OPENING COMMENTS BY CHAIRMAN PISTOR
Chairm'\n Pistor extended a welcome to those individuals
present, acknowledging the presence of interested citizens, County
employees, candidates for the office of County Commissioner, a
membor of City Council, and a member of the School Board, and
expressed the Board's appreciation of their attendance.
Chairman Pistor commented that much time has been spent in
considering all of the items in the budgets noting that every item
has been reviewed in minute detail. At this point, the Chairman
stated that a great deal of thanks should be extended to Fiscal
Officer Harold Hall and his staff who have spent many days and nights
checking and rearranging budgetary figures according to the
Commission's requests and thoughts as to what would be in the best
interests of the County. He said that the proposed budget represents
a lower millage that will, in spite of increased costs, result in
equal service to the community.
Concerning the conduct of the public hearing, Chairman Pistor
requested that the public hold their questions until each budget item
is presented, following which he would ask for comn\~nts. He noted
that the hearing is one of the most important meetings held each
year and that comments are welcomed.
The Chairman called upon the Fiscal Officer for introductory
remarks with respect to the budgetary figu~es and for explanations
of same where appropriate.
INTRODUCTORY REl>iARI<S BY FISCAL OFFICER HAROLD L. HALL
Mr. Uall explained, for the benefit of those persons present
who might not be familiar with the budgeting processes in Florida,
that what is being presented is the Board of County Commissioners Propos-
Budget that was developed by the Board from the Tentative Budget sub-
mitted by the Clerk of the Circuit Court William J. Reagan to the Board
of County Commissioners on July 15, 1978, in accordance with Florida
Statutes. Reading from Mr. Reagan's transmittal letter,
.,
September 13, 1978
Mr. Hall identified three major changes from the prior year's
budgets, as follows:
1. New uniform classification of accounts, mandated by
the State of Florida, has been implemented with the
subject budget.
2. Budgetary units in the budget have been numbered in
sequence in accordance with new program codes which
reflects the function and activity of the various
budgetary units of County Government.
3. The expenditure portion of the budget was produced
with the new computer-based budget system. This
will enable quickly updating the budget during review
and after final approval the budget will automatically
be entered in the financial management system on
October 1st.
..
"
Mr. Uall continued by stating that the County Commission, using
the tentative budget, reviewed each And every budget and effected somE
very significant changes in the budget which resulted in a millage whj
was below the initial millage and actually reduced the millages on a
County-wide basis. The Board directed that the budgets be redone
to reflect the changes directed by the Board in both expenditures
and revenues. Following that, said Mr. Hall, the Commissioners
directed that the following actions take place:
A. Expenditures - All Funds
1. Allocated Costs
In additiryn to the budget reductions by departments,
all costs were allocated for those departments that
were to be classified as intragovernment service de-
partments and allocated costs that previously had
been in a general government type account and, based
upon some very good cost analysis and projections by
the County Managers Office, every departmental budget
was revised to reflect the philosophy of the Commission
in reflecting allocated costsl i.e. Xerox, communications
motor pool, data processing, and those other kinds of
services which are intragovernmental services in nature.
2. Change in Level of BUdgetary Control
It was recommended by the Fiscal Officer on November 15,
1977 that this year's expenditure budget be prepared
with object group totals rather than a line item ex-
penditure budget. It is recommended that the "object
range" budget totals be adopted by the Board as the
approved budget for budgetary control purposes.

between incorporated and unincorporated based on the
same guidelines and then each fund was marked with a
code showing wh~t the basis of the allocation was.
.'
"
Rogarding the sequence of the public heariny presently underway,
Mr. Hall said that the first one will be on Federal Revenue Sharing
Funds, following which the public hearing on the Board of County
Commissioners' total budget for FY 78-79 will be held.
Chairman Pistor emphasized that unless some changes are made
during the public hearings this date the millages on all items will
be reduced and, therefore, by law, the Board is only required to have
one public hearing - "this one". He said that the Collier County
Lighting District has an increase and so there will be two public
hearings - one on September 19, 1978 at 7:30 P.M., and one September 26,
1978 at 9:00 A.M.
PUBLIC HEARING RE 1978-79 BUDGET FOR FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS _
SUBJECT FUNDS TO BE PLACED IN THE ROAD & BRIDGE DEPARTMENT FUND
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
September 4, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened for the purpose of hearing
requests or complaints regarding the proposed Federal Revenue Sharing
Budget for the Fiscal Year 1978-79.
In response to Chairman Pistor's inquiry as to the estimated
amount of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds the County will receive,
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall responded by stating that with the most
recent notific3tion from the Federal Government it is expected that
the County will receive $619,491 as the County's allocation in the
coming year. In addition to that, sbid Mr. Hall, the unspent portion
from the prior allotments is $115,509 making a total of $735,000
available to be appropriated.
Mr. Hall noted that the public hearing on the intended use
of these funds resulted in input from several people as to recommended
uses. During those hearings and from subsequent information in develop-

ment of the ~udget, it became apparent to the Board and the Board so
recommended in the tentative budget, that these funds be used in a mannc
that would tend to hold down the ad valorem taxes. As a result, said
Mr. Hall, it was determined by the Board thut these funds be put into
the tentative budget for Road and Bridge projects which are of a high
priority and benefit the people on a County-wide basis.
Chairman Pistor inquired if there ware any parsons in the audienco
who wished to address the Boara regarding the proposed use of the Federc
Revonue Sharing Funds in the amount of $735,000 which the Board has
tentatively assigned for use in the Road and Bridge Fund which is of
general value to everyone living in Collier County. There was no
response.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer
and carried unanimously 5/0, that the public hearing be closed.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer
and carried unanimously 5/0, that the General Revenue Funds in
the amount of $619,491, and the carryover of $115,509, be accepted
and placed in the Road and Bridge Fund.
1978-79 BUDGET ADOPTED EXCLUDING COLLIER COUNTY LIGHTING DISTRICT
BUDGET
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
Soptember 4, 1978 as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed
with the Clerk, public hearing was opened for the purpose of hearing
requests or complaints regarding the prol'osed budget for the Fiscal
Year 1978-79.
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall, referring to the material which
\~as made available to those persons in attendance, explained that
the Summary of Revenues and Appropriations sheet sets forth the Tax
R,evel!ues, other Revenues, the Reserve which is required by Statutes,
the Budgeted Carryover from the prior year, and the total available
revenues for budget purposes and the total appropriations. Mr. Hall
,
,
. ! 1
..
September 13, 1978
stated that t:le revenues and ap~ropriations must balance for each fund
and that they do balance. Mr. Hall called attention to the '~ax'~ate
Hillage column and said that in only one case does the proposed millage
cxcecd the certified millage by the Property Appraiser and that is in th(
Collier County Lighting District which was previously referred to
during his opening comments.
Mr. Hall explained that the second sheet of the aforementionud
material is a listing of all of the General Fund Departments ~nd
detailed the information contained in each of the columns. He noted
that the General Government BUdget has been divided into three parts,
for the first time, as follows:
1. Board of County Commissioners--Board Members, Administrative
Aide, and related expenties to the Board.
2. Clerk to the Board - Expenses of Chief Deputy Clerk/Fiscal
Officer's offices (Minutes and Records, BUdgets, Finances, etc)
3. Other General Administrative - other expenses previously
included in General Government.
Hr. Hall stated that the services which were previously a part of the
General Fund that are offered on an intragovernmental basis have been
separated and put into a separate fund consisting of Data Processing,
Notor Pool, liord Processing, Store - Small Store and Xerox, Workman' s
Compensation Insurance, Communicat~ons, and Helicopter usage. He said
that those departments will operate like a private business - selling
services to all of the other departments. ne noted that this procedure
is considered to be a good management tool in improving services and
controlling costs.
Chairman Pi~tor requested that Mr. Hall provide a brief explanation
of the column entitled "Reserve" and the one entitled "Budgeted Carry-
over." Hr. Uall said that the "Reserve" is that amount which is required
by Statute to be maintained and noted that only 95' of the anticipated
revonues can be budgeted other than revenues such as fund balance that
is budgeted from the prior year or, in some cases, very specific amounts
,,'here the exact amount is known. Other than that, said l-Ir. Hall, there

must be a 5' reserve included so that in the event all of the anti-
cipated reve,lues are not recei"ed, there is that amount of cash to
prevent the County from going into a deficit position. He added that
County Government is prohibited from operating at a deficit.
Continuing, Mr. Hall said that the column entitled "Budgeted
Carryovor" is that amount of money from the prior year's 5' reserve,
plus any unanticipated revenues that would build up a fund balance
which can be used in the coming year's budget. He said that the
budgeted carryover in the General Fund is much higher than anticipated
due to the establishment of a program, initiated by the Commissioners,
and through the Clerk's Office to assist them in budgetary control,
whereby any unspent funds were put into a reserve account so that the
Board of County Commiasioners could budget this fund as a budget
carryover for the next fiscal year.
Chairman Pistor explained that these monies make it possible
for the County to continue paying its bills without borrowing money
until the tax monies start to come in, noting that the fiscal year
is October 1 to September 30, but that the operating year is
January I through December 31. Mr. Hall stated that the cash
reserve for this year is sufficient to meet all projected
expenses in those first six weeks in which no funds are received
and that it is below the statutory limits for cash reserve. Chairman
Pistor pointed out that the manner in whlch the fiscal report is shown
and the way the County has been running that the County has been
granted a Grade "A" classification by both Standard and Poor, and
Moody financial firms, which will prove to be a financial savings
to the County.
Mr. Hall suggested that it would be appropriate to address the
matter of Workman's Compensation Insurance at this point. He said
t:hat"for the past three years the County has been experiencing sig-
nificant increases in premiums for this insurance; however, a three-
September 13, 1978
year review of actual experiences in Collier County has resulted in
the Cuunty receiving a refund in the amount of $182,000 whiQh he
said will help on the premium for this year which is $200,000 more
than was anticipated in the budget. Commbs~.oner Wimer inquired
if the $200,000 increase will be affected even though the reimburse-
ment is received, or if the premium will be lowered in the next fiscal
year. Mr. Hall responded that it can be reflected in the coming year
by the reserve build-up. He explained that as part of the partial self
insurance program effective September 1, 1978 it is anticipated that
there will be a reserve which has not been budgeted for and that the
reimbursement will help to offset the lack of a budgeted reserve.
Commissioner Wenzel moved that th~ refund under discussion be
accepted and placed into the insurance contingency fund. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Archer and carried unanimously 5/0.
Concerning the procedure for the pUblic hearing regarding the
budget, Commissioner Wenzel suggested that each item in the budget
be addressed separately and, if there is no person desiring to
speak on the item, that a motion be made for approval following which
the next item can be discussed. This procedure was agreeable to
the Chairman and the rest of thu Commissioners. Let the record reflect
that the ChairmAn called for comments before approval of each budget.
GENERAL FUND 001
Dept. 01 - Board of County Commissioners - $111,267
Chairman Pistor requested comments. City Councilman
Wau~ Schroeder inquired if ~he budget provides for
refund to the City for items of Double Taxation and,
if not, why. During the brief discussion which fol-
lowed, Commissioner Wimer offered the suggestion that
the problem be negotiated in the same manner that the
City and County resolved the water problem - let the
Fiscal Officers and attorneys work out what they feel is a
reasonable solution which can be presented to the two
pOlitical bodies. Mr. Schroeder commented that this
would be a new approach and worth exploring.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner
Brown and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Board of
County Conunissioneul' Budget (Dept. 01) in the amount
of $111,267 be approved.

Dept. O~ - Other General Administrative - $1,002,391
Chairman Pistor moved that this budget is $491,064
under the previous year's budget due in part to
the creation of new departments.
CommissJ.oner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner
Archer and card,ed unanimously 5/0, that the Other
General Administrative Budget (Dept. 05) be approved
in the amount of $1,002,391.
Dept. 21 - Criminal Justice Information System - $71,775
Mr. Hall said that the budget represents the allocated
expenses applicable to the fixed part of the operation
and the Data-Processing center.
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner
Wenzel and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Criminal
Justice Information System Budget (Dept. 21) be
approved in the amount of $71,775.
Dept. 03 - County Manager - $131,072
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner Wimer
and carried 4/1 with Commissioner Wenzel voting in the
negative that County Manager Budget (Dept. 03) be approved
in the amount of $131,072.
Dept. 08 - Building Maintenance - $622,990
It was pointed out by the Chairman that the budget is
8% above the previous year's budget dua to the addition
of personnel to maintain not only the 5th Floor of
Building "F", but the additional libraries and other
building work in Immokalee.
Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner
Archer and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Building
Maintenance Budget (Dept. 08) be approved in the
amount of $622,990.
"
Dept. 11 - Planning - $241,197
Mr. Paul E. Lees, Everglades City, noted that in
seven years the budget for this department has risen
from $36,000 to $241,000+ questioning the need for
the number of employees and also the Golden, Gate Study
being undertaken. Commissioner Archer commented that
lack of planning is what has necessitated the expenditure
with regard to the Study, adding that the County did not
have the population nor the problems back in the 60's
that it has now. Chairman Pistor also noted that the
state-mandated Comprehensive Plan is a further reason
for the increase in the budget and the size of the
budget.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, with reluctance, that the
Planning Department Budget (Dept. 11) in the amount of
$241,197 be approved, noting that, in his opinion, the
department has grown too fast. Commissioner Archer
seconded the motion which carried 4/1 with Commissioner
Brown voting in opposition.

September 13, 1978
Dept. 12 - Zoning - $148,648

Wimer and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Zoning" .'
Budget (Dapt. 12) in the amount of $148,648 be approved.
Dept. 71 - Veterans Service - $32,249
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner
Wimer and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Veterans
Service Budget (Dept. 71) be approved in the amount
of $32,249.
Dept. 73 - Animal Control - $100,884
Chairman Pistor explained that the subject budget
has increased $28,312 which it is expected will
be offset by revenues received due to the new
Animal Control Ordinance which has been passed. He
said that the staff has been increased by two em-
ployees, noting that the City of Naples has requested
that the County definitely control the animals throughout
the City which is a part of the reason for the additional
personnel.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner
Drown and carried 4/1 with Commissioner Archer voting
in opposition, that the Animal Control Budget (Dept. 73)
be approved in the amount of $100,884.
Commissioner Archer stated that he could not vote for
the budget because when the subject ordinance was sub-
mitted to the Board the statement was made that the
passage of same would not require additional manpower.
Dept. 86 - Library Operations - $417,824
Chairman Pistor pointed out that the budget shows a
moderate ~ncreaBe of $35,671 when the fact that the
two new libraries, and the temporary facility for
the North Naples operation, are considered.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner
Brown and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Library
Operations Budget (Dept. 86) be approved in the amount
of $417,824.
Dept. 87 - Parks & Rocreation - $386,097
Chairman Pis tor noted that one item in the budget has
increased considerably that being the cost for fertilizer
to maintain the properties on which the sports programs
are held. Although most of the areas being used are
School Board properties, Chairman Pis tor stated that
the County maintains them at'no cost to the School Board.
Commissioner Archer moved, seconded by Commissioner
Wimer and unanimously carried 5/0, that the Parks &
Recreation Budget (Dept. 87) be approved in the amount
of $386,097.

sition, that the Museum Budget (Dept. 89) in the amount
of $33,230 be approved.
Dept. 14 - Purchasing - $78,706
Chairman Pistor noting that the budget has been increased
6' explained that the Purchasing Department has taken
on some additional responsibilities and that the majority
of the increase is not only tho wage increase but also
these added responsibilities.
Commissioner Wimer moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown
and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Purchasing Department
Budget (Dept. 14) be approved in the amount of $78,706.
Dept. 15 - Personnel - $63,780
Chairman Pistor explained that a large part of the
budget increase of $14,415 is due to the fact that the
term under which CETA funds in that department can be
used has come to an end, noting that the County is a
growing operation and must have the necessary personnel
to operate the department and that a large part of the
increase is for this purpose.
Commissioner Wenzel moved, seconded by Commissioner
Archer and carried unanimously 5/0, that the Personnel
Budget (Dept. 15) in the amount of $63,780 be approved.
Dept. 55 - Solid Waste Control - $612,484
Commissioner Brown moved, seconded by Commissioner
Archer, that the Solid Waste Control BUdget (Dept. 55)
in the amount of $612,484 be approved.
Mr. Arndt Mueller, Naples resident, recalled that
during the prior yoar's budget hearings it was noted
that ~wo pieces of heavy equipment were going to be
purchased during the year and questioned what the
new budget purchases would consist of. County Engineer
Barksdale explained that the new equipment is to replace
a tractor-loader to be used at the transfer station to
replace an old Bobcat Loader and commented that the new
equipment purchased from the prior year's budget are
working beautifully and doing a good job.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried by
unanimous vote 5/0.
Dept. 60 - Engineering - $396,195
Chairman Pistor commented on the fact that the budget
is up $70,117 and explained that the increase is due,

curred and stated the increAsed cost will be offset
by increased revenues.

ADOPTION OF 1978-79 BUDGET
Fiscal Officer Harold Hall advised that the Board has now
adopted a budget for 1978-79 which will be entered into the l1inutes
as the adopted budget, noting that the Board will proceed with the
required public hearing on the one fund requiring the public hearings
before that millage can be finally certified to the Property Appraiser
Mr. Hall explained that the Millage Resolution that will now be pre-
pared will include all of the millages exactly as they are reflected
in the Notice of Public Hearing, and as discussed, and will also
include those independent taxing districts, which by Statute, the
B0ard of County Commissioner Certifies the millage to the Property
Appraiser. These districts include the independent fire districts _
Big Corkscrew, Bonita-Little HiCkory, East Naples, North Naples,
Immokalee, Marco Island, said Mr. Hall, and the Mosquito Control
District.
Mr. Hall explained that the two green binders presented to the
Board are: Volume '1, The line item revenues prepared in accordance
with the new Uniform Chart of Accounts and the column for
the anticipated amount reflects all of the approved revenue amounts
approved during the Special Session this date, and Volume '2, the
expenditure budget, by object group (not the line item budget which
was used for discussion purposes). He said that these documents will
be submitted for the records as the approved buget of the Commission
for the coming year.
Commissioner Wimer inquired if the millage has gone up or
down with the adoption of the budget. Mr. Hall replied that the
taxes will go down on any property that did not have an increase
in assessment value - in all of the districts. Not only was there a

millage change, said Mr. Hall, but the millage that will be
approved to reflect the budget, is not only lower than the Tax
Appraiser's certified millage, but is lower than the millage for
the current year. What this means, he said, is that there is an
actual dollar decrease and a millage decrease. Mr. Hall said that
the decrease in some areas is greater than in others, noting that
tpe~e are two areas where the millage is completely eliminated _
Irnmokalee Water/Sewer millage,'.and Marco Island Water/Sewer millage.
This is due, said Mr. Hall, to the fact that there are sufficient
funds there to meet the purposes which the Board approved. Also,
said Mr. Hall, every millage was decreased in the road districts
and practically every other district.

There being no further business for the good of the County,
