Agenda 05/13/2014 Item #16B1 5/13/2014 16.B.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting in its capacity as the
Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve a second 180-day extension to
the previously approved grant agreement between the CRA and Paralegal & Notary Multi Services,
Inc. for the reimbursement of $20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the
Immokalee CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Program.
OBJECTIVE: To receive CRA approval of a second 180-day extension to the previously approved grant
agreement between the CRA and Paralegal & Notary Multi Services, Inc. for the reimbursement of
$20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the Immokalee CRA Commercial Facade
Improvement Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 11, 2012, Agenda Item 16B4, the BCC approved a grant
application and related grant agreement between the CRA and Paralegal &Notary Multi Services, Inc. for
the reimbursement of $20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the Immokalee
CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program.
Page two, paragraph seven of the approved standard grant agreement stipulates that "If the GRANTEE
fails to make the improvements pursuant to the terms of this agreement, including construction start
within 90 days of execution of the grant agreement and completion within 12 months of execution of the
grant agreement, the award shall be deemed revoked and GRANTEE shall be entitled no funding".
Given the 12 month performance period established by the grant agreement, the construction completion
deadline was initially set a t September 1 1, 2013. However, on September 10, 2013 (agenda item #16B3),
the BCC, acting as the CRA Board, approved the local CRA Advisory Boards recommendation of a 180-
day extension to this performance period, making the new deadline March 11, 2014.
On February 19, 2014, the owner of Paralegal & Notary Multi Services, Inc. again addressed the CRA
Advisory Board requesting a second 180-day extension to this grant agreement provision which would
further extend his grant performance period deadline from March 11, 2014 to September 11, 2014. The
reasons for this request are the untimely passing of his engineer, and difficulties with the County
permitting process.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Iimokalee CRA fund 186 has sufficient budget in place for the payout of the
grant under discussion.
CONSISTENCY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN: The Immokalee Commercial Facade
Grant Program furthers the programs and projects within the budgetary and policy guidance and directives
of the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Board of County Commissioners in furtherance of
Policy 4.2 of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan which reads as follows:
"****The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation,
transportation, housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of
land uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of
economic development."

for such an extension. Accordingly, this item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for approval. —JAB
