EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 16B2
September 14,2010
Page 1 of 4
Recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve an Amendment to the previously approved Grant
Agreement between the CRA and The Greater Eastern Collier County Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
(ECOC), attached hereto as Exhibit" A"
OBJECTIVE: Request that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve an Amendment to the previously approved Grant Agreement
between the CRA and The Greater Eastern Collier County Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (ECOC),
attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
CONSIDERATIONS: On August 19. 2009 the CRA Advisory Committee voted unanimously to
recommend to the CRA Board funding up to $50,000 for the Harvest Festival. The ECOC written
proposal was submitted to the CRA Advisory Committee on February 17, 2010. With abstentions by five
members who also serve on the ECOC Board, the CRA Advisory Committee voted to recommend the
proposal to the CRA Board for funding. On May 11, 2010. the CRA Board entered into a funding
Agreement with ECOC to provide reimbursement grant funding for ECOC expenditures related to the
Harvest Festival in the amount of $43,875.00.
The attached Amendment to Agreement is necessary to allow for reimbursement for actual expenses
incurred by the ECOC in connection with the Harvest Festival. The parties entered into the original
Agreement after the date the Harvest Festival took place. Because the Agreement allowed
reimbursement for eligible expenses incurred after the effective date of the Agreement, it prevented
payment for actual expenses incurred in connection with the March 20, 2010, Harvest Festival.
Appropriate revisions have been made to the Amendment to Agreement to allow for reimbursement to
the ECOC as intended by the CRA.
FISCAL IMPACT: This action is only to make minor changes to the previously approved Agreement.
Therefore, this change by and of itself will have no fiscal impact on the County.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's
Office and is legally sufficient for Board action-SRT.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the BCC approve the attached Amendment to the previously
approved Grant Agreement between the CRA and The Greater Eastern Collier County Chamber of
Commerce, Inc. (ECOC), attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
