EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve reallocation of Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding from New
Bridges Golden Gate Estates Project to the Bridge Replacement Project, in the amount of
$26,000,000.
OBJECTIVE: To approve reallocation of Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding from New Bridges Golden
Gate Estates Project to the Bridge Replacement Project, in the amount of $26,000,000.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Surtax collection started on January 1, 2019. Projects outlined in County
Ordinance 2018-21 are eligible to receive funding from the surtax so long as the expenditure occurred
after January 1, 2019, the projects meet the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the definition of
Infrastructure, and is in line with County Ordinance 2018-21. There were 3 main categories of projects
identified in Ordinance 2018-21 Transportation Projects, Facilities & Capital Replacements, and
Community Priorities. The New Bridges - Golden Gate Estates Mobility - Project and the Eleven Bridge
Replacements Project were specifically identified within the Transportation Project category, and per
Exhibit A were allocated $7,000,000 and $60,000,000, respectively.
On 4/3/2019, Agenda Item # 8.A.1, the Surtax Committee validated expenditures for improvements for
the replacement of eleven bridges in the Bridge Replacement Project in the amount of $35,434,846, of
which $7,000,000 was earmarked as Surtax Funding.
The preliminary cost estimate of the Bridge Replacement Project, determined in the planning phase prior
to engineering services, was $23,000,000. It was originally anticipated that this Project would be funded
with a combination of advanced gas tax funding and the $7,000,000 in infrastructure sales surtax
funding. Through the design process, however, additional costs related to permitting requirements,
environmental mitigation, and construction cost escalation have increased the construction cost estimate
to $33,000,000. In addition, advance funding accumulated within the bridge program was reallocated to
fund for the necessary cleanup and repairs that resulted from Tropical Cyclone Irma’s direct hit on
September 10th, 2017. Many of these expenditures were non-reimbursable, and FEMA reimbursements
for eligible expenses are currently pending. As a result, the anticipated level of advanced funding for the
project is unavailable, and the current shortfall has increased to $26,000,000.
To avoid debt service related to funding the shortfall, staff recommends the reallocation of $26,000,000
in surtax funding from the New Bridges Golden Gate Estates Project to the Bridge Replacement Project.
Due to the age and condition of the 11 bridges identified for the Bridge Replacement Project, this project
has taken priority. Design for the project has been completed and construction is anticipated to begin in
the first quarter of FY 2021. The New Bridge Golden Gate Estates project is still in the planning stage
and is not yet ready for Committee Review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Reallocate $26,000,000 of infrastructure sales surtax funding from the New
Bridges - Golden Gate Mobility - Project to the Eleven Bridge Replacements Project.

Surtax, provides for citizen oversight. Section 7(g), Duties for members of the Infrastructure Surtax
Citizen Oversight Committee, provides as follows:
The Committee shall have the responsibility to review the expenditure of Surtax proceeds
against the ballot referendum approved by the voters and this Ordinance. The Board may
expend proceeds of the Surtax on projects not specifically stated herein or in the attached
Exhibit A, so long as those projects (1) comply with the intent of the ballot language, (2)
have a positive recommendation by this Committee, and (3) fall within the projects and
categories identified. The Committee shall not recommend alternative projects, unless
requested by the Board.
This Committee has the responsibility to review the expenditure of Surtax proceeds. The Duties provide
the Committee with flexibility to recommend expenditure of Surtax proceeds on projects not specifically
stated herein as long as said projects are within the guidelines set forth in the statute and the Ordinance.
The Committee may also make recommendations to reallocate the funds set forth in Exhibit A between
authorized projects. This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval.

History
•The Florida Department of Tr ansportation provides biennial inspections of the
County-owned Bridges. These inspections provide condition ratings which are then
used to determine whether the structure needs to be repaired, rehabilitated or
replaced. The condition ratings for the eleven (11) bridges indicate that they should
be prioritized for replacement.
•On September 8, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners advertised for
professional services for the design and replacement of eleven (11) functionally
obsolete and structural deficient bridges located on major arterials east of SR 29.
•On July 11, 2017, the Board approved the professional services contract to begin the
design phase.

212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of
proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the
8.A.1.c
Packet Pg. 21 Attachment: Infrastructure Surtax Statute (13221 : Validate Expenditures for Reallocation of Bridge Funding)
case of a negotiated joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and
construct infrastructure; to acquire any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or
protection of natural resources or to prevent or satisfy private property rights claims resulting
from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of critical state concern; to provide loans,
grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners who make energy efficiency
improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local government ordinance
authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of county-owned or
municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be closed by
order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may
not be used for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a
population of fewer than 75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or
interest for long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in
s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service
indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes, and for
bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To validate the expenditures for the design and construction of the New Chiller Plant - Building K;
to ensure that this project meets the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the definition of
Infrastructure, and is an eligible project in line with County Ordinance 2018-21 and the ballot
language within; to make a finding that the project expenditures are a valid use of Infrastructure
Sales Surtax Funding.
OBJECTIVE: To validate the proposed expenditures for the design and construction of the New Chiller
Plant - Building K.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Surtax began to be collected on January 1, 2019. Projects outlined in
County Ordinance 2018-21 are eligible to receive funding from the Surtax so long as the expenditure
occurred after January 1, 2019, the project meets the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the
definition of Infrastructure, and is in line with County Ordinance 2018-21. There were 3 main categories
of projects identified in Ordinance 2018-21 Transportation Projects, Facilities & Capital Replacements,
and Community Priorities.
The design and construction of the New Chiller Plant - Building K fulfills the definition of infrastructure
as outlined in F.S. 212.055, which defines Infrastructure as:
“Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction,
reconstruction, or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years,
any related land acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all ot her
professional and related costs required to bring the public facilities into service.”
The Chiller Plant, Building K, was constructed in 1987, expanded in 1993, and later renovated in both
2003 and 2007 and has had numerous mechanical upgrades over the years. This Chiller Plant is currently
the source for cooling in over 800,000 sf. of space throughout most of the main campus including the
following:
Human Resources B
Tax Collector / Procurement C1/C2
Risk Management / Jail Visitation D
Administrative Services F
Health Department H
Sheriffs Administration/Jail Building J1/J2 (via by-pass)
Jail Addition J3
Courthouse L
Annex L-1
Facilities Management W
These buildings represent over $240 million worth of Capital assets that service thousands of employees
and residents of Collier County daily.
Similar to the approved Surtax projects for the switchgear upgrade and the underground chilled water
replacement, the Chiller Plant - Building K is overdue for a complete redesign and replacement. This is
the next step in our Master MEP Plan for the Main Campus. While the past renovations and changes to
the Chiller Plant mechanical systems have been effective in the short term, they have only served as
stopgap measures. This has been primarily due to the limited funds available at the time.
The most recent outages and breakdowns are an indication of more problems to follow that we need to
8.B.1
Packet Pg. 35
09/02/2020
address now with a permanent solution. Recent repair and maintenance costs have exceeded $350,000 in
the past 6 months with an additional $400,000 pending. When required, Chiller rental cost alone can
exceed $60,000 per month.
The design and construction of the New Chiller Plant - Building K will provide the latest in mechanical
equipment and technology for the Main Campus with an additional 900-tons of capacity to meet the new
building loads, occupant demands, and future growth. In addition, this will provide cost -effective
solutions for safety, reliability, flexibility, and redundancy that is incumbent on a campus-wide Chiller
Plant. The estimated annual savings for operating the New Chiller Plant - Building K will exceed
$360,000 per year. Additionally, we are pursuing grant funding from FPL which is anticipated to be
more than $500,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Exhibit A identified up to $39M for HVAC, Roofing, and Capital Equipment
Replacements at Sheriff's & County facilities, the costs for Design & Construction are listed below.

projects and categories identified. The Committee shall not recommend alternative
projects, unless requested by the Board.
A copy of the ordinance, which contains the ballot language, is attached to this Executive Summary
for the Committee’s review.
In addition to the Ordinance, it is important that the Committee be comfortable that the proposed
expenditure comports with Florida Statute Sec. 212.055, which authorizes the local government
infrastructure sales surtax. That statute states, in relevant part as follows:
212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of proceeds
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.-
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be expended by
the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the case of a negotiated
joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and construct infrastructure; to acquire
any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or protection of natural resources or to prevent or
satisfy private property rights claims resulting from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of
critical state concern; to provide loans, grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners
who make energy efficiency improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local
government ordinance authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of

county-owned or municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be
closed by order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may not be used
for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a population of fewer than
75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or interest for long-term maintenance
costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in s. 125.011

-0199/0125/Sections/0125.011.html>, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest
to retire or service indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes,
and for bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.
1. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “infrastructure” means:
a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction, reconstruction,
or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years, any related land
acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other professional and related costs
required to bring the public facilities into service. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph, the term “public
facilities” means facilities as defined in s. 163.3164

governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, fire stations, general governmental office buildings,
and animal shelters, regardless of whether the facilities are owned by the local taxing authority or another
governmental entity.
A copy of the entire statute is included as back-up to this item.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed this item and believes that the request meets all the
requirements of both the Statute and the Ordinance. As an aside, only those items which satisfy the
requirements of both the Ordinance and the Statute will be brought to the Committee. The County
Attorney’s Office opinion, however, is not binding on the Committee, as the Board of County
Commissioners created this Committee “to provide for citizen review of the expenditure of the Surtax
proceeds by the County… (to) serve as an ad hoc advisory and reporting body to the County.” - CMG

Project History
o The Chiller Plant, Building K, was constructed in 1987, expanded in 1993, and later
renovated in both 2003 and 2007 and has had numerous mechanical upgrades over the
years. This Chiller Plant is currently the source for cooling in over 800,000 sf. of space
throughout most of the main campus including the following:
o These buildings represent over $240 million worth of Capital assets that service thousands of
employees and residents of Collier County daily.

Project History
o Similar to the approved and recently initiated Surtax Projects for the Campus Switchgear Upgrade and the Campus Underground Chilled Waterline Replacement, the Chiller Plant is overdue for a complete redesign and replacement. This is the next step in our Master MEP Plan for the Main Campus.
o While the past renovations and changes to the Chiller Plant mechanical systems have been effective in the short term, they have only served as stopgap measures. This has been primarily due to the limited funds available at the time.
o The most recent outages and breakdowns are an indication of more problems to follow that we need to address now with a permanent solution.
o Recent repair and maintenances costs have exceeded $350,000 in the past 6 months with an additional $400,000 pending. When required, Chiller rental cost alone can exceed $60,000 per month.

212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of
proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the
8.B.1.c
Packet Pg. 65 Attachment: Infrastructure Surtax Statute (13146 : New Chiller Plant - Building K)
case of a negotiated joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and
construct infrastructure; to acquire any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or
protection of natural resources or to prevent or satisfy private property rights claims resulting
from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of critical state concern; to provide loans,
grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners who make energy efficiency
improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local government ordinance
authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of county-owned or
municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be closed by
order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may
not be used for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a
population of fewer than 75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or
interest for long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in
s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service
indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes, and for
bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.
1. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “infrastructure” means:
a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction,
reconstruction, or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years,
any related land acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other
professional and related costs required to bring the public facilities into service. For purposes of
this sub-subparagraph, the term “public facilities” means facilities as defined in s. 163.3164(39),
s.163.3221(13), or s. 189.012(5), and includes facilities that are necessary to carry out
governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, fire stations, general governmental office
buildings, and animal shelters, regardless of whether the facilities are owned by the local taxing
authority or another governmental entity.
b. A fire department vehicle, an emergency medical service vehicle, a sheriff’s office
vehicle, a police department vehicle, or any other vehicle, and the equipment necessary to outfit
the vehicle for its official use or equipment that has a life expectancy of at least 5 years.
c. Any expenditure for the construction, lease, or maintenance of, or provision of utilities or
security for, facilities, as defined in s. 29.008.
d. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the improvement of
private facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years and that the owner agrees to make
available for use on a temporary basis as needed by a local government as a public emergency
shelter or a staging area for emergency response equipment during an emergency officially
declared by the state or by the local government under s. 252.38. Such improvements are limited
to those necessary to comply with current standards for public emergency evacuation shelters.
The owner must enter into a written contract with the local government providing the
improvement funding to make the private facility available to the public for purposes of
emergency shelter at no cost to the local government for a minimum of 10 years after completion
of the improvement, with the provision that the obligation will transfer to any subsequent owner
until the end of the minimum period.
e. Any land acquisition expenditure for a residential housing project in which at least 30
percent of the units are affordable to individuals or families whose total annual household
income does not exceed 120 percent of the area median income adjusted for household size, if
8.B.1.c
Packet Pg. 66 Attachment: Infrastructure Surtax Statute (13146 : New Chiller Plant - Building K)
the land is owned by a local government or by a special district that enters into a written
agreement with the local government to provide such housing. The local government or special
district may enter into a ground lease with a public or private person or entity for nominal or
other consideration for the construction of the residential housing project on land acquired
pursuant to this sub-subparagraph.
f. Instructional technology used solely in a school district’s classrooms. As used in this sub-

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To validate the expenditures for the design and construction of Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Station 74 in Golden Gate Estates; to ensure that this project meets the requirements of F.S.
212.055, conforms to the definition of Infrastructure, and is an eligible project in line with County
Ordinance 2018-21 and the ballot language within; to make a finding that the project expenditures
are a valid use of Infrastructure Sales Surtax Funding.
OBJECTIVE: To validate the proposed expenditures for the design and construction of EMS Station 74
in Golden Gate Estates.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Surtax began to be collected on January 1, 2019. Projects outlined in
County Ordinance 2018-21 are eligible to receive funding from the Surtax so long as the expenditure
occurred after January 1, 2019, the project meets the requirements of F.S. 212.055, conforms to the
definition of Infrastructure, and is in line with County Ordinance 2018-21. There were 3 main categories
of projects identified in Ordinance 2018-21 Transportation Projects, Facilities & Capital Replacements,
and Community Priorities.
The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Station 74 in Golden Gate Estates was specifically identified
within the Facilities & Capital Replacements category. Additionally, emergency services facilities were
included in the ballot language within Exhibit A of the ordinance.
The design and construction of EMS Station 74 in Golden Gate Estates project fulfills the definition of
infrastructure as outlined in F.S. 212.055, which defines Infrastructure as:
“Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction,
reconstruction, or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years,
any related land acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other
professional and related costs required to bring the public facilities into service.”
The design and construction of EMS Station 74 in Golden Gate Estates is included in Emergency Medical
Services Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) growth plan. The AUIR identified the need for a
new station at this location to address growth and development in the Golden Gate Estates area. For
every 16,900 increase in population, EMS adds a station to maintain the adopted level of service for the
County of 8 minutes or less in urban areas and 12 minutes or less in rural areas 90% of the time.
This new station located at the Southwest corner of Golden Gate Boulevard and Desoto Boulevard will be
a partnership between Collier County EMS, Greater Naples Fire District and the North Naples Fire
District in order to enhance each organizations ability to serve the residents in the Golden Gate Estates
area and improve coverage and response times through better coordination.
FISCAL IMPACT: Exhibit A identified up to $6M for the total EMS Expansion Plan project, the costs
for Design and Construction are actual and estimated below.
Design Construction Cost* Total
Phase I $300,000 $2,200,000 (estimate) $2,500,000
*Collier County Surtax Funded Portion
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney’s Office.
Ordinance No. 2018-21, the Collier County infrastructure surtax ordinance, created the Infrastructure

Packet Pg. 74
09/02/2020
Surtax Citizen Oversight Committee, whose duties are as follows:
Duties. The Committee shall have the responsibility to review the expenditure of Surtax
proceeds against the ballot referendum approved by the voters and this Ordinance. The
Board may expend proceeds of the Surtax on projects not specifically stated herein or in
the attached Exhibit A, so long as those projects (1) comply with the intent of the ballot
language, (2) have a positive recommendation by this Committee, and (3) fall within the
projects and categories identified. The Committee shall not recommend alternative
projects, unless requested by the Board.
A copy of the ordinance, which contains the ballot language, is attached to this Executive Summary
for the Committee’s review.
In addition to the Ordinance, it is important that the Committee be comfortable that the proposed
expenditure comports with Florida Statute Sec. 212.055, which authorizes the local government
infrastructure sales surtax. That statute states, in relevant part as follows:
212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of proceeds
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.-
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be expended by
the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the case of a negotiated
joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and construct infrastructure; to acquire
any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or protection of natural resources or to prevent or
satisfy private property rights claims resulting from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of
critical state concern; to provide loans, grants, or rebates to residential or comm ercial property owners
who make energy efficiency improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local
government ordinance authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of
county-owned or municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be
closed by order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may not be used
for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a population of fewer than
75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or interest for long-term maintenance
costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in s. 125.011
<http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100
-0199/0125/Sections/0125.011.html>, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest
to retire or service indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes,
and for bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.
1. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “infrastructure” means:
a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction, reconstruction,
or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years, any related land
acquisition, land improvement, design, and engineering costs, and all other professional and related costs
required to bring the public facilities into service. For purposes of this sub-subparagraph, the term “public
facilities” means facilities as defined in s. 163.3164

governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, fire stations, general governmental office buildings,
and animal shelters, regardless of whether the facilities are owned by the local taxing authority or another
governmental entity.
A copy of the entire statute is included as back-up to this item.
The County Attorney’s Office has reviewed this item and believes that the request meets all the
requirements of both the Statute and the Ordinance. As an aside, only those items which satisfy the
requirements of both the Ordinance and the Statute will be brought to the Committee. The County
Attorney’s Office opinion, however, is not binding on the Committee, as the Board of County
Commissioners created this Committee “to provide for citizen review of the expenditure of the Surtax
proceeds by the County… (to) serve as an ad hoc advisory and reporting body to the County.” - CMG

proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the
8.B.2.c
Packet Pg. 93 Attachment: Infrastructure Surtax Statute (13155 : EMS Station 74 Golden Gate Estates)
case of a negotiated joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and
construct infrastructure; to acquire any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or
protection of natural resources or to prevent or satisfy private property rights claims resulting
from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of critical state concern; to provide loans,
grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners who make energy efficiency
improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local government ordinance
authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of county-owned or
municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be closed by
order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may
not be used for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a
population of fewer than 75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or
interest for long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in
s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service
indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes, and for
bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.

212.055 Discretionary sales surtaxes; legislative intent; authorization and use of
proceeds.—It is the legislative intent that any authorization for imposition of a discretionary
sales surtax shall be published in the Florida Statutes as a subsection of this section, irrespective
of the duration of the levy. Each enactment shall specify the types of counties authorized to levy;
the rate or rates which may be imposed; the maximum length of time the surtax may be imposed,
if any; the procedure which must be followed to secure voter approval, if required; the purpose
for which the proceeds may be expended; and such other requirements as the Legislature may
provide. Taxable transactions and administrative procedures shall be as provided in s. 212.054.
(2) LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE SURTAX.—
(a)1. The governing authority in each county may levy a discretionary sales surtax of 0.5
percent or 1 percent. The levy of the surtax shall be pursuant to ordinance enacted by a majority
of the members of the county governing authority and approved by a majority of the electors of
the county voting in a referendum on the surtax. If the governing bodies of the municipalities
representing a majority of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions establishing the rate
of the surtax and calling for a referendum on the surtax, the levy of the surtax shall be placed on
the ballot and shall take effect if approved by a majority of the electors of the county voting in
the referendum on the surtax.
2. If the surtax was levied pursuant to a referendum held before July 1, 1993, the surtax may
not be levied beyond the time established in the ordinance, or, if the ordinance did not limit the
period of the levy, the surtax may not be levied for more than 15 years. The levy of such surtax
may be extended only by approval of a majority of the electors of the county voting in a
referendum on the surtax.
(b) A statement which includes a brief general description of the projects to be funded by the
surtax and which conforms to the requirements of s. 101.161 shall be placed on the ballot by the
governing authority of any county which enacts an ordinance calling for a referendum on the
levy of the surtax or in which the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority
of the county’s population adopt uniform resolutions calling for a referendum on the surtax. The
following question shall be placed on the ballot:
FOR the -cent sales tax
AGAINST the -cent sales tax
(c) Pursuant to s. 212.054(4), the proceeds of the surtax levied under this subsection shall be
distributed to the county and the municipalities within such county in which the surtax was
collected, according to:
1. An interlocal agreement between the county governing authority and the governing bodies
of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal population, which
agreement may include a school district with the consent of the county governing authority and
the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the county’s municipal
population; or
2. If there is no interlocal agreement, according to the formula provided in s. 218.62.
Any change in the distribution formula must take effect on the first day of any month that begins
at least 60 days after written notification of that change has been made to the department.
(d) The proceeds of the surtax authorized by this subsection and any accrued interest shall be
expended by the school district, within the county and municipalities within the county, or, in the
9.A.1
Packet Pg. 113 Attachment: Infrastructure Surtax Statute (13197 : Committee Support Documents)
case of a negotiated joint county agreement, within another county, to finance, plan, and
construct infrastructure; to acquire any interest in land for public recreation, conservation, or
protection of natural resources or to prevent or satisfy private property rights claims resulting
from limitations imposed by the designation of an area of critical state concern; to provide loans,
grants, or rebates to residential or commercial property owners who make energy efficiency
improvements to their residential or commercial property, if a local government ordinance
authorizing such use is approved by referendum; or to finance the closure of county-owned or
municipally owned solid waste landfills that have been closed or are required to be closed by
order of the Department of Environmental Protection. Any use of the proceeds or interest for
purposes of landfill closure before July 1, 1993, is ratified. The proceeds and any interest may
not be used for the operational expenses of infrastructure, except that a county that has a
population of fewer than 75,000 and that is required to close a landfill may use the proceeds or
interest for long-term maintenance costs associated with landfill closure. Counties, as defined in
s. 125.011, and charter counties may, in addition, use the proceeds or interest to retire or service
indebtedness incurred for bonds issued before July 1, 1987, for infrastructure purposes, and for
bonds subsequently issued to refund such bonds. Any use of the proceeds or interest for purposes
of retiring or servicing indebtedness incurred for refunding bonds before July 1, 1999, is ratified.

a. Any fixed capital expenditure or fixed capital outlay associated with the construction,
reconstruction, or improvement of public facilities that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years,

authority or another governmental entity.
b. A fire department vehicle, an emergency medical service vehicle, a sheriff’s office
vehicle, a police department vehicle, or any other vehicle, and the equipment necessary to outfit

available for use on a temporary basis as needed by a local government as a public emergency
shelter or a staging area for emergency response equipment during an emergency officially
declared by the state or by the local government under s. 252.38. Such improvements are limited
to those necessary to comply with current standards for public emergency evacuation shelters.
The owner must enter into a written contract with the local government providing the
improvement funding to make the private facility available to the public for purposes of
emergency shelter at no cost to the local government for a minimum of 10 years after completion
of the improvement, with the provision that the obligation will transfer to any subsequent owner
until the end of the minimum period.

district may enter into a ground lease with a public or private person or entity for nominal or
other consideration for the construction of the residential housing project on land acquired
pursuant to this sub-subparagraph.
f. Instructional technology used solely in a school district’s classrooms. As used in this sub-
subparagraph, the term “instructional technology” means an interactive device that assists a
teacher in instructing a class or a group of students and includes the necessary hardware and
software to operate the interactive device. The term also includes support systems in which an
interactive device may mount and is not required to be affixed to the facilities.
2. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “energy efficiency improvement” means any
energy conservation and efficiency improvement that reduces consumption through conservation
or a more efficient use of electricity, natural gas, propane, or other forms of energy on the

surtax imposed or extended after July 1, 1998, may allocate up to 15 percent of the surtax
proceeds for deposit into a trust fund within the county’s accounts created for the purpose of
funding economic development projects having a general public purpose of improving local
economies, including the funding of operational costs and incentives related to economic
development. The ballot statement must indicate the intention to make an allocation under the
authority of this subparagraph.
(e) School districts, counties, and municipalities receiving proceeds under the provisions of
this subsection may pledge such proceeds for the purpose of servicing new bond indebtedness
incurred pursuant to law. Local governments may use the services of the Division of Bond

chapter 163; and
c. The county has adopted an amendment to the surtax ordinance pursuant to the procedure

infrastructure if the county adopts an ordinance providing for such continued use of the surtax
proceeds.
