EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the usage of the Event & Athletic Application for Sports Tourism in
an effort to assist in the Sports Tourism promotion for Collier County staff and event organizers
alike and authorize the County Manager or his designee to execute the Application.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: Establish a standard Event & Athletic Application for Sports Tourism that will assist the
Tourism Division in their Sports Tourism promotion efforts.
CONSIDERATIONS: Sports Tourism is proposing to use a standard Event & Athletic Tournament
Application. This form is a necessary tool in regards to the procurement and execution of events. The
contents of this form will aid in the process of collecting data, forecasting performance, and aiding in
communication between Collier County staff and Event Organizers. Approval of this form would allow
for a more streamlined process internally between Collier County staff members, and externally between
Collier County Staff and Event Organizers. This application will allow Collier County Sports Tourism to
improve processes and economize staff time in regards to facilitating current and future events in Collier
County.
Due to the timing of the events, Staff will ask the Board of County Commissioners to delegate signature
authority for the Event Applications to the County Manager or his designee.
Staff requests approval to modify the event application as needed provided that the modi fications do not
change the legal requirements or the intent of the application with main focus on promoting sports
tourism. Any changes will be returned to the TDC for after the fact review and approval.
EVENT & ATHLETIC APPLICATION This application was created to compile all the information
required by Collier County staff to fully promote and accommodate Sports Tourism in Collier County.
The information in this application will allow for a completely transparent process from the time of
procurement through the execution of the event for Collier County, Collier County Parks & Recreation,
and any Event Organizer bringing Sports Tourism to Collier County. Once executed by the Parties, the
Application is a contract with specific terms and conditions that must be followed including the County’s
standard indemnification language and a termination provision that will allow the County to cancel or
reschedule an event for any reason.
The institution of the form will aid in the following areas:
Qualifications for funding support eligibility
Qualifications required for awarding funding
Allowable vs. Non-Allowable Expenses (reimbursable by the tourist development tax)
