Commissioner Kowal noted that the City’s grant request for the Outfall Project was approved by the Tourist Development Council (TDC) and would be presented to the Board of Collier County Commissioners (BCCC) for final consideration, at which time he would advocate for its support. Commissioner Kowal further noted that the BCCC approved the Interlocal Agreement Between the City and Collier County that the Council was scheduled to consider for its approval that day under 7.J, which would designate Bayview Park for the staging and transfer of demolition debris from the Naples Pier Reconstruction Project. Commissioner Kowal subsequently utilized an electronic presentation to provide information on various projects located within the Bayshore Gateway Triangle subdistrict, and reviewed a list of county-wide developments approved by the BCCC over the past six months, including details on total acreage, location, number of units, and the number of affordable housing units for each development. Council Member Petrunoff noted that the list of projects approved by the BCCC would add 2,067 units and questioned whether the County had established a maximum build-out. Commissioner Kowal explained that the BCCC reevaluates its 50-year Growth Management Plan every five years. He noted that the County experienced significant and unexpected growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the Golden Gate Estates area. He added that the County is now focused on managing growth more effectively and encouraging commercial development in Golden Gate Estates, which he said would reduce traffic by creating jobs closer to where people live. Throughout discussion, City Council identified matters it desired the County to prioritize, including current and future development of the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Subdistrict, funding assistance for the Beach Outfall Project, workforce housing opportunities, infrastructure improvements, and maintaining a sustainable water supply. Mayor Heitmann requested that Commissioner Kowal ask the BCCC to consider agreeing to hold a joint workshop with the City Council, to which he agreed. Presentation (Staff/Added Attachment)

He stated that purchasing the property would not be a wise use of funds and suggested that the City should rely on the County to identify workforce housing solutions instead. Cliff Holland, President of the Moorings Property Owners Association (MPOA), addressed City Council regarding a recent fatal accident at the intersection of Crayton Road and Harbour Drive. He shared that a community survey identified this intersection as a top priority for safety improvements, with 50 percent of residents rating it as their primary concern. He noted that the MPOA Board reviewed the option of a roundabout and referenced federal Department of Highway brochures highlighting roundabouts as safer alternatives. He said the Board supports the installation of a roundabout at Crayton and Harbour, despite City Council’s previous approval of an alternative option. Mr. Holland stated that the Board scheduled a Town Hall within the Moorings community and another community survey was forthcoming. Joanne Connors addressed City Council regarding the fatal accident at the intersection of Crayton Road and Harbour Drive and urged City Council to consider installing a roundabout at that location.

City Attorney Matthew McConnell read the title of the Resolution. Mayor Heitmann inquired about future plans to replace the roof at the Norris Center. Facilities Maintenance Superintendent Travis Delashmet explained that TremCo Inc. had done an analysis of the roof system at the Norris Center and determined that a replacement of the roof was not required but evaluated the use of a coating system to perform necessary repairs. He noted, however, that TremCo Inc. would provide proposals for both the coating system and a complete re-roof for staff to compare the costs of each project. Superintendent Delashmet added that replacing the damaged gutter system was necessary at that time due to water intrusion into the building. Mayor Heitmann inquired about the status of a previous analysis done on all City facilities. Superintendent Delashmet stated that AD Morgan had performed inspections on all facilities, and that although some of the recommended improvements included in the inspection reports had been completed, those reports were considered outdated. City Manager Gary Young stated that although $300,000 had been budgeted for the previous three years for a Feasibility Study on City Facilities, an internal evaluation is needed first.

City Council Regular Meeting –April 2, 2025– 8:30 a.m. 7 Roll call votes by Council Members are recorded in random order, pursuant to City Council policy. 14.A) RESOLUTION 2025-15588 - A Resolution Waiving the Competitive Bidding Process; Approving a Purchase Order to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. for Sanitary Sewer and Water Distribution System Improvements to Resolve Utility Conflicts Associated with the Naples Beach Stormwater Outfall Project Located along Gulf Shore Boulevard and along 3rd Street North, in the Amount of $2,064,735; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Purchase Order; and Providing an Effective Date. City Attorney Matthew McConnell read the title of the Resolution. Public Works Director Robert Middleton noted the Outfall Project had commenced. He utilized an electronic presentation to provide an update on the Beach Outfall Project, which included background information, a progress update, project timeline, funding sources, and a map depicting outfall locations. Public Works Director Middleton noted the Outfall Project would not be completed until June 2027. City Council requested staff to proactively communicate with residents and provide timely project updates, particularly regarding road closures during the holiday season and special events. Public Works Director Middleton noted that the City utilizes several communication methods, and that the contractor is responsible for meeting with affected residents at least one week prior to any construction impacting access to their property. Public Works Director Middleton confirmed that portions of Gulf Shore Boulevard North would be elevated to improve water conveyance between drainage basins, with some areas raised by six inches and others by one foot. He noted that existing homes were considered when determining appropriate elevation levels along the Boulevard. Vice Mayor Hutchison expressed concern regarding the hotel opening during ongoing construction, noting that work on 8th Avenue South is not scheduled to begin until May 2025. Public Works Director Middleton acknowledged the concern and stated that there was a possibility that construction of the North Pump Station could begin earlier than planned, potentially allowing completion of major construction in that area by the end of 2025. He noted that because the pipe originally planned to be installed for the North Pump Station could not be delivered until June, a different material was ordered, which will be delivered three months ahead of schedule. Council Member Penniman raised concern regarding barnacles and oysters obstructing the outfall pipes and suggested that staff evaluate the long-term costs of maintenance. Public Works Director Middleton then reviewed the request to waive the competitive bidding process and approve a purchase order to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. for Sanitary Sewer and Water Distribution System Improvements that are needed in order to avoid conflicts with the Beach Outfall Project. Deputy Utilities Director Michelle Baines noted that the proposed work would be funded through the Water Sewer Fund. Public Comment: None.

Commissioners of Collier County for the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP); Authorizing the Mayor to Execute the Interlocal Agreement; Authorizing the Correction of Scrivener’s Errors; and Providing an Effective Date City Attorney Matthew McConnell read the titles of the Resolutions. Deputy City Manager Mari Gallet provided a brief introduction regarding the proposed Resolutions relating to affordable housing. She stated that the first Resolution would adopt the Collier County and City of Naples Local Housing Assistance Plans (LHAPs) and the second Resolution would approve the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Naples and the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County for the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. She then introduced Lisa Carr, Grants Coordinator at Collier County, who utilized an electronic presentation regarding the SHIP Program and proposed 2025-2028 LHAP Plan. The presentation included an overview of the Program; statutory requirements; estimated funding allocations to the City and County for Collier County FY2025-26; set-aside requirements for housing strategies related to home ownership, construction, special needs, very low-income, and low-income; a list of key strategies and funding priorities; and timeline of the proposed Plan. Collier County Grants Coordinator Carr noted that, upon City Council’s approval, the Board of Collier County Commissioners would consider final approval at its April 8, 2025 meeting, allowing submission to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation by the May 2, 2025 deadline. During discussion, City Council inquired about outreach efforts and the effectiveness of newspaper advertisements for the Program. Collier County Grants Coordinator Carr explained that the County contracts with a marketing company that promotes funding opportunities and Program incentives through social media, attendance at realtor and housing workshop events, and digital advertising. She noted that the State requires the County to advertise notices of funding awards in the newspaper. Collier County Grants Coordinator Carr confirmed that the County has partnered with Housing, Education and Lending Programs (HELP) to provide homebuyer education courses for SHIP participants. Council Member Kramer expressed appreciation for the City residents who received financial assistance under the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation and HHRP (Disaster Assistance) Programs last year but noted his desire to see the Program expanded. Collier County Grants Coordinator Carr responded to additional questions regarding funding distribution and set-aside requirements, confirming that if the City’s share of funding is fully allocated, City residents would still be eligible for assistance through the County’s share. She also confirmed that the City could request its funding allocation be directed toward a specific project, such as land acquisition for affordable housing, provided that a certain percentage of its beneficiaries meet the Area Median Income Limits (AMI) for the Program, but that the City’s allocation could not be used to pay off a bond related to affordable housing. She said there is opportunity every January for the City to apply for additional grant funding towards a specific project. Mayor Heitmann requested that Collier County Grants Coordinator Carr work with City staff to organize an educational outreach effort for City residents. Deputy City Manager Mari Gallet noted that the agenda materials included a program brochure containing AMI limits and the Program’s office phone number, (239) 252-2273. She stated that staff would promote the Program as widely as possible through the City’s various outreach methods. Public Comment: None.

He explained that improvements at that intersection were originally designed as a roundabout, but following extensive discussions, City Council decided not to continue with the roundabout plans and instead approved a mast arm project. He stated that most of the design work for the project had been completed and that an RFP was recently issued to begin improvements. He stated that staff would continue with the mast arm design, unless directed otherwise by City Council. Mayor Heitmann acknowledged concerns regarding safety at Crayton Road and Harbour Drive but said she had concerns about existing roundabouts at numerous locations. She suggested that the Police Chief and staff provide information so that City Council is confident in its decision in the current mast arm design. Council Member Christman expressed the view that when a community, through its HOA, requests reconsideration of a matter, Council has a responsibility to address it. He noted staff had been invited to an upcoming Moorings Property Owners Association meeting and suggested it could serve as an opportunity to present the design, costs, and advantages and disadvantages of the roundabout and mast arm traffic signal. Mayor Heitmann expressed concerns regarding involving staff in the matter when City Council had made a decision on it and for pausing the project until staff was prepared to proceed. Council Member Barton said although he was not on Council when the initial design was approved, a recent fatal accident may warrant renewed discussion. He recalled that Council had previously revised beach access plans following hurricane damage when new data supported changes. City Manager Young stated that staff would continue with the current RFP process but offered to have staff circulate information from previous meetings so that City Council could decide at its April 16, 2025 Regular Meeting whether to schedule a discussion for the May 7, 2025 City Council

City Council Members suggested that additional information regarding traffic volume data at and around Crayton Road, projected timelines and costs of each option, recent traffic reports from the Police Department, and safety criteria of roundabouts would be beneficial for the Council to review when considering the matter as well as sunrise and sunset times in relation to traffic patterns which may be helpful in evaluating whether lighting or visibility concerns may be contributing factors during peak travel periods. Later in the meeting, Council Member Barton expressed concern about ongoing flooding issues along 17th Avenue South, stating that, based on conversations with residents, he believed roadway repairs were necessary in addition to stormwater infrastructure improvements. City Manager Young explained that a portion of City Council’s 2025 Appropriation Requests to the State of Florida included funds towards the design of improvements along 17th Avenue South , and that the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) also allocates funds for both design and construction. City Manager Young noted that he had meetings scheduled with Public Works Director Robert Middleton regarding subsequent steps and that staff would present their findings and recommendations to City Council. Council Member Christman referred to a non-profit special event approved earlier that day on the Consent Agenda, noting that the application was submitted after the 180-day deadline and less than 60 days before the event. He expressed concern that late submissions create challenges for staff and emphasized the importance of City Council discussing the special events process in the near future. Council Member Christman referred to Commissioner Dan Kowal’s presentation earlier in the meeting and stated that it may not have been made clear that, while the majority of Naples’ coastline lies within Collier County, most public beach accesses are located within City limits. He cautioned against making statements suggesting that the City owns the beaches, affirming that the Florida Law has established that beaches are public and publicly accessible. City Attorney Matthew McConnell clarified that a customary use law was passed in 2018, and depending on the deed, some property owners may privately own the beach above the mean high-water line. However, he noted that most beachfront properties in Naples are not deeded to the mean high- water line. Council Member Kramer referred to a public comment made at the previous City Council meeting regarding Political Action Committees (PACs). He stated that he was uncertain whether City Council had the authority to take any action to discourage PACs from independently operating in local elections. He noted that State and Federal Election Laws impose limits on individual campaign contributions and that Council Members are prohibited from accepting donations directly from PACs. Council Member Petrunoff addressed the construction of the 30,000-square-foot jet center at the Airport, stating that during the 2021 City Council discussion of the Airport Utilization Plan, the proposed jet center was not included among the ten initiatives presented, nor was the location shaded as an approved element on the plans reviewed by Council. She expressed concern about the project's authorization and requested that a Stop Work Order be issued until the City Attorney completes his evaluation and determines whether the Airport had proper approval to proceed. City Attorney McConnell acknowledged the concern and stated he is currently gathering facts and has met with Airport staff. He noted that the referenced plans had not been presented to him but that he was provided with shaded plans and asked Council Member Petrunoff to email those plans for review. He expressed caution about issuing a Stop Work Order without a clear legal basis and emphasized that his priority is to ensure the City proceeds appropriately through a thorough fact-finding process to confirm legal compliance. He stated that he and City Manager Young are working together to prepare a presentation for the April 14, 2025 City Council Workshop Meeting, that City Manager Young had already met with the Planning Department, and that staff was

Vice Mayor Hutchison emphasized the importance of securing grant funding for various projects and ensuring the City has staff with the expertise to identify and apply for grant opportunities. City Manager Young noted that although the City does not have a dedicated grants department, staff actively pursues available grant opportunities and coordinates with the County and the City’s lobbyist to identify and apply for funding. Mayor Heitmann stated that she attended the Florida League of Mayors’ Legislative Week, noting it was not a positive experience due to the continued erosion of Home Rule through proposed legislation. She informed Council Members that the Florida League of Cities provides a legislative lobbying report, which is accessible on the organization’s website. Mayor Heitmann stated that City Manager Young has a valuable opportunity to assess the structure of the City's leadership. She expressed surprise at the number of items she believed had been completed, but were not, as well as how much progress had been made in the past month. She encouraged patience, noting that Mr. Young had stepped into a role with many unresolved issues. She stated that it is important for Council to work collaboratively and avoid placing staff in the middle of issues. She added that efforts were underway, and she is working with the Charter Officials on refining Council’s Rules of Procedure. City Manager Young noted that Mayor Heitmann requested rescheduling the September 15th and 17th budget meetings. He proposed the alternative dates of September 22nd and 24th, and requested Council Member’s confirmation so that staff could prepare a Resolution to officially change the meeting dates. Council Member Christman stated he was tentatively scheduled to be out of the country. Ensuing discussion, City Manager Young stated he would email several date alternatives to Council Members and follow up accordingly. 19) ADJOURNMENT 2:32 p.m. ____________________________ Teresa Lee Heitmann, Mayor _____________________________ Patricia L.
