Agenda 05/28/2013 Item #14B2 5/28/2013 14.B.2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), as the Community
Redevelopment Agency(CRA), to approve the Immokalee's CRA's attached proposed Exit
Strategy for the Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC) and authorize the
County Attorney to prepare the necessary documents for future CRA Board consideration.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval of the Immokalee's CRA's attached proposed Exit Strategy
for the Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC) and authorize the County Attorney to
prepare the necessary documents for future CRA Board consideration.
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 22, 2013, under Item #10F, the Board of County
Commissioners, as the CRA, directed that actions be taken to allow the IBDC to be operate as
an independent not-for-profit entity and authorized the continued operation of the IBDC under
the CRA until such time as the IBDC had established its new operating status. In order to
accomplish this transition, the Immokalee CRA is proposing the attached Exit Strategy for the
IBDC. After careful consideration and review by the appropriate County departments, this
strategy is the best option for the IBDC transition from a CRA entity to an independent not-for-
profit entity.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds exist in the FY2013 Budget. Potential fiscal impact
associated with this recommendation is in the amount of$100.00 per month for the period of
July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 to be paid by the Collier County CRA-Immokalee Fund 186-
138324.
CONSISTENCY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN: This action will have no
impact on the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: By unanimous vote, during the regular
meeting of the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board on May 15, 2013, the
Advisory Board voted to approve a recommendation to the BCC, as the CRA, that it approve the
attached Exit Strategy for the IBDC.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient and requires a majority vote.
JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To obtain BCC approval of the Immokalee's CRA's proposed Exit
Strategy for the Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC) and authorizes the County
Attorney to prepare the necessary documents for the CRA Board consideration.

Exhibit A
Immokalee CRA Proposed Exit Strategy for the
Immokalee Business Development Center(IBDC)
On March 9, 2010 the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a recommendation for
the creation of the Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC). The Immokalee CRA
created the IBDC to address the general problem of a weak economic and business climate in
Immokalee, and to address some of the barriers to entry for new business. On January 22, 2013,
the BCC, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) directed that actions be taken
to allow the IBDC to become an independent not-for-profit entity. This new status will enable
the IBDC to apply for an increased range of grant funding thereby, allowing the agency to
increase its positive impact on the Immokalee business community.
As the IBDC transitions from a County to an independent not-for-profit entity, the CRA
proposes the following exit strategy to insure that it is efficient and economical from an
operational standpoint as well as complies with all legal requirements. Outside legal counsel is
responsible for creating the not-for-profit entity. The County Attorney's Office will assist with
transition documents.
Issue: IBDC Program:
1. Operation of the IBDC will no longer be conducted by CRA. To that end, a Resolution
to dissolve the IBDC on or before December 31, 2013 needs to be approved by the CRA.
2. Continue the operation of the IBDC under the auspice of the CRA during the transition
period. This relationship shall cease as of December 31, 2013.
3. Presently CRA staff occupies a building located at 1320 North 15th Street in Immokalee
under a lease that expires on July 15, 2013. Because the IBDC plans to separate from the
CRA no later than January 2013, it is no longer necessary for the CRA to lease a facility
large enough to house the IBDC and its clients. Subject to CRA approval, CRA staff will
be relocating to a smaller space within the Southwest Florida Works building located at
750 South Fifth Street, Immokalee, Florida as of July 1,2013.
Hodges University has agreed to lease office space to the IBDC at 1170 Harvest Drive in
Immokalee for the nominal fee of$100.00 per month; which includes water and sewer,
trash removal and exterior maintenance (including landscaping). Leasing from Hodges
presents the best option for the IBDC because Hodges also agreed to lease its facility to
the soon to be created not for profit entity after December 31, 2013. The Hodges' lease
would commence on July 1, 2013. If the CRA Board approves this recommendation, the
CRA staff will bring this lease for approval at the CRA's next meeting. The Lease would
be drafted such that it may be assigned to the not-for-profit entity without further liability
to the BCC and CRA.
4. The IBDC is a grant funded program. As such, until it is an independent not-for-profit
entity, applying for grants remains to be the life line of the program. The CRA as an
2

5/28/2013 14.B.2.
entity of the County recommends that it be allowed to continue applying for grants to
cover the IBDC's operational costs until such time as the IBDC is a legal entity separate
and apart from the County. The Subrecipient Agreement will be drafted to allow
assignment of the Subrecipient Agreement to the not-for-profit entity under certain
circumstances such as Board approval of a Substantial Amendment to the relevant action
plan and qualification of the not-for profit for the project and grant funding. This will
create a seamless transition of the funding stream for the IBDC as it transitions from a
Collier County CRA program to a not-for-profit entity.
Issue: IBDC Staff:
5. As of December 31, 2013, the Center Manager, Marie Capita, acting as the sole IBDC
employee, will no longer be considered a County employee. As per the County's Human
Resource Department, since the position is grant funded, it will be phased out as being
"no longer funded." This will not be considered as a resignation or termination. Board
action is not necessary for employee transition.
Issue: Equipment, furniture, supplies purchased by the IBDC with CDBG funds:
6. The CRA has no current use for the supplies, equipments, and furniture purchased with
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the IBDC program. CRA
recommends that the items listed on the attached list be donated to the IBDC once it is a
legal entity separate and apart from the County. Staff has contacted HHVS, OMB, and
Purchasing Department to ascertain the proper process for requesting supplies,
equipment, and furniture to move with the not-for-profit. This transfer of supplies,
equipments, and furniture will be in accordance with all governing laws and processes.
(i.e. County's Purchasing Policy, Section 274.05, Florida Statutes, and 24 CFR 85).
