Recommendation to review and approve tbe projects proposed for Collier Connly's
Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Legislative Agenda which will be presented to tbe
Congressional Delegation in Washington, D.C. for federal funding consideration.
OBJECTIVE: To review and approve the projects recommended by the county's federal
lobbyist. The Ferguson Group, for Collier County's Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Legislative
Agenda, which will be presented in prioritized order to the Congressional Delegation in
Washington, D.C. for federal funding consideration.
Once approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on February 12, Collier
County's Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Legislative Agenda will be presented by Collier
County Commissioner Frank Halas, Collier County Manager Jim Mudd, Assistant to the
County Manager Debbie Wight as well as The Ferguson Group representatives to the
Congressional Delegation in Washington, D.C. on February 14 in a series of meetings
scheduled with Rep. Connie Mack, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, Sen. Bill Nelson, and Sen.
Mel Martinez, and/or their legislative staff.
Once delivered to the federal elected officials, the FY09 Federal Legislative Agenda will
be pursued diligently and monitored continually throughout the federal legislative process
by The Ferguson Group's team of professional lobbyists, whom have also already had
preliminary meetings with key legislative staff. In addition, Congressmen Mack and
Diaz-Balart's legislative directors and other staff members from their Washington offices
have met with county staff in Collier County to discuss the status of FYOS projects and
the proposed FY09 Federal Legislative Agenda. Those conversations and even a tour
included overall projections for the future and recommendations.
CONSIDERATION: To develop Collier County government's federal legislative
platform, the County Manager's Office receives input from the Board of County
Commissioners as well as Division Administrators, Department Directors and senior
staff. Representatives of The Ferguson Group met directly with staff in one-on-one
meetings in the County Manager's Office scheduled on October IS, 2007, to explain
federal funding opportunities, detail the application process and explain the
appropriations cycle at the federal level of government. Since Fiscal Year 2009 will be
the county's third appropriations cycle in which it has been actively pursuing funding
opportunities at the federal level with a lobbyist, staff has become more familiar with the
process and educated about requirements. That maturity, experience and refinement of
the process has streamlined the development of the draft agenda.
A total of20 county projects were originally submitted for consideration to The Ferguson
Group representatives for the FY09 Federal Legislative Agenda. Upon a thorough
evaluation of the funding potential of each project and assessment based on available
Agenda Item No. 10A
February 12, 2008

accounts and appropriations, The Ferguson Group recommends that the following nine
projects comprise Collier County's Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Legislative Agenda:
CoUier Co_Iv's Fiscal Year 2009 Federal LaislatWe Allenda:
1) Interstate 75/Everglades Project Development and
Environment Study
2) Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project
3) Interstate 75/Collier Boulevard SR 84 Interchange
4) Technology for Emergency Services Center
5) Gordon Pass Dredging
6) Naples Bay Restoration
7) Health Care Access for the Uninsured (pLAN)
8) Water Interconnects
9) Vanderbilt Lagoon
Additional Priorities/Grants:
. Ochopee Fire District Rural Services Fire Safety Facility
. Immokalee Emergency Information Broadcast Equipment
. Bayshore DrivelShadowlawn Transportation Corridor
Improvements
(See attachment for more detail)
Interstate 75/Everglades Boulevard continues to be a top priority of the county.
Funding will iroprove access to Interstate 75 for an area that covers more than 100 square
miles while improving interchange operations at three existing overburdened
interchanges. Request: $2 million
The Lely Area Stormwater Improvement Project (LASIP) was on the FY08 Agenda
and received no funding, but because it is of critical iroportance to the Collier County
community and funding will support the construction of a master-planned surface water
management system which will provide a comprehensive stormwater outfall system for
an 11 ,135-acrea area of East Naples, it is proposed for FY09. Request: $2.3 million
The Interstate 75/Collier Boulevard SR84 Interchange project, which is experiencing
a high level of congestion due to convergence of Davis Boulevard, Collier Boulevard at
Interstate 75, and growth in southern portion of county, is also a continuing project.
Request: 54.5 million
Technology for the Emergency Services Center is a continuing project for which
funding will support the acquisition of public safety equipment. Request: 51.5 million
Agenda Item No. 10A

Gordon Pass Dredging was requested jointly by the City of Naples and the County in
FY08 and funding will provide for engineering and maintenance dredging to increase the
depth of this commercial waterway. Request: 51,619,500
Naples Bay Restoration is a continued City of Naples request due to Naples Bay
becoming an impaired waterway as a result of new development, population growth and
increased commercial and recreational uses. Request: $450,000
Health Care Access for the Uninsured, also the Physician Led Access Network
(pLAN), represents a project in which funding will support the expansion of a health care
access program for individuals who are under/uninsured in Collier County. The project
connects individuals who require health care to free services donated by local health care
providers. Request: 51 million
Water InteROnneets, a project resulting from the Water Resources Development Act
(WRDA) authorization, is for funding of Bonita Springs interconnect with Lee County as
part oftri-county water supply and connectivity. Request: 5300,000
Vanderbilt Lagoon, also a WRDA authorization, is funding for an Army Corps of
Engineers reconnaissance study. Request: 5250,000
To get input from the municipalities during the process, County Manager Jim Mudd
wrote letters dated October 10,2007 (see attachment) to then City of Naples Manager Dr.
Robert E. Lee and then City of Marco Island Manager A. William Moss and requested
the submission of federal project requests to assure participation of their respective
communities in the federal funding process under the guidance of the BCC for the
county's lobbyist program. The City of Naples letter (see attachment) was received in the
County Manager's Office on November 8, 2007. That submission includes the following
project separated into three parts based upon subsequent meetings and discussions
between county and city staff:
NIIDIes Bav Restoration Droiem:
. Riverside Circle FRter Marsh and Stormwater Control
. Broad Avenue South FRter Marsh and Stormwater Control
. Lake Park Swale System
(See attachment for more detail)
Reflecting on the Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Legislative Agenda and the federal
appropriations cycle, Collier County received awards of about $3 million for six of nine
county projects when President Bush signed the Omnibus spending package at the end of
December 2007. Collier County owes a great deal of gratitude for those funding
allocations to the support, diligence and tenacity of Congressmen Mack and Diaz-Balart
Those awards include:

. Big Marco Pass 51,379,568
. Healthcare access network for under- and uninsured $327,183
. 1-75lEverglades PDE Study $245,000
. 1-75 Collier Blvd. SR 84 Interchange $490,000
. Technology for Emergency Services Complex 5352,500
. Immokalee Community Center 5147,000
In addition, with passage of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), which was
the result of Congress victoriously overriding the President's veto, Collier County
received an authorization of $5 million for Gordon River water infrastructure to improve
water quality, and $20 million jointly with Charlotte and Lee counties for water supply
interronnectivity infrastructure. Also, money was authorized for studies for Collier
County beaches and Vanderbilt Beach Lagoon. (See attachment) Reiterating, included
on the FY09 Federal Legislative Agenda proposal being considered by the Board are
requests for funding for Water Interconnects with Bonita Springs for tri-county
connectivity and a Vanderbilt Lagoon reconnaissance study. Given that beaches were
recently renourished, the county will seek that WRDA-authorized funding in future years.
The FY09Federal Legislative Agenda, once determined by Board action today, will be
turned over to The Ferguson Group which will complete the required Congressional
questionnaires and documents for each project, as well as necessary correspondence from
Collier COWlty to Congress, in preparation for the Collier County contingent to travel to
Washington February 13-14 for advocacy meetings on Capitol Hill in support of the
projects.
Although Collier County is embarking on its third season in partnership with an expert
lobbying firm, The Ferguson Group, it should be noted that the county is actually in its
fourth year of developing its federal legislative program. During the first inaugural
advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. four years ago, Congressman Mack's office was told
about Vanderbilt Lagoon by Manager Mudd and Commissioner Halas.
In Fiscal Year 2008 the collaborative efforts and energies of Commissioners, the
Congressional Delegation, county staff and the county's lobbyists reached fruition as
federal funding has been awarded to the Collier County community. In Fiscal Year 2009,
Collier County staff, with the endorsement of the Board, will align their goals toward a
continuum of success and strive to maintain the achieved momentum.
In conclusion, the Board is being asked to review and approve in prioritized order the list
of nine (9) projects which will comprise the Collier County Fiscal Year 2009 Federal
Legislative Agenda.

Dear Commissioner Henning,
Attached are the requested maps and cost estimates for the sidewalk needs in Golden Gate City. This information
was obtained from the Comprehensive Pathways Plan. The Pathways Plan focused on collector and arterial
roads in 2005 and 2006. The exception was to examine the schools in Golden Gate City thus we were able to
provide you with this data.
Map 1 shows the needs ( 5 foot sidewalk in blue, 6 foot sidewalk in red, 12 foot pathway in light green) as well as
the existing facilities. Map 2 includes the needs only; all existing facilities have been removed. The table
illustrates the approximate cost of the needs. The costs listed are estimates and do not include any right of way
or drainage improvements that may be necessary. All projects shown in the table are unfunded needs.
Transportation Planning is creating an ADA Transition Plan. The consultant is being asked to examine existing
pathways in Golden Gate City and provide cost estimates to bring these pathways into compliance. This may add
additional needs and costs to the facilities in Golden Gate City.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
~ '*-'

SUbjert: Naples Bay Restoration Status for WRDA update
Jim,
Debbie Wight, Amanda Townsend and myself met with Mike Bauer and Chet Hunt from the
City of Naples to discuss the status, timing and preliminary scope of the Naples Bay
Restoration project that was recently Authorized by the WRDA legislation. Our intent was to
coordinate the Cities efforts with that of the County and discuss future projects that would be of
significant benefit. The county (Amanda Townsend) is working towards developing a Master
Plan for the Naples Bay area that can be discussed at a future date.
The scope of the work for the Naples Bay Restoration has be consolidated into three projects
that will be managed and controlled separately by the City of Naples but are incorporated into
the one WRDA Authorization, These projects are as follows:
. Riversict~Qi.rcle.Bller Mgrshgnd $jormwater Control - This is the smallest of the projects
and will serve to intercept/redirect the stormwater runoff from the existing ditch (from the
pumping station at riverside circle) through an expanded distribution swale to a newly
planted filter marsh for treatment and then into the Gordon River via sheet flow through
an existing mangrove swamp. This area as you can see is inside the City of Naples
Municipal Complex and will serve as an excellent public awareness project. The
conceptual design is complete and permitting is expected to take 12 months to
complete, The City of Naples will complete the design and permitting this year while
waiting for the WRDA Appropriation next year. This project can be finalized and
operational 12 months after funding is available. Expected cost of this project is
$200,000. This project will not interface with any planned or existing county project.

Agenda ~~ ~c9.G ~A
February 12, 2008
Page 19 of 32
. Broad Avenue South Filter Marsh and Stormwater Control- The City of Naples is
currently seeking engineering and permitting proposals from consultants to get started
with this project. This project would build a storm water filter marsh system from 3rd
Street South to the Naples Bay and then construct a mangrove swamp at the
stormwater discharge location where sediment buildup has occurred in Naples Bay. It is
anticipated that the mangrove/cordgrass saltwater filter marsh/stormwater treatment area
would be approximately 25,000 square feet As a secondary feature, a park trail would
be constructed along this discharge route, Consultants are being solicited that would:
Determine current nutrient and other pollutant loads currently being delivered into Naples
Bay; Estimate load reductions resulting from construction/operation; Development of a
preliminary design; Obtain a Joint Coastal Permit Application from the FDEP and
USACE; Develop construction plans and technical specifications; Estimate construction
costs; Bid project; and Manage construction services,
It is anticipated that this project will Cost $3,300,000. The City of Naples will fund the
engineering and permitting while waiting for the WRDA Appropriation, This project can
be completed in 18 months after funding is available,
. Lake Park Swale Svstem - This project is the least defined and most challenging of all
the Naples Bay Restoration projects, The intent is to construct a system of swales to
connect the lakes in the lake park neighborhood to the Gordon river and eliminate the
current stormwater pipe system, No additional conceptual or definition work has taken
place on this project. It is estimated that this project will require 3 to 5 years to complete
and cost $2,000,000,

Agenda I?~ ~cfl~ @A

Page 20 of 32
The Broad Avenue South Filter Marsh/Stormwater Project (Item 1) and the Lake Park Swale
System ( Item 2) integrate into other County and City Stormwater/Filter Marsh projects as
listed below.
Thinking ahead, for the next level of WRDA projects we will be proposing the elimination of the
City of Naples stormwater discharges into the Gulf of Mexico. Between Doctors pass and 2nd
Avenue South there are 11 untreated stormwater discharges into the Gulf. FDEP has
indicated that they will not issue another renourishment permit until a plan is developed and
approved by them. To date, no work has taken place. We have 7 to 8 years before the next
renourishment is required assuming no significant storm event. Conceptually, since real estate
and surface retention is and issue, We would propose mechanical, first flush solids separation,
ARS storage and release during the dry season for irrigation. This project would require
extensive permitting taking 5 years to execute and conceptually cost around $15M to $20M.

Re: Federal Legislative Priorities
Dear Mr. Mudd:
Thank you for your letter informing us of the timefrarne issues regarding the Collier County Fiscal Year
2008 Federal Agenda and the $5 million authorization for Naples Bay restoration in the current Water
Resources Development Act.
Naples Bay restoration would involve the design, engineering, permitting and construction of at least
five (5) stormwater treatment areas, or filter marshes, similar to those constructed by the South Florida
Water Management District as part of their efforts to restore the Everglades. These filter marshes would
ring Naples Bay and the Gordon River. The design, engineering and permitting phase would take
approximately one year, with construction to follow immediately upon obtaining a permit. Thus, if
money were received in the next fiscal year, we could start with the engineering work then and follow
with the construction in the following fiscal year.
Along with the fIlter marshes, a series of corridors would be developed as swales and trails that would
traverse the city, linking Naples Bay, the Gordon River Greenway, and the Gulfbeaches. Again, these
swales and trails would have the same two-phase approach as the filter marshes and could probably
occur simultaneously with the development of those marshes. The swales would have a dual nature;
they would be designed to clean stormwater runoff prior to its entry into our primary natural water
bodies and would provide a trail system allowing people to walk or bike along park-like corridors from
one natural feature to another, probably inter-connecting with existing city parks.
Hopefully, this helps expand the original information. If you think we need more detail, please let us
know and we will work on further development of these concepts.

Re: Federal Legislative Priorities
Dear Dr. Robert E. Lee:
Time has arrived for the Board of County Commissioners to identify community funding needs and develop the Collier County
Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Agenda of prioritized projects in preparation for presentation to our Congressional Delegation in
Washington, D.C in advance ofthe next appropriations cycle.
Recognizing that in the Collier County Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Agenda the City of Naples Gordon Pass dredging project received
a $1.5 million House earmark prior to conference committeel as well as a $5 million authorization for Naples Bay restorat.ion in the
.Water Resources Development Act (\VRDA), J would recommend that the City of Naples come fonvard with expanded time-
phased plans for the V,'RDA-approved project.
To explain further, this year's House Energy and vVater bill (FY08) contains $1.5 million in operation and maintenance funding for
the Gordon River Pass., which is listed in the bill as "Naples to Big Marco Pass." After the House and Senate conference their
,"e::;pective Energy and Water bills and send a final bill to President Bush for signature, all or part of the $1.5 million will be
appropriated to Collier County for use this year (FY08).
Additionally. the Water Resources Development Act authorizes $5 million for water infrastructure to improve water quality in the
"Vicinity of the Gordon River, Collier County. This is tenific because the \VRDA authorization allows us to request Energy and
Water appropriations next year (FY09) for \vatcr quality improvements in the vicinity ofthe Gordon River. Having requested and
successfully obtained the WRDA authorization this year, we will want to stay on course and pursue the \VRDA-authorized
appropriations for this project next year and in subsequent years to follow.
] have attached a copy of the Collier County Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Agenda with the House earmarks as of July 12, 2007 and a
WRDA report of August 3,2007. You will see that six ofeolIier County's nine projects received House earmarks although as of
this letter, the House-Senate conference process has yet to begin.
Please respond 'with your projects by NO'i'ember 14. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Assistant to the County Manager Debbie Wight at 774-8383 or dcbbiewight@collienwv.net. Your coopcration and consideration
are appreciated.

Debbie-
We looked at several projects and I gave some information to Mr. Moss, however since he has
moved on to Naples, I do not know the status, I would guess that if he did not respond, we did not
have any projects to add to the list

Re: Federal Legislative Priorities
Dear Mr. A. William Moss:
I would like to take this opportunity to invite the City of Marco Island to identify a project or two in your
community that you would like the Board of County Commissioners to consider as part of the Collier County
Fiscal Year 2009 Federal Agenda of prioritized projects which will be presented to our Congressional
Delegation in Washington, D.C as funding requests in advance of the next appropriations cycle.
Our process includes county staff and electcd officials identifying and evaluating community needs and
projects. Then, our federal lobbying firm, Tlle Ferguson Group, provides us their professional assessment
and makes recommendations based on actual federal funding opportunities available. Ultimately, the decision
of which projects actually make the prioritized list comprising the Collier County Federal Agenda is made by
the Board of County Commissioners at a regular meeting.
I have attached a copy of the Collier County Fiscal Year 2008 Federal Agenda with the House earmarks as of
July 12, 2007. You ",ill see that six of Collier County's nine projects received House earmarks although as of
this letter, the House-Senate conference process has yet to begin.
Please respond with your projects by November 14. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Assistant to the County Manager Debbie Wight at 774-8383 or
debbiewight@colliergov.net. Your cooperation and consideration are appreciated.
