Agenda 09/10/2013 Item #16D15 9/10/2013 16.D.15.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a resolution approving the expenditure of funds for activities and
incentives for Staff who volunteer in the 2013 United Way of Collier County Campaign and waive
admission to Sun-N-Fun Lagoon for all 2013 United Way Participants on the day of the event.
OBJECTIVE: To support The United Way's fundraising efforts for the 2013-2014 season.
CONSIDERATIONS: In order to expend county funds to recognize volunteer services performed by
County employees the Board of County Commissioners (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 of County Commissioners 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 County employees and citizens of the community. Staff recommends
that the Board continue to do so.
County employees have been encouraged by County Management to support and participate in
the United Way Campaign activities. The events serve to boost employees' moral while
contributing to an important community event. 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 2013 United Way of Collier County Campaign. The expenditure
for these items will not exceed$1500.
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 come out to support and raise much needed funds
for the United Way staff is also proposing that the Board waive the entrance fee for one (1) day
at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon on the day of the United Way Walk for all participants in the walk. The
wristbands provided at 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 II 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 on the day of the United Way Walk to all participants in the walk.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the Public Service Division Administration budget
001-155110.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Staff should consider recommending a future amendment to
Resolution No. 2013-29 that makes clear that public admission to County facilities may be
waived by the Board for participation in special events approved by the Board. This item has
been approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval. -JAB
