PART I - INSTRUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS
PURPOSE:
This document sets forth the guidelines and categories for requests for funds from Tourist
Development Taxes. Applications will be accepted from organizations that will promote tourism
activities at their facilities during FY 2012 -13 within Collier County that will bring substantial
numbers of overnight visitors to the County.
AUTHORIZATION HISTORY:
The Florida State Legislature enacted the Local Option Tourist Development Act (Section
125.0104, Florida Statutes) in response to the growing need of Florida counties to provide
additional revenue sources for Tourist Development in an effort to stimulate the local economy. In
response to this need, in 1990, the voters of Collier County approved a two (2) percent Tourist
Development Tax on transient rental accommodations. A Tourist Development Council was also
created in 1992 to assist the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in planning
ways in which to use the revenues received through the Tourist Development Tax, based on
statutory guidelines. The tax was increased to three (3) percent in 1996 and to 4% in 2005. The
BOCC has the final determination of the allocation of TDC funds within the confines of F.S.
125.0104.
ALLOCATION OF THE TOURIST TAX
The four - percent (4 %) Tourist Development Tax revenue is allocated by the Tourist Development
Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners as follows:
50% for beach park facilities or beach improvement, maintenance, renourishment, restoration and
erosion control, including pass and inlet maintenance shoreline protection, enhancement, cleanup or
restoration of inland lakes and rivers to which there is public access as these uses relate to the
physical preservation of the beach, shoreline or inland lake or river.
13.4% for County owned or operated museums, to acquire, construct, extend, enlarge, remodel,
repair, improve, maintain, operate or promote one or more county owned museums and for non -
County owned museums that are owned and operated by not -for- profit organizations and open to
the public.
36.6% for Advertising/Promoting and Special Events to bring tourism to Collier County.

TOURIST TAX ALLOCATION CONT.

APPLICANT INSTRUCTIONS
ELIGIBILITY FOR FUNDING
Category "C -2" designated by Collier County Ordinance 92 -60 as amended for Non - County owned
Museum funding is available through the Tourist Development Council and Collier County Board
of County Commissioners. The use of Category C -2 is designated by the Tourist Development
Council (TDC) for out of county marketing and promotion of events, special exhibits or to increase
visitation to museum facilities. C -2 grant funds are not to be used for construction of facilities.
APPLICATION AND EVALUATION PROCEDURE:
The following procedure will be strictly followed. All questions should be channeled through the
Tourism Director's office.
Please read the following instructions carefully and call the Tourism Department Office with any
questions at 239 - 252 -2384. Incomplete or incorrect applications will be returned.
The Tourism Director, serving as a facilitator, and a five (5) person Grant Review Panel made up of
one hotel, one attraction, one restaurant, one retail and one cultural representative will review all
applications to determine if they meet the established criteria for funding as indicated in the
application form. Only those requests that will have a substantial economic impact on the County
from visitors will be considered further. The Tourism Department office staff will notify qualifying
applicants who are finalists. All finalists will then be invited to present their applications to the
TDC in May or June 2012.
The Tourist Development Council (TDC) will receive the recommendations from the Grant Review
Panel and will vote on each qualifying applicant and prepare, in priority order, their
recommendations for funding for Fiscal Year 2012 -13. Funding recommendations of the Tourist
Development Council are final. The TDC recommendations will be presented to the Board of
County Commissioners as part of the County's budget process for FY 2012 -13.
After budget approval, contracts will be negotiated with the selected applicants, with assistance
from the County Attorney's office, and then presented to the BCC for final approval. Once
executed, these contracts will be monitored and Requests for Fund Forms will be reviewed and
approved by the Tourism Director. No projects are approved and no funds may be expended until
the contract is approved and signed by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners.
All materials submitted with applications will become a matter of public record, open to inspection
by any citizen of the State of Florida subject to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes.

SPECIAL NOTE:
In the event that any funding request is turned down, the organization will not be permitted to come
back to the TDC or Board of County Commissioners for the same event until the next fiscal year.
An exception would be made if new information not previously presented might alter the TDC's
decision. In this case, the applicant must bring the request back to the TDC for further review
before approaching the County Commission.
Funding Administration: No funding may be reimbursed until the Collier County Clerk of Courts
Finance Department approves the Request for Funds and supporting documentation.
Documenting Economic Impact: If any of the grant funding is to market or promote events at
the museum, applicants will be required to distribute and collect questionnaires provided by the
Tourism Department staff. These forms will assist in the tracking of participants' accommodations
and spending patterns in Collier County while attending these events. The minimum number of
required questionnaires must be equal to ten percent (10 %) of the event attendance or one hundred -
fifty (150) whichever is greater. (Attached, Exhibit "E" Page 22). Grantees are also requested to
tabulate all visitors at their facilities to determine their home residence and the amount of time they
are staying in Collier County.
Applicants should be aware that the TDC staff will also survey hotels to confirm the data collected
by the applicant for event attendance.
STATUS REPORTS:
Interim Status Report: A detailed interim status report will be required no later than March 30,
2013 or with any interim Requests for Funds reimbursement. The report will document the progress

Grant Review Panel as part of their review of the next year's grant applications. (Form Attached —
Exhibit "B" Page 19).
