OBJECTIVE: To establish an Ad Hoc Committee as a forum for the senior citizens of Collier County to
identify and discuss issues facing the senior community.
CONSIDERATIONS: At its July 11, 2017 regular meeting, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) directed staff to evaluate the need, benefit, cost, and purpose of creating a new advisory
committee which would focus solely on the needs of the County’s senior population. The Board received
this analysis on September 26, 2017, and following input from the citizen group petitioning for the
creation of such a committee, approved the establishment of the Ad Hoc Committee on October 24, 2017.
The proposed resolution sets forth the purpose of the Collier County Ad Hoc Senior Advisory Committee
as well as its functions, powers and duties. The Committee will be composed of nine members who are
appointed by resolution of the Board. Of these nine members, there will be one member from each of
the five County Commission Districts, and four at-large members. Committee candidates for the five
County Commission District seats must be nominated by the Commissioner of the District in which the
candidate resides and receive a simple majority vote of the Board. The four at -large members can be
nominated by any Commissioner, but must receive a four -fifths vote of the Board for appointment or
reappointment. All members must be 62 years of age or older. The proposed resolution also provides
that this Committee shall automatically sunset one year from the date of its first meeting unless extended
by Board Resolution or converted into a permanent advisory board by Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT: Annual operating costs are estimated at $11,000 and would be serviced out of the
General Fund.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed resolution was drafted by the County Attorney and is
approved as to form and legality. A majority vote of the Board is required for approval. -JAK
