Accelerator Project.
This agreement continues operational funding support at a reduced level of$600,000 for the Naples Accelerator and
the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee,as outlined in Article III of the agreement and in the updated Collier
County Accelerator Business Plan submitted by EII.
Under Article IV of the agreement, the County is obligated for direct payment of$203, 829 in rent for the Naples
Accelerator,and for$396,171 in reimbursable personnel and operating expenses outlined in Exhibit B1 for EII. Per

Prepared By: Commissioner Burt Saunders,District 3
1 O*B
Outstanding Pav Request Summary—Economic Incubators, Inc.
1. Invoice: FY-18-24
Amount: $16,963.76
This is the last pay request from EII for Fiscal Year 2018. The Clerk's office has
withheld payment claiming per Florida Statute 287.017(1), all deliverables under the
annual contract were not met.
It is the opinion of EII management and the Board of Directors that all services required
by the contract were provided and met. Deliverables linked to budget estimates were not
fully achieved due to unforeseen circumstances and events, including a hurricane and the
delayed opening of the Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee.
Although some budgeted revenue estimates were not met, this did not increase contract
costs to the County. EII performed services at a reduced cost throughout FY 2018.
Though$800,000 was budgeted for the year, EII billed the County for only $503,359.21
in reimbursable service costs, which the final payment of$16,963.76 is outstanding. The
County direct paid another $197,892.50 in rent for the Naples Accelerator lease, putting
the total FY 18 costs at$701,251.71, or$98,748.29 less than the budgeted amount for the
Fiscal Year.
2. Invoice: FY-19-06
Amount: $15,234.71
This payment was for payroll ending 12/31/18, and had quarterly reporting and
deliverables tied to payment. The Clerk has withheld payment citing unspecified errors
and inefficiencies, while also claiming that EII is behind on revenue goals. EII has
requested further information regarding the errors and missing information be provided.
The EII contract with the County has annual revenue deliverables as outlined in Exhibit B
of the contract. If the annual revenue deliverables are evenly divided across four
quarters, EII is substantially exceeding business income while behind in private
investment.
Business income through December 2018 was $63,105 vs. a budget of$59,319 which is a
6%improvement. Through January 2019, Business Income totaled$85,506 compared
with a budget of$77,156, or 11%better. Private investment was $10,663.79 through
December 2018. Though this accounts for only about 10%of EII's annual goal, our
fundraising committee is working diligently to raise private investment. EII fully
anticipates meeting private investment deliverables in the current fiscal year.
3. Invoice: FY- 19-07
Amount: $20,656.31
10B
This is for payroll ending 1/15/19 and per communication from the Clerk's office, has no
specific deliverables tied to it.
4. Invoice: FY- 19-08
Amount: $15,559.82
This payment is for payroll ending 1/31/19. All deliverables, including the January
month-end financials are uploaded in SAP and awaiting review by Internal Audit.
5. Invoice: FY- 19-09
Amount: $19,483.05
This payment is for payroll ending 2/15/19. Though it was only recently submitted, like
FY 19-07 as a mid-month payroll, there are no specific deliverables tied to it.
Total outstanding pay requests: $87, 897.65

BUSINESS INCOME
The Accelerator Project is expected to generate Business Income, which includes,
income from service fees,rental fees,usage fees and other miscellaneous revenue generated by
the Accelerator Project's operations. Private contributions (in-kind,cash, services,etc.)will be
excluded from Business Income. Private contributions revenue may be expended by Ell for
10B
purposes determined by Ell without Board of County Commissioner approval. Private
contributions and matching expenses must be maintained separately from Business Income
records and may be reviewed by the County Manager or his designee upon request. This
information is considered confidential and will not become a part of the public records
documentation or County funded records. Business income will be managed, collected,
recorded, reported, and retained by Ell within the Accelerator Project. Business income is
considered unrestricted funds and will be used for program cash flow or allowable program
costs as detailed in the budget and Article IV.The use of business income will require a budget,
which shall be reviewed quarterly and approved by the Executive Committee of Ell's Board of
Directors, and will be approved by the County Manager or his designee. Travel allowance or
reimbursements shall be paid by Ell. Rent for 170 Airpark Blvd., #103, Immokalee, Florida
34142,shall be paid by Ell.At the termination of this Agreement,any unspent Business Income
and private contributions will be returned to the County or Ell's successor.
The establishment of an organization that maximizes business income to leverage the
County's financial commitment is paramount to the relationship created by this Agreement.
During the term of this Agreement,it is the intent of the parties that COUNTY funding be used
primarily for all expenditures reimbursable under the COUNTY's reimbursement policies,
whereas Business Income may be used or held in reserve until such time as it is required or
carried forward to the Project's next fiscal year. Ell's establishment of a Reserve Fund to meet
its future cash flow and capital requirements is authorized.
Ell's Board of Directors' Executive Committee shall approve quarterly reports that
account for Business Income and private contributions or in-kind private contribution, and the
minutes of this approval will be provided to the County Manager or his designee. The monthly
report on Business Income and private contributions or in-kind private contribution shall detail
Ell's progress toward the budgeted amount identified on Exhibit B 1. The Fiscal Agent is
authorized to seek BCC approval of an adjusted budget, revenue and expense, in response to
revenue shortfalls that are 70 percent of the quarterly targeted revenue budget calculated by
dividing the Business Income and the private contributions budget delineated in Exhibit Bl by
4(fiscal-year quarters).
The USDA Rural Business Development Grant("RBDG")used to purchase equipment
at the Florida Culinary Accelerator @ Immokalee requires that a percentage of business income
generated from grant-funded equipment be used to create an equipment maintenance fund.Ell
agrees to account for and segregate the percentage allocated from business income for the
equipment maintenance fund and to submit these funds to the COUNTY monthly.
ARTICLE XXVIII

subject to reimbursement.

to the subcontractor for all expenses and liabilities incurred during the contract subject
to appropriate reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Any and all subcontracts Ell executes for the Project shall include provisions
whereby Ell and the subcontractor agree to abide by all local,state and federal laws and
indemnify and hold harmless the COUNTY.
ARTICLE XXIX
