Agenda 01/14/2020 Item #16K5 (ILRAB Appointment)01/14/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to appoint a member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board.
OBJECTIVE: To appoint one member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to fill
the remainder of a vacant term which shall expire on April 4, 2023.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted
Resolutions 2000-82 and 2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) and identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and
Immokalee) as areas in need of redevelopment. In addition, Resolution 2000 -83 authorized the creation
of Local Advisory Boards by separate resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment
plan. The CRA adopted Resolution 2001-98, which provided that the Immokalee Enterprise Zone
Development Agency would also be the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board. When the
Florida Enterprise Zone Act was repealed in 2015, the CRA adopted Resolutions 15-217 and 15-218
establishing the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board as a stand-alone advisory committee.
The purpose of this committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional input to the
CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are 3 years. A list of the current
membership is included in the backup.
The committee bylaws as revised in CRA Resolution No. 2016-198 provide that the membership of this
nine-member committee be distributed as follows:
a) Two (2) Immokalee residents;
b) Two (2) individuals representing Immokalee businesses;
c) One (1) Immokalee Lighting and Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU)
Representative;
d) One (1) individual representing a non-profit operating in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area;
e) Three (3) at-large representative who reside or engage in business, or both, in the Immokalee
Redevelopment Area.
Mr. Julian Morgan was appointed to this committee on February 27, 2018, to a seat designated as
representing Immokalee businesses; however, the BCC approved a waiver of that seat requirement for
Mr. Morgan, and appointed him as a second member representing category (d) non-profits operating in
Immokalee. Mr. Morgan has since resigned on August 16, 2019. The vacancy was advertised and an
application was received from the following:
APPLICANT CATEGORY DIST. VOTER ADVISORY COMM.
Mark Lemke d) non-profit representative 5 Yes None
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: That Mr. Lemke be appointed to fill the seat vacated by Mr.
Morgan, which term expires on April 4, 2020, to which an additional full three-year term shall be added
for an expiration date of April 4, 2023. This seat is designated for an individual representing Immokalee
businesses. Although Mr. Lemke does not engage in business in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area, the
committee feels he would be a valuable member, and therefore would request that the designation of this
vacant seat as representing Immokalee businesses be waived, and Mr. Lemke be appointed as a second
member representing category (d) non-profits operating in Immokalee. A recommendation memo is
included in the backup.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
