STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR IMPROVING THE HVAC SYSTEMS WITHIN COLLIER COUNTY - ADOPTED Administrative Assistant Gene Willett reviewed the Staff's report. contained in the agenda packet, regarding the improvement of the HVAC (heating December II, 1979 ventilatinq, and air conditioning) system in Collier County. Mr. Willett stated ~hat following the review of energy costs over the past months, it has become evident that any improvement in any HVAC system must include energy conservation measures and that substantial savings could be made if the entire complex was reviewed and an energy audit perfor.ned. This. Mr. Willett continued, led to the following proposed program which is divided into three phases: P~la se One: A 50/50 Grant from the Federa 1 Department of Energy in the amount of $1.100 with Collier County contri- buting $550 in matching amount. Phase Two; TAP - Technical Assistant Program which essentially provides for the detailed engineering analysis required to actually implement a management system - There is a 50/50 match available for this phase. Phase Three: ECM - Energy Conservation Measure - this is the actual implementation of the previous two phases and even though there are no grant monies available at the present there is a good possibility that such grants could become available at a later date. Discussion followed which touched upon the possible savings of as much as 30% of the County's current electric billj the desire to take advantage of the available grant monies; the need to go outside of the County for the necessary expertise to do an energy audit and the overall result of such a program that will be not only energy saving but more economical JS well. Commissioner Pistor moved. seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried 4-1. with Commissioner Wimer dissenting, that the fol- lowing Staff recommendations be approved and that the necessary $500 be appropriated as the County's matching funds for the grant: 1. COllnty Manager be authorized to implement a temporary solution to the problem cited in Buildings C & D. 2. County Manager to be authorized to formally apply for the cash granted by Governor's Energy Office for the energy (Iud it. 3. An approximate $500.00 amount be authorized from the general fund as a local match to this grant. 4. The firm of Advance Automated Concepts be awarded a contract to perform the Collier County energy audit. 5. Upon the receipt of the energy audit, staff be authorized to prepare a grant application for the TAP Phase based upon information obtained in the energy audit. and present the application to the Board of County Commissioners for approval.

He silid that it was felt that the rn,1jor emphasis should be on the training of County employees to maintain the classification and pay plan once the revision is rccorrmendecJ and implemented. He outlined the reasons why Mr. Walden C, Parker, of the U.S. Office of Personnel M,1na<.wment, was being I'ecornnendf'd to the Board, as contained in the Executivf' SIHTmiH'y "e'larding the matter. Among the reasons ci ted ~y 1.1,'. \01,11 ker for l'econrnendi ng ~lr. Parker over other consul tants was the on-si te days in his proposal, at a lesser cost, the placing of more emphasis on County staff training and involvement, and the more subjective methods of position assessment. r1r. Io'a 1 ker conmen ted tha t Mr. Pa rker has provided similar services to several othf'r counties, hoth within the State and outside the Slate, and that the locill governments involved were highly complimentary of Mr. Parker and his work. Mr. P.1rk[~r provided the Board with infonnation concerning his qualifications, !loth ,1cadP.fT1ically iEld experience-wise, mentioning his 16 yeill'S of experience beginning with local government, to St,1te government, and, ilt present, at the Federal level. He said that his agency has not set up private industry classifications and pay p1.1ns, but that t:Jcre have been extended associations in this area in tenms clf gat.hering survey data. Concerning his proposal for Col] ier County, Mr. Parker said that the project is to study, analyze, and eVilluate all of the positions. with the possible exception of the constitutional officers' positions, and to revise WOK 050 PAGl403 the existing classification and pay plan.

Mr. Parker outlined the objectives which will he achieved by the study and said that, with the built-in intern,ll maintenilnce capability of the County's stilff, it is possible the County may not ever have to hire another outside consultant for this pllrpo,>e. At this point, Mr. Walker. by a series of slide projections, elaborated on the net,lil, of the study. the Factor Evaluation System which will be used. the point-rating, to be applied to each position, including such In,ltters ,15 knowled'Je rF'l]IJired by thp. position, complexity, physical demands, and the like.

Kf'spondin'1 tn Chair.,11il:1 Wenzel, Mr. Parker said that the counties with which he hdS worked have been "open shops". Mr. Nonnan explained why. in his opinion, the study is necessary, citing the recent study performed with grant funds from which little value WilS received. Mr. Walker emphasized the success Mr. Parker has had in an out-of-state county wllerein 70B jobs werr~ involved and that when the study was completed only 6 employee appeals were filed, only one of which was substantiated. He said further that Broward County has had two ilffirmative action audits. following studies made in that County ~y Mr, Parker, and that the County got a clean bill of health by both - EEO and HUD. ~e ~aid fJrther that this aspect is important in the area of receipt of Federal Revenue Sharing funds and pointed out Mr. Parker's knowledgeabil ity of what the Federal Government requires. Turning to involvement on the part of the County staff personnel, Mr, Parker said that probably five members will be assigned to review the aforementioned employee job questionnaires for accuracy, and the 1 ike, following which they will write the job descriptions, which then should be circulilted to the incumbent employees and, thereby, involve all employees.

Mr. Parker said that one person should scrve as the team leader when r; is not present a1d who should have a background in personnel management, some experience in job evaluation. position classification and the like, and who would be helpful in the overall effectiveness of the Maintenance Program initially and in the future. Noting that Mr. Parker resides in Atlanta, Georgia, Chairman Wenzel inquired about his time schedule with Mr. Parker stating that he would be on call, not only in person but by telephone, and that he would spend thirty days on-site. Discussion followed concerning the funding of the recommendations being proposed, one of which being a transfer of funds from the Contingency Fund to the Personnel [lcpartment fund. Corrmissioner Wimer suggc5ted that other sources be considered such as excess funds not being used to fund unfilled posi tions which have been budgeted. Chairman Wenzel expressed his concurren:e wi th the suggestiC'n and requested updated information regarding the Gener.1l Fund balances, and offered a further suggestion that contingency fllnds wi thin various departments be reviewed fot. funds which ave not been allocated nor spent. Concerning employees other than those under the Board .of County Com- missionrrs, Chief Deputy Raymond Barnett stated his desire to discuss with Sheriff Ro:;ers the matter of possibly including the Sheriff's Department in the proposa 1 . Personnel rJirector Anne Hor,1, responding to Corrmissioner Brown, voiced her endorsement of th~ subject study and the need for additional help in her department to keep the Program on a maintenance level after training has been received.
