EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve Local
Advisory Board members and four CRA staff attendance at Florida Redevelopment
Association 2008 Annual Conference; authorize payment of attendees' registration,
lodging, travel and per diem from the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Trust Fund (Fund 187)
travel budget; and declare the training received as serving a valid public purpose
OBJECTIVE: Recommendation that the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve
Local Advisory Board members and three CRA staff attendance at Florida Redevelopment
Association 2008 Annual Conference; authorize payment of attendees' registration, lodging,
travel and per diem from the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Trust Fund (Fund 187) travel budget;
and declare the training received as serving a valid public purpose.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Resolution No. 99 -410, the Board of County Commissioners
has determined that attendance at functions or activities that are of educational, professional or
trade serves as a valid public purpose, provided that said functions reasonably relate to Collier
County matters.
Florida Statute 163.356(3)(d) - known as "Creation of community redevelopment agency" —
states: `At any time after the creation of a community redevelopment agency, the governing
body of the county or municipality may appropriate to the agency such amounts as the
governing body deems necessary for the administrative expenses and overhead of the
agency....'
Florida Statute 163.387(6) - known as "Redevelopment trust fund" — states: `Moneys in the
redevelopment trust fund may be expended from time to time for the following purposes, when
directly related to financing or refinancing of redevelopment in a community redevelopment
area pursuant to an approved community redevelopment plan: (a) Administrative and overhead
expenses necessary or incidental to the implementation of a community redevelopment plan
adopted by the agency.'
Collier County Ordinance 2000 -42 establishes the Redevelopment Trust Fund and appoints the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as the governing body of the Community
Redevelopment Agency and the trustee of the Redevelopment Trust Fund.
CONSIDERATIONS: Annually the Local Advisory Board recommends the CRA Board
approve travel and training funding for any Advisory Board member and CRA staff desiring to
attend the Florida Redevelopment Association's (FRA) Annual Conference. This year's
conference is October 22 - 24, 2008 in Tampa, Florida. Currently, the CRA Executive Director
and three staff desire to attend. The maximum cost is approximately $772 per person for
registration ($295 /person) /lodging ($159 /night) and approximately $550 for group mileage and
parking (carpooling). Actual cost per person will vary depending on group travel, number days
attended and times of departure from and return to Naples.
Agenda Item No. 16G2

PUBLIC PURPOSE: To expand the Advisory Board member's and CRA staff's professional
development. To attend the annual conference of the Florida Redevelopment Association for
training and education about CRAs and their powers and functions, and redevelopment
programs available to CRAB to eliminate slum and blight from the Bayshore Gateway Triangle
CRA. Through attendance at conference lectures and tours, attendees will become aware of
successful programs and projects in other Florida CRAB and learn from other CRA experiences.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient budget exists within the FY08 & proposed FY09 Bayshore
Gateway Triangle Fund 187 (Travel Professional Development) to fund the requested
conference attendance. Registration fees ($295 /person) will be paid in advance from FY08
budget, and lodging ($159 /night/person), travel and per diem will be paid from proposed FY09
budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Policy 4.7 of the Future Land Use Element of the
Growth Management Plan states that redevelopment plans may be developed for specific areas
within the County, including the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA, that may consider
alternative land use plans, modifications to development standards, improvements to
infrastructure and incentives to encourage redevelopment.
RECOMMENDATION: The Community Redevelopment Agency approve Local Advisory
Board members and CRA staff attendance at Florida Redevelopment Association 2008 Annual
Conference; authorize payment of attendees' registration, lodging, travel and per diem from the
Bayshore Gateway Triangle Trust Fund (Fund 187) travel budget; and declare the training
received as serving a valid public purpose.
