EXECUTIVE SUM WARY Recommendation for the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to Approve a CRA Resolution to amend the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Site Improvement Grant program and approve the amended form of the CAA Grant Agreement (Fiscal Impact — None) OBJECTIVE: To approve a CRA Resolution to amend the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA -Site Improvement Grant program and approve the amended form of the CRA Grant Agreement. BACKGROUND: Florida Statute 163.370 - "Powers; counties and municipalities, community redevelopment agencies" — authorizes the CRA to carry out plans for a program of voluntary or compulsory repair and rehabilitation of buildings or other improvements in accordance with the community redevelopment plan. Collier County Ordinance 2002 -38, as amended, created the Site Improvement Grant for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The ordinance provided that the .CRA Board may amend the Site Improvement Grant by Resolution. CONSIDERATIONS: The CRA Local Advisory Board has monitored the Site Improvement Grant program for the CRA for seven years and amended it from time to time to add grant programs from the Bayshore Gateway Triangle and Immokalee CRAB and to make adjustments to the programs to meet the current economic and fiscal conditions. A thorough review of the this program and its process has determined that the program should be amended to better serve the community by widening the scope of from where the private sector matching funds come. The Resolution (Exhibit A) modifies the private sector matching funds requirements to, allow. . not -for- profits or third parties to provide the 66 % match; however the grant application and- agreement must still be executed between the CRA and the residential homeowner. The form of the CRA Grant Agreement has been modified to reflect the amendments made to the Site Improvement Grant program (Exhibit B). FISCAL IMPACT: Of the $426,600 in FY12 Grant Funds, $ 261,817 has been awarded by the CRA Board in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, and $164,783 is available for FYI grant purposes. LEGAL CQN=H&UQNS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is legally sufficient, and requires majority vote for approval. -STW GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECQ_MMENDATION: Recommendation for the CRA Board to approve a CRA Resolution to amend the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Site Improvement Grant program and approve the amended form of the CRA Grant Agreement.

B.5. B A Y S H 0 R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE Gateway Triangle CRA I Site improvement Grant Site Improvement Grant Program The Site Improvement Grant Program (SIG) is a redevelopment initiative funded and administered by the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as partial reimbursement for exterior improvements to buildings for residents and non - profit organizations within the Redevelopment Area. Overview of the Program Tenants and owners of residential and select non - residential properties for which property taxes are paid to the current year (see "Applicant Eligibility: Non - Residential Properties" below) and located within the CRA boundaries may be eligible to receive SIG funding. The SIG program funds only exterior improvements as a matching grant, requiring applicants to contribute a minimum of 67 percent of total project costs. The maximum dollar award under this program is $8,000. Work must be completed within a year from the date of approval. All improvements must be at least partially visible to the public, either from the public right -of -way or some other highly visible location. Grantees generally receive SIG funds in about 45 days after CRA staff visit the site and review all paperwork to verify grantee eligibility. Applicant Eligibility: Residential Properties The SIG program is designed to primarily be a tool for improvement for residential properties; however, certain properties zoned for other uses may be eligible as noted below. Owner- occupied and rental (single - family, duplex, triplex, and quadriplex only) residential property located within the Redevelopment Area may be improved with partial funding from the SIG program. Properties with mobile homes may qualify for Sweat Equity or Landscape Improvement Grant funding. Applicants may submit one application per property per year and may apply for additional funds until they receive a total of $8,000 from the CRA. Once an applicant has received $8,000 in SIG funding, that person is ineligible for funding for another SIG for three years but may be eligible for other CRA- backed grants. Applicant Eligibility: Non - Residential Properties The only applicants with non - residential properties who are eligible to receive SIG funds must be affiliated with non - profit entities. Applications for improvements to these kinds of properties must adhere to the same rules as residential applications as noted above (as applicable). Non - residential applicants must have a valid occupational license (as applicable) for their business or organization at the time of application.

Successful applicants to either the SEG or SIG program may only have one active grant agreement at any given time. When the cumulative total of grant awards reaches $8,000, grantees become ineligible for SIG and SEG funds for three years. Bids for Work For each type of improvement to be funded, applicants must obtain a minimum of two cost estimates. For improvements to be performed by contractors, two official bids by contractors from the list on the Collier County Contractor's Search page, located at http: / /apps2.colliergov. net/ webat) ps /vision/ConCert/default.aspx, are required. Bids from contractors not listed in Collier County's database of actively licensed contractors will not be accepted for the SIG program. For "do -it- yourself' projects applicants must provide two official cost estimates with clear identification of vendors (CRA does not reimburse labor costs for "do- it- yourself' improvements). The amount of the grant will be determined by the lowest bid/lowest price estimate for each improvement though grantees may actually use any licensed contractor from the database or any vendor. ANY WORK PERFORMED BY CONTRACTORS NOT LISTED IN ABOVE DATABASE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. Project Requirements Eligible Activities Only exterior improvements are eligible for funding under this program.

The grant recipient will be reimbursed at a rate of $1 from CRA for every $2 from applicant, up to a maximum award of $8,000 from the CRA. During the application process, the Grantee may agree to supply funds and receive reimbursement, or an agreement may be with a third party private funding entity, as determined at time of application.

(BAYSH0RE GATEWAY TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Site Improvement Grant information Change Orders and Time Extensions Change Orders to Increase Funding After a SIG agreement is executed, if a grantee discovers or is otherwise informed of flaws in the approved site, a change order may be issued to increase funding not to exceed the maximum award available. Change orders must be requested in time for staff to process the request and secure approval (allow a minimum of one month prior to expiration of grant). IMPORTANT: Change orders cannot be processed within the last two weeks of the grant period. Upon successfully completing work under the original SIG, grantees must wait one year and may then apply for additional funding for work unrelated to the original project[s].

For grantees who cannot complete their projects within one year, time extensions may be granted. Grantees needing extensions must request the extension within two months of grant expiration. No extensions can be granted within the last two weeks of the grant period.
