Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #16D11 (Farm City BBQ 2021 at Roberts Ranch)07/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to waive the Board-approved rental fee to allow the Immokalee Pioneer Museum
at Roberts Ranch to host the Farm City BBQ 2021 at no cost to Farm City BBQ of Collier County,
Inc.
OBJECTIVE: To support an important and long-standing charitable community event to the fullest
extent possible and expose new visitors to one of the County’s five (5) museum locations.
CONSIDERATIONS: The third (3rd) week of November is National Farm-City Week, a time set aside to
recognize and honor the contributions of the country’s agriculturalists and to strengthen the bond between
urban and rural citizens. In Collier County, the high point of Farm -City Week is the annual Farm City
BBQ, presented by Farm City BBQ of Collier County, Inc., local business, and agricultural leaders.
Proceeds from the Farm City BBQ benefit local youth leadership development programs through the
Collier County 4H Association, Youth Leadership Collier, Collier County Junior Deputies League, and
Collier County Key Clubs. 2021 will be the sixty-fifth (65th) year of the Collier County Farm City BBQ.
Traditionally, the Farm City BBQ is held in the urban area, then the Immokalee area, in alternating years.
Farm City BBQ of Collier County, Inc. has expressed interested in having the Immokalee Pioneer
Museum at Roberts Ranch host the event for 2021. The Board-approved Museum Fee Policy (Resolution
2018-02 adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on 2-13-18, Agenda Item #16D12)
stipulates a $3000 rental fee for full-day use of Roberts Ranch for a festival-type event. In consideration
of the enormous good the event does for the community, and the positive exposure for Roberts Ranch in
hosting it, staff requests that the Board waive the rental fee and allow Farm City BBQ of Collier County,
Inc. to use the facility free of charge.
Farm City BBQ of Collier County, Inc. has executed a modified version of the Board-approved Collier
County Museum Facilities Rental Agreement with all fee-associated language stricken. All other
requirements and regulations of the Agreement, such as the renter’s responsibility for security, crowd
control, parking, provision of additional rest room facilities, and post-event clean-up, will apply. The
Board has authorized the County Manager or his designee to execute rental agreements.
FISCAL IMPACT: Rental revenue in the amount of $4000 is proposed in various cost centers in the
Museums budget for FY22. Those estimates are exclusive of this event, which had not yet been scheduled
when budgets were prepared. This action waives $3000 of rental fees that otherwise would be assessed
but are not contemplated in the FY22 budget.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
item.
RECOMMENDATION: To waive the Board-approved rental fee to allow the Immokalee Pioneer
Museum at Roberts Ranch to host the Farm City BBQ 2021 at no cost to Farm City BBQ of Collier
County, Inc.
