Agenda 09/24/2019 Item #16F 2 (Agreement w/Collier's Future Economy, Inc.)09/24/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Agreement with the
Partnership for Collier’s Future Economy, Inc., an affiliate of the Greater Naples Chamber of
Commerce, in continued support of the established public-private partnership designed to advance
the County’s economic development efforts.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the Partnership Agreement for Fiscal Year 2020.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 10, 2013, Agenda Item 11.C., the Board approved the Office of
Business & Economic Development’s FY 2014 Business Plan including a goal of developing a local
economic development partnership. Since that time, staff has continued to advance that economic
development goal under the Board’s direction provided at several Board meetings.
On December 10, 2013, Agenda Item 10.B, the Board approved the Agreement with Partnership, a not-
for-profit entity created by the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, to develop a detailed Community
and Economic Development Strategic Plan for our community. The effort and cost sharing has resulted
in the promulgation of the “Opportunity Naples Strategy,” which was accepted by the Board on November
18, 2014, Agenda Item 11A.
This Agreement continues to implement that strategic plan with activities for 2020. The specific
initiatives and action plans produced as part of the Opportunity Naples Strategy planning effort
continue to form the basis of this Agreement, the Scope of Services, and Roles and Responsibilities
o f the Partnership , which further economic development in Collier County.
Earlier this year, County staff, along with staff from the Chamber of Commerce, sat down and
reviewed the roles and responsibilities for the Partnership. Several updates were made to each area to
modernize and bri ng in line the different economic activities, partnership collaborations, and place an
emphasis on better data and reporting.
The FY 20 agreement adds new responsibilities for the Partnership, including producing key data points
on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, through research and reporting on business retention and
expansion visits to provide aggregate data from these visits. A new deliverable was added to provide a
quarterly economic update to County Commissioners and organize an annual meeting in April providing
an annual economic update.
Currently, the Partnership maintains the Collier EDO website with funding provided by the County
through this contract. That website will be phased out in the coming year while staff works on the design
and build of a new website that seeks to consolidate and streamline the County’s economic development
information into a single website using already established branding. At that point, the Collier EDO
website will be phased out and remaining funding can be used for data collection initiatives.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost to the County for the Agreement will not exceed $100,000 in FY
2020. Funding is appropriated for this expenditure in the approved Business and Economic Development
Division FY 2020 budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: “Collier County will support
programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County’s economic base.”
