EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt a resolution approving the expenditure of funds for activities and incentive prizes associated with the forthcoming United Way of Collier County Campaign and authorizing the waiver of entrance fees to Sun-N—Fun Lagoon to all participants in the upcoming United Way Walk and Run on the day of both events. OBJECTIVE: To help launch The United Way's annual fundraising efforts for the 2016 season. CONSIDERATIONS: In past years,the Board of County Commissioners has recognized the worthwhile goals of the United Way of Collier County and the positive impacts participation in the United Way Campaign has within our organization and for the citizens of the community. In order to expend County funds to recognize volunteer services performed by County employees, the Board must first adopt an implementing resolution setting forth the purpose of the expenditure pursuant to Collier County Ordinance No. 87-5. Staff recommends that the Board continue to do so. Employees have been encouraged by County Management and the other constitutional offices to support and participate in the United Way Campaign activities. The events serve to boost employees' morale while contributing to an important community event. The specific expenditures shall include, but not be limited to: T-shirts, mugs, pins, plastic water bottles, plaques, trophies, dunk tank and other promotional events, food, beverages, and incidental supplies for serving a light snack for the employees participating in the upcoming United Way of Collier County Campaign. The expenditure for these items will not exceed$2,000. To show appreciation to the citizens who come out to support and raise much needed funds for the United Way, staff is also proposing that the Board waive the entrance fee for one day at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon on the day of the United Way Walk for all participants in the walk and run events. The wristbands provided by the United Way will be used to validate United Way participation at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon. Fees for County-sponsored special events shall be set by the Board prior to the event in accordance with Section II of Resolution No. 2014-121 (Parks and Recreation Division Facilities and Outdoor Areas License and Fee Policy). Staff recommends not charging the admission fee for Sun-N-Fun on the day of the United Way Walk and Run to all participants in the events. FISCAL IMPACT: These funds are located in the various participating divisions and department operating funds. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County Attorney has reviewed this item and approved it as to form and legality. Majority support of the Board is required for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associate with this item. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopts a resolution approving the expenditure of funds for activities and incentives associated with staff and citizen participation in the 2016 United Way of Collier County Campaign and wave the entrance fee for one day at Sun-N-Fun on the day of the United Way Walk and Run to all participants in the events.
