Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #16D10 (2022-2024 Urban County Cooperation Agreement w/City of Naples)07/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the 2022-2024 Urban County Cooperation Agreement with the City of
Naples, authorize the chairperson to sign the associated agreement and resolution, and authorize
staff to forward the supporting documentation to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
OBJECTIVE: To re-certify Collier County as an Urban Entitlement County, including facilitating
cooperation between the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and the City of Naples in the
administration and implementation of an Urban County Cooperation agreement for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County, along with the participating cities, Naples, Marco Island, and
Everglades City became eligible to receive federal CDBG entitlement funds annually through an Urban
County Cooperation Agreement adopted by all jurisdictions in September 2000. By Statutes, 24 CFR
570.307(d), the County is required to requalify and adopt a Cooperation Agreement every three (3) years
with each participating municipality. The County is required to submit all required documents by July 31st
to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Participating jurisdictions may benefit from this optional partnership, established for the administration of
the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG program, in that they receive grant funds for use in
their jurisdiction and the County provides the required administrative and compliance functions on their
behalf.
As required for each tri-annual Urban County re-qualification, Collier County staff contacted the Cities of
Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades requesting confirmation of their decision concerning participating
in the Urban County Cooperation agreement. County staff was notified on May 18, 2021, that the City of
Marco Island was declining participation and on May 27, 2021 staff was notified by Everglades City of
their decision to not participate. Each jurisdiction may choose to receive their own award if entitled,
and/or participate in the small cities program and apply through the Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity individually. Since two (2) cities chose to decline participation, no CDBG or HOME funds
may be allocated in the cities to assist with any projects.
At the regular Naples City Council meeting of May 19, 2021, the City of Naples authorized staff to
submit a letter of intent to participate in the HUD Urban County requalification process. City Council
authorized the Urban County Cooperative Agreement for FY 2022-2024 at the June 2, 2021, notified
public meeting. The adopted Resolution and Urban County Cooperation Agreement with Collier County
are attached.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no Fiscal impact associated with this action. Collier County receives
approximately $2.7 million in CDBG entitlement funds each year. The City of Naples allocation is
approximately $100,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The activities associated with this Urban County agreement(s)
are consistent with the Housing Element of the Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: To Approve the 2022-2024 Urban County Cooperation Agreement with the
