Agenda 03/28/2017 Item #11A03/28/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to evaluate the financing plan associated with developing a regional
tournament caliber sports facility and to provide guidance on future actions.
OBJECTIVE: To comply with prior Board direction for an evaluation of the financing plan
associated with the development of a regional tournament caliber sports facility and seek
direction for the County Manager to either proceed with the project or terminate the process.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 28, 2017, under item 11C, the Board considered the
concept of developing a regional tournament caliber sports facility. Staff identified two locations
that could support a facility of this type and also identified a third location that may also be
suitable. The review was generally positive with respect to the concept of the facility. The Board
also suggested that staff consider scenarios for potentially co -locating the project with phasing.
The item was presented with the premise that the Board would express a consensus, as a super
majority, that they would be willing to fund such an endeavor.
The preliminary funding plan was developed with the concept of a 1% increase in the Tourist
Development Tax (TDT). The enactment of the fifth penny of TDT is expected to generate
approximately $5,200,000 annually. The project is estimated to cost between $60,000,000 and
$100,000,000 depending on the final land cost, amenities selected, final design, permitting, and
construction values at the time the project is bid. The Board expressed an interes t in proceeding
with the project subject to having a viable financing plan. As such, the Board requested that staff
prepare a more detailed financing plan clearly identifying that the project was financially viable
using the additional TDT revenue. It was also suggested that the financing plan should be vetted
with the Tourist Development Council (TDC) prior to coming back to the Board. The TDC
comments will be presented by memorandum or verbally, as the meeting will have been held
after the publishing of this agenda item
During the deliberations it was also pointed out that the facility could be used for local sports
teams during times when tournament play was not scheduled. Subsequent to the Board meeting,
the question was raised as to how the local usage would participate in financially supporting the
project. For clarification, it was always staff’s intent to include partial financial support for the
facility from local funds. Local teams would pay league fees and rental fees for the facilities.
Additionally, staff anticipated following the same financial model as other jurisdictions where a
proportionate share of the operation and maintenance costs are covered by ad valorem revenues
similar to other public venues in Collier County.
Finally, the Office of Budget and Management worked with outside bond counsel and developed
a financing plan using two scenarios at $60,000,000 and two scenarios at $80,000,000. No
scenarios were developed at $100,000,000 as the 1% TDT pledge would not support the
financing. Project costs above these financing scenarios would require an up-front buy-down to
meet the financing limits. Staff would not recommend a project outlay where the land costs
would force the project to exceed $80,000,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Pursuing an amateur sports complex will require the addition of a
statutorily authorized fifth penny of TDT tax in order to offset anticipated debt service of
03/28/2017
between $4 million and $6 million annually and preserve some semblance of dollar distribution
to the various user beneficiaries similar to that currently enjoyed under the four penny structure.
The following table and graph illustrates annual debt service at issues of $60 million and $80
million over 20 or 25 years.
A fifth penny is required for the following reasons;
1. Protect cash flow and preserve distribution of dollars to current programs and services
2. Protect credit on the debt issued by maximizing Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS)
coverage
If a fifth penny were not enacted and payment of debt service under bond covenants assumes a
priority position in the distribution of tourist taxes, dollar distribution to programs such as beach
re-nourishment; marketing; and museums will be greatly reduced. Imagine removing between
$4 million and $6 million from available dollars currently funding beach re-nourishment or
03/28/2017
marketing. Now, the introduction of a non TDT revenue source is an option without increasing
the TDT tax, but this approach significantly reduces budget certainty through subjectivity to the
annual appropriation process and competition for available resources with priority capital and
operating programs.
From a policy and sequencing perspective, decisions on adding the fifth penny to the TDT
structure and revising the current TDT ordinance will be necessary prior to beginning the credit
process. Should a policy decision be made not to add the fifth penny as part of a revision to the
TDT ordinance, then a policy decision could be made to continue with any ordinance revisions
with the goal of adjusting the distribution formulas.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The development of sports facilities does not conflict
with Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and
requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners reviews the financial
information provided, reaffirms their interest in developing a regional tournament caliber sports
facility, and directs the County Manager or his designees to continue to:
1. Develop comparative conceptual site development plans, development schedules, cost
analysis, and financing plans for the viable sites and report back to the Board within 120
days;
2. Negotiate with the owners of City Gate and the Golden Gate Golf Course a final and
best price for the land and non-monetary exchanges; and
3. Authorize the expenditure of up to $50,000 for additional consultant services.
Alternatively, direct staff to terminate the search for a regional sports complex should a supe r
majority of the Board not support the concept.

Recommendation
1. develop a financing plan with options that would support the
facility and report back to the Board within 120 days;
2. negotiate with the owners of city Gate a final and best price
for the land and non -monetary exchanges and bring back the
outcome with the financing plan;
3. deliver a final comparison of price and time comparing city
Gate and CC305; and
4. authorize the expenditure of up to $50,000 for additional
consultant services.
