following years' budgets fell short by approximately $125,000 of its target of
$500,000 per year of operating funds (operations, personnel and grants). The only
recourse was a reduction in force. A matrix of personnel reduction options were
discussed and to meet the $500,000 /year target, either two CRA personnel had to
be terminated to reduce $125,000 ,in costs or Mr. Jackson ($162,012 salary &
benefits) had to be terminated to get the budget within expected parameters.
The Board had a lengthy roundtable discussion on the matter. Mr. Jackson
recommended to the Board that they recommend to the CRA Board that he be
terminated without cause in accordance with the severance terms of his contract.
Mr. Jackson gave several_ reasons for his recommendation to the Advisory Board,
and answered their questions concerning the future operation of the office if he
departed. Mr. Jackson assured the 'Advisory Board that with a significant decrease
in operating funds, there would also be a significant reduction in projects and
programs. Thus a small staff consisting of project managers would be more than
adequate to run office operations in a four -year maintenance mode until the Collier
economy recovered and property values began to rise again. His overarching
reason was that as the leader of the CRA, his responsibility also rested with the care
of his employees; thus his termination option would eliminate the need to terminate
two people in order to. achieve the same results. Motion to approve: Mr. Gunther.
Second: Ms. Tracy. Approved 7 -0.
7. Advisory Board <General Communications. Ms Tracy asked the Board if they would be
Willing to set up some sort of farewell event in the event the CRA Board accepted the CRA -AB's
recommendation..
8. Citizen Comments. None.
9. Adjournment: The regular meeting was adjourned at 7:35pm.
Approved and forwarded by Steve Main, CRA -AB Chairman.

n MEMORANDUM
March 13, 2012
FROM: David Jackson, Executive Director, Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA
TO: Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board of Commissioners
SUBJECT: CRA Advisory Board Recommendation Pertaining to CRA Director's Contract
The CRA Advisory Board met at an advertised public meeting on March 6`h to discuss the Plan of Action
approved by the CRA Board on February 28, 2012, and to discuss the development of the FY2013 CRA
budget.
The Advisory Board reviewed the CRA Board's approved Plan of Action and focused on the second
action item:
• Immediately eliminate discretionary CRA programs, expenditures and contracts until
refinancing is resolved
— Focus resources on the financial problem
— Hiring freeze
— Evaluate in 90 Days
I made a presentation concerning staff reductions in spending for the FY2012 budget to meet the Plan
�. of Action tasking. Using a budget office analysis of "expected or projected" operating funds available to
the CRA during FY2013 to FY2015 after debt service payments, an in depth analysis of FY2013 -2016
budgets was presented. Advisory Board discussion centered on the following three objectives:
1. Meet the task of the Plan Of Action: "focus resources on the financial problem"
2. Developed an FY2013 and FY2014 "budget plan" based on best known data, and
3. Keep the CRA office operating during the transition period FY2013 -2016 while the Collier County
economy recovered
The obvious conclusion reached was that further reductions were required to meet budgetary goals for
the out - years. Due to budget constraints, all possible options and combinations of personnel reductions
was analyzed and discussed.
To meet the budgetary shortfall, either the CRA reduced personnel by two people (combination of
Project Managers and /or Grants Coordinator) or one (executive director) to hit the budget target. It was
all about the numbers ($).
I simplified the Advisory Board's decision by VOLUNTEERING to be the one to be terminated in order to
"save" two of my employees. That's what a LEADER does! I am in a better personal life situation to
weather the loss of a job than my people, who depend on a salary to support their families. I am in a
position to move on and not be 'temporarily' economically stressed. With my credentials, there are
other job opportunities that I immediately qualify for and can apply for.

3/27/2012 Item 143.1.
The CRA /MSTU operations will survive this action. The three remaining members of MY team can carry n
forward the mission and tasks at hand. I have full confidence in them to get the job done as if I was
there. They are well- trained. YOUR CRA will persevere. YOUR community will continue to prosper
because you and the Advisory Board will be here to look after them, and MY three (3) dedicated and
competent CRA /MSTU staff members will assist you.
Considering the economic climate we are in, I think (and strongly feel) that this is a prudent decision for
the Board and it is the right time to do it. To delay it only delays the inevitable reduction in force to
meet budgetary goals.
Again, in closing, I look to you for the support to approve the Advisory Board's recommendation - it is
the right thing to do!!! I hope you and your fellow commissioners will support this termination action
and look forward to your support for the Advisory Board's recommendation.
Thanks for your unbridled support these 7 years!
Best regards,
David Jackson
