a. ID 18-724 Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Reverse Osmosis Membranes
for the South Water Treatment Plant for Fiscal Years 2019, 2020, and

City of Marco Island Florida Page 2
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 22, 2019
(Editorial History: Reverse osmosis (“RO”) membranes are tightly wound in a spiral configuration
and filter water under high pressure. All filtration elements such as RO membranes become fouled,
deteriorate, and lose their efficiency with use as they age, resulting in higher energy costs to produce
the same amount of water. The RO membranes at the South Water Treatment Plant (“SWTP”) have
reached the end of their service life. The existing membranes that need to be replaced were installed
in 2009 and 2010. RO membranes have a life expectancy of 5-6 years. There are six membrane
racks at the SWTP. The City publicly bid the purchase of the membranes for all six racks in 2016
via Invitation to Bid (“ITB”) # 16-08. The City has already purchased and replaced membranes for
three of the six racks within the past two years. The membranes in the remaining three racks will
need to be replaced in the next three years to spread the cost of replacements in accordance with the
approved CIP budget. The amount of $85,000 per year for replacement of the RO membranes is
included in the City’s CIP budget approved by Council for the next two years and $50,000 each year
thereafter. The amount of $23,445 was carried over from FY18, so there are sufficient funds in the
existing CIP for the purchase of the remaining membranes for three racks over the next three years,
providing 2020 and 2021 are budgeted as currently planned. Staff is hereby requesting approval from
council to purchase membranes for the remaining three racks in the next three years (FY 2019, 2020,
and 2021) at $79,705.87 per year for 2019 and 2020 in accordance with the pricing that was publicly
bid in ITB #16-08.)
City Clerk Laura Litzan read into the record by title only, Resolution 19-04.
Councilor Young removed this item from the Consent Agenda. He asked what the strategic value is in
using multi-year contracts
Water and Sewer Department General Manager Jeff Poteet provided background information and
answered Council's questions and concerns.
MOTION by Councilor Honig, seconded by Councilor Reed, to approve
Resolution 19-04, Authorizing the Purchase of Reverse Osmosis Membranes
for the South Water Treatment Plant for Fiscal Years 2019, 2020, and 2021, in
the Amount of $79,705.87 per year; authorizing the City Manager to Approve
Purchase Orders and Expend Funds on Behalf of the City, Subject to Funds
Being Budgeted. MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
Yes: 7- Councilor Reed, Councilor Honig, Chair Brechnitz, Councilor Young, Councilor
Roman, Councilor Grifoni and Vice-Chair Rios
b. ID 19-021 Resolution Awarding the Contract for the 2019 Hideaway Beach
Erosion Control Project.
(Editorial History: At the request of the City Council and the Hideaway Beach District Board
(HBDB), the Public Works Department advertised bids for the construction of the 2019 Hideaway
Beach Erosion Control Project. This project will consist of dredging approximately 46,000 cubic yards
of beach compatible sediment from the Hideaway Beach Nearshore Borrow Area to renourish
Hideaway Beach including raising the elevation of the beach berm 0.5-feet compared to past
renourishment projects. The sand shall be transported and placed on Hideaway Beach by hydraulic or
mechanical methods. The project was advertised on December 11th, 2018 and bids were opened on
January 14th, 2019.The award of the contract for the construction of the 2019 Erosion Control Project
is recommended based on the lowest responsible bid. The Hideaway Beach Board met on January
14th, 2019 after obtaining the bid submittals and the Board recommended award of the contract to
Cavache, Inc. in the amount of $655,761.67 for the final bid.)
City Clerk Laura Litzan read into the record by title only, Resolution 19-06.
This item was approved under the Consent Agenda.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 22, 2019
c. ID 19-026 Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement
with C.A.P. Government, Inc. for inspection and plan review services.
(Editorial History: In order to provide our citizens with timely inspection services, we are requesting
Council’s approval for the Building Services Department to continue its use of a private provider for
inspection and plan review services. The City has relied on C.A.P. Government, Inc. services steadily
since hurricane Irma. We expect this elevated inspection workload to continue for several more
months. We use the permits applied for statistics as a precursor to forecast our upcoming inspection
workload. We had 4,640 permits applied for in the last six months compared with 3,768 in the last six
months of 2016, prior to the hurricane. Last year we performed 39,712 inspections vs 22,120 the year
prior. Thus, based on the number of permits applied for in the last six months and our current
inspection workload, we are requesting to continue to use their services. On May of 2017, the City of
Fort Lauderdale signed a contract with C.A.P. Government, Inc. to outsource inspection and plan
review services. The City of Marco Island Finance Department staff believes that it would be to the
best interest of the City and its taxpayers to have this service outsourced by piggy-backing on the
City of Fort Lauderdale’s contract with C.A.P. Government, Inc.)
City Clerk Laura Litzan read into the record by title only, Resolution 19-07.
Councilor Young removed this item from the Consent Agenda. He expressed his concerns with the
verbiage "waiving competitive purchasing requirements" and asked why the City is using the City of
Fort Lauderdale.
Interim City Manager David Harden provided an explanation of "piggy-backing" on other government
contracts.
MOTION by Vice-Chair Rios, to approve Resolution 19-07.
NO VOTE TAKEN ON THIS MOTION
MOTION by Vice-Chair Rios, seconded by Councilor Honig, to approve
Resolution 19-07, Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement

Yes: 7- Councilor Reed, Councilor Honig, Chair Brechnitz, Councilor Young, Councilor
Roman, Councilor Grifoni and Vice-Chair Rios
d. ID 19-025 Resolution Approving the Award of a Construction Contract to PBS
Contractors, LLC, for the Lime Sludge Press Building Restoration at
the North Water Treatment Plant (NWTP) in the Amount of
$248,900.00, plus a $20,000.00 Owner’s Contingency, for a Total
Contract Amount Not to Exceed $268,900.00; Waiving Competitive
Bidding Requirements Pursuant to Section 2-255(c)(2) and (4) of the
City Code; Authorizing the City Manager to Approve Purchase Orders
and Expend Budget Funds on Behalf of the City.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 22, 2019
(Editorial History: The lime sludge press building at the City’s North Water Treatment Plant (NWTP)
was the most severely damaged City-owned building as a result of Hurricane Irma. The building was
constructed in 1981 and consisted of steel columns and beams clad in corrugated metal panels. The
lime sludge press building was slated to be reconstructed as part of Belfor’s building restoration
contract in the aftermath of the hurricane. However, after many months of being on Belfor’s list to
reconstruct, Belfor indicated that this type of work is not in their area of expertise and declined the
restoration of this building. City staff then had to scramble to have a structural engineer prepare
construction plans and find a contractor that could perform this restoration work since the FEMA
deadline for completing hurricane damage restoration work is March 9, 2019. City staff subsequently
obtained structural engineering plans and three proposals from building contractors for the restoration
work.)
City Clerk Laura Litzan read into the record by title only, Resolution 19-08.
Councilor Young removed this item from the Consent Agenda. He is asking how much time the City
has had since the FEMA money was available to date and again expressed his concerns with the
verbiage "waiving competitive purchasing requirements".
Water and Sewer Department General Manager Jeff Poteet provided background information and
answered Council's questions and concerns.
Hurricane Irma Recovery Coordinator Chris Byrne answered Council's questions and concerns
regarding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) timeline for funding reimbursement.

$268,900.00; Waiving Competitive Bidding Requirements Pursuant to Section

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 22, 2019
9. Citizens' comments on agenda items not scheduled for public hearing and items other
than those appearing on the agenda.
Mr. Ken Honecker, 632 Dorando Court, noted it is standing room only in the lobby and additional chairs
would be appreciated. He questioned the repair timeline of the Jolley Bridge. He commented on the
sidewalk issue on the December Council meeting and believes it needs to be addressed sooner rather
than later. It is his opinion the City should take full responsibility for the sidewalks once they have been
built and finally he spoke about how the City could purchase the NCH property and turn it into a park and
suggested naming it the Herb Savage Park.
Ms. Patricia Rutledge, 1568 Buccaneer Court, Executive Director of Marco Island Historical Society
(MIHS), thanked City Council and the City for the proclamation to MIHS and Public Works Director Tim
Pinter, staff and the Beautification Advisory Committee (BAC) for the banners along Collier Boulevard
announcing the return of the artifacts.
10. Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing
ID 19-048 San Marco PUD Slideshow Presentation - Mr. Patrick Vanasse
ID 19-022 Ordinance - First Reading - REZONE San Marco CPUD - Marco Island
Hospital (a.k.a. Assisted Living Facility) request to rezone from C-1.
(Editorial History: This is an application to rezone an existing +/- 11.94 C-1(Commercial Professional)
zoned property to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Land Development Code (LDC) requires a
minimum of 10 acres to rezone to a PUD. Having met that condition, the applicant wishes to allow for the
following density, uses, and development standards:
1. A maximum of 89,000 square feet of health care related commercial uses on Tracts A (1.94 acres,
30,000 square feet) and B (5.09 acres, 59,000 square feet).
2. A maximum of 176,680 square feet of Assisted Living Facility (ALF) on Tract C (4.91 acres).
The PUD Ordinance allows clustering of residential density if you meet all requirements of the PUD
Ordinance. In this application, all proposed density is planned for the 4.91 acres of Tract C. The Future
Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as Community Commercial.
Residential density is capped by the Future Land Use Table at 12 units per acre or 143 units based on
11.94 acres proposed. The applicant wishes to exceed this cap with an equivalency factor for the ALF
allowing for up to 13.9 units per acre. The current zoning of C-1 (Architectural Overlay District 2-d.) does
not allow for residential density. Also, C-1 only allows a maximum height limit of 35 feet, or with a
Conditional Use, 50 feet maximum. This rezoning application from C-1 to PUD is allowing for residential
density in the form of Assisted Living Facility uses including Independent Living. All other proposed
commercial uses are already allowed within C-1 zoning.)
City Clerk Laura Litzan read into the record by title only, an Ordinance on first reading, rezoning San
Marco CPUD- Marco Island Hospital (a.k.a. Assisted Living Facility) request to rezone from C-1.
Chair Brechnitz stated the process going forward as the petitioner will have thirty (30) minutes to present
their case, staff will lay out their position and then public comment. He will allow residents to cede their
time to a designated person.
City Attorney Alan Gabriel swore in all witnesses and asked that the public verify they have been sworn in
before speaking.
All Councilors provided their ex-parte communications.
