ADJOURN Page 2 September 22,2011 September 22, 2011 MR.OCHS: Mr. Chairman, you have a live mic. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the Board of County Commissioners meeting is in session now. Will you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. (Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.) CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, this is our second hearing of the proposed budget. County Manager? MR. OCHS : Yes, Mr. Chairman, you're correct, this is the second of two statutorily required evening advertised public hearings to adopt your fiscal 2012 county budget. Florida Statutes prescribe a fairly specific order of presentation, and that is reflected in your agenda this evening, Commissioners. And if I might turn it to Mr. Isackson to take you through that order of presentation so we can meet our requirements under the statute? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, go ahead. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Do we really want to do that? MR. ISACKSON: Thank you County Manager Ochs. Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, members of the audience, those watching on Collier TV. Welcome to the final public budget hearing on Collier County's fiscal 2012 budget, which runs from October 1, 2011 to September 30th, 2012. Pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 200 governing the annual Truth in Millage process, an advertisement for this hearing was published in the Naples Daily News on Monday, September 19th, 2011. This hearing date was also announced at the first public budget hearing on September 8th, 2011, and was contained within Resolution 2011-125 approving the tentative millage rates and tentative budget passed by the BCC on July 26th, 2011. Agenda and speaker slips are available in the hallway. You must register if you wish to address the Board of County Commissioners regarding the county budget. Page 2 September 22, 2011 Mr. Ian Mitchell -- Ian, you might want to raise your hand, thank you, sir -- will take your speaker slips. Item #2A DISCUSSION OF FY 2011-12 MILLAGE RATES AND INCREASES OVER THE ROLLED BACK MILLAGE RATES MR. ISACKSON: Following some introductory remarks regarding tax rates and changes to the tentative budget initially approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 26th, 2011 and subsequently amended at the first hearing on September 8th, 2011, there will be an opportunity, that would be under Item 2.C, on the agenda for public comment. Speakers will be called by name. Commissioners, the first item is Item A, the discussion of the 2011-12 millage rates and increases over the rolled back millage rate. State law requires that the first substantive issues to be discussed are one, percentage increase in millage over the rolled back rate needed to fund the budget. And two, the reasons ad valorem tax revenue above the rolled-back are calculated -- as calculated on the state's DR-420 forms are being increased. The rolled back rate is defined at that tax rate necessary to raise the same amount of ad valorem tax revenue raised in the previous fiscal year. Calculation of the rolled back rate does not account for new construction. The Board adopted budget guidance for fiscal year 2012 that included a millage neutral position for the general fund and the unincorporated general fund. The fiscal year 2012 tentative general fund and unincorporated area general fund budget as presented is based upon a millage neutral tax rate. Neither of the substantive discussion topics mentioned above applies to the fiscal year 2012 Collier County budget based upon the TRIM statutory definition of an Page 3 September 22, 2011 ad valorem tax increase above the rolled back rate. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Mark, could you just briefly elaborate on what a tax neutral or millage neutral budget is. MR. ISACKSON: For those in the audience, the millage neutral is the same tax rate that we raise in the -- that we levied in the previous fiscal year. And we've had a millage neutral budget for the last three fiscal years. CHAIRMAN COYLE: That means we haven't increased the millage rate in the last three years. MR. ISACKSON: That's right. Tax neutral is a little bit different in that that's essentially the rolled back rate. Revenue neutral is a much different animal in that it brings into account all the other revenue sources where there may have been a loss from revenue from one year to the next and you're trying to make up those revenue losses through an increase in your millage rate. And to my knowledge, Commissioners, I don't think we've ever done that since I've been here, so -- CHAIRMAN COYLE: That's true. MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, referring to Exhibit 2-A in your agenda packet, each Collier County taxing authority, exclusive of debt service, exclusive of voter approved millage rates for operating in debt, and exclusive of the Pelican Bay MSTU and BU has proposed a millage rate either at rolled back or below the rolled back rate. Budget guidance provide that the millage neutral tax rate position be taken in the general fund and the unincorporated area general fund. Further, MSTU tax rates would be set between millage neutral and tax neutral, based upon the respective advisory board recommendation. MSTU tax 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, totals 4.5149 per $1,000 Page 4 September 22, 2011 of taxable value. The proposed aggregate tax rate for all Collier County taxing authorities, exclusive of debt service, totals 4.3299 per $1,000 of taxable value. And this represents a decrease of 4.1 percent. No changes to the millage rates as tentatively adopted at the September 8th, 2011 public budget hearing are proposed. Item #2B DISCUSSION OF FURTHER AMENDMENTS TO THE TENTATIVE BUDGET MR. ISACKSON: Commissioners, Item 2-B on your agenda is a discussion of further amendments to the tentative budget. Further amendments to the tentative budgets are contained in the separate fund resolutions found under agenda Item 2.B, that's Pages 1 and 2 of your agenda. The amendment presented reflects previous board action at the public budget hearing on September 8th, 2011 whereby $50,000 in funding was authorized for benefit of the Early Learning Coalition. The $50,000 appropriation was established in Economic Fund 007, placing subsequent reduction in Fund 007 reserves. Further amendments to the tentative budget by fund dated September 22nd, 2011 as contained within the resolutions under attachment 2-B represent a zero dollar change from the approved tentative budget by fund dated September 8th, 2011. At this point, Commissioners, staff would be happy to entertain any questions regarding the proposed further amendments to the FY12 tentative budget. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioners, any questions? (No response.) CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, let's continue. Page 5 September 22, 2011 Item #2C PUBLIC COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS MR.OCHS: Commissioners, that takes us to Item 2.C on your agenda, public comments and questions. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. MR. MITCHELL: Sir, we have three speakers this evening. The first speaker will be Steve Donovan. MR. DONOVAN: Thank you, Commissioners, County Manager. My name is Steve Donovan. I do represent the Collier County EMS employees as the DVP for 1826, District 14. We are a service that do appreciate your attention and your kindness, actually, in these budget times. And the stability that you brought to our department in this budget is appreciated. It's tough times for everybody and we know it. But I want to say more than anything else, it's not a budget that can't be worked with. And that as employees that we see how things are tough out there and we know there's loss of jobs in the county and we know how difficult it is, but this budget is manageable. And what I'm here basically to say is that we will work with you and to make sure that you will always receive the best service from an essential service, like all EMS and fire departments and Sheriffs Department in the county. But I'm here most of all just to say thank you and look for your continued support. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you, Steve. Commissioner Hiller? COMMISSIONER HILLER: Steve, can I ask you a couple of questions? MR. DONOVAN: Yes. COMMISSIONER HILLER: And you're familiar with this Page 6 September 22, 2011 budget being proposed and you know what you need to operate your division to achieve the level of service that has been proposed for this county . Are you adequately funded? MR. DONOVAN: Well, I would say yes, we are. We will have to get by with what is given to all departments. And yes, we will manage. Between fees and the ad valorem, yes, we will get by and we will -- COMMISSIONER HILLER: You have enough -- MR. DONOVAN: Yes, ma'am. COMMISSIONER HILLER: -- ambulances and -- MR. DONOVAN: Yes, ma'am. Yes. And I believe there's going to be some new capital coming through there too. And no, I do not see where we're going to have any type oflay-offs with this and that we will be able to manage with the proposed budget. So yes, it will be fine. COMMISSIONER HILLER: And, I mean, you have enough ambulances, you -- MR. DONOVAN: Yes. COMMISSIONER HILLER: -- have enough equipment? MR. DONOVAN: Yes, absolutely. COMMISSIONER HILLER: You have everything you need to provide the level of service. MR. DONOVAN: Absolutely. And county-wide. Yes, absolutely. Would you like more? Of course. We always want more, you know. But we're geographically one of the largest counties in the state, so what we look forward is still a continuously stable economy and -- or budget, and then we can always when times get better Increase. COMMISSIONER HILLER: Can you define the level of service that will be provided with the budget being proposed? Page 7 September 22, 2011 MR. DONOVAN: Well, it should be stable. We shouldn't be able to shut down trucks or stations and -- COMMISSIONER HILLER: Do you recall the response times? MR. DONOVAN: Not right off the top of my head, but it should be with a -- what we've been already provided and -- COMMISSIONER HILLER: Which I believe was like eight minutes for -- MR. DONOVAN: It's about eight minutes. COMMISSIONER HILLER: -- between eight and nine minutes for ALS response times? MR. DONOVAN: Depends on the part of the county, yes. But most of the times, you know, depending where you are, we can get there sooner. Sometimes, you know, if it's busier during the season it might take a little longer. COMMISSIONER HILLER: Isn't it 12 minutes for eastern -- MR. DONOVAN: Well, something like that. But it's still one of those things that is doable. In my 26 years in the county, I have seen things improve overall. I always want to see, you know, more improvement, because you're right, more trucks is better for all. But what we need is really just keeping it stable and making sure things aren't -- we're not shutting down stations or trucks. COMMISSIONER HILLER: Thank you. MR. DONOVAN: Thank you. MR. MITCHELL: Sir, your next speaker is Hans Meier. MR. MEIER: My name is Hans Meier. I'm just a county resident and I've been here before. I know Mr. Henning knows me. I tried to talk to him before and for some reason was always something else. All I'm saying is -- my main kick is beautification of Radio Road. I feel-- it's 2.8 miles. Radio Road is 200 and 307,000 per year just for 2.8 miles. And now it's proposed one mile of east Radio Road 158,000 for this year. But the committee of seven people voted to Page 8 September 22, 2011 spend $685,000 the next five years to beautify a street which is six miles from town, it's out in the county, you've got hundreds of miles all over, Santa Barbara, Davis Boulevard, the road coming in from 846. You have to central beautify it. But why should you spend, instead of mowing it, four people can do one mile in four hours. After this it will cost over $100,000 a mile to maintain it? You spray chemicals, you spray fertilizer. Everything is overdone. It all goes in your water system. Why shouldn't you leave the grass alone that's in the outer -- out in the county? And you keep on spending. And this committee here consists of seven people. They want beautiful canopies, they want all this -- almost like Disney World. I feel it's more dangerous to have all those bushes in there. Like in our -- I live in Sapphire Lakes. There's three subdivisions making a U-turn right in front of us. If you're going to have bushes and trees there, there's going to be accidents. This is what happened in here with where the trailer parks are where you had to spend 86,000 miles (sic) for a stoplight because one lady got killed. This is going to be the same thing. Right now, anybody -- I take anybody out for a drive in the county. I lived here 26 years, I worked for the county for two years and for the state for 18 years. And I know money can be saved. I would much rather see you spend it on a couple of policeman or some extra firemen instead of spending 450,000 a year for about three-and-a-half or 3.6 miles. I don't know if it doesn't sink in. I pay my taxes. But to keep going like this. There's going to be water shortages. We were lucky we got the rain, but you just can't put pumps in the ground and get water from someplace. I hope you think about it. Thank you very much. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you. Commissioner Hiller? COMMISSIONER HILLER: No, that wasn't mine. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Oh, Commissioner Fiala? Page 9 September 22, 2011 COMMISSIONER FIALA: Yes, thank you. Mr. Meier, I'm sure that we've told you this before, even though you said you don't know why we can't understand. This is not something we're doing. The taxpayers out here are not paying for Radio Road, and we're not voting that into our budget out of taxpayer dollars. This is Radio Road residents who have voted to tax themselves, not anybody else in the county, just themselves. And they're the committee that makes the decision and decides what they want it to look like. We don't make the decisions and we don't do the maintenance. They pay for everything. MR. MEIER: You're the County Commissioners. I look -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: When you take your money, you've decided to go to the grocery store and you're going to buy whatever you want for your meals. I can't tell you what to do there, because it's your own money . Well, same with Radio Road, that's their own money. We're not going to tell them what to do. MR. MEIER: We didn't have a chance to vote. They did this in the summertime. I was up north for a death in the family, okay. And then they told me there were 101 people there and about 15 of them spoke for this out of 2,000 people. And then it got said 50 percent of the people voted for it. I'd like to see the names. COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, I'm just telling the people out there who are listening to you that they're not paying for this maintenance, they're not paying for this grass, they're not paying for Radio Road, just the people along Radio Road MSTU are paying for it. That's my message. Thank you very much, sir. MR. MEIER: This is -- the grass is there and you don't need it. CHAIRMAN COYLE: I'm sorry right, Commissioner Hiller, just a moment. As we've told you before, you need to go to the Radio Road MSTU and talk with those people. Those people are representing your neighborhood. They are the ones who are making the Page 10 September 22, 2011 recommendations to spend the money. That's what they were there for. So if you're unable to get support in your community to stop this, it means that the majority of the people want it done. So that's the way these MSTU's work. And there's a whole list of them here. You've seen the list ofMSTU's. They're all over the county, and they all work pretty much the same way. MR. MEIER: Well, I'm against it because I feel the County Commissioners should be responsible. If they want to spend $100,000 extra per mile to keep it beautiful, they should go to the voters who are going to spend it and see if they get elected. CHAIRMAN COYLE: That's why you need to go to their meetings and talk with that board. MR. MEIER: I've been there. CHAIRMAN COYLE: And you haven't been able to convince them. MR. MEIER: And they don't like me. There were four extra chairs there at the meeting. I went with my wife. Nobody else was there. And when I stated my case they said oh, you're too late, the meeting was last year. It was approved in the summertime and nobody was there. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Henning? COMMISSIONER HENNING: Hopefully soon we will have on our agenda a referendum question within this taxing district pertaining to the beautification on Radio Road. That's one thing that-- MR.OCHS: Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER HENNING: -- hopefully we're going to have soon on the agenda for the Board to consider. MR.OCHS: Yes. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Hiller? COMMISSIONER HILLER: Jeff, isn't the Board of County Page 11 September 22, 2011 Commissioners the board that oversees the MS TU? I mean, they don't have independent discretion. Don't we have to finally approve, you know, whatever they propose? Isn't their role merely advisory? MR. KLATZKOW: That's correct. COMMISSIONER HILLER: As far as the gentleman -- the board you were talking about -- do you want to come back up? MR. MEIER: Oh, yes, gladly. COMMISSIONER HILLER: I just want to make sure that, you know, how this works is completely explained so there aren't any misunderstandings. The board that is making these recommendations about how the money should be used to beautify Radio Road is an advisory board. They are not a board with any authority to decide how those funds will be expended. They're proposing a budget. And the County Attorney just explained that the Board of County Commissioners is in fact the responsible board for making the decision that those funds are spent on that road. So I heard your frustration when you said that -- MR. MEIER: Miss, I appreciate it. I went to the meetings -- COMMISSIONER HILLER: The point being is you are right. MR. MEIER: Yeah, I went to the meetings. I found out, this stuff should have been posted in every subdivision responsible for the extra money. They said it was. I looked on every bulletin board. It should be updated. They should have told the people it's going to cost you instead of the county paying for it for $12,000 or 14,000 a mile, it's going to cost you about $100,000 a year to take care of the mile, and you're going to be paying for it. A lot of people are working, they don't have time to go to meetings, and they have the meetings when there's nobody here. Like you have this one here, most of the snow birds or most of the people in those subdivisions up north, a lot of them -- I've got a son that moved to Naples, he bought out on Immokalee Road, he bought a condo. On his tax bill it says MSTU voted. He just bought two years ago. His is Page 12 September 22, 2011 only -- he's got his $25,000 exemption. He can't find ajob so he works at Publix in Bonita. What he pays is $27. That's a part-time day's work, which is paying for what that the area has done this to charge it? And I would like -- I would like to stop it here, because people -- water is going to be a precious resource. People are complaining now of being more sick. The water are polluted with fertilizer runoff. But this should be studied by people, sit together and look, they're watering and fertilizing so much. You look at all the sign, people working, people working. I worked in half a part of the world. The way they're working here, you're going to have a law case on your hand, because people are not wearing masks, they're not wearing rubber boots and gloves when they're spraying hazardous chemicals, they're spraying bug stuff. If somebody would watch it -- I would be worried if I would be employing them. I don't know. But I just wanted to make you aware, because the more of these pop up -- we had a fire drill there. I went out and I went to the guy that seconded most of that stuff. I said sir, how did you get on this board? He said, I didn't know what to do, they said there's an opening, I signed my name, I didn't know what I was getting into. Thank you. COMMISSIONER HILLER: Again, the issue is that these are advisory boards. And ultimately it is the Board of County Commissioners who's adopting the budget, and the Board will be approving these expenditures. Has staff looked into the reasonableness of what's being proposed here? MR. ISACKSON: Yes, ma'am. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Mr. Mueller is going to oppose this MS TU and the beautification like he has done in the past. Period. Okay? The people within the taxing unit will have a vote this year. COMMISSIONER HILLER: That's coming up on a Page 13 September 22, 2011 referendum? COMMISSIONER HENNING: Well, if staff gets it on the agenda and the Board approves it, yes. COMMISSIONER HILLER: That's great. COMMISSIONER HENNING: And Mr. Meier will continue to oppose it, okay. And his statement about or is alluding to that I won't talk to him or meet with him, it's not true. And this will continue year after year, period. COMMISSIONER HILLER: I understand. And thank you for pointing it out. I think it's a positive thing. Commissioner Henning is indicating that this will be on the ballot as a referendum item, and then you will hear what everybody thinks. And if people agree with you, it won't continue and if they disagree with you, it will continue. MR. MEIER: I talked with Mr. Henning over the telephone once. I stated my problem. I said there's many taxpayers that don't have the money and which are trying to make it through. And he said, you're the minority. Sir, I looked at you, you told me that. Thank you. COMMISSIONER HENNING: And he will be after the referendum. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Next speaker? MR. MITCHELL: Sir, your next speaker is your last speaker and it's SheriffRambosk. SHERIFF RAMBOSK: Good evening, Chairman, members of the Board, staff. I just want to take a moment to thank you as the Board of County Commissioners and your staff for all the support that you've given to us and all the public safety this past budget year. As I can tell you, we work with your directors in the back on a regular basis, and they have certainly provided everything that we Page 14 September 22, 2011 have ever asked and more. I thought it would be appropriate to recognize the community members as well, because without them our neighborhoods would not be quite as safe as I believe they are today. I want to recognize our businesses, because without their help our summer programs youth expansion certainly would not have been where they are. And of course the men and women of the Collier County Sheriffs Office who remain committed even during this very, very difficult time, because working together with all of these individuals and elements of county government we have been able to accomplish more with the dollars that our taxpayers have provided us. And that's very important. Holding the line on crime through 2010, holding the line on accidents in counties with populations of 100,000 or more, that is a terrific accomplishment for this community. So I just wanted to thank everyone for that. We have been able to complete all of this in the current budget year within budget, which not everyone throughout the nation can do today. So we're very proud of that. And I know your staff has done the same. So as a community we're very, very proud. We've prepared a budget in accordance with the loss of ad valorem tax dollars, we've prepared one that retains the level of service. And I believe will be able to provide more service. That's because we have a great finance department within the Sheriffs Office; they're back here. And certainly recognize the people that help me make it work, Director Spell, Chief Bloom, Chief Williams, Chief Smith and Chief Sally, who helped keep me on track all year long. So thank you very much. Thank you to your staff. Thank you to the community and business for a terrific year, and we're looking forward to a good one as well. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you, Kevin. And we do Page 15 September 22, 2011 appreciate your help. Without your help in taking your share of the budget cuts, we could not have had a budget that holds a line on taxes. You have been very cooperative. And without your cooperation, we could not have done what we have done. Thank you very much. Commissioner Coletta? COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yes, I don't have anything to say to Sheriff Rambosk other than the fact I appreciate everything you're doing, and the way you worked with us has been very refreshing. I do have something else I'd like to bring up. This is the last speaker; is that correct? MR. MITCHELL: Yes, it is. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: I have a letter I received from the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association. And this letter I'd like to read into the record. December 14th, 2011, regarding firebreak maintenance budget line item. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Golden Gate Estates residents and in the interest of public safety, economic opportunities for reorganized ecotourism and its supportive efforts made to protect and prevent wildfires, we respectfully request the insertion or institution of a budget line item funding for maintenance and upkeep of firebreaks in the eastern area of Collier County. In conjunction, partnerships and cooperation with the Florida Forestry Service, fire districts and the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association, we are finalizing a community wildfire protection and preventative plan and as a part of our wildfire education, wildfire prevention and protection area, will seek a designation for Golden Gate Estates as a recognized fire-wise community. Florida Forestry (sic) Service conducts an annual wildfire risk reduction program in Collier County to reduce wildfires spread. Most of the projects have been done in Golden Gate Estates where the Page 16 September 22, 2011 greatest wildfire threats exist in Collier County. The Caloosahatchee Forest Center receives funds to conduct additional mitigation work through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which allows the center to conduct more extensive mitigation projects. However, those funds are no longer available. The Forest Center will continue mitigating efforts but without additional funding. The center will be unable to sufficiently maintain any firebreaks created. As such, we request that the County Commission and the office of budget and maintenance incorporate a fire maintenance line item in the budget and funds and coordinate the maintenance of these firebreaks through appropriate channels. A recommended value would be 75,000. Source of the funding that might/could be considered include energy savings from the seasonal turnoff of rural roadway lighting, the unincorporated maintenance road fund, a part of the unincorporated MSTU that applies to road landscaping on Golden Gate Boulevard be reduced for firebreak maintenance or other sources, as may be determined appropriate. The maintenance of firebreaks is a matter of public safety. There are several miles of firebreaks that have been created in the last few years. Without a funding source for maintenance, the cut firebreaks rapidly grow back and become ineffective over a period of time. Whereby the county has an interest and expends funds to maintain and upkeep coastal beaches through renourishment proj ects (sic) and proj ects, so too it is necessary for maintenance resources and tourism in the interior of the county. For every major wildfire, opportunities for ecotourism are put on hold. More concerning is that without maintaining of firebreaks, the benefits gained from creating them are minimal and the potential for loss of life and homes increase with time. It is important that we advance the action of the community wildfire protection plan and preparing and protecting the community from wildfires. Page 1 7 September 22, 2011 Please establish the firebreak maintenance within the county budget and provide means for maintenance and protection for the community at risk. And it's signed respectively, James Flanagan, III. And the reason I'm reading this in is that he had this attached to an e-mail saying that he wouldn't be able to be here tonight to offer to be able to offer this up to the commission. And being that this is an important item, I realize that the lateness of it probably makes it difficult to act on, but, you know, we've got another year coming up and we do have an issue with fires within the Estates that we do have a way to be able to mitigate it. And I'd like to be able to have staff at some point in the near future look into the possibilities of working with this firewise group and maybe seek out some grants to be able to find funding for the next upcoming fire season, if at all possible. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, now, that brings up another issue. And by the way, I would support your interest in asking staff to take a look at this for the future. But the thing that bothers me is that we haven't heard anything from the fire district itself. We haven't gotten anything from the board chairman or from the chief. We have a communication from Mr. Flanagan who is chairing a committee of the fire district. We don't know if he speaks for the fire district or not. We don't know what the fire district's capabilities are. They have not communicated any of those things to us. So I think it's important that we get the right people involved here. And of course the expression of concern by the property owners association out in the Estates area is very valid. There are other players in this game and we need to get them all involved. But your suggestion that the staff take a look at alternatives and what would be the most appropriate way to handle this is certainly supportable from my standpoint. Page 18 September 22, 2011 Commissioner Hiller, you might -- you were going to go to another subject, weren't you? COMMISSIONER HILLER: I was going to talk about the Sheriff. But I don't want to interrupt this -- CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, if you'll let us finish this-- COMMISSIONER HILLER: Yes, absolutely. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Go ahead, Commissioner Henning? COMMISSIONER HENNING: Yeah, I don't -- I'm not sure if there is any public easements, firebreak easements in Golden Gate Estates. In fact, all the easements out there were vacated. And besides the fact, I think -- what have we got, five independent self-supporting fire districts? MR. OCHS : Yes, sir. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Yeah. So this sounds more like an issue that needs to be handled by the independent fire districts, personally. I mean, firebreaks on private property? Can we spend -- can we spend monies on private property? Can we spend tax dollars on pri vate property? MR. KLATZKOW: If you find a public purpose. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Okay. I'm sure we can, you know. You talk about spending money, I'm sure we can find that purpose. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah, we can do amazing things like that. Commissioner Coletta, you want to make -- COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yes, I -- you're right, Commissioner Henning, it is a real valid concern, you know, about spending public money. There is no designated property lines. We have an easement to be able to do it. I sat in on this firewise thing when it was taking birth and going forward. It's a voluntary program. You have to allow it to take place Page 19 September 22, 2011 on your land. The idea being if you can reduce some of the vegetation that's out there, then you have not only a firebreak but you reduce the risk of fire spreading from one point to another. And they were fairly successful. They got these large machineries to do nothing more than mash up the undergrowth to a point that it lays flat on the ground, will decompose, offering a break. Some property owners do not want them on there, so it's not totally effective. However, when you're looking for alternatives to try to get to a point where you can provide safety, everything's worth a consideration. It might not be economically feasible in the end, but once again, this is -- one of my constituents has brought up a valid concern, I'm bringing this letter forward for this Commission to be aware of. COMMISSIONER HENNING: If I may continue? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Sure. COMMISSIONER HENNING: The other thing I think you need to take a look at is our Land Development Code and the rights for how much property -- how much land that you can clear in Golden Gate Estates. I think it's an acre, unless you get special permission from the government. Of course I think there's a lot of restrictions in Golden Gate Estates that you can't do that just doesn't make sense. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, we can't solve this tonight, but can we agree that staff will take a look at it and provide some guidance to us in the future? COMMISSIONER HENNING: I would like to hear from somebody -- and I know Mr. Flanagan -- but we can't give this money to a volunteer board or volunteer group, you know. If somebody wants to petition the Board as far as, you know, a public entity, I think it's worth listening to that person in a public petition. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: One last point if I may, sir? CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah. COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Mr. Summers, you're very Page 20 September 22, 2011 familiar with this program, and I don't think you have to go into too much detail, but if you could enlighten myself and my commissioners as to where this has been and where it would be going in the future and maybe what the county's role would be or maybe it shouldn't be? MR. SUMMERS: Thank you, Commissioners. For the record, Dan Summers, Director of Bureau of Emergency Services. Let me just -- let me share one thought with you. And the fact is that it is extremely challenging for the county to engage in this because of the rite of entry. The real trick here is that Forestry has some statutory authority for that firebreak and can move much forward -- move forward in their statutory authority for wildfire mitigation far greater than we can just for the reasons that you all brought up. So I would just have to tell you that it would go back and take some research. And really, your Forestry partners need to be here for that discussion, because they have all the environmental clearances, the right equipment, and the strategy and tactics for what areas that they want to do for that mitigation effort. So I think all of your comments are valid for more research. But really, the ownership of that firebreak management is our State Division of Forestry. Thank you. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you. COMMISSIONER HENNING: That's something maybe the legislators ought to take up during their budgetary process. Because that's the State Forestry. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, can we agree that -- to ask the staff to give us some recommendations on how to approach that, whether it's to go to the State Forestry -- MR. OCHS: Pleasure of the board. We would be happy to do it, sir, if that's the pleasure of the Board. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Do we have enough -- COMMISSIONER FIALA: Sure. Page 21 September 22, 2011 CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- support on the Board to do that? Okay, we have three nods? COMMISSIONER HENNING: I would like to hear from a government agency. And I think that's the best way to do it is let them come to us. And Mr. Flanagan is a very well-spoken and very knowledgeable person, and I think his intent is well meaning, but we're not going to give the money to a volunteer group. So if the Forestry needs money, then maybe that would be the appropriate entity to come to the Board, petition the Board. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Maybe that would be the recommendation of staff, to get him here. MR.OCHS: Could very likely be, yes, sir. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Hiller? COMMISSIONER HILLER: Yeah, I would like to commend the Sheriff for the amount of money that he cut his budget by without feeling that he would compromise his level of service. When I was rereviewing the budget, what was clear to me is that in absolute dollars, forget about percentages, you are cutting your budget more than anybody else. To the tune of millions. And that is very significant. So I want to thank you for your contribution and your ability to, you know, manage what you owe to the community while at the same time being fiscally conservative. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Let's be more precise. He cut his budget more than any other Constitutional officers, but not as much as the county government. COMMISSIONER HILLER: But look at all the divisions individually within county government and you've done more and better. So we're going to keep going back and forth -- CHAIRMAN COYLE: But you're not a division. COMMISSIONER HILLER: But, you know, it doesn't matter because you've got to look at the total budgets. Anyway, you're doing a great job, notwithstanding what the Page 22 September 22, 2011 Chairman just said. So I commend you. Twice already. CHAIRMAN COYLE: I do too. COMMISSIONER HILLER: In fact, I'll do it three times. CHAIRMAN COYLE: More than she does. COMMISSIONER HILLER: No, I say it more than him. Just kidding. You really are doing a great job, and thank you for all the money you save. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, where do we go now? You've got to read all this garbage again? Item #2D RESOLUTION 2011-165: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET - ADOPTED MR. ISACKSON : We're getting to that point, sir. But Commissioner, Item 2.D is a resolution to amend the tentative budget. Under Item 2.D you'll find the required resolution which amends the tentative budget. This action will include all the resolutions which is one, contained under items 2-B, Pages 1 to 2. Motion would be in order. COMMISSIONER HENNING: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion to approve Resolution No. 2011, whatever -- resolution amending the tentative budget for the fiscal year 2011-2012. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, motion to approve by Commissioner Henning. COMMISSIONER FIALA: And a second. CHAIRMAN COYLE: Second by Commissioner Fiala. All in favor, please signify by saying aye.
