CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O 1289981 CONSERVANCY OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA VON ARX HOSPITAL WILDLIFE REHABILITATION TEAM:ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1979 TO TREAT 400-600 ANIMALS PER YEAR, THE CONSERVANCY OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WILDLIFE CLINIC TREATED APPROXIMATELY 2,700 NATIVE ANIMALS A YEAR IN AN ANTIQUATED 1,700 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY. IN THE FALL OF 2012 THE OLD CLINIC WAS REPLACED WITH A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT, ENERGY EFFICIENT STATE-OF-THE-ART WILDLIFE HOSPITAL. FOREMOST THE HOSPITAL WAS DESIGNED TO MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF INJURED, SICK AND ORPHANED NATIVE BIRDS, MAMMALS AND REPTILES, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THEIR ABILITY TO BE RELEASED BACK IN TO THE WILD. THE SECOND GOAL IS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO OUR NATURE CENTER VISITORS ON HOW TO PREVENT INJURIES TO WILDLIFE.THE VON ARX WILDLIFE HOSPITAL IS THE ONLY FACILITY OF ITS KIND WITHIN COLLIER COUNTY AND RECEIVES NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING. THE INJURED, SICK AND ORPHANED NATIVE WILDLIFE ARE CARED FOR BY A DEDICATED STAFF OF FIVE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES, A STAFF VETERINARIAN, AND SEASONAL INTERNS. STAFF EFFORTS ARE SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTEERS WHO ASSIST WITH DIET PREPARATION, CAGE CLEANING, ANIMAL RESTRAINT AND WILDLIFE RESCUE AND RELEASE.THE COST TO TREAT EACH ANIMAL IS MORE THAN $250. OPERATING EXPENSES FOR FOOD, MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND STAFF EXCEEDS $300,000 ANNUALLY. INCREMENTAL OPERATING COSTS ARE SUBSIDIZED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO DONATE BASIC SUPPLIES SUCH AS FOOD, MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES NEEDED TO CARE FOR THE WILDLIFE PATIENTS. THE VON ARX WILDLIFE HOSPITAL TEAM RELEASES ABOUT HALF OF THE ANIMALS TREATED BACK INTO THEIR NATURAL HABITATS.2014 SAW A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT, SPECIFICALLY PELICANS. A LARGE MAJORITY OF INJURIES WERE DUE TO FISHING LINES, HOOKS AND THE INJURIES THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN SOMEONE WHO IS UNTRAINED TRIES TO REMOVE A HOOK FROM A PELICAN. AS A DIRECT RESULT, THE CONSERVANCY'S WILDLIFE TEAM, PUT ON WORKSHOPS FOR FISHERMEN AND ANYONE INTERESTED ON HOW TO REMOVE HOOKS AND LINE FROM A PELICAN. ALSO, IN AN EFFORT AND TO EXPAND PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORTS AT THE NAPLES PIER, (WHERE FISHERMEN AND PELICANS COME IN FREQUENT CONTACT) THE CONSERVANCY WILDLIFE TEAM PUT UP GRAPHIC SIGNS EXPLAINING THE PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IF A PELICAN GETS HOOKED, AND PERSUADED THE CITY OF NAPLES TO FUND TWO ADDITIONAL POLICE MARINE PATROL OFFICERS IN THE AREA. IN ADDITION, WE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR A STRONGER ORDINANCE THAT BANNED TREBLE HOOKS AT THE CITY PIER. 1289981 5159925 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 32 0 1 73 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 27 27 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 FL PA X X X VICTORIA POLLOCK 2394034202 1495 SMITH PRESERVE WAY NAPLES FL 34102 LYNN SLABAUGH CHAIRMAN OF BOARD 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KEN KRIER VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JAY TOMPKINS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JANE PEARSALL SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LEW ALLYN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS BROWN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI COLGATE-TAMBLYN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ED EATON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS GIBSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE GOFORTH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PHIL GRESH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN R HALL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR JUDITH HURSHON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOIS KELLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORALEE LEBOEUF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WAYNE MELAND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GERRI MOLL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM MURRAY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR KAMELA PATTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAYELA ROSALES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATSY SCHROEDER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB SALTARELLI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LYNNE SHOTWELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE DRACKETT THOMAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TUCKER TYLER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY WHITE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VAN WILLIAMS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW MCELWAINE CEO (THROUGH 7/5/13) 60.00 X 100135 0 19203 ROB MOHER CEO 60.00 X 169632 0 31399 VICTORIA POLLOCK CFO 60.00 X 76523 0 19223 346290 0 69825 2 0 1 0 HEATHERWOOD CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 8880 TERRENE COURT BONITA SPRINGS FL 34135 GENERAL CONTRACTOR 2462174 1 439753 1916768 33535 8164609 1260164 10554665 PROGRAM INCOME 611710 262366 262366 ADMISSIONS 713990 112011 112011 374377 292706 292706 6536 0 6536 6536 6536 7305521 180939 6575518 171902 730003 9037 739040 739040 583352 1916768 1005831 -422479 -422479 996188 564025 432163 382383 49780 OTHER INCOME 900099 8642 8642 8642 11985650 756760 49780 624445 342933 97414 163755 81764 2569211 1846891 261601 460719 39794 29888 2907 6999 315930 232902 25541 57487 201538 136117 27988 37433 63946 55894 8052 20500 17919 2581 38944 38944 80140 80140 51350 51350 355536 310354 3955 41227 144437 138660 2919 2858 249334 185901 3744 59689 75103 39053 8686 27364 226704 204033 10936 11735 3131 1592 1539 884391 795953 57485 30953 248933 222048 16679 10206 INCOME TAXES 42087 42087 MATERIALS AND SMALL EQU 248604 211313 18645 18646 MAINTENANCE 242293 203526 16961 21806 ANIMAL FOOD COSTS 132558 132558 288803 258965 4789 25049 6866200 5159925 732200 974075 33598 83138 24008 2112942 3803709 2613987 11315 17672 187491 177075 121228 184907 29133766 5078730 21531892 24055036 10482630 11059805 14723720 14910643 50919591 55215205 637435 642672 176020 159498 75792 76592 6029867 4710243 3706 5751 6922820 5594756 X 15739940 27307406 17718892 11767350 10537939 10545693 43996771 49620449 50919591 55215205 X 5119450 -253150 757378 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 7148657 16839064 4802653 4799475 10554665 44144514 7148657 16839064 4802653 4799475 10554665 44144514 5172415 38972099 145675 205743 221681 233453 299242 1105794 48848 222585 34237 132833 49780 488283 33073 45284 52034 8642 139033 45877624 2011597 0.84950 0.87480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1954 36990 38944 6710168 6749112 487456 121864 0 0 424247 424777 465654 487456 1802134 2703201 38273 41814 28701 38944 147732 106062 106104 116414 121864 450444 675666 10000 1954 11954 X X 1 10.00 0 1 1 354.00 18050 9941441 330121 615292 500000 10386854 9302844 263640 726957 352000 9941441 10513485 16662 1227303 9302844 9916876 596609 10513485 9042432 874444 9916876 0.00000 0.96380 0.03620 0 0 579046 579046 25520317 3788662 21731655 2675145 1173089 1502056 359258 116979 242279 24055036 INVESTMENTS 10682571 F CASH EQUIVALENTS - RESTRICTED 377234 F 11059805 LAND HELD FOR CONSERVATION 5061722 OTHER RECEIVABLES 32441 TRUST RECEIVABLES 9816480 14910643 FACILITY DEPOSITS 5751 5751 X 11564062 -253150 -117087 -370237 11934299 51351 51351 11985650 6697762 0 6697762 51351 117087 168438 6866200 PART II, LINE 9: LAND HELD FOR CONSERVATION: LAND HELD FOR CONSERVATION IS RECORDED AT COST WHEN PURCHASED OR AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THE DATE OF ACQUISITION, IF DONATED.
