CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is scheduled to host the Paradise Coast Invitational girls fast pitch

expenditure under the BCC approved sports event assistance program. Funding for these events is subject
to Board approval.

softball ages 16-18. The event generated 200 room nights in 2015 which was the inaugural year. The
event will again utilize North Collier Regional Park, and is projected to attract more teams and
participants this year. The expenses to be paid for this event will be facility rental to North Collier
Regional Park up to a total cost of$2,500.00 and Park staff overtime costs up to$1,500.

Division budget in Fund 184 for Sports Marketing Event support.
