EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting as the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve a Resolution changing various sections of the Immokalee
CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program Policies and Procedures Document,
Application and Recipient Agreement.
OBJECTIVE:
That BCC acting as the CRA approve a Resolution changing various sections of the Immokalee CRA
Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program Policies and Procedures Document, Application and
Recipient Agreement identified in and adopted by Section Four of Ordinance Number 08-40, as amended
by Resolution Number 08-349 and Ordinance Number 2009-10, in order to clarify and better explain
applicant requirements and procedural guidelines of the Program.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On July 30, 2002, the BCC adopted Ordinance No. 2002-38, the "Collier County Redevelopment Grant
Program Ordinance" creating a Site Improvement Grant and Impact Fee Assistance Grant for the
Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area.
On July 22, 2008 the BCC amended Ordinance No. 2002-38 in order to adopt Ordinance 2008-40
creating a Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program within the Immokalee CRA using a portion
of the funds in the Redevelopment Trust Fund.
On December 2, 2008 the CRA approved Resolution No. 2008-349 expanding the Immokalee CRA
Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program to include an Application, Recipient Agreement,
Lessee Agreement, Commitment of Resources Form, Project Summary Form and Payment Request
Form.
On March 10, 2009 the BCC approved Ordinance 2009-10 amending Ordinance No. 2008-40 to correct
a scrivener's error in the Policies and Procedures document of the Immokalee Commercial Facade
Improvement Grant Program.
The proposed changes to the Immokalee CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Grant program are
indicated in the attached strikethrough/underline versions of the Policies & Procedures document (Exhibit
B), Application (Exhibit C) and Recipient Agreements (Exhibit D). Significant changes include the
requirement for a mandatory pre-application meeting and that CRA Board is required to have the final
decision on all Site Improvement Grant and Impact Fee Assistance Grant applications.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action is only to make procedural changes to the previously approved Policies & Procedures
document, Application and Recipient Agreements. 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-JBW.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend that the BCC approve a Resolution changing the Policies & Procedures document (Exhibit
B), Application (Exhibit C) and Recipient Agreements (Exhibit D) for the Immokalee Commercial Facade
Improvement Grant Program.

Exhibit B
Se~tion 1 - PI"02ram Purpose and Benefits
The Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency's Commercial Facade Improvement
Program allows for the usc of Contnllmity Redevelopment Agency (CRA) grant funds, in
conjunction with privatc investments, for general improvements to the exterior of commercial
structures located within the boundaries of the Immokalee Urban Designated Area.
The intent of the Commercial Facade Improvement Program is to increase commercial
occupancy rates and properly values within the CRA while rcvitalizing the overall appearance of
the Immokalee Urban Designated Area. To accomplish this objective, the Program assists
commercial property owners and tenants to restore or renovate the exteriors of their structures,
thereby improving thc arca's physical characteristics and enhancing the visual quality and
attractivcness of the environment, which will lead to increased investment, occupancy and
properly values.
Eligible applicants can receive grant funding up to $20,000 using a one-half (Y2)-to-one match
with equal applicant funding for facade improvements to commercial structures. To illustrate, if
a grant amount of $20,000 is requested, the applicant must provide funding in an amount of at
least $10,000 toward redevelopment of the project as welL
All facade improvements must be consistent with the hnmokalee Community Redevelopment
Plan, Immokalee Area Master Plan, and the Land Development Code.
CRA staff will review applications for completeness and determine if funding is to be
recommended. Grant funds will bc distributed only upon completion of improvements and
submittal of all receipts, invoices and required documentation to CRA staff. Applicants must be
willing to maintain the renovations and improvements for at least five years. Thc Grantee shall
not be liable to the CRA for repayment of the grant funds provided the Grantee complies with all
conditions set forlh in the Grant Agreemcnt. Should the Grantec transfer, sell, divest itself of its
interest in the subjcct property, or fail to maintain the renovations and improvements during the
fivc-ycar pcriod following reccipt of the grant funds, the CRA shall bc entitled to reimbursement
of the grant funds as follows:
Elapsed Time Amount Dne CRA
o to one year after grant funds received 100%
Onc ycar after grant funds received 80%
Two years after grant funds received 60%
Three years after grant funds received 40%
Four years after grant funds reccivcd 20%
Five years after grant funds reccived 0%
Grant funding is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Based on the amount of funding
requested, applications must be approved by the appropriate entity (CRA, CRA Advisory Board,
CRA Executive Director or designce) beforc work can begin on the improvements. Grants will
not be awarded for work prcviously completed or that is in the process of being completed.

funds once a project has reached agreed-upon milestones. In these cases, the applicant and thc
CRA will reach an agreement before construction begins on the terms and conditions of such a
milestone and the amount of the partial payment. However, grant fimds cannot be used to
reimburse the applicant for any work done on the building prior to the date of a fully executed
Grant Agreement between the applicant and the CRA.
Funds will be disbursed by a check payable to the applicant (I) upon cel1ification of completion
