Agenda 12/10/2019 Item #16A29 (SFRPC Annual Assessment)12/10/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize payment of the annual assessment fee for Collier County’s
membership in the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (SWFRPC), in the amount of
$110,204 for FY20.
OBJECTIVE: To authorize payment of the annual assessment fee for Collier County’s membership in
the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Board of County Commissioners entered into an interlocal agreement with
Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Sarasota Counties in 1973, establishing the Southwest
Florida Regional Planning Council (SWFRPC). The SWFRPC was formed to enable local jurisdictions to
make the most efficient use of their powers, to cooperate for mutual advantages, to provide services and
facilities, and to optimize employment of geographic, human, economic and natural resources in support
of economic, natural resources, social, land use, transportation, and public safety development.
The annual assessment fee is based on Collier County population. Payments of $100,099.58, $101,036,
$103,140, $105,060, and $107,240 were made to the SWFRPC in FY15, FY16, FY17, FY18 and FY19,
respectively. The cost for FY20 is $110,204.
In FY19, the SWFRPC issued assessments to participating members based on population. Details can be
seen below:
Member Population 2017 (BEBR Est.) Assessment
Collier County 357,470 $ 107,241
Glades County 13,087 $ 3,926
Hendry County 39,057 $ 11,717
City of Fort Myers 79,106 $ 23,732
Town of Fort Myers Beach 6,328 $ 1,898
City of Bonita Springs 50,137 $ 15,041
City of Sanibel 6,659 $ 1,998
City of Sarasota 53, 865 $ 16,160
Total Assessments 605,709 $ 181,713
Notably in FY19, and in previous years, Charlotte, Lee and Sarasota Counties, all founding members of
the agreement, did not participate in the funding assessment. This led to Collier County funding
approximately 60% of the overall assessment. In coming years, this trend should be monitored, and
County staff should meet to determine the best path forward to fund the SWFRPC.
While the organization, duties, and powers of a Regional Planning Agency are set forth by Chapters 23,
163, and 380 of the Florida Statutes, the defined budget of each individual agency is not. Per the 1973
Interlocal Agreement, the region shall adopt a budget on or before August 15th of each year to be
approved by the governing body of the principal unit.
FISCAL IMPACT: With Board approval of membership payment, sufficient budget exists in the
General Fund (001) to pay the annual membership fee.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
