Honorable Members of the Board of County Commissioners OFFICES OF COWER COUNTY
3299 Tamiami Trail East BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Naples, Florida 34112
Dear Commissioners:
I am submitting the budget certification for fiscal year 2019 in the amount of$187,230,400 to fund the
services provided by the Collier County Sheriff's Office including Law Enforcement and Community
Services, the County Jail, Court Security and Public Safety Communications, as required by F.S.
Chapter 30.49(2)(a).
In the days following the issuance of the budget guidance, the tragic events at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School unfolded. These events require that we further enhance our commitment to
maintaining a safe environment within the schools of Collier County. Within this budget, we will be
expanding and providing additional Youth Relations Deputies in our Schools to enhance the safety of
our students, teachers and school staff as required by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Act. This
mandate requires an increased recruitment and investment in highly trained professional law
enforcement officers that are dedicated to protecting our county's youth and maintaining the security of
our schools. For FY19, I estimate the necessary investment will be an additional $2,000,000. Since it is
unclear at this time, what level and when any State funding for these positions may be provided, I am
requesting these additional funds to ensure that this urgent mandate is met.
While it was my full intention to be within the 6% budget guidance as established by the Collier County
Board of County Commissioners, I am requesting a total budget that exceeds the guidance that was set
before the state mandates as described above. While budget guidance was based upon an increase of
what is projected to be received in ad valorem revenue for FY19, I must submit a budget based upon
needs to fund services.
Through the dedication and commitment of our law enforcement professionals of the Collier County
Sheriff's Office and the support of our residents and businesses, we continue to hold the line on crime
in our community as the economy improves. Although we continue to make progress on replenishing
capital equipment, it remains a challenge for purchases that were deferred during previous years with
no budget increases. We are maintaining a high level of service to our community despite continued
rising costs for our operation.
Managing the increase in traffic and incidents that comes with steady growth for the seasonal and
permanent resident population will require professional staff properly trained, equipped and supported
who are appropriately compensated. This enables Collier County to maintain one of the lowest crime
rates in the state. Your support of public safety is greatly appreciated by our members, our community
and me. Together we will all continue to keep Collier County a great place and a safe place.
Respectfully submitted,
Kevin . Rambosk,
Sheriff
