Agenda 03/24/2015 Item #16D8 3/24/2015 16.D.8.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of an after-the-fact grant
application for $516,816 to fund the expansion of the Immokalee Sports Complex Fitness Center
through the FY2015-2016 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development
Block Grant(CDBG).
OBJECTIVE: To expand the level of service for our fitness programs provided to the citizens within the
Immokalee area.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Parks and Recreation Division had the opportunity to apply
for Community Development Block Grant funding through Collier County Community and Human
Services (CHS) to renovate the existing fitness facility at the Immokalee Sports Complex. This project
seeks to renovate the existing facility at Immokalee Sports Complex to double its current size. The current
facility is often crowded due to the lack of existing facilities elsewhere in Immokalee.It is anticipated that
renovating this facility will allow for improved conditions in this small, cramped fitness center and
increase the space used for fitness activities.
In examining the proposed conceptual design, the facility would be expanded through developing an
opening with the existing facility into the adjoining storage space. Bathrooms would be added to the
facility in addition to windows for exposure of participants to natural light and views of the surrounding
neighborhood. Given the age of the facility, the expansion would also include upgrading existing fire
suppression devices, air conditioning, and sewer and utility connections. A portion of the project would to
be to demolish the existing breezeway leading from the main Sports Complex to the Fitness Center and
install a new breezeway. Upon successful expansion of the project, the Department will demonstrate an
increase in overall capacity from 40 participants to 80 participants.
There is no match requirement for this grant, however, Parks and Recreation is matching $24,353 for
project administration. Matching funds are available in Parks and Recreation operating Fund 111.
Funding was announced December 31, 2014 and the application is due February 18, 2015. Due to the
short turnaround, staff secured the County Manager's approval to submit the grant application as is
contemplated in CMA 5220, and is seeking Board approval after the fact.
FISCAL IMPACT: Although this grant application does not require a match; the Department is
pledging an in-kind match of$24,353 for staff administrative costs and project management. Funds for
these services are budgeted within the Parks appropriations in the MSTD General Fund (111). If awarded,
grant revenue in the amount of$516,816 will be appropriated through a future Board action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Board will have the opportunity to accept or reject the funds if the
grant is approved. Accordingly, this Office has no issue with respect to the legality of this request, which
is appropriate for Board action and requires a majority vote for Board action.—JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Immokalee Sports Complex has been identified by the
County's Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) within the County's Regional Park Inventory,
which specifically fulfills Policy 1.3.2 of the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Collier County
Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That Board of County Commissioners approves a resolution authorizing the
submittal of an after-the-fact grant application for funding the expansion of the Immokalee Sports
