CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, the Board of County Commissioners' hearing is now in session. Will you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. (The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.) CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, County Manager. MR. OCHS: Commissioners, good evening. This is the second of two statutorily retired public hearings to adopt your fiscal year 2011 budget. I've put the agenda for this evening's meeting on the visualizer. And unless there's any other questions, with no further ado, I'll turn this to Mr. Isackson to take you through the agenda. MR. ISACKSON: Thank you, County Manager Ochs, and good evening, Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, members of the audience, and those watching on our Collier Television. Welcome to the final public budget hearing on Collier County's fiscal year 2011 budget which runs October 1,2010, to September 30th of 20 II. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 200, governing the annual truth and millage process, an advertisement for this hearing was published in the Naples Daily News on Monday, September 20,2010. This hearing date was also announced at the first public budget hearing on September 9,2010, and was contained within Resolution 2010-159 approving the tentative millage rates and tentative budget passed by the Board of County Commissioners on July 27, 2010. Agenda speaker slips are available in the hallway. You must register if you wish to address the Board of County Commissioners regarding the county budget. Mr. Ian Mitchell would take your speaker slips. Following some introductory remarks regarding tax rates, changes to the tentative budget initially approved by the Board of County Commissioners on the 27th of July, 2010, and subsequently Page 2 September 23,2010 amended at the first hearing on September 9,2010, there will be an opportunity under Item 2C on the agenda for public comment, and speakers will be called by name. Item #2A FY 2010-11 MILLAGE RATES AND INCREASES OVER THE ROLLED BACK RATES - DISCUSSED MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, if you'll bear with me, there are a number of items I have to place on the record relative to the TRIM statute. And we begin with Item A on the agenda, which is a discussion of the fiscal year 20 -- 2010/11 millage rates and increases over the rolled back millage rates. State law requires that the first substantive issues to be discussed at this hearing are, one, the percentage increase in millage over the rolled back rate needed to fund the budget and, two, the reasons ad valorem tax revenues above the rolled back rate as calculated on the state DR420 forms are being increased. Rolled back rate is defined as that tax rate necessary to raise the same amount of ad valorem tax revenue raised in the previous fiscal year. The calculation of the rolled back rate does not account for new construction. The board adopted budget guidance for fiscal year 2011 included a millage-neutral position of the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area General Fund. The fiscal year 2011/10 of the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund budget are presented -- as presented is based upon a millage-neutral tax rate. Neither of the substantive discussion topics mentioned above applies to the fiscal year 2011 Collier County budget based upon the TRIM statutory definition of ad valorem tax increased above the rolled back rate. Page 3 September 23,2010 Referring to Exhibit 2A, each Collier County taxing authority, exclusive of debt service, has currently set a millage rate, which is either at rolled back rate or below the rolled back rate. Budget guidance provided at millage-neutral tax rate positions would be taken in the General Fund and Unincorporated Area General Fund. Further MSTU tax rates would be set between millage neutral and tax neutral based upon their respective advisory board recommendations. MSTU rates where no advisory boards exist would be set at millage neutral or below. The cumulative aggregate rolled back tax rate for all Collier County taxing authorities, exclusive of debt service, totals 4.9264 per $1,000 of taxable value. The proposed aggregate tax rate for all Collier County taxing authorities, exclusive of debt service, totals 4.2596 per $1,000 of taxable value. This represents a decrease of 13.54 percent. No changes to the millage rates as tentatively adopted at the September 9,2010, public budget hearing are proposed. Item B on your agenda is a discussion of further amendments to the tentative budget. Further amendments to the tentative budget are contained within separate fund resolutions found under agenda Item 2B, Pages 1 to 15. These amendments reflect previous board actions connected with debt service, actions necessary to correct the budget based upon actual postings in our accounting system, grant requirements, or all other relevant actions of a routine nature. Item #2B FURTHER AMENDMENTS TO THE TENTATIVE BUDGET- DISCUSSED Page 4 September 23,2010 Further amendments to the tentative budget by fund dated September 23, 2010, as contained within the resolutions under attachment 2B represent a cumulative decrease of $10,138,800 from the approved tentative budget by fund dated September 9,2010. At this point, Mr. Chairman, I'll stop and entertain any questions regarding the changes to the tentative budget. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Henning? COMMISSIONER HENNING: I have two budget books, two final budget books, one I studied and one that was on the dais. Is there any difference between the two? MR. OCHS: Let's take a look, sir. CHAIRMAN COYLE: The one with September the 17th date, I think, is the most recent; September 17. I don't know if you have -- MR. OCHS: Yeah. CHAIRMAN COYLE: That's the most recent one. COMMISSIONER HENNING: September 17th? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Seventeenth, yeah. MR. OCHS: The memorandum on the front tab. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Okay. What's -- anticipating-- obviously the board approved these payments for the water and sewer. How come that wasn't reflected within the budget? Why do we -- why do we have an amended budget if it was approved previously? MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, these actions are in relation to the -- with respect to the water and sewer funds that you see in there? COMMISSIONER HENNING: Correct. MR. ISACKSON: They're primarily related to actions that took place by this board on the 14th at your board meeting. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Okay. MR. ISACKSON: The budget amendments that were done, those budget amendments are now being reflected in the adopted budget that we're moving forward for the beginning of October of Page 5 September 23,2010 2010. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Right. But one of them's stated, anticipated loan. MR. ISACKSON: That was a $4 million SRF loan, sir, that we had -- while we had anticipated it back in June, it's no longer necessary to draw on that loan so that, as a result, we're changing the budget accordingly. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Okay, thank you. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any other questions from commissioners? Item #2C PUBLIC COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS MR. ISACKSON: Mr. Chairman, ifthere are none, it would be appropriate for public comment at this time. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. How many public speakers do we have? MR. MITCHELL: We have one speaker, and that's Hans Meier. MR. MEIER: That's me. I'm Hans Meier. I'm here on behalf of the M- -- I forget the name -- MSTU proposed 1 mile or 1.29 miles of east Radio Road. They're proposing 687,000 to be spent over five years to plant trees on one mile. You people must be kidding. I'm pleading with you, put it to a vote by the people. Let the people decide. Mr. Henning told me I'm the minority. He talked to 90 people in three communities out of eight. I don't think this is American. I don't think this is right. You can do what you want. I'm a taxpayer. I'll pay what I have to. I don't have any backup. The news doesn't want me. MSTU, I was in twice. They have the thing all run. I asked one guy from there, how did you Page 6 September 23,2010 get on the board? He said, I just put my name in. I didn't know what it was all about. Those are the kind of people you make responsible for 687,000 to plant the trees? I plead my case. Thank you. Any questions? CHAIRMAN COYLE: I'd like some questions directed to the staff. Who approved or recommended the improvement to the Radio Road section that we're talking about? MR. ISACKSON: Well, originally, Commissioner, as you'll recall, there was -- there was substantial discussions before the district was even brought to this board for establishment. Once it was decided that -- and there was a sufficient number of petitions generating interest in establishing the MSTU -- 50 plus one, I believe; Mr. Feder? MR. FEDER: Yes. MR. OCHS: Yes. MR. ISACKSON: Then the matter was brought before this board, an ordinance was passed, and the district was established. CHAIRMAN COYLE: But the petitions came from whom? MR. ISACKSON: That would be the residents within the proposed district itself. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. MR. MEIER: Excuse me. Those were the big shots that were there. There were a few people writing them in. It was about 50 to one, you said, out of 3,000 people. Why can't this be on a tax -- on a voters' board where people could vote their piece? I know only 20, 30 percent vote, but at least there would be enough of them to vote. I was standing on the corner, and I was threatened with arrest because I tried to make people aware what's going on. But, you know, to me, something's fishy. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, here's the problem we have. There are probably, what, 25, 30 MSTUs that have all been formed as a result of the residents themselves. We did not form them just because we wanted to form them. The residents themselves petitioned us to Page 7 September 23,2010 form these MSTUs. Our general policy is, we will not form an MSTU unless you have at least 50 percent plus one of the residents submitting a petition, a signed petition, and that's how all of these MSTUs got created. You don't have the list up there, but there's 25 or 30 of these that we have in the county, and they're all formed exactly the same way, and they're all administered exactly the same way. And the residents have said, we want to do this beautification for our area. That is the most democratic way we can think of. We can't submit that to the entire county for a vote; that would be unfair. So, we've taken the vote from the residents in the area, and the residents in the area, by a majority vote, said, we want this MSTU set up. So my advice to you is, if you think they're not doing this properly, then maybe you should try to get on that MSTU board and get enough votes. And that's the way it started in the first place. Somebody went around and got enough votes to do this. Maybe someone can go around and get enough votes to stop doing it. MR. MEIER: Sir, I asked around. They said you don't read the bulletin board. The bulletin board hasn't been changed for three, four months. Again, there's hardly any people here. And I ask around; who came around to ask? All it was is, the 30, 40 people that were there at the meeting were asked, are you against it? Nobody told them how much money it was going to cost, that it was going to be 687,000 for one mile over five years. I'm not going to live long enough to see all the red cones over there and whatever's been done. The grass looks good. Bahaya needs fertilizer once a year, mowing every three, four weeks, self-seeding. Everything is good. You look out -- I drove out today on Davis Boulevard. There were about 30, 40 Mexicans putting stuff under the bedding under all the bushes and pulling weeds. They're spraying chemicals. All this Page 8 September 23,2010 stuff needs to be done year-round. I know it's going to be proposed and torn (sic), but don't you people ever think about the taxpayers and about the money it's going to cost you over the years? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Of course we do, but when taxpayers come to us and say they want to raise their own money to do this, what would you expect us to do, tell them no? MR. MEIER: They were not asked, sir. There were 50 people, and that's not 50 percent. They did not go around door to door. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Commissioner Coyle? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Fiala? COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes. I can just compare it to Bayshore, because that's the one I know. Nobody was ever going to landscape Bayshore, just like the county was not going to landscape Radio Road. Radio Road people had asked us many times, would you please landscape, and we said no, we just don't -- we just aren't going to do that, just like we weren't going to do Bayshore. We said, if you want to have landscaping, you have to form your own MSTU, and then you have to have your own board and you have to make your own decisions, and we'll abide by that. But it wasn't us that started it. It wasn't us that forced a number on your people, and it wasn't us that chose the people to serve on your board. It's your own people. MR. MEIER: Well -- but it's the -- it's 15 people on our board, on -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: They don't answer us to. MR. MEIER: -- at Sapphire Lakes, it's 15 people, and they went to the road, and 11 out of 15 voted for it, okay? They did not go door to door. The people that -- the people are busy working. They have 30 people at the meeting at the most, okay. And if 30 -- they're not afraid -- they're afraid of their neighbors. So they said, anybody against? Nobody standing up. I wasn't here. Right now a lot of people aren't here. Page 9 September 23,2010 But, ma'am, I feel, if they say 50 plus one percent, is that 15 people out of 450 condo units? My arithmetic might not be good, but that does not make sense to me, and they did not go door to door. I ask in various areas. Nobody came knocking on the door, do you want it. Ms. Chapman, the one that's almost done (sic) the MSTU all the way, they proposed -- they proposed not $100 trees. They proposed $1,400 trees to make a nice canopy. Florida's growing all the year. Why should they spend so much money? You look what they're planting now on the end of Radio Road. They go double on palm trees. They're going -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: But you're yelling at us, and we had nothing to do with that. I mean, it was your own people that defined what they wanted. MR. MEIER: It has -- in my view, the people -- you call it voters step (sic) on your sheet on the tax bill I got, which I don't understand because 50 people voting for it out of 3,000? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Look-- MR. MEIER: Okay. I've stayed. I'm sorry, but I had to say my piece. You check it. I'm right. Thank you. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Thank you very much. Commissioner Coletta? COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yeah, very briefly. I got right in front of me a notice about an MSTU meeting. It's a regular thing. We send out news releases on a regular basis when these meetings take place. Can we make it a special point that when that MSTU comes due that this gentleman gets a copy of it well in advance of the news release, and he can go around to his neighbors and bring whoever he wants to that meeting? COMMISSIONER HENNING: He goes to the meeting. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: He goes to them. Okay. Well, I don't know what to tell you. It's an open process, sir. MR. MEIER: Sir, I had to go to the road commission and had to Page 10 September 23,2010 ask to be on the mailing list. There was nothing in the paper, nothing on the bulletin board. And that's -- that's why I'm upset. And I shouldn't be, because I'm one out of 3,000. I'm just an ant, but that's not right. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you very much. Okay. Where do we go from here? Item #2D RESOLUTION 2010-176: AMENDING THE TENTATIVE BUDGETS - ADOPTED MR. ISACKSON: Commissioner, Item 2D on your agenda is a resolution to amend the tentative budgets. Under Item 2D, you will find the required resolution which amends the tentative budget. This action will include all the resolutions contained under Item 2B, Pages 1 to 15. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. You're looking for a motion to approve -- MR. ISACCSON: I am, sir. CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- 2D -- COMMISSIONER HALAS: So moved -- COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Second. CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- the resolution to amend the tentative budgets? Okay. Motion to approve by Commissioner Halas, second by Commissioner Coletta. Any further discussions? (No response.) CHAIRMAN COYLE: All in favor, please signify by saying aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. Page 11 September 23, 2010 COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Aye. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed, by like sign? (No response.) CHAIRMAN COYLE: The resolution to approve the tentative budget is approved unanimously.

It's not in any way connected with the adoption of the budget, but it has budgetary implications going forward in 2011, and that's your annual consideration of the role of capital project funds and grant funds moving forward into the FYll fiscal year from FYI0. That would be Item 16F4 on the agenda and a companion Item 171. The role in -- for the fiscal year 2010 of unspent dollars moving into fiscal year 2011, which will comprise part of the amended budget beginning October 1 st, is $306.2 million. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Those are capital projects? Page 18 September 23,2010 MR. ISACKSON: Yes. MR. OCHS: And grant funds, sir. MR. ISACKSON: And I just wanted to point that out to you. If you have any questions prior to the meeting on the 28th, I'd be happy to answer those for you. It was just a point of information that I wanted to raise to the board this evening. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Can we call you over the weekend while we're reading it? MR. OCHS: Certainly, certainly. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yes, give us your cell phone number. MR. OCHS: Read it right in. Tell the audience. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Anybody can call you. MR. ISACKSON: That's all I have, sir. MR. OCHS: Mr. Chairman, before you do adjourn this evening, again, I would just like to personally thank the constitutional officers, our division administrators, and our department directors, for the hard work that they've put into this budget, and I'd particularly like to thank Mr. Isackson and our budget office staff for the many, many hours that they've spent producing this budget for you. I think they've done a great job, and I'm very proud and personally grateful for their work. CHAIRMAN COYLE: And I would like to emphasize that for all of those people out there who will get a tax reduction this year, it's because of the work of all the people in all segments of government that have worked very, very hard to trim the budget and reduce the spending of Collier County Government. So many of you will be getting a tax reduction in a range of about 13.47 percent, ifI remember correctly. MR. OCHS: Yes, sir. CHAIRMAN COYLE: So it's -- and the millage rate is essentially the same as it was in 1999, if you can believe that. So the staffhas done a really good job. MR. OCHS: Thank you, sir. Page 19 September 23,2010 CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you very much. Is there a motion to adjourn? COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Motion to adjourn. COMMISSIONER HALAS: Motion -- second. CHAIRMAN COYLE: A lot of motions to adjourn. All in favor, please signify by saying aye. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye. COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Aye. CHAIRMAN COYLE: We are adjourned. Thank you very much.
