EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the Chairman to execute the Student School Year Agreement with

program participants. Program fees for each participant fully cover these costs.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain cost-effective and reliable transportation services for Collier County Parks and
Recreation program participants.
CONSIDERATIONS: For the past twenty-six years, Collier County has entered into a Transportation
Agreement with the District School Board of Collier County for the transportation of participants of
County recreation programs. Participants are typically taken from their base locations (County Parks) to
educational and recreational attractions throughout the area. Most summer program participants go on
one field trip each week. One thousand five hundred and twenty-four (1,524) children were registered
last year in the full summer camp program. Once executed, the Student School Year Agreement will be
effective from July 1, 2015 until June 30, 2016 which includes the summer camp programs and school
year for 2015/2016.
The Parks and Recreation Department has determined that the School Board is the provider that can best
meet the transportation needs of the Parks and Recreation Department programs in a safe, reliable, and
cost-effective manner for the well-being of the participating children.
The Parks and Recreation Department will use the services of School Board transportation under the
provisions of Option A of the Agreement; wherein the School Board will provide buses and drivers at a
rate of$39.82 per hour plus $2.73 per mile for all programs. This rate is calculated from the time the bus
leaves the transportation barn to the time of its return.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in association with each program/camp location within FY
15/16 Unincorporated Area General Fund (111) Parks and Recreation budget. The annual cost for
transportation services including summer camp is estimated to be approximately $50,000. Program fees
for each participant recover program costs including transportation.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires
majority vote for approval.—CMG
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is No Growth Management Impact is associated with
this action.
