RESOLUTION NO. 2001- 419
A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE COUNTY INCENTIVE GRANT PROGRAM
(CIGP), SECTION 339.2817 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES
Whereas, the Florida Legislature established the County Incentive Grant Program, Section
339.2817 of the Florida Statutes, to provide state matching funds for local governments projects
that directly or indirectly increase the capacity of the Florida Intrastate Highway System or the
State Highway System; and
Whereas, the matching funds to be provided by the state under the Program were to be from
surplus General Revenue in the 2000-2001, 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 State Fiscal Years (FY)
and from a reduction of the seven percent (7%) administrative fee changed by the Florida
Department of Revenue for the collection and redistribution of Local Option Gas Tax in FY
2004-2005 and thereafter; and
Whereas, the seven percent (7%) administrative fee charged by the Department of Revenue is to
be reduced to three percent (3%) with the other four percent (4%) funding projects selected by
the County Incentive Grant Program; and
Whereas, the FY 2002-2003 County Incentive Grant Program applications were submitted,
reviewed and competitively selected based upon their improvement to the Florida State Intrastate
Highway System and the State Highway System; and
Whereas, Collier County was awarded a grant of $3,659,250 for Phase IV Livingston Road from
Immokalee Road to the Lee County Line in FY 2002-2003; and
Whereas, after being informed of the award of the grant, the State now finds that its General
Revenue funding is reduced and, in response, has chosen not to submit the selected County
Incentive Grant Program projects to the Florida Legislature as part of the Governor's budget
request.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners, FLORIDA:
1. That the Collier County Board of County Commissioners requests that the planned
reduction in the administrative fee charged by the Florida Department of Revenue to
collect and redistribute the Local Government Option Gas Taxes from seven percent
(7%) to three percent (3%) be accelerated from the State Fiscal Year 2004-2005 to Fiscal
Year 2002-2003 and the proceeds of the four percent (4%) be used to fund the FY 2002-
2003 projects, including the $3,659,250 for the Livingston Road Phase IV improvements,
as previously selected under the Program.

2. That the Florida Legislature repeal Section 339.2817, Florida Statutes, unless an
alternative state funding source is made available to fund the Program, and that the
reduction of four percent (4%) in the Florida Department of Revenue's administrative fee
be made permanent effective July 1, 2003, with the resulting funds returned to the County
from which it is collected as part of its Local Government Option Gas Tax proceeds used
to meet the County's transportation needs.
