Hand-held verification — Why?CONTENTSBy Ronnie Bellone, Information Technology CommitteeIn response to severalmember comments regardingthe hand-held card verificationbeta test, the committeethought it prudentto provide three rationaleswith which the Board hasasked staff to implementa more consistent cardingregiment.Let’s start with one, whichis thepositive assertion ofprotection over our privateproperty. We all recognizethat member access to ourbeach, and beach facilities area vital aspect to our community.Unfortunately, PelicanBay has repeatedly had to defendPelican Bay residents’usage of our private property.Our ability to demonstrate,and exert control over whouses Foundation property isessential. We must be able toregularly show that the bermand boardwalks are propertyof the Foundation, and onlyauthorized users (members,tenants, and guests) have accessacross these areas.Secondly, connected to,but separate from propertyprotection, is the considerationof unauthorizeduse. As previously stated,Foundation-owned propertyis for the exclusive use ofmembers in good standing(good standing is reflectiveof members who havepaid their assessmentsand who are not otherwiseunder some imposed restrictionby the Board dueto a violation of Foundationgoverning documents), tenants,or guests of members(either with guest passes oraccompanied by a member).To legally protect the exclusiveuse of this property, it isimportant that the Foundationexhibit, and maintainaccess control over it. Thisrequires not only denying accessto those not authorized,but also verifying the use bylegitimate users (membersin good standing and theirguests, or tenants).Member circumstancescan change within a day,and without an effectivemeans of communicatingthis to the Foundation’sservice delivery areas, wecannot control the access ofindividuals whose right toFoundation owned propertyhas changed. Members canbecome delinquent in theirassessments, rent their unit,sell their unit, or have theirprivileges suspendedfor some other reason.We cannot thereforerely on simple member“recognition” for usagepurposes, it is necessaryto verify validusage each time.We have not yet deviseda way to avoidmembers having their IDverified several times at differentplaces throughoutFoundation property, or atdifferent amenities. We dorecognize that some membersview this as an unnecessaryinconvenience, and we arecontemplating ways we mightbe able to avoid this multipleverification situation. Thereis a balance that we need tostrike and we will be workinghard to strike that balancebetween inconvenience andbeing overly burdensome vs.providing the levels of safetyand security many membershave come to expect. TheFoundation’s IT Committee iscurrently investigating waysto verify and document usage;this may also provide a solutionto the multiple verificationconcern. There are, in fact,members who ask for 100%identification and verificationat all points. This is one of thereasons why we’re conductinga “beta test” rather thana full roll-out, i.e. to try outdifferent processes.The third reason is one ofdata collection for strategicplanning, budgeting and decisionmaking. We know thattrams move approximately800,000 people a year. Weknow we have approximately14,000 members, and wellover 30,000 guests a year visitPelican Bay. While we havefairly good data collectionat the Fitness Center (usersswipe their membership,tenant, or guest card), we donot have any knowledge ofthe make-up of tram riders,nor of the make-up of theusers of the berm (walkers,bikers, etc.). For that matter,our knowledge of the usagedata for the restaurants orbeach service in currentlyinsufficient to make goodstrategic decisions. It is integralfor future planningand budgeting to have validinformation on the make-upof the users of Foundationfacilities, and how the cumulativeuse affects the levelof staffing and service delivered.Again, for planningand budgeting purposes, itis also important to knowhow much of the frequencyof the activity in these areasis generated by members,guests, or tenants.We hope this providest h e i n f o r m a t i o n a s t othe rationale.Around the District30Beach Gourmet9Classifieds32-34Foundation News1-28Pelican BayNew Members25Pelican Bay Promise— Avow Hospice23Pelican Bay PropertyOwners Association29Pelican BayWomens League30Tennis4, 15Toys For Tots26, 28landscaping master plan...continued from page 18.

Two luxuriousmaster suites, vaulted ceilings, courtyard pooland spa, Asian slate roofing and marble floorsare just some of the finer touches throughoutthe vast 11,536 sq. ft. The epicurean kitchenis well appointed with appliances from Miele,Gaggenau and Traulsen and enhanced byBrazilian granite counter tops and floor inlays.Guests can enjoy the privacy of their own guestcabana -- offering one bedroom, one bath,living room and patio off the pool area.This is truly a magical escape ina tranquil paradise setting.This summer, the tennisstaff received frequent complaintsabout dead spots onthe courts. Courts whichreceive irrigation from anunderground system reactto rain differently thanabove ground systems. Undergroundirrigation savesmoney and greatly reducesuse of a valuable resource, aswater conservation becomesa bigger issue every day.However, summer rains stopthe upward percolation processas rainwater temporarilyseals the court trapping airbetween the top surface andwater supply below. Havingno place to go, it causes theair to rise and creates a gapbetween the playing materialand sub-base — an issuethroughout South Florida.Rolling the court will help,but the manufacturer cautionsthat too much rollingis bad for the court as itwill become hard. The courtcontractor recently performedthe annual rehabGuest passes increase —Length of stay revisedBy Jim Hoppensteadt, Foundation PresidentEffective October 1, 2009,the fees for guest passeshave changed. The new feesare $15 for up to a 10-daypass, and $25 for up to a20-day pass. As the dailycost of a guest pass is dependentupon the guest’s actuallength of stay; the Board haswanted to move towardsmore parity between what aguest pays to take advantageof all of the Foundation’samenities and facilities, andwhat a member pays to supportthese same amenitiesand facilities. On average, aguest stays approximatelyeight days in Pelican Bay;this equates to $1.88 per day.A member pays $892 per yearin Foundation operatingfor season which also aeratesthe courts and will helpconsiderably. Please notifystaff about any more deadspots and the place will bemarked and treated.November Pro LeaguePelican Bay pros Mike Lewisand Joe Bartos will play withassessment; or $2.44 per day.Add to this considerationthat the Foundation servesabout 14,000 members, butissues approximately 30,000guest passes per year.While there are a wholehost of variables that changethe value received by both theguest and the member (somemembers use the Foundation’samenities and facilitiesmore regularly that others),it is fairly apparent that servicingguests puts greaterstrain on facility capacity andshortens the lives of the Foundationassets used to deliverthose services and amenities.It has been the Board’s positionthat guests should paymore of their fair share.six other area pros on Fridayafternoon, November 13,at the North tennis center,a stop on the 2009 fall proleague.

Flexibility is keyAs the 2009 calendar yearwinds down, our fabuloustennis program starts towind up! High season isdefined as January 1 throughApril 15, and we are allgearing up for a busy timein 2010. Now is the perfectopportunity to remind youall about the wisdom in repeatingour favorite mantra,over and over and over:flexibility is key, flexibilityis key, flexibility is key(ad nauseam!)Toward the end of last season,Chelsea was upgradedand now includes many usefulnew additions to help usplan our tennis games withthe greatest of ease.Wait listOne of the items which notonly helps the member, butalso our wonderful staff, isthat Chelsea now allocatesthe rental courts in season —those at the Pelican Bay Parkand at The Naples Grande.Prior to the updates in Chelsea,the rental courts werefilled from a wait list. Nowthat these courts go throughChelsea exactly the same asBy TAG members Lynn Nolanand Suesser BelforeSouth and North the wait listpersona changes.If you make the wait list,you can still play! As a procedure,staff will call thewait list as court cancellationsoccur. There are manyreasons why you might notget your requested time; thetwo most likely scenariosbeing that you play a lot oronly request your court ina very limited time frame.Sooooo...the most effectiveway to lengthen your oddsis to give yourselves verywide time parameters whenmaking your requests.Widen your parametersAnd we mean wide...8am to12:30pm; and if you are the“Captain”, i.e. the personwhose name appears firston the request, it is up to youto make sure that all yourplayers are onboard with thereality of the situation — thewider the range, the betterthe chance of getting a court.For example, if you continuallyrequest only 9:30am andonly 9:30am, your chancesof getting this time becomeslimmer and slimmer —almost none!Many of the outside courtsare only available at 11am, sothere are a lot more chancesof success if you request widely.Afternoon optionThe answer to the conundrumof playing a lot iswhenever possible, bookan afternoon court! Thereare no points allocateduntil 5:30pm — and you aremuch more likely to get acourt. More and more peoplehave learned this and areexercising this option — itreally works!And now for fun stuffThis is your last reminder!Our new event, the fallTrunk Show, is coming upfast — really fast...It’s Thursday,November 5, 3pm atthe Community Center.Consequently, it’s time tocall the South Pro Shop (597-4497, x255) pronto, now, immediately,to make your lastminute reservation. There’sgoing to be some wonderfuland exciting outfits ondisplay, just waiting for youto order them.More fun stuffAnd the Trunk Show is justthe beginning...Because we know you’regoing to enjoy the TrunkShow so much (!), we are expandingon this creative ideaand offering a full fledgedFashion Show. This new(yes, yet another new) event,taking place on Tuesday,January 19, will be repletewith a sit down luncheonand sparkling, if not unfamiliar,models.Again, don’t forget thosepocketbooks so you’ll be ableto dazzle everyone with theglamorous on-court apparelbeing rolled out for 2010.There’ll be more details inDecember’s TAG news —so watch this space. Meanwhile,we wish everyonea tasty turkey and a veryHappy Thanksgiving.Book your court soon soyou can work off all that extragravy and dressing!ATTENTION ASSOCIATION PRESIDENTS!It is important that the Commons officehave the correct information for thepresident of each of theassociations within Pelican Bay.Please take a moment and send anEmail to Gwen Rasiwala atgrasiwala@pelicanbay.orgwith your name, association,property address, phone numberAND EMAIL to receive importantcorrespondence and notices of upcomingpresident’s council meetings!www.pelicanbay.org Pelican Bay Post, Early November 2009 5

The H2B programBy Jim Hoppensteadt, Foundation PresidentThe Foundation is continuingour H2B program for theupcoming season. From thestandpoints of recruitmentexpenses, cost to implementthe program (including housingand cost of capital), reductionin benefit expense,reduction in unemploymentcompensation exposure, increasingthe pool of experiencedservice workers, andincreasing retention, the H2Bprogram benefits the Foundationand its membershipon all accounts. In fact, theH2B program is designedspecifically to mitigate thecosts of seasonal staffing, whileproviding a reliable, sustainable(unless the governmentintervenes) source of experiencedservice workers — particularlyin resort markets.With the most recent unemploymentrate for the Naplesarea being reported at 12.6%,one might think that therewould be a glut of workers;however, it’s not the overallavailability of workers that’srelevant, it’s the type and qualityof available workers. If youlook a little deeper into ourarea’s unemployment, youquickly find that half of the unemploymentis in agriculturallyrelated jobs. The other twomajor job categories showingsignificant unemployment areMining, Logging, Construction,and Trade, Transportation,and Utilities.As you look at the Leisureand Hospitality employmentstatistics, it is important tonote that in 2005, throughthe first eight months of thecalendar year, there was anaverage of 21,700 employedin this service field — arguablyat the height of Naples’wildlife...continued from page 8We can then do the follow upand contact the appropriateservice department to handlethe situation.There is no black and whiteanswer for any alligator issue,but we will do our bestwith the information wehave and in conjunction withthe Florida Fish and Wildlifeboom. In 2009, through Augustof this year, there hasbeen an average of 21,425workers employed in theleisure and hospitality field;a decrease of only 1.2%. Sowhile companies like theBonita Bay Group have laidoff a number of employeesover the past year, during thesame timeframe, seven newrestaurants have openedin Mercato alone. In fact, ifyou visit one of the newestof these, Blue Martini,you will find that this is stillprimarily staffed with corporate,out-of-town employees.Walking down 3 rd Street on aSaturday night in October, SeaSalt, Campiello’s, HandsomeHarry’s, Ridgeway Grill, andTommy Bahama’s were allopen and apparently doing abrisk business. Turning up 5 thAve. S, the only apparent restaurantclosing is Trilogy’s…everybody else seems to behanging in there…the serviceenvironment in Naples iscertainly unique.While competition foryear-round service workersin Naples is still tough(despite the economy — asreflected above), the supplyof seasonal workers is evenmore scarce. The Foundationgoes from a workforce levelof approximately 120 in theoff-season, to almost 300 inseason.The Foundation’sstaffing ramp-up and dropoffof these levels is veryabrupt, during a timeframewhere every other serviceentity is trying to gear up aswell. The H2B program hasserved the Foundation well,and we expect it to do so forthe foreseeable future.Commission to do what isbest for the community andthe alligator.

What’s HappeningBy Bill Klauber, Board MemberSummer is over — atleast that’s what the calendarindicates. However, thethermometer says it is stillhere, continuing one of thehottest we have had.But it has not just beenthe temperature that hasbeen hot. The issues we havefaced and continue to facehave heated up as well. TheClam Bay controversies continueover channel markers,dredging and the role andmakeup of the Clam BayAdvisory Committee.In its role as communitywatchdog, the PBPOA hasmade its position clear inopposing anything, or anybody,that could threateneither our property valuesor our lifestyle.Certainly for many of us,the Vanderbilt Beach BranchLibrary has become a significantcontributor to both. Forthat reason the efforts havecontinued not only to keepthe library open, but to add aday back to its schedule.Thanks to a very successfulseries of social event-fundraisers where all proceedshave gone to this effort andwith the cooperation of theCounty Library Staff, wenow are assured that theVanderbilt Beach Librarywill remain open not onlyMonday thru Thursday, butalso Fridays, at least throughMarch 2010.If you are not a memberof the Pelican Bay PropertyOwners Association, pleasesend your check for $35 toThe Pelican Bay PropertyOwners Association,801 Laurel Oak Drive,Suite 600, Naples, FL 34108or call 239 566 9707Among our sponsors todate are UBS The StephensGroup, Fidelity Investments,Merrill Lynch AssociatesMichael Charters, Mark andAdam English, and HowardIsaacson all of whom arePelican Bay residents andmembers of the PBPOA.With the help of SusanBoland, the proceeds fromthe always popular Year-Rounders’ event at The ClubPelican Bay also went tothe Save Our Library fundwhich is administered byThe Friends of the Library forCollier County. Our thanksto PBPOA Member CarlaGrieve, who is on the Friendsof the Library Board, for hercontinued assistance.Raffles, 50-50s and doorprizes have raised additionalfunds at these events.

Don’t delay as thisevent sells out each year.Hope to see you there!It’s October but it feelslike August. I am not complaining.The high-pressuresystem that is bringingus this unseasonably hotweather thus far has kepttropical storms well out inthe Atlantic. As a result, ournew Emergency OperationsCenter (EOC) still awaitsits first real test as a stormmanagement center. Forthis, we are thankful. TheCenter is state-of-the-artand functioning for otherneeded services, but weare not eager to give it the“hurricane shakedown”.The old operations centerwas in the lower level ofthe building that housesthe Commission. It took areal beating during Wilma,f l o o d i n g a n d l e a k i n g ,unable to offer essentialspace or communicationresources for critical personnelto function optimally.We were climbingover each other and wadingacross wet and breezyspaces strung with cablesto get the job done.The new center is a blessingand its existence is duein great part to the efforts ofour former County Manager,Jim Mudd. You may notknow that the Commissionnamed the new EOC afterJames V. Mudd, who servedus as County Manager untilrecently when his rapidlyfailing health forced himto step down. If you haver e a d t h e l o c a l p a p e r,you cannot have missedthe outpouring of movingtributes to this exceptionalman. These tributes arewell-deserved.There is a marked differencebetween the positionof this County nowand where it was sevenyears ago.

the county says good-bye...continued from page 30to his ability to implementneeded steps, guiding theDirectors and DepartmentManagers he selected todeliver “high-quality, bestvalueservices and maintainfiscal accountability.County Manager Mudd’spersonal performance inthe six months precedinghis departure was bothextraordinary and exemplary.Nowhere in my pastprofessional life or in publicservice have I seen thelevel of integrity, dedication,and selflessness thathe displayed. His couragein the face of major personaladversity and hiscontinuing demonstratedconcern for the people ofCollier County and theCounty employees whoserve them was matchless.Facing a diagnosisand symptoms that wouldhave caused most peopleto step down immediately,he put his personal considerationsaside. He continuedto find a way to reportto work, neglecting noneof his duties, and displayingthe daily leadershipdesperately needed to getthis County through a verychallenging and difficultfinancial time. He met boththe personal and professionalchallenges headonand without flinching,sense of humor intact. Icommend him for this andexpress my appreciationfor his farsightedness, hisintelligence, his dedication,and his strength. Hegives real-time meaningto “Army Strong”. He is amodel for us all. He will begreatly missed.Jim Mudd’s parting recommendationwas that LeoOchs, his Deputy, be promotedto County Managerimmediately. He was confidentthat Mr. Ochs wouldtake over the reins andprovide a seamless transitionduring the current fiscalcrisis. The Commissionaccepted this recommendation,and Mr. Ochs tookthe position on October 1. Ibelieve he has an excellentgrasp of the problems weface, and I have pledged mysupport to him as he takeson the many managementresponsibilities the positiondemands.Working together, wemake a difference.
