EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a Resolution designating the Driver License Building at 725
Airport Road South as the "Guy L. Carlton Driver License Building."
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopts the attached
Resolution designating the Driver License Building at 725 Airport Road South as the "Guy 1.
Carlton Driver License Building,"
CONSIDERATIONS: At its September 14, 2010 regular meeting, the Board reviewed a
request by current Collier County Tax Collector Larry H. Ray to recognize the vision and
dedication oHormer Tax Collector Guy 1. Carlton. Mr. Ray suggested that the Board name the
Driver License Building at 725 Airport Road South the "Guy 1. Carlton Driver License
Building. "
Mr. Carlton's 28-year tenure distinguishes him as the longest serving tax collector in the
County's history, and during a period when the population grew from 86,000 to 319,000, he
successfully transitioned and expanded the operations of the Tax Collector's Office to meet the
needs of our citizens.
As tax collector, Guy Carlton voluntarily assumed the responsibilities for driver licensing and,
with the help of the Sheriff's Office and the Clerk of Courts, established a "one stop shop" for
all driver license-related activities. This reduced the average wait time from 3 or 4 hours to 15
minutes. Mr. Carlton's accomplishments also include the addition of the Driver License
Building which serves as a first class testing facility and offers convenient and efficient driver
license services.
The Board voted unanimously to approve the Tax Collector's request and directed the County
Attorney to prepare a Resolution designating the Driver License Building as the "Guy 1.
Carlton Driver License Building."
FISCAL IMPACT: None,
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMP ACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed resolution was drafted by the County Attorney
and is legally sufficient for Board action. - JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopts the attached
Resolution designating the Driver License Building at 725 Airport Road South as the "Guy 1.
Carlton Driver License Building."
