EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to consider the request by the Economic Dcvelopment Council of Collier County
to provide a Job Creation and Fast Track incentive package (creation of 15 full-time jobs at 131 %
of the current Collier County private-sector average wage) to Collier Scrap Metal Recycling, Inc.
and approve the incentives in accordance with Florida Statute Section 125.045 for the proposed
project to be located at 2011 Seward Avenue (Fiscal Impact: $30,000)
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approves a Job Creation and Fast
Track incentive package for Collier Scrap Metal Recycling, Inc. in accordance with Florida Statute
Section 125.045 for the proposed project to be located at 201 I Seward Avenue.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Economic Incentive Programs, established by Collier County, are intended
to:
(1) Provide performance-based programs offering financial relief for eligible targeted
industry development or expansion projects in Collier County to mitigate the effects of
rising development costs;
(2) Provide for the economic well being of Collier County residents by providing high-
wage employment opportunities in Collier County;
(3) Lessen the seasonal cycle of Collier County's economy; and
(4) Encourage investment opportunities for new or existing companies thus increasing
and diversifying the county's tax base.
Collier County, in cooperation with the EDC, currently offers six local incentive programs. These
programs are Fee Payment Assistance, Property Tax Stimulus, .lob Creation Investment, Advanced
Broadband Infrastructure Investment, Job Retention Investment and the Fast Track Regulatory Process
Program. In order to qualify to participate in the programs a new or expanding business must meet
specified criteria related to the type of industry proposed, number of jobs created and the average wage
of the new jobs.
Each of the individual programs have been adopted by the Board and are codified in Chapter 49 of the
Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances. The current Fast Track Regulatory Process Program was
adopted by the Board on January 24, 2006, via Resolution No. 2006- 12.
On April 12,201 I, the Economic Development Council submitted a request, along with the completed
Incentive Program Application, for Collier Scrap Metal Recycling. Inc. to pal1icipate in Job Creation
and Fast Track. As described in the information submitted by the EDC, Collier Scrap Metal Recycling,
1nc., is a new recycling business that will take in various types of scrap metal and pay customers a per
pound amount for the materials. Mr. Rafael Barrios Moreno, President of Collier Scrap Metal
Recycling, Inc., obtained his Electrical Journeyman Certification from Lorenzo Walker Institute of
Technology, in Collier County. He then acccptcd a job at Edison Community College where he also
attended classes and was mentored by Dr. Kirk Otto, current President of the Environmental Study Club.
Mr. Moreno is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, The Association of Facilities and
Engineering and obtained the Environmental Protection Agency Universal Certification. Mr. Moreno's
father, Rafael Barrios, Sr.. owns and operates USA Scrap metal Co. in Miami and is the primary investor

5/10/2011 Item 10.C.
and business partner in Collier Scrap Metal Recycling, Inc. By way of this application, the company
proposes to create 15 jobs in Collier County over a three-year period at an average wage of$50.833.
The company will be leasing an existing building to accommodate this new business. The proposed
location is 201 I Seward A venue, between Houchin Street and Yahl Street. The property is currently
zoned Industrial and will require a Conditional Use Peonit to allow scrap recycling at the site. The
proposed capital investment related to this project is $250,000 over a three-year period, related to the
purchase of equipment. The applicant has requested to participate in the Fast Track Program which will
allow the required process to be expedited.
Based on the business locating in western Collier County, the following are the criteria to participate in
Job Creation and Fast Track:
. Create new or expanded businesses that are "Targeted Industries"
. Create a minimum of20 new full-time jobs
. The newly created jobs must pay an average wage of at least 150% of the current
private sector average wage ($58.079)
Considered part of the "CleanTech" cluster, Collier Scrap Mctal Recycling, Inc. meets the targeted
industry requirement for the Job Creation and Fast Track. Howcver, the company does not meet the
minimum threshold for the creation of 20 new full-time jobs at 150% of the current Collier County
private-sector average wage ($58,079), as they are proposing to create 15 jobs at 131 % of the Collier
County private-sector average wage ($50.833).
Pursuant to Florida Statute Section 125.045 (County economic dcvelopment powers). the Board of
County Commissioners is expressly authorized to make "grants to private enterprises for the expansion
of businesses existing in the community or the attraction of new businesses in the community."
Therefore, Collier Scrap Metal Recycling, Inc. would qualify for an economic incentive package under
FS 125.045 and the Board may approve a package equal to Collier County's Economic Incentive
Programs for Job Creation and Fast Track.
County staff. the County Attorney. the EDC, and company representatives have developed the following
additional criteria to be included in the incentive package to provide assurances that the assistance
provided to the company will provide direct benefits to Collier County.
. The company proposes to crcate 15 ncw jobs. Job creation funds in the amount of$2.000
will be provided for each new job created and tilled by a Collier County resident or an
employee relocating to Collier County. The incentive will be paid over three years and
the residency will be veri tied each year.
The local Economic Incentive Programs arc pcrfornlance based. The participating companies must meet
specific requirements including jobs created, wage criteria. etc.. in order to maintain eligibility to receive
funds.

5/10/2011 Item 10.C.
FISCAL IMPACT: Collier Scrap Metal Recycling, Inc. is seeking financial incentives in the total
amount of $30,000. The following is a breakdovm of the amount per program and the estimated timing
that incentive payments may occur.
Fast Track: Fast Track provides expedited review processes for qualifying developments, but does not
involve the award of incentive funds or any other County funding.
Job Creation: The company is proposing to create 15 new jobs. ]n the event that the company is
approved, the jobs will be created in three phases with a total of 15 jobs in place by September 30, 2013.
Typically, once the minimum threshold for the numbcr of jobs to be created is met (15), job creation
payments in the amount of $2,000 per job will be paid over three years, beginning in the fiscal year
following the date the newly created jobs are verified to be in place. This approach has been used to
help ensure that companies meet at least the minimum threshold of job creation required to participate in
the program. As part of this request package, the schedule of proposed payments corresponds directly
to the job creation as it occurs in phases. The following is a schedule, by fiscal year, displaying when
the Job Creation payments would occur (assuming that all jobs are created and validated) in accordance
with this request:
Fiscal Year Potential Amount of Job Basis of Payment
Creation Payment
FY 2012 $3,333 First Payment Phase] - 5 jobs
FY 2013 $6,666 Second Payment Phase] - 5 jobs

The amounts above are subject to change, based on any new applicants that are accepted into or those
that withdraw from the programs.
Funding for the local economic incentive programs is provided by the General Fund (00]). The current
FY 201 I budget only provides funding for those applicants with executed agreements or agreements
pending approval. All of the financial information related to the local incentive programs is reviewed
annually as part of the budget preparation in order to accurately provide a recommended funding level
for the programs.
The Impact Fee Administration Section of the Grov.th Management Division, in coordination with the
staff from the EDC, is responsible for job verification as well as monitoring program compliance.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Grov.1:h Management Plan which states: "Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base."
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The applicant does not meet the Ordinance's minimum threshold for
the creation of 20 new full-time jobs at ] 50% of the current Collier County private-sector average wage
($58,079), as they are proposing to create 15 jobs at 13 I % of the Collier County private-sector average
wage ($50,833). That said, by Ordinance No. 2009-22 the Board of County Commissioners declared
that a State of Local Economic Emergency exists within Collier County, finding. among other things, a
significant loss of jobs within the County. Additionally, pursuant to Florida Statute Section 125.045
(County economic development powers), the Board of County Commissioners is cxpressly authorized to
make "grants to private enterprises for the expansion of businesses existing in the community or the
attraction of new businesses in the community." Accordingly, it is the opinion of the County Attorney
that this item is legally sufficient for Board action. -JAK
RECOMMENDA nON: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a Job Creation and Fast
Track incentive package for Collier Scrap Metal Recycling. Inc. in accordance with Florida Statute
Section 125.045 to create ] 5 new jobs at 131 % of the Collier County private-sector average wage
($50.833). and to be accepted into the Fast Track Regulatory Process Program for the proposed project
to be located at 2011 Seward Avenue.

it has been our goal for years to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly
recycling center, a recycling business oriented to educate, integrate, and motivate
every resident of this prosperous community. Our recycling center will help save
landfills from becoming full of reusable or recyclable resources as well generate
high income jobs which as a result will help reduce the unemployment and poverty
rate. and add a higher per capita income to Collier County residents.
Our project means new jobs and better handling of the resources compared to
incineration or filling up our landfill. In a 2000. a Florida Recycling Economic Study
