EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the First Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2017 Agreement between
Economic Incubators, Inc. and the Board of County Commissioners to provide start up and
operational funding for the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee and authorize a budget
amendment of $137,965.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the First Amendment to the
Fiscal Year 2017 Agreement between Collier County, Florida and Economic Incubators, Inc. (“EII” or
“Administrative Entity”).
CONSIDERATIONS: Since FY 2015, the Board has partnered with EII to establish and operate a
business accelerator program to assist local entrepreneurs to develop and expand their businesses, as well
as to recruit companies into Collier County that create high value employment opportunities and help
diversify the economy. The program calls for the operation of two business accelerators, one in Naples
and one in Immokalee. Since its inception, the Naples Accelerator has provided services to 71 companies
has reported creation of 86 Job Year Equivalents. EII has secured $2.7 million in State appropriations and
private donations.
During the 2016 State Legislative session, EII was awarded an appropriation of approximately $1.2
million for the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee for construction costs and kitchen equipment
for the facility which is now complete. This amendment provides $134,465 for operations and
implementation of the culinary program including personnel costs, rent and insurance, as well as some
facility improvements and additional equipment for the balance of FY 2017. Exhibit A, Scope of Service,
is proposed to be amended to remove the requirement for staffing to be at 3 full time equivalents. Instead,
staffing will be required to be at levels which allow for project success using contracted or leased
employees. Exhibit G, Role and Responsibilities of Administrative Entity, has been replaced. The
requirement to host two networking events or promotional events has been removed and multiple various
reports and documents will no longer be required. Three deliverables are required: 1) provision of staff
for both facilities, 2) project administration, and 3) project over sight.
FISCAL IMPACT: This amendment to the annual agreement provides County funding of $137,965 to
support the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee. The planned costs include reimbursement of
personnel cost ($63,500), rent ($9,000), operating, utilities, and insurance ($20,165), permitting and
consulting costs ($15,000), and equipment, furniture, and facility costs ($30,300) for the balance of FY
2017. The revised FY 17 contract total for both the Naples and Immokalee accelerators is Six Hundred
and Forty Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Five Dollars ($642,965). Funding for the Florida
Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee will be provided from Economic Development Fund (007) reserves
and will require a budget amendment that moves funding from reserves into Economic Accelerator
Funded Program No. 33388.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: “Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County’s economic base.”
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the First Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2017 Agreement
between Economic Incubators, Inc. and the Board of County Commissioners and authorize necessary
budget amendments.
