upcoming FY17 Sports Events up to $6,500 and make a finding that these expenditures promote
tourism.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: Approve funding support for managing and promoting two upcoming sports events in
Collier County during FY 17.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is requested to host the following events in March 2017. The
Tourism Division Sports Marketing Team has attracted these prestigious events to our community. The
projected hosting costs to manage and promote these events are based on our past experience with similar
events. The Tourism Division proposes to pay Parks and Recreation for the field rental and event support
expenses for each event. Field rental and event assistance are authorized expenditures for the BCC
approved Sports Assistance Program. Funding for these events is subject to Board approval.
Southern Tropics Pickleball Tournament will take place March 10-12, 2017. This is a tournament that
is part of the Southern Tropics Series. The event looks to attract over 200 athletes and an estimated 250
room nights. The expenses to be paid for this event will be facility rental to East Naples Community Park
up to a total cost of $4,000.00 and Park staff overtime costs up to $1,500.00.
Pelican Bend Gulf Coast Open will take place March 24-25, 2017. This is a fishing event that will take
place in Marco Island at the Pelican Bend Marina. This is the first year the event is taking place in Collier
County, and estimates a 50 boat competition and 100 room nights. The expenses to be paid for this event
will be assistance with advertising and equipment rental up to a total cost of $1,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding of up to $6,500.00 for these two events is included in the BCC approved
FY 17 Tourism Department budget in Fund 184 for Sports Marketing Event support.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan from this
action.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Tourist Development Council recommended
approval of this item 8-0 at the January 23, 2017 meeting.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
