OBJECTIVE: To approve and execute an Agreement between Collier County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, by its Board of County Commissioners, acting in their capacity as Trustee of the GAC Land Trust Committee (Board), and the All Kids Play Foundation of Corkscrew Community Inc., (Foundation) which provides for a maximum expenditure, not to exceed $5,000.00 to reimburse the Foundation for Site Development and other unforeseen expenses that arose during the construction of the Boundless Playground located at Big Corkscrew Elementary School. CONSIDERATIONS: On November 15, 1983, Avatar Properties Inc. and Collier County entered into an Agreement (1983 Agreement) that dedicated 1,061.5 acres of property in Golden Gate Estates to the County. The dedication came with the stipulation that the land itself or money derived from the sale of the land would be used by the Board for purposes directly beneficial to the residents of Golden Gate Estates, i.e., fire and police protection facilities and services, public schools, libraries and recreational facilities. The 1983 Agreement also provided that all capital improvements must be physically located within the geographical boundaries of Golden Gate Estates. At their October 28, 2008 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved Consent Agenda Item 16E23 which allowed for the expenditure of $150,000.00 from the GAC Land Trust to the Foundation for the purchase of equipment and materials to facilitate the construction of a Boundless Playground at Big Corkscrew Elementary School. On July 27, 2009, at the GAC Land Trust Committee meeting, the Foundation came before the Committee to request additional funding for reimbursement of unforeseen expenses that arose during the construction of the Boundless Playground. After hearing the Foundation's presentation, the Committee agreed, with a vote of 4 -0 (one member was absent), to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 to be expended from the GAC Land Trust to the Foundation for the unforeseen expenses. As required in the 1983 Agreement, a "Letter of No Objection" (copy attached) has been secured from Avatar Properties Inc. approving the expenditure of the funds. The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office. FISCAL IMPACT: A total allocation of $5,000.00 shall be withdrawn from Fund 605 reserves and deposited into the appropriate Fund 605 operating account. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Collier County Growth Management Plan. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The prerequisites of the 1983 Agreement have been met. The Agreement has been signed for form and legal sufficiency. This item is legally sufficient for Board consideration. — JAB RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, acting as Trustee, approves the attached Agreement providing for an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 from the GAC Land Trust to the Foundation for the reimbursement of unforeseen expenses that arose during the construction of the Boundless Playground; authorizes the Chairman to execute the attached Agreement and approves the attached Budget Amendment.
