subject additional facilities were to be usp.d for nothing other than the EMS program and, if the County was not going to take over the EMS program, there would be no reason to expend the money. He said that on any capital expenditure program ,for any internal service, or any enterprise account, the total capital is not charged to one department¡ however, it is possible to reflect it on tho respectivo department's balance, sheet.

Commissioner 'k~ "~ l~ j ';~ <:;,..: .¡. Wenzel asked ~1r. 111111 if the capitð1 improvement could be amortized over a ten-ye~r period ðnd a portion of thðt charged to the EMS services, as well as a portion charged to the one-ton trucks. Mr. Hall replied ðffirmatively. He said that Commissioner Wimer's point is well taken; if a capital expenditure is undertaken for a specific purpose '£:i and unless it is not specifically indicated as such, noborly could tell that this money would not have been expended if the County did not have that intended purpose. Commissioner Wenzel said that he, too, would like it reflected as an ðnnua1 charge ag~inst the EMS budget. Mr. Hall agreed that this cån be done. COmmissioner Wimer requested that the Board schedule a discussion regarding the activities ~t the motor pool and the intent regarding same. Chairma¡\ pistor directed the County Mè'lnager to schedule this matter for a workshop prior to the commencment of the upcoming budget he a ring s .

PREPAR^TION OF REDISTRICTING FOR VOTING DISTRICTS Commissioner Wimor stated that, during a recent visit to the Planning Department where the districts maps are being prepared 'regarding the County's efforts towards redistricting, he became aware that the Planning staff is not honoring the domiciles of present 'Commissioners in their efforts to balanco the population count for each of the five districts, noting that they are following the Census enumeration. lie said that he feels this consideration could easily be incorporated in delineating the various boundaries for each district. He said that it is his opinion that the Commissioner's domiciles should be considered, and that he would like to know how the other Commissioners feel. Commissioner Pistor said that he understands that it would not make any difference and that, if a Commissioner is shifted into a different district by this process, he/she would not be raquired to move since it would only have an effect on the Commissioners when their ¡ us pc C'ri'v c--t arm---c x p iTC-:¡-;---M r,--f"Í'C"kwcrr Ll. ... ,1 l·d-tiT.Tt:'-tiTi -:¡""'"'h;--.::-n¡c-and-rtrn he tran5mitteà a memorandum regarding this to the Supervisor of ElectIons anò to Planner Tom Mcnaniel just last week. Commissioner Wimer said that he realizes this is not a legal question but is simply ßOOK 060 rACE 5gj Pl'Ig e 70 :.. ,.., .' . . I .~_ I ~ BOOK, 060 PACE 396 March 24, 19A1 a matter of whether or not the Commissioners decide they want to have it done this way. Commissioner piotor said that hn, too, looked at the maps and subsequently asked the Planning staff if thero was any way to a \'0 ~~_th e ~~!,j~~~2!.£~}..£.~_!)_~~~i.~L.1b.~..L h-A.._,.wð L~.().l5J_~llH. ,...J!1.a.tJ1.t- matically, thcre is not. Commissioners Wimcr and Kruse joined in disagreement. Commissioner Wimer claimed that, mathematically, the district lines can fall any number of ways and the totnl population in rlðch district will come out equal. He said it is a matter of philosophy, i.e. shall we use puro numbers or shall we honor the present Commissioner's domicile in conjunction with numbers? He said that it would take extra effort¡ however, it can be done. Commissioner pistor asked if it is true that when the districts are redrawn the population of each district must be ðpproxim~tely the same? Mr. Pickworth replied that thcy must be as close to identi~a1 as possible; however, this can be accomplished by drawing the lines in any number of ways although the staff cannot "gerimander" the lines. Commissioner Wimer concurred and said that, philosophically, he does ~ot 1iko having three Commissioners in one district. Commissioner Kruse agreed and said that if the lines fall as they are now drafted, Commissioners Bro~m, Wimer and herself would all be living in the same district. Commissioner Wimer moved that the Boarò instruct the staff to honor the domiciles of the present Commissioners in their efforts in redistricting. Commissioner Kruse seconðed the motion. Commissioner Wimor clarified ~hat ho is not down-playing tho efforts of the staff since they were given an assignmentss to use "pure numbers" and they carried through with that assignment. He said that . , this is fine; however, hc believes that the staff needs further direc- tion and that is the reason· for his motio~. Page 71 L , ".1, '. t fl]~ ~ : ,~ t I ".:~;."~ 'jî !

Commissionor Wimer was aòamant in that tho intent of the motion is to specifically direct thnt tho Commissioners' domiciles be honored; not that they look into doing it. Upon call for the quostions, the motion carried 3/2 with Commis- sioners Wenzol anò pistor opposed. Commissioner Wonzel asked the record to reflect thnt he ðid not look at the subject maps and, there- fore, cannot vote to change them. Commissioner pistor said that he did look at them and that he could see no reason for the change.

The history of CIISI was outlined by Dr. Clark, as were the present programs that are being carried out in the three areas of service, including Everglades City, Immokalee, and 12 miles southeast of Naples near migrant 1Ðbor camps.· Also covered by Dr. Clark is the close relationship that CHSI and the Health Department presently enjoy and he explained that, while Dr. Cox, the Health Department Director, has agreed to help in any way he can, his resources are limited by his budget. Dr. Clark' outlined the various kinds of services that will no longer be able to be provided by CHIS, and those arefts that will have to be "covered", henceforth, by the Health Department, inclusive of family planning services, immunizations, treatment of venereal disease, TB testing, and, PKU's for young infants. The projected date of termination of services in both Evorgl~des City and Immokalee of September I, 1981 was outlined by Dr. Clark who added that these services wIll become the responsibility of the County on that date. lIe said that he is not requesting anything at this time; however, because it is just before County Budget nearing time, the .~---_.._------ _.-__._-~... _.. ._..._--._~_.._._--- ._. -- "'-'---. ---..--..- ---... - ---..-...-.---- County should consider providing nca1th Department sorvices in Immokaloo and Evergl~dcs City around the aforementioned scrvico tormi- nation date.

Commissioner Kruse askod that the staff be directed to prepare a list of all such programs, and that a workshop be scheduled to discuss them fully, so that the Commissioners can make some kind of determination as to Hhich programs will and which will not be funded at a local level. Also discussed was the possiblity of deve10pin~ medical health t~xing districts in order to cover this kind of funding. Communicable diseases and the need to treat them were also discuss~d, during which th~ problems associated with the treatment of disease among migrant workers, illegal aliens, and th~ poor were also explained by Dr. Clark. Dr. Lawrence W. Coryell, CHSI's Medical Health Service Director in Immoka1ee, outlined the many kinds of services offered at the clinic in Immokalee; the need to continue these services¡ and the important role in disease control that CIISI plays in Collier County. He also explained the eMergency room facilities an~ the numbers and kinds of cases se~n each day there. He urged the Board to consider giving t~e support needed to continue to offor these servicos to Immoka1ee in the future. During Dr. Coryell's presentation, the problems associated with providing services for people'othor thnn taxpayers with funds supplied by taxpayers wore discussed and Commissioner Wimer assured Or. Coryell that the Board understood the Doctor's position th~t economics arc not considered hy the doctors re~arding the need for treatment of Page 76 " L !

Dr. Coryell acknowledged this and added that the Board should also consider thfl fact that the proper treatment, control, nnd prevention of communicable discase at these loc~tions will affoct the entiro spectrum of people in Collier County. He sain that CHSI would like to continue, to concentrate on the treatment of sick poopla nnd thùt they would like the County to take over those Hcalth Department sorvices. He said thnt he considers these to be the rightful obligation of the County. Dr. C1Ðrk s~id thùt the people of North Naples are prcsently being offercd these services by Lee County, at a Health Department Clinic located in Ronit~ Springs. Fiscal Officer Harold Hall said that a list of agencies that may require local funding could be prep~red ùnd he offered to provide one.
