I have only a few time-certain items to go over this morning, Commissioners. No other changes reported to date on the regular or the summary agenda. Item lOA will be heard at 9:30 a.m., and Item 1 lA will be heard at 10:45 a.m. One other note, Commissioners, I believe we're going to have a brief visit at ome point this morning from --our Tax Collector's Office want ., to make sure to make a quick public-service am.10un~©ment.

No disclosures. One change. qn Item [ 1C, which is the gasoline pump skimmers ordinance, I've be@n advi sed that the City of Naples would like to be included in this or inance. We've not heard anything from the City of Marco Island so w hat I've suggested to the county is that we add to that ordina Ge n opt-out provision so that the cities are included unless we're advi se d by their councils that they don't want to be included. That will give 'Marco Island the opportunity to be included or excluded if they so desire. So we need to take 17C off of the consent, at 1.ast ,t)r purposes of making that amendment to the ordinance. CHAl&NzltX.N SOLIS: We'll need a motion for that, right? So we'll,.l1av e - ~6l MMISSIONER McDANIEL: So moved. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.

CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. Manager, do we need to add that to a specific agenda? MR. KLATZKOW: You can either do it right here or now, or you can just do it later. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Do it now? MR.

MS. McGINNIS: Absolutely. Thank you so much, Commissioners, for this honor. We will be with many of our board members later today and look forward to sharing it with them. So Naples Botanical Garden after Hurricane Irma --really, the Page 16 November 13, 2018 garden is very young. We're not even 10 years old yet as a significant attraction. The Hurricane Irma destroyed about a third of Naples Botanical Garden, and gardens, the built environments, are not insured. So e faced a situation where we had a lot of rebuilding to do. We actuall~ had very little damage to our buildings and didn't even make our insurance deductible, but we knew we had a really big job ahead. We had very generous donors and were able to pull o g e her with our many volunteers and our excellent staff and got clea e~ up enough to open three weeks later to welcome the communi ...... ~--··~€k on October 1st. We were very proud of that. Even with the hit that we all took in visitation those first early months of the fall of 2017, we had a recorCY~ear of attendance with 235,000 people. • And the Garden has grown ve~ ign ificantly. We're now a --we have an annual budget of $10 million more than 100 staff, and more than 10,000 households are membeJ?s of the garden. So we know that we have a role to be a signt 1cant partner both in Collier County, which we look forward to being in¥olved in, but also around the Caribbean and with specific partne s, because we learned a lot cleaning up our own garden and Ging the repairs and had a call not long after from an arboretum in P erto ,R ico which got hit by Irma and then Hurricane Maria. And ~ Synt a team down there to apply what they learned, brougn their-trees back up, helped them repair equipment, and we br@agh't a-lot of their plants back to the U.S. to our nurseries where we're egrowing them for our own garden, and we'll be taking them back: to Puerto Rico for replanting as well.

Item #l0A November 13, 2018 THE BOARD DIRECT THE COUNTY MANAGER TG BllING BACK FOR CONSIDERATION A DETERMINATI@ ['HAT WOULD ALLOW THE ACQUISITION OF THE ~8. 6-ACRE HACK PROPERTY THROUGH THE CONSE-RV ~ION COLLIER PROGRAM -MOTION TO BRINffi ITEM BACK TO THE BOARD WITH ADDITIONAL INE RMATION - APPROVED MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, t i~es us to our 9:30 a.m. time-certain item. This is Item >l Q~. It's a recommendation that the Board direct the County Manag~r to bring back for consideration a determination that would a ow the acquisition of the 28.46-acre Hack property through the Conservation Collier program. Commissioner Saunders has brought this item forward on the agenda. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I asked that this item be plac a on the agenda for a couple of reasons: First of all, Mr. Ha~ -ea, · ho is in the back, if he'll come forward --as full diselosuFe, I represent Harry Zea. I've represented him for many years. cleveloper in the City of Naples, and I've had the pleasure of worlfi ng with him and his team for a number of years. Harry happens to be friends with the owners of the property that we ref er to as the Hack property. That property was ranked number one by the committee that does the ranking for Conservation Collier. Page 23 November 13, 2018 Mr. Zea has a contract to purchase that property. He's not making any money on that property and, of course, I'm not charging any fees or anything for that, so this is all --just wanted there to be full disclosure that there's no monetary interest in this on his part or my part. The first contract that we had, the sellers were looking for two and a half million dollars for that property. The property was i '?>i appraised at about $260,000. So obviously that was not a con act that this commission could consider even though the propertx Me as ranked No. 1. Mr. Zea has negotiated a much smaller amount, a explain how we did that and what it is. It's still over and above the assessed --or tlle ppraised value that we have. I believe it's about $750,000 versus the 2-and-a-half million that was before us before. • W The reason that I think that thi s is a -ood opportunity for the county is that, first of all, the pro_U e~ as ranked No. 1; No. 2, we're talking about environmental infr stvu cture . This is a mangrove area that would be, perhaps, sign· fica h in terms of reducing storm surge and that sort of thing, so we ant to enhance our environmental infrastructure. ✓ It's near th~< icy of Naples. It's right on the border. When this issue comes back, w)l-en Conservation Collier comes back in 2020 for restarting that p Fogram, I want the citizens in the City of Naples to know that Ii i'S ~s a program that benefits not only all of Collier County but 4enefits ~he City of Naples as well as, and this would be an ac qui ition that would certainly show that. nd, additionally, this would be an area that could serve as some passive recreational area for that part of the county. So there are a lot of reasons for the county to reconsider this or to take another look at it. I also have a letter from our Growth Management Department that was dated March 21 of 2017, and in that letter Mr. Bosi concludes Page 24 November 13, 2018 that because of the number of units that were built as part of the overall development, that this probably was part of, that --this is a quote from the letter: "Based upon this calculation, the 40-acre project is eligible for six remaining units to be developed." So there's existing zoning for six units on the property even ~ though there's an ST overlay. ~ So I would submit that the property's probably worth a little more than what our appraised value was, which was at 260,000, assn ming there would be no possible use for the property. I'd like for Mr. Zea to kind of explain where he i s w ·th this , why he's doing this, and then I'm going to ask the B ard t o cl irect staff to take a look at it again, tell us if there's any potential development of this property and, if there is, what would b , the mechanism for us to consider purchasing this even though it's sligHd y higher than the appraised value . ~ MR. ZEA: Thank you. Ap11rec i te that. I wish Burt didn't start out with "developer." I'm actuaU a homeowner, father, and overall concerned citizen. I actually became awar e of this property probably about 15, 18 years ago. My aunt and unc e lived at Sandpiper Bay Village up until my uncle's passing about a year and a half ago. And they --you know, they love that pot, a;rd it was part of the reason why my wife and I actually came to Naples and Collier County in the first place to relocate ab 6>u -odd years ago and raise our children here in Collier Count§! and ·n the City of Naples. i\n ~that piece was always, you know, designated by Marvin aG w ho was the --him and his family who purchased it, to not be dev loped. It was strictly going to be kept as a preserve piece of property certainly to keep the quality of life at the Sandpiper Bay Village which they are a very unique group that bought there in the early '80s when the place was originally built, and they had, you know, Page 25 November 13, 2018 kind of spent a lot of years together. So there was a concern about keeping the quality of life where they had enjoyed it for so many years, and I never even heard about that property coming up for sale. When Mr. Hack was starting to do estate planning with his family, the children, I believe, decided that it would be better fo everybody if they just liquidated that asset. So it fell into the hands of another developer who, as r Saunders stated, had found out that you could put six watei:front lots there, and --could. And whether it would ever be a re Ii , who knows. But the possibility disturbed me. I actually live in Ril ~al Harbor, and I developed some property in Royal Harbor and Have taken pride in having, you know, that area to try to, you 1010w, become, you know, a little bit more looked after than it had bee in tllie past. So when this came up, I had n~aehe . out to Marvin, and he had suggested that --he had stated wha1 Had happened. And I said, if it ever falls through, just let me lof0w I go, I do not want to develop the property for any type of b~neti . All I'd like to do is get control of it and either put it in a land st --and I had noticed up near the Coastland Mall there was a --there's a preserve area, the Naples preserve area, and ·twas a land trust, you know, by the city, I believe, and maybe th~ coun~ as well, that had purchased that property and left it alone, you kn0w, and put a designation that it was a preserve area. So I thougfif t-!ta: would be a perfect fit. ,So ~a of my deal with Marvin is that I --you know, and he doesn't ~are either way as far as whether I make a profit or not. That wasn' part of the stipulation, but I assured him, more importantly, my Aun Ester Manuelli (phonetic), who would probably have my head on a platter if the property was ever developed, who I'm very afraid of -- I've got to say that out loud --certainly would not disappoint her. So I, you know, said, you know what, this is a very unique Page 26 November 13, 2018 opportunity. Let me see if I can get control of it. Burt and I have a relationship professionally through his representation of land use for us in the City of Naples. So I asked him in passing how it would work and is this something that --you know, where I should go with it. Not even thinking about a county land trust. It wasn't even part of the S, thought at that point. I just didn't have a direction. ~ So after discussing it with Burt and getting a little bit mor€ information, I decided to go forward with the contract wit-lr the understanding that I would take that contract and make su 1} it goes into a trust, meaning the Collier County Land Trust, or w hatever trust that you guys designate, and it would be given er m~ art to the trust with restrictions that it never be developed. So I'm not interested in giving up the niq side. And, again, Burt was accurate. There was --you know , when I irst heard about the sale, it was --one person bought it fQ F .3, and they were reselling it to somebody else for 3.3, and that's h(l)W · ind of found out about it. So there is --whether it's imaginag" o not, there is potential, and developers are --by natu e, W-€-:te , you know, blue sky, pie-in-the-sky dreamers, so we think anyt ing can be developed. And in some cases -tliey've done things, including in the City of Naples, that I tho ;g t would never get developed, but people were able to get it done. S:o fo , my, you know, own piece of mind and, again, trying to do something, you know, other than develop a piece of property for f)fJJfit, this is something, I think, is better suited for every}g o Y-· ~n~the company I am partners in is a company called Pinnacle · sset rust, and our tag line is "responsible development." And we reaUy try to stay within the box on anything we're developing in the City of Naples or anywhere else, New England. The key is to try to not go outside the rules. And this, certainly, you know, fits in that mentality of responsible development. Page 27 November 13, 2018 The best development for this property is no development, which coming from a developer is --I might get struck by lightning, I think, I don't know. But it is true. It really should not be developed, and it will actually enhance the value of other properties certainly where I live, and I'm building a brand new home. I'm going to get that ancilla~ benefit but no financial benefit at all, strictly, you know, an opportunity to do the right thing both from a personal stand201n regarding my aunt and her --all her friends. And I spent every single Easter, after we relocate , at Sandpiper Bay Village at my aunt's condominium with about 5t) . eo le stuffed into it having the best Italian food you ever ca dream of, and that's kind of an omage (sic) to that. So that's where thi s all comes from. Appreciate the consideration. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: •, Mr. Chairman, if there's any monetary benefit for Mr. Zea, t e , ould not be bringing this forward and certainly would be abstai i ng from any votes on it. I just wanted to give the county the op12 ovtunity to direct staff to take a look at this again and come bael~. fiat's the purpose of bringing this today. MR. OCHS: Mr. CHa irman -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: e have some speakers, though. MR. OCHS : --I think you may --are there speakers? MR. MIIi t R: es. I have three registered speakers. CHAI ~N SOLIS: Three, okay. Do you want to hear the speakers fi nst 9 (£0 'ISSI ONER FIALA: Yes. M ~. ZEA: Thank you again. MR. MILLER: Your first speaker is Dee Brandt. She'll be followed by Brad Cornell. MS. BRANDT: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Dee Brandt, and I am the board president of Sandpiper Bay Club. Mr. Zea, I know Aunt Esther, and you're right; she would have Page 28 November 13, 2018 your head. This has been a --I'm coming in here, and all I can say is "wow" because we've been fighting this fight for a long time. This was original property to Naples Sandpiper Bay Club. The builder we t bankrupt. The land was bought as a tax sale. It's been hanging ove~ the heads of the owners here for 20 years. ~ I'm only new at this game and fighting this fight. And -e started SOS Wetlands, Safe our Sandpiper Wetlands. A couple );ears ago we found out that Mr. Winfield purchased the option fort is ~roperty. But I'm such a kid at this, even at my age, because the men and women that came before me back when this property eX:changed ands were fighting this fight a long time ago, along with C@ issioner Fiala, who I have emails, and a lot of inf ormatio was passed on to me in a file box. This is our binder that takes.us l:,ac 30 years ago when this property was built. It also has correspon5 ence from these men and women who were fighting to save this property back at that time. So I am here just to remind Oll that this isn't something new just because a builder, Mr. Win: el , came in a few years ago for the option. These people real ~ anted this saved for the environmental impact that it has. ✓ And there aFe children of these owners who have passed on, and grandchildren w. o ai e still part of our community. This is how tight this communicy is. This is how much this property means not just to our communt~ nut to the people in Royal Harbor and the Land Yacht Club ~no's ffn the other side. I'm just expressing that we will support whatever it takes to get tRi out of the hands of someone who is threatening to build on that property. I feel like this property has been held hostage for the past 20 years, and I guess we have to pay random somehow. But I would like to see this, and I think most of the people that have joined our group Page 29 November 13, 2018 would like to see this finally be absolutely preserved for the environment that it provides -- Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Brad Cornell. He will be followed by Meredith Budd. ~ MR. CORNELL: Good morning, Commissioners. I'm Bra ~ Cornell. I'm here on behalf of Audubon of the Western Everglaci es. Good to see you all here. And I want to consider and thank Commissioner 8au9 ders for bringing this forward as a top-ranked Cycle 9 prope~. A s you all know, we have long supported Cycle 9 propert: e£~ ~hr ey all were exemplary as far as choices for Conservation C ollier to buy. There are great opportunities amongst these properties , and this was the top ranked one. • We were certainly disappoint€d to se e the failure of the deal, a contract, being brought forward on tli u;. And I will only say that I don't want to contrast with or confli et with the current policies we have where we pay appraised v.aln e guess if there's a reconsideration, it's a reconsideration of, was t e appraisal accurate, any of that sort of discussion, or is the ow er willing to look at a different price than what they thought it was . But it is a valuable piece. As we g forw<J,rd in the future, mangroves are clearly among those kinds of p i;operties that protect and buff er our communities from storm surge,. s&a level rise, tropical weather; that kind of thing is abso lule1x hat we must be investing in. i\n ~the wetlands that are on that other side of that equation upstream from these front-line buffering properties are also essential, because we need to hold that water rather than dump it when it's the rainy season. That's part of your stormwater discussion that's still to come this morning. Not an easy discussion either. But these are important issues. And Conservation Collier plays Page 30 November 13, 2018 an important role. So we support your discussion, and we look forward to the continuation of that. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your final registered speaker on this item is Meredith Budd. _ _ _ _ ~ MS. BUDD: Good morning, Commissioners. Meredith Buel 0n behalf of the Florida Wildlife Federation. ~ I, too, would like to thank Commissioner Saunders fe b inging this property back up for consideration and exploring pti~fl s for acquisition for the county. This is really a fantastic p 011erty which Commissioner Saunders articulated in his disc s~ion eJf the item. Brad mentioned why it's a fantastic opportlrnify as well. And it's a top-ranked property in Cycle 9 from the <a~LXC. The Federation has long advocated for this property sinGe it was submitted for the program. And while the Federation: d es believe that it is really important for the county to pay a12praised value for the properties in the program --but there was confirmation from staff regarding the possibility for development o tll.e property, so maybe the potential for a different appraised value looking into further reasons as to why --or further opportunities for acquisition with this property. We do supIJ e.kt the recommendation for just further exploration and a way that t e c eyunty could acquire just such a fantastic piece in the urban area. So tha f OU so very much. RL MILLER: And that is all the registered speakers we have for that item. ~ -o HAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. VcoMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. I have --excuse me. I have a number of questions. First of all, I'd like to see anybody try and build on this property because there would be a lot of environmentalists breathing down their Page 31 November 13, 2018 throats, because you can't fill in mangroves anyway. You just can't harm the mangroves. And so, you know, that takes away a little bit of the value of the property as well. I understand that they paid some price for it, but I feel in my heart of hearts we need to preserve this. How much do we want to pay? That is the question. How much do we want to pay for the proJle I don't think it could ever sell for --how can you sell a~tlti ng for a couple million dollars when you can never use it? It's just ing to sit there. You can't build on it. You can't do anything. r only that, you can't even touch those mangroves. So I think we have to take this into consideration as we go into talking about it. I wonder if they would be will mg to aonate it to the CCLAC --Conservation Collier, excuse , and take a credit for it off their taxes. I don't know if that can q.e done But I would guess it would be, but I think they could probably; get more of a discount -- they could get more of a credit b).:: using it on their taxes rather than trying to get the money for sometnin g that you can never use. Those are my comments. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Any other comments, questions? (No response. ✓ COMMISS, ©NER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, the --what I think I'd like t0 ask s;t aff to do is to take a look at this property and determine whet e or not there is any potential for development. I have a couNle tliagrams that were done by Davidson Engineering for six wafe r fro t lots. I've got a proposed price for site work. We've got th h:ttev from the county talking about the six units. f there's no desire to move forward with this, that's fine. I just thought it was important enough to bring it back. At the price that Mr. Zea has negotiated, it seems to me it's worth taking a look at. But, Commissioner Fiala, if you feel that a donation would be more appropriate, then you can certainly ask the property owner to Page 32 November 13, 2018 donate the property. I don't know that that's going to happen. So it's really a question of whether the Board wants to even take a look at it. If not, that's fine. I just thought it was important enough to take a look at it. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I think we should. I'll make a motion that we bring it back as per the item. 4.'?>-COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll second your motion. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: We're going to go t 1 rough the appraisal and contract prices and everything else at that Ra~icular time. So it's been on the wish list of the CCLAC forever , s (j stated. So let's do it. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It may require another appraisal. So I don't know what staff --what rocess staff would go through to bring that bac~ --• ~ MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. ~~r COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S': --but whatever the law e;~ requires . MR. OCHS: Yep. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. o there's a motion and a second. Discussion? Any other discussion? I'm just --I tli ink taking another look at it, from my perspective, is the right thin to do. It's a little bit of an unusual situation, and I'm not clear if the con Fa t's being assigned -- COM . l~SIONER McDANIEL: We'll find out. ~Q ~ISSIONER TAYLOR: No. ~H ~.IRMAN SOLIS: --or what it is. I'll be interested to see tRat. l t makes me nervous in some respects because of the way it's com·ng about. There was a $200,000 appraisal, and so now there's an intervening contract. But with all the great intentions --and I'm not saying --it's just an unusual situation, so I want to take a good look at it, and I would ask staff to do that, and the appraisal as well. Page 33 November 13, 2018 MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And just to give you a little comfort, I would not bring this forward unless I knew what the contract was, had a copy of the contract. So before this comes back, we'll have a chance to look at that contract because --~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Good. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --I know Mr. Zea, ana know that I trust him implicitly. But it is a public body, and we're u s ing public funds, and there has to be full complete --full dis <>l 1 _sure, so that will happen. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yeah. And I wasntt meani ng that --you know, casting aspersions or anything. I just --it ·s n unusual situation, but I definitely want it to be looked at agai f • Commissioner Taylor. • COMMISSIONER TAYLO~: N o, tnat's fine. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That's it. COMMISSIONER TA YL@R; I just --I feel better that we're going to have full disclosure, bS e ause I'm a little confused about this, too. Okay. Anything else? There's a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye. COM . l~SIONER McDANIEL: Aye. ~Q ~ISSIONER FIALA: Aye. ~H ~IRMAN SOLIS: Aye. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's approved. Thank you. Page 34 November 13, 2018 MR. ZEA: Thank you. MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman --I'm sorry. Item #5B PRESENTATION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON TH~;:;;., IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COUNTY-WIDE "ALER COLLIER" EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTE INITIATIVE, WHICH ESTABLISHES A SYSTEM @ COMMUNICATIONS AND WARNINGS TO EN~O~ THAT THE COUNTY'S POPULATION IS NOTIFIED 01F DEVELOPING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS -PRESENTEU MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, we GV.~OM! back to Item 5B. This is a presentation on the new countywiEl e ~lert Collier Emergency Notification System Initiative. Mr. Summers will make a brief presentation. MR. SUMMERS: Cernmi sioners, good morning. For the record, Dan Summers, dire~tor of Collier County's Bureau of Emergency Services an Emergency Management. I'm joined this morning with two champions from our team: William Lan , our a lert and warning coordinator in the EM staff, and we're honored t0 have Brian Toolan here. Brian is the State of Florida representatiMe ;xnd the New York City representative for Everbridge, so he ha a iVe !Y, very big job. And he got up early this morning from SaFas0. a to join us. So I've got a team of experts here with me. eal quick, we're excited to bring Alert Collier. And one of the reasons I think it's important that I share this with you is that the mass notification platform has --I don't want to say has been in flux over the years, but FEMA has been working with it, the cell phone carriers have been working with it. You recall we had a national wireless alert test Page 35 November 13, 2018 earlier this month that was generated from the White House. So this technology platform has stabilized. More importantly, the price to Collier County is zero, meaning that the State of Florida has implemented this on behalf of the counties with a multi-million-dollar, multi-year contract engagement. Everbridge is not a closet organization by any stretch. Th~y tlo serve the Department of Homeland Security and Department o Defense. Sixty-three counties are now adopting this Eveul))t>idge component under the Alert Florida slash Alert county namy, in this case Alert Collier logo, and we certainly have all 0 £ the te chnical support that we need from Everbridge. What does it allow us to do? It allows us -)}t · s a mass notification system. Any disaster, any emergency situation, no one emergency system can do it all. If you riememMer, the wildfires two years ago, we used NOAA weather i:aai o , n some cases, we did door-to-door notification. We rely on broadcasters. Some of the broadcasters carried that alert Ii ¥ . Some did not carry it because their participation in some of thi=s · s ~oruntary, unfortunately. As we've seen in Cali fQ ia already with the mass destruction, gut-wrenching discussion out there that any additional mass notification systert\s that we can do. And part of our rollout this year includes, real 8' --ki ]jl d of our marketing campaign, we'll go soft over the holiday s an then really ramp up as we go into wildfire season, and ultimately int hurricane season of 2019. e ca , hit your wireless phone if you opt in. We all got tired of roheca ls the last couple of months, but you have to opt in on wireless calls. Y our landline calls are already included, and that's part of the Eve bridge service to get that data and load it. And we can give safety precautions, emergency information, and instructions, et cetera. We can hit your business line, we can hit your home phone, hearing-impaired devices, we can push notifications to your devices, Page 36 November 13, 2018 send text messages and, yes, we're still using fax; can get fax data information out. We have alerts we sort of capture in what we call scenarios. William's job is to build those scenarios and test those scenarios for rapid deployment. We can notify county employees , special action groups . In this case, we have one just so that we can actively a~ti a~e --rapidly activate, rather, the EOC. We can get information o t about severe weather, power outages, road closures, if necessa:Qa ; ut lity failures. Part of the challenge of this is knowing how mucfi t o notify and how little to notify. And we don't want to wea the p1s1:blic out. When we send information out, it's going to be for the greater good and for a very, very important situation or condition Missing persons, only if authorized b~ la enforcement, and I'll talk more about that in just a minut€ W e ave the ability for those that are really good on social media pla~f omi to come into the event live. We'll be coming up with a keywor cl so that if maybe you've just gotten to Collier County and we ave am event going on, we put out a keyword, and you can log · n rom there. It allows us to brin~ people to the web pages also for additional emergency information. As you know, from our hurricane experience , there's no sue t1iing as too much information. So we get an opportunitx to €apitalize on that and manage that registration process. It has all the bells and whistles for the social media engagement, allo ~ us to have that connectivity, both push and pull with Facebook, Twitter, and the individual's respective social media account. So a tlin · in social media and Alert Collier gives us more depth to the public. Security is top-notch in our world as well with this information. Everbridge has the highest federal assessment, federal regulations as it relates to meeting those security requirements. And then even on the Page 37 November 13, 2018 end-user, there are security requirements as well. All of that data that --in terms of a cell phone is protected, and we can manage that accordingly. Quickly, we will work, again, voluntarily with the public to get weather alerts. We're not going to be doing watches but more like I~ just severe warnings or even near local impacts. So, again, you ca wear the public out a little bit, but we'll do that when the time is necessary for the most severe events. We encourage, again, folks to listen to radio, tele isi0)1 , and NOAA Weather Radio, as all those venues are approP-na.fe for emergency information. Citizens can also set quiet times. There are sima ions where the public may not want to be disturbed with a tornaclo watch, a warning at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, although tnink it might be in their best interest if they are. But it they want tliat quiet time, that is certainly manageable as well. So far we've done an eno , o ,s-amount of work in getting the system ready to go. 161,0-00 ontacts are loaded, 1,200 special-needs clients are now loaded into he system so we can reach out to those individuals. We have pi:€sented to the City of Naples and the City of Marco. Both oftli em currently use a product called Code Red; not anywhere nea as sophisticated as what Everbridge can do for us, but they already ha¥e renewed their contract with that service this year. We can e~clude the municipal boundaries if they so desire, or we can cover tlio se boundaries. And we'll coordinate with them during the tim of the event. We think that after their contracts expire with their t1de , ed vendor, they may jump over and join us. And we're going to present to the City of Everglades later this fall. We're also getting all of our BCC employees loaded, and there's a lot of information there for desktop phones as well. Future actions: Very, very close collaboration with the Collier Page 38 November 13, 2018 County Sheriff. Anytime you initiate something to the public , the first reaction is to dial 911. We want to try to avoid that, working closely with the Sheriff's Office, and make sure that they know before any information is pushed out to keep them advised and to avoid any misuse of 911. ~ Again, Communications and Customer Relations with Collier County is going to help us roll this out so that we have a real good marketing campaign for the wildfire season as well as the O 1 hurricane season. So let me stop and see if you have any questions . ~hat's real quick. I know you wanted to get back on schedule this morning. But let me take any questions that you might have. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissione i iala. When the cables are down and the electri cs i~ is 0ff, how can the people still be reached? MR. SUMMERS: Yes, ma'am: Well, one of the reasons we'll be encouraging you to opt in is t a · f your landline phone does not work, then it falls back to your w iteless device. If your wireless device even has some limitations, ~p ically, the text message is very reliable. And I was in Panama Ci~ just a few days after Hurricane Michael hit, and text messagin and cJ,lerts were still coming out from that community despite how da aged their infrastructure was. So while no one system is perfect, tlii s pertainly has greater reach than what we have had with just adio. M~. OCHS: Thanks , Dan. , R. SUMMERS: Thank you very much. MR. OCHS: Thank you, Dan.

CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any registered speake s .rai sed their right hand as well? Okay. ~ MR. OCHS: Proceed. ► , CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. Q MS. WEA VER: Good morning, C o 1ssioners. My name is Anna Weaver. I'm with Davidson E n g ineering representing Grace Romanian Baptist Church. As has already been said, I am going to be presenting 8A and 9 A together a on e time. So here is the site lo oatioJ;1..J f our project. It's located at the southeast comer of Golden Gate Boulevard and Collier Boulevard. Approximately .75 miles to the east is Big Cypress Elementary School, and .62 miles to li e east is Max Hasse Community Park, for an idea of where we are . Here is an erial view of the project location. It's a total of 6.25 acres in tw@ :p ijr cels. The south parcel is where a single-family home is cunz ently and then the north area is wooded and undeveloped. So iRcluded in this petition is two requests. One is the small-scale Gn~w h Management Plan Amendment to include the site in the list of exc -ptions to the locational criteria for a church in the Golden Gate Master Plan. The map you see to the right of the screen is what would be included in the Growth Management Plan as well as the text changes that we've proposed. Page 42 November 13, 2018 The second request is a conditional use to allow church in the Estates zoning. The conditional use would be consistent with the LDC and would be reliant upon the approval of the GMP A. So first we'll talk about the Growth Management Plan Amendment. In addition to staff analysis in the report that ~ recommends approval, this is the list of the criteria in Chapter 1 f Florida Statutes for map amendments. Ten acres or fewer, no more than 120 acres in small-scale amendments per year, proposed 1ext changes only, not located in an area of critical state conG €rfl', and it preserves the internal consistency of the Comprehe siw e Plan. We are consistent with all of that criteria. So moving on, the conditional use is the b l of our request. So first, the existing zoning is Estates zoning. In that zoning district, permitted uses include single-family .dwelhn s, family-care facilities , essential services, and educational f)lants. Churches are allowable as a conditional use in the Estates zoning i strict. So then this is our conce Wal site plan. First, this is --you'll see the ingress and egress propgse ro Golden Gate Boulevard on the north end. Next is the development area including up to 24,000 square foot of a primary structui e, and then also in the yellow you'll see outdoor recreatio ~nd/or a potential pastor's residence with a maximum square fo ())t of 3,500 square feet. And then · n the green you'll see the water management and preserve are a s ,a s required. And we've also shown a minimum of 129 parking s12 a es that would be needed as required by code for a m a:X:i mum of 3 00 seats in the sanctuary . So then for our landscape buffers along Golden Gate Boulevard and Collier Boulevard, we're going to be providing a 15-foot Type D buffer as required, and then to the south along First A venue, we'll have a 10-foot-wide Type D , and then we'll also have a 4-foot wall along that buffer as required by code. Page 43 November 13, 2018 To the east, north of the residential , is our preserve area. And also to the east and then south, adjacent to the residential property, we'll have a 15-foot-wide enhanced Type B buffer. This is a rendering of the view that you would see from that residential property to the southeast. ~ So for traffic conditions, we do have Norm Trebilcock he e, out traffic consultant, to answer any technical questions, but I'll g ive a brief overview of what we have. This is just another existing-conditions photo. This is a little bit older, so , e'vp just drawn a line and an arrow to show that there is a median extensi on that was constructed in fall of 2017 to prevent left tum f\f om ©olden Gate Boulevard. So here on our conceptual site plan yo 11 see that we've shown 100 percent of our inbound traffic will b · nttJ hat one access on Golden Gate, and then 100 percen ill oe-outgoing as well. We've shown that approximately 2 0 percent of the traffic will tum right and go southbound onto 'eo er, and then 50 percent would continue and make a U-tu a a go westbound, and then 30 percent would continue eastbound. So then we do have a lengthy list of proposed conditions. I'll just go through those as quickly as I can. These are --number one, we've limited the churc s~rvice hours from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends and holida~s, and we've also limited church-related meetings from 10 a.m. to 4 p. . ~nd 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays with a maximum of 200 p r ishi ners for those meetings. We've also included that Easter sunri se s0rvice will be permitted. maximum of 24,000-square-foot total building area with no more than 300 seats in the sanctuary, and then a maximum of 140 parking spaces. So then No. 4 is our list of prohibited accessory uses that includes daycare, food services, and educational services. Page 44 November 13, 2018 And then No. 5 is our permitted accessory uses, and we've included some outdoor play area, gazebo, covered pavilions, and that's where you'll see our pastor's residence with maximum of 3,500 feet, and any storage sheds would be maximized at 1,800 square feet. Number 6 is that signs will be on Golden Gate and Collier ~ intersection, and they're prohibited on Weber Boulevard. ~ Number 7, a church representative must be present if the property is leased for any events, and it's limited to certain events. ~e'we added a specific list to include charitable events, weddings, R€r~ls, educational events, events associated with holidays, anij governmental events. Number 8 is limiting up to 12 events per year, and no carnivals will be permitted. Number 9, outdoor amplified s~und is r0 ibited unless permitted temporarily by a temporary or speo i 1 us . ermit. Number 10, no outdoor acces ory recreation area lighting, and a pastor's residence, if constructea, W}0uld be lit similar to other residential in the estates aFea. Number 9 (sic) is a hst of site lighting parameters that we've discussed with staff and agreed upon. It includes Dark Skies compliance, heiglft limitations, and shielding to those lights. Number 12 is nJr steeple lighting will be permitted. Thirteen, t is discusses our enhanced Type B buff er that's adjacent to na, esidential property to the southeast, and we'll be providing Tf pe B up to 80 percent opacity within one year. Number 14 is the actual building height will be 50 feet maximum antl 60 feet for the steeple. Fifteen is the dumpster will be located on the western edge of the preserve. We've added in "if needed," because we may start with just some roll-out containers, and ifwe do decide to build one, we'll put it there. Page 45 November 13, 2018 Sixteen, a maximum of 12 weekday peak-hour trips and 240 weekend peak-hour trips based on our ITE study. Number 1 7 is that during certain events the county may require traffic control. This is the customary condition that's been placed recently on most places of worship. ~ And then our last condition is that a wall would be construct@ li along First A venue Southwest. The code requires a 4-foot wa:fl there, so we will be committing to doing that. And that's all I have. Any questions? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We have how many publics eakers; three? ~ MR. MILLER: We have three, yes, sir. . ►~ , CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So would you ike to hear the public speakers first? ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: ~ •re ~~r COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S': I have a question that might alleviate some concern, potential y. In terms of the leasing, I think you said there were 12 special eVi e:, ts t at you could lease out. MS. WEA VER: Per ~ear, correct. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Per year. And will the lessee be constrained to o erate in the same hours and conditions as the church? In otker wof ds, no outdoor music amplified, no later than 10 p.m., and that so of thing? MS. ' E ~VER: Correct. So all of the other conditions would still a pl~, t 'e hours, but they may request outdoor amplified sound in theiF temf)orary-use permit that would be reviewed. It may or may not l5e ap roved on a case-by-case basis. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Just one quick question. I think with any development or any commercial business or whatever, many times they require less parking than really they should, and then Page 46 November 13, 2018 it becomes offensive to the people around there because the cars find someplace to park, and it might be on the street, and it might be on people's lawns. I think we should --this is, of course, just my opinion. We should ask for more parking now because they expect to go up to 300 parishioners, and 140 spaces will not take care of all of that, es ~eaurUy if they have guests or events. So if it's possible, then --this is just coming from one 12 enson --I think we should add parking, extra parking. ~ MS. WEA VER: So on our site plan, we're sho~ing that there would be a minimum of 129, which is required or t a 300-seat sanctuary, and then we do have a condition in oYr list for 140 maximum, and that came from a CCPC re oommendation. I don't know ifwe would build mor e t a 129 parking spaces to start, but I think we're more than w1Uing tc> remove the maximum in the case that we ever need more an cl ant to construct additional parking. COMMISSIONER I~ 2;\. ut in case --is there a way to allot enough parking for, say, 1 paces, even if they're not built initially, but the space would be r~served in case? Because I would hate to see it spill over into tlk neighborhood and then aggravate people. MS. WE~ E R,: We may be able to find a place for it, especially if the building isn't constructed exactly as shown, if the footprint is a little bit sma le,r or the recreation area is a little bit different. What we're s 0win g is max buildout and what would be required by code for that think that we would pref er to have to construct whatever' s required, and then if an event happened where we need to build more, we certainly would have room for that. We do have some extra space where we could fit in a few more spaces , but we've --this plan shows where 129 would fit. Page 47 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's only one access point as well, right? MS. WEA VER: Correct. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So if somebody was to park on First, they would have to walk --~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Through the woods. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Or all the way around. Yeah. 0 a . Commissioner Taylor, do you want to talk now, or d0 ~a u -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes . I guess I'm l·ust _going to pose a question to my colleagues up here without ex p ~<.>trng an answer but to keep it in the back of your minds. How r e we o ing to enforce this? And that's all I have to say. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: way we do it wit any business. I mean, Code Enforcement I would presume. That's the COMMI83.IOJ'j ER TAYLOR: But it becomes --it has --it's my understanding in situations where these wonderful, wonderful structures are 11nt next to --or nestled in residential, and I guess in this case · 's p ut , ·ext to it, the growth of these churches is, thankfully, phenomenal, and it becomes almost unmanageable, and it becomes a detrJ.ment to the residential around there. And I visited the site, and there is a beautiful home, beautiful home. It's a two-story, almost looks like three-story, I know it wasn't, right next to it. I mean, right there now they're going to be looking into this. I just --I can't imagine that. It's not even zoned for this area; Page 48 November 13, 2018 that's why they're before us, and yet we're actually considering affecting a neighborhood, the Golden Gate Estates. I just --I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. So I'd just like to know how we're going to enforce it. Yes, we can all Code Enforcement, yes, they can come out, but the damage been done. MR. YOVANOVICH: May I? For the record -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. Yovanovich. MR. YOVANOVICH: --Rich Yovanovich. A couple of facts that maybe Commissioner Ta-ylo~'s not aware of. We've actually coordinated with the neighbor tflat ou're concerned about, and that neighbor is the one w o asKed us for the landscape to be the landscape buff er we're pro osing adjacent to their property and didn't want a wall. They 1refei:red enhanced landscaping. So we have reached out and coordinated w ith the neighbor. I will also tell you that we will goJ t rough the Site Development Plan process, we will meet the Gode, and we will be no different than any other project that goe thi ugh the process. I will also tell you that it's a rare occasion that chu ches exceed the parking. Now, I'm going to tell you, we all know that Christmas and Easter Sunday sometim@s, you know, all bets are off. But generally you don't find issues witH chu ~hes. And I've done a few of these, and I'll give you an example that was a hotly contested church in the Pine Ridge communicy. E ovenant Presbyterian Church was recently expanded on U.S. J . THe Pine Ridge community was concerned about all this cut-fhro gh traffic, and a lot of these general provisions you now see, in~ u ing having to hire an off-duty police officer or a sheriffs deputy to manage traffic in case people are cutting through and not respecting the neighborhood, have become general conditions. And to my understanding, and Mr. Casalanguida and Mr. Ochs can correct me if I'm wrong, that condition has never been Page 49 November 13, 2018 implemented where there's a sheriffs deputy there at Covenant Presbyterian Church on Sundays because of the potential concern that people are worried about. I live in that community, so I go by there. I don't go by there every Sunday, but I do go by there. So I don't think that these conc €rns actually come to fruition, and I don't think people are parking in tM e swales at Covenant Presbyterian Church. ~ This is a small church. Three hundred seats is not a eg,a-church. It's not a large church. They will be respectful to the co ;11nity, have made a lot of changes based on community input, in:G lucling limiting access just to Golden Gate Boulevard and not c0ming off of Weber. So I think that enforcement is not going to li e an issue, and if it is an issue, you have a code enforcement offie e that will come out and make sure we don't have any problems. ~u think that there will not be problems, and we have coordinat e a witli the immediately adjacent neighbor in designing this site plan. COMMISSIONER TAYL@R· Well, I guess it's my opinion that Golden Gate is a very wo G€F I --Golden Gate Estates is a very unique and wonderful part e9 f our community; that the integrity of the Estates needs to be mai t ained. And sometimes these projects, little bit by little bit, sta'tt to eat away at it. To me, Golden 6 ate Estates makes this community unique. We don't have anot11er neighborhood or area like Golden Gate Estates. This is --y @u'r~"coming before us because the plan for this area was nevep. o ~ut ,· church here. And so I'm really having a problem, bee aus the church of my day is not the church of today. M R. YOVANOVICH: Well, and the church that we're proposing is t e church of your day. And I will tell you that Golden Gate Estates, the Comprehensive Plan is so narrowly written that it almost essentially prohibits places of worship out in Golden Gate Estates. I don't think the Commission intended to be that broad in the Page 50 November 13, 2018 prohibition. If you'll notice we're always coming through with a Comprehensive Plan amendment to put a church out in Golden Gate Estates. You have very specific conditional-use criteria to address the compatibility and address that, and that's what we're doing, and we'I€ going through the heightened review to have to do a Growth ~ Management Plan amendment out in Golden Gate Estates to pu · n a very neighborhood-oriented smaller church. I would agree if we were talking about a thousand-se~t church on this comer, but we're not talking about a thousand-seat cHurch. So it is a neighborhood church, and it hasn't evolved from other small neighborhood churches that you'll find throughout Collier County that have not negatively impacted the neighbor~~s in which they're located. • ~ V COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: 'Fh en would argue that Golden Gate Estates was designed so that fol S' who live there would have their peace and quiet respected, an , that if they wanted to go to church, they would understand, b~ li;vrng in Golden Gate Estates, they would drive there. And I don't mean to be argumentative, but to me that's the true --that's the true gen~sis of the Golden Gate Estates. Thank you. COMMIS~IO~ER McDANIEL: I'll go after speakers. CHAI ~N SOLIS: Okay. We have a couple of speakers. MR. ~'.U~'ER: Yes, Mr. Chairman. Your first speaker is John A. Ke Ji!. He's been ceded three additional minutes from Renate S. ~lY;. :t\<ls. Kelly, could you indicate your presence? ~(Jlaises hand.) MR. MITCHELL: Thank you. And Mr. Kelly will be followed by Tim Pratt. MR. KELLY: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is John Kelly, and I reside at 221 Weber Boulevard South. Page 51 November 13, 2018 I also represent my mother, Renate Kelly, who resides at 291 Weber Boulevard South. Together we have 10 acres located within the notification area of the subject petitions. I will also let you know that although some of you recognize me as being on your payroll, I appear before you today as a citizen and full-time resident of Collier County and concerned resident. ~ Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for your comments. They're s ot en. There's insufficient time for me to say everything I feel tmat I must, so let it suffice to say that I'm here today to ask that 1 ou respect your Growth Management Plan and the incorporated oUlen Gate Estates Master Plan as they exist today. It is your GMP that provides guidance and structure to your Land Development Code. If the community cannot have confidence in the Growth Management Plan, how can the haiV e any member of the community make any competent de is· ons pertaining to anything having to do with zoning issues wit in the county? When my family purchaseE1! E0 perty in Golden Gate Estates some 20 to 25 years ago, we , e,re very much assured that there would never be any commercial cle:v elopment; that it was a residential area. What concerns me more is that once you consider granting of a GMP amendment ere, you're opening the door to others within the immediate vicin }y. ;I 'd also argue that by considering both the GMP amendment anff a conditional use zoning action simultaneous, the county seems t,,0 e engaging in spot zoning. Is that really the practice this c 0,unty Gares to engage in and the direction in which we care to pr@eeea:?, s for my family, we're not so much opposed to a church as we are fearful what else could result. As you may or may not know, the church in question had a prior location off Livingston Road where they had rezoned property, had a Site Development Plan, and subsequently --for 3OO-seat church and subsequently sold that property. They Page 52 November 13, 2018 ended up at the current location, as it was affordable; however, there's been no mention that during this process the applicant purchased additional property in an appropriately zoned area and obtained permitting to convert the lower level of that property to a church. What happens if the church decides again to sell off their ~ property? You'll have already approved a GMP amendment. So please consider that. Now, then, the issue of a conditional use at this locati0n. I truly believe that your Planning Commission, with exceptiou to the chairman, totally lost perspective. Rather than discussin how to ameliorate the impacts of a church being located within a residential community, they decided to argue what services co 1 · be offered or should be offered by a church. r\ It was argued --well, I'll just cut to th~nase. The member on the Planning Commission that offered the m0tion to approve the church, or not to approve but to move it fol\Watd to you with a favorable recommendation of approval, cendi tioned that on the church providing alcohol and drug rehabilitation services or counseling. That's concerning to me in a resiclential area. And the church did not say that --no, we told the community at two neighborhood meetings that that would be prohibited. They decided to sa es, we welcome and would like to provide that service. It conB€ms me what we're going to end up with at this comer. In clos1 g, I, again, ask you to leave your Golden Gate Area Master Bla as it is today without amendment. At the very least, sh0ald ~eu disagree, I beg you to send the item back to your Planning tlmmission so as they can really discuss how to ameliorate the effects of a church providing alcohol and substance-abuse counseling at this location, and I thank you for your time very much. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Tim Pratt. (No response.) Page 53 November 13, 2018 MR. MILLER: Tim Prett? Tim Pratt? (No response.) MR. MILLER: I guess he's not present, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, yes . I have a couple o things and a suggestion. I'm not at all opposed to having the C G:P(]. review this again. There were some adjustments after the original public notice process, number 1. Commissioner Taylor, and not to correct you but ju 1o add assurance to what you're talking about, churches are al owed in Golden Gate Estates. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, I kno~ that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Ev ,~wh'.ere. They all require a conditional use which is the precept for this a:gplicant's coming forward. So even on a small piece of JS) operty in a residential area, a church is, in fact, allowed but by conaitional use request, which brings them forward to put these stipulations in. We are, as we all kn@ w, i _ tH e process of reviewing the Golden Gate Estates Master Plan and the GMP amendment process and have found multiple shortcomings in the public notice process, which is difficult for me. I mean, shortly after I became commissioner, a school was placed out in G (}1:den Gate Estates right on Immokalee Road, and the school only d to notify two people, two residents that were in that nearby tu.w ounding area. ,So I've got concerns with the use. One of the things that I would like to s ggest and, again, depending on what you-all believe we snoul do, is --because the Grace Romanian --I certainly don't have any · ssue with the particular church that's coming before us. I would like to suggest to our residents out there that this intersection, yes, it is currently zoned residential. It could be something else other than a church. Page 54 November 13, 2018 But my concern is with the use change or with the ownership change. Right now we're dealing with the folks at Grace Romanian Church, baptist church, and then some day somebody else decides they want that particular location more than they do. And so I would like to have a discussion, whenever this comes before us, about ownership shift. If, in fact, this becomes a diffeFt:1 nt church than the particular ones that are applicants now, that :w e l\ave a --we have some opportunity. And I don't know if we can d0 t fu at legally or not, Rich. You're making a face at me, so ... MR. YOVANOVICH: Sorry . I lost my poke fac . COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sorry. But that's one of the things. Now, the second question that I have · s, I was under the understanding that we were --we were , 't'EH}(sically going to be doing drug and alcohol rehabilitative service s it was just an allowance for AA meetings, which most all chura es, in fact, do have. MR. YOVANOVICH: Y €an. :And I was going to address that point when I got up here. COMMISSIONER Nt~DANIEL: Oh, okay. MR. YOV ANOVIGH: And I'll do it now since you brought it up, or do you want e to wait? COMMI8 SIO~ER McDANIEL: No. Go ahead, please. CHAI rA N SOLIS: I was only going to add that I watched the entire Planning , ommission meeting, and the discussion was about AA , eeting:s and groups like that. Not operating a rehabilitation ce te1\ Fight? M R.YOVANOVICH: Yes. And first of all, the approval of the church was not conditioned upon our providing these services. The motion was made by one of the Planning Commissioners that they didn't want to prohibit the church if AA or Narcotics Anonymous wanted to have meetings at the church. It was never said, "In order to Page 55 November 13, 2018 be able to do a church, you have to provide this." And we are not providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. That is not what we're doing. It was never what was intended by the Planning Commissioners that brought that up, but at least the church I go to, and many churches throughout Collier County, do ~ provide space for AA meetings to occur, and that is the total co 1 eX1t of where that came from, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation was not an approved use in this conditional use and was not a conditi0n ~recedent for a church being allowed to occur on that site. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I also express t ~ same concerns or carry the same concerns that Commission r Taylor does because, you know, I've said it on multiple occasi ons. The enforcement aspect, once we approve som€thing, is after the fact. And the impact on our neighbors on Weber and on 6 olden Gate Boulevard that is, in fact, main and main for th m a o r access point for currently out of Golden Gate Estates, is --it's going to be --it's going to be a tremendous impact on the neigh'.f>o ~h ood. So I carry those same co c ms that you have expressed, Commissioner Taylor, witll regard to the intensity. I think the applicant, though, has reduced those impacts as much as physically possible, or at leaslallowed for them to be reduced. I'm concerned about the enf o cemeµt aspect, though. What are e going to --other than someone, the neighbor, calling to complain ab0ut an after-hours event or too loud of an event that's a special se --and that was a question. Who approves the special-use pem1its y Does that come back to us, or is that done administratively? MR. YOVANOVICH: It's your staff approves special-use permits. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So the neighbors that are there that are impacted by staff allowing a noise-amplified event are relegated to who? Page 56 November 13, 2018 MR.YOVANOVICH: Well, I guess staff, and it would be -- staff would approve appropriate hours of operation for that event. For instance, I didn't know that if you have a church picnic and you actually allow guests to come to that who are not church members , you have to get a special-event permit for that. So those are the types of events that --you know, or a chuFclt yard sale, things like that, are going to require a special-events pe They're typical events that churches have. I know one concern was raised by Mr. Kelly both a tlte neighborhood information meeting and the --sometimes churches have carnivals and things like that, and that's been pt hioite ti . So those -- we've tried to take care that there would be no ev ents · hat would be disruptive to the neighborhood in limiting ·,t o --through the special-events process. • I don't --I mean, I don't really thihR tli at you get that many complaints from churches, and when J OU do, we're going to be brand new building. It's not going to b e o tcl er buildings that are metal buildings and things like that here you do have some concerns about noise coming from the bud ing when you're having a regular service. I think we've done everything we can to put reasonable conditions, inclu<ii ng limiting the hours of operation during the week to nonpeak honr , lo~ peak-hour trips during the week. Churches are Sunday morning, generally, traffic generators, and I think that we're going to fi u1 1;ii cely with the community. And the other communities that . ave exp erienced these same concerns, they haven't come to frui ti on. Y R. KLATZKOW: Commissioners, this is a conditional use. You can add restrictions. I mean, what's set before you is not in stone. If there are additional restrictions you want to place on this in order to make you comfortable with this , you can do so, including prohibiting amplified sounds, period. Page 57 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Outside events. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So I have Commissioner Fiala and Commissioner Taylor with their lights on, but we just gave our court reporter an award, and so I'm just going to say, can we finish up, o you think? Are you okay? Okay. We'll then -- MR. OCHS: I'll remind you you have a 10:45 time-certain.~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We have a 10:45 time-certain as ell, so. Okay. Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, two things. I D r. ot to declare on the ex parte I spoke with two Planning Commission:€ s and I did not mention that. So I'm sorry. The second thing is, I was --I, too, respect f e efforts that have been put in to preserve the Golden Gate Estates feel, the country feel, the feeling of open space, and the feeling 0 ~r,i acy and keeping out of the commercial businesses. And I 1us ope that --one little fear that I have is I hope this doesn't lead to othe~ commercial businesses wanting to come in, and especially not o s1 ~e streets or other things. I can understand in thi pauicular case, but does this church, wherever they're located n 0w if they have a location, does it have a reputation in that neighb0rhood as to how it gets along? And I know you wouldn't ha'¼ 1"hat information, but I'm curious. MR. YO~~N 6>V ICH: Well, I could tell you that they've been worshipping a Rirst Baptist. They've had to relocate, so temporarily bought an ~:fii~,e building, and that's the renovation that Mr. Kelly was referring to /s their building out some office spaces as an interim use, ana t eH Ehey want to --they want this to be their permanent home. So I can only tell you that I spent four years at a baptist college, and -they're not loud, crazy people. Now, Lutherans can be a little bit different. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, that was a good one. MR. YOV ANO VI CH: But I can --you know, I could just say, Page 58 November 13, 2018 Commissioner, I went to more than one church service, and they're not bad neighbors, and they're not going to -- CO MMIS SI ONER FIALA: No, you know, I wouldn't think that either. Baptists are pretty strict anyway, aren't they? And they do play a lot of music because, you know, the younger people nowadays enjQy worshipping by music and through music, and so I realize tha~ e ll. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner Taylori. 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. I wondered i ~e could get any kind --kind of without warning, Mr. French, but ·ts y understanding that we do have challenges with 6o de nf orcement of churches throughout our county, and I wonder ifi you nave any kind of information you could bring forward or yot,~l comfortable bringing forward, not mentioning names, but .-~ V MR. FRENCH: Good morni1t1g . f Oli the record, Jamie French. I'm your deputy department head f (l)f the Growth Management Department. Code Enforcemen faUs underneath my purview. Yes, ma'am, there are a H moer of the older churches where zoning wasn't quite so tignt that we have had Code Enforcement engage with some of those c urches. Typically what we're findings is that as these chu G es that come in and occupy these formerly built structures that , oning/W as in place, they go beyond the entitlements to where they do a e some parking restrictions. They --at times they will have s@m unpermitted events, and all of those applications do come rough our office, and they do get thoroughly reviewed. If it's afteF ouvs, if there's anything to that magnitude that would require a tliti@nal assistance, we reach out to the County Manager's office as well as to the County Attorney's Office for further direction. But, yes, some of the older churches where we're starting to see new people or new organizations come in, we do struggle a little. But in this particular case, ma'am, I have reviewed this documentation. Page 59 November 13, 2018 And I will tell you that the Planning Commission and the applicant has done a pretty good job and, as Mr. Klatzkow alluded, you can certainly put conditions in there that would restrict any additional uses beyond what they're asking for. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. MR. FRENCH: Yes, ma'am. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have a rather unu sual request, and that is there's been --several people came that wo l d jke to speak that are from the public , and if you would so entert in ·t, Mr. Chair, I'd like to have them have that opportunity to be swore in and speak on this matter. I don't know if you actually closed th ~ P.Ublic hearing portion of this or the public speaking portion ot this, 6~ -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: They'r n 0 r ~gistered to speak. COMMISSIONER McDANI :C: They are, but they turned their slip in late. MR. MILLER: Actuall~, . 's kind of a double-edged thing here. Michael Ramsey submitte 8: two slips, one for 8A, 9 A. We're only accepting one slip for both i ems, but he did submit a slip after we were done hearinC' ublic speakers. Chairmaa ' pre;ogative, sir. CHAI ~N SOLIS: Okay. COM . l~SIONER McDANIEL: He is the president of the Golden fil ate Civic Association. ~H~.IRMAN SOLIS: Ifhe wants -- OOMMISSIONER FIALA: Was he here to be sworn in? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Not yet. He was in the hallway, I think, or on his way. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think ifhe wants to speak and he put in a slip for one of them, I think he should be entitled to speak. Page 60 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Did you raise your hand? Tell him, Terri. MR. OCHS: Sir, just for reference, and for the audience reference, you must register before the Board begins hearing the item. That's the protocol that the Board has followed for years. So if you want to be heard on an item, please get your speaker slip in bef0re the discussion starts on that. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And you can change ~ou mind during the discussion, but it's most important to get it in. (The speakers were duly sworn and indicated · n 1i affirmative.) MR. RAMSEY: I would have been here earhet, but there's no parking places. It's absolutely full. My name's Michael Ramsey. I'm the president of the Golden Gate City Area Civic Association. I spent 10 minutes looking for a parking place just to get up here. ~ On this issue with the church fir t and foremost, we had gone through meetings with comm uni\¥ and neighborhood information meetings for the last year, yea na a half with this church. We started off with information from e church at a certain level of activity, and it appeared that the chureh was working its way into fitting in with the rural communi~ that we have. After a ~ ar o f'jn eetings, they came back with an update on their plans. It increased the activity and the number of people in there. We went to the neighborhood information meetings, and there was a lot of peop tftat w ere against it because it didn't fit well into the co uaity. It appeared that they were not trying to fit into the community. So we do have an issue with that and were against it at that point after the second neighborhood information meeting. Second, although it's --I don't know if it's expressed clearly, that area next to that intersection has high traffic. And the road, First Street, also intersects with two other churches and the park, Max Hasse Page 61 November 13, 2018 Park. This thing has a lot of traffic implications on the weekends and during events. I don't think that's been brought up in here, and it really does interfere with the residential rural lifestyle in the Estates. And, for that reason, we'd be against the rezone and also transmitting the growth management issue with it because the Golde Gate Master Plan is still under review, and we had recommend. d to wait till we had finished and did the update. So for those two easons we would not recommend approving this. Thank you for ,ne time, and we need a bigger parking lot. MR. OCHS: You've got a five-story parking ga age right there. Free parking, sir. We have a second one as weH MR. YOV ANO VI CH: Can I respond to s0me of those comments? C, __ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sure, br~efcy. 'J,O MR. YOVANOVICH: I'll try. ~ First of all, the building has alwa ,s been 24,000 square feet. The changes that occurred between flie first NIM and the second NIM were to change the access to no longeF have access on Weber, to actually allow them to have worship services other than on Sunday. Because when they came to mee wifh me after they had these initial meetings --and I wasn't th :re at the very beginning --I said to them you do realize that Chnstmc1 only happens on Sundays once every six or seven years. S the provision you had agreed to with only having worship on $u-p · ay means you can't have a Christmas service. ,So MT e aid, let's go back to the community and explain the changes we're making, because what we didn't want to happen was, at t'B~ fir t Planning Commission meeting, be accused of a bait and switch. So we went back and had the second neighborhood information meeting to explain the changes in the access and any other changes that related to hours of operation that had been previously included. Page 62 November 13, 2018 For instance, there was a prohibition from having Bible studies during the day and things like that. So we --yeah, they weren't allowed to do anything during the day. So I said, let's go back and explain how churches really work. They're not experienced in this process and I said, I know you're going to have pastoral counseling and things like that that happen during the day. That's prohibited.~ Mi € went back and made those minor changes. That's the only changes that occurred. We've never inGreased the size of the church, that's not correct, between the first ~and the second NIM. And we had the second NIM before w@ :\V ent back to the Planning Commission. So I just want that to be clear that, yes, theEe -ere some changes and we clarified the hours of operation dur · ng the day and clarified that we can actually have worship services on Qt etr days other than on Sunday. :S, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Comm1ssi:-0 ner Taylor, it's 10:55. COMMISSIONER TA YL@R ; Yeah. You know what, I have questions, and --but we ha-v.e a l@t of things going on. So I'm going to bow to you, sir. I can hol my questions, but I would like them answered before --✓ CHAIRMA SOLIS: I'd like to - I was just pointing out that we're now past he IJ~}:45 time-certain. If you have comments, I'd say let's get it done now, if our court reporter's still okay, so that we can get through this tt ~m and then we'll start with our time-certain after our IO-minute n eak. ~6>MMISSIONER TAYLOR: I guess what I read in the traffic engin0ering is --the report is that you are estimating 12 trips per day? MR. YOVANOVICH: Twelve peak-hour trips during the week, not Sundays. Obviously Sunday is a different time period. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right. MR. YOVANOVICH: But 12 peak-hour trips, and we've limited Page 63 November 13, 2018 ourselves to 12 peak-hour trips --p.m. peak-hour trips during the week. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. So that's what, four to -- what? MR. YOVANOVICH: It's basically --we'r_e not even open ~ between 4 --4 and 6, so we're not even open dunng the peak. So tfie se trips that we've agreed to cap ourselves on, we're not even o e , but that's what your normal ITE manual would say, a church g ene ates 12 p.m. peak-hour trips, so we included that as a prohibition. : nd we're not open during the a.m. peak, and we're not open du i the p.m. peak so that we don't interfere with people's going to ork, coming home from work. So we did limit the hours of operatico n that way during the week. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: .Well-, I ink that's precisely -- you made my point. You limited youFse ~es to what I consider, given the success and the importance of the ribrancy of this church, to an impossible standard to achieve , t>u t ;r ou're not open, so you've achieved it. What I'm concerned al5out is the Bible studies. What I am concerned about is the a tiv1ty of a church. I mean, this is a fabulous church. It's a ve~ Yital and growing church, and it should be. It just shouldn't be h €re. TJlank you. CHAI ~N SOLIS: Any other questions? Commissioner Saunders.~ ~O 'ISSIONER SAUNDERS: Just a quick comment. Obvious ~' we're going to --as the community continues to grow, t1l ~r e's going to be more churches that are going to come before us. An 'm looking at this location and these conditions, and I'm not so sure we could find a better location for a church. You're going to have one --I know Mr. Yovanovich is involved in one in the Grey Oaks area, or the Oaks, I'm sorry, the Oaks Page 64 November 13, 2018 subdivision -- MR. YOVANOVICH: Oaks. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --where they're going to be looking for a conditional use. That's embedded in the heart of a community. This is at the intersection of two major roads. So I'm HQt sure, if we don't approve this, where you can do churches other th . M, perhaps, at the commercial centers, and, you know, the major intersections that are already activity centers. Those might be the only locations left. So I just throw that out. I'm not sure why this ;w0 1d not be a good location for a church, and if it's not a good locat·on, I'm not sure where a church would go in this community. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. Is there a motion? COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll just -o f a motion yet. I just want to say, I felt that being on the com e . and not down the street would not be as much of an impedimelil as, you know, being right there and can get in and out, an El tHey don't travel through the community at all because the r,:e 's no reason to travel. There's nothing at either end of anything. So I wanted to insert that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Can I obtain a motion to approve with the conditions from tli e Planning Commission? COMMI S~IO~ER SAUNDERS: If I might ask Mr. McDaniel a question. You a said something about referring this back to the planning b 0arij . I'm not sure why we would do that. What was your ration ~ fo that? ~6lMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Twofold. Number one , the notice process from the original application to the second process --to the second public notice --and Mr. Yovanovich and I have already gone round on this --I feel was deficient, one. The public that is impacted by this is greater than the 300-foot notification requisites within the current GMP amendment --or the Page 65 November 13, 2018 GMP for Golden Gate Estates. We're impacting everybody to the east and everybody to the south on Weber, this particular use. I can't say --there's hardly --I concur with you, Commissioner Saunders, that there's hardly a better location for a church. It's just I feel the public-notice process is sorely deficient, and --~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, could Lask: another --one more question of the petitioner? 0 ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Were you finished? ,t, COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, I'm done. ~~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: On Weber, ~ieJusly , there are going to be some folks that are going to --I rhi · ou said 20 percent are going to take the right-hand tum ontm We15er hitting south. Now, if you're on Weber, how do you get bra k --can you get back to 951, or do you have to go back up to.-- COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: ~~u've got to go all the way south on Weber to White and/or jum12 on First and go out around and come out at the light over at Ma~ Plasse. COMMISSIONERS~ ' · ID ERS: So it's not a particularly convenient way to get bacK onto 951, or is it a convenient way? COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Weber South --depending on which way you're going. If you want to go north on 951, it's a trick because you'v: · got t ~y·go two miles south down to White Boulevard, or you come arouad to First and you go over through the park and out at the light ont0 ~olden Gate Boulevard, or you go on down --as they've show n on tHe map, go on down to Golden Gate Boulevard and do a U-mm. OOMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And then one other question for tlie petitioner. Where do your parishioners --for the most part, where do they live? MR.YOVANOVICH: We have a fair number that live out in Golden Gate Estates. That's one of the reasons this site made sense. Page 66 November 13, 2018 So, you know, that's --it's a good location because we have people living in that general vicinity; not everyone, obviously, but we have a fair number of members that live out in that area. And I'm not --I don't mean to be argumentative with Commissioner McDaniel about the notice process. I really do feel like at the second NIM --there were more than 30 people at that NIM, which is a large number, including Mr. Ramsey was at the NIM, so I know the word got out at the second NIM. And if you went back and watched the discussio an6 thoroughness in which this Planning Commission discsus ed all of these issues and beat up this piece of property ~n wfi ther it was appropriate or not with the conditions, I think tHat we aid address that. Now, I understand --and I bet you that "fyou were to ask Jamie to come back up here, it would be ampli 1ea -outdoor amplified music or amplified music as a whole that' · een your issues with churches. Obviously, indoor amplified music, I think we should be allowed to do. It's going to be a btand ew building. I just don't think it will be a problem. But if it's going to be a real problem with outdoor amplified music, we do , 't want to see the church go down because we could potentiall:¼ n ave special events that would allow amplified music. So if ~ou a ted to put a prohibition on that, and after we've proved ourselv.e·s as a good neighbor, we could come back and ask for an amenoment to the conditional use at that point if we ever felt it was vital to have special events with amplified music. You know, I would sug et that perhaps that would be a reasonable compromise to address noise-level issues with the community. And I hope that that --and that's what I heard was basically mainly noise and traffic. And I don't really think a lot of people are going to come down Weber to try to go back to wherever they're Page 67 November 13, 2018 coming from. It's just not a convenient way to go. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: They're going to go in on First. MR.YOVANOVICH: Well, I mean, come down to First -- they'd have to come down Weber to First, but if you want to go back west and north, you're not going to do that. You're going to most y g o east on Golden Gate and do your U-tum. So I hope we can get there without having to go back to t-h e Planning Commission, because I don't know that another lengthy debate there is going to change much of the outcome. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. Our court l?,~~orn:er -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman ? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm going to make a motion so we'll get through this here real fast, ~ut I W,a t o ask a question of the County Attorney. ~ 8A is a conditional use that I t ink requires three votes; is that correct? MR. KLATZKOW: ¥0Nr ,otes. COMMISSIONERS IJNDERS: It requires four. And then how about 9A? ✓ MR. KLAT~KOW: Four votes. COMMI83.IOJ'j ER McDANIEL: Supermajority. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm going to make a motion to approve 8A - l l L KJt,ATZKOW: Before you make your motion, does anyone w ant to hear from staff or have a question for staff? OOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have one question of staff witH regard --and this is for Mr. Bosi. Is this particular site a designated activity center? MR. BOSI: This is not a designated activity center. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. Page 68 November 13, 2018 MR. BOSI: Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And I have a quick question -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: --of the petitioner, if you don't mind. ~ And I know you're here. I mean, I'm answering my own questi on, but I'm going to ask you anyway just to get it on the record. any problem of waiting until the Golden Gate Estates Master Plan is completed before you come back to us? ~ MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, first of all, the a swer --short answer is yes because, you know, we don't kno wnen t at process is ever going to get completed. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oka~. MR. YOVANOVICH: And what y0 u'~e ot proposed right now isn't going to allow for churches to oc 11r <1 n this piece of property in the first place, because you don't do site-specific planning through your comprehensive planning proces . 'f,hat's why you have these small-scale Comp Plan amendments coming through in the first place is because you're not looking at the specifics, and that's why I'm saying you're not going to get there because you're not doing that type of planning anywa~. You're looking at a much bigger scale. CHAIRM~ S0 LIS: Very good. Thank you, Commissioners. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I'm going to make a mot 01yto approve the petition, Items 8A and 9 A, with an addif onal c @n dition, and that condition is that there's no amplified outfloQr music and if there's a --obviously, if there's a problem with toe m11ch noise coming from inside, that will be an issue to deal with. So I 1 make that motion. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is that your second? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, I will second it. And I just have to say it's been very difficult because, you know, we've got a Page 69 November 13, 2018 commissioner here who lives in the area, and we --and we really appreciate all that he offers to this group, as well we've got a planning commissioner that lives right down the street from it and he's --you know, so we have to go against the people that we work with, and you hate to do that but, on the other hand, to be perfectly fair --and I tni a lot of times we forget about being fair, and in this case that is a f.a:ir thing. And as long as it's not something that's down the str et OF it's a huge thing, they have complied with all of the things t at w e've asked; I like the insertion that we don't have any amplified mu~i , Commissioner Saunders. So I will second that moti0 n. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any other discussion? (No response.) • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: All in fav0 r, s ay aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: CHAIRMAN SOLIS: A x e. COMMISSIONER s~ I • ])ERS: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Any opposed? COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: Aye. COMMISS I©NER TAYLOR: Opposed. It fails. MR. YO~~N 6lVICH: Can I just say something for the record at the end, real britdly, since we're done. I just want you to know the last two churcHes t:}Iat have come forward in front of the Planning Corumissio , on major intersections have failed 3-2. I don't know what to ten churches that want to come to Collier County to do. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: And the Planning Commission voted 6-1 in favor of, so that weighed heavily on my thoughts as well. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It did. COMMISSIONER FIALA: So , you know, we have to --we have these committees to guide us. Thank you. Page 70 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Take a IO-minute break. ( A brief recess was had.) MR. OCHS: Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd please take your seats. Please come to order. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, you have a live mike. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you, Mr. Manager. ~ We're on to our time-certain that's, unfortunately, not that certain. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Mr. Chairman? ,t, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, sir. ~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Before we g0 on t o our next item, I would like to have a discussion, or I'd like to m ake a motion for reconsideration on our last vote. I would like to --I would like for us to give consideration to continuing this ite m nd referring it back to the Planning Commission just to give an. o_Qpo rmn ity for greater public knowledge or greater public inforrnatiQn w ith regard to the use. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll second his motion if you'd like -- if you need a second. COMMISSIONER McO 1EL: Well, I think it does need a second if we want to have econsideration of it. I'm having difficulW with the entire process, as I've said along --I have an enormous amount of faith in the chairman of our Planning Commission, who Ii es in Golden Gate Estates. I have an enormous amount of fait li in the folks that live in Eastern Collier County and Golden Gat e st ates. Ji Just --I'm troubled with the lack of public notice and the current limitati 0n of the GMP for Golden Gate Estates, so ... OOMMISSIONER FIALA: You know, I have to chime in with what Commissioner Bill says, and that is, notification, when it only goes out to 500 feet and the 500 feet is across the street, and you've already taken all the 500 feet, so I agree . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I was told it was a thousand that it was Page 71 November 13, 2018 sent out to. Anyway. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, on the motion, obviously I made the motion to approve the church, so I'm not going to object to reconsideration. But in the interest of the shortness ofh man life, I have a question for Mr. McDaniel. You know, this will come back at our next meeting. We'll vote on the motion to reconsid~r , a d the thing it will --you know, we'll send it out and have more n et-i ces, but we're going to come back with the exact same facts. A nd o I guess I just ask that, you know, if this is a motion to re Gon~ider because you may ultimately reconsider your vote , th€n, ~ou know, I support that. But if it's just because we want to get more notice out and we're going to have the same result --that's a 1. I'm just saying I'm supporting your motion, but hopefully it's 0t just to get more notice out and come back with the exact sa e :f?a€fs. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: There were --in all candor, I may reconsider my vote. There wer e Qt iginal stipulations that were asked for by the --our chairman Qt the Planning Commission with regard to protection for traf-fi o concerns on Weber, limitations on hours of operation, and those so of things that I don't think are particularly a portion of this current ap plication. So I can't say I'm going to change my vote. I just - COMMI 8 SIO~ER SAUNDERS: There is that potential? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: There is the potential there. I -- as you can te ll, I am seldom tom on decisions, but this is one where I'm havin difficult time. ~n ~ I've received an enormous amount of concerns from our re ide ts, not just in close proximity but all of Eastern Golden Gate Esta es being --you know, if Vanderbilt Beach Road were already constructed and there were another access point, I think I would have less concern with regard to the intensity of this use in relationship to a residential use. But it's not, so it's --you know, it's a fact of our life. Page 72 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The restrictions you were talking about were the times of operation during the week? Because that's what I thought changed. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I mean, to have -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It was -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: To build a church that you can't the week just seems to me to be -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And I concur -itli }hat. You know, certainly there should be allowable uses that i:e tm'.ere, and I do want to say, you know, there are more good things coming from a church than just the AA meetings. I mean, you know, there are scout meetings and there are military meetings a :€1 there are weight-loss meetings, and there are other things that e0 e t at are of value to a community. But at the end of the da1 , tlii 5 is a residential-zoned piece of property, and it's impacting a far langer area than that that is currently required per the Golden etate Estates Master Plan, period. And that's where I'm --that's <e e -- COMMISSIONER Fi~LA: I admire that you have such an open mind. ✓ MR. KLAT~ OW: Is the thought to bring it back to the Planning Co _ ssi ~n to go over additional limitations for the use since this is a conditional use and then bring it back here, or is the thought to icing it back here directly? ~O 'ISSIONER McDANIEL: Take it to the Planning --I'd like it to go back to the Planning Commission for a re-discussion, re~isi as for --as for the conditions and stipulations that are in the current conditional-use request. MR. KLATZKOW: Okay. I'm just trying to get clarity as to what we're doing. So the vote is that we would ask the Planning Commission to look at it again -- Page 73 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. MR. KLATZKOW: --see if they can tighten, you know, somewhat the uses to make it more compatible with the community, and then bring it back. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: We have a little bi procedural issue here. So what I'm going to ask the Coaney:,, Attorney is, we voted to deny these petitions on a 3-2 vote. Gan e withdraw that vote so that we still have a live petition? Because right now the petition's been denied. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Te <?lfu ically, that's correct, yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: • s@ I know in some procedures you can actually make a m 0t ion to withdraw that vote to re-establish the fact that we have li e ~etitions in front of us; otherwise, we have a reconside1ati0-n ordinance that requires it to come back to us. MR. KLATZKOW: ~h reconsideration ordinance really doesn't contemplate sending ani thing back to a planning commission, so we're trying to skate ar@:und the issue . If the Board wants to simply vote to retract the dec i s · on ap d send it back to the Planning Commission, you can do that. COM .1~8IONER SAUNDERS: I'll make that motion then. (£0 'ISSIONER FIALA: Second. ~H ~IRMAN SOLIS: Well, there was already --there was alrea ~ a motion and a second. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'm sorry. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Procedurally we have to do what Commissioner Saunders has said. So I'll withdraw my original motion --we're getting to the same place. Page 74 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: I still keep my second no matter which one. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I'll make the motion to retract the vote that we just took on Petition No. 8A and 9A. MS. WEA VER: If I may, can I make one quick comment? ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes. We should let the applicants.a~ something. ~ MS. WEA VER: I just want to put on the record that we , ad our staff double-check, and we did notify the neighbors within 1,000 feet. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It doesn't matteF The petition's been denied. MS. WEA VER: I understand. I just wantecl to put that on the record. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: ~e're echnically un-denying you right now. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S': eah, so I would -- COMMISSIONER TA YL@R .: I would be very -- COMMISSIONERS~ ' -])ERS: I would just sit down and let us do this, quite frankly. So I make a motio , to withdraw the vote that we just took on Item 8A and 9 A or purposes of sending the petition back to the planning boar<tl. COMMISSIONER FIALA: And I'll second that motion. CHAI -,7X.N SO LIS: Discussion? ,, ID response.) ~H~IRMAN SOLIS: All in favor, say aye. OOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. Page 75 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: May I just make a postscript here? I think as we grow --and I think we're seeing it more and more --the issue of infill is going to come forward as land becomes 1 0re scarcer within the urban area and folks don't want to travel oufsi li e their urban area, we are going to be faced with this again aNd again. And I'd like to --see, and that's a later discussion, but I l J st leave it with you. I'd like to see us tackle infill and what that me-ans to surrounding residential. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. ► , Mr. Giblin? ~ Item#llA •~ STAFF TO INITIATE AN INV;i T~TION TO NEGOTIATE (ITN) PROCESS FOR THE D ~E QPMENT OF HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE ON THE 1) COUNTY-OWNED BEMBRIDGE PROPERTY, AND (2) HE COUNTY-OWNED MANATEE PROPERTY PR@ OSED TO BE CO-LOCATED WITH A PASSIVE PAK ; )tS BOTH PROPERTIES WERE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED S SUITABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING fj~T IS AFFORDABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 6)M UNITY HOUSING PLAN. MOTION TO DIRECT S~A: P ~O MOVE FORWARD WITH BEMBRIDGE PROPERTY T INCLUDES 30% -140% INCOME QUALIFICATION - APPROVED; MOTION TO NOT PURSUE MANATEE PROPERTY SITE -APPROVED MR. OCHS: This is Item 1 lA, Commissioners. This is a Page 76 November 13, 2018 recommendation to authorize staff to initiate an invitation to negotiate process for the development of housing that is affordable on both the county-owned Bembridge Property and the county-owned Manatee Property which is proposed to be collocated with a passive park, a both properties were previously identified as suitable for development of housing that is affordable in accordance with the Communi~ ~ Housing Plan. Mr. Giblin, your grant and housing development manager, will make the presentation. ~ MR. GIBLIN: Good morning, Commissioners. For the record, my name's Cormac Giblin. I'm the housing and grant flevelopment manager for Collier County. Again, we're here to discuss the possi1"il · tr of issuing an invitation to negotiate for the collocation of housing t11 at's affordable on county-owned properties. ~ To get there we first want to g ive you and the public a reminder of what housing that is affordabi~ fs. It's safe, decent, and affordable, and it costs less than 30 ~0rce t @fyour monthly income. On the slide you see three example deve opments in Collier County of housing that is affordable. ✓ Earlier this r ear, in February, the Board directed us to go back to basics with our offici al definition of affordable housing. Again, it's affordable to a fi ousehold when the monthly rent or mortgage payment, including prop~rty tax, insurance, and required fees is not in and excess of 30 percent of your monthly income. Under the umbrella of the teNn "affordable housing," there are several income levels ranging frtlm extremely low income up to gap income, and they're represented by percentages of the county's median income. We go one step further in Collier County. We have what we call restricted affordable housing, and there are currently about almost 7,000 units of restricted affordable housing. Those are units that are Page 77 November 13, 2018 known to the county, monitored on a yearly basis. We know the rents that are charged, we know the incomes of the folks who live in it. We also acknowledge that there are multiple units out in the general unrestricted market that may be affordable at certain price ranges, and there are almost 100,000 of those. Those would be units that are appraised by the Property Appraiser with a market value less than $250,000. Who is it that we're talking about when we use the words "affordable housing" in Collier County? Again, using the ,ame income stratification, we use a household of three income hive . fuid you can see on the right-hand side of the slide the exam le salaries that pay within those ranges. For example, at the 80 pen,ent low-income level of $54,000 for a family of three, that's where our teachers, firemen, construction workers typically fall in. t at le e . As we go down, you get to lower inoome paying jobs, and as you go up, you get to higher income-12a~ing jobs or possibly two-wage-earner families wher , (X Oll might have two people involved in the hospitality interest 0F t o.Jiomeowner --two folks involved in -- as health aides or others or a combination of such that would bring you into the moderate or gag levels. So what does · t mean when we talk real prices? For the rent for a two-bedroom Mouse ~t those same income levels are --for example, again, sticking wi h the low-income level, $1,350 a month or less, or you could muy snmething that costs less than $125,000. -at we found through the efforts of our citizen committees and th€ E'.0 , unity Housing Plan is that there is little vacancy and very fe a ailable units for rent or sale at those income levels. So one of the first initiatives the Board took was to tackle the ULI recommendation to use publicly owned land. You passed a resolution on February 27th that says that public properties now owned by the county or to be acquired by the county in the future be considered for Page 78 November 13, 2018 use as affordable housing or for the collocation of affordable housing and public facilities. This initiated a review of county-owned properties. There was a short list of 16 properties presented to the Board last year. Nine --it was then whittled down to nine presented to you on June 27th of as year. At that meeting the Board directed us to continue research on six of those properties. ~ The top two properties were presented to the board on December 12th, 201 7, and at that meeting the Board directed staff; t(g p?1ove forward with a request for information process to asG · n marketplace interest in the sites. They were the e h>ridge PUD, and your recommendation was to designate it for affordable housing, and the Manatee site, which your recommenda~~ was to include housing in the development plan. • ~ V That request for information r.€sulte 61 in 10 responses with all providing varying level of detail anti a ·proaches. We presented those to you on March 13th, 2018, and at that time the Board directed staff to continue community outn~aoH and then complete the housing plan implementation items prioF to moving forward with any decisions on either of those sites, whi~h we've done over the summer. We held at la's t eight community input meetings on these sites in the housing pla CO!l~entrating in the areas you see on the slide. And some of the main concerns that rose to the top in those community meetings an fJJ?cus groups were a perceived concentration of housing that is af,f or ) able in the East Naples area. There were comments saf ing n0t to build it here; to build it where the jobs are. here was comments centered around that the market may already be fixing this problem with reference to thousands of new apartments soon to come online. There was a strong desire that there be additional studies to study density and traffic, schools, and the environment. And, lastly, there Page 79 November 13, 2018 was a very strong public sentiment to keep park uses on the Manatee site. I'll address some of these concerns as we go. First, I'll address the concern about concentration of housing in East Naples. Again, remembering that our definition of affordable housing tracks bot~ those that are restricted and the market rate housing of homes that may fall in the affordability categories. ~ First, on the restricted side, again, we have 6,798 res t,r,i cte d affordable housing units in Collier County. They are lo ca yd throughout the county from north to south and east t g w st. There is a percentage of them --a healthy percentage oft em in most Board of County Commissioner areas. You can see the d is persion on the map and in the percentages. Q We then go a step further to try .to q anti.m, the concentration or saturation levels of other housing th at fiills in the reasonably priced housing category of less than $250,00 C>'. Again, on the right-hand o~tfl € screen you can see that as a function of concentration <9 H©mes that are affordable in each County Commission district, you can see it ranges from 67.6 in Commission 5 to 37.7 in Commission District 2. We went a st~ further to say, all right, those are the units that are on the books, b t not all of those are available; only a small fraction of those may be a~ailable at any one time. And so we did two samples. We looked at t:)l e real estate site Zillow looking for all units for sale less th an 2 j 1(),000. We included single-family, multifamily, condo, to wnhouse , and manufactured homes . We looked at two samples areas o the county, one centering on the comer of Collier Boulevard and U.S. 41 and one centering on the intersection oflmmokalee Road and 1-75. And on that date, there were 14 2 homes listed for sale at the South Naples site and 13 8 homes listed for sale for the same price in Page 80 November 13, 2018 the North Naples site. We then --rather than rely on a real estate appraisal website, we went straight to our friends and partners at NABOR and pulled real Collier County listings, again, for the same day, the same areas of the same size. ~ We found again, at the U.S. 41 and Collier Boulevard, the, e Wia'.s 63 homes, multifamily, condo, townhouse, and manufactured foE sale, and in North Naples at Immokalee Road and I-75, there ere actually 97 homes for sale less than that price limit. The next concern we looked at was jobs. We l00 i~-at a 6-by-6 square mile area, again, centering on the cornei of -f/J and Immokalee Road and also the U.S. 41 south corridor. Both t ese areas are roughly the same size. In the Southern Naples area, th~re a-re ]fl ,l33 jobs, and in the North Naples site there are 16,266 j0bs. One important differential between the two sites is that you can see at the bottom that the salarit?s and wages of the sites in the Southern Naples area are s0 1 tely flip-flopped than those in the North Naples area; meaning the wages paid in the South Naples area are lower than those pai0 in North Naples. COMMISSI©NER FIALA: May I ask a question on that? It's wonderful that tliat s,ays 17,000 jobs, but where are they? I mean, we don't have any n o els, we have very few restaurants, and we don't have any office lfiuilpings. So where are those 17,000 jobs? Rt . G BLIN: Well, it's a heat map, and so you can actually see on th Ill)lP the concentration of where those jobs are. There's a big l5lue ot that I believe is right where we're standing at the government complex and the sheriff and jail facility. That seems to be the biggest blue dot of concentration of where jobs are -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. The government center. MR. GIBLIN: --in the southern area. Page 81 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: And the Sheriffs Office. Of course, they spread out all over the county, but I understand that. Okay. Because I knew that they weren't on the streets, you know. Okay, thank you. MR. GIBLIN: And then the other comment we heard was tha the market may already be addressing this issue. There's been ~ reference made to approximately 4,000 apartment units coming e9 nline in the next few years. Here's a list of them. And to date ~~have real-world examples from two-and-a-third of them. ~ .,_,, The rents that are being charged, for example ,. at Ins ira Lely or Milano Lakes, which are the two on this list th , t hav already been built and are leasing, are for a two-bedroom at Is ira is $1,527 a month, and a two-bedroom at Milano Lake: is 1,Lt-20. Commissioners, if you remember bal>K to a few slides ago when I showed you what the affordable re i far someone at the low-income level, those teachers, firemen, construction worker jobs, $54,000 a year and less, it was 1,350 a month. So they are coming onli g They're not hitting the target that the county has shown the grea est needs for. The third one is Pi , e Ridge Commons, which you approved their Growth Manage ent Plan and PUD amendment a few months ago, and they're no · easiijg yet. They don't have advertised pricing yet, but on the record during that hearing, their representative represented that, in his opinion:, , , one-bedroom at Pine Ridge Commons would go for $1,35 0. ,~- ~nether market comparison that you may all be able to compare to is Orchid Run Apartments at the comer of Golden Gate Parkway and ; ivingston Road. At the bottom are some of their prices. A 1/1 goes for $2,190. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: One bedroom/one bath, $2,190 a month? Page 82 November 13, 2018 MR. GIBLIN: That's from their website, yes, ma'am. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Orchid Run. MR. GIBLIN: So although there are units coming online, they are not quite hitting the targets that --where we have needs. So, again, looking through the list of the top community conce the dispersion, the jobs concentration, and then the market issu~s, have looked at. Next, we'll talk about density, traffic, schools, and th€ environment. And to do this, we heeded the communif,l s sidvice of the need for studies, and we commissioned an aff ordabh~ Qt1sing feasibility report by Davidson Engineering, an they finished that in September. For reference, two sites that are --they were commissioned to look at were the Bembridge PUD, whic is ug off of Santa Barbara near Radio Road, and the Manatee site h1ch is down off of U.S. 41 off Manatee Road. A little background information: The county purchased the Bembridge site on Januag,r-~ t , 2002, for $406,000 and change. It has a current appraised val e of $774,000. The Manatee site was acquired in May 25th, 1973; it was donated to the county. It as a current appraised value of about $3 million for 60 acres. And, Commissioners, I'll run through these one at a time now. I'll talk specifi€ Hy/ about the Bembridge site first, and then we can move on to t ~ M : natee site. i\gain, the Bembridge site is 5.11 acres. It's adjacent to an EMS station and in front of Calusa Park Elementary School. Using the maximum density bonuses allowed under the county's Growth Management Plan, a total of 81 units could be put on the site. New Hope Ministry nearby is already developing at 16 units to the acre, 304 apartment units, on 19 acres that they own. Page 83 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And on the previous slide, which one was that as far as the market rents? MR. GIBLIN: I don't know. I don't think they're advertised yet. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Ah, okay. MR. GIBLIN: So the feasibility analysis looked at those fo ~ things: Density, schools, traffic, and the environment. And I'm g©1rig to be just --in the interest of time, I'll be giving you a high-level summary of what those issues turned up. For each site we asked the consultant to provide tm:€e , ensity scenarios: A low, medium, and high density, and th€n fien --they look at the issues of schools, traffic, and environment naer each of those scenarios. First starting with schools, they found no issues with the schools in the Bembridge area at the elementa~ site. here was no issues with the middle school. And in 2023 theie's gging to be a new high school developed in that Golden Gate area. ~a once that comes online, there will be no issues with the high sc.hol )l either. All three of those school <r alusa Park Elementary, East Naples Middle School, and Golden Gate High School, are graded B schools by the Florida Departme t of Education. Looking futtfi er at traffic. The transportation report concluded that the propo e Be)llbridge product scenarios do not have a significant impact or adverse impact on the surrounding roadway network. nfil i erms of environmental, there were no listed species obset:\{e on the site. There's a small wetland that has regrown back. t' of ~ery low quality, and the professionals don't think it's going to be an issue for any type of development moving forward on that site. We asked them to provide some conceptual plans, high-level bubble plan. You can see that there's a residential area, again, between the low to high range of densities from between 29 to 78 units with Page 84 November 13, 2018 adequate room for drainage, preserve, and other county needs . The feasibility analysis was discussed by a joint Parks and Recreational Advisory Board and Affordable Housing Committee subcommittee on September 27th. And they were given the following pre~ise that if an invitation ~o negotiate is de:,reloped to collocate ~ housing and other county units on the Bembndge and/ or Manatee sites, possible criteria of that invitation to negotiate should include t -h e following. And on the screen you have some of what their reGoll}mendations were. There were general conditions that would arn,1~ t ~ oth parcels, and this is typically background information on he ~h.~veloper, how many units they plan to build, what their experience is, how they proposed to take down the land, those sort 0 things. And then specifically on the BembJ?i dg site, their recommendation was to move to a m0 er)3'. e to high density for 54 to 78 units. They wanted to see significant set-asides for seniors, veterans, and special-needs po tt at-i on, and by "significant" they meant anywhere between 10 and ~§ encent of the total. They acknowledged that it would probably mosl li ely be a multifamily rental development but would like to leave flex i ility to the marketplace; offer a mix of income targets concentrating with those that are in greatest need according to t e hou~i ng plan, and they would like all units to be restricted to incemes between zero --from zero up to 140 percent of median. u t fo he most part, their recommendation was to leave most of th € 6rite~ira to the housing advocates and/ or professionals who would l5 e bi (l ing on or submitting a proposal. We then brought those recommendations to each of --the Parks and Rec Advisory Board and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee at their independent, separate meetings. And we asked -- there were six members of each board present at each of those Page 85 November 13, 2018 meetings. And we asked them to gauge their support on this decision-making continuum which would range from you're totally opposed and the property should not be used for any housing at all to fully supportive and in favor of using the site for affordable housing. And on the Bembridge site , both advisory boards came down 0 n the fully supportive side . ~ Commissioners, I'm joined here by two representatives fr om the school district, and I'd like to introduce Ms. Valerie Wenli ia and Mr. Tom Eastman. They'd like to give you a little bit mor , iR&ight on some of the school aspects of the analysis. I think that their comments are going to apply to both sites, but now I think might 6 ~ an appropriate time for Valerie. MS. WENRICH: Thank you, and go d morning. My name is Valerie Wenrich. I'm the executive dire tQr uman resources for Collier County Public Schools. ~ As one of the largest emplox eFs 10 Collier County and an A-rated school district, we are vested in the interest to support the recruitment of our most talented empl0~e©s. One of the factors considered by all prospective employees is the cost of housing in our area. rospective employees must be confident in their ability to fi nd affordable housing that will meet their needs and the needs of the· r fa ijli lies. Collier County has the second highest median home p r ices in the state of Florida, so that definitely poses a challenge w u ep prospective employees are considering taking a posif n wit , the school district. fl:li ack of affordable housing has an impact on our school d i slri ot in a few ways: About 16 to 20 percent of our employees co ute to Collier County from the surrounding counties depending on the time of the year. Subsequently, these employees spend less money in our county, ultimately influencing the economics of this county. Page 86 November 13, 2018 We also see a financial and emotional burden on our employees who commute to our schools and making it difficult to retain those employees within the county. Recruitment for future employees has been more difficult --ho commute --because they struggle to find the housing in areas that are commensurate to the areas for which they wish to live and wor , -~ The district has been diligent in taking steps to overcome tBis challenge by maintaining an extremely competitive starting salary of $41,280, which is the second highest starting salary in t e ~t ate, only behind Sarasota, which has local sales taxes towards tb:eir salaries, and Monroe which just has a higher cost of living. We provide free health insurance coverage , o our employees, we off er tuition reimbursements for our emplo:y:e es, and we provide supplemental earning opportunities throng eaUership positions and coaching, providing excellent learning enNironments in a well-maintained facility enhanced with some of the best technology in the area. In addition, we adve Ftts e e following benefits of living in Collier County: It's one o ~ he most beautiful and the most healthy places in the country. We have free access to incredible beaches, the ability to engage in outdoor activities each year and year-round, and it's one of the safes an statistically low-crime areas in the state thanks to our CCSO partners. Local zoos, parks, assortment of restaurants, farmers mar~ets, and access to the arts. Why wouldn't someone want to h ¼e in C Hier County? J;)es13ite all the benefits of living in Collier County and working f o the school district, the availability of affordable housing for our worf f orce is still a grave concern. And as we continue to see those costs of housing rise in our area, we're committed to do our part in making Collier County a great place to live and work. And to assist in this effort, we developed a landing page for our district website with Page 87 November 13, 2018 resources and information about our school district that someone considering taking a job or moving to the area can utilize as a tool. We share this information with our local businesses to be used with their human resources staff as a tool to help promote the benefits of working and sending their children to school in an A district in Collier County. ~ This is just one example of how we are trying to assist in continuing the growth of our local community. As manY. large organizations take steps to work collectively to addres coi;i cems about affordable housing in Collier County, the school distr.i ct remains supportive of any and all efforts taken by you, the cou ty, to address the issues in Collier. Thank you very much. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Could I ~u~t ay something? MS. WENRICH: Yes, ma'am. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'll ake it quick. I called Kam Patton and let her know of all th'. ousing that is coming on board here, and it's all right in the r~gn t price range, because two teachers would be $82,000 a year. ~hat falls well into that range, and she was thrilled to death. And then I called a couple principals, too, to let them know. I know the 're 151ot A schools, but they're great schools, and they work real hard with the kids. So, anyway, I just wanted you to know that there's 10 s of them coming on board, and they're nice. S. WtENRICH: Thank you. ~6>MMISSIONER McDANIEL: Could I ask a question? Or you 't ,, ant to hear it right now? It's up to you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Can we get through the presentations? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sure. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Is that all right? Because it's --we're getting to 12. Page 88 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: And lunchtime is -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Unless you have a question -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It was specifically -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --to the school district. COMMISSIONERMcDANIEL: Yes. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh, okay. I'm sorry. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: To Tom or Valerie, ert-h er one. I mean, Ms. Valerie, the suggestions that you're talking about with regard to the school district being wholly supportive o:6 tne eounty's efforts in providing for housing affordability are nio€. M d I know that there is incentive pay that is being offered up f@ ceftain locales. I know over in Immokalee that there is premiums paia 1n a salary base to assist with the travel associated with the teaB , ers and such. But the school district owns a l~t o :fR ts @w n land, and what efforts --oh, here comes Tom. How you €10i g, ,sir? MS. WENRICH: I'm the hu , an person. He's the land. COMMISSIONER McDNNII L: He's the real estate guy. All right. And so that was one o :B --one of my suggestions. I mean, we're all talking about this n o using affordability issue. There is a tremendous amount of UN.its that are, in fact, coming online. Some of which have pricing; some don't. And we're all talking about the necessity ofhinng gpvemment employees, schoolteachers, firemen, first responders, and the like. But the onus seems to fall over here solely on Oo li~r County in order to provide for those things. nm I' . , just wondering what the school district has, if anything, t~F~vitle for housing for startup teachers and the like, if you do. _ 1 ~R. EASTMAN: With respect to land, many of our sites are slatecl for future schools. And I think Valerie went over some of the things that we're doing in terms of pay and trying to recruit people. Ultimately, the school board would have to make any decisions about offering land for affordable housing. Page 89 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Okay. Thank you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Did you think of, like, building it on some of this property that is a school that's living there right now? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah. But we have housing for sheriffs officers that are on site now. And, again, I'm --this is just me --this is just me thinking along those lines. I just --a small hous im complex on a school site to support first-time teachers and the like, new hires. That would be something I think would be an actual benefit. Having the website, offering incentive pay, telling ~eople how beautiful Collier County is, that's all nice, but that --tliat doesn't necessarily hire them, and do something to actu<1l1 come and live here when there are other places that they can, in act, go and commute. MR. EASTMAN: Good morning, ~Qmmissioners. My name is Tom Eastman, and I'm here to speak 0n 13.,ehalf of the school district in support of the county's potential ho si n g affordability projects. The school district staff has ~erformed a courtesy capacity analysis for both of these fffioj cts, and it generally indicates that the school district has adequat€ s ace to accommodate the projects. In the past, the sch0ol district has worked with Collier County Sheriffs Office, 0cal fire departments, hospitals, and the City of Naples to SUP,R)O'rt anJt facilitate the development of housing affordabili!Y proj ects for essential service personnel. The school district, along with those others entities, remains supportive of housing affor,d ao.ili " initiatives that benefit our community's teachers, nurses, publi employees, including first responders such as paramedics, police officers, and firefighters. Therefore, the school district respectfully requests that the Board of County Commissioners vote to continue moving forward with these housing affordability projects. MR. GIBLIN: Thanks, Tom. Page 90 November 13, 2018 And, again, both of these sites, both the Bembridge and Manatee site are immediately adjacent to existing schools, so we're glad that they've analyzed them for us, taken it to that level. And Commissioner --Mr. Chair, this would be --it's the Board's pleasure if you wanted to talk about these or make a motion one by one, or would you like me to go through the same analysis of Ma ate e site? ~ UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Yes. 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: What's the pleasure of the 0.<\Pd? Do you have site-specific questions? Does anyone have quest1 0 s regarding the Bembridge property? COMMISSIONER FIALA: No. It seems li ke everybody that we saw or read in here was in favor of it. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: F he tJBe mbridge site. COMMISSIONER FIALA: 'Ti h B e,mbridge site, yeah. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Let's just k eep going. Let's just keep going. We're going to run out o ti m e here before lunch. MR. GIBLIN: No v0blem. We'll talk about the Manatee site. Now, it's 60 acres. CHAIRMAN SOLI S: 'm sorry. Wait a minute. Did you have -- COMMISS, ©NER SAUNDERS: This would apply to both sites. You've got a ran e o:f 0 percent to 140 percent, and I'm not sure what kind of messag that sends to the public. But we're not looking for housing f on people with incomes of O percent of the median. ~O 'ISSIONER McDANIEL: Correct. ~6>MMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So why do we have that range, antl w. 1 at is the real range? MR. GIBLIN: It would be better said below 30 to below 140. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Zero is below 30, so that still doesn't help clarify what we're looking -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's just saying that the whole range of Page 91 November 13, 2018 what we consider, what we're looking at. .. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Anybody that needs a house? MR. GIBLIN: Those were --you're right, Commissioner. Those were the recommendations of the advisory boards was, for example, if someone at 30 percent of median income can afford to rent at $519. Many of your special-needs individuals, seniors, fall in that kin<d o:6 category. So I don't think we're talking about zero, but theY. d1El ant to look at some of those most in need. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yeah. Let's keep going thn~ugh the presentation, because there's a lot of people, I think, at are here that want to speak. So ifwe could just keep going, that w~ ld be better. MR. GIBLIN: No problem. The Manatee site is 60 acres. It was oe n ceptually designed as a park about 10 years ago. There is no .date 0r fun ding planned for the park development for at least the next de ade or so. You could develop up to 15 u its to the acre on there, putting 900 units. Manatee and --Manatee ,M i8 dle and Manatee Elementary are immediately adjacent, and the e i s a potential for carving out a section for housing and other uses. Again, our consultant performed the same analysis on the Manatee site as th e;y did on Bembridge. We looked at density, schools, traffic , and enNi onmental concerns . Their contd u ion was that there are no significant issues preventing .ev.eiopment of the Manatee site. One --straight up front, our in tm ct · 0ns to the consultant when performing their analysis was we w an to retain the majority of the park uses on that site. We tasked t'B~m with only looking at half the site, 30 of the 60 acres. So all of the numbers you see and all the analysis done only looks at a maximum of using half of the site or 30 acres. That would equate to a density between 88 on the low side , up to 440 on the high side. As far as the schools, there were no issues with the middle or high Page 92 November 13, 2018 schools. The elementary school already exceeds the school district's level of service. It's at 97 percent capacity right now, and they have an adopted level of service of 95. The schools that would be serviced by this site would be the Manatee Elementary, Manatee Middle, and Lely High School. All three of those schools are graded B school by the Florida Department of Education. ~ Any time that the school district exceeds capacity at an particular school, their first option is to restrict the studen s that feed into that school, to adjust their map so that they don't ha~e any schools that have empty seats and they have schools that h Y:e n @t enough seats. So if capacity were to ever reach over 10 Q eicent, they would evaluate their availability. And one other thing to mention is that i;>.ortable classrooms are not considered when evaluating level of se i:vi~e OF the school district at their schools. They only count perman ent classrooms. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I do n 't understand what that really means . You can't count the --ii ~o . 'have a bunch of portables , you don't count them? CHAIRMAN SOLIS. They don't count those for determining the level of service . ✓ Excuse me. :L adies and gentlemen, we're trying to have a civil discussion. Ana eveyY one's going to have their chance, if you want to speak, to s12 ea~, but I'm going to ask everybody to be respectful so that we can continqe and get through this presentation. RL E )\STMAN: The Chairman's 100 percent correct. We do these r e iews of the concurrency for school. It's basically what deman cl will the development create for school seats. And we do not con · ider portables in that analysis. MR. OCHS: And what was the conclusion for Manatee? MR. EASTMAN: For Manatee, there's no problem at the middle and high school level. There's no problem at the elementary level for Page 93 November 13, 2018 the low density development; for the middle density development, there's no problem; and there's a slight overcapacity problem at the highest capacity development at the Manatee site. MR. OCHS: Thank you. MR. GIBLIN: In addition to schools, just like the other sites , e looked at traffic. Again, the high-level summary of the traffic was that the estimated traffic will not trigger a level-of-service deficien at Manatee Road and the Roost Road intersection. There are some site improvements that are recommended to be done to acoo , odate this site, like turning lanes , intersection improvements. There is a small section of Collier Boulevar d out in front of the W almart that is scheduled to fail with or withou any evelopment of this site in the coming years. And as more developments come online, they'll presumably be partners in a devele~me ,t --Developer Contribution Agreement to address th 0 e c oncerns. The level of traffic analysis that w ent into the analysis of this site is at or exceeds the level of traf:fl~ analysis that has gone into previous rezones that have been a Ffr0 ed 15y the county in this same area. And then, lastly, envi'I0 nmental issues on the Manatee site. Again, the site was looked at. There were no --no listed species were observed, but theFe are observations in other areas. The classify --the property is classifie ct as an approved development area per the Deltona Settlement Agreement. That should negate any mitigation requirements . -ut, again, our consultant was tasked with show t o 12 e s, and there were really no showstoppers in terms of e11+vironm ental results here either. his is the conceptual site plan that was produced by the parks department in 2008. It shows a passive park. Approximately all of the uses are concentrated on the western half of the park. The eastern half is largely undeveloped for passive recreation. There's a community center at the lower. Page 94 November 13, 2018 Again, the conceptual design on this site ranged from 88 to 440 units retaining the majority of the park uses. You can see that they fit right there on half the site, and adequately addressing preservation and water-retention requirements. Commissioners, I caution you to look at this slide as just piece s of --puzzle pieces. This is a conceptual plan. They can be slid fr 0 n1l, down, up, back. It doesn't necessarily mean that's exactly w e e the preserve needs to be. It could go on the right side, the left side , the top side. Again, with --the residential area could be interw0 eµ: amongst some of the park uses, but this is simply just a spatial et;ognition of how things do fit on the site with retention of h lf o ~ He site for park pit or something. MR. GIBLIN: It's cuu ently --during Hurricane Irma or after Hurricane Irma, it was a deoris mulching center. CHAIRM SOLIS: Oh, right. I'm sorry . Right. COMMIS ~IO ER TAYLOR: And the lake --just a quick question about :he lake in the --I don't know if that's --is that north? MR. IB ~IN: Yes. ~O "ISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, yeah. So that lake is existing t0day? Because I didn't see that lake. Okay, it is. M R. GIBLIN: There is a lake. There are some enhancements to it done in the park plan to give it some contour on our side, but it does COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. And when you talk about improvements to Roost Road and Manatee Road, one of them would Page 95 November 13, 2018 be to widen those shoulders to widen the road a little bit, I would think, right? MR. GIBLIN: We have our traffic engineer here, but, from what I understood, it was minor improvements. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah. MR. GIBLIN: Striping, yeah. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. MR. GIBLIN: Again, the joint committee looked at t is site. Again, they agreed on the same general criteria for both 1_2a;,rcels as being good ideas. The joint committee, they made a reG tJ mmendation to reserve at least 40 acres for the park, as is tyyjcal ize of a community park, and use the remaining 20 acres for housing. Again, they recommended strong set-as· des for seniors, veterans, and special-needs populations. They .want€o ·o allow design flexibility with consideration for the neighboF re gar ing setbacks, orientation, building heights. They said the hoNsing, again, may be integrated within the park as part of the de,si n. They said that perhaps a mix of rental and ownership, and tbe, anted to include long-term rental restrictions should any of tn e be rentals. One other interesting recommendation of theirs was that it should include a Develol}€r Contribution Agreement to provide resources to jump-start the consfl)ttction of the park or a senior center or community center on the si €. We tH , ~gain, brought those recommendations to both full co . itli ees Again, six voting members were present at each of those m€·efng , and you can see from the --with the PARAB, we had three w Q vere totally opposed, two generally opposed but willing to con · ider discussion, and one fell in the generally supportive but still have concerns line. From the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, we had two totally opposed, one generally opposed, two generally supportive, and Page 96 November 13, 2018 one fully supportive. So we had mixed results from both the advisory committees. And, Commissioners, that brings us to the second of our recommendations, and the staff recommendation, again, on Manatee would be to move forward with an invitation-to-negotiate process~ including the general and specific criteria by the joint committee. Accept any specific predetermined acreage split --I think tha · t _ ay be best to let the market tell us how they think things shoul oe split out --and to explore options to collocate housing that's a f9rdable on the site while still maintaining the park uses as previous1f proposed. And, Commissioners, that is the end of m i fl rese.ntation, if you have any questions. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I know that w ~ave a number of speakers. Does anybody have any other questions fur st aff? Commissioner. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Just QUC!, if I may. Yes. You were saying collocate housiN:g on the park site. So, in other words, it wouldn't really be a n ai k. It would be more housing, right? MR. GIBLIN: I thi t~at ~H e invitation to negotiate would allow the market to have flexibih:{&;. that it very well could be 30 acres and a fence and a wall and 30 · cres, or I think that there are some particularly inter@sting design concepts that could be explored that could weave ho . sing _. n and around other park uses. COMMI SIONER FIALA: So it wouldn't be a park anymore. Okay. The see0nd thing is. ~ ~I AN SOLIS: That's not what he said, but okay. ~6lMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That is what he said. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: That is what he said, isn't it? The second thing is you didn't mention what new projects are coming on board. Like, for instance, Argo Manatee is in that area, right, 191 units? And then --and what we have in that area, five mobile home parks, and we also have the condos over there, right? Page 97 November 13, 2018 But what are the other ones that are coming on board? There was a couple other ones. Did you -- MR. GIBLIN: Commissioner, I'm not familiar with the names of all the proposed developments there, but I can tell you that our traffic engineer did look at all the background traffic and all the recent ~ approvals, and those are included in the analysis. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. And there's anothe piece of property that I don't think has reached your desk yet, but a group from Chicago came in. They want to build another 800 rental u p-i ts on board which is on 40 acres. And, you know, we talked abgu ti.re roads. There's only limited things you can do with the . ~nel just for anybody who hasn't been down there, everything's a two-lane road. And with all of the things that I just mentioned on there and the ones that are coming on board and this, md tH0n the 800 units, and that's just questionable yet --I don't 0w f they're going to come on board --I don't know how those e012 ft are going to get in and out of their community. And then I don't know ho the schools --I know that they're overcapacity right now; I derstand that. How can they take any more kids, or do they haNe to bus them? I just don't know that, but I think those are things that we ought to discuss as we move into this subject. CHAI Any other questions for staff? Okay. I know we have many speakers. M ~. MILLER: Mr. Chairman, we have 51 registered speakers this item. I'm going to ask the speakers to use both podiums. Please be ready when your tum comes. Your first speaker is Jim Gaffney, and he will be followed by Elliot Miller. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And when you're coming up, please keep in mind that if a speaker before you has said exactly what you're going Page 98 November 13, 2018 to say, to please --we've heard it -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Say "agree." CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --and just say that you've agreed with what has been said because, otherwise, we could be here till tomorrow. MR. MILLER: Is Jim Gaffuey present? ~ (No response.) ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Let me move on to Elliot MiUer. Mr. Miller has been ceded time from 26 speakers for a total o~ 81 minutes. Please bear with me issuing. Please. Please, I n ed to verify all 26 people are here. Ron Albeit? (Raises hand.) MR.MILLER: llL MILLER: Anthony Cardillo. Anthony P. Cardillo? 'O response.) OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Craig Chamberlin? MR. CHAMBERLIN: Here. MR. MILLER: Carl Chamberlin --excuse me. Carol Chamberlin? MS. CHAMBERLIN: Here. Page 99 November 13, 2018 MR. MILLER: Mike Mickes? MR. MICKES: Here. MR. MILLER: Carol Mickes? MS. MICKES: Here. MR. MILLER: Can't read the first name. Last name McAllis er. MR. McALLISTER: Present. ~ '\ ~ MR. MILLER: Thank you. ~ David McAllister? ,r 0 MS. McALLISTER: The other McAllister. ~ ~ MR. MILLER: There you go. Thank you. ~ ~ Joan Gorman? ~ ~ MS. GORMAN: Here. \,, ' MR. MILLER: Gerald Gorman --G ~~ Gorman, excuse me. MR.GORMAN: Here. ~V MR. MILLER: Joseph Vaccar~~~, MR. VACCARO: Here. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Can I just interject? Is that enough? MR. ELLIOT MILL ER: It's enough. CHAIRM SOLIS: Okay. MR. MIIi t R: We'll stop there, sir. Thank you. CHAI ~N SOLIS: How about that? MR. Jl D ~OT MILLER: I want to assure you, Mr. Solis, that I am no Here to filibuster. ~H~IRMAN SOLIS: Okay . That's good. MR. ELLIOT MILLER: But the number of people who ceded their time to me --and there are many more and many more whom I declined --is an indication of the strong, very passionate feeling of the community in maintaining Manatee Park intact. And, believe me, what you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Page 100 November 13, 2018 I am the chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Fiddler's Creek Community Development District No. 2. We abut Manatee Park at Campanile Circle. And you saw the schematic drawing presented by Mr. Giblin that showed the houses that he's contemplating right across the street from us. S So we have an interest in this. But I want to emphasize ~ something. I'm not here today only to talk on behalf of the res idents of CDD2 or Fiddler's Creek. I'm also speaking on behalf of tl\e Desidents of Manatee Road and Roost Road, number one; numb i: t:w:tl , I'm speaking on behalf of the all of the residents of this d · stri t; and, number three, I'm speaking on behalf of all of t e residents of Collier County because the staffs plan to give away parlc a d and waive impact fees in order to incentivize develop~~ subject to new and better alternatives that I will discuss.. ~ V First, let me talk about the forgo tt~n men and women here, and that's the residents of Manatee RoaB aw· Roost Road. All of the talk from staff is about the future. Afl d w e are treating the people who live on Manatee Road and Ro @s:t o ~d as forgotten men and women. They are the quintessential resi €nts of affordable housing. They live in very modestly priced or low p riced manufactured homes and trailers. They send their children to Manatee Elementary School. And I want to --I want to deal with this issue of the schools for a minute. Manatee Elementary School is so overcrowded --I don't care what the stat ist ics say --that there are four trailers, not school rooms. Kids/ re be·11g educated in trailers. Now, if that's not overcrowding, I someho v missed the bureaucratic impact. But to me --if classrooms aren't adequate and you have to have trailers, to me that sounds like overcrowding. And these people who live on Manatee Road and Roost Road do not want more school overcrowding. They don't want 440 times three or two more kids in their trailers because they won't be in the Page 101 November 13, 2018 classrooms. They don't want their middle school more crowded. They don't want their high school more crowded. These kids play in the neighborhood streets and, as Commissioner Fiala noted, these are two-lane streets. They don't want their --the traffic on these streets inundated with hundreds of more cars eve day, and it would be hundreds of more cars. And they don't rea 1):1 ~a re if there's new striping. They don't want the kids playing in a -area where hundreds more cars are going to be inundating these roads with or without new striping. ~ These residents have been ignored during this entlr rocess . Now, you heard some of the background from he staff. 1 want to give you another perspective of the background. The staff has viewed as stakeholders, ot tl1e people who live on Manatee Road and Roost Road, rather, He~ ~&v e viewed as the stakeholders and --in the form oft e 1state· older committee, which started this whole thing and genera e ,-, 1 these approvals that they have talked about. Their stakehQ ers are developers. This is on the stakeholders committee --d~~el pers of affordable housing, people who lease and rent and sell af ordable housing, executives from the Habitat for Humanity. I other words, everybody on that stakeholders committee would 12rofit economically from this transaction. The peoRl e w n()) live on Manatee Road and Roost Road are not stakeholders in h minds of staff because they're not making any money on fiis . They just live there. OiW , t e staff has all these consultants that they've hired and that you'¥e n:e-ard these reports about, and they state that nothing bad is go· ng to happen, but the overcrowded schools get more overcrowded, if hundreds more cars inundate Manatee Road and Roost Road even with new striping. And I must say, I'm not surprised at that report. I cannot imagine that staff would ever engage consultants, get their report, and present it to the Board if that report would say that staffs Page 102 November 13, 2018 plan is a bad idea. So any report you hear from consultants is going to say it's a great idea. And, as Commissioner Fiala noted, these consultants did not take into account the fact that there are going to be hundreds more housing units in the area. You mentioned the Argo development on Manate that's on Manatee Road and Route 41, and I think you said it was [9JJ units. Originally it was zoned for 225. But still, it's another '00, and it's another 400 cars, and it's I don't know how many mor I ids in the school. They also did not take into account the fact that a hl ort drive east on Route 41, maybe five minutes or seven minutes, the Habitat for Humanity has a huge tract of land, about a thousana acres, accessible at Greenway, which is gradually being zonetl for housing. This is -- we are conscious of this because this.is @pf?O ite the Sandpiper exit and entrances to Fiddler's Creek. That's a150ut a thousand acres. That's not been taken into account anywhere. They didn't take into account, these consultants, the substantial amount of time and effort tba ould be needed to remediate the environmental issues in tlie P-ark, and they claim there's none. I've seen a report saying that then~ is significant remediation necessary. I believe, C@mmissioner Fiala, that Mr. Schmitt has sent a copy of that report, a cl y {}u may have that. I've seen it. It does indicate serious need fo i: environmental remediation. And no ecly, not the staff, not the consultants, nobody is conside ing the fact that these folks on Manatee Road and Roost Road li~~hap p,i ly next to a passive park which the county told them 10 years ago w.as going to stay a park. The county --you saw the schematic from 10 years ago. The people who live there were promised that park. Now, the planning conversion of Manatee Park from passive to active was deferred because the money that was used --would have Page 103 November 13, 2018 been used for creating that nice park was used for Eagle Lake Park. That's not the fault of the people who live there. They didn't vote to have the development of their park transferred to Eagle Lake Park. And now they're told that it's going to be another 10 years before money can be raised to develop the park, so why not make it housing. If you lived on Manatee Road and Roost Road and you th0ug . i you had a park promised to you by the county and they said · €11, we couldn't afford it 10 years ago, we're not going to afford it fgr I O years, you might as well make it housing, that doesn't strike me a,s-,,fair. In fact, at one of the spring meetings of the Parks and Rec ~dvisory board, a consultant engaged --Fuller Consulta ts engagea by the staff --and the park staff talked about the significant nd substantial need for more parks in Collier County, and the:x 01d so based on the assumption that Manatee Park was going to e ain a park. So not all consultants _are in favor of thi~. ~ . There 1s another alternative f ot tBe park, one that can provide the residents of Manatee Road and Roost Road with a lovely environment at low or no cost. It's not going to take 10 years. The park can become a garden with blooming plant and trails and benches but no cement, no lights, no basketball 0,outts. Since funding will be modest, private donations can be sought to create the garden, and maintenance can be by volunteers. I had a home in England for 10 years, and I can assure this board that many, mazyy communities in the UK with far less financial whet~ itha han Collier County do exactly that. ow, that was dealing with the issue of the people who live in M1:1nafee Road and Roost Road. Let me talk about the district gen rally, District 1. The residents of East Naples, in District 1, particularly, feel strongly that they have borne a largely disproportionate share of low-cost housing in Collier County and that the county fails the Page 104 November 13, 2018 fair-dispersion test. Now, you'd never know that from the staffs numbers, but you never --they have a different set of reality than the people who live in District 1. There are many conflicting sets of statistics. I have seen one, and I think it was used when we were here in March, that said that Distri ct 1 has 52 percent of the county's low-cost housing. Other statistics, those used by the staff, show a greater dispersion and a lower allocation to East Naples. But many people contest the staf~s mumbers on dispersion and feel that they are inaccurate. Just lik~ tB~ir consultants failed to consult a lot of things, they feel tU t he staffs numbers on dispersion failed to deal with a lot of actors. For example, they don't take into accou?t e~sting affordable housing projects that were designated as sueh but are now more than 15 years old and are no longer officiall~ aff orBable housing, but the houses haven't evaporated. They'r stil t . ere. They don't take into account existing low-priced houses, J.11ch you saw from their numbers there are a lot of them around, hicb are not part of any official designation. In fact, the people wno live on Manatee Road and Roost Road are, as I said before, the ijUintessential residents of affordable housing. Now, there are issues --you heard from the school board folks, and you will he r, I't,r sure, from other speakers who are in favor of this. There are · ss es about people having to commute long distances or not locat ing in Collier County. Well, there are several answers to that. <O ne is there are jobs in North Naples. And if you work at Afftllrex ia North Naples, it's probably quicker to commute from Lee t111n than from East Naples. So maybe we ought to have Arthrex move some operations down here. The teachers in North Naples would also be better off commuting from Lee County than from Manatee area if they're in a school in North Naples. So that's a specious argument. Page 105 November 13, 2018 I want to now point out that there are two ways to create affordable housing in Collier County without giving up valuable parkland and without waiving impact fees and without pitting districts against each other. One, the staff has declined in the past --I raised this point in~ March. And the staff has declined to seek grants, that's free mone~ from the U.S. Treasury, from particularly HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development. They have within it something called the Office of Affordable Housing Programs which issue grant to governmental agencies like Collier County for the gu oses of buying, among other things, existing housing. That ca be u ~ .· a. You don't have to --you don't have to, numl5 er one, destroy a park; number two, go back on your promis o a community of modest people; number three, give away parkla tl a a impact fees when you can get free money from the U.S. G v ernment. It's not free; we pay taxes for it. But let me put it this way: ~o elected officials other than the five of you, money from the g @\Ze . nt is called free money. But there's even a more significant opportunity that I would like to call to your attention. It's never been mentioned before, to my understanding, at any of these meetings , and it's a relatively new availability. In the taX1 law t at was passed last December by Congress, there was something cs a led opportunity zones. Opportunity zones were created to ine e]lt1vize development in areas that are sorely in need of afforJ.i ao le H0 using. And the U.S. Internal Revenue Code now grants ve , '.V eJ:¥ significant tax incentives to motivate developers to invest in aff0.rdable housing. I can go into the details of it if you wish, but I'll just say --give you one or two examples . If a developer takes money out of the its pocket and invests in affordable housing and holds it for 10 years and depreciates it and has a zero basis in it and sells it, his tax is nothing, Page 106 November 13, 2018 zero. Now, if that doesn't appeal to a developer, I can't imagine what would. You don't have to give away parkland or waive impact fees to incentivize a developer when Congress is doing it for you. Another --they have another provision, a rollover is similar to a 1031, but you can roll over, sell an existing investment, and with'.im 180 days, roll that money into affordable housing in an opportuni rezone, and you have tax deferral for 10 years, and then you have discount of tax at --15 percent of the tax would be discounted. That's ,another incentive from these opportunity zones. Opportunity zones are created by the state o des· gnate to the Internal Revenue Service, essentially, areas that th state feels is the most needy for affordable housing. Collie ~ounty has two opportunity zones. Manatee Park is in neitli tlr one. So I would also mention Wal1 SnFee . lias been fast off the mark on this; hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars are now being created in funds, Opportunity F n funds for developers to utilize, to invest in opportunity zones, ancl get the free tax benefits, and that's there for the taking. There's no need for Collier County to give away parkland. There's no need to sacrifice parks at all. There's no need to repudiate promis@s you made to people of Manatee Road and Roost Road 10 years ago. There is an opportunity to motivate developers under the new opportuni~ oµes, and staff should reset its sights. Take aim at raising mon~ :urom opportunity zones. Developers are clamoring to get into these --use these funds now. Set their sights on --either that and/or getting grants from HUD, but don't destroy parks. Don't call it collocation when you're destroying a park. And I would say one other thing: We've had this discussion now since March. We've had meetings at Parks and Rec Advisory Board; we've had some meetings here. If there are not enough votes on this Page 107 November 13, 2018 board to change the zoning , let's not spend any more time and effort and money on this project. Let's end it here and now. Let's keep Manatee Park a park, please. Thank you. (Applause.) M~. MI~LER: Y o~r next speaker --ladies ~nd gentlemen: ~ please, 1n the interest of time . Your next speaker 1s Amanda B ~1gfi s. She's been ceded three additional minutes from Tracy Duhaney. Are you present? MS. DUHANEY: Here. MR. MILLER: She will be followed by Patricia oung. Ms. Young, if you could wait at the other podium, N ease. Tn ank you. MS. BEIGHTS: Hi. For your record, my name is Amanda Beights. And I have to say that the gentlem an does not speak on behalf of all Collier County resident ~. ~ The topic of affordable housiti1~ is o . e that has been discussed for years, if not, now approaching decade in our community. I am proud to be here today with many ot ©Ii ai v ocates of affordable housing in the audience. Feel free to f i e ~our hand, which you can see in the audience here today. It's hard for us to b € here right now. Speaking at County Commission meeti ngs isn't exactly easy to do for the thousands of young professi o als that care about this topic. In fact, I just lost two of them right no ecause they have to go back to work. But pleas~ aon't let our absence at these meetings fool you into thinki g ha we don't care or that this isn't an issue worth fighting for. i\t the end of the day, I know that the items up for your approval aren't the only solution for affordable housing, but it's a step. I know it's not just up to our county to fix this issue, but it's a step. And if we're not taking any steps , then what are we doing? Are we waiting for the free market to fix itself? I, thankfully, live in a home that I had the incredible fortune to Page 108 November 13, 2018 find in 2011 when the market tanked; otherwise, I would not be able to afford to live in this wonderful community, work here, volunteer here, and vote here. I believe that I'm a valuable member of this community, just ike everyone in this room is, and I am the face of affordable housing; s are your nurses, so are your law enforcement deputies, your chiUlE en' s or your grandchildren's teachers, your insurance agents, and a11 of the workers that make your and my life comfortable. Why can't we be your neighbor? What about us , 0 9'U not want in your neighborhood? Waiting for the next economic downturn 0es n:@ exemplify leadership. Collier County is better than that. Golli er County is an A-rated school district because of our great leadership. Collier County is the safest metropolitan county in the state ©Lflorida because of our great leadership. That means our c0un~ uperintendent and sheriff get ahead of problems and put in resout ce when they're needed and oftentimes before they're needed ~his means that county leaders work to assure that all citizens in ~t1 lier County have access to the same quality of care. Collier Commissioners, now it's your tum. I know all of the --I know that you know all of the statistics on why we need to start making these steps, ~0 I'm not going to use my time re-sharing them with you. I kn0w you know the need. I know you know how incredibly E:arfl ·t is for employers, including Collier County Govemmen, to continue struggling to recruit and retain our vital talent. stated that waiting for the next economic downturn is not an appropriate solution for our community; however, some may argue that our crisis is actually right now. County Commissioners, it's time for all ofus to stop pointing our fingers out saying it's somebody else's job to fix this, holding our hands Page 109 November 13, 2018 out and saying, not in my backyard, or throwing our hand up and saying, we will do nothing. It's time to point at ourselves and ask what can we do to make this happen. A friend of mine in education texted me on the night of the election when the election results came in, which actually may have surprised you, saying, quote, this shows a change in philosopz fur lilur community reflective of a different community of voters. I think our presence here today shows you that as well ~ amd I hope your decisions today will finally reflect that change. Ti a~ you. (Applause.) MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Patr: sia -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: How many o yo live in East Naples? MR. MILLER: Your next speaker · s followed by Robert Rohrer. ~ MS. YOUNG: Yes, I'm going to - MR. ROHRER: Robert Rehrer yields his time. MS. YOUNG: I shoalcl e able to make this short because I very much overlap with what tn e very first speaker, Elliot, said already. And I'm --I see it as two different issues here today. We're discussing a place to put affitJF dable and we're discussing the use of parkland for uses other tha 9 arK ,,and. And I'm here to def end parkland. Park --w :v e counted cars, we've counted traffic lights, we've counted sc Ei oo ts, we've looked at the environment, but what about the socicil · nfrastructure of our county? Parkland is the basis of our social in£rast &ture. It's where people congregate and gather, and it cannot l5e ou __ 1icated in any other way. So I'm suggesting that we not use parkland for anything except its intended use. And if we have to wait for 10 years to get a buildout, fine. I think Elliot made a very good suggestion about the gardens. But it's quite an oversight when we do all these different studies. Page 110 November 13, 2018 We've paid ULI. They have said we need housing . We paid --we count the roads, as I say, but no one, no one, as far as I know, has counted the social infrastructure, the uses of beaches, museums, libraries. Parkland is the same kind of thing. And one of the representatives from the school system said tliat what they use to lure people in. It's a beautiful county. We've got iGJ ts of parkland. And, by the way, I am a former teacher, so I ha e n o problems with teachers living next to me, and I hope nob0d~ ad a problem with me living next to them. ~ Anyway, I'm saying today to commissioners, , leas e consider the value of parkland. It's irreplaceable. Right no the r e's an expensive study going on in the county in the CRA --Baysfi ore CRA area where Tindale Oliver is searching for parkland i toe Shadowlawn area. There's no land there. They're thinking e fi using the canal basin. So let's keep the parkland that e lia;v e. Please vote in favor of keeping parkland. Thank you venr mNCb. (Applause.) MR. MILLER: Your: nei t speaker is Monique Irwen (sic). She will be followed by Bart J0seph Jackson. COMMISSIONER TX. LOR: Just to address the speaker before and certainly the sfeakers here about parkland, if we remove Manatee Park from the equati9 n, we still have a surplus of parkland according to our most recent 2018/2019 AUIR right here. COM . l~SIONER FIALA: Which happens to contain the new sports cente , right, sports complex, which then changed the balance. ~6>MMISSIONER TAYLOR: Right. I'm just telling you we li a¥e a surplus. We're not --it's not as ifwe don't have parkland. We hav a surplus of parkland. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Monique Irwen. MS. IRMEN: All right. So I'm Monique Irmen, and a couple of things. While I understand you may believe we have a surplus of Page 111 November 13, 2018 parkland, we do not have any parks, as I understand it, east of Collier at this point if we remove Manatee. Is that correct? I believe that's correct. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That would be a question for staff, but go ahead. . . ~ MS. IRMEN: All nght. So what I want to do today 1s I w nt ~ present to you 1, 100-plus signatures opposing the re-purposin oi Manatee Park, again, for all the reasons that were discussed b s f ore. And I do want to let you know that Elliot Miller volunt€er~d to go to Broward County to get us another 200,000 signatures i w e need it. So I don't know. ~ (Applause.) ► , MS. IRMEN: We've got to have a litH€ humor today. He was the one that started it. All right. • So I don't know who to give thi s Q . ~his is out on change.org. These are --so I guess you get this. 'rhere you go. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next iJ2eaker is Bart Joseph Jackson. He's been ceded additional time fr @m John Tiano. Are you present? MR. JACKSON: Mr . J"'iano had to leave. MR. MILLER: Okay. John Moretti. MR. MORE<I TI: Here. MR. MI~CER: So you will have a total of six minutes, sir. MR. JAC SON: Okay. MR. MlkJ{ER: I'm sorry. He'll be followed by Jean Kungle. RL J CKSON: Thank you. There's a painful reality that comes witll being employed in America. Having a job does not guarantee you will b e able to have a life that provides a stable, affordable place to live. It's a fact of life, okay. Collier County workers need --now, when I use the term "workers," it's all-encompassing. May I say that? Workers in general. Collier County workers need but have not had a meaningful Page 112 November 13, 2018 increase 1n 1ncome or wages. That's the basic housing affordability problem. Collier County's workforce is simply not being paid a fair wage for a fair day's pay, and that's where you have this problem of affordability. Declining affordability is the result of stagnant wages, low leve s of skilled labor, and rising housing costs; however, how we me.as r affordability will help us better understand the underlying ca S€S of the problem. What Collier County is attempting to do is to c 0me np with a housing affordability cure that leans far too heavily on adclp essing the symptoms and not the cause of the issue. It would seem simple enough that the role o tn county should be if people cannot afford to live where they work, t e county should look at a vast array of solutions to get workers e ougli compensation or enough support so they will be able to d0 so . hat might include moving closer to work if workers s,Q dho os e. You are assuming far too ma~ lrlknowns regarding workers living outside Naples and havin a ~esire to pack up and move to East/South Naples. What if~(.\)' t assumptions are completely wrong? Have you researched how any of the target workforce you use in your accountability repo s would actually move to East or South Naples? Would tney? Could they? Have you resea;rched how many essential personnel have school-age chil oren and how important the quality of the schools would play an~ hose target groups possibly making a decision to mov o a t or South Naples? fl:li ePe is one undeniable fact when it comes to where someones cn oos€s to live. Consumers will attempt to move where the housing best suits their desirable lifestyle, regardless of what that desired lifestyle may be. Do we need to have a deeper discussion regarding exactly who will and will not be included in the category of, quote, workforce Page 113 November 13, 2018 housing that the county continues to position as the target group? Who will ultimately benefit from more affordable housing? We have a large population of homeless and economically challenged service veterans in Collier County. I've not heard one person address them and what their needs are . ~ We have a serious need to support the elderly, economicall~ challenged, and never complaining because they have too m ch ride to beg for help from you. We keep hearing from the county that term "esse t 1al w orkers," requiring affordable housing within the county, yet that group has not been accurately described, as the county plays u~on titr e community's responsibility to be "all in" on the county plan to clump more affordable housing in an area already sadd e el with a disproportionate share. • Instead of the county pointing its o . · pass at affordable housing as the solution, perhaps the discuss io should begin with the real root of the affordability problem. L 0w . ages for workers working within a county whose main produe b eing sold to our residents and tourists is the sun and the beach. T li at ' s what we sell. We sell the sun and the beach. If you want to li e somewhere where you sell the sun and the beach, you're goi g to pay a price for it. You want o go out to Aspen and you want to be a ski bum, you can do it. You re going to make $9 an hour at best, and you're going to have to huoale up with other people, but you'll have a great lifestyle. ~et's ake no mistake what Collier County has to offer as its number-0ne product in service: Collier County sells paradise, and pa adise comes with a very heavy price in form of high costs for all those that choose to live here, and I mean all of us, and I do mean all that choose to live here, both young and old. Age does not discriminate when it comes to affordability . No one is immune from the high costs of living here. Absolutely no one. Page 114 November 13, 2018 The cost of living in Collier County is 25 percent higher than the U.S. average. This is a fact Collier County employers have largely failed to recognize. For families working to earn a living, it's a daily fact of life. For retirees, it's a constant threat to their ability to outlive their nest egg. ~ For seniors and widows living alone, it's the fear of becomin g homeless and on the street. For our younger residents who ha e come back home after being saddled with excessive college debt, it' the fear of not finding a job in Collier County that allows the to ~e self-sufficient and not default on a student loan. There's a lot of people struggling in Collie CotlH from a lot of different groups all trying to survive while pride orces them to possibly not reach out for help. If we are going to discuss housing a=ffo ability, let's open our hearts and include everyone facing the P.re-olem, not just the select groups that some self-interest grou_R s i0cus their attention on. The fact of the matter is , Collier Countx El oe;S' not provide enough promise of a good job for workers because 0l1ier County sells fun and sun and the recreational opportunities t at go along with it. We manufacture very little here. We have no good manufacturingjol1t. They're very hard to come by. Collier County is not a manufac rin ;hub outside of Arthrex, our leading medical-devic wnanufacturer. Manufacturing jobs pay 30 percent more than ngnm.anufacturing jobs. More manufacturing jobs will incre;lse the diversity of Collier County's economy which relies much to h eav ily on hospitality, medical service, and construction jobs. Oollier County needs more jobs that provide a livable wage if we ever expect to attain sustainability. Low wages have been exacerbated by the decline of labor unions, lacking educational attainment and vocational trades, a surplus of workers in the labor pool, few companies offering health benefits, which forces those with it to stay Page 115 November 13, 2018 fearful to find another job, exorbitant student loans, and high numbers of undocumented or illegal immigrants willing to take ridiculously low wages. For decades, law makers have let the value of the minimum wage erode, allowing inflation to gradually reduce the buying power oft e minimum wage income. Don't buy the media reports of control e<ti inflation. It's nonsense. Visit a supermarket with $100 in yo r pocket and see how much that $100 will buy. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. Thank you. ~Qu~ time is up. MR. JACKSON: Okay. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: He can have a minute ofmy time if he needs it. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: No, no. His ti e is up. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker · s J an Kungle. She'll be followed by Laura Cox. MS. KUNGLE: Good afternoon Commissioners. I'm not going to take up too much of your time ~ lot of what was --I was going to say was already said. I will say I am here o behalf of myself as a resident of East Naples, and I'm also here on behalf of the East Naples Civic Association boa~d and we are definitely opposed to any parklands being changed into ~y kind of housing; whether it's affordable, market, it doesn't matter. And ca , say listening to a few things, the $3 million value on 60 acres, 1t o e12 e-nds on what you're going to use that use for. That 60 ac es to ~✓big developer would be millions and millions of dollars, and cl 0n' think we should be giving up any kind of parklands. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Laura Cox. She has been ceded additional time from Mary Catherine Quinn. MS. QUINN: Yes. Page 116 November 13, 2018 MR. MILLER: And from Rosalie Brainard. MS. BRAINARD: Here. MR. MILLER: For a total of nine minutes. She will be followed by Slone Delong. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And there's nine minutes , I think after th is speaker we're going to brea~ for lunch and take a short lunch. ~ '\ ~ MR. MILLER: Yes, sir. ~ MS. COX: Mine's six and a half. ,r 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. ~~ MS. COX: Good morning, Commissioners , staff~ and guests. My name is Laura Cox, 9478 Carmini Court. I support affordable housing, and I think w e can a o better. In the conclusion of the ULI study, they stated t at Co flier County absolutely has a housing affordability problem .• It i s not a crisis yet. The panel believes the county. e€. s to come to a consensus and establish a clear vision about how t 0 ove forward. Housing affordability is essential to creating and maintaining a vibrant and sustainable community, and Mlu e to act now will put at risk the very things that make Collier c ~111nty so special. Maintaining paradise is both a privilege and an obligation. So today I ask, do we really have a clear vision for locating and building affoni able i}ousing in this county? Offering affordable housing solutio s cannot be a standalone proposition. It also has a social resp ~ns-tLn lity. And it's when we merge the two, our social respo siibili~ with our vision, that we will be successful in creating ana maint aining that vibrant, sustainable community we seek for our fil wre. Unlike other cities and counties, ours is not a crisis yet. Fortunately, we have time . We have time to do better. If one of our primary goals is to offer our workforce the opportunity to live where they work, then let's consider what's Page 117 November 13, 2018 important to them. They probably have children, and a top priority or concern of working parents with children is schools. So, in essence, the workforce may have no desire to live here, to live in Collier County if that fusion of schools and housing options is missing or does not meet their expectations. ~ Today you are being asked for approval to investigate the futur e development of Manatee Park. So let's look at what surrounds Manatee Park. There is already a concentration of low-income properti s with more housing approved and in the works. And the sch@ol ~, well, the schools at best are mediocre. I found this very interesting, and it's been SROKern aoout today, the feasibility study considering development of aff@rdab e housing on the Manatee Park site stated no impact on Ma alee Elementary. How can that be? Well, it's because the school is alieaa at capacity, and at capacity, no further impact is even consi8 ered. So we have a proposal for housing that is affordable, but it's next to an overcrowded elementary scho0l. Not so good. Now, what does Manatee lementary look like? Here's some facts from --and, again, I'm not an expert, so I use the Internet, and this is what other people do, toe; Schooldigger.com. Manatee Elementary ranks 1,288 out o 2,100 Florida elementary schools. It's a two-star school. 93 pe eent o , the students receive free or reduced lunches, and in 2018 the cahsa1lated average standard score was 40 percent. Not so good. ~ A ncl Manatee Middle School, well, it doesn't fare much better. In 2018 it :ranked 10th among 11 ranked middle schools in the Collier schoo district. Here's the reality: If we --in providing workforce housing for our teachers, our nurses, our police officers, our first responders, they are concerned about our schools, and we should be, too. With their children in mind, they would most likely reject the housing at Manatee Page 118 November 13, 2018 park and look for a better choice. If we want a plan that works, if we really want to lay a framework that is a vision for the future, we need to do better. We need affordable housing. And if we know that schools are a major factor in our workforce deciding where to live, then it's only logical that we task our housing staff to collaborate with Collier County Public Schools. ~ How do we successfully integrate affordable housing info the landscape of this community without working in conjuncti@n with the school district? ~ Now, I'm going to try and pull this up. I foun t ·s online, okay. Now, he told me how to zoom there. Oh, there it comes. Now I have to figure out how to zoom. I found this map online at CollierCounfyFL.gov. It designates a cluster of three new schools. If anyb.od wan:ts these handouts, they're here. ~ An elementary opening in 20]9, a middle school opening in 2023, and a high school opening in 20 ~J . I-wish I could figure out how to make this zoom, but I ca 't. a happened to this plan? It looks like at one time --do you see w n ere the cluster is? I can't make it zoom. COMMISSIONER TX. LOR: Right down there at the bottom. Oh, you know what, let's close --oh, I'm going to lose my time, though. OkaY,. We 1,, what happened to this plan? It looks like at one time this was a c.d @a f vision. This looks like a foundation for future growth. Let's,;l'.e~isit his. Three new schools that could become the nucleus for a :famil -riendly community built with the intention to include aff0rdable and workforce housing --sorry. Okay. And there again, I mean, I just went online, and I found this map, so I don't know what happened to it. I do have another thing that we could bring up. MR. MILLER: Is that what you're trying to see here? Page 119 November 13, 2018 MS. COX: Yeah, that would be great. Okay. Three new schools that could become the nucleus for a family-friendly community built with the intention to include affordable and workforce housing in an outlying but still a central location of this county. ~ This is what a vision looks like. This is what will make you workforce happy to live where they work. This is the type o fp lan that could make an extraordinary impact on the future of CollieF County. Taking some little piece of parkland next to an alread~ ON~Fcrowded, struggling elementary school in the southern end of the ~ounty far from where workers work is not a solution or a vision for o r workforce housing. Affordable housing by itself does not en· eve the greater good. The proposal before you of collocat in H0using with a park is a good direction, but Manatee Park is tn wrong location. Before investing more time and dollars in ]2Q0r idea, as a resident of Collier County, I ask that you abandon ,t e · anatee Park effort and direct staff to bring back a smart growth proj ect. I ask that you explore the benefits of a family-friend community, a community where families enjoy housing at affordable prices and quality public schools, a community that 0 ffers both childcare and parks to play in. It's a branded co unity w'ision that could make Collier County a really special place to call home. Please n av e the courage to say we can do better. Thank you. ,~ ig12la:a se.) ~&A IRMAN SOLIS: One last speaker. Is the next speaker three mi ut€s? MR. MILLER: That's correct, sir. She's just registered -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Three minutes. And you have --looks like you need to get back to work. MS. DELONG: I do. Thank you for that. Hello, my name Slone Page 120 November 13, 2018 Delong. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Microphone. MS. DELONG: Oh, sorry. Is that a little bit better? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yeah. MS. DELONG: All right. Perfect. ~ Hello. My name is Slone Delong, and thank you for taking tfl e time today to listen. ~ Today I come to you not only as an individual but as the wice chair of Young Professionals Leading in Healthcare, wlucl); is a young professionals' organization for NCH Healthcare Sy te.tn. Now, when most people think of healthca e, tli e think of physicians, not generally a group that comes to mina when discussing affordable housing. And while we do hav i;>,hysicians that struggle finding affordable homes here in Colli en ~o nj;y, today I will not be focusing on them. Today I will be focusing on t e 1, · 64 young professionals we have living and working at NCH. Tti is group is comprised of nurses, physical therapists, office sta fl . ,r professionals, environmental service workers, and so much mor . These people are not only important to our organization but vital to the survival and well-being of our community. I've worke . in ~e NCH IT department for about four years now, and I repeatedl~ see amazing talent leave our organization because they cannot a f{0rd to live in Collier County. These are hard-working, ofte ~~ 1-Dffid individuals who are just wanting to start or grow a famil~, biat they cannot find a home here in Collier that meets their needs They end up purchasing a home in Lee County and, over time, get tired of the commute and leave our organization. Now, when someone leaves our employment, not only have we lost a valuable resource, but we now have to recruit and train someone to fill that gap. In our line of work, that time and money that we could Page 121 November 13, 2018 be spending elsewhere can have a real impact on our community. So the next time you're at a medical facility, whether it's ours or someone else's, I encourage you to take note of the person checking you in, the nurse or NA that gets your vitals, gets your measurements, the phlebotomist that draws your blood, and the pharmacy technicia that fills your medications. These are the people directly impacted by the lack of affordable housing here in Collier County, people that our community depends on. So I encourage the Collier County Commissioners to ~upport recommendations to improve affordable housing ogti() s here in Collier County, not only for young professiona s~ but for our community's health and well-being. Thank you. (Applause.) • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank ~ou I'd like to take a 45-minute lunch, if that's okay, because there's other people that have been waiting to speak, I think, and it's -- COMMISSIONER I~ ~ Could we take 50 so I can get to the restaurant and back? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. I thought you were ordering in. COMMISSl©NER FIALA: Oh, I don't know. CHAIRM~ S0LIS: You had asked Mike. Let's come back at 20 minutes of, ~eah, 45 minutes. ( A lune e0n recess was had.) llL O E HS: Mr. Chairman, you have a live mike. We're back on Item 1~ V r.Miller? MR. MILLER: Yes. Your next speaker is Jennifer Trammel who's been ceded three additional minutes from Laura Branson. Are you here, Laura? MS. BRANSON: Lauren. Page 122 next. November 13, 2018 MR. MILLER: Lauren, thank you. Sorry. Your next speaker after Ms. Trammel is Martin N estares. He'll be Go ahead, Ms. Trammel. MS. TRAMMEL: Thank you. Good afternoon, Commissioners. Thank you. Jennifer Tramm~ . I spoke to you a year ago this week, actually, in support o exploring alternative revenue streams for the county, including the local option sales tax so that we could fund communi prip rities, including attainable housing . And in some ways I thi e've made a lot of progress, and I thank you for your leaders:hi o that. And in a lot of ways, we still have a lot to do. For many people in Collier County, b ·ng a home is just as unattainable today as it was this time.las t :¾ear , perhaps even harder with rising home prices. ~ As a member of the Chamber's P lS lic Policy Committee, I believe creating housing options tfla t are safe and affordable for a variety of our citizens is a oroao public responsibility. And I come here today to encourage yo to support recommendations to expand affordable options in ou community. We know that this issue is critical to continuing to attract and retain talent in our a~ea. This includes those essential workers that we've heard aBQ ut: Teachers, construction workers, nurses. But it includes yo n professionals across nearly every industry as well. And J 11 say tt again, ifunaddressed, I don't think it's too strong of a statementr to say that we are putting the future of Collier County in je0~a12oy. I'm proud to be part of a vibrant group of young professionals here who are not only critical to our economy but who also give back to our community in really significant ways. I think they're exactly the kind of people we want to attract to Collier County and we want to Page 123 November 13, 2018 keep here. We want our young professionals to invest in this community, to commit to being here for years to come, but we've experienced that putting down roots in Collier County is becoming increasingly unattainable. I think it's fair to say nearly every one ofus has been on Zill ow looking at what our money gets us in other areas of the oo try. So let's talk about those numbers for just a minute. We saw in the presentation that even with an average I ncome, up to $94,000 a year --and most of our young professionals ai e not making close to $94,000 a year --you could afford up to $290,000 to purchase a property and, still, you would not re ch e median closed price on a sale in our area. NABOR reported tna tli e third quarter of 2018 the median closed price was $330,000, nearly 14 percent higher than what a family of three making 9.4,0f>0 oa afford. And we've experienced that there are very low in'¼ent ories in that price range, and we're competing with cash buyers. In the nearly eight years I'v e lived in Collier County, the rent on the original unit where I li ~ed n as increased 107 percent. Attaining a reasonable lifestyle in Col · er County is getting harder, and we see what our money gets us cross the country. So I fore see that brain drain is going to be a real issue for us as our talented ~Fo essipnals choose to go elsewhere. And we literally just had an example of this this afternoon. You should know that one of our colleag1Jes was here scheduled to speak, and she had to leave becaµ -e she received an email saying that one of her employees just submitt€a their resignation. And one of the exact pieces of inf0rmation they gave for resigning was the inability to find long-term aff o dab le housing. We're losing talent every day, and they're not going to come back. They're going to put down roots in other communities, and that means we're going to lose out. We're going to miss out with our businesses. Page 124 November 13, 2018 Our economy will suffer, and our community misses out on their really valuable contributions on a human-to-human level. So please don't take the lack of young professionals here in this room right now as a sign of apathy for government or for affordable housing. They're at work. We've given up at least three hours out o fi the office at this point. You see us working on our laptops, takin phone calls. We're trying to make a difference and make our Qices heard in the county. It's not easy at what was to be a 10:4 ite Tuesday. But we appreciate the time-certain. Thank ~ott. So, Commissioners, we need to address this lon:g-s tzanding problem. And I'm not saying that the Bembridg€ antl anatee sites are the place to do this, but it's something worth consideration, and we should consider other sites as well. But I think it's become clear today, fiat e~er sites we consider, we have a real perception problem here i]jl Collier County about who is workforce housing, who's affordable Ro using, and that was evidenced today by the comments I heard una~r people's breath as we talked about this issue. This per Rl))S 1s it<JIMBY'ism, not in my backyard, at its finest. So I just ask that you tnink of the people that you've seen in this room today whe ~ou think about affordable housing. And to echo Amanda Beigkts, doµ't we deserve a chance to be your neighbor, too? For give me for leaving after these comments, but we have to get back to wor~. ff hank you for your time and your consideration. ~O 'ISSI ONER FIALA: I just want to ask you something. Very good speech, by the way. What industry are you in? MS. COX: My background is in news and media, and I work for a company that archives news content with marketing communications. Page 125 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: So would you be willing to move down here to East Naples? Because we have lots of stuff right here. MS. COX: You bet. In fact, I used to own a home in East Naples. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, did you? ~ MS. COX: Yes. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. We have lots of stuff t at would appeal to you or anybody because they're in the righ~ --I live in a neighborhood where you can buy a two-and-a-quartei; ea~ily all day long , and the new ones that they're building, Argo M natee that I just mentioned, they're all single-family homes, and hey'i e right there by Manatee school. True, it's overloaded, but still, they nave that. There's a lot of things available, but I don't think a f body lives down here, and that's why I ask. • MS. COX: In fact, there are se era people here who do live in East Naples. COMMISSIONER FIAL~. So they know that there is an Thank you. MS. COX: But it's still not enough to fill the gap of what's needed. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, that's right, but, you know, other areas, 1'11} sure, are going to start coming up to the plate and offer,m g are s, too. M S . COX: And I think that's important to look at that diversity actQSS the county. Thank you. (Applause.) MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Martin N estares, and he will be followed by Alex Breaolt. MR. NESTARES: Hi, good afternoon. My name is Martin Page 126 November 13, 2018 Nestares, and I am a local business owner, and I also reside in Commissioner Saunders' district. I want to first thank the Board of County Commissioners for setting time aside for such an important topic as this. I think that it is very clear by everybody who came today, everybody who has spoR:en today, that affordable housing is an issue that Collier County cares about, that Collier County is worried about, and that Collier au_ ty needs action on, and that is why we rest on the five of you Q clo something about that. ~ I, as a young professional and all of the other i Ht1 rofessionals that have come before you are saying that, pleas€ d01t't give up on this topic. I know that it is a difficult topic. I know fiat tnere are voters who, for one reason or another, may not u tferstand who this affordable housing is going to help or wll t -~ t e purpose behind it. And with that, I ask that maybe w ha~e w ittle more education. Maybe we explain to these individtlals ho is the target audience for these communities. Now, there was a lo 01\a cem that a park is going to disappear, but was I sitting watching n ose presentations. And ifl remember correctly, the park is stil going to remain at that site. In fact, it's going to take up to 50 percent of that site. So nobody here --and please correct me if I' wrcyng --is talking about getting rid of a park. That park will still oe there. And why not have a community right next to a park, a commt{111ty that can be filled with young families with kids who "ean enJ0y that park? ow, since the time that I've lived here in Naples --and I've only l5een liere for four years --I have personally known four teachers who have had to stop working in Collier County because they could not afford to live here. One moved to Lee County, and the other three left the state altogether. We're talking about individuals who could, if they could afford, build their roots here in Collier County, individuals that Page 127 November 13, 2018 can give income and revenue to our local businesses, and we need that. We can't just be a town of tourism and retirees, with all due respect. So I please ask you that you not give up on this topic and that you give it the attention that it deserves. Thankyou. ~ MR. MILLER: Your next speak is Alex Breaolt. She'll be ~ followed by Nikki Dvorchak. MS. BREAOLT: Hi. My name is Alex Breaolt, an , w as born and raised in Naples, Florida. ~ My affordable housing story is a success storx, but I was able to live in my parents' house for two-and-a-halfyeai:s wi M my husband. And sometimes it wasn't ideal, but we were able o save a lot of money to be able to afford a house , and we actual]ry, ended up buying a house in District 1, and --in Kings Lake. \ha s tl1€ same --that story goes for my sister and for my brother, ex use me, but, unfortunately, that doesn't happen to many young pro fre ss ionals. They don't have that opportunity to live in their paren s' h ouse for two years. I also would like for ;r ou t o consider a tiny-home neighborhood. These are trending around the country, and they are small cottages that young professionals an w orkforce live in. And these homes are small in square feet , but they're also small in acreage, so there's not a lot of impact on the eammµnities around. And also, J st want to say thank you so much for having us young profesS'i0nals speak on our behalf, and I am --thank you so ~-MILLER: Your next speaker is Nikki Dvorchak. She has l5een ceded additional time from Mosy Saracino. MS. DVORCHAK: She had to leave. MR. MILLER: Oh. Then you will be speaking for three minutes and will be followed by Steve Sanderson. MS. DVORCHAK: And I also got, I think -- Page 128 November 13, 2018 MR. MILLER: Oh, I'm sorry. MS. DVORCHAK: --time from Jenna. MR. MILLER: I did not see that. Jenna is here. I do have Jenna's slip. I'm sorry. My apology. MS. DVORCHAK: Thank you. No, that's okay. Thank you so much. ~ My name is Nikki Dvorchak, and I appreciate your time t0ei ay. I just have a few examples of my personal experience an why workforce housing and really addressing this issue is so im13 ortant to me . First of all, through work I've had the oppo un· , over the past couple of months to be able to go out and visit mul ipie companies, probably over 50 in the past four months, anii discuss with them their successes and their challenges, what's gQl ing t)ll: with them and how things are going in_the communio/. ~ . . . And whether it be construction, fit)spitahty, healthcare, education, they all had the same challenge. Ille issue they have is attracting and retaining talent. They cannot 11 critical positions within their companies, and the reason, w hether they make an offer and the potential candidate is en ertaining it, they say they cannot find comparable housi g at an affordable price to where they're locating from. So the h e erpployer either has to increase their offer or lose that potential gt€at candidate. It's so et}li ng that we need in this county to be able to retain busin~sses irr this community and let those businesses continue to gr@ ~y own experiences are also very similar. My sister moved here four years ago, and she had to rent, and she has had to move every single year. Of course, having multiple different roommates, roommates who have that issue where they can't afford to live here and leave. She started working here at a childcare facility making $11 an Page 129 November 13, 2018 hour. So of course she can't afford to live on her own. And every year that she's had to move, because the rent went up. Last year she decided she no longer wanted to keep moving, and she wanted to buy her own home where she could afford to live and put down some roots. She searched and searched in Collier where he wanted to stay, where she works, where her family and friends .. aF , but she couldn't, and she recently just purchased a condo in Estero here she will now be giving back to that community, supportin th@se local businesses, and voting, though she works here in Colli e:i: @unty . I, myself, had to rent when I first moved here. I B0 ght a home , small, an investment, was able to sell it, and the uF hase a home that was a little bit more space for my family. I now n av e a growing family, and our house is, again, too small, et I can't afford to find a larger home. I can't afford that, and bot y n sband and I work full-time and very hard to give bac~ to our family. And I think the issue is that we O'n't remember that the cost of childcare is extremely high and t>as i cally a second mortgage. We keep discussing getting a roommat W ell, my husband and I are not going to entertain that idea. And so I say to you, it i s very important to understand we're not just talking about oung professionals who are coming here straight out of college . ' e'r~ talking about families; giving them somewhere to live, somew €re to put down roots, lets their children go to this amazing C @l i~r County public school, let them take advantage of this wond€r 1 u ality of life and remember that, yes, we're not just a re t irement community anymore, though we do want those people here. e want the philanthropists in this town. But guess what, they're not going to enjoy their quality of life here without the great service, without the great people, without the nurses that are able to live here and provide those services to them. So, please, continue to discuss this as an issue that's really Page 130 November 13, 2018 important, and don't run us all out of town. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Steve Sanderson. here. Marvin Guerrier. (No response.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Suzanne Orschell. (No response.) MS. KUNGLE: Sue is here. He is not MR. MILLER: Is Spencer Smith in the --go ahead Suzanne. Is Spencer Smith here? ~, MR. SMITH: Yes. \~ MR. MILLER: You will follow this --Suzanne rschell, please, Mr. Smith. MS. ORSCHELL: Good afternoon, <20 mmissioners. I actually had prepared a speech, bn I was sitting out there rewriting it, because as I'm listening to tn~, discussions today, some different things are resonating with me other than my initial thoughts. I've been around for a long i e, 58 years here in Naples; East Naples, probably 48 years. l 'M€ w orked here for 3 3 years, so I understand what the young tQ rofessionals are saying. But we do need housing. We do need at ordable housing for everybody. What I am a it concerned about, though, is the mixing of the terms. I keeP, earing workf orce housing. I keep hearing approved affordable , affor d ble. They're all separate entities. And as I looked at some of the sl iµes presented by the Housing Department, it only alloc,ttf es bet-w een 10 to 25 percent to special needs. So , ill our young professionals benefit from converting M1:1na ee? Bembridge, probably. But I don't know about Manatee. And, again, is that where these folks want to live? I think Laura Cox made some very good points. I think young families are looking for schools. I think it's very important to them, and I'd like to see a more comprehensive view taken of the various Page 131 November 13, 2018 sectors and what conditions and what things are important to them before we jump into a blanket, you know, 40 acres or whatever. So, again, I'm kind of endorsing Laura Cox's comments. Thank you very much. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Spencer Smith. He wi I be followed by Matthew Goodwin. ~ '\ ~ UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Not here. 0 ~ MR. MILLER: Go ahead, Mr. Smith. MR. SMITH: I'm Spencer Smith. I work for the it ed Way of Collier County. I am currently the director of progtams t ere. I oversee over $8 million that go out through ouN Gomm un1ty on an annual basis with social services, disaster recovenr, long-term recovery. You name it, we kind of handle · t I also run our Collier 211 initiat · ve , wJi" c is basically a resource referral hot line. And we constant!~ hav e the top three concerns is going to be housing, whether it is rno ttgage assistance, whether it is rental assistance , or whether it' ut ili ty assistance . It's one of the three. And it comes to show the di e n€ed for the assistance in these different areas. Our case managers often have to refer out to social services that they know have been depleted of funds. So they have to go through and do furthe t case rµanagement to kind of see and assess what's the current situation? What is it? What's the problem? Figure out other ways to sol~ the problem, because there is no solution for affordable housj g currently. it'll. the community only growing, it just shows that there is even a gr eat er need. I watched the presentation today, and I saw it was great. And I work on a lot of different funds that are either --either grants that are funded either federally , state , or locally. And I want to say the one that I'm currently working on is through the disaster case management, Page 132 November 13, 2018 which is a funding through Volunteer Florida and FEMA. It is a federal grant. And we have all of our federal statistics from that grant directly from FEMA. This is a part of a Region 3 grant where we are part of one of three counties that are receiving $5 million. This is between Browar d , Lee County, and Collier. Do you know how much Collier gol'.lffl of that $5 million? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Twenty cents. 0 MR. SMITH: Eight hundred thousand dollars, ana t ,at is supposed to last us for 16 months. Based off their data from the hurricane re €0v e~ we only had the need for $800,000. They only ascertained that ~ Had 289 cases of families that were going to be in need for t n1sing assistance getting back onto their feet. • To date --this grant started A pril 23:J? · of this year. I have already identified over 2,000 cases that we are currently working on to fulfill. And that's just the ones that are w.·Uing to come forward . There are a lot more families struggling. ] aJv e callers from your own government jobs, employees here that aFe calling and actually reaching out for help now. ✓ We are seeing a completely new demographic who's really trying to figure out how to µavigate social services. They've never been in this position before. They are too humble and too proud to accept these serviGes )1 the past. And now, a year after the storm, their credit cards ar© m x ed out. They don't know what to do. They've reached ro @R: bo 0 m. Not all of them have family members to help them fix or ass· st i heir issues at this time. So why we're stepping forward and trying to fill the gap. That's our role at United Way. We're trying to fulfill the needs of our community by covering gap social services areas. I don't have a lot more time, but I just wanted to say, you know, Page 133 November 13, 2018 we help over 100,000 families every year. Data's not always absolute, so that's why you need to trust the people who work firsthand with the issue. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Sonia Vargas? Vargas. (No response.) MR. MILLER: Not here. Your final registered s 1 eater is Nick Kouloheras. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think NicK fl omised us he won't take more than 30 seconds. I think I hear tlrat. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I hea cl infsay that. MR. KOULOHERAS: Well, as I pttll u:g y PowerPoint presentation, I have been ceded th time @f 7 5 other individuals, none of which are here, though, so I'll be 30 seconds. First of all, thank you ve~ ueh. What's amazing as I sit back and I hear all the conversatto , ·, ou know, working for Habitat for Humanity, I've always thought of Habitat just as the forefront, as the tip of the sword of trying to address this affordable housing issue we have here in Collier County. But to si Back ~nd hear everyone here today, I think most people in the room, w €ther you're for the Manatee site, against the Manatee site, or any of thi s, agree that there's an issue that needs to be addry:s eel , airtd it's bigger than Habitat. It is a Collier-County-wide iss~fiat..-affects so many of these young professionals that took the time out of their day. I mean, luckily for me, I get paid to stand up here. So I appreciate the time. But I just want to encourage you to continue to move this ball forward, as I've always said. This, obviously, is an issue that affects this county in many, many ways, ways that we don't even know yet, Page 134 November 13, 2018 and statistics cannot accurately depict what the negative impacts not having affordable housing can have on our community. So I do appreciate your time. I appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did want --one point of clarification. There was a gentleman earlier who said Habitat for Humanity owned a thousand acres ·rn E~st Naples. I'd like to know where that is, because I think we do a la t of great things on it, but that is not an accurate answer. We o obviously, own property in East Naples, but not of that sG.a,le. So thank you, Commissioners. Have a wondet ful hanksgiving. (Applause.) CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. That was outs ast speaker? MR. MILLER: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner MaDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: ~es. I just all of a sudden got moved in number-one speaker here , S ol et's see how this goes. First off, I'd like to say this. 'F e acknowledgment of the need is not the discussion today . l1 ' o to support the need. And though there's a lot more age up Hei e on this dais than a lot of the --several of the speakers that we've jttst recently had, most all of us were young professionals at s,~e stage or another. Most all of us had housing issues where, as we , ere coming through, we had to make concessions and we had to 0 things that we didn't really like to do but we had to do. ,So MT itTo: that, the argument, discussion, if you want to call it that, is et tli need. It's how do we satisfy that need. And I have regularly made uggestions to our staff of alternative methodologies to support the need that are not a requisite of government --who's got the button onme? MR. MILLER: That would be Mr. Kouloheras, sir. No, I'm kidding. Page 135 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So did somebody give the button to the chairman? That's what it was. MR. KOULOHERAS: Commissioner McDaniel, I cede my time to you. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. There you go. ~ The long and the short of it is is there are alternatives that ,<d 0n'r require government subsidation. We have capacities to sup 011 these needs that don't require government subsidation. I, myself:, w as a recipient of a Collier County plan that was put forth baGk irt the early '80s when I bought my first home. Granted, it was 125 ,Q00 total out off of 25th Street. But the program was set up t0 all eo1w or first-time homebuyers to not have to come up with the 10 percent down. And 10 percent of 125,000 is $12,000. And when ~ou don't have any money, 12,000's a lot. • And so we were allowed to oDlX ha~e to come up with 5-. We were allowed to borrow a portion o tBat 5-, and the PPI, principal payment insurance , was subsidi € by Collier County. And it allowed me to afford to buy my fi i s h e,me out off of 25th Street Southeast on the canal. There are --Mr. Elliot suggested other alternatives that are available that hav e yet to have been explored by our community. So I wouJ:cf higljly recommend --and I'm going to say this out loud to m Y. col1eagues. That as we move this issue to a vote, minimuml~~ WJt' segregate these two pieces of property that are being prop p -etl b )} staff between the Bembridge and the Manatee site be~®~~ as it sits now, you will not receive my support with regard to tRi initiative going forward if the Manatee site is included. So having said that, the last point that I'd like to make and --you know, it's been regularly mentioned that the folks from ULI came and talked to us and shared with us that we don't have an affordable housing crisis. We have a housing affordability issue that could Page 136 November 13, 2018 become a crisis at some particular stage, and some people have different diagnoses of a crisis or not. One of the things that I gleaned --and I've said this before, but I'll say it again because it's worth saying. Every thousand-dollar increase in the purchase of a home precludes 133 people that live within Col ier County's demographic of affording that home. Why are we not, as a community, exploring alternatives to ensure that the housing c0 t reduction is applicable to the individuals that are actuallY. purchasing that home? Manipulation of impact fees. We've the highes · m act fee structure in the state of Florida. Sixty-seven co nties" we're the highest. So why are we not, as a community, exRloring alternatives such as that? Q I don't think a person that came .he ne an~ spoke to us today in favor of housing affordability is lo 0king _<0r a handout. We're just looking for help. I got it. I don't th'.i anyone here is looking for a handout. They're just looking fe i n~lp. And I think there are alternatives there that don't tum worlds upside down with uses of p ieces of property that Collier County, in fact, owns. ✓ I made a suggestion to the folks with the school board today. Did you notice Tom'· an~wer when I asked him what the school board was doing with theii: land? That's a board decision. What's 1n~ Fire Department's doing? ere re alternatives and other pieces of property that can be utili-z-ed tg attract, keep, and allow for new employees to come to our co unity and assimilate into the structures that we, in fact, have from an affordability standpoint. That's all I have. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thanks for not hitting the Page 137 November 13, 2018 button twice. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. First of all, I think that's a great idea about building just even a small apartment building on each site where they already have schools, that would be a great idea, and y o would take up a lot of that property and give people places clos,,eF to their work. And the good thing is, that's going to be all over di € county rather than in just one area, which also might please peo le. U doesn't have to be just teachers, of course. It could be anybodr , . tJ;t at least we would see some affordable housing. I don't know that anybody's brought that up, but that's an excellent idea. Also, I've heard a lot of people saying there's no affordable housing. Well, I don't know, have they bu·,1 any affordable housing in your area? • CHAIRMAN SOLIS: We ha~e --1 r percent of the affordable housing units and 8 percent of the P-fO¥erty in the county. So there are some. COMMISSIONER I~ ~-here are they located? CHAIRMAN SOLIS. If you go up off Old 41, that's a lot of affordable housing on O d 41. COMMISSI©NER FIALA: Okay. So now you're hearing -- that's just what I'm a,s king. We're not building any recently, but there is some, right? CHAI . _~N SOLIS: Yeah. ~O ]')fISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Have they built any in the City of N aples? OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No, they haven't built any -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: That's all right. That's all right. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, they've got --no, that's not true. They're building Habitat for Humanity homes in the City of Naples. Page 138 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, they built one. Are they going to build more? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No. They have two most recently. C:OMMISSIONER FIALA: O~ay. But that wasn't the poin~ You didn't need to say that. Just saying, you know, yes or no, or , · tl know, I don't want to be making --I don't want to be making -fu of any, but that isn't the point of this. How about you, Commissioner Saunders? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Do I have t tJ sa~ es or no? I'll say yes. What was the question? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Are they buil Ming more affordable homes -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mes . COMMISSIONER FIALA: ..,-in ~our area? Okay. Well, all I hear is the _ 'Fe uilding great things in Golden Gate , and I heard all kinds of J2Fa:ises at lunch today, so I heard about that. And I know that the)z 'Fe bui lding some by you. COMMISSIONER NIB DANIEL: A lot. COMMISSIONER fIALA: Have they built anything --they aren't? COMMI S~IO~ER McDANIEL: No. A lot -- COMM! SIONER FIALA: Oh, yeah. COM .1~8IONER McDANIEL: --in Eastern Collier County. That' WJ her@ the most --there again, your housing --not to interrupt you, bu y our housing price component comes from construction costs , im~ac t fees, and in your cost of land. And where is the land the least exp nsive? The further away you get from the big pond. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sure. So now are they building more in Collier County you're saying, maybe? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: There is availability in Page 139 November 13, 2018 Immokalee, but they're not building any at this stage. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh. No, I knew that they weren't building any. I know that they haven't approved any for a long time. But, anyway, so let me tell you, although you-all have said, ~es, no, or maybe, I want to tell you there is a lot going up by me , and I can name a few of them right now, which I'm really proud of because , ey are doing that. And this is housing, as we said, for teachers, nu1;ses, and deputies and so forth. It's going up. And you can go in tHere and see. And there's single-family homes. Like, for instanGe , ~rgo Manatee, they're not expensive; they're not very ex ,'~ns ive, but they're delightful little single-family homes right there h~ Nf a atee Road. And they're --the whole complex is building right al @~ . guess --I don't know how many people already live in ther e . And then there's the one that someb0 du st talked about, Inspira. Well, they say it's comparable to Ot~~lf d R/{ln, but Orchid Run, apparently, is cheaper than Inspira. I Gi on't know that, but that's what somebody said in the audience , t a . it was cheap. Somebody from our staff or somebody said that tlle w ere a thousand dollars. Well, Inspira is not. They're about 13,5-and going up from there. And every -- every time they paint th~ front door, somebody's already moving into it. I mean, it's re Icy popular. We have lvf ilanJ;Y Lakes , and that's all rental property there, and they've got --it's great. Now, that's designed and built strictly for teachers, for n1J,rses, for that category, even have dog --two dog parks in thy-r e , bi -,wimming pool, a fitness center, and so forth, and it's a re as0na le price that the teachers and service personnel can live in. hen they have New Hope that's going up right now. Boy, that's ah ge place. I guess about 350 or so homes. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Three hundred and four. They're going to be very expensive. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, are they? Page 140 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh. So what price is that; do you know? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, what is it? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Very expensive. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. All right. And then they have one that they're building right o~e~ ere on Thomasson. I don't know the name of that place. I sh ru cl know it, but I don't at this moment. You see the wood structure bei built. And those are going to be studio apartments as well s others. It's all built out of wood. I've never seen that. But that's also in the marketplace. So you see that there's a lot of stuff being built here, and everybody says, no, you're not. But ~e'i,e got · t right here. Plus, Habitat is building a whole new village t . ere also. So you've got all price ranges --excuse me --meeting the need. And I don't know of many othe~ g0ing anyplace else. But we're trying to handle all of the needs. We can't all do it in one area. And maybe people are just saying we'r not building it where they're working; that could be the case. ✓ But then schools could be distributing it around, too. If they're not building i anyp ~ce else, don't look at me. We're doing our best for everybody. o thank you. CHAI . _~N SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor. ~Q ]')fI SSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I guess we could put housing at Naples High School, but I think we're going to have to m0ve the football field. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I don't think Naples High School would work. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But you said --right. And Lake Park, I think we're going to have to get rid of the parking at Lake Park. Page 141 November 13, 2018 They're going to have to get rid of the track at Gulf View Middle. Let's see. Seagate, agh, no place to put it there. So when you talk about putting housing for teachers on school property, the property has to be large enough to accommodate them. And the last time I looked at these --I guess Lely might work but, gosh, they'd hate to lose their football field, too. ~ I don't know where you'd put them. Now, could they Ian in going into the future? Perhaps. But we need to talk abou now. We need to talk about 1,764 employees at Naples Commu iey }lospital -- and I think you worked for them at one point, ma'am -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: I did. Thirteen 1 ears. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: --who nee hl housing. We heard that testimony today. We heard testimony t-n at tn e only people on the stakeholders committee were people .w o ar going to make money -- COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: That wasn't -- COMMISSIONER TA YLORJ : --from affordable housing. COMMISSIONER McDNNi ffi L: That wasn't a fair statement. That's not correct. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: Well, I'm glad you agree with me, because the last time I looked, the school isn't making any money and, you know what, l fl on't think the hospital's making any money, and I don't think Atl ex i~ going to make any money. So when 0 create a situation where there's unfortunate remarks being made witli ideas that probably don't --aren't based on data, we've got a r mble -. fl:li · ssue we have before us is we own property, and we have an OP RO nity to put housing on it that will benefit the people who need it. Now, we've got a range based on salaries or income, but we can write this RFP any way we want. And when you talk about seniors needing housing, when you talk about veterans needing housing, and Page 142 November 13, 2018 you're saying, no, not in my backyard, I'm not getting this. COMMISSIONER FIALA: It is in our backyard. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Why wouldn't you want seniors? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Who would say that? Nobody s id that ever. I mean, seniors are a valuable component to our whole community. Why would we say no to seniors? And we have h~fs o senior housing. All of those mobile home parks, for instance, l of the big apartments along down Rattlesnake Hammock Road, n e~'re occupied by seniors. We reach out to the seniors. They're a valuable ~am: and a wonderful asset to our community because thejf e also di e volunteers of our community. Don't ever say that to me. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Butt ,en wny wouldn't you agree to affordable housing for seniors at ]\1 anatee P ark? COMMISSIONER FIALA: I'm no going to argue, excuse me. COMMISSIONER TA YLORJ : 'e can write the RFP any way we want, but we could say --w . co:trld say, let's make Manatee seniors. COMMISSIONER I~ 2;\. et me say about Manatee: First of all, we're talking about park! here, just the parks. Now, East Naples has a plethora of children, lots of children, and they come from mostly low-income famil i es , and they need a place to play because they don't have a place i , heir 13-ackward. They need a place to go, a safe place, a place that will protect them and give them a wholesome outlook on life. ~ ©uv 12aPks, which are minimal --we have three of them. We have Sug<:leu Rark, which is just great. Of course, there's no --there's a play.gJZound there. There's noplace else for the kids to play, nothing indoors or anything, but it's a wonderful park to walk around in. Then we have East Naples Community Park, and I have to say it was the tiniest park in all of Collier County, and it does have a small community center. The rest of it, we've kind of --we've welcomed the Page 143 November 13, 2018 pickleball games in there, and they've taken over the park because, let's face it, they've brought a tourism like we've never seen before in Collier County, and so we've welcomed them. Meanwhile, our Parks Department has taken what would have been two soccers fields and instead we talked together with them and we talked together with the Sports Council and everything, we',: e moved --we've moved astro turf or artificial grass over to the agle Lakes Community Park so the soccer players still have a place to go. Yeah, there's a longer way to get there, but they have a p a pe to go, because we don't want to interrupt the success of the ~1~ v eball. Okay. So we kind of lost that park, too. vhere's a community center, but that's all we have, and there's only a @ouple rooms in there. At the Eagle Lakes Community Park, e have a swimming pool, which we've never had before, and it~s ildl ~ popular. Now, we have a community center there, except there's noplace for the kids --there's very little place for the kids to do any th ing. There's no little rooms. You can't have craft classes. T h:ere'!, one big room if somebody comes in, but that's about it. And we're hoping --and we've been talking to the Parks Department about making some room so that kids can come inside and can do something. And they're working with me right now on that. But our parks are miiiimal is what I'm trying to say. And we value those because i ~ · mportant to the children and their upbringing. We tat ~ ~I AN SOLIS: I'm sorry. It was Commissioner Taylor's tim. V OMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, was it really? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yes, it was. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I'm sorry. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's all right. Page 144 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And you're next. You're after Commissioner Saunders. I'm trying to keep track of who's talking. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I'm so sorry. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But I did want to ask you a question. What if we made the RFP for seniors in Manatee Park, o ly for seniors? We can write this RFP any way we want. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, you can, but I don't Q that --I know we talk about seniors, but in our section of town, w e don't have a need for it because it seems that most of the seniors are already in housing. We've even had, you know, feeding pro gFam s, but we can't get them out to the park to use it. Maybe there are seniors that need it elsewHere. But we do have housing here, as I say, all of these things t at I just named. The seniors can go there , too. There's no restriction on age. COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: I' ut sure I know what to answer. COMMISSIONER FIAL~. 'ell, I'll tell you something else. I talked with Nick KouloheFas one , ime when he was at the podium, they want to build another R abitat Village over on Whitaker Road. And I said, it's all seniors in there. Why not build a Habitat Village -- you remember tha t, Nick? Why not build a Habitat Village just for seniors. That's , he r ight price for those that, you know, are on a budgeted income and so forth. Why don't you build it over there? And at :Fn~t time Nick said, well, we don't build housing for senior<s. Bu~ I've heard that they're thinking about doing it differently. So m ~b @ that will fill that bill. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I think you need to talk to Dr. Fafrer about the need for seniors in this community. And I think housing is a fundamental need no matter what part of this county you live in. And the idea that a needy senior would not move to Manatee flies in the face of reality. Page 145 November 13, 2018 And I would remind you that the neighbors of Manatee Park did not want baseball fields, did not want soccer fields , did not want playgrounds at Manatee Park. They're talking about a garden. So the idea that you need to have Manatee Park for children flies in the face of the demands of the neighborhood surrounding it. ~ Thank you. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Why don't you build some 1n he City of Naples? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: We have no land CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Are you finished? ~~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, I am. ~~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: A otually, Commissioner Taylor --this is not part of my comment, but -aust thought of this as you were being asked, why don't they build some affordable housing in the City of Naples, the City of Naples a ctually could provide some funds for building affordable hous fn g outside the city. COMMISSIONER i;;~~. Q>R: Or there's another area within the city that I'm working on now -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. COMMISSl©NER TAYLOR: --to build. COMMIS~IO~ER SAUNDERS: That was just kind of a random thought, becaus we could use some help. I'm going t o ramble a little bit and make a few comments that may ,.ult imate ly come together. But w e have in our one-cent sales tax a Workforce Housing Land Trost und that will be funded up to $20 million, and that's certainly going to give us some flexibility in terms of acquiring land and being able to build workforce housing where we think it best should go. I kind of envision workforce housing more as an infill than kind of a stand-alone type of a project on a big parcel like the Manatee Park Page 146 November 13, 2018 parcel. The Bembridge parcel, I think, fits that category perfectly, that it would be infill. It's in a good location. It's not going to have a negative impact on any existing neighborhoods. I also think that we have to be very careful about giving up ou park property. We may not see much of a need for that park. le may have an excess of parklands today, but I don't think that's neces $arily going to be the case 20 years from now, so I'm a little caut ious about taking park property that people have relied on as they ma9 e their decisions on where they want to live and then turning ha into housing. I also took a look at the votes from the differe t advisory boards that we have, and there was unanimity wit ~HAC and P ARAB in terms of the Bembridge property, movin g fo ard with that. But there was actually more no votes on the Man ate e property than there were positive votes. So I think it's probably go0d f(t)r us to listen to our advisory board, because their job was to t;t?Y t o 1n ' locations for workforce and affordable housing, and tli e~f re basically saying no to the Manatee site. I do have a problem w ith this 0 percent to 140 percent, and I realize that we ha:fe' a certain target, but I think we need to define what that target is. ou S(jfd --I think you may have said perhaps it should be 30 percent t 0 140 percent. At one point you said below 30 percent to 140. Tnat t1p-esn't clarify anything. So I'm going to want some clari o tnat income level. But agree with Commissioner McDaniel that we should separate t'B~ e iwo, because they're two, really, separate independent projects; take a vote on Bembridge, and then take a vote on Manatee. I would certainly concur in that. But I think that the good news is we don't have a crisis at this point. We may get to that point. So I think we have an opportunity to Page 147 November 13, 2018 kind of get our feet wet a little bit, if you will, with Bembridge, trying to do a county public/private development partnership there with up to 84 units, see how that works, get the kinks out of the system, and then start looking at other infill locations would be my recommendation. So, Mr. Chairman, I support the Bembridge site going forwar ct with the 84 units or up to 84 units. I'm not going to support th~'\~ Manatee location at this point. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. 0 COMMISSIONER FIALA: You know, what I was geing to say --but I don't want to argue or anything, so I'm going to S, ip it. Oh, yeah. I was going to tell you all the existing plaGes we have that aren't on our calculated list, but I'm not going to do that. t' s not important. I agree with you, Commissioner Sau ders. think that that's a good way to go, and I'll leave it at that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The on~ Gomments I'd like to make is I agree we need to listen to our adviso committees. That's what they're there for. But as I've sai(l i a lot of these situations in other context, you know, having d · seussion and looking into the possibilities could lead to alternatives that we didn't even think about. And just an invitation to negotiate process is that; it's looking into the possibilities. Ma~ e there's some ideas out there for the Manatee site that we hadn't t ougpt about that would make sense. Maybe it's for senior housing. aybe it's something else. I mean I ~ust --I hate not to be open-minded when we're discl}ssing these things because things change, and there may be some ideas ou:t there that, you know, might be worth looking into. So while I'm concerned about the amount of parkland as well, I don'-t want to just foreclose the ability to have a discussion with whoever would be interested in doing something on the site. And maybe there's alternatives for using the site where it's not just a straight line going north/south and this is housing and this is something else. Page 148 November 13, 2018 So, you know, ultimately, it's going to come back to us, and we're going to have to decide which one of these we would go forward with, right? I mean, we're just talking about initiating a process to have discussions with the companies or whoever showed an interest in he properties, right? ~ MR. OCHS: Correct. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So I don't want to foreclose that at this point. Ultimately we'll have to make a decision whether it' tli e right thing to do, but there's no harm in, I think, going forward c\R d at least having a discussion. And I keep saying this on a lot Qf cliff erent things that we look at. So that's where I am. And, ultimately, it could be, you know, that t e concerns about parkland outweigh the housing issues. So ei~ all I'm going to say about that, in the words of Forrest Gum . ~ V COMMISSIONER FIALA: And I 610 have a question, if I may. May I ask you, what is the name o f that thing that they're building right there on Thomasson? Sometfiin g Sabal. MR. GIBLIN: It's ~a -o tlie Sabal Bay DRI. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: Springs. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Thanks. Springs at Sabal. MR. GIBL : Springs at Sabal Bay. COMMI8SIO~ER FIALA: Okay, fine. How many units are going in there? :fhose are all rentals, right? MR. IB Jz;IN: It's on our sheet. I can look it up. ~O ]')fI SSIONER FIALA: I don't know, maybe about 400 or so, 450. ~ o I didn't mention that those are also going in there. nother thing is, on the Manatee property, I hinted at it earlier but didn't get into it at all, and that is I got a call --and I said something about the Chicago company. They want to build 800 units on that same road, Manatee Road. Now, of course, I don't know how they could ever get 800 with all of the things that are going, but they Page 149 November 13, 2018 certainly can't get 800 in this property. Would you prefer to have them build it and leave this property alone and let --I don't know that they can get 800 in there. I don't think the roads can even accommodate what's in there right now. You have to look at Norm to find out for sure. But if it could, there's 80~ homes that we could have right there on that same street along wit tlie 498 --or 493 that are going on that same street right now. YotMm ow, you have to think about that, too. I mean, you can only l s.o much into that nutshell, and you're going to explode it. -".,.,, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDanitd\~- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Mr-. Bai rman, you know, I applaud you for wanting to keep an opem mina and give consideration to alternatives that might be a~ailea to us that none of us have actually thought of. But I ask Y.OU t g1 w due consideration to the utilization of our staffs time. A:~d its --why don't we discontinue our efforts on the Manatee site for now, explore the Bembridge property, see what type of altema trves that we get back from there. And in the event --if it is, in fac~, successful and goes forward, then we can --if we have to explore the Manatee site in the future, fine, but I see no reason for us to c0ntinue to expend staffs time, or advisory committees' time on a piece of property that isn't really conducive for this type of use. COMMI SI ONER FIALA: And that they can't build on for 10 years. ~ ~O 'ISSIONER McDANIEL: That's a park. They could do th llou iag. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: That's where they said, on that property. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I have to get my glasses. MR. OCHS: Excuse me; what was that comment? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I don't have my glasses on. Page 150 November 13, 2018 MR. OCHS: No, I mean from Commissioner Fiala; that they couldn't --what couldn't? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh. On our page here it says this is not funding anticipated --oh --yeah, there is no funding anticipated to be available for any development on the Manatee Park site for 10 ~ years. ~'\~ MR. OCHS: For the park. 0 ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Park. MR. OCHS: To build the park, not that you coul n't p uild -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, I'm looking mere it says housing, so let me go read it again. If they said parl<, tin sorry. MR. OCHS: Yes, ma'am. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thai was what that was for. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDB · S : . et me make a question then a comment. Mr. Ochs, what is the under ying zoning on the Manatee Park property? MR. OCHS: I believe it's P, public use. MR. GIBLIN: Public. COMMISS, ©NER SAUNDERS: So it would have to undergo a rezone. MR. OCPIS: Correct. COM . l~SIONER SAUNDERS: I don't think you're going to have o r v , tes to rezone that property. M ~. OCHS: It doesn't appear so. OOMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So I'm not so sure that it would ma e sense to have our staff spend time working on that initiative. I'm going to make a motion to direct staff to move forward with the Bembridge project, the ITN. As part of that motion, though, I'd like something on the record as to what the income range will be that we're Page 151 November 13, 2018 looking at. If it's 30 percent to 140 percent, that's fine, but I want something definitive there as part of the motion. MR. GIBLIN: Thirty percent to 140. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thirty percent to 140 percent. So, Mr. Chairman, I'll make that motion on the Bembridge prope~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll second that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second o -tHe Bembridge property.

There we have it. MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. Before you leave that item, Mr. Coyman Page 152 November 13, 2018 just wants to refresh the Board's protocol on these invitations to negotiate. Ted, real quickly. MR. COYMAN: Commissioners, just quick. For the record for my name is Ted Coyman, Director of Procurement Services. ~ Since the Board voted to move forward with the Bembridge property, the Procurement Services Division will issue an inYit a i on to negotiate, which is very similar to an RFP. We're going to w ork closely with Mr. Giblin and Ms. Grant on what constitute a vision statement for the property; that's the county's vision 0£ n at it would like to see on that property. And I just would like to remind the commi sioners that you may be approached by interested parties . Once '\\Z e advertise it, I would encourage you to direct any inquirie ~ to m;c QL£i ce to avoid any appearance of a conflict or lobbying. ~ MR. OCHS: And that's part o our procurement ordinance. I just wanted to make sure that if ou were getting approached, that you make sure that you refer th0 s 11 r. Coyman. MR. COYMAN: Arl e anticipate having this out fairly quickly. ✓ MR. OCHS : We'll notify you when we actually advertise. Thank rA N SOLIS: Thank you for the reminder . . l~SIONER McDANIEL: Yes. RL O E HS: Mr. Chairman, I'm looking at our --kind of our ro ter o ti Pegistered speakers . I see that most of the remaining registered speakers are registered for Item 1 lB, although that wouldn't nee · ssarily be our next item in order. But if you'd like to take that item to allow the speakers to speak and move on, we can certainly do that. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, I would support that. Page 153 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I would like that, too. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: That would be a good idea, if that's the bulk of the speakers. MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. Item #1 lB RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT AN UPDATE ON HE STORM WATER UTILITY INITIATIVE AND PRO I~E DIRECTION TO THE COUNTY MANAGER TO @:IB ELOP A MODIFIED PROGRAM FOR FUTURE BOARD CONSIDERATION BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT--~oTION TO MOVE ITEM TO PRODUCTIVITY COM~I ~E ND WORK WITH STAFF TO COME BACK BY THE iS IR T MEETING IN FEBRUARY WITH 3 SPECIFIC ~ -RNATIVE SOLUTIONS AND INCLUDES FUTURE A ffiVIB RTISING -APPROVED MR. SOLIS: So item lB was an item that was continued from your October 23rd, 2018, BCC meeting, and this is a recommendation to accept an update on the stormwater utility initiative and provide direction to t e . ounjry manager to develop a modified program for future board consideration based on the recommendations that Mr. Cohen wiH outJine in the staff report. RL C 0 HEN: Good afternoon. For the record, Thaddeus Cohen, de13artment head, Growth Management. s the manager indicated, we were asked to come back after the elec· ion and have a conversation going forward on our storm water utility and the update. I'll kind of briefly take us through where we are currently. We manage stormwater for flood control, water quality, and regulatory requirements. Page 154 November 13, 2018 As was stated in our last time we've had a chance to meet, there's challenges in our system. There's no question about the issues that are faced; aging infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, lack of equity in the current funding approach, and reactive in our program rather than being proactive. ~ We have two levels of primary service. One is our system t e day-to-day management to ensure the system is running effici ently and effectively, and the other is our capital projects. So as we\~e Been talking with you, we've had these two pots of considerati ijS that we've been thinking in terms of how it is that we can take our g iding principles, being more proactive: The cost ofb ing a le to go back when systems start to collapse, and that's been an ongoing issue for us; the size of our system and how it is that w , Gan provide the resources to be able to maintain that system; and t1ae t , e fact that we're trying to get to a level of service that's more cl0se ~ aligned with the industry standards. And within that context, w a lso have our level of service, our capital side, and you'll heaF m r about that as part of the AUIR conversation. But we're basically having somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 million per year. On our capital side, we have $120 million of need that needs to be addressed, and we have a shortfall. Some of tlie things that we took from our takeaway from September, t e two meetings on the 6th and the 19th as well as in Octol',er, is low it is that we're going to move forward to be able to tai+get o v public outreach, bring in additional stakeholders. We're ta k ing in terms of having the possibility of meeting with the Productivity Committee. We've done that initially to be able to get some of their input, and then we heard from the CDDs that we need to address some of the issues that they have being special districts with how they manage their water. So that's one of the things we're here Page 155 November 13, 2018 today to be able to ask you to allow us to go forward. Other takeaways was for public schools and government buildings, how those are assessed, the accuracy of our data. As you know, we had that long tail for the driveways that we removed fro the process . We continually are starting to refresh that GIS information so that we can identify issues as we move forward Another question was, how will the money be spent? One 0 f the questions that were being asked is, are we ready to go with th e capital projects? And we've been able to show those; being ab e 0 alk in terms of some of the benefits that people have from the 1-arge lots . So, again, key takeaways is commercial p roject --excuse me -- commercial properties, how we'll be able to meef witli them and talk with them about their maintained systems; imilar with churches, whether or not we can assist those b ~cause f tne good services that they provide to the community; and , , QS l mportantly, this dedicated source of funding is not diverted to ot'To:er projects or other types of activities . The stormwater utili~ f ee would be segregated, and that would be a dedicated soure e o , nding. So what we want to b able to do is --again, as we speak before you today, is to be able t 0 take that recommendation for the things that we learned from ~ere we are today, be able to continue our community outreacli be able to talk in terms of reducing the tier system, as we' ~ indicated, make it a little bit more simple, add more clarity to w fi at it is that we're doing, be able to get input from our stak~l1 olner ., and then be able to come back to you in February with a re c emmendation on how to proceed. hat ends our presentation. That's where we were at the last -- just prior to the election. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioners, do we hear from speakers first , or do you want to ask questions of staff? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I think I'd like to, perhaps, Page 156 November 13, 2018 kind of --first of all, are there any speakers that are in support of moving forward with this storm water utility? Are all the speakers here in opposition to it? Mr. Chairman, I think that we might be able to shorten this discussion a little bit. You know, I've kind of gone full circle. I'm~ number three on the list here, so I can shut up and wait for my tum . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Well, actually --well, the question as, do we want to hear from the public speakers prior to commi siQner comments? Because you're actually second. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I was suggestin -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala :was first. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I was su gesting, depending on the consensus of the board, we may not eed to hear from the speakers if they're all here in oppositio IQ fllis. That's why I said we might be able to --~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: l h we just a couple simple questions. Do you have a targeted amount of dollars you must receive every year or not? MR. COHEN: Yes. ~urrently we're around $15 million to be -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Now, what are you hoping to derive out of this? MR. (t }jI EN: Somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million. ~O 'ISSIONER FIALA: Oh, okay. So then that's what you're hoping 0 , get out of this. Can you derive that --I mean, do you have to lia~e tn at amount, or could you start off with what we began months ago, which was a really simplified method of going about this and say everybody just donate --for all homeowners, it's $120 a year, period? Now, and businesses, you have to figure out a fair figure for them. Can that be -- Page 157 November 13, 2018 MR. COHEN: And the answer to that is yes. And part of, I think, what we're asking for is the ability to have that conversation to do exactly -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, that's good, because it's so confusing in here. Again, I thought, if you just make it simple and ay it's $120 for all single-family homes and it's $200 for all busines~ s and, you know --or whatever it would be, I don't know. I'm jus throwing things out. Make it easy. MR. COHEN: What we're looking for is the abili~-with your approval, is to have that conversation. So it's to be ab e to go out to the commercial properties, see what it is that they ave, and as you've indicated, be able to come up with a number that 's reasonable that gets us to being able to meet the industry standarcl s and to be able to handle the capital projections we have at th~ same ti me. So we're not sure exactly whet tbat umber is, but I think allowing us to go forward and having tliat conversation, we'll be able to get you to that number. COMMISSIONER I~ 2;\. Then the thing that confuses me -- don't forgot, I'm easily con , sed, okay. But here they have the credits for things --first of all, that's confusing to people. If you have so many --so much land, ili en you get a credit, and so much you didn't, and I think it's mor impo ant for us as a county to make it simple. Straight to the point. MR. fi:QJ~EN: And we've heard you, and that's part of what we're worki g on eurrently is what you've just talked about, which is si 13 ification. So I think part of what you would see when we come back in February is a system that is still fair, that is simplified, and that is easier to understand. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Was it explained here? Because I wasn't -- Page 158 November 13, 2018 MR. COHEN: It's not explained here because of where we left was where we are currently. What we're asking is to be able to go forward so that we can develop exactly what you're talking about. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. Now, Commissioner Saunders? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. I agree with ~ Commissioner Fiala that we need to keep this simple. And i S€ems to me --and I've kind of gone full circle. I had this conversatiQ with Mr. Ochs Friday that I was supportive of moving this forwar t0 have the conversation, but I think I've done a 180 on that. And I ate to do that to staff because I've not had an opportunity, bu j ust ltind of came to this conclusion sitting here today. The citizens of Collier County voted t<f:) leyy a one-cent increase in the sales tax. That's going to generate $41(1 million --or $60 million a year for the county for needed pr0j el3 s. Now we're looking at, well, let's see if we can just charge single-family homes a certain amount and charge businesses a certain am @unt but don't charge these people because of the good work th e do. That is just way too confusing. It seems to me that tll i s should be funded in our valorem taxes. What levy of ad valorern taxes would it take to generate $15 million a year, just estimat€9 MR. OC , S: Gttarter mill. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yeah, .25, Commissioner Saunders.~ ~O 'ISSIONER SAUNDERS: .25. And I'm not suggesting that we 9 ave a .25 millage rate for storm water to generate that 15 millio , but we need to generate a certain amount of money to do maintenance and keep ahead of the game. I don't know that it needs to be $15 million a year. But I think my view is, it's much more simple if we just put this in our ad valorem taxes at this point and not try to figure out some sort of a stormwater utility, because there are going to Page 159 November 13, 2018 be people that are going to --you're going to have CDDs that are going to be unhappy about --no matter what you do. Charging our residents another $120 a year when they've agreed to pay the one-cent sales tax, I think, is a mistake. And so my view is, let's shelve the stormwater utility. Let's talk in terms of using ad valorem taxes for storm water since we hav,e tfl e sales tax revenue coming in. That's why I said, maybe if therets . consensus, we don't need to hear half a dozen people say Hat they don't want us to move forward if there's a consensus n t to move forward right now. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McE)anie 1. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm num16 er three or four. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: You're --C,,_ COMMISSIONER FIALA: U1,1 n *t~ COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: l'111 off the list. Yes. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sure. COMMISSIONER McDNNII L: To say it quite simply, I am not think management of the funds that are requisite for what we nave going on need to be managed in a different manner. And I am not in favor of --so deferring it for another year or c©ntinuing it on for a further discussion of an inclusion in the current a val())rem or an increase in ad valorem are all getting to where I ultimately would prefer to see us go. I cone , with both of you in that the complexity with this current utili ~ is lu icrous. And I've followed it. I've watched it. I've tried to unde sand it. And it's --it goes around --without any deference to our staff or the consultant. I mean, they've worked extremely diligently to dev lop this, to come up with this, to make it as fair of an initiative as is possible, but the complexity is just --it's just far too much. I mean, there are alternatives if, in fact, you folks believe that a utility is the path --that a fee is the path that needs to be traveled, there Page 160 November 13, 2018 are alternatives to satisfy this. But the current --this current system is just far too complex. MR. OCHS: And we acknowledge that, sir. That's what we're asking the opportunity to simplify. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Simplify. ~ MR. COHEN: And one of the things, if I may, is to proviel ~ you-all with options. ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Can I ask a ques t ii I1 eo, Mr. Ochs. ~~ MR. OCHS: Sure. '~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Why h . en't ~ou just done that? It's been --it's been mentioned to you, to s fbr months and months and months that this system that's breen 1:fr ought forward is -- UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Gat ag €. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L : W ell, I'm not going to say that out loud on TV. So why are you askin g permission to do something that just makes sense? MR. COHEN: Well, tJ e oause that's where we are. After our last meeting --what we heard a ft er that presentation that we gave the last time was simplification, being able to talk to the Productivity Committee. We ~ere given directions to be able to move forward but to come back o ou t o be able to outline what our steps would be. So here's here we are. So we're saying, if you let us do this, then what w w ould do is take a look at ad valorem, take a look at the fee, because we're trying to see if there's an opportunity to provide a mi~ o funding mechanisms to be able to have a dedicated source. We un er tand your concerns of how we could manage this slightly better. The question, are we ready to go with our projects? How can we be able to ensure that we have some level of stewardship of those dollars? Being able to move through this process , we can identify that simplification, eliminating the credits, having meetings with the CDDs. Page 161 November 13, 2018 So you asked us to come back before you with what our game plan would be. We're showing you that game plan, and we're providing you with those timelines. So that's the reason why we haven't shown you a document at this point that says here's how we're going to address the issues that you have. We had to come back ano ask you to allow us to go forward and do that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You brought up a goo tl point. And I forgot to mention this. I am the liaison for the Prod ~t hv ity Committee, and they formally asked me to ask you, the B ard, to give direction to our staff to allow them to be the public li is @ . We don't have to appoint a new advisory committee or an~th1 n . They would explore these alternatives with our staff and bring it back to us. That was a month or so ago --c', __ MR. COHEN: Correct. • 'JO COMMISSIONER McDANI~L : --that they asked that. And I have it in my notes, but I for got ab mu it. Thank you. MR. COHEN: We try to h'.elP,, COMMISSIONER McD N IEL: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Commissioner Taylor. COMMISSIONER Tl{ LOR: It is my tum. So I think, perhaps --February is what? December, January, February. So w e've g ot five meetings, maybe five meetings, right? One in DecemB~r two in January, two in February. So, really, four meetings, anitl then we either put this to bed or bring it forward. But mayb€ we j st need to go back and see if we can make it right. And m ayb€ w e can't. But let's give it a shot, I think. nd, yes, it's staff time but, frankly, staff are the ones who are taking the calls for people that are flooding and have had tremendous damage in their homes, and it's not just in my district. In Logan they've had terrible trouble. Up in, I think, Chairman Solis' district, they've had a lot of flooding. Flooding everywhere. Page 162 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: If I may, if you're looking at me when you're saying that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I am. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: This is very similar to the housing initiative. The discussing is not about need. It's about th~ prioritization of the expenditures. I have a simple question. ~~ much money did our Tax Collector hand us today? O that? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Eight million dollars. ,t, MR. OCHS: Eight million. ~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: What are we goin g to do with MR. OCHS: Whatever you want to do witli i ·. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Spend.t on the stormwater. MR. OCHS: It's part of budgeted-- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Sir, I thi~ ~ou've signed up, so please, you're not by the microphone. COMMISSIONER McD NNII L: And, Commissioner Taylor, those are the discussions that I w ould like to have as far as what the prioritizations of what we 61 0 with the available funds that we, in fact, have. ✓ It's a discuss ion point that should be addressed. Last year the Tax Collector hande us ~check for close to $6.2 million, similar time frame. Those ar e discussions that I would like to have as alternative sources to s Pi 0rt this need. e argument isn't the need. You've --you well established that ba@~ in ebruary when those folks came forward and showed those tRings. The discussion --it's not an argument. The discussion needs to be ow we support the need, and that's --and there are many alternatives to support that need that don't require raising taxes. MR. OCHS: Commissioner, I just need to clarify. All of the turnback revenue that comes annually from the constitutional officers Page 163 November 13, 2018 is part of your budget. It's budgeted revenue. It's not found money. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It's not found money. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sounds found to me. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thanks for the clarificatio MR. OCHS: You're welcome. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala, you put your ,battoti on, but I haven't --everybody's gone, and I'd like to say a fe · things -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sure. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --because I think it's impol:taf\,t to --in my own internal deliberation on this thing, is to go back1 t0. where we started. Prior boards, prior to this board, other than, I think, Commissioner Fiala, came to the conclusion tha crea ing a stormwater utility was something that was really impo ,. ant. Was that an overstatement? Right? I mean, this is s0metHing that's been discussed by numerous commissions that's o ~;v it al importance to the community. Not having a functioning well ~ intained system, in my view, is not an option. It's just --you knQW, we were lucky with the hurricane that we didn't have the kind o · Il©oding that was anticipated. So, you know, we hav~ to do something. Whether it's a fee or an ad valorem increase, I ean, it's an increase. I mean, I'm not sure how --one or the othe~ But I think that, again, letting the staff go forward and do an analy 1s, i may be that it's not as simple and it can't be as simple and we end up with an ad valorem, you know. I hope not, but -- because I don't think that's the fairest way of doing this, and that's what has been re .ommended to us. So, again, we told the staff to come back to us. If they were to get pe ission to go forward and try to make this simple, address the con · ems that came out of the last set of hearings in the marathon hearing and further discussion with the community -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: When you were in a bar. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right --I was not in a bar. I was not in Page 164 November 13, 2018 Ireland, and I was not in a bar. I just want to clarify that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'm teasing. He wasn't. He was really sick. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I wish I would have been in a bar. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Pretty funny. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: But, again, I just thing we've aske staff to do their job. We need to let them do it. Ultimately, tli e policy decision's going to be up to us. But, again, we can be for closing a discussion that may lead to something that is meaning ap d will work for everybody. And I just --I'm not in favor of preclucling that. So that's all I'm going to say about that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Another orrest Gump. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. Com :,ssioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I love the iaea about the Productivity Committee, and maybe staff can wo le willi the Productivity Committee. Sometimes studies --stu ies leave questions in your mind as to how the figures were deri ed. So maybe working with the Productivity Committee and tiler working with staff as they're putting this together --and then w en --as they're working and deliberating, then it's open to the public, so the public can also participate. You get that all taken car€ of, and then you bring your final conclusions to us, you know, blessed o r--the Productivity Committee, and maybe we can move forward titen. And I would just like to add that if the pleasure 0f the Board is that the Productivity Committee be assigned t'fiis , e need to do that. Because the way the productivity ordinance reads is that they're going to review departments and things as directed by the Commission. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That's correct. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: So I think if that's the pleasure of the Page 165 November 13, 2018 Board, I'm --I'm not so sure that that's the right place for this to be, but if that's the pleasure of the Board, I think we need a motion to officially direct them to do that as opposed to --and we need to frame what they're supposed to be doing clearly. COMMISSIONER FIALA: As soon as we hear from the ~ speakers. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, just one ast comment. Life is like a box of chocolates; you never kno ~ w at you're going to get. Unfortunately in Collier County, I' af-r aid people are getting tax increases in their chocolates. And we did the tourist tax, we did the sales tax, and I --quite frankly, I was pleasantly --not surprised, but vezy p eased that that passed. And we have not gone back to the r0 led-back millage rate for the two years that I've voted on the budget. W.e 've stayed at the same millage rate. So that's a tax increase ~ I think it's time now for us to mo look for a new revenue source for this type of a project. We need t o do more for stormwater, there's no question about it, but I th:i , ~h at's a matter of prioritizing the revenues that we're getting. And so that's why I'm opposed to moving forward. I have no problem with the Rroductivity Committee taking a look at stormwater and how to so e ou stormwater issues from a financial standpoint, but in terms of o I want to move forward with a stormwater fee? I do not. Even if. tfl;€' productivity came back and said --committee came back~, n <il said, let's go forward with the stormwater fee, I probably w0lll d opp ose it at this point because I think there's some --you know, Hate to say it, but I think our citizens are starting to get a little fatigued with tax increases, and this is just another tax increase. And if we want to find a way to fairly fund stormwater without getting into this church did good things, we're not going to assess government buildings, you know, all of those types of issues, they just Page 166 November 13, 2018 all go away if we just pre --prioritize some of our tax revenues. That way everybody's paying their fair share, because that's the way our tax system is set up. So I'm opposed to moving forward with the stormwater utility at this time. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I have a question. Have we --~ because we've had some tough times with hurricanes and helpi g o r neighbors out as well, hurricanes and so forth. Have we had to cannibalize the storm water fee to a point where if we didn' do that anymore it would give us a sufficient amount of incom~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Absolutely. MR. OCHS: Yes. Ma'am, there's never been a tormwater fee, first of all. You've funded your storm water program out of your ad valorem revenues. We had a target for up t rJ 15 equivalent millage to try to fund our program --• COMMISSIONER FIALA: 'Ti hat's . at I meant by the fee. I'm sorry. MR. OCHS: --but when we got into the recession, and since then, we haven't raised --w e h aY.en't allocated that kind of revenue against the program. So tli at's been the problem. COMMISSIONER TX. LOR: And I would remind everyone that during the re G€ssion --and I wasn't here but, Commissioner Fiala, you were --w. edu9ed the ad valorem. We didn't raise it. COMMI SIONER FIALA: We kept the same millage rate, right? ~ ~O 'ISSIONER TAYLOR: No, it dropped. We rolled it back one ~~at. One year we did. OOMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, I see. I've forgotten that. I thought we just kept the same millage rate forever, for at least many, many years. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: In 2010, I believe it was. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, well --okay. Eight years ago. Page 167 November 13, 2018 So about that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel, did we want to hear from the public speakers, or do you want to go ahead and make your comments? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: No, I'll be happy to hear from the public speakers. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Assuming they still want to speaf . COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Or I can make a rnotio want me to. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: You've been her~ H day. MR. HOOLEY: I'd like to speak. MR. MILLER: I'll be ready to run througli his hst. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. Hooley wants to speak. MR. MILLER: Ron Albeit. I don't tlii nK all of these people are ~ going to be here. Rae Ann Burton? COMMISSIONER McD NNII L: She's gone. MR. MILLER: Garrett Berrent is here. He'll be followed by James Lamboy. James Lamboy. MR. LAMBOY: ere. MR. MILLRR: So you'll be our second speaker. If you could wait at this poclium. MR. BE RENT: Okay. For the record, I'm Garrett Beyrent. And tti yoblem I have is that I'm wondering where these initi£\fves c me from. It's like staff brings up a proposal and says, I w el like you-all to approve the vacation of this easement across the micldl€ of my property. Wow. Well, nobody bothered to tell the property owner, and it's a headache for me. Just like the initiative, where is South Florida Water Management in this? The initiative that you're proposing that I know nobody wants anyway, but is it even legal? I mean, is it --we've got this nightmare, Page 168 November 13, 2018 all this green algae growing in canals because we have way too many nutrients in water because the water's not flowing out into the Gulf of Mexico the way it used to because we've got too many golf courses, 93 golf courses. And I question the whole idea of funding a source that I don't even know if it's legal or n_ot. ~ So I thought maybe you might want to suggest that Jeff Klatz 0w looks into the legality of this whole initiative and water mana:gement in general related to the guidelines of South Florida Water Management and what the responsibility of the state is. That's just m~ op inion. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And I'll just point@ t tnat --and this is an interesting point, because this kept coming up in the irst discussion, that this was something that, essentially, t e County Commission is inventing. This is a statutory provision. 1 ea , the legislature set up stormwater utilities. 'X.. ~ MR. BEYRENT: Right. .~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: W &r e n ot thinking this up. MR. BEYRENT: See, m Uii nking -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS. This was created by the legislature. MR. BEYRENT: 'm wondering, every time I tum around it's like , hey , the sta:Cf suggested that we should study this, and it come back and all oii-a suaJt en I'm looking at a project next to me that's denying me ac ~ s by cutting out a 200-f oot stretch of a road easement that gives INF project direct access to Santa Barbara Boulevard. And this )yi n of stuff is, like, coming up in front of you, and I'm just w0na:€ri a g where this came from. All these consent-agenda items and items that pop up that are suggestions, all of a sudden they're, like, law ·. And I'm looking at a piece of property I don't have access to anymore , like a tower site I'm working on. And it's kind of like I'm wondering where the legality at is relative to surface water Page 169 November 13, 2018 management in general. And this stems all the way back to my first lawsuit when I sold the Lakewood division to U.S. Homes where they came back and sued me because I was developing the Glades, and they wondered, where's the water going? Is it going to be backed up al the way to 951 from the Haldeman River? And that's actually what happened. We had to put weirs ~ everywhere, and the whole water management issue went so uth, and it sounds like the same repeat of what I went through back ia l 9JJ 4 when the sewage was backing up in Lakewood Boulevard be-Gau~e they had water issues. It's kind of like, who's in charge of this 12rogram? You know. And I'd like you to just --my suggestion w a s ju s ask the County Attorney whether or not it is the responsib1liw of the county to even be involved in this when you have South F kn~i a: W ater Management. Thank you. ~ MR. MILLER: Your next si:2 eaK€t 1s James Lamboy. He'll be followed by Tommy Turner. MR. LAMBOY: Goed g ernoon. Commissioner Saunder s and McDaniel had brought up a couple of interesting points, and I t ink I'll get back to them in a moment. But I think w at you have here is --when Commissioner Saunders me ti one a, should we be going forward, are people opposed, I think the nee cl is very important, and I don't think there's a --I think a lot of then g ativity that's occurred so far has been about the design of the s~stem an d what's been presented up to this point. An awkward staft: a s certainly that letter in August. But that being said, I don't think there's quite as much of an issue abo t the need for this. And, again, you all seem to be in that same vein. But you have opposing issues here. I hear one commissioner saying they want it simple, and then there's a --if you're going to go Page 170 November 13, 2018 with the idea of a utility, it needs to be fair and equitable. So if you want simple, perhaps it should be done in the ad valorem taxes or in some other fashion. If you want something that is more responsive and looks at the total system, then you need the utility. . . . . ~ Now, Comm1ss1oner Saunders again mentioned there's a cei't a n level of fatigue. Layering taxes might not be quite as appealing t o a number of the constituents out there. So, again, I think it's --there's a need. I don't thiootli~re's a -- there's not going to be a vast argument about that, hut f OU do need to -- you know, if you want simplicity, perhaps adv lorem taxes is what you should be looking at, and that's the guidance ou should be giving to the staff. Q If you want a fairer system that1 eall~ n~sFJonds to what's going on out in the community and the coun~, therr you need a little bit more elaborate and perhaps confusing sy · tem. Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your: ne -t speaker is Tommy Turner. He'll be followed by John Hooley. MR. TURNER: For tne record, I am Tommy Turner. I'm from Naples, been her a 1 my life, born and raised here; been here about 60-some year ("' My thing · s t ey're talking about storm water. What are we --what stormwater~ ~e we talking about when the tropical storm comes by? The h rri ca111e comes by? The natural water fall that we get on a re , ttl r nnual basis for rainfall? aples and Collier County has been able to handle annual rainfall. And I don't care where you go at in Collier County, when we get bad storms, there's areas that congregate massive amounts of water. Good example of it, I was born in the '50s, growed up down on 10th Street. That section of the road still floods today. The city's Page 171 November 13, 2018 collected tax money ever since they've encrypted (sic) that. They have never been able to handle it. They have alleviated it some. Still going to have flooding down on Central A venue. You're going to have flooding on Gulf Shore. You're going to have flooding down in Gordon D~ve. . . . ~ The city still collected that money and still haven't allev1ate a a ·y of the stormwater; if that's what you want to call stormwater. on't know what we're classifying stormwater as. Are we talking ab,out when the hurricane comes by and we get a massive amot:1.nt of water? And until the Gulf of Mexico recedes and goes down fi~e-and-a-half feet, it won't take and pull the water out. If the title's i li --that's why they talk about storm surge; it's because whenev;er he ocean and the Gulf of Mexico is up high and the wind comes in and we've got a driving northeast wind, it will blow five tQ s1 K 0r seven or eight feet of water up on onto Collier County, all tBe w ay to Immokalee if possible. I don't know that cleaning out an 1'8-inch culvert's going to help in Golden Gate City, because th€re only a few places the water can travel, and it's all got to g0 we -t ©r south. And the only other thing you can do is lift up all the roaa s, take and make a throughfare with canals all the way to the Gulf o t' Mexico starting with Pine Ridge Road, go down to Vanderbilt Beach Road, take Golden Gate Parkway, and then just come on g to ly avis, and then run 951 on into the Gulf of Mexico and just put all the roads up above it and just make that thoroughfare canals, becausy at's the only way you're going to alleviate all the watev. R t's going to be contained in Collier County at one time. ~n ~we get hurricanes, and we get storms, and I've seen them over tli e years. I've seen bad storms in the summertime. I've seen some northwesters come in and flood the Moorings. Back in the '6Os, we'd get that. Then they'd run out and get some rocks and put them around Doctors Pass and try to keep the water from going back in there, and then the city would take all the equipment, run it in salt Page 172 November 13, 2018 water, and then we'd need new equipment about two, three years later because the salt ate it up. So I don't know if we're talking about massive amounts of stormwater or if it's regular maintenance that the county is talking about needing to do with our storm drainage ditches or what it is. B1lt I'd like a clarification on what we're talking about stormwater. ~ Because if you're talking about coming from a hurricane eu a storm or an out-of-the-moment storm that comes out of the Gulf of Mexico and pushes a lot of rain on us, I don't know that nyr e's anything the county can do with that. And I don't lrno w How much money we need to maintain what we've got, bu I know that a lot of the citizens aren't in for any more tax money. They1re not in for getting another bill from the county for anything a t er tn an regular maintenance. No different than they:ve on with the -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank ~ou MR. TURNER: --garbage. r m orry I went over my time. MR. MILLER: Your next s12eaker is John Hooley. He'll be followed by Martha McKe-€. MR. HOOLEY: I've got an additional three minutes that's been ceded to me by Ms. Alderuccio. So before you start the thing -- MR. MILLRR: I just --she did not indicate that on her slip, but I do have your sli~. ~e1 u'll cede your time? MS. ALD , UCCIO: Yes. MR. MU~J{ER: Thank you. You are ready to go. l l L t>OLEY: Well, you know, I was here last October, and it just see m£ like yesterday where you kept me here late, but I'm going to go QV@r the same stuff, okay? Now, my commissioner is Burt Saunders, and he's right. This should be --you're my commissioner? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: You just can't vote for me. MR. HOOLEY: I can't vote for you. Okay, fine. Page 173 November 13, 2018 So here's the deal , okay. We pay our taxes for seven basic things: Those are law enforcement, fire protection, health services, traffic operations, building and zoning, courts and recording, and stormwater management. This is why I pay my taxes. This is why everybodY. pays their taxes . And now you're going to tell me that you're goin give me a utility called stormwater. I don't care what Commissioner Solis says about it being mandated. Everybody in the room knows that you're calling i a utility to make people think that it's, you know, fair, but it's n ot faj r . But I'm not going into the --I've got a --I sent a e!!ort. But if you'll look over there on the screen, you're going to S€e that the Stantec report gave you what was allocated for stormwa er management. So you can see that in 2008 and '9 , you were u to $13 million, okay. So as Ms. Taylor said, we had to clift o ae~ in 2010 , and you did. You cut back to about 10 million. B u in e last --since 2011, so for the last seven years, you have cut i in half. You've got six million. You've taken seven million eve y:ear out of stormwater management. Now, I've got no idea w& ~ou did that, but it seems to me that you should be able to get it ack up to the 2008 level without any change in anything. So hat's my initial irritation. So then we' talking about crisis. Yes, it is a crisis. Stormwater's a crisis. You ow why it's a crisis? Because the county has ceased to fund it. And w fi en I looked at the Stantec report, I just went nuts, so I had to sit n €te ~nd talk to you guys. ,So , en#s the deal. If you look at the next page, you're going to se © UQ at the top in the '16/'17 budget, you guys had put in $926 ,000 f o m , intenance, and six million, almost seven million for capital proj-ects. Well, guess what? In 2017, you took everything but $42,000 out of stormwater maintenance. I've seen the pictures up there. You've got to clean those things out, right? What have you got for 42,000? Two guys with shovels and Page 174 November 13, 2018 a pickup truck. Really? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: One guy. MR. HOOLEY: One guy. One guy. So, you know, I know what's going to happen. You know, in 2019, we're going to have a storm, and the roads are going to be flooded, and that's really wha~ you're trying to do. You're trying to take care of the flooding o IQ nei roads, and that's why --how it's historically been held. But tnen ~ou're going to say, oh, my God, look at how bad stormwater is. ~eah, stormwater's bad because the county has not funded it. t a crisis that's been manufactured in order to get us to pay a utili~ bill that we shouldn't have to pay because it's your job to take care of that stuff for us, and I don't think you're doing it. Okay. So let's go take a look at the other thi g before we go back. What's my last one there? If you think that's n ad enough, I've got the second to the last page, stormwate:v lSlperat ions for next year. Do you remember that $42,000? It goes down · o $10,200. And if it didn't get one guy with a pickup last year, l 'v~ got no idea what type of maintenance you're going tQ do for $10,200, really. It's amazing. Oh, and you've got 20,0 0 for capital budgets. It goes up from 6,000, but you've got to eahze that that 20,000 is based on the county's projected incom 1§ om your utility charges to us. I'm really unhappy about that. And I know hat the CDD --the districts are going to sue you. The distric ab €' going to sue you because they've already charged every o x t 0' maintain the stormwater on site. I live in one. We have preseiw e areas that keep the water there. We have swales. We have la €S. We don't want to pay for it twice. And since we're charged with maintaining it as well --you know, Burt Saunders is right, this needs to be in your regular ad valorem assessments. Don't try to come back and tell us you're doing me a favor by taking care of the stormwater when Hurricane Irma comes down. I'm Page 175 November 13, 2018 going to tell you that it's really your job. It's really the county's responsibility to take care of that. And don't send me a bill at the end of the month. Thanks. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Could you give us a copy of tlu~ ~~ ~ MR. HOOLEY: I have emailed one to everybody, but r0 ught extras just in case. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, good. MR. MITCHELL: Your next speaker is Martha ffle ee. She will be followed by Steve Gafford. MS. McKEE: Good afternoon. The first thing I think I have to say is I pride myself on being a pretty pation Rerson, but I've got to give it to you guys. This is an ultimate te !ii't 0:f l)atience today. And I am pretty much going t 0 s ~ in a much simpler form what the gentleman just said. But we assu ed when you said you were tabling it for a year that there as g0 ing to be a year not, like, a month until somebody came bac itfuanother plan. So, yes, public input i s important, and this is, I guess, the time for it. Here's my public ing11t. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. And your consti ents who are middle-income people and on fixed incomes are the turn ip. Stop. I agree with Mr. Saunders and Mr. McDaniel, please, make a motion ana t~ole this. Get rid of it now. Instead of forcing us to brea , o r b dgets, why don't you adjust yours, which is really our m ne~, but adjust yours. ow, I'm quoting from Brent Batten today. I hope he's not misquoting our County Manager, but the exact quote is, "Property taxes don't deliver enough money for storm management." And I'm saying, it's your job to make sure that they do if you prioritize differently. Page 176 November 13, 2018 Thank you. MR. MILLER: Your next speaker is Steve Gafford. He will be followed by Dawn Smith. (No response.) MR. MILLER: Mr. Gafford? ~ (No response.) ~ '\ ~ MR. MILLER: Dawn Smith? ~ (No response.) ,rO MR. MILLER: Michael Ramsey? ~ ~ (No response.) , ~ MR. MILLER: I don't think --I don't believ e these people are present, sir. Oh, wait. Michael Ramsey. There fi e 1s. MR. RAMSEY: Oh. Q COMMISSIONER FIALA: He al a s w alks in the room like As usual, this is a ve~ · nteresting topic. And, again, we'll come back --and the conversat ion today has been interesting. I do believe, as Commissione ~iala said, let's keep it simple , and I think the other recommendaf o is t.9"table it and look at it. So I'm not going to say much more than that about it. The recommen ati on from Commissioner McDaniel, I think, we should follo ,. tfuough on that. Thanks. M R:. MILLER: And that is all of our public speakers registered this item. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Mr. McDaniel. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes, yes, yes. Well, I'd like to --I've been making some notes here , and I was listening to our public speakers. The discussion, the argument --are Page 177 November 13, 2018 you okay, Mr. Chair? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I just realized that we're way over for another break for the court reporter. But go ahead. I was getting a signal from her. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, let's take a break, an then I'll give my comments, and then I'll be better prepared to '\ ~ elaborate. That's a big word. Did you get that all written do n ~ Are you ready? Okay. Well, I'm going to make a motion after I'm do , e spewing. So the bottom line is the discussion here, the i gu ent here is not the need. The need, as I said earlier, was establishe ct l:>ack in the spring. You with me, Commissioner Taylor, or wH ere you going? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I hav~ a uestion here of staff. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: ~~aJi . CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Go ah@ad. ~ ~ COMMISSIONER McDANI :C: I am going to go ahead. The need has been created ~y , ur predecessors in the budgetary expenditures of the then available funds that Collier County has had available to expend. One (}f the public speakers shared about the cannibalism of the sto , wa er funds. You asked about that. You were yaFt icipatory in that by receiving direction from those that had the av ai ·abl ~ · nf ormation in making determinations as to where the 12rio "ties of the community's expenditures were. The need has been ere t~d. The deficits in the capital and maintenance program have bi e~n c eated by the decision makers that preceded us as a County Coii~"''+ission. The need's not the argument. The discussion needs to be no is to satisfy the need. ow, with regard to that, to coin Commissioner Solis' phrase, in an effort to not foreclose any alternative that might be availed to us, I'd like to make a motion that we move this item to the Productivity Committee to come back to us by our first meeting in January, which I Page 178 November 13, 2018 think is --I know we only have two meetings, but by our first meeting in January, and come back to us with three specific satisfactory --or satisfactions to this need that is --that is existent within our community. Is that specific enough of a motion, Commissioner Solis, to --COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think it is, although I think the st a ff has to be involved in that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, yes, of c 1trs~ I mean, in an effort to not foreclose the issue , move and direct staFh o engage with the Productivity Committee and bring bac~ tl1ie ~ alternatives to satisfy this need by our first meeting in January. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second tllat motion. MR. OCHS: Sir. • ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a m otion and a second. So now there's discussion. COMMISSIONER SAUN,._,___,__~R S: You want them to come back with three alternatives. Th e a ~e,n da item was to develop a modified program for the future. So ~our motion does not involve developing a modified program, I do 't believe, but you're asking them to come back with three alternatives, and -- COMMI83.I OJ'j ER McDANIEL: And I would like to -- COMMI SIONER SAUNDERS: I'm not sure you can invent three altem . tiv.e s if you leave out the stormwater utility. What other three alternatives can you come up with? We're asking the P @tluctt vity Committee to do something that I'm not so sure is possiljle. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, we'll find out if they do it. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. And I was just going to say, I mean, I don't know that you want to necessarily have that discussion right now. I mean, we can talk about --I mean, I concur Page 179 November 13, 2018 with you in that I think it's high time for us to be adjusting our spending habits. I think it's high time for that. But in an effort to work with Commissioner Solis and not foreclose an alternative for this real live need, that the Productivity Committee is a palatable path for us to travel to find --come up with an alternative other than what's bee~ suggested so far with this utility. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So just so I understancr the motion, because we're getting ready to vote on this, and I i\V anl to make sure I understand what I'm voting on, this motion does net include directing the Productivity Committee to come back ~"th n alternative that may include a modified stormwater utility? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It could. oidn't specify what three alternatives they brought forward. It eould be a modified utility. It could be a flat fee structure. It could be a adjustment to the current ad valorem expenditures on how we'r managing those. COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S': And, Mr. Chairman, just for the record, I'm going to vote against the motion because I don't really fully understand it, but I -o khow, the issue here is whether or not we want to develop a mod1 t'i ed stormwater utility program, and I think we need to put an end to that conversation. This does not do that, so I'm going to vote against the motion. CHAIRM~ S0 LIS: Okay. I believe the County Manager would like to make a comment. MR. 0)(2:~S: Just two things, sir. I wanted to clarify for the recoi;d, that f our 2019 budget, current year, contains $8.1 million for youF sto~water management program. About 3 million of that is a replacement capital, a repair of failing capital for the storm water system, and the balance is for ongoing maintenance. So this notion that there's $10,000 in the budget for stormwater is incorrect. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And, again -- MR. HOOLEY: Bullshit. Page 180 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And, again, I wasn't making my suggestions based upon public comments, sir. I have been looking at these numbers. I've been looking at the budgeted amount that we do, in fact, appropriate out of our current ad valorem and the syste that we have in place . So I was the one that suggested in September at the budgei ~ hearing that we continue this for 12 months, and as an explarrati0n, the 12-month continuance doesn't mean we set it aside and d0 't work on it for 12 months. In order for staff to be able to have this in -· if, in fact, a utility does become our decision, this has to be pa~o t the budget initiatives that come to us from staff in March, an then we vote in April, and then we have our budget workshops in May, and then we actually set our ad valorem rate along wit t e fee structures in the first meeting --only meeting in July. • So this is --this is a part of the system that is currently in place for us to be working on this. So just to reiterate the actual system that's going on here, just because we deferred it in September for 12 months doesn't mean we don't have tHis ~onversation. I do concur with you, C ommissioner Saunders, that --and for those that have read the Naples Daily News, I'm the one that spelled the word "fee" t-a x back when they started talking about this back in March and A Rnl. So I'm not --I don't want to foreclose an idea that might be out there that w , ~ven't yet explored. It might be that we end up not takin anx of the suggestions that come from the Productivity Comm1 t@e. My suggestion is to let them engage with --or staff engage with them and come back to us with three specific alternatives or methods to support the need. I think we all agree there is no argument about the need. The need's real. So supporting that is the path that I'm looking to go to, so ... Page 181 November 13, 2018 MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, my only other point was on the motion, would it be possible to do that in the first meeting in February instead of the first meeting in January? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm fine with that. MR. OCHS: Given the holidays --~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I picked January just to - MR. OCHS: --and getting some of these committees tog€fher may be a little difficult to have it by the first. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm totally fine wit,,-that. I think that certainly gives us time to review, ascertaiu, and then have it in March for the -- MR. OCHS: And that will be in advance o your budget guidance, so you'll have that all in advanc 0 that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: o €c . February's fine. MR. OCHS: Thank you, sir. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDE S': And, Mr. Chairman, I'll support the motion, but I'm just o ing on record that if that recommendation is to come ba:cw with a stormwater utility similar to anything that we've talked a ut, I'm not going to vote to do that. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: nderstood. So on the Board --okay. MR. OCHS : Forgive me. Again, part of the presentation last month when we ro11ght this forward was --included the authorization to place that legal ad to preserve your option to initiate a fee next fall. So we wou[a stril like to go forward with that to preserve that option. It's n.,0t a re Qtt irement. It's an option for the Board. ~6lMMISSIONER McDANIEL: It's a requirement that we do tR legal advertisement to be able to do it should we choose to initiative the utility. MR. OCHS: That's exactly correct. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: So it's a requisite that we do that portion of the legal notice. Page 182 November 13, 2018 MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: And I can make that part of the motion if you want it to be. MR. OCHS: Yes. Thank you very much. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And the second is --~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, I am. ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Let me just --again, we're taxing 0 r court reporter. I have three people on the board here. I've got G0 mmissioner Taylor, Commissioner Saunders, and Commissioner F iala. Have -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'll make my remar:k:s later. Let's vote. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Let's vote. Okay. Mid are you done, Commissioner Saunders? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: .. oing to vote against the motion because now we're sending a m es~-age to the public through this advertisement that the stormwater utility is still on the horizon, potentially, and I just don't want t o ~o that. COMMISSIONER McD N IEL: And may I address him? And the only thought ~rocess I have there, Commissioner Saunders, is what if the roductivity Committee comes up with a palatable utility e ~ that's different than anything we've heard about? COMMI8 SIO~ER SAUNDERS: Then we can consider that, and in 2020 we can adopt it. I mean, you know, we're rushing here, and we don't really nave to. We just got $420 million over the next seven years t1i a1: w e didn't have three weeks ago. ~6lMMISSIONER McDANIEL: None of which is appropriated fo tormwater. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I understand. The money's fungible. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: But it does free up --it does free up money. Page 183 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Oh, no, sir. The people voted on specific issues. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I understand what the people voted on. If you let me finish the sentence -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But you said it was fungible ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: If you let me finish the sentence, I will finish the sentence which is, basically, we have $420 million for some very important transportation needs and some very important needs. It would be hard for this board, any bod 0n this board to argue that that doesn't free up some of our m0 ey somewhere else. If you make that argument, then I'd have 0 be somewhat shocked. That's what I mean. We have more flexibility today than we did two weeks ago. Not with the sales tax. That's set. So that~s mJ 32c.=,nt. COMMISSIONER TA YLO~: But tlie money --you can't use that tax for O&M, and it's O&M, w a e're talking about. And we deliberately and consciously ancl y ery openly removed any talk of stormwater from that tax. COMMISSIONERS IJNDERS: I understand, Ms. Taylor, and I'll say it again. I'm not alking about using any of the $420 million for stormwater capital or maintenance. What I'm saying is, today we have $420 million more !}an we had last week. And if that doesn't give us a little flexibility with our budgets dealing with our ad valorem budget, I'm not sur w-ba t would give us flexibility. ~Q ]')fI SSIONER McDANIEL: Let me ask you -- ~6lMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: That's the point. OOMMISSIONER McDANIEL: --a question, Commissioner Saunders. Would your support come along if we didn't do the public advertising for the utility at this stage? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Yes, because I believe that we're sending a message to the public that this utility issue is still on Page 184 November 13, 2018 the horizon. And if we're not going to --I'm not going to vote for a utility at this point -- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Right. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --because of the taxes that we've already levied. And so if that's not part of it, then I'll support the motion. Have the committee come back and tell us what's --~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, I like your though ~ I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I interrupted you. I ju ask simply, do we already collect money for stormwa et~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. COMMISSIONER FIALA: That's the money here? COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: No, not necessarily there. COMMISSIONER FIALA: How mRc lI -- COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: ffl r. Ochs -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: --d0 we collect? COMMISSIONER McD NNi ffi L: Eight million in this year's budget. COMMISSIONER Fi~LA: Okay. So we have a certain amount that we're expecting eve year even if we don't. CHAIRM SOLIS: Well, we're not collecting it for that. This is coming out 0:E the , eneral Fund. MR. OCPIS: Yes, sir. COM l ~SIONER FIALA: Oh, okay. Okay, thank you. ~ ~I AN SOLIS: It's not --we're not collecting a stormwater --specd fi:eally a stormwater fee or anything -- OO MMIS SI ONER FIALA: Okay. So we have nothing on our tax Bill that says stormwater. I thought there was. MR. OCHS: No, only from the South Florida Water Management District, Commissioner. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Okay. We don't have Page 185 November 13, 2018 something in our budget that says --or in our tax bill that says "stormwater," but we're collecting --a portion of our ad valorem taxes that we're collecting, apparently, is going to stormwater. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Allocated. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: million plus. MR. OCHS: Mr. Isackson. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And we can allo~t~ more at our next budget. ~ ~ MR. OCHS: You can . , ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Because we do nave a little bit flexibility because of the fact we can afford -- (Multiple speakers speaking.) MR. ISACKSON: We can talk.ab @ut exibility when we get to our AUIR item. I'll be happy to make o,0uple of comments on that. But, Commissioners, as Mr. Oc li s indicated, we have an ordinance that says you allocat , up t-o on an equivalency basis . So when we put together the bud~et e identify all the --we throw all the potpourri of services, inclu ing the constitutional officers that come out of the General Fund and we include 111 into that equation for purposes of storm ater. But alwa~ rem,€'mber that you have only identified unincorporatea ar a benefits for stormwater projects that come off the General Funi l-eager. So it's not as uncomplicated as people might think. ,~- But we do, this year, allocate $8-plus million to the stormwater prQgram. You can divvy it up maintenance or capital, however way you 80 it. My job is to allocate money toward that. My job is to also indicate what other programs and services that we have in this community, and we do that every year. So in terms of flexibility, we'll wait to see what the tax rate's set Page 186 November 13, 2018 at, and I would assume that we'll do that in February rather than wait until July or August, because that will help me immensely when we start identifying programs and services. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Does it say on our tax bill ~ 4 "stormwater"? MR. OCHS: No, ma'am. MR. ISACKSON: No, ma'am. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And one question for Mr. IsaeRs o , . You know, I've heard you at least for the two years that I've b €e,n. on the commission --I don't want to call it preaching, but -- MR. ISACKSON: I don't like to preach, sii: CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right, no, you don' reac , but you highly and emphatically recommend that one of th e things that we need to be doing is looking at diversifying the revenue streams from which the county operates. Is that still your 011 ir1 · on~ MR. ISACKSON: Well, we are . ·eavily dependent on property taxes. And when you have anotli er ecession --it's going to come at some point. I can't predict w.n n it's going to happen. I have an idea, though. And you'll see tha in policy coming up in February. But when you're reliant on that fype of revenue stream, you're going to get caught short a littJ~ it like we were in '08/'09, and we reduced the General Fund' budget by some $145 million. So, yeah, '¥e always preached that. And we've had --in the budget pohcr w e've had strategies. It's --when you start looking at addin g a re \Q enue source and you look at your ad valorem tax, you cott ld alw ays take the ad valorem tax down on a dollar-for-dollar basis deP,e fl ing on what the source of new revenue is you're raising. We've talked about that in the budget policy before. Now, that's a conversation that might not be timely right now, certainly, but it's a conversation I think at some point in time down the road the Board probably has to have. Page 187 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Just my thought. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: That potentially could be one of the -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Could be one of the three. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: --three alternatives that comes 4.'?>-from the Productivity Committee. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Absolutely, absolutely. Okay. We have --Commissioner Fiala, your --nothing nor you? Okay. I think we've eaten the box of chocolates. @ ijy'. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Did they taste go @d1 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: There's a motion and a second. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: This has d ie advertisement? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: This has the advertisement. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: r his , as the advertisement. And I think, Commissioner Saund~ s eYen though I know you're not going to support it, I think it's prudent for us to do that. It does, in fact, allow --again, on the premise --again, you listen --don't shake your head no. You listen to --i¥~g. ,e listened to what I've said all along, I mean, even when we were at odds on the sales tax, I wasn't against the sales tax if there was a cemmensurate ad valorem reduction that traveled along w · t it. It wasn't the premise of the sales tax. It was the methodology :Hi at w ~s implemented with the sales tax initiative that I was not in favo F of. So if, in fa ct, we come to a consensus that a utility is the way to go, a,s staff -ecommending, and there is a commensurate ad valorem reductioiv that travels along with that, we need to advertise for it. ow, I also understand there's not a rush, as you're proposing, that we're sending the message that we're getting ready to raise people's taxes again, which I am not going to do, so --but I think it's prudent for us, as a board, to not foreclose out any potential ideas that are, in fact, availed. Page 188 November 13, 2018 So I'm going to leave it with the advertisement to go forward. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. There is a second? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: All in favor, say aye. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Aye. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. ~ '\ -v CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Aye. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Aye. ,rO CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Any opposed? ~ ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Aye. ~ ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. ~~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Lone Ranger for you for a change. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: 0~ ehange.

Item#9B RESOLUTION 2018-208: THE 2018 COMBINED ANNUAL UPDATE AND INVENTORY REPORT ON PUBLIC FACILJ .YJES AND SCHEDULE OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AS ~ PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 6.02.02 OF THE COL~l ER1 COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AND SE~:FJ ON 163 .3177(3)(B), FLORIDA STATUTES AND AD(;}P ~ A RESOLUTION THAT UPDATES THE 5-YE R ~ PITAL IMPROVEMENT SCHEDULES -MOTION 'H O ~CCEPT REPORT -APPROVED; RESOLUTION 2018-208 ~DOPTED • MR. OCHS: Okay. That tak€s t1 recommendation to review and aup:r o e the 2018 combined Annual Update and Inventory Report OH ~lie facilities and the schedule of capital improvements as "r0vi etl for in your Collier County Land Development Code, and to a opt a resolution that updates to the five-year capital im rov ment schedules. And Mr. B si will take you through the presentation. MR. BO ~t: G ~e)d afternoon. Mike Bosi, Planning and Zoning director. Once again, this is our November meeting, so that means it's time for tb~ ~nn al Update and Inventory Report and the Capital Impr ve}l'l ent Element. That's basically your capital improvements tRa will be needed over the next year to satisfy your requirements of con · urrency. I have a presentation where we'll talk just about some of the high points from a statutory perspective as well as from what locally we require. Page 190 November 13, 2018 The Annual Update and Inventory Report is an annual one-year snapshot of the projected needs and required capacity improvements for the next five years based upon population increases against the BCC adopted levels of service, and it should be noted that the sna~shot changes as to change for the demand equation evolved. Basically, what we're saying is the projects that are needed to support the ,gr0 th and development and the population increases that are corres 0 ding with that growth and development. We have two different categories that are within the ~UIR and, actually, our AUIR has a third category, and it's coasta m anagement. It's Category C. But Category A, or the concutw.€nc facilities, roads, drainage, potable water, wastewater, solid waste, parks, recreation, schools; and then B are your non-concurre e flcilities: Jails, law enforcement, libraries, emergency serviGes , and government buildings. Within there, I wanted to bring a cli &t inction between consistency and concurrency. The A UIR at the Cilt sets up the system for concurrency. That's your --that ' w hen you come in for an application for a development order OF fo an SDP, and we check the capacity of the systems available to sa isfy the demands that your project's going to be placed against it. ✓ Consistenc)J is the impact of development on the available adequate public fac ilities and services consistent with the levels of service adopte cl in the Collier Growth Management Plan and defined through th (l0 lher County Adequate Public Facilities ordinance. is is applied at the rezoning stage. So when a petition will co e in and request for a new residential development, new commercial development, mixed-use development, we'll apply our con istency review. It's not the hard concurrency, but we will look and see how much capacity is available and at that time we may identify some projects or improvements that would be needed, but that's not the strict application of concurrency. Page 191 November 13, 2018 Concurrency is the public facilities and services necessary to maintain that adopted level-of-service standards are available when impacts of the development occur. It's applied at the Site Development Plan stage or the plat stage. And what that means is at that time, it's a hard concurrency, it's a hard mathematical evaluation against what' available within the system and what your project's going to demantl against the system. And if there is insufficient capacity, buildin permits --or there can be a hold within COs, a hold within lh development order related to that lack of capacity. ~ The Florida Statutes 163 .3180, concurrency --ap_plies to concurrency regulations for the state. And the state Sai s sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and potable are the only p lie facilities that are subject to concurrency that they require, but as I've underlined, any local government may extend concuv en~~ (;l irements so that it applies to additional public faciliti~ witliin its jurisdiction. And when you look to the CoI1ie County Growth Management Plan, you see that specific instan~e ,0 f it. Within our Capital Improvement Element, Poltc~ .B establishes the concurrency requirements for potable water, wastewater, stormwater management, and solid waste disposal, Policy 5 .4 establishes the concurrency requirements for Earks and Recreation, Policy 5.5 establishes the concurrency niq ire ljllent for transportation. And then, finally, Policy 5.6 establishes he concurrency requirements for public school facilities. e --ased upon that, there is Parks and Recreation, there's transP,o Fta tion, and there's public schools which are above and beyond w at e state requires that we locally say we want to apply against the concurrency management system. One of the --one of the recommendations that had came from the Planning Commission after review of the 2018 AUIR was a recommendation for the Board to evaluate and consider including law Page 192 November 13, 2018 enforcement and EMS as a concurrency component. They're currently Category B facilities, and they requested that the Board of County Commissioners evaluate law enforcement and EMS as to whether they should be appropriately included as part of the concurrency management system, meaning those would be two additional ~ components that could potentially prevent the issue of development orders if there's lack of capacities in one of those two systems. Based upon that recommendation, if the Board was i1mdi ed to, staff could provide some further analysis as we move 0 ;ard in the preparation of the 2019 AUIR. But just wanted to , ,Foy,·efe that clarification that was provided by the Planning Goll11Fli ss1on. Additionally, within the Collier GMP, witfi 'n the Capital Improvement Element, we have an objective ana it's related to financial feasibility, and it basically sa~s, w1tfi he exception of schools, because schools is funded b ~ the school district, existing public facility deficiencies measured against the adopted level-of-service standards will b e li minated (sic) with revenues generated by ad valorem tax:e an other intergovernmental revenues received based on econ om· cs activity. I think we've heard some conversation from the Board today about revenue st ~ms and where we create the revenue streams necessary for tne cai,ital improvements in all of the needs of the county. So tha ls where we're at locally. From a stsxfute --from a Florida Statutes perspective, the fiscal or the financia · easibility is no longer a requirement. It basically only reiju-ir es that you have to identify projects necessary to ensure that the a O-.Qtecl levels of standards are achieved and maintained for your five-year period, as --and they have to be provided by a dedicated funded source or unfunded. So, really, the discretion and the decision-making in terms of fiscal financial feasibility is --ultimately, it's a local decision. It's a Page 193 November 13, 2018 decision that the Board of County Commissioners has adopted and it -- the state has really taken a step back in that regard, and it has said it's a local level --it's a local-level issue for the commission to make their own decisions on. Related back to the GMP, related to the Capital Improvemen~ Element, projects identified --and this is important when you thihK about concurrency and consistency. The concurrency applies t0 ~our first two years. The projects have to be in your first two ~ears for it to be counted against your for --to gain credit for that im r Qv:ement within the CIE. Projects identified in years three, four , an five {)f tli e scheduled capital improvement cannot be relied upon for co itted capacity for concurrency, but they're considered for co si stency. So when we apply concurrency w en Yl oia hear the term "concurrency," it's really only appl~ing t 0 what the existing system has, plus what's going to be added in th e first two years of your CIE. So when we look at it, when w IT to find identified revenue sources, we always try to marry u , those ones in the first two years with those dedicated revenue sources. And this comes down --we were talking about statutes, and then we were talking a15 out the GMP. Now we're down to the LDC level, and the LDC ~ecifi ~ally says, through the AUIR and the Capital Improvement lement and the annual budgeting, the recommendations contained ithjn those will propose financially feasible public facilit · es sc edule of capital improvements needed to maintain and rester€ the adopted levels of service, as well as recommendations for your nnual budgeting project and other suggested funding sources. So that's really where we sit from a statutory perspective from -- of how do we pay for growth. What's required for --within our CIE, and then this is --what is it that drives the --drives the capital improvement? What drives the annual update? Based upon our Page 194 November 13, 2018 individual policy within the Capital Improvement Element, population estimates shall be based upon the most recent population bulletin from the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research, which we refer to as BEBR, and then we also have a 20 percent markup for our seasonal impacts. ~ We understand that our seasonal visitors place greater demaua~ upon our system, so we have to account for that. That 20 percent is utilized in general for most facilities. Public Utilities has a litt le bit different of a formula for how they provide that extra -tHe additional capacity, but for general purposes we can say there's a Q ercent markup factor to our infrastructure in relations.hi ~ an understanding of the impact of our visitors. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: So yotm 12opulation estimates are including that 20 percent increase that rises ancl falls in the season? MR. BOSI: Yes. ~ COMMISSIONER TA YLORJ· Gll<ay, good. Thank you. COMMISSIONER McDNNII L: Based upon numbers derived from the median BEBR e-pu -tion estimates. So that's an important criterion. COMMISSIONER TI<.. LOR: But it's including it. It's not -- when they talk about population growth, it's including that 20 percent. MR. BO~t: OtJr Capital Improvement Element, our AUIR includes the 20 i?i ercent, and it allocates for that 20 percent. The BEBR numbers are ~u;s t straight permanent population. We just utilize a 20 percent mar . · p above that, what they provided. ~6lMMISSIONER TAYLOR: For the capital projects. MR. BOSI: Yes. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay, yeah. Because they use it. Whether they're here seasonal or not, they need it. MR. BOSI: And this next slide, I think, is from an individual who's been involved within the Capital Improvement Program and Page 195 November 13, 2018 budgeting for over a decade . This slide is something, I think, that should be appreciated by each of the decision makers in a sense of, if you look at our growth percentage or the annual growth percentage that we've projected since 2013, we've been right about at 2 percent for the last six years, and that's not too --it's almost a Goldilocks scenat io. It's not too high, not too low. I know there's always contractions within our business cycles, and we're due for one. But what tn at suggests to you is we haven't had a tremendous runup in ~QllS of overspeculation. It's been a steady increase. ~,,.,, And our infrastructure providers have had ade 9:ua ime, I believe, to adjust. What happened after the 20 , f) tlf s annual census, we found that we had a little bit more capacity in o r system against the population because we had some population exitus, I believe, you know, for economic purposes. So we hacl m 0re available capacity than what we thought we had at the time hen: we recalibrated with the population. Well, that recalibration an tllat extra capacity has since diminished. We're now h ittin~ th e period of time where improvements are needed, and I think yon 1 see within this AUIR that you're starting to see more of the individual departments and divisions starting to respond to six year-s of 2 percent population growth. So determining how much we build, it's new population versus your level-of-s e£V ·ce standard equals your Capital Improvement Program. It' &imply a math problem. For this AUIR, we're projecting 33,8 ~ atlditronal people. You multiply that by .33, and that's the ameunt ¢ square footage that we required for libraries. Now, we're good @n libraries, we're not proposing any, but I just utilize that as an example for you to understand how we determine how much we build. But that's not the only determination. That's not the only driver of the needed capital improvements. We have three components that really are aside from population, Page 196 November 13, 2018 and the population has a direct effect upon it , but transportation in particular. It's transportation counts which are collected over multiple times a year banked against what the --the trip banks that are in the system against the capacity of those road systems. That's how --that's what drives the determination for when new roads are needed. ~ So it's not just simply population, numbers of people he~t s based upon real time of those trips and the utilization of the infrastructure that dictates when that --what we identified fQr the new facility that is going to be needed. ~ Public Utilities has a little bit different as well. It t lizes population projections as a component of it, but also hnstoric demand usage is a prime component, plus they have an a d 1 tional capacity premium of which they understand that be eause of the need --the needed assurance to always know that ~011 Ha:v.e capacity when that toilet is flushed, that they put an eXitF a P.ac 1ng or buff er within the percentage of capacity to be able to aUeviate a problem that we had back, I think in 2000 and 2001 w her e we were out of capacity, and we do not want to revisit that eon iti on again. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: It's there . MR. BOSI: So that 's another component. And then stormwater, it's the individua 6 asin studies that have helped establish the baseline for helping to deteffijine what's the level of service for any one of those individual bas ins. So it's , ot population on all of the facilities. There is some uniqueness hat utilize a little bit different arrangement. i\n ~these next two slides are just going to show you for the last anths where --the COs that were issued. And we circled -- Commissioner Fiala, I think as you can see, your East Trail tends to be one of the most active and common destinations for the COs that are coming out of the ground, and I think that has a lot to do with a lot of new commercial land uses that you're starting to see pop up following Page 197 November 13, 2018 those rooftops. And then this is over the past 13 years. The past 13 years from the printing of this date, you know, 35,286 multifamily and single-family dwelling units were issued COs. It shows you where our growth areas are. It's --the Immokalee corridor and that East Trad continue to be the location, the area where our COs are most fr eq en ly occurring. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Before you go on, iit I may, Mr. Chair, I hope your map is inclusive of the entire count)?, ee ause you've cut off a huge portion of Oil Well Road, Ave M ar· a, all that out there where there's enormous growth, enormou gro f h. I mean, I think Ave Marie, if I'm not mistaken, is one or t o in the entire state as far as a community goes. MR. BOSI: It is inclusive of the entire e unty. I apologize for the -- COMMISSIONER McDANI :C: There's no sorries. I just want to make sure it's included in the ~r ue ess . MR. BOSI: It is, Commiss ioner. COMMISSIONER Fi~LA: And sometimes a map, like all of the commercial that's going on along the East Trail, but that's not real productive co ercial, right? That's the gas stations and these storage unit things. T~er e's, li ke, 13 of them coming in, but they only house two employ ees, and they're not really for people that live there. They're just there. 80 tt isn't a productive type of commercial, which we wish it wa,s But anyway, just wanted to mention that. Sometimes you can 't see those on a map . M R. BOSI: The last topic we're going to talk about was just the relat ionship between impact fees and levels of service. Your Annual Update and Inventory Report establishes the rational nexus required for utilization of impact fees in both your category facilities. It's an approximation on revenue projected over the Page 198 November 13, 2018 capital period to determine the county's ability to construct and adopt the level of service. And final clarification: All projects in the CIE/AUIR have to be growth related. They have to be related to growth because impact fees are being utilized. And when impact fee funds are being utilized, tB~y have to be allocated to system expansion. They can't look backw ar s. They have to look forward to be able --to increase the capac t-hat's associated with those new dwelling units. And the final slide is in the fiscal realm, and I'm going to turn over to Mr. Isackson. ~~ MR. ISACKSON: Thanks, Mike. ._,,,~ Commissioners, good afternoon. Mark Isa kson with the Office of Management and Budget. Just a couple of observations that we tli0ught we'd put together in this last slide for you. Knowing that tMe sa-les tax had passed, knowing that there's deficits shown in three S'.Rectific areas in the AUIR, I thought we'd give you a little iemr~ of how that might work going forward. Category A, your transQ rtation projects, there was originally $106 million shortfall in the Transportation Element. Vanderbilt Beach Road, as ~art of the sales-tax initiative, had allocated $74 million towani t1iat !}articular effort, which reduces that shortfall substantially, t0 roughly 32.4 million. You l©o * a the VBR extension, $100 million project, essentially; 7 4-ofi tnat' s coming from the infrastructure sales tax; 26 million will come from existing appropriations, and then you've got other projects t'Ra a e listed in that particular element that, combined, would make up abo t a $32.4 million shortfall. I mentioned to the senior leadership team the other day that passage of the sales-tax initiative simply reduces our need to borrow. It doesn't eliminate the need to borrow. And that substantial reduction Page 199 November 13, 2018 in borrowing can pay some dividends down the road, and we'll see how much those dividends are when we come back to you with guidance and when you set your tax policy and when we see what taxable value is and a bunch of other things that our commingled in that. Your stormwater unfunded need totals roughly 33.5 millio , and those are the projects that you see listed there. Now, County Manager and the Deputy County Manager and I have spoken about, well, how much of that can you bo 0 versus how much of that can you carve out and maintain as pa of ur normal funding. That's probably a decision that the Board wial make at some point. We'll be back before you at some point -wi tli an infrastructure financing plan knowing that you have a seven-year sales tax coming forward. • So I'm sure that will be part and pa . (sic) of that, the theory being that you could technically finance ~ooo new stormwater capital and come back behind and have youri r egular recurring operating revenues offset some of the mainte ano eomponents of it, so ... And on the wastewatei-side, Joe Ballone's office and my office, have been talking over the last few months about the northeast site and the financing plan that would be forthcoming to construct new facilities in th~ easteµi quadrant in order to address burgeoning needs that will be hap~ening out there in the next few years. The D I~ shows a $116 million deficit from a wastewater stand~oi t, and that's going to be addressed as part of a planned debt finan cin~ strategy. I believe the discussion with the County Manager, De u County Manager, and myself has been sometime either at the Dec'ember meeting or January meeting we'll talk about specific debt financing strategies related to that eastern quadrant out there. And then, finally, Commissioners, your public safety and law enforcement, EMS, those were all originally shown as a deficit, but Page 200 November 13, 2018 most of those projects --or, in fact, all of those projects are under your infrastructure sales-tax component going forward. So, Mike, did you have anything else you wanted to add? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Mr. Chairman, could I as a quick question? On two of the items -- MR. ISACKSON: Commissioner. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: --the stormwater, 33. million shortfall that would have been funded with a utility fee, it fhei:e's debt financing for that, what would be the source of revenue to r epay that? You said a portion of that could be -- MR. ISACKSON: Well, you can't --you'~ not going to be able to use ad valorem taxes, obviously. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I uncl ers and. MR. ISACKSON: So we usually use t e erm and the vernacular, all legally available non-ad valore r enues. That's the term that I would suggest that we use to identi ~ itf you're going to issue debt, what the repayment source woultl Be. COMMISSIONERS~ ' · ID ERS: So, for example, revenue sharing -- MR. OCHS: Sales tax. MR. ISAC SON: Sales tax. COMMIS ~IO~ER SAUNDERS: --anything that we get from the state. MR. IS ~~ SON: That's right. (£0 'ISSIONER SAUNDERS: And then Category A, transRo Ft ation projects, there's a $32.4 million shortfall reduced from tJ6 million because of the 7 4 million going to Vanderbilt Beach Road. That would be paid for, I assume, with this gas tax. Debt financing -- MR. ISACKSON: Well, that's one option that we have. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Or impact fees? MR. ISACKSON: That's one option that we have, sir. Your gas Page 201 November 13, 2018 taxes, keep in mind, expire --your debt on the gas taxes expire in 2023 and 2025. So you could accelerate that and re-up your gas taxes and go out longer on a debt issue quicker than '23 or '25, which might be an option, knowing that interest rates are continuing to creep up. Th t's something that we would talk about as part of an infrastructure financing plan going forward that we would bring back to the~arO m the near future. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: One more question on the gas-tax revenues that we get. I understand that impact fee ave to be used to pay for infrastructure necessitated by new growt . Gasoline taxes, what are they restricted to? MR. ISACKSON: Well, they're --we just Hao conversations with the Clerk's Office not too long ago about w at you can pay for. I can't remember all of them, sir, but I thi roa:Els ar e a good example, bridges are a good example of what ~G1l might be able to pay with gas taxes. COMMISSIONER SAUN,,_,__,__~R S: If you had a stormwater project associated with a w road -- MR. ISACKSON: T at might be --I think you're splitting hairs there. That would be so ething I'd want to steer away from, but I'd defer to the Cler 's Office on that. MR. OC. . : 6;0od idea, though. MR. ISA SON: Because it's not clean. It's not clean. I try to avoid things ltat aren't clean. (£0 'ISSIONER SAUNDERS: As long as it's just not dirty, that's ok)y. v R. OCHS: That's true. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It doesn't have to be totally clean. MR. BOSI: And I just wanted to add, we've got our full staff available in case you had any questions on any one of the submittals Page 202 November 13, 2018 from the AUIR team, and we're happy to answer any questions that you may have. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. What have you worked into or how have you planned it? We had a problem years ago when Jim~ Mudd was still our county manager, and we were projecting our ~ housing needs back then, and we had a certain goal to meet all th e time, and we were very conscientious about doing that. Q i6 con rse, nobody ever expected the market to go crashing, you knew . We had plenty of houses. Everything was going fine, and th arket crashed. Now, everybody was either fleeing or aban donin t eir homes, and now they're --now we had too many houses. , at are you doing to make sure we don't, again, get into that s,ame situation? MR. BOSI: Well , there's little that w e oam do in terms of how many COs are being requested fro m tfi 8 evelopment side. I think one of the things you can take comfort In iii 1f you look at the --you look at the population increases, the 5-f0 o-to 7,000 people a year that we are projecting is almost in line witn Uf e COs that we're issuing. Our COs have been 22-, 25-. I thini t e highest that we've gotten is about 2,700. And you utilize the formula of 2.39 persons per household, and you get close to t 'hl 5-to 6 ,000 person range. So from tne em,pirical data that we've collected over the past six years com2 are 8 to the COs that have been issued, I don't think that we have a leve l 01; {)Verspeculation in relationship to the populations that we e~n eeted against the COs that we've issued. ow , of course, when we see that the COs start rising above 3,QOO person --3,000 number level and our population projections don'-t start to adjust, then we start seeing, well, maybe there's a little bit overspeculation within the marketplace. But until that period of time, we're still --I think we're still moving along at an appropriate pace, especially based upon those COs corresponding. Page 203 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. So, in other words then, say, for instance, you're building this whole big beautiful development, right, but now it's teetering on whatever our projections say we could have. You can't just stop them. It's their land. They have a right to build. What do you do then? ~ COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Pray. ~ MR. BOSI: We issue all COs as required per the regulati0ns, upon the limitations that are provided to this government. ~fil we're bound --you know, we're bound to operate by that rul se even if we feel that there's overspeculation within the market. e f~om a regular --from a growth management side of the shop, e i sne permits based upon satisfaction of the regulatory code. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Thank ~eJ u. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. ¼ommiss ioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : I'm not sure who this is a question for; maybe for Nick. We ha e the Big Cypress Basin that generates --and you don't have t 0 tell me how much --revenue. That was something that Mary: Elle awkins established back in the late '70s, I believe. MR. CASALANG1JI A: Yes, sir. COMMISSI©NER SAUNDERS: And I believe that the Big Cypress Basin Has r e}ally been a significant factor in water management tli roughout Collier County. What is the amount of revenue tha tn;,~ county collects for that? RL C , SALANGUIDA: Sir, off the top ofmy head, I'm going OOMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Rough estimate. MR. CASALANGUIDA: I'm going to say roughly 13 million, but I could be way off because of the -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: 13 million a year? MR. CASALANGUIDA: That was what I remember the last Page 204 November 13, 2018 number. I'll get that accurate number. And that's only for the primary canal, sir. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Right. That can only be used for primary canals? MR. CASALANGUIDA: Primary canals and major structures that's listed under their purview. We have a contract with the1?. ~ COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And the contract is ·itH the Big Cypress Basin? MR. CASALANGUIDA: Yes, sir. It's actually witli the district. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: And, of couFse, 1: e district has to approve whatever funding --whatever projec ~ tHer e are, ultimately the district has to approve? MR. CASALANGUIDA: And the c ~~ct says that you approve those projects every year as well as, too, si t v COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : 6)l<ay. I'd like to, as part of our --maybe not too relevant to the ~ IR, but I think it's relevant to our stormwater issues, to get ah tie bit more information to the Commission on how benefroia1 that Big Cypress Basin has been in terms of generating money o water management and how that may interplay with other things tnat we do. I realize that ;we're not going to use that to replace pipes and that sort of thing, bu jus, kind of curious as to how that might flow with whatever else e do. MR. fi: ~.A.LANGUIDA: We'll give you a good historical brea , down, sir. ~6lMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Were they not involved on some lev€1 0n what we're doing on Ridge Street? MR. CASALANGUIDA: With the grant, ma'am. They provided a local-option grant both to the city and the county. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: A million or -- MR. CASALANGUIDA: About 800,000 is my recollection. Page 205 November 13, 2018 There was another 400,000 in an upcoming year. Amy might have a tighter number. MS. PATTERSON: Hi. Amy Patterson, for the record, director of Capital Project Planning. The Big Cypress Basin, South Florida Water Management ~ District, provided $1.6 million to the city and $800,000 to the CJ )Ull for that joint project. ~ MR. CASALANGUIDA: Thanks, Amy. ,t 0 COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Thank you. ~~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner McDaniel\~- COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, ye . 'Fhis is a perfect slide for us to be at, Commissioner Taylor, whet1 we were talking about the median BEBR numbers being th€ gopulation estimator, and it's one of the issues that I have with thi 0 1~ report. This is a report that is generated by our staff to allow us t,0 plan for the future, for the growth, and this particular instance,. it' f --the BEBR numbers are showing us running right at 10 ercent in growth when, in actually, we're hitting 2, growth pei ee -age analyzed; is that correct? MR. CASALANGUII9 : No, sir. MR. BOSI: The fi , e-year growth period --the five-year growth period is at 10 pei~nt, and each year within that growth period there's a 2 percent. COMMI SIONER McDANIEL: It's two percent a year. Forgive me. I misunMe1 stood the slide that was, in fact, there. ,So itlli that, I'll be quiet for a minute. I do have a statement I want to make with regard to the actual report itself. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: You were the last speaker, so now would be a good time if you want to do that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, I just --I found it --I took exception to the AUIR's report in us accepting it and adopting it as the planning tool when there are known deficiencies in the Page 206 November 13, 2018 level-of-service capacities that we, in fact, have, and known deficiencies represented in the report in transportation. There were not any discussions about the known deficiencies other than what was elaborated on today with regard to the stormwater deficiencies that we've been talking about for coming on six, seven --well, since I came in office. ~ And I'm having difficulty continuing to utilize this metho~0logy from a planning perspective when we delineate known den ie cies and accept the report but then continue to defer the detic;ie , cies and kick the can on down the road. And I'm wondering wliat we need to do from a policy perspective to make adjustments tG tnclse eficiencies so that we're not politicizing the utilization of the a ailao e revenues. The stormwater is a perfect example, · my mind, of when the revenues start --ad valorem started to deeFea e due to the great recession. There was cannibalizati@n o:ut bf the stormwater fund to be utilized for other expenditures and suIJport other things, in tum creating a deficit. We acknowletl ged the deficit, but through the --and I can't remember whether ~ou called it consistency or whether we utilized consistency or concurrency --we acknowledged the deficit but never funded it and then continued to accumulate on that basis. And that's n ere I'm having a difficult time with this entire --I don't know whet er J · eed to look at you or I need to look at Leo as -- you and I have talked about these things. I mean, this is --I'm having a difficult tirn a,crcepting this report. Ji o it's important for us to plan, Michael. You and I have been w0r:k;in together forever, since the East of 951 Horizon days, and planning is imperative. But if you're operating off of information that isn't as accurate, necessarily, as it can be and/or there is opportunities for --or necessities for policy adjustment, I've got concerns with utilizing this AUIR and the CIE. I know we're required statutorily --I think, statutorily, is the CIE, Page 207 November 13, 2018 correct? The AUIR is something that we have adopted as a county through an ordinance of --I think I read it in the book back in 1990. Maybe we need to adjust that ordinance or at least have a review of that ordinance and the methodologies that we're utilizing to establish it. MR. CASALANGUIDA: Sir, if I could a little bit, because w€ talked a little bit on the phone, is they're all different. If you logi a transportation, they use actual traffic counts, and you set your le:V el of service based on measurements that you take physically OH thtit ground. So population in that five years has nothing to do with it. Your stormwater really isn't population based, ano they've struggled by setting a level of service. I know · ght ow, as the commissioner pointed out, Big Cypress Basin is 01ng through a level-of-service study. How do they set le , e of service to prioritize capital projects? Well, they're using .wate~ 1 ows out of bank. And, you know, over five years when the canals start to increase when they go out of bank, that's exceeding their evel of service. I know we're monitoring tMat and joining them in that study, so that's based on water capae-i . ntl flows. They also include in that component a capital section that talks about when you added O&M -- I'm looking at Amy --probably back four or five years, because it became such a bi{deal, Golden Gate City was put in there. Now, that's not a le~el of syrvice from a capacity standpoint. It's a level of service from an operational standpoint, but it had budget implications. And tlien ~arks, you talk about acreage per person, or libraries you tal about persons per population, and then EMS is response time ana p0pnlation. So they're all very, very different. So maybe we could spend some Q&A time with you and break those down and see which one you wanted to go after and maybe bring back for a discussion. But across the board they're very, very unique. And I know George uses his checkbook to actual capacity. So he monitors the Page 208 November 13, 2018 flows and three-day peak flows and, you know --so they're all very, very different. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, and in that regard, there was a discussion about a deficit in the wastewater for the northeast plant, but I also know that there's been multiple discussions and methodologies to support that deficit for the construction of that Pi l 1r through developer contributions, through hookups for potabl w ater fees and the like. And we --but it's still showing in here, and those alternatives --so to me there's a $116 million deficit that' µecessarily unfunded, but I know out there there are funding met odologies available, but I'm being shown as unfunded. MR. OCHS: Well, I think in transportatio n , in tlfe five-year we actually identify that deficit and asterisk it · th a recommendation that we go out with a bond to cover that defl€it i tli at case , so -- COMMISSIONER McDANI~L : &a that was how the Planning Commission actually accepted the A. fR, with that asterisk that we did delineate that there was a bondin g r~quisite? MR. BOSI: That was oo tained within the AUIR in which they reviewed. And I think --an cl it also has a lot to do with --this discussion has a lot to d0> with the continuum. In Februa~ ~ou will be back establishing your budgetary criteria for moving fo FW ard, a:nd this is --this CIE --AUIR/CIE in November is supposed to set the stage of here's the identified needs, here's where we have fun @iQ g, here's where funding is needed, and it does identify opti cin s of e · ther finding where the revenue streams are going to be. If th€ ~0 ard of County Commissioners feels that revenue is not available , t'R a tHey're unable to fund it, there's always an option to lower levels of service accordingly based upon that lack of funding. So it does have a relationship to set you up for areas that are highlighted for what we'll need in terms of a capital status moving forward so --when your budgetary discussions are supposed to be Page 209 November 13, 2018 informed by this process as well. I'm not sure if that helps --or addresses your question. But you always have the ability to adjust levels of service when there aren't identified revenue streams or you feel that those revenue streams are not available to you. That's always one option that's available. But this really does set the stage for you~ discussions come February where your budgetary priorities a~'?} supposed to --you know, are supposed to be focused. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Well, and on that [15)oint , I mean, that's where discussions can, in fact, be made or had ·th e gard to identification of funding sources to support the needs . He needs are identified within the AUIR, and then --and tho e th "nk:, need to be -- and that might be where I was talking about the a ajus ments to the actual ordinance that was adopted in 1990 tli at created this process, that we have a discussion about those identitie d needs and set in precedence or policy to establish the mn cling sources for the identified deficiencies within the available fund1 t1 g streams that we have and not let it be so politicized and/ or --I knf>w that Mark likes to have flexibility in his budgetary IQ f @cesses , but identification --did you notice how I did the shell ga e thing? The identification of th:e funding sources, I think, might be a good thing for us to do s a policy to make those adjustments and take the political aspirations 9ut of it. That's all i \re got. CHAI . _~N SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor. ~O 'ISSIONER TAYLOR: I think this is a wonderful way of lo *ing t budgeting, and it certainly beats you coming to the city and as ~in g if you can hook up because the sewer --you know, the waste is running in the streets. So, you know, to me it's a flag that we have to pay attention to. And I find it very educational, very worthwhile. Thank you. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Fiala. Page 210 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. I guess it's the multiplier that we use to depend on what the final results are. And one time --and you brought this to mind --we were trying to figure out how much affordable housing we needed. And this is back in 2005. I mean, growth was --it was going wild, and we had to make sure that we~ prepared for enough affordable housing here to take care of that ~ growth. And so we enacted a fee to pay for all of the develo · et . They kicked and screamed about that, but we collected it an~way. When the market dropped out, now we had too muoli affordable housing, and so that's when you hear of all of the de ve @~ers coming back and saying, we don't want to pay any more e want the money we paid back --paid back to us. That's what haa appened. I guess it depends on --how do you figure the multiRli er? We tried the best we can at the time, and we chose a wrong n12tmfler. MR. OCHS: Yeah. Commission r, I think that was more of a board policy initiative than a level-0 -service metric. I think the Board at the time felt like they wanted o 61 0 something about affordable housing, so they said, wel, ho: about ifwe charge $1,000 a unit, and that's what the Board enacted at the time. There was no leve -of-service standard for affordable housing in your AUIR at the time nor since. So it wasn't exactly tied to level-of-servioe , tan?f ard like this Capital Improvement Program is. It was more of a olicy formula, if you will. COM . l~S ONER FIALA: Okay. That's good then. l~L O E HS: But you are right, we collected it to use towards af erda~ e housing, and then the recession hit, and things changed. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Very good. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I do have one last point. I hit the button again. And I thought about this, and it's something to acknowledge. I mean, I've been watching the budgetary processes. There was planned borrowing established for these capital requisites. Page 211 November 13, 2018 It's been planned for quite some time, starting in 2019's budget cycle . The advent of the sales tax has reduced the necessity of the borrowing my some --my brain, Commissioner Saunders, you were saying 420 million, but I recall 4 70 million, irrespective --that has reduced that borrowing necessity by that amount which, in tum --and Nick and I were speaking about this. If you also add in the inter srt savings that's associated with that, is a considerably larger amount of money that we're not going to have to go out and borrow night now to support these unfunded needs as established in the AU ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Except in the tQ ater. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Except ·n tl ie -tormwater. We're still chatting about that. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: ~ o that sales tax goes to the cities. That's why it's not -- COMMISSIONER McDANI :C: That could be. Maybe that was --470-was the total amount, an p ~rt goes to --thank you, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : M gr good. So do we have a motion to accept the report? COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: So moved. COMMISSI ©NER FIALA: And second. CHAIRM~ S0 LIS: There's a motion and a second. Any other discussion?

Item#llD ~ REVIEW THE HISTORY OF THE ANONYMOUS COMP 1t T POLICY AND SUPPORT THE PRACTICE LIMITING ~ E ACCEPTANCE OF ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS E0>;R CODE ENFORCEMENT AND DOMESTIC ANIMAL S~R ICES CODE COMPLAINTS -DISCUSSED MR. OCHS: 1 lD is a recommendatig to review the history of the anonymous complaint policy an q. su , po til e practice limiting the acceptance of anonymous complain s IQr ,,· ode Enforcement and DAS code complaints. Mr. Ossorio can give you a bri ef presentation or respond to questions. Pleasure of th ~oard. Essentially, we're recommending that we maintain the existing board policy on anonymous complaints. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: owe need a recap of the history of this? COMMISSI ©NER McDANIEL: No. I think we should have a brief discussion bo'(Jt it, but I don't need the history. CHAI ~N SOLIS: Okay. COM l ~SIONER SAUNDERS: Should we try to define what brief ·s? ,~- ~6>JMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Yes. Hit the timer. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Brief. Thirty seconds or less. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Thirty seconds or less. If you want to do that, then we'll just leave it the way that it is. I really think we should give due consideration to allow for some leniency of staff on anonymous complaints. We have a provision that Page 214 November 13, 2018 allows for anonymous complaints when there's an obvious health, safety, and welfare life-or-death situation. That can be performed anonymously. But I think we should, on a limited --and I actually talked about this last year, allow for anonymous complaints holding the complainant responsible for frivolous complaints after a certain particular point in time. ~ I believe that it's a prudent thing for us to do. It would engage more people in our community to participate in our codes and regulations without fear of retribution from the complaitit ---the person that they're filing the complaint against. So I would prefer to see us make that allo ance_, ancl let it be a staff designate --you know, if you get a frequen fl er that is calling because his neighbor's dog's coming over in 0 his yard all the time -- CO MMIS SI ONER FIALA: Oi;_ beeau e hey reported him. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: C,0 rrect. Well, and that happens. That -- CO MMIS SI ONER FIAL.M . es, especially in mobile home parks. COMMISSIONER Nt ~DANIEL: So that's what I would like us to do. But if you want t0, leave it alone, I'm okay with that, too, because there still i the opportunity --just to belabor my point, you can still file an anony mous complaint. You just have to call your --who then files it on your behal£. ~R. OCHS: Which staff has found to work relatively well. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: It works well in our office. Very well. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And it works --it's been working well certainly in my office, and it happens many times. And if they don't Page 215 November 13, 2018 want to tell you who they are when they're calling you and they don't trust their commissioner, well, then it makes me wonder what they're really up to, but in any event. Commissioner Fiala. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah. I just --I think some oftfii s is prompted by certain areas where you have to be --you have to em in safe. And one a long time ago, but it was a guy that was just t emi ble with his property. He lived way out in the Estates, and a n e iglabor started to complain about him. You remember him, d n t ou? And so he started shooting at their cars . ~ ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Wow. ~~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: And so --but they were afraid to call for protection, but they got the Sheriffs 0 £ 1oe. That didn't help very much . So then he started shooting their animals. Then they put him in jail, but when he got out then --well, i MT~n't say this on camera, but there was some funny things that w;en on that were ridiculous. But, anyway , we felt that t~€.r e was a need definitely to be able to report it anonymously in situa -i ons where the person isn't mentally all right. You know, whether ll e has a drug problem or whether he just isn't mentally right. ✓ So when I gela call back --it was me that put this on there. And when I got a ctfl ab q,l1 t this, I guess there were some that were --a couple areas wli e e people were fearful, and so --and I said, well, you could call mr Qffice, and they said, well, I wonder if we can't call your offic~. ontier if you're out of town. Wonder if anything, could we just --yoia know, could we do that? So maybe there's a way that they can call anonymously but just to a ceftain person or something who would then act upon that but maintain the person's safety. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Absolutely . COMMISSIONER FIALA: So I agree with what you said, there Page 216 November 13, 2018 has to be some provision, or there should be or could be but, yet, the way we're doing it is fine. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yeah, just so that we have a way for people who can't. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Maybe, if I might make a suggestion, because I like the idea --maybe I work with staff a little bit to develop some accountability for the complainants, some -don't want to call it retribution. I just want accountability fo r tli ?'frequent flyer that's filing frivolous complaints. I think that would prohibit them, but by having it the way that it is, not a lo --i ou, Joe Q citizen, call Code Enforcement and talk to --unless you talk to Mr. Ossorio, they tell you you cannot file an anonymous complaint. They don't tell you to call your county commissione» to file the anonymous complaint. They just --they stop right tnf2r e. COMMISSIONER FIALA: l do 't think Mike and Jamie heard what you said, but --~ MR. OCHS: They heard. COMMISSIONER Fl~LA: --we wanted to cover that. COMMISSIONER Mc ANIEL: That's one of the things that maybe you're no ecessarily aware of. When they call, a complainant wants to file an: anoq.ymous complaint, by board policy that's not allowed. But t ey don't --there isn't the discussion about the f ollowup to say, wen e~H your commissioner, and they'll file a complaint on your e alf And we've had that. And it depends on who the code enf0r~e ent officer is. And I'm not throwing any rocks at Code. I'm just talking about the policy is you're not allowed, unless it's a health, safe , and welfare issue, to file an anonymous complaint. So maybe we could enhance the --just as a trial basis, to enhance the instruction that comes from Code to say, if you want to file an anonymous complaint, your commissioner will do it for you. Page 217 November 13, 2018 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yeah. I kind of assumed that that happened, but if it's not, yeah, I'd be in favor of that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I've had several people that have called me that have said, geez, I got --you know, I got this guy doing this and this --and Michael and I talk on a regular basis, so ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yeah. And I would just--I mean,-~~ maybe there's just a script that could be written. Because it's 0 only you can call your commissioner, but be advised you're goin g to have to tell your commissioner who you are --~, COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes. ~~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: --as well. ~~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: And you'll remain anonymous. The commissioner will not divulge that. r\ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Jamie's maNi n ~ face. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: It lias to be by phone, because once it goes into writing, text, email, th en it becomes a matter of public record -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS : ~ ah. COMMISSIONER NIB DANIEL: --and you can't protect the ✓ SOLIS: Is there a logistical issue with doing that? CH: No, sir. For the record, Jamie French, deputy department hea8 for Growth Management. Commis sjoner, currently --we're always evolving. As this board is aw , re, w 've been working with Plante Moran to come in and look at ®U e ticiencies as well as the way we do business. And we define quality by the service that the client receives, and in this case it's beyond --the Board is our client, but also our internal customers in our community. So one of the things that we've recently done is as we receive anonymous complaints, we do run them. We'll actually send an officer Page 218 November 13, 2018 or we'll send an investigator in the field. It may not be that next day, unless they have identified it as health/safety and that it's urgent, but we do go by. And we will actually take a look at the property. And if we can visibly see something from the road or from a public entryway, then at that point we would have a conversation with the complainant. N o , again, it would all be based off health/safety. We're not talking about perhaps an RV that may have been there a day too long or. somebody's boat that they had been out enjoying their weekend an tli ~ forgot to put it back in storage within a couple days. We're simp ~ talking about these life-safety issues, as you mentioned, sir. With regards to anonymous complaints, our staff is trained, and they will ask open-ended questions to ask ttx actly what is going on. We want to get a good picture befor~ we RUt ome of our investigators actually in the field so that we're n 0t p tting them in harm's way as well. We have constant commuR · cation with our Sheriffs Department. Mike meets with the lieut@na fs of each district pretty much on a monthly basis. Most recently you , assed a card skimmer resolution where you moved forward, a immediately we'd already met with Lieutenant Chad Parker -and w e've known Chad for years, but we're already working that out, nd we've already brought somebody on, a former sheriffs de12:u , as a job bank associate that we can partner with the Sheriif s Of:lfrce to move forward and look at those. So we are st ant1f paying attention to your direction. nd, again, we recognize that this is a very important asset to the co unity. If you've noticed, our code enforcement officers, we're no longer in military gear. We're no longer --we no longer look like police officers. No badges other than our county ID and, simply, we're a county employee and we're simply there to educate and to help. Page 219 November 13, 2018 Now, clearly, if that doesn't happen, we will go into the enforcement action. And so when we do have repeat offenders, when we find that there may be some drug paraphernalia or perhaps some illegal activities going on, we partner with the Sheriff's Office to stop that activity right then and there. ~ So I know Commissioner Fiala and I had a detailed discussio last Friday about her concerns, and I met with Nick Kouloheras t oday. We're going into that community, because I want to look a tn at illegal construction. And, quite honestly, when we hear this from th€ mentioning communities, that's all we need. W e krl 0 tn at it's a concern to you. I don't need an --and Mike doe sn't need a call from your aide to say "go look at this." We recognize it's a concern to you, and we want to make sure that we're .able to ~n~tect the interests of all your constituents and that we look at this fairly. So, again, when we do receive anonymous complaints, we will be sending an officer by or an invest i ator by. We may not interact with that property owner. But t0 tn tu point, Commissioner McDaniel, there is an ordinance --the e's an adopted policy on record that if you do have a repeat offender, your words, with regards to falsifying complaints , we can take action against those, and it's a $5,000 fine. We work ve c1ose ~ with County Attorney Klatzkow's office, Kevin Noell and his o fice, we work very closely with him, and we've only done this ~i n 0ne person because, simply, when they see that ordinan<t e, th ey recognize that we mean business, and we will go after them in ~e event that it's a repeat offender and it's a falsified complaint. So the only thing that I would --the only thing that I would caution, or that staff would caution, is that, anonymous or not, if we're going to actually start processing maybe falsified complaints and have something, it no longer is anonymous. It's a public record. Page 220 November 13, 2018 So if we were to prosecute or if we were to take forward an order to actually --to pursue someone for calling in falsified complaints remaining anonymously, then it's no longer anonymous. It then becomes public record. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Right. I want to make sure I understano our process, though. So if somebody calls in and says, I don't warnt ~o give you my name, but I have a complaint against my neighbo , it's a code violation, I want you to look into it, you do investigat itl? MR. FRENCH: If it's a life-safety issue, yes, sir. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. But let's say it's no a ife-safety issue. Let's say it's my neighbor's got a boat o somet-Hing or he's got something in his backyard that I don't like or his cl og 15arks all the time. MR. FRENCH: Well, what we would 80 is we'd send an investigator by. • ~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: You woultl, ~ven though it's -- MR. FRENCH: They're in the n€ighborhood, anyway, sir. So we would go by. We would take a 100k at it, that code enforcement officer. He may not --that bo t ay sit there for a few weeks. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Okay. MR. FRENCH: B t af the end of the day, that would be a controlling case tllat he we have conversation with the property owner. COMMIS~IO ER McDANIEL: Boat owner. COMMI SIONER FIALA: That happens every single time; you send somel§o8J out? -~. FRENCH: No. No, ma'am. This is something most recent that we~ € recently initiated. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: Oh, okay. MR. FRENCH: And, again, this is primarily as a result back from Mike and I working together, working with the community, working with the Sheriffs Office, but even, more importantly, working with Plante Moran on how we're actually conducting business and how Page 221 November 13, 2018 we compare to other communities around the nation. MR. OCHS: We will retrain or reinforce in our code enforcement officers the current policy and make sure they're advising anonymous complainants to work through their commission office. COMMISSIONER FIALA: And then another thing you said ~ou don't have a uniform anymore or --~ '\ ~ MR. FRENCH: They're in county uniform. I'm sorry. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: But --well, what did Y,0U sa3/? MR. FRENCH: I'm sorry. They're no longer in military type of a --or a police type of an outfit. It's very friendly. It' ery open. It's much like any other county -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Just a T shirt, iglit? MR. FRENCH: No, ma'am. It's a po~o-type collared county-labeled shirt. It's clearly identified t at they're a county employee. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: O)Ka '. Because I've had a few complaints from people not --tMey'l e afraid to answer their door -- don't forgot we're talking abou some tough neighborhoods here. CHAIRMAN SOLIS. Yep. COMMISSIONER FIALA: They don't want to answer that door. They want to know that if there's --the guy at the other end is really a guy that works for tl}a:t. They can say anything through the door. MR. FRE CH: Yes, ma'am. COM . l~S ONER FIALA: And so you have to be a little bit more careful about that. And I think it's helped to have some type of a unif0m1 er at least a code enforcement sign or something. MR. FRENCH: If you --they are driving a county marked vehicle. And if you look at the picture on the -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: I don't have one. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: There isn't one. MR. FRENCH: --on your screen --I'm sorry. Page 222 November 13, 2018 Troy, could you pull up that first slide. You'll see this is our code enforcement uniform, and it's clearly marked on their shirts that they're a Collier County employee. They wear their name badge where it's visible, and it's a county-issued uniform, so you can clearly identify that it is a county employee. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay. Now, what about a pl e@ that's in disrepair all the time and maybe has a business that · o don't want to have in that neighborhood, is there --and it continu €s o repeat itself and, you know, arrests and everything and it continu~s to repeat itself, what can you do about that? MR. OSSORIO: Good morning, Commissioner . ·or the record, Mike Ossorio, Collier County Code Enforcemen . We just amended our operating proce dures that relates to repeat and reoccurring violations. And like.Jamie m entioned, that we're working really closely with the Sh@F if'fs @ffice as we speak as it relates to any kind of drug houses, any kintl o f blight houses, any kind of damaged houses from the hurri eane. Most recently we wef e ~olik1ng over in Plantation Island. There's a lot of damage out there, s 0 e're working with the Building Department and the Fire Department and also the Sheriffs Office as well. So we ju t twe$ed our anonymous complaints, and we just tweaked our aoility for repeat violations. So I believe next month we'll probably ha e 'buge number on the code enforcement --actually, in East . a_gles area, we have about 33 repeat violations going back in front 0.f the Code Enforcement Board. So we're looking at all that, too , as w e ]I. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Okay, good. And let me just make a comment on the record. I've called Jamie before with different problems . I don't care if it's a new parking lot that has just --or rather new car sales that have just gone up in a parking lot off the beaten path Page 223 November 13, 2018 with new things or whether it be complaints or whatnot, and he's been great. When we've needed him to come about with pickleball things, he's able to clean up a neighborhood so that it wasn't a disgrace for us to look at, and he works closely with Jay Maholland who just thi riR s the world of him, and I think the world of Jay as well. So it's a gClo cl team over there. Thank you. ~ MR. OCHS: It's a great team. Thank you. 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Taylor, briefi¥. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, just --h -' g@i ng to be upset that I'm saying it, but the change in the p @licy · s because of Jeff Klatzkow, who I reached out to for a home in tHe CRA district. And he just --he's making things happen when ~~'s repeated, repeated problems. • ~ 'ti COMMISSIONER McDANI~L: That was that consent-agenda item that we talked about earlier? COMMISSIONER TAYL@R· Yes, yes, yes. COMMISSIONER McD NIEL: Right. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: I reached out to the legal minds, gentlemen. ✓ CHAIRM SOLIS: So do you need any direction, a motion for anything to con inu he way we have been? MR. FRE CH: No, sir. We are acting within the current policy, and we'll c@ n iµue to navigate through. And if we have any concerns, we'll eeiit ainly share them with our commissioners. ~&A IRMAN SOLIS: Great. Thank you. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Are we done? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I think so. COMMISSIONER FIALA: No. Don't tell me we're at the end of our --it's only 5:00. Page 224 November 13, 2018 Item #15 STAFF AND COMMISSION GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS MR. OCHS: Commissioners, that takes us to Item 15, staff ancl commission general communications. ~ I'll just give you a brief reminder on your upcoming wor~l\ops. You have two workshops on February the 5th, one in the , Qming having to do with your transit system, and at 1 p.m. o e~ruary 5th you're going to have your fertilizer workshop that th€ :S oard had requested. And then on March 5th you're going to --you'r e scheduled for your discussion on Future Land Use Map an0 the buildout projections that you asked to get scheduled fora.wo ks p in the spring. And the only other thing I have i --and we've referenced it several times today with the adven o tne successful sales-tax referendum. I'm going to bring an ·t ern back to the Board at the next meeting that kind of lays @1l t, -r am our perspective, the general implementation plan as w ee it. I'll show you a little bit about, at least at this point, our p eliminary schedule for the projects, let you assign priorities t 0 those as you'd like, and I think that way we can keep the mo e tum going. Mr. Klat R'.ow' s office, as you know, has already advertised for applicants For y our citizens oversight committee. Probably bring that back i j anuary if we get enough applicants at that point. it. KLATZKOW: We've got many, many applicants. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: I'm getting emails. MR. KLATZKOW: Very, very capable people. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: This is, yeah, very, very . . 1mpress1ve. MR. KLATZKOW: You're going to have the pick of the litter on Page 225 November 13, 2018 this one. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Very impressive. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oh, good. I hope Mike has been sending --has your assistant been sending -- CO MMIS SI ONER TAYLOR: Yeah. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: --then where to send them and , e application and so forth? Good. I hope Mike has been doing that too. I think he has. ,t , COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: I'm sure he has. ~~ MR. OCHS: That's all I have, Mr. Chairman. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And whe is tll to implemented? MR.

COMMI83.IOJ'jE R McDANIEL: No, I have no comments, just a particular statement. And, you know, oftentimes things go through our consent ageno@i and summary agendas unsung, but I would like to offer accolacl~s ta Commissioner Saunders for your work --didn't mean to wa e 0:u, up --but the work and the efforts that you have going on in G0 den Gate City. On the summary agenda, the economic zone, dev lopment zone that you're implementing there for Golden Gate City, I think's going to be a huge benefit. I've seen the initiatives, I've watched what you have going on, and those are going to be amazing things for that community. Far past due. Page 226 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you. I appreciate you saying that, and I appreciate the support the Board has given in terms of doing that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Sure. There you are. That's all I had, sir. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: That's right. ~ '\ ~ MR.

And we n ver thought about doing that. And so they said, well, you on ght t © meet with him and find out what he's doing so he can help us, @o. They're talking about things like Naples Manor and --welt, there's quite a few sections. • And they want to know how t 0 d @ it1 and I said, well, maybe you-all could have a meeting with n im.

COMMISSIONERS IJNDERS: Well, I'll be happy to meet with anybody that wants to alk about any of those types of issues. Obviously, you an~I cannot meet with the community together. COMMI8 SIO~ER FIALA: I don't know. It's not something we would have to "\l o e on, I guess, or -- COM .1~8 ONER SAUNDERS: It would be a Sunshine issue. ~O ]')fISSIONER FIALA: Maybe so. Okay, fine. So then I'll haNe tR em arrange -- OO MMISSI ONER SAUNDERS: Just have them call me. COMMISSIONER FIALA: --to call you. Okay, good. That was on my list, by the way. And then the --and second on that list but same --under the same topic, Happy Birthday. It was a -- Page 227 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Thank you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I hope it was a wonderful day. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It was. It was very nice. Thank you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: The third thing was a little bit of a proud thing. I love to see all the sports that are coming to the Eas Naples area. It is so exciting. Here we have watersports at S gtlen and three different competition things, and there was --I bli ught it in. Who did I give it to? I brought a picture of it in. Oh, gave it to the fellows over there, those guys sitting in the head seats --o show the boats up in the air and flipping around. It was on erfuI. But, anyway, that's there. So that's there right at Sugden Park. And then you go right around the corner and ast Naples Community Park where we're having tournaments b~gilll ng shortly with the pickle ball starting in January, I think, anct a lot of tournaments every single month, and then the big gun ~o ing right after that. It's wonderful. Then right around the comer from that we have the Botanical Garden, the jewel in --our cs rown over there. Good things are happening, and that's exeiting. And of all things, we have the swimming pool and, lo and behold, they had swim meet in there. I think that --we've never seen that before over th et€, and the place has been so crowded. Eleven school buses the ot , et · ay. I'm sitting there watching. I go over. And I'm sittin tliere watching, and all of a sudden who walks by? Steve Camell. · e said, I knew you'd be here. So I wanted to tell you about And the last thing is, it's a little bit of business here instead good-news stuff, and that is I got a letter --or a request from a guy named Jim Lang. He's very involved with the veterans, and he said a state bill is being introduced to exempt sales tax on primary housing Page 228 November 13, 2018 due to being in a disaster zone and requiring to relocate until such time the owner/renter can move back in. At present, this relocation is subject to both sales and tourist taxes in case --in cases of 180 days or less. They would be required to show a lease or homestead in the case of an owner. I believe the county would have to allow the tourist portion of this tax. This would ,apIQ ly to federal disaster area and could be done as an exemption or fi e 0r a rebate on those fees. I can be reached at so and so numbeli. I , ank you for attending yesterday's --oh. ~ So, anyway, he's wanting to know ifwe can do tn a here for our sales tax and for our tourist tax. And I don't knew wh to send him to. MR. OCHS: If I could just have that corre5pondence, ma'am, I'll reach out to him. Q COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oka~, go0B I will do that. Thank you very much, and thank you for Y,Ql1 indulgence. Happy Thanksgiving. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Ha ~y ['hanksgiving. Commissioner TayloF. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: Well, I had the experience of reacquainting myself wi h tne swamp buggy competition a couple weeks ago. COMMI83.IOJ'jER McDANIEL: Were you the official flagger? COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No, I wasn't, but I can tell you how excitin~ it was. Now, I know this sounds strange because I reme Ber u · pty-ump years ago, '78, 79, photographing swamp bu~ it-isn't your grandmother's swamp buggy anymore. OHAIRMAN SOLIS: It ain't your grandmama's -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And I know that they don't have heads and beds, I don't know that they don't draw, yet, from other communities, but I would like to see what we can do to promote this, because it's one of those things that makes our county unique. Page 229 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER FIALA: That's right. I agree. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: No one else has swamp buggies, and it's exciting. COMMISSIONER FIALA: My son brought people from Id ho. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It used to be on ESPN. I remember watching it at an airport one night when I was, I thi . , ,· Michigan or someplace. There was the Naples swamp buggie . don't know if they still do that. COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: They haven't acl~e ised on ESPN for probably eight, 10 years. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Why do 't o bring that to the Tourist Development Council in terms of -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well, I talked to staff, and they said, Penny, it's not heads and beds .• I mean 'ack Wert -- COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : could be. COMMISSIONER TA YLORJ : ell, you know, to me, if --it's a draw. COMMISSIONERS~ 1 • ID ERS: If there's --if there was a way to get --if there was a way o get some television coverage, it would be heads and beds. It would be advertising. COMMISS , ©NER McDANIEL: Absolutely. I mean, it's --I remember wh@n it wJ1uld --it used to be downtown, and then it was over on Radio Road -- COM .1~8IONER TAYLOR: Oh, I photographed it on Radio Road. ,~- ~6)MMISSIONER McDANIEL: --and now it's out on 951. So, mean, it's the heritage of Collier County. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: And what they're designed --I mean, I know this sounds strange for those of you that aren't into swamp buggy, but look at the designs of these buggies and look at how powerful they are. Page 230 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: Those are all my friends, so ' you re -- COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. So what can we craft to -- well, chair of the TDR right here, that's you. COMMISSIONER FIALA: I could take it back to the TDC tRis month. I think we meet shortly. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, at the end of the --l tl on't know. Soon. Do you meet in December or November? his is November. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Usually on the fo nrtfi ~onday, but we didn't meet this fourth Monday. Maybe it's --I de:ur 't mow. I know we have another meeting before the end of the year. I can bring it back. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: .Oka~. , d I'll be in the audience when you do. ~ . COMMISSIONER FIALA: oorl . That would be Just great. COMMISSIONER TA YL@R; I just think it's very important now to make our county a dE a fu esides --because of all the issues we're having. COMMISSIONER FIALA: "Unique" was a perfect word. COMMISS l©NER TAYLOR: Unique. And so that's another issue that I'm w orkiq g on. I'm trying to gain support from other counties to --as ing the legislature to set aside a dedicated fund to convert sep ie t el sewer. And this is not a fund that could be raided like a Sad© ski -nd. This is when a project is ready , there's money there. ow , you know, we're not all ready for our projects. And so I'm ta k ing to a couple folks up in Lee County. I've already talked to one commissioner. Unfortunately, because it's lobbying the state, we can't do it through the RPC, which I was hoping we can. But we can't. But it's kind of on that same pattern, and I hope that I have your support for that. Page 231 November 13, 2018 COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: Sure, absolutely. The governor did --for a couple years, they had set aside $50 million, but it was an annual appropriation for septic to sewer. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Okay. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: There's a precedent for th~ state spending money for that. They've done it the last several Me r , but there's no dedicated funds. It's just an annual statement. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: We need to have it --we need to show folks who are deciding that they will not come to So th Florida anymore because they're worried about red tide that we'Fe serious about taking care of our water. And I think this might e one way to do it. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It would be a very good way. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: .N rnw,. r Gourse, Pine Ridge is not included in the septic to sewer. ~ COMMISSIONER FIALA: Ol li, tney can't get out of it. COMMISSIONER TA YL@R ; I had to. CHAIRMAN SOLIS : M u 11.ad to throw me under the bus. COMMISSIONER T YLOR: I did. I did. But, you know, we' e struggling now with, for instance, just briefly, what haJ2p€ned with the Ridge Street and Frank Whiteman and that area, is that e ~ame after a lot of hard work --the city came through at about, what, 22-, 26,000 a house. And through very hard work with ine~~d ible contributions of the county in this stormwater sewe Foj e t, we reduced that assessment to 13-. o it-doesn't mean that folks would be given it, but it would mean tRa it ould help offset it and encourage folks to do this. Okay. Got it. Great. Thank you very much. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I have one item. With the passage of the sales tax, I realize that it takes years to collect all of Page 232 November 13, 2018 these funds, but there's --we have set aside $30 million for the veterans nursing home. Under the state program and the federal program for developing these, it takes a lot of time. And I'd like to get the Commission to amend our legislative agenda, both state and federal, to direct our lobbyists to pursue funding for a veterans nursing home. Start tliaf tnis year. It may take a year or two to move that along. But if th · lobbyists know and the state and federal officials know that we ha B 3ID million, that we will have that at some point, I'd like to ee that added to our agenda. So, again, it will take a couple years to a€cumulate money, but it will also take a couple years to ge a12proval. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It could be a nice site next to a park. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: It eo uld ' e. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Oi;_ a g0lf Gourse. COMMISSIONER SAUNDB S : I could be on a school site. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Manatee. COMMISSIONER TA YL@R· Manatee. I was thinking Manatee. COMMISSIONER Nt~DANIEL: No, no, no. Don't go there. COMMISSIONER SAUNDERS: I thought maybe that football field over at Na les High would be a good location for it. COMMI 8S IO~ER FIALA: That golf course. How do we preserve that so we'd have a place for it? COM . l~SIONER SAUNDERS: Good question. But anyway, I'd li ~e t0 -- ~6>MMISSIONER McDANIEL: I like that idea. Moving it up on ouF p · orities now gets us moving right into it. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Well --and then if I have concurrence --and I'm going to piggyback on what you're saying -- could we also, working with our County Attorney and our County Manager, have a request for a dedicated fund and get that in front of Page 233 November 13, 2018 them? Because I'm --I have no illusions that that isn't --this is going to happen like, you know, magic. But ifwe don't step up and say, look, state legislators, we need this money. Please start putting money aside for it -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: It was part of Senator Passidomo's ~ platform for her campaign. If you go to her website, sewer to s,ep b~ is one of her main --that's one of her three platform statements .~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: But how? Give mei H~ mechanics. We need money. ~ .,_,, CHAIRMAN SOLIS: No . I'm suggesting that -eah, I think Senator Passidomo is on board with that. ~ COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Good. ► , COMMISSIONER McDANIEL: HoNV d we get from the veterans facility back to the sewer to.se ti~? COMMISSIONER TAYLO~: B €cause both of them will be put on your legislative agenda, amend he legislative --if there's an agreement. COMMISSIONERS~ ' · ID ERS: And let me ask the manager. I'm assuming that this cou o be added. We don't need to come back at a public meeting. We're i a public meeting. MR. OCHS : Y es , sir. This is direction, yes. COMMIS~IO~ER TAYLOR: All right, great. Wonderful. Thank you. CHAl&Nzjt\N SOLIS: Commissioner Saunders, that's all? Okay. Ji ave 'een told that I've been remiss, and I have to talk about the A ~ist o the Month. OOMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yes, you have. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: The Artist of the Month is Collier County resident Deborah Martin. Deborah's inspiration comes from her love for the environment of South Florida and from her concern for our water bodies and their inhabitants. Page 234 November 13, 2018 She creates beautiful paintings that show the fragility of nature, and her hope is to inspire the viewer to look more lovingly at our flora and fauna and the Gulf of Mexico. Deborah's art has been exhibited in several shows and galleries nationwide, and they're really spectacular. They're in the back. ~ Couple of other things. One, I'd like to go ahead and, ifw,e oa11, start thinking about the mental-health workshop for this coming ear. Things, I think, are going to be happening with the passage o f the sales tax. So maybe June is usually, I think, when we've done it MR. OCHS: Yeah. I've got a little placeholder fou f une, Commissioner. Last time we talked about this, there , as some discussion about the committee putting together a strategic plan. And once I know that's ready to go, then we ca , -- CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. • MR. OCHS: --we can schedu le thal orkshop, and you'll have the opportunity to review that in adwa ce. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Riglit. 1\nd the --I've been working on the resolution for the ad hoc cemmi1tee. MR. OCHS: Yes. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: And that will be coming up at the next meeting in Dece er; I believe so. MR. OC. , $: ~es. CHAI ~N SOLIS: That will be on the next meeting, okay, the next agenda. ,Som.e good-news items. There's a couple things going on today ana W e ch;i.esday at the accelerator that somebody's asked me to just l5ring orward. It's Global Entrepreneurship Week, and there's going to be two events at the Naples Accelerator. One this evening and one tomorrow. The one tonight is by Lasting Links, which is a member of the Naples Accelerator that help seniors and elderly and their families protect their Page 235 November 13, 2018 finances and guide them through steps before they lose their faculties and become vulnerable to financial predators. So that's going to be an interesting presentation. It's open to the public. Also, tomorrow at 9 a.m. --I'm sorry. Tonight, that's from 5:30 to 7:00. So if anybody's interested, you can run over there. From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. tomorrow, they're debuting the 1 Mi l1 1@h Cups Naples, which is a Kaufmann Foundation program, and there's going to be presentations by one of the accelerator membe1's, Logiscool, which, if you haven't seen this, it's a fascinating thing. It's kind of an after-school program for kids and teens that, tl ' sentially, through games and things, teaches them how to Great € code. It's fascinating and the kids -- CO MMIS SI ONER McDANIEL: Crea t e what? CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Code, comnt1 teF c 0 de. COMMISSIONER McDANI~L : Oh, okay. COMMISSIONER TAYLORJ : Gln , yeah. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Yea . tA nd they've been started by a couple of entrepreneurs, ~ !f from Hyper Team, which is another member, and also our own ~elix Lluberes, who we probably all know, that's created several companies. And then th€F e's another one. The other company that's presenting is Ma e t}, a voice-first design company that specializes in building voice eKperiences for older adults and families through Alexa and Google. S:0 these are companies that are working with technology that's r eaU y 0n the cutting edge. So I thought I'd mention that. h,as -s I would just --I'm going to stand up for portables . I spent m 0 t 0f my high school career in a portable. It was actually an upgrade from the rest of the school that didn't have air-conditioning. The portables always had air-conditioning, which was great. So it ain't so bad. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Let me say, I've been told portables, Page 236 November 13, 2018 they can't stay in the portables when it rains. They have to go into the schools. CHAIRMAN SOLIS: I spent many a day in a rainy portable. Very good. COMMISSIONER TAYLOR: Yeah, they stay in them in t ~ rain. ~ '\~ CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Okay. ~ MR. OCHS: Happy Thanksgiving, Commissioners. 0 CHAIRMAN SOLIS: Thank you.
