STANLEY HOLE, REPRESENTING THE S.F.W.M.D. EXPRESSED THANKS TO THE BCC FOR BOARD ACTION REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 80-8; THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE DISTRICT'S WATER PLAN PRESENTATION. AND THE ,CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES Chairman Wenzel welcomed Mr. Stanley Hole, representing the South Florida Water Management District, and Mr. Hole stated that he is here tOday to express thanks on behalf of the District for the recent actions the Board has taken regarding various water management related matters. He said the first of which is the adoption of Resolution No. 80-8 regard- ing the County's objection to the inclusion in the Biscayne Aquifer's designation as a contributor to subject aquifer. He noted that this has been amended by the EPA and at this point in time, to include only a small portion of Collier County lying in the north-westerly part of the County. He stated that it is his feeling and that of the District that ~esolution No. 80-8 hds been fruitful in relieving the major part of the County from another layer of scrutiny on the part of the DER.o thus, eliminating the need for more review and discretion for Federally funded programs in the future. The second topic that Mr. Hole covered was the Board's acceptance and approval of the S.F.W.M.D.'s Water Use Plan for South West Florida. He thanked the Board for allowing the District to use the Board chambers as a forum for presentations regarding the subject Plan. 1--'. ] L1 , I - ~~ ~ ~ K3 March 11, 1980 Mr. Hole concluded his presentation by thanking the Board, through the efforts of the staff, for the good working relationship between the County and the District and he stated that the District is grateful for all the cooperation on the part of the Commissioners toward this end. Chairman Wenzel accepted the expressions of thanks on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners and extended their thanks for Mr. Hole's presentation. lI;:j PETITION CP-79-10-C, CHARLES KELLER, REQUESTlr:G A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SHADOWLAWN ,DRIVE AT THE END OF CONNECTICUT AVENUE (PLANNING) - CONTINUED TO APRIL 8, 1980 Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on February 24, and March 5, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider a proposed Ordinance re Petition CP-79-10=C, requested by Charles Keller, for a Comvrehensive Plan Amendment from 0-6.22 residential land use to 6.22- 30 residential land use for property located on lot 30, Naples Grove and Truck Company's Little Farms, on the west side of Shadowlawn Drive at the end of Connecticut Avenue. Planner Lee Layne explained that the subject petition is for a Com- prehensive Plan Amendment that would allow Mr. Keller to construct a Planned Unit Development for rental units with a density of 20 units per acre, thus the request for an increase in the residential land use category from 0-6.22 to 6.22-30 units her acre. She pointej out the location of the subject proposed development on overhead maps and stated that since the time of the original CAPC and CCPA reviews and public hearings there have been'some additional revised plans submitted for the project. She asked the Board if they preferred to hear the petition today, or if they would want to forward the subject petition with the revisions to the Planning Commission as they made their recommendations based on the original plans with the traffic outlet onto Shadowlawn Drive only? Commissioner Wimer stated that it was his opinion that if r~vised plans have been submitted,~the standard procedure has been to send the petition back to the respective agencies for another review based on the latpst plans. ~~u~ Ir!

Motion seconded by Commissioner Wimer. Chairman Wenzel asked for comments from the registered speakers and Mrs. Marguerete Peterson, representing her aging aunt who resides on Shadowlawn Drive and cannot be present, explained that she and her husband, Jerome, have traveled a great distance to present their objections to the subject project and will not be able to attend a meeting of later date than today. She requested the public hearing continue and the Board hear the speakers registered today. Mr. Eckert. representing the applicant, stated that he has no objection to the motion on the floor. Chainnan Wenzel noted that the registered speakers seem to want to be heard today, as indicated by the County Manager who suggested they each be given the opportunity to speak if they wish, or take the option of reserving comment for a later time if the public hearing is to be continued. He stated that today's date has been advertised as the date of the public hearing and ,an unidentified gentleman from the audience voiced his objection to not having the public hearing at this time. Chairman Wenzel explained that any objections voiced today will be considered if the public hearing is continued. Several members of the audience stated their Objection to continuing the public hearing saying that they could not be present at a subsequent meeting. Commissioner Wimer stated that if anyone wishes to speak regarding the subject petition, he is in favor of hearing their opinions; however. the reason for the proposed continuance of the public hearing is to send the petition through the whole process again due to the newly submitted plan revisions. :t l l; , Hr. Richard Lansdale, Attorney for the petitioner, ,)sked if the people voicing opposition are allowed to speak. then, are the representatives of the petitioner also allowed to speak? Chairman Wenzel answered affinnatively. He requested that anyone that cannot attend another public hearing on this matter. to send their statement to the BCC and their statement will be read at the time of the continued public hearing. Chairman Wenzel asked the r-l r-1 ,--, '-., .~. CJ 'J t:::I March 11, 1980 members if they were agreeable to hearing the registered speakers and it was the consensus of the Board to h'lar the speakers' remarks. It W&. determined that April 8, 1980 would be the earliest time that the subject petitions could be rescheduled and that March 20, 1980 would be the date which the CAPC and CCPA would review same petitions. Mr. Jerome Peterson spoke in opposition to the Petition, citing poor drainage plans. heavy traffic, and potential hazards regarding the sewage aspect of the project as his reasons. He clarified his opposition as mainly directed against the outlet for traffic onto Shadowlawn Drive, in the middle of the block, between Connecticut and Linwood Avenues. He explained the many possiblp traffic problems he felt will occur and offered the alternative of swinging same outlet to the North end of the development, or, perhaps the County should install a light at the outlet. Chairman Wenzel asked that Mr. Peterson put his objections in writing and Planning Director Crew stated that he would guarantee that a copy of the minutes of today's meeting will be furnished to the appropriate agencies prior to the meeting date of March 20, 1980. The subject of density was discussed and Chairman Wenzel noted his displeasure with the "runaway growth" problems of today in Collier County. There was some difference of opinion as to whether or not children would be allowed in the subject project and Mr. Peterson stated that the Engineer for the Petitioner told him there would be nohe while Planner Layne said that the PUD allows for children. Mr. Jerry Eckert, Engineer with Bruce Green & Associates and repre- senting the petitioner, expounded on the plans that the petitioner has for the subject project including the fact that the units are to be one-bedroom and rented to adults only. He added that it is the intent of the petitioner to tie into the existing force main on Linwood Avenue for sewage and if this is not available initially, then, an on-site package treatment plant will be provided. He explained that the projcct is intended as a "phase" type of development with only approximately one building being built per year. over the ~ext eight or nine years all of which will be single-story buildings except the last one which will be two stories and will acccmnodate scxne 24 units. He further explained that the outlet that Mr. Peterson objected to will service only the last projected building and the project is designed in such a way so as to discourage the other tenants from using this outlet. eo~~ 052 fACE 75 . ,~::';'." h~.' , ."\, \.:!)'t::.(I'!I)l~n:~~"l'E'f(~;" 'n:': BOOK 052 PAI:E 78 March 11. 1980 There was some discussion as to the density projected for the subject project and Planner Lee Layne stated that Sclme will be 20 units per acre. During the discussion there was a question of what the major differences were between the present plans and those originally submitted. Planner Lee Layne said that the major difference is the. addition of the other entrance/ exit streets in the development designed to alleviate traffic on one street. Planning Director Crew stated that CAPC's main objection to the proposed project was with the number of streets in the original plans. Dr. Crew also explained that the subject petition was proposed prior to the new low-entry level Ordinance but that it is patterned somewhat similar to the regulations in same. I I I I I Regarding the redesigning of the one artery that leads onto Shadowlawn Avenue from the proposed project, Mr. Eckert stated that he has no objection to moving this to the northern part of the development if the Board wishes. Mrs. Peterson spoke in opposition to the hearing being continued and pointed out that she understood from earlier talks with Planner Lee Layne that there would be no problems with holding the pUblic hearing and the Board making their decision today. She requested the public hearing not be continued, rather, that the Board consider the objections of the people present and make a decision tOday. Ms. Layne explained that the BCC can make their decision based on the new material submitted and that the CAPC reviews the revised plans prior to the traffic Engineer reviewing any traffic impact aspect of a PUD. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the traffic impact after which Commissioner Archer stated that he wants the public to be aware that the BCC is fully aware of the drainage. septic tank, and traffic problems of the subject area, and that BCC's final decision will be in the best interest of the people that live in the respective area. He said that the qu~st:~n that must be decided at this point in time is whether the Board is going to try to "redesign" the development, or if the Board's going to send it to the proper professionals on the staff for proper change? He said that he is not at all sure the Board will approve a change in density from 0-6.22 to one allowing 20 units per acre. r--'.' ~\ v- I - II c:J IDI a:JI March 11, 1980 The discussion included zoning violations that Mr. Peterson noted, and Chairman Wenzel requested anyone kno~ing of any such zoning violations bring them to the BCC's attention. Commissioner Archer asked for clarification from Planner Layne as to what the original recommendation was regarding the subject petition. Ms. Layne stated that the staff recommendation is for approval. the CApe recom- mendation is for denial; and the CCPA recommended denial based on the traffic on Shadowlawn Drive. Chairman Wenzel stated that he "reads between the lines" of all these recommendations that the traffic cannot be handled that the increase in density will bring. Ms. Layne stated that the traffic engineer made no objections when the plans were submitted and members of the audience that claim to have been at the CCPA meeting regarding the subject petition stated that the traffic engineer did object. Mrs. Robert Swaine, resident of Connecticut Avenue stated that the traffic engineer said there are some 6,400 cars on Shadowlawn Drive each day at the present time. She also voiced her objection to the entire concept of the project, and opposed any low-illcome housin.g in the area. Cleone Murry, resident of Connecticut Avenue, spoke in opposition to the Petition and noted that she is unaware of any exit to Kirkwood through the warehouses that are presently standing between the proposed project and Kirkwood Avenue and noted that the Engineer for the project has said traffic ~ould be diverted to said street through the newest design regarding streets in the project that lead out to existing arteries. Ms. Murry stated that she and her neighbors object to the projected traffic density. Mrs. Amy Marcham, reserved her comments and requested that she and her neighbors be duly notified as to the time and date of the next public hearing. Planning Director Crew invited all interested parties to come to the CCPA meeting of March 20, 1980 at 8:30 A.M. and Chairman Wenzel suggested thot if they cannot attend, they should send their statements in writing, to staff, fo; consideratio~ at subject meeting. Hattie Keffer, resident on Connecticut Avenue, objected to the traffic increase that will be present if the SUbject development is allowed. Cathy Cooksley, resident on Linwood Avenue stated that she is aware of other such projects that the petitioner has built and is not pleased with them, therefore, she is against the project. She explained that the value BO~K 052 PACE 71 - -..".,' -,......,--"~- BOOK OS! :rAtE 7B March 11, 1980 of properties in the area will drop if the developer is allowed to build low-cost housing. She also said she ~~ concerned with traffic and density. The Chairman called for the question on the floor. The motion to refer the petition back to the appropriate aaencies carried by 4/1 vote, Chairman Wenzel votin9 in opposition. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner and carried unanimously, that the public hearing regarding Petition CP-79-10-C, be continue until April 8, 1980. PETITION R-79-43-C, CHI',RLES KELLER, REQUESTING REZONING FROM "RM-2" MULTI-FAMILY TO "PUD" PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ON THE WEST SIDE OF SHADOWLAWN DRIVE AT THF. END OF CONNECTICUT AVENUE (PLANNING) - PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED TO APRIL 8, 1980 Le9al notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on February 8, 19BO, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication on file with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Petition R-79-43-C, Charles Keller, requesting a rezoning from "RM_2" to "PUD" on lot 30, Naples Grove & Truck Company's Little Farms located on the west side of Shadowlawn Drive at the end of Connecticut Avenue.

ORDINANCE NO. 80-27 RE PETITION CP-79-15-C, ART DAVIS, FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT ON PART OF LOT 115, LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF KELLY ROAD _ ADOPTED - PETITIONER'S AGREEMENT TO STIPULATIONS ACCEPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on February 24, and March 5, 1980 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider an Ordinance re Petition CP-79-15-C by Art Davis in which he is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from 0-6.22 to 6.22-30 residential land use on part of lot 115, Naples Grove & Truck Company's Little Farms and part of the NW ~ of Section 13, T50S, R25E, located on the west side of Kelly Road, 1/2 block south of Areca Avenue. Planning Director Danny Crew pointed out the exact location of the proposed project on an overhead map and stated that Mr. Davis' petition is the first one the County is revieWing that falls under the regulations and guidelines of the new low entry-level Ordinance adopted by the Board to encourage lower income housing in the County. He stated that the staff feels . r---1 \1 \r-:-"\ "",,,,,,. <,':;', ~" .;';~~~ Ll -=- C.J March 11, 1980 that the proposed site as well as the preliminary site plan that has been submitted is very appropriate for I:i'is type of housing. Dr. Crew reported that staff highly recommends the approval of Petition CP-79-15-C as does the CAPC. There was a brief discussion regarding the private sector being willing to enter the low-income housing market. the work of the Board and staff towards this end; and the need for said type of housing in the County. Dr. Crew reported that Mr. Davis has met all of the stipulations that the Planning Deparbnent has requested of him including allowing children in the complex. leases available; and reasonable proposed rental costs. Planner Lee Layne further explained the proximity of the proposed projec to the Board and explained that the development will be bordered by Areca and Barrett Avenue. She explained that a comprehensive plan amendment is necessa for the petitioner because the property in question presently is designated in the 0-6.22 units per acre classification and in order to qualify for the entry-level housing, the property must be classified in the 6.22-30 units per acre designation. Mr. Tom Peek, of Wilson, Miller, Barton, Soll & Peek representing the Petitioner, stated that his firm prepared the Zoning application and the exhibits and are present to answer any questions the Board may have. He said that the petitioner, Arthur Davis, is in the audience, and is available for any questions also. Mr. Peek explained the proposed development including the fact that it would encompass some 11-~ acres on Kelly Road. He said the water service is planned to connect with that on Kelly Road and there will be an on-site package treatment plant for sewage; the storm water management system will be developed to meet the County regulations and that of the SFWMD and plans for same will be submitted for approval prior to construction. Mr. Peek said that the traffic impact has been considered, and that Kelly Road is scheduled for four-laning before 1985 in the County Master Plan, and the traffic engineer has agreed that the current loadings of the projected traffio Cdn sufficiently be handled by Kelly Road, with its stipulation that the developer provide a left-turn storage lane to the entranc of the project. He said the petitioner has agreed to do so. He further stated that all stipulations contained in the staff report and from the CAPe have been agreed to by the petitioner. bO:)~ O52:n.tt 79 l"W" I'~'J-. .....,..''/., ~ ' ... ~'. ~,1" '~ o.:L ~~~..;,' ,)~~~t~~;~, ....r., -,' 'I' ';.\W;., ';'r'l.~ ;;.jii''''(l..+~~,h! 11'" " '_'~;' \. 3 '<:.~,i!'~~ &OOK 052 Pm 80 March 11. 1980 There was a brief discussion regarding the petitioner's experience with this type of development as ~Iell "s the fact that this project has been modeled to the regulatfons of the entry-level housfng Ordfnance adopted by the County. Also discussed was the legal alternatives to keeping these type of developments from becomfng condominiums, and Ms. Layne stated that the PUD documents that this project will fall under limits this project to strictly multi-family rental dwellings. She said that in the event that the change to condominium status would be desired, the developer would have to come before the Board for an amendment to the PUD document. Dr. Crew expounaed on the matter and stated that the PUD document in effect, "stops this from happening, in perpetuity" and that any attempt to do so without receiving an amendment to the PUD from the Board would be a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, owners of an apartment complex adjacent to the proposed development. spoke in opposition to the petition based on the premise of the square feet allowed for each unit as being too small for families with children. This proposed several questions that were answered by Mr. Peek regarding size of units, number of units, and the possibility of co-hab1t~tion of more than one family per unit. It was explained by Mr. Peek that there wfll be an on-sfte supervisor to see that this does not happen. The location of the treatment plant in relation to the Morgan's property and the buffer between the two properties were covered and Mr. Peek assured the Morgans that same would be handled properly and that there would be adequate open space between the two. Another topic brought forth by the Morgans was parking, and they expressed their feeling that 1-~ parking spaces per unit is not adequate. Mr. Peek explained that although this met the requirements of the Zoning regulation, in the event that it is deemed necessary to add more parking, same shall be done. as there is ample land space available. Chairman Wenzel stated that he also feels that the 1-~ spaces for parking 15 inad~quate and that he has instructed staff to look into the matter. Dr. Crew reported that Mr. Virta will be making a study of this aspect of the regulations. Dr. Crew explained the necessity of having similar projects in the County as the one in question today, pOinting out that at this point in time, there is only one major rental complex within the entire County, and that the entry-level Ordinance was specifically adopted to encourage more competition f'----' r-----\ r----1 . ~,,~iI~~~';:/j,~."rJ' ';': c.:J 0' Ell Haren .1.1, 1980 in rental costs in this County. He stated that the density requirements were thought through at length at the time of developing said Ordinance, and he feels they are reasonable. Gild lead to financially feasible construction of projects that can allow for lower rents. however, he will not hesitate to come back to the Board to ask for a repeal of the Ordinance if the purposes behind the entry-level Ordinance are eluded. Hearing that there were no further persons registered to speak, Com- missioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously, th~t the public hearfng be closed. Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and carried 4/1, with Chairman Wenzel opposed, that the Ordinance as numbered and entitled below be adopted and entered into Ordinance Book No. 11, and that the petitioner's agreement to staff stipulations be accepted.

County Engineer Barksdale stated that the requested vacation for the 60 ft. roadway commonly known as Jackson Avenue has been reviewed and that staff has no objections to the vacation; letters of "No objection" have been received from all of the utility companies; and that it will not affect the drainage in the area. He said that staff recommends approval of the requested vacation; however, during the advertising period, staff was contacted by the owner who wished to adjust the line slightly, thus, the roadway will join at the line between Lot 10 and 11, as more fully defined within the Executive Summary. He said that he has visited the site, and a survey of the property indicates that the adjustment will make the line go slightly to the south, extending some 24 feet into Lot 11. He explained that the adjustment will allow for a continuation of Lee Avenue. and there is no conflict with utilities. He recommended that the Board approve this vacation with the aforementioned modification in the legal description.

SLOCI;;.I ~f>lD WILLIAM P. HILT - ADOPTED Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on February 24, 1980 and in the Marco Island Eagle on February 28, 1980. as evidenced by Affidavits of publication filed with the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider the request by William L. Slocum and William P. Hilt for a rear yard setback variance on Lots 35, 36, and 37, Block 18, Collier City, re Petition V-80-2-C. Zoning Director Jeffory Perry presented the petition and located the property in question as slightly north of Jackson Avenue, on Lee Avenue, which is a continuation of Bald Eagle Drive in Collier City. He explained the reason that the 20 ft. variance is being requested is that the lots are narrow, and only 122 ft. deep. He said that the property is made up of three lots, each of them being 25 ft. wide, thus, total dimensions of the property in question are 75 ft. X 122 ft. and he further pointed out that there was a 7-~ ft. alleyway behind the property that was recently vacated, therefore, there is no access to the back portion of the.property and the petitioners wish to move the proposed buildings back to allow the entire front of the property for parking. Mr. Perry stated that it is staff's recommendation to approve the requested variance and allow a reduction of 20 feet in the rear yard setback of the subject property. Mr. Slocum, the petitioner, stated that he has some exhibits that may clarify any questions that the Board has, however, there were no questions brought forth.

Mr. Berzon noted that although he does not anticipate running behind the ol'iginal schedule, some factors are near or slightly behind schedule at least to the point that he feels these requested revisions in the agreement are prudent. He covered the following revisions as the only things that will be changed in the Agreement and requested that the Chairman be authorized to sign same revised agreement and forward it to the City of Naples for their approval: 1. Paragraph 7 shall read "by July 1, 1982" (extending said date 6 months). 2. Paragraph 8 shall read "by July I, 1981" (extending said date 6 months). 3. Pilragraph 8 shall read "limited to 2.75 mgd, etc." (Adding .25 mgd's). Mr. Berzon requested the Board to approve the above changes acting as the "Ex-Officio Governors of the County Water-Sewer District". He added that he and Chairman Wenzel have held informal meetings with the Mayor and Manager of the City of Naples, and they seem to be receptive to the revisions. Commissioner Wimer stated that he is against any more delays in this program, citing delays as costly in so far as construction costs are escalating so rapidly. Commissioner Brown conveyed his disagreement with the proposal, but said he would vote for it because he sees no alternative. He asked Mr. Berzon if all the Engineers for the project are in unison regarding the need for these extensi~ns of time? Mr. Berzon answered affirmatively. Ted Smallwood, consultant for CH2M Hill, explained the problems that have led to the delays to date and recommended approval of the revisions of the Agreement. After a discussion regarding the many delays of the project thus far, Fiscal Officer Harold Hall asked Mr. Berzon for some indication as ,-1 r-l r----, t1;~ ,\.~~'.>>~'ti\..,',~,:W~i:' ';;''':~'\:~Wi;,i,';,:{~l.?\ ,,;I ,.:J (; \""',," , " .

He explained that at this pOint in time more is being spent than is being taken in. Mr. Berzon answered that the County Water Dfstrict should be self- sufficient by the time the proje~t is completed, possibly sooner. Commissioner Archer moved to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement of October 1977, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and the motion carried 4/1, Commissioner Wimer opposed. * * * * * * * * BOOK 052.

DISCUSSION RE REQUESTED RATE INCREASE FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. - EXPENDITURE OF $6,325 FOR ASSOCIATED UTILITY SERVICES, INC., RE RATE CONSULTATION APPROVED - PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR 4/1/80 RE PATE INCREASE AND ADVERTISING AUTHORIZED County Manager Norman reported that representatives of Waste Managemer.t Inc. are present to petition for an increase in rates for services. He stated that prior to this, he would like to fill the Board in on what has taken place regarding said firm. Mr. Norman explained that the franchise for Yahl Bros. Disposal. d/b/a Waste Management Inc., was approved in June of 1979, with the exceptions of the sections pertaining to the precise procedure to be followed in their petitioning for and receiving review and approval for a rate increase. He said that that procedure had to do with an accounting anq auditing fiscal processes, under which a petition for a rate change would be reviewed. Mr. Norman said that the reason for that was that the staff and the County con- sultant felt that because there was some difference with the franchisee as to the particular wording, that it would be best to agree on the particular wording when the County had the opportunity to experience the review the County had in mind. He stressed that there was no difference of opinion regarding the basic prinCiples of the process, but there was some disagree- ment regarding the "wording" of same. Mr. Norman said that the County had anticipated at that time to receive a petition for a rate increase within a matter of 30 to 60 days from the time the franchise was approved, however. one was not forthcoming until this time. Mr. Norman said that staff and representatives of WMI met on February 15, 1980, and at that time WMI indicated that they would petition for a rate increase; same petition was received on February 25. 19BO. and WMI"requested that this matter be placed before the Board on the earliest date possible. Mr. Norman also said that the repre- sentatives from WMI will be requesting a public hearing on the earliest possible date which will be April 1, 1980. BOOK 052 PACE 97 If r 11 ...... ,'?;j:7~~:..,"';" , . BOOK 052 rACE ~ March 11. 1980 Mr. Norman suggested that if the Board agrees to that date. the Board authorize at least a quarter-page display advertisement in both of the local newspapers. as well as the legal advertisements necessary, to insure the public is properly informed on the matter. Mr. Norman also recommended that the Board approve the expenditure of $6.325 for Associated Utility Services, Inc. for providing the County with a .. . rate consultation regarding the proposed increase of Waste Management. Inc. He explained that this fee would cover nine days labor, travel for two trips to Naples. and field investigation. Mr. Norman also requested that the appropriated monies should be reflected in an appropriate budget amendment and show the cost to be borne from the revenue of the WMI Solid Waste Franchise fee. Mr. Norman said that the subject consulting firm has assisted the County thus far with the development of the franchise agreement with WMI and he feels they will be beneficial in aiding the members of the Board towards making a decision that will protect the customers of WMI. Hr. Norman pointed out that this expense was anticipated and the franchise fee will cover the expense, thus, there will be no increase in expenditures from the County's general fund. , Commissioner Pistor asked how much of a rate increase is requ~sted7 Mr. Norman gave the following figures as percentages of rate increases: a. a4~ increase for twice/week "at the door" collection. ($4.40 to $8.10) per mo. b. 91% increase for twice/week "at the curb" collection ($3.40 to $6.50) per mo. c. 116% increase for once/week "at the door" collection ($3.40 to $7.35) per mo. Mr. Ed Bacom, Controller, Yahl Brothers, spoke as the preparer of the petition package. He concurred with Mr. Norman's statements and added that delays have been experienced in be'ng able to prepare a proper report; the "79" data was inappropriate to use because it would have reflected costs greater than he knows to be fair; i~stead, the 1980 budget projections for equipment and personnel, etc. were made to determine what it will take to service Naples. He referred to said report and noted that same has beeQ submitted to the ace. He covered the fact that within the report, there is a detailed outline of projected programs that Yahl Brothers intend to get into in 1980; the relationship to the parent company. and other pertinent information. .--' r-1 ,.--, C:J L::J 1::1 March 11. 1980 There was some discussion of the amount of increase being requested during which Mr. Bacorn explained that there has been no increase in rates in approximately five years, and inflation has taken its toll within the company operations. During the discussion of rates, Commissioner Archer asked Mr. Bacom how long his firm has had the franchise and Mr. Bacorn stated just a little less than a year and a half. Mr. Bacom requested a public hearing on April 1. 1980. Commissioner Archer stated that he did not feel that would allow for adequate time for all the backup material to be furnished to the members of the Board for their consideration. There was a brief discussion regarding the date for a public hearing and Mr. Bacorn stated that his firm is losing some $10.000 per month under the present rates and stressed the need for a public hearing at the earliest possible date. It was the consensus of the Board that. taking all things into consideration April 1, would be the earliest date possible to schedule a public hearing, and Commissioner Archer stated that if he has not received all the needed data within a reasonable time prior to the April 1 date., he would ask for a postponement as he would not make any snap decisions and he wants the time to study the matter carefully. Chairman Wenzel asked if anyone was registered to speak and Mike Zewa1k, resident of North Naples. spoke in opposition to the procedure of billing by WMI. he suggested coupon books for monthly payment. and he noted that he feels the rate increase is excessive. He also stated that the County is not dealing with the original franchise holder and perhaps other interested parties should be invited to bid on the service to allow for cheaper rates. Mr. Norman explained that the County has approved a 7 year franchise and that "bidding" 15 not feasible at this time. There was some discussion regarding the need for another "study" and Chairman Wenzel stated that he is opP05ed to same as suggested by Mr. Norman. At this time Mr. Norman explained that he is recommending an independent financial analysis of WMIts books and a consultation regarding the need for same'frorn the firm he mentioned and not a "study" and Com- missioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried 4/1. that the pUblic hearing be held April 1. 1980 for consideration of WHIts request; that the advertising re same public hearing be authorized in the manner which BO~K 052 PACE 99 ~ ':"! 1;:':t:<<,~'~ :~~~/~ "h", ......... ,,'...;.. ,i.:..:\..J:....:!:,~:.'; i" BO~K 052 ,AeE100 March 11, 1980 I Mr. Nonman has recommended; that the expenditure of $6,325 be approved for services of Associated Utility Services, Inc., ,and same expeflditure be reflected in an appropriate budget amendment that shows the funds for same are borne from the revenue of the franchise fee from WMt. Chairman Wenzel cast the dissenting vote. Mr. Bacom stated that he wishes the Board to be aware that when the financial review is conducted by the consultant, he will find a difference between actual expenditures of WMI's last years' records and the projected costs for 1980, as this is not an actual "ongoing" operation at this point in time. CONTRACTS RE TAP ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM AWARDED TO CLARENCE R. JONES, CONSULTANT, LTD. ($3,125) AND ROBERT F. PAP, AUTOMATED CONCEPTS ASSOC. ($3,125) Administrative Assistant to the County Manager Gene Willett presented a recommendation for the approval of two contracts re the Technical Assist- ance Program regarding the County's Energy Conservation Program. He recalled that on January 4, 1980 the Board approved the application to the Department of Energy for technical assistance in developing a County HVAC system throughout the complex. Mr. Willett stated that the Department of Energy has approved the County's TAP funding, which will be matched by County funds. The appl~ximate amount approved was $7,200, and Mr. Willett asked for approval for the awarding of two contracts for $3,125 each. one to Clarence R. Jones, Con- sultant Ltd.. and the other to Robert F. Pap, Automated Concepts Assoc. He stated that the actual work that is to be completed by the two consultants is defined within the Executive Summary. Chairman Wenzel asked for clarification as to what the intent of the contracts are and County Manager Norman explained that the actual Engineering aspects of the program will be handled through the respective con~ractors. Mr. Willett added that there is some additional infonmation that is required from the Federal Government regarding DOE funding and this will also be furnished. Commissioner Wimer asked where the $6,250 will come from for the funding of .the two contracts, and "'1..

He stated that the exact split is difficult to define at this point in time as the County will be able to provide a part of the funding through "in kind" matching funds after the County has received the finel invoice from the Engineering firm. Hr. Norman stated that the maximum local cost will be 1/2. Chairman Wenzel asked how the "overall costs" of the entire program will be financed? Mr. Willett said the ECM portion is the actual installation of units etc. and the Federal Government has indicated that same funding will be extended to local governments and Collier County is in line as one of the first Counties to receive these funds. He said he is in anticipation of receiVing at least 50% of the funds from the Federal government. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried unanimously 5/0, that staff's recommendations be accepted and the two con- tracts be authorized as requested by Mr. Willett. *Contracts not prepared at this time. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

FACE 102 March 11. 1980 WORD PROCESSING DEPARTMENT TO CHARGE FLAT FEE OF 5 CENTS PER ORIGINAL LINE & 3 CENTS PER DUPLICATED LINE - APPROVED Administrative Assistant to the County Manager Gene Willett presented a recommendation that a flat fee be charged respective users of the Word Processing Department as follows: a. Five cents per original lin~.' b. Three cents per duplicated line. He explained that this form of making charges will establish a more equitable system for funding the Word Processing Department. Mr. Willett said that the subject department is funded through an inter-governmental service fund that acts in effect as an enterprise fund; charges made to departments utilizing the department are credited back to the fund to provide revenue for the department operations; and, this is a highly recommended method of financing and budgeting internal governmental services. Mr. Willett stated that the current method of determining charges has been to prorate the Word Processing Department's costs for the month among the using departments. He stated that if fixed rates, per line are established. the problems of varying costs from month to month for each department and difficulties in planning for same charges on the part of respective depart- ments as well as the problem of balancing the revenue and eY~,!nditures of the Work Processing Department and the unavailability of data to ~djust employment requirements and equipment will be eliminated. He said that staff recommends the aforementioned flat fees and noted that they are in accordance with data established by IBM, and will aid in the Word Processing Department maintaining the production level that is necessary to maintain IBM standards for productivity, and will enable the subject department to produce the revenue needed to remain at the optimum level of serviceability. Commissioner Pistor moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer and carried unanimously 5/0. that the recommended flat fees of 5 cents per original line and 3 cents per duplicated line be e~tablished as the rates for the Word Processing Department.

He said that staff has found there are adequate major industrial sites identified in the Comprehensive Plan to serve a population twice the current level. however, due to the "energy crisis" there is a need for more industrially suited lands nearer the aforementioned areas, situated in an area that is easily accessable to the Marco/Isle of Capri residents. Dr. Crew stated that he personally visited six proposed locations, and, it is his opinion that only the lands near Trinity Place on U.S. 41 are suitable for industrial projects. He added that even this area will require special design and use considerations and that any expansion of this area should be handled on a "PUD" basis. Dr. Crew stated that at this point in time, he sees no need for the Board to affirmatively rezone or redesignate any areas that would Officially Change the ~omprehensiv~ Plan or Zoning Districts; rather, he recommended that the Board express theit intent that all petitions regarding industrial projects be handled as "PUD" and judged on their own merit; and, that the Board consider the area near the "Trinity" site. as specified within the Executive Summary and maps distributed to the Board, as considered suitable for industrial projects under certain conditions. Chairman Wenzel called for a motion in response to Or.

Mr. Pires requested authorization to direct a letter to the franchisee, indicating the need to comply within 90 days. Commissioner Brown moved to invoke paragraph 5 of the franchise agre~nent. Commissioner Wimer seconded the motion and added that this motion included the authorization for Mr. Pires to execute said letter. Tom Boardman, representing the Immokalee Chamber of Commerce addressed the subject of the disservice to the people in Immokalee who have been patiently awaiting cablevlsion for some seven years. He.urged the Board to do whatever is necessary to make the franchise holder deliver the services promised within a short time from now. He asked for the service to begin and plans be made to phase in the rest of the town of Immokalee within a reasonable periOd of time to eliminate a small area being served and the greater part of Immokalee with no service or r::~c. for service. He further urged the Board to see that they put the franchise holders on notice that they must provide not just a service, but a quality service such as the residents in the greater Naples area enjoy. George Varnadoe, Attorney for the Franchisee, stated that he would like to suggest a time table for his client as follows: a. The insurance and bond be sati~fied within 30 days. b. Service to Phase One area in Immokalee within 120 days. c. Within the 120 day period, a further phasing plan be presented the Board for the other areas within the franchise. d. An interim report be given the Board from the Engineering Department at two months from today. . .. There was some discussion as to the quality of the service that both Commissioner Brown and Mr. Boardman insist on for the residents in Immokalee and whether or not it will be economically feasible to offer "Home Box Office". Mr. Denslow reported that a study of the matter will be made and all things will be considered prior to deciding if such a request can be fut.

She noted that the State will not be funding transporta- tion nor accommodations, however, it would be appropriate for the BCC, local civic clubs, or others to fund same, as it is to be a worthwhile, and important conference during which "aging pol ides" for the next decade will be determined.

He stated that same publications are erroneous in content and he has surreptitiously gotten on the mailing list so as to monitor the information more closely. He noted that the Planning Department has con- tacted the many residents who have written to the County asking questions regarding the proported "facts" in the subject publications, and, that they have had the "true" facts regarding their respective properties explained. oDr. Crew stated that to his knowledge, these people have been satisfied.

He referred to the amount in question as in- clusive of the necessary funds to provide service in the Golden Gate and Immokalee area as well as the previously contracted areas of Collier County. There was some discussion dS lc the need for consideration of said Supplemental Budget at this time, and Mr. Hall explained that the recommenda- tion is being made for consideration at this time to allow the subject Sup- ~lemental Budget to get into the mid-year reports. Commissioner Archer motioned that advertising be authorized for a public hearing March 25, 1980 on the Supplemental Budget re ambulance service funding for the remainder of the fiscal year. Commissioner Brown seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion. Commissioner Wimer stated that he wants the Board to know that he is opposed to the method of funding the increase in costs for amb~lance services through a Supplemental Budget and favors using funds within the various depart- mental budgets that have not been used along with a combination of funds from "other contingencies" as he feels that the "cash reserve" should be used for emergency situations regarding capital Improvement type of expenditures. Chairman Wenzel stated that perhaps between now and the time of the public hearing a search through departmental budgets could be completed and the appropriate figures could be gathered. He asked Mr. Hall if the County is required to have a public hearing when this amount of money is at question? Mr. Hall answered that it is not the amount of money that governs the need, rather, it is that the County does not anticipate large increases like this and that this expenditure would deplete the "Contingency Account", that is, this expenditure for ambulance service together with other expenditures that are anticipated to be expended from within "contingencies". He noted that there is another alternative, and that 1s~to "put off" a Supplemental Budget until late in the year and, in the event that the subject increased expenditure can be "absorbed" through other sources, then a Supplemental BUdget would not be required. He stated that the reason he Is recommending the Supplemental Budget is that it is a natural sequence of events and, he pointed out, that, as a general rule, supplemental budgets are not necessary due to the budgeting of expenditures at the BOOK OS! fACE 127 r, ' >.' t,:,,'.-; 'l~ '''.C'<..', . ","'~'l;;,""'~ !OOl< 052 rACE 128 March 11, 1980 onset of the budgeting process, however, he reminded the Board that this expenditure was not anticipated at the time of preparing the budget. Commissioner Brown asked Mr. Hall if he is reasonably sure the subject funds are aVdilable and Mr. Hall answered affirmatively, explaining that the needed funds are available in the "reserve", specifically the monies that are in the 5% reserve and the anticipated increase in unanticipated revenuas from interest income due to the increase in rates of interest, and that the combination of the two is sufficient to cover the subject expenditure. H~ a~ded that this money has not been appropriated for this purpose, and it will take a Supplemt'ntal Budget along with the appropriate public hearing to do so. He addressed the approach that Commissioner Wimer indicated was hi~ preference, and stated that, as he understands it, he wishes to wait until later in the year and see how all the departments and all the respective contingencies allow for the absorption of the subject increase in revenue. He said the only real difference between the two alternatives is that the "cleaner sequence of events" is to go ahead with the public hearing and the Supplemental Budget. At this time, however, if the Board chooses to wait, there is nothing wrong in that approach. Commissioner Brown asked if Mr. Hall would agree that if the Board waited until later on in the year, they have a good chance of finding the needed funds within departmental Accounts, And Mr. Hall explained that the budget that the Board Approved for this year is a "tight" budget; and he assured the Board that at the beginning of the year there was no apparent amount of fund~ that are large enough to cover the subject expenditure. He did say that there have been some unanticipated expenditures that the State has indiCAted they would "reimburse" the County for, speCifically the expenditures re- garding relevant audits, and also there have been some refunds in insurances and that these two may be considered as "offsetting" some of the subject expenditures. He said that there is definitely a chance that the County will not need the Supplemental Budget; however, he added that would be "cutting it real close". Commissioner Brown stated that he is withdrawing his second on Commissioner Archer's motion. Chairman Wenzel seconded the motion. Mr. Hall noted that although the Board may wish to put off the consideration of the subject Supplemental Budget, it is his feeling that it is appropriate to take care of it at this point in time, as all the members of the Board and staff are knowledgeable regarding the matter at hand, And with the current experience on the requirements of the "Contingency Fund", he advised the Board that the County is presently into said fund deeper than the County has been in any of the two prior I-I ..-. r.~ " ., l , I:::::J L:J C;J March II, 1980 years at this time. He stated that the best way to avoid the need for deep analysis later in the year is to go ahead with the procedures regarding the Supp)emental Budget as he indicated earlier, citing the fact that everyone is aware of the need to come up with a large increase in funds for the cost of ambulance services. , Chairman Wenzel stated that having the public hearing and preparation of a Supplemental Budget does not mean that the County will have to go through with funding the expenditure in that fashion if it is found that there is another way to do so. Commissioner Archer suggested that the matter be e~pedited and finished as soon as possible. County Manager Nonman offered his concurrence with Mr. Hall's recommendation. and explained that he feels if Commissioner Wimer's approach is taken, there would be a duplication of staffs efforts regarding the exploration through each respective departmental budget, as this must be undertaken in a month's time as part of the budgeting process for next year and he added that the County is anticipating some further "pay plan adjustments" that are eannarked as coming from the departmental "contingencies" and these anticipated adjustments would conflict with the search for funding for the subject expenditures. Commissioner Wimer expounded on his reasoning for opposing the recommendation of Mr. Hall and stated that he believes in a "tight-fisted" fiscal attitUde; however. if the County goes into the Supplemental Budget now and takes approximately $200,000 out of the "reserve". which is the money that is traditionally used to "start the next year", the taxes for next year will have to be increased by that amount in addition to the increased budget for next year. He said that is why he will not vote for a pUblic hearing for a Supplementary Budget, rather, he maintains the posture that it is better to do the needed work now, rather than face the subsequent problems of depletion of the "reserve". Commissioner Archer clarified the fact that he is advocating a public hearing to discuss whether or not the County will invoke the procedure of a Supplemental Budget, and that this will allow time for staff to prepare the pertinent figures to substantiate the need for same. . ~ ~oo^ ost fACE 129 , \'~' ~.." . ::,.~~~.,J.tl;'.tb..1.[,,.;..., l~ aDDK 062 fACE190 March 11, 1980 Upon call for the question, the motion to schedule a public hearing regarding a Supplemental Budget for funding the anticipated increase for costs relating to &nlbulance service for Collip.r County on March 25, 1980 and advertising re same pUblic hearing be authorized carried 3/2.

BCC APPROVES AND AUTHORIZES THE CHAIRMAN TO EXECUTE AMBULANCE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, LEASE AGREEMENT, AND AGREEMENT FOR TERMINATING AMBULANCE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, RE AMERICAN AMBULANCE, INC.. WAIVER OF PERFORMANCE BOND - APPROVED County Manager C. William Norman stated that his report this date would consist of changes and additions to the proposed Ambulance Management AC1reement with American Ambulance, Inc. which have been made since his last report to the Board on March 4, 1980. He said that the staff and American Ambulance, Inc. are in general agreement on the Agreement with one minor and one ma10r item where there are still differences. He said that the only cost difference which has developed during the interim week involves recognition of the fact that money taken out of the budget for fuel included motor oil which has to be placed back in the budget since it is not felt to be appropriate for the County to furnish this item - the estimate being $1920 for a yp3r, or $960 for the six months remaining in the current year. Mr. Norman explained that there are several wording changes to the basic agreement which have been made. i.e. a provision that the contractor will be entitled to provide exclusive service with certain exceptions which are needed to protect the public interest; the conditions under which the County fuel will be furnished; a revision to the audit period to coincide with the Coun~'s fiscal year; and, a clarification regarding the fact that it is not the County's intent to withhold payment in the event that default is charged but only in the event that default is found to actually'exist. Regarding the Termination Agreement, Mr. Norman said that this document provides for the termination of the, present contract, extending it to March 31. 1980 so that it will coincide with the new Agreement propcsed to become effective BOOK 052 PACE 199 '.~ , .:, ' ;\;.. "'~' ''., - ---........ ' - ' .;..... .:::~~ 1"ll~"1'~'" . ;; BOOK 052 PACE 134: March 11. 1980 April 1, 1980. He said that th~ staff is unanfmous in their feeling that the provisions of the Termination Agreement, previously negotiated in December. 1979 and are unchanged. remain unchanged since such provisions are important and necessary in order to best protect the interests of the County. However. Hr. Horman said that at thi~ time there is no agreement with the contractor with regard to certain provisions in the subject agreement. Mr. Horman said that it is being recommended that the provision for a performance bond be waived sinre the County is deal~ng with a contractor who has a good record of performance and, also, due to the high cost involved. noting that a quotation has been received in the amount of $13,750. Hr. Norman concluded his presentation with the recommendation that the above-referenced documents be approved. Commis,sfoner Wimer questioned the verbage contained in the Memorandum dated March 10, 1980 from Administrative Assistant Willett to the Count)' Mnager ~ith Hr. Horman concurring that the lest phrase in the second sentence of Para- graph 1 re Exclusivity should read ", thereby reducfn~ the amount of the required contract payment." (Note: The underscored words representing t~p. corrected verbage.) Mr. Jack Magu~re, President of American Ambulance, Inc., expressed con- cern over his firm being held liable in the event they are unable to obtain fuel from other sources, calling attention to the wording in this regard as contained in thr. fourth paragraph of Paragraph 2, SECTION III. Page 1 of the Ambulance Management Agreement. He said that the firm would br. losing their power in purchasfng and would have to compete for fuel supplies the same as any individual. whereas at this time the firm has prioritfes. Mr. Norman. speaking as the County ~uel Allocation Officer. said that, in his opinion, the priorfty "would go with American" regardless of the ~ource and that the County would be'in a position to insure such prfority. Mr. Maguire said that, as far as the rest of the Agreement, his firm has no particular problems wfth ~~e document and solicited question~ from thr. Board. Commissioner Pistor suggested that the ten-minute response time, as contained in Paragraph 6, SECTION I, of the Agreement might be unrealistic with Mr. Maguire responding that such provision is predicated on the fact that such response time is Possible in most instances. barring unforeseen vehicle breakdowns. and the like. ,---1 r--' .--, ~ I ';'l':\\.~' ;,t,'),/". r:::J r] I:::::J March 11. 1980 Mr. Terry Vann. representing Herndon Ambulance out of Orlando, Florida, said that he has been asked to attend the Session to record the firm's objection to the apparent course of action now being contemplated by the BCe of Collier County in awarding an ambulance service contract, addfng that his firm also objected to the Board's rejection of all of the bids, said action having been taken several weeks previously, at which time it appeared that Herndon was the low bidder. He said that the firm had been hopeful of providing the service that was desired by the County, and concluded with the comment that he has not been authorized to make any other statement concerning the subject. Commissioner Archer interrogated Mr. Vann on the varfous facets of hfs firm's operations including such topics as the complafnts received regarding the service rendered in Polk County, the number of employees hired. whether or not the firm has secured an ALS license, the submittion of addftional data pursuant to their bid, and other pertinent matters, all of which were responded to in detail by Mr. Vann. Mr. William Lagan, local resident, said that inserting the following paragraph would have been sufficient to cover the prOblem: "The low bidder. if not the present operator. shall furnish the Board with exact and acceptable answers to its questions before a contract will be awarded. We acknowledge that it would be unfair to ask the bidders, except the present operator, to negotiate the requirements in the bid speciffcations before being advised he is low bidder." To respond to the allpgation that the Board has not listened to the public, Commissioner Archer referred to the file containing letters of support for the Board's actions from the following persons: r 1.

Commissioner Wimer recalled that, at a meeting held several years ago which was attended by Mr. Ryan, it was stated that if the fire department wanted to be in the ambulance service it was his position that they be invited to put together a proposal and he pledged 4hat if the same quality of service was offered at the same dollar or less, as was being provided, he would assure them of his support. He said that, to date, he has had no response. Mr. Jim Billman, representing the East Naples Fire Department said that it is their desire to work with the County and with American Ambulance in any way possible. however, he said that they could not in good conscience sit by and be excluded from the system. He said that It is not their desire to have an ambulance service, per se, but noted that there are alternatives and compromises which can be made. He said further that if the fire departments are expected to perform EMS service, there has to be a timetable and comprehensive plan. Mr. Steve Martin. although registered to speak, declined the opportunity to address the Board. Chairman Wenzel read the letter prepared by J. L. Dutton which sets forth the position that the ambulance service should either be totally owned and operated by private enterprise under a franchise granted by the County or be totally owned and operated by the taxpayers of the County under the management of the County Manager. Chainnan Wenzel also read into the record a memorandum from Fiscal Officer Harold Hall to the effect that the Clerk's office feels that there is no question but that the assets should be accrued to the benefit of the County, as provided for in the Termination Agreement. Mr. Nonnan explained that Mr. Maguire has indicated that the Agreement is acceptable as it now stands so that the matter referred to in the memorandum is no longer an issue. 1----" r-' r--, ~ C:::J CI March 11, 1980 Mr. George Matthews, North Naples resident, questioned the qualifications of the EMS 90uncil passing Judgment on the contract, suggesting that the review of the bids should have been by the Board, persons with no involvement in the firm, and by someone familiar with medical service. Commissioner Wimer poInted out to Mr. Matthews that the subject advi~ory council is appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and that, in his opinion, it would have been foolish for the Board to accept bid specifications and bids which have not been reviewed by the Council. To help balance out the review process and, since the main criteria was with regard to quality of service. Commissioner Wimer said that there was also a committee of doctors appointed who reviewed the bids before the EMS Council, and named the doctors who sat on the committee. Commissioner Brown expressed his concern over the inference that the County Health Director William Cox had no invol~ement in the matter under discussion and requested clarification of Dr. Cox's status with the County. Mr. Horman explained that Dr. Cox is appointed by the Board, although he is in reality an employee of the State HRS, and works closely with the County. Mr. Norman said that Dr. Cox has been very intimately involved and participated very con- structively in all of the aspects of the ambulance situation. Discussion followed concerning the responsibilities of the County Health Director and the EMS Medical Director in ihe matter of supervising of emel'gency health services in the County. Commissioner Brown requested a legal opinion as to whether or not the Board "performed in a high, and ethical, and honest manner" with regard to the bids for ambulance service. Assistant County Attorney Pires responded by stating that, pertaining to the bid procedure, the bids were opened in a public hearing, with the press in attendance, the bids were discussed in a public hearing with, the Board making the decision that the bids should be rejected, based on numerous factors and considerations. He said that that procedure was valid, lawful and legal. Commissioner Brown further inquired if the contract presented is an honest and legal document, or it,~as has been alleged, it is an illegal contract Attorney Pires said that he beileves it could be a legal, binding document, comment- ing that there has been much input and staff time put into it, and with much time inovolved in the review pr?cess. BOOK 0S2 PACE 137 -- -- BOOK 052 PACE 1&9 March 11, 1980 Note: County Attorney Pickworth Joined the meeting at this time - 3:20 P.M. " I Commfssfoner Brown moved that the Board accept the contract wfth American Ambulance, which has been the subject of discussion. The motion died for lack of a second. At Chairman Wenzel's request, pursuant to k{e~fng the public fully informed. Mr. Norman explained that the annual contract payment, as provided for in the contract, is $576,920 which equates to $48.077 per month. To determine the amount of payment for the balance of the current fiscal year. Mr. Norman divided the annual payment by two to arrive at $288,460. Cor~llissloner Brown again moved that the Board take the following actions. as recommended by the Staff: 1. Approve the Ambulance Management Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and American Ambulance. Inc.. 2. Approve the Lease Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners. Lessor. and American Ambulance, Inc.. Lessee. and 3. Approve the Agreement for Terminating Ambulance Management Agreement for Providing Emergency Medical Services between American Ambulance. Inc. (Contractor), and the Board of County Commissioners, (County); and that the Chairman be authorized to execute all of the above documents. Commissioner Pistor observed that he has carefully studied the contract and stated that he would feel "more comfortable" with it, in view of the Auditor General's Report just received with respect to the ~ccounting pro- cedures in the past with ambulance service, if, (1) the County did all of the billing and payment of bills in order to provide a firm idea of the costs for running the service, and how much money was being received, or, (2) if that type of statement was received each month from the operator of the ambulance service. Responding to Commissioner Pistor, Mr. Norman said that it is not being recommended that the County be responsible for billings and collections; however, with respect to the Commissioner's second suggestion, Mr. Norman referred to Page 7 of the Contract which he said defines the information to be provfded to the staff before a recommendation of payment would be forthcoming each month. He said that it is felt that. with these provisions, there will be adequate, detailed informatio~ concerning activity, and, also, concerning billings and collections, upon which to monitor the service. He said that. additionally, at the end of each year there will be a certified accrual audit. ,-. ..--, r--' " ')i , ' I::i c::t ~ March 11. 1980 I which the County did not have in the past, which will be in accordance with accepted accounting standards and which will provide independent qualified backup for the information to which he previously referred. Mr. Norman said that the reporting and monitoring capabilities by the County have been considerably strengthened. Commissioner Archer seconded the motion on the floor. Before calling for a vote on the motion, Chairman Wenzel questioned whether or not contracting the service to a private firm will be a savings to the County, which he said he assumes is the advantage to be gained, and cited several examples why, in his opinion, the County could operate the service without it costing any more. At this point, Mr. Maguire submitted for the record a petition supporting American Ambulance and the Advanced Life Support System in Collier County, which he noted contains approximately 2,000 signatures. Commissioner Wimer asked the Fiscal Officer to clarify the difference between what the State Auditor reviewed and criticized, under the past subsidy arrangement and the contractual arrangement contained In the proposed contract - whether or not the same circumstances apply, or if the County is on safe ground with the auditing procedures beln9 contempleted. Fiscal Office Harold Hell said that the reviews of the Attorney General's Opinions, and of the different audits which were conducted by the Auditor General, indicated that going to the type of contract, as proposed, the pay- ments each month, although a fixed amount, would be based upon the Clerk's pre-audit of a statement that would come from the supplier of the services. He said that these statements would be reviewed by the County Manager's staff to ascertain that the services, as provided for in the contract, were, in fact, rendered. Further, said Mr. Hall, such pre-audit function would constitute the pre-audit duties of the Clerk and the County would not have the type of problems being encountered. He said there are other factors which were not known, among them the fact that the Auditor Gener~l frowns upon lump-sum payments, . .. noting that such payments, as are being considered, might be considered to be lump-sum payments. Therefore, said Mr. Hall, it can never be stated with certainty that the type of contract being entered will not be questioned; BO~l( 052 PACE 1S9 BOOK 052, PACE 140 March 11. 1980 'however. he said that it can be definitely stated that it is aimed at paralleling the type of contract and devliery of services, certification of that delivery, and pre-audit of that certification prior to payment, which is solid in those respects. Commissioner Pistor observed that he has no~omplaint about the service Mr. Maguire has rendered, noting that his (Mr. Maguire's) Medical Director is a very dedicated doctor. however, he stated his preference for the payment for the service being justifiable as being equal to the cost of running the operation. rather than a lump-sum payment. He called attention to the fact that on Page 8 of the contract it is noted that "it is the intent of the parties that the contractor will not make a profit under this Agreement" which he said is a further reason why he supports the County collecting the monies and knowing the full operation of the company or the people providing the service. Upon call for the question, the motion carried, pursuant to roll call vote. 3/2 with Commissioners Pistor and enzel voting in opposition. Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Pistor and carried 4/1 with Chairman Wenzel voting in opposition. that the waiver of the Performance Bond, as recommended by staff, be approved. A further petition filed for the record contained the signatures of 22 EMT's and Paramedics of Am^.rican Ambulance expressing their appreciation to the Board for renewing the contract of American Ambulance, Inc. * * * * * * ~ r-" r-, ....,;.'....;......' .,., BOOK 052 rACE 170 March 11. 1980 , " WORKSHOP AGENDA ITEM RE REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF FISCAL POLICY FOR FY 1980-B1 - CONTINUED UNTIL MARCH 18. 1980 Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown and unanilnousl~ carried. that the Workshop item scheduled for this date be continued until the meeting of March 18, 1980. County Manager Norman inquired if it would be ~cceptable to distribute the budget preparation material to the appropriate personnel in the interim period with Fiscal Officer Harold Hall responding in the affirmative in order to proceed on the schedule which has been established. He noted that there is one form in the budget material which may have to be changed depending on the Fiscal Policy of the Board; however, he said that this could be "handled" later.
