EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt an ordinance which would establish a mechanism to create a
dedicated source of revenue to fund an economic development program and to advance
economic development initiatives in zones of geographic concentration within
unincorporated Collier County. These zones, to be called Innovation Zones, will be
designated by the Board from time to time through the implementation of Economic
Development Plans adopted by Resolution for each Innovation Zone.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopts the attached
ordinance intended to promote economic growth and help diversify the economy of Collier
County by creating public-private partnerships funded, in part, by utilizing tax increment
revenues within economic development areas to be called Innovation Zones.
CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed ordinance is an enabling ordinance. It is designed for
maximum flexibility under the statutes, and to allow the Board a quick response to economic
opportunities as they become available to the County. The proposed ordinance empowers the
Board to create Innovation Zones ("Zones") by adopting a resolution defining the geographic
area comprising the zone. At the same time as the creation of the Zone, the Board would also
adopt by resolution, an Economic Development Plan for the Zone. The Economic Development
Plan would create a public-private partnership, which would among other things define various
commitments in the form of financial funding, infrastructure improvements, land donations or
other contributions, designed to promote the success of the Zone. The ZOIle would be funded, in
part, through Tax Increment financing derived within the boundaries of the Zone. The Tax
Increments would be deposited into an Economic Development Trust Fund to be created for each
Zone. Revenue bonds could then be secured from available funds maintained in the separate
Economic Development Trust Fund created for each Zone or from available funds jointly
available in multiple Economic Development Trust Funds for multiple Zones as determined in
such subsequent resolution or agreement. The proposed ordinance also authorizes the Board to
establish, from time to time, rules and regulations to implement and govern the administrative
procedures that will be necessary for staff to implement this Ordinance, including minimum
application requirements. These rules and regulations would be published and made readily
available to the public.
At its April 13, 2010 regular meeting, the Board directed the County Attorney to advertise the
proposed ordinance for future consideration. Subsequently, the stakeholders requested certain
clarifications/corrections which are indicated in the underline/strike-through version of the
ordinance. The County Attorney has reviewed and has no concerns regarding these revisions.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed ordinance was drafted by the County Attorney
and is legally sufficient for Board action. - JAK
FISCAL IMP ACT: Advertising costs for this ordinance is approximately $260.00.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMP ACT: None.
