Agenda 06/24/2014 Item #16D166/24/2014 16.D.16. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt a resolution approving the expenditure of funds not to exceed $2,000 for activities and incentive prizes associated with the 2014 United Way of Collier County Campaign and to waive the entrance fees into Sun -N -Fun Lagoon for participants on the day of the Walk (September 27, 2014). OBJECTIVE: To support The United Way's annual fundraising campaign. CONSIDERATIONS: To expend county funds to recognize volunteer services performed by County employees, the Board must first adopt an implementing resolution setting forth the purpose of the expenditure pursuant to Collier County Ordinance No. 87 -5. In past years the Board has recognized the worthwhile goals of the United Way of Collier County and the positive effects participation in the United Way of Collier County Campaign has on Agency employees and citizens of the community. Staff recommends that the Board continue to do so. Agency employees have been and will be encouraged to support and participate in the United Way Campaign activities. The events serve to boost employees' morale while contributing to an important community cause. Outstanding efforts by employees are to be recognized with incentive prizes including but not limited to: T- shirts, mugs, pins, plastic water bottles, plaques, trophies, food, beverages, and incidental supplies for serving a light snack for employees participating in the 2014 United Way of Collier County Campaign. The expenditure for these items will not exceed $2000. The community as a whole is also an essential part of the continued support of the United Way. To show appreciation for all the citizens who support and raise much - needed funds for the United Way, staff is also proposing that the Board waive the entrance fee for one day at Sun -N -Fun Lagoon on the day of the United Way Walk (September 27, 2014) for participants in the Walk. The wristbands provided by the United Way will be used to validate United Way participation at Sun -N -Fun Lagoon. Fees for County- sponsored special events shall be set by the Board prior to the event in accordance Section 11 of Resolution No. 2013 -29 (Parks and Recreation Department Facilities and Outdoor Areas License and Fee Policy). Staff recommends not charging the admission fee for Sun -N -Fun Lagoon on the day of the United Way Walk to all participants in the Walk. Although a new fee resolution was approved by the Board and June 10, 2014 (Agenda item I ID), it will not be effective until October 1, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the Public Services Division Administration budget. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAB GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopts a resolution approving the expenditure of funds not to exceed $2,000 for activities and incentive prizes associated with the 2014 United Way of Collier County Campaign and to waive the entrance fees into Sun -N -Fun Lagoon for walk participants on the day of the Walk (September 27, 2014).
