Agenda 05/09/2017 Item #16E 205/09/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Amendment No. 12 to the Agreement with Collier County District
School Board for the Driver Education Program.
OBJECTIVE: To allocate Driver Education Grant funds to supplement driver education for public and
private high school students.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 29, 2003, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 2003-39, entitled “Dori
Slosberg Driver Education Ordinance” to authorize the collection of a surcharge on all civil traffic
penalties in county court to supplement driver education funds and to establish the Driver Education Trust
Fund (173). This Ordinance was amended by Ordinance No. 2007-39 on April 24, 2007 (Item 17A)
based on changes to Florida Statutes. The Board further approved grant program procedures on October
14, 2003 that authorize the County Manager, or designee, to solicit grant applications and to negotiate a
grant agreement with any eligible applicants.
The Grant Program is set up for funds collected as of February 1 to be advertised to all eli gible entities.
Applications are due by March 31. If applicable, staff reviews the expenditure report from the previous
year’s program and any necessary references to carry over funds from the previous year in the agreement
for the current year.
The 2017/2018 Grant Program guidelines and applications were sent to each of the private high schools
and the District School Board on February 15, 2017. A response was received only from the District
School Board to fund the summer driver education program for public and private Collier County
students, supplies, equipment and fuel for year round Driver Education Programs and paraprofessionals to
assist in providing the minimum of 30% behind-the-wheel time for students at a cost of $117,118. The
Summer School program offered by the School District is also open to private high school students.
The District School Board has submitted an application twelve years in a row for a Summer Program,
salaries for paraprofessionals, and purchase of equipment and materials to supplement annual
programming for the school year. The Program Year is typically July to June and is kicked off with the
Summer Driver Education Program.
The Project Report submitted for this year summarized the use of the funds through January 2017. T he
District continues to expend the funds from that Program Year until it ends in June and then provides the
actual amount of carry forward funds in the Project Report. This was the case in the previous years and
due to the difference in our fiscal years and the summer schedule, will continue to be necessary in future
years. To account for the use of the carry forward funds each year, the District sets up a separate account
in their budget and expends those funds prior to expending funds allocated for the new Program Year.
The Project Report includes pages from the District budget identifying how the funds were expended.
The carry forward funds in fiscal year 2016/2017 were $ 72,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved, funds in the amount of $117,118 will be provided within 45 days to the
District School Board from the Driver Education Trust Fund (173).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires a
majority vote for Board action. JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve Amendment No.12 to the Agreement with Collier County District
School Board for the 2017 Driver Education Grant Program.
