Agenda 04/24/2018 Item # 9C04/24/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the attached ordinance governing the Collier County and Municipal
Infrastructure One-Cent Sales Surtax or One-cent Sales Tax, and direct staff to work with the
Collier County Supervisor of Elections Office to submit the ballot language for the referendum to
appear on the General Election ballot November 6, 2018.
OBJECTIVE: To allow the electorate an opportunity to decide how we fund the construction,
maintenance, and repair of needed capital projects in Collier County by educating them on the options
and placing the decision on a referendum ballot.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 27, 2018, the Board approved on first reading an ordinance for a One-
cent Sales Tax. The Board directed staff bring back the final version of the ordinance for consideration.
Staff was directed to include a reference to a list of County projects to be funded by the Sales Tax in the
ordinance. Attachment A, included with this executive summary, was added to the ninth “Whereas”
paragraph as well as Section Seven (g). The ballot language in the ordinance has been updated to reflect
the version that was discussed at the March 27, 2018 meeting. This change was made to meet the word
limit of 75 words for the explanatory statement as set by Section 101.161 Florida Statutes. Additionally,
the citation in the third “Whereas” paragraph has been corrected based on correspondence with the
Florida Department of Revenue.
Florida’s Department of Revenue (DOR) will distribute the revenue collected by th e funds derived from
the imposition of the Surtax to the County and the municipalities of the County (“Municipalities”), as set
forth in Section 218.62, Florida Statutes. Each year the Florida Legislature’s Office of Economic and
Demographic Research (EDR) produces a Local Government Financial Informational Handbook
containing revenue estimates and distribution percentages. The following table is the distribution
percentage and estimate of possible revenue from the hypothetical imposition of a One-Cent Sales Tax as
calculated by the DOR for FY19. The distribution percentage is recalculated each year to reflect changes
in population.
Local Government Distribution Percentage
Collier BCC 90.10%
Everglades 0.12%
Marco Island 4.52%
Naples 5.26%
Total 100.00%
*Source 2017 EDR Local Government Financial Informational Handbook
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval to move this item to the electorate in and of itself has no fiscal impact.
Should the voters approve the sales tax, the revenue generated is estimated at approximately $70,000,000
per year for seven years.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this Executive Summary
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK

April 16, 2018
Dear Chair, Board of County Commissioners or County School Board:
Chapter 2018-118, Laws of Florida, directs the Office of Program Policy Analysis and
Government Accountability (OPPAGA) to procure an independent certified public accountant to
conduct a performance audit of programs associated with a county or school district referendum
to adopt a new discretionary sales surtax, as defined in s. 212.055, Florida Statutes. The law
defines “performance audit” and describes the scope of the review, which must be completed at
least 60 days before a referendum is held.
If your county or school district has adopted an ordinance/resolution for a new discretionary sales
surtax, please provide a copy of the ordinance/resolution and proposed/scheduled election date by
April 23rd to facilitate contracting for August and November referendums. This documentation
will allow OPPAGA to initiate the audit contracting process for your county or school district. If
your county or school district is considering a referendum for a new discretionary sales surtax and
has not previously contacted OPPAGA, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. When
applicable, the correspondence should include a copy of the proposed ordinance/resolution
authorizing the surtax referendum, the proposed/scheduled election date, and any other documents
that demonstrate that the referendum development process is in progress.
All such notifications and any questions regarding this request should be directed to Janet Tashner,
OPPAGA General Counsel. Ms. Tashner can be reached at (850) 717-0526 or
tashner.janet@oppaga.fl.gov.
Thank you for your assistance.
