6/28/2011 Item 16.E.1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Amendment No. 06 to the Agreement with Collier County District
School Board for the Driver Education Program to provide $196,200 in funding.
OBJECTIVE: To receive approval of an amendment to the agreement with the District School
Board to allocate Driver Education Grant funds to supplement driver education for public and
private high school students.
CONSIDERA TIONS: On July 29, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted
Ordinance No. 2003-39, entitled "Dori Slosberg Driver Education Ordinance" to authorize the
collection of a $5.00 surcharge on all civil traffic penalties in county court to supplement driver
education funds and to establish the Driver Education Trust Fund (173). This Ordinance was
amended by Ordinance No. 2007-39 on April 24, 2007 (Item 17 A) based on changes to Florida
Statutes. The Board further approved grant program procedures on October 14, 2003 that
authorize the County Manager, or designee, to solicit grant applications and to negotiate a grant
agreement with any eligible applicants.
-
The 2011 Grant Program guidelines and applications were sent to each of the private high
schools and the District School Board on February 15,2011. A response was received only from
the District School Board to fund the summer driver education program for public and private
Collier County students, supplies, equipment and fuel for year round Driver Education Programs
and para-professionals to assist in providing the minimum of 30% behind-the-wheel time for
students at a cost of $196,200. The Summer School program offered by the School District is
also open to private high school students.
The Grant Program is set up for funds collected as of February 1 of each year to be advertised to
all eligible entities. Applications are due by March 31 of each year. Staff reviews the
expenditure report of the previous program year's funding and includes any necessary references
to carry over funds from the previous year in the agreement for the current year.
The District School Board has submitted an appl ication seven years in a row for a Summer
Program, salaries for paraprofessionals, and purchase of equipment and materials to supplement
annual programming for the schoo] year. The Program Year is typically July to June and is
kicked off with the Summer Driver Education Program.
--
The Project Report submitted for this year summarized the use of the funds through March 2011.
The report requests permission to carry an estimated $33,037 in funding from the 2010-11 Grant
Cycle into the 2011-12 Grant Cycle. The District continues to expend the funds from that
Program Year until it ends in June and then provides the actual amount of carry forward funds in
the Project Report. This was also done in the previous year and due to a conflict in the District
fiscal year and summer schedule will continue to be necessary in future years. To account for
the use of the carry forward funds each year, the District sets up a separate account in its budget,
and expends those funds prior to expending funds allocated for the new Program Year. The
Project Report includes pages from the District budget identifying how the funds were expended.

Ei2bt Driver Education Teachers for Summer Proeram are needed/four teachers Der site at two different sites.
Driver Education is recognized as the number one elective in the state of Florida. However, students in advanced classes, specialized programs,
and/or students enrolled in private!home school may not have the opportunity to include Driver Education in their schedule due to the rigor of their
course work. This summer program gives students the opportunity to be properly trained in Driver Education and is vitally important as motor
vehicle crasnes are the number one killer of adolescents. Half of the 2012 costs will be paid from the 2011-2012 funds and the second half will be
paid from the 2012-2013 funds.
Paraprofessionals at eacb Hil!h School

COLLIER COUNTY DRIVER EDUCATION GRANT PROGRAM
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Collier County has created the Collier County Driver Education Grant Program under the authority of
Section 318.1215 of the Florida Statutes, entitled "The Dori Slosberg Driver Education Safety Act." This
,
act allows the Board of County Commissioners to enact an ordinance authorizing the Clerk of Courts to
collect a five dollar ($5.00) surcharge on all moving and non-moving civil traffic infractions, except
infractions related to parking of vehicles, filed in County Court to fund the direct education expenses of
driver education programs in both public and non-public high schools.
The Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida has deemed it appropriate and in the best
interest of the public health, safety and welfare to adopt Ordinance No. 2007-39 to collect this surcharge
to supplement driver education funding and, as such, to create a grant program to manage and disburse the
funds appropriately. Funds collected are deposited into Fund 173 Driver Education, a special trust fund
established specifically for these funds. The County Manager, or designee, will request regular reports of
these funds from the Clerk of Courts.
By February 1 of each year, the County Manager, or designee, will mail a Ietter to the School District
contact and to each non-public high school indicating the provisions of the grant program and indicating
an approximate funding level for that year.
USE OF FUNDS
All funds collected will be used exclusively to fund the direct expenses of driver education programs in
both public and non-public high schools in Collier County. Direct driver education expenses are defined
as those that directly improve the level of skill, responsibility and capability of students to become better
drivers. Eligible direct education expenses include the purchase of goods and services, including, but not
limited to, driver education course materials, vehicles exclusively used for driver education programs,
driver simulators, and salaries of driver education instructors. Administrative expenses to support the
underlying driver education program and other items solely to support the instructor or classroom are not
eligible for grant funding. Furthermore, based on the legislative intent of Section 3 I 8.1215 of the Florida
Statutes, Collier County may lawfully disburse funds to a new driver education program as long as the
funds are used for the direct expenses of the new program and there is no supplanting of already existing
funds. Each program will also be required to verify that a minimum of 30 percent (30%) of a student's
time in the program is spent doing behind-the-wheel training.
Funds will be apportioned based on the total number of high school students (grades 9-12) enrolled as of
September I of the previous year.
The application period will be March I - March 3 I of the following year with funding based on
collections through February I of each year. Each applicant will be required to report on the application
the number of eligible students as of September 1 of the previous year.
The apportionment of funds will be adjusted annually based on the number of students reported on each
application, or in the case that no applications are submitted, by the County Manager, or designee, every

2009-2010 Final ReDort
The 2009-Z0 I 0 Slosberg .Fund has provided additional resources for the School District of Collier County
Driver Education Program. The Slosberg Funds have assisted the District in reaching the goals in Driver
Education to achieve the National Driver Education Stmdan:ls.
Specifically, the funding has been used for additional equipment, fuel, maintenance and the summer
school program. There was an overestimated equipment, fuel and maintenance charges by about $10,000.
The purchase of two vehicles was $18,193 less than what was budgeted.
The District planned two summer school sites for Driver Education for both private and public school
students. Three teachers were hired for two sites, Barron Collier High Schoo] and Gulf Coast High
Schoo\. There were over 240 students enrolled. Since the summer school expenses for 2010-2011
were going to be about $31,367, funds would have to come out of the new year's budget.
Attached are the detailed budget status summary reports which identify the expenditures for this year. It
is noted that the original budget for the grant application does not match the actual expenditures. The
following information _outlines the discrepancy and the identified need that guided the decisions.
. It was determined that there were maintenance issues with the two newest simulator systems.
Since this system is different from the other schools' systems, it was decided that it would be both
productively and financially beneficial to replace them with the same system as all the other
schools. The cost for this was going to be $98,473.94. We looked at the budget to determine
where the funds should be taken.
The amount of $100,720 was transferred from these accounts to the capitalized computer account
in January 2010 and a purchase order was issued for the new simulators. At that time there was
concern about the amount of the grant funds for the 2010-2011 school year due to the fact that
less money had been anticipated. As a result, it was decided to cancel the purchase order and the
funds were transferred into the salarylbenefits accounts to carry forward to the 20 I 0-20 II school
year.
. A]so, it was determined that the Para Professionals' salary and benefits amount would be about
$40,890 lower than what had been budgeted. This was partially due to one less Para Professional
inthe program.
. The carry forward amount on the mid-term report of$W4,097.67 was the amount of the
simulators, in addition to an estimated amount of funds not spent. The 2010-11 summer school
amounts were included causing the carry forward amount to be the higher than the amount of
$129,356.30.
