requirements.Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary,written acceptance of a particular deliverable
does not foreclose Department's remedies in the event deficiencies in the deliverable cannot be readily measured at
the time of delivery.
6. Acceptance of Deliverables.
a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by Department's Grant Manager
before payment.The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that remain

deliverables within 30 days of receipt,they will be deemed rejected.
b. Rejection of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables,as outlined in the Grant
Work Plan,as incomplete,inadequate,or unacceptable due,in whole or in part,to Grantee's lack of satisfactory
performance under the terms of this Agreement.The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will
be at Grantee's sole expense.Failure to fulfill the applicable technical requirements or complete all tasks or
activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in rejection of the deliverable and the associated

acceptable to Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department,at its option,may
allow additional time within which Grantee may remedy the objections noted by Department.The Grantee's

Special Terms and Conditions,the State of Florida(State)reserves the right to withhold payment when the

this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.

commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department
does not relieve Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement.In the event the CAP fails
!' to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, Department shall retain the right to
require additional or further remedial steps,or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Grantee shall preclude Department from

INTRODUCTION
This document was produced based on prior Board direction, legislative and project needs
identified by County staff in support of Board-approved programs and projects, ongoing or
unresolved legislative and administrative issues from 2020,and legislative priorities shared with
the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) and the National Association of Counties (NACo).
Our state and federal contract lobbyists provide valuable input throughout this process and
work very hard to continually identify and monitor legislative trends,issues,administrative
activity, and funding opportunities throughout the year.
Once reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners,
the County's legislative and administrative priorities guide all advocacy efforts in Tallahassee,
FL,and Washington, DC,for the upcoming year.

PRIORITIES: LEGISLATIVE & ADMINISTRATIVE
ADA Website Compliance Safe Harbor
Summary: Local governments across the country have seen a wave of lawsuits filed by
plaintiffs'attorneys regarding website compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). Due to the amount of information required to be posted to local governmental websites
to comply with various state and local transparency provisions, it is doubtful that any local
governmental website is fully compliant with the ADA.
Action: (FEDERAL)—In 2018,the House of Representatives passed the ADA Education and
Reform Act of 2017 that,in Title Ill-Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities,would
have required prospective plaintiffs to provide written notice of noncompliance to places of
public accommodation that operate public websites prior to filing a lawsuit. The company
would have then had a 60-day safe harbor to come up with a plan to address the plaintiff's
concern and 120 days to make"substantial progress"toward rectifying it. The bill passed the
House on a split vote but died in the Senate. NACo and the Florida League of Cities have
previously coalesced around the issue regarding local governmental website compliance with
the ADA. New,similar legislation to the Reform Act of 2017 is needed under Title II—State&
Local Governments for an adequate safe harbor or cure period from legal action while working
to comply with the ADA website provisions.
CDBG-MIT—Paradise Coast Sports Complex Field House
Summary: In September,the Countyapplied to the State Department of Economic Opportunity
Y� P PP P PP Y
(DEO)for$11 million in Community Development Block Grant—Mitigation(CDBG-MIT)funds for
the hardening of the planned Paradise Coast Sports Complex field house. If awarded,these
funds would provide a structure that could accommodate over 800 individuals with special
needs and/or general population during a storm event and provide electrical power for special
medical equipment and food service during a disaster.
Action: (STATE)—Engage DEO and the legislative delegation on the local and regional need of
this shelter facilitation project,its ability to serve a significant portion of the special needs
population, and the Complex's overall ability to serve as a regional shelter during evacuation
events, provide a continuity of operations center, and serve as a staging area for community
response after a major storm.

County Funding Streams
Summary: Full funding of grants and continued appropriations for programs or funds applicable
to Collier County,including but not limited to,Payment in Lieu of Taxes(PILT),Community
Development Block Grant(CDBG),Home Investment Partnerships Program(HOME), Institute
of Museum and Library Services(IMLS),Airport Improvement Program(AIP), Emergency
Management Performance Grants(EMPG),Stafford Act,Fire Management Assistance Grant
Program(FMAGP),Rainy Day Fund, Local Housing Trust Fund,Sadowski Act-funded programs
including the State Housing Initiatives Partnership(SHIP)and State Apartment Incentive Loan
(SAIL)Program,the Land Acquisition Trust Fund(LATF),and the Rural Development Grant
Program.
Action: (STATE/FEDERAL)—Advocate for full funding of grants and continued appropriations
for programs or funds applicable to Collier County and oppose state or federal actions that
would utilize moneys for other purposes than originally intended.
COVID-19 & Economic Recovery
Summary: COVID-19 has negatively impacted every sector of the economy. Ongoing expenses
incurred in returning to some sense of normalcy,coupled with loss of income and revenues by
residents, businesses,and governments will reverberate over the next year or more. Federal
and state legislative bodies and executive agencies will be prompted to make tough financial
and policy decisions to rebuild a robust economy while continuing to provide a safety net for
those businesses and individuals still struggling to manage the fiscal ramifications of a pandemic.
is
Action: (STATE/FEDERAL)—Advocate for fiscally prudent policies that will act as a stimulus to
the economy,facilitate growth,and provide programs and services for businesses and
individuals with a demonstrated need for continued assistance.
Emergency Shelter Registration Lists—Public Records Exemption
Summary: Counties are taking more responsibility for operating emergency shelters from the
Red Cross.Where registration information,as gathered by the Red Cross,remains confidential,
county registration and other disaster-related forms and software that may contain personal
information may be subject to Florida public records laws. Hesitance to have their personal
information made public might dissuade some from seeking shelter in an emergency and
needlessly put first responders and others in jeopardy. The information gleaned from a
sweeping records request could place residents in a vulnerable state by providing unscrupulous
individuals and businesses with addresses of evacuated properties and damage assessment
information.
Action: (STATE)—As part of their 2021 agency package,the Florida Department of Emergency
Management(FDEM)intends to seek a public records exemption for the name,address, and
Wage
16A19
phone number of persons staying at a public shelter. This bill was previously pushed by Collier
and Palm Beach Counties with the support of FAC and the Florida Emergency Preparedness
Association. Due to sponsorship issues,this legislation has passed each chamber in previous
years,but not both houses during the same legislative session.
FEMA Remapping
Summary: Expedited approval by FEMA is needed for Collier County flood remapping which is
five years behind schedule.Two-thirds of Collier's population is represented by outdated maps.
Of the two Physical Map Revisions(PMR)pending completion for this update,PMR-1 is nearly
completed and the mapping for PMR-2 is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The
preliminary maps for the Southwest Florida Coastal Study were released by FEMA on December
31,2019. PMR-1 and PMR-2 will be merging with this study to complete a final product.
Action: (FEDERAL)—Engage agency officials and the congressional delegation to prompt FEMA
approval of the County's flood remapping. Continue to support increases in funding for the
Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program.
Hurricane Irma Closeout
Summary: Since Hurricane Irma battered Collier County in September of 2017,efforts in
tallying,documenting,and processing all eligible recovery projects for reimbursement through
the Florida Department of Emergency Management(FDEM)to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency(FEMA)have been ongoing. Recently,the Government Affairs team was
able to solicit congressional assistance in obtaining an eligible project extension period from
FEMA for debris removal operations conducted through December 31,2018. This extension
approval had been lodged between FDEM and FEMA Region IV since the original County request
in September of 2019. This extension will allow for over$6 million in additional reimbursement.
Action: (STATE/FEDERAL)—Assist County departments in obtaining administrative approval of
remaining project worksheets to close out Hurricane Irma and,as necessary,engage the
congressional delegation to expedite FEMA obligation of funds.
Immokalee Readiness Center
Summary: In 2007,the Florida Army National Guard proposed the construction of a military
Readiness Center on 26 acres of land at the Immokalee Regional Airport(IMM). In 2009,the
BCC approved a 25-year lease agreement with the National Guard. However,due to the
economic downturn and change of presidential administrations,the lease was voided as
construction did not commence in accordance with the performance milestones outlined in the
lease. In 2018,after discussions with Airport Authority staff,the National Guard included the
Readiness Center in its Long Range Construction Plan,subject to congressional appropriation. It
is currently in the top six projects for the Guard with the potential to be accelerated given the
Guard's updated plan to station a special supports battalion at 1MM.
7IPage
16A19
During a fall 2019 meeting on Capitol Hill with Congressman Diaz-Balart and representatives of
the Army,commissioners were informed that IMM was ranked#2(behind Gainesville)for
funding on the Army's Unfunded Requirements List(URL),a list annually compiled from states'
Adjutants General recommendations and funded by Congress outside of the agency's standard
budget request. Gainesville was not selected for funding this year,so Florida's base rankings
remain as previously set. The URL runs concurrent with the annual military construction
(MILCON)budget. A project can be included for funding consideration via one,or both,
documents.
Action: (FEDERAL)—Work with both the Army National Guard and the congressional delegation
to accelerate the Readiness Center on the Long Range Construction Plan and ensure adequate
appropriation for its construction at the earliest opportunity.
Interstate 75/SR 951 Interchange Construction Acceleration
Summary: initially,the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had included the I-75/SR
951 interchange in its Five Year Work Program with a scheduled construction date of FY 20/21.
Knowing this critical transportation infrastructure project was forthcoming,over the last few
years,the Board of County Commissioners approved many development projects for the area,
including warehouse distribution businesses that will generate considerable commercial traffic.
The Board also approved millions of dollars in utility relocations early and in anticipation of this
project. This interchange is also a primary access route for tourists and residents of Marco
island. The latest FDOT Work Program currently doesn't provide for construction to begin until
FY 24/25.
Action: (STATE)—Facilitate collaboration between the County,FDOT,and the legislative
delegation to develop a plan to finance and accelerate the delayed improvements to the I-75/SR
951 interchange to accommodate the rapid growth and development of the area.
Long-Term,Transparent National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Reauthorization
Summary: To seek the long-term reauthorization of the NFIP to provide housing market
stability while ensuring transparency and fairness in rate setting.
Action: (FEDERAL)—Support legislation that provides for a minimum five-year reauthorization,
freezes interest payments on NFIP debt,provides low interest loans for homeowner mitigation
projects,and provides additional funding for current mitigation assistance grant programs.
RESTORE Act Debt Financing
Summary: To pass legislation authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to use debt instruments,
as part of the RESTORE Act,to be financed by$20 billion in BP Oil civil penalties,providing more
li

16A 1 9
immediate access to moneys for restoration and program/project improvements that would
otherwise take years to accumulate. Collier County is one of 15"non-disproportionately"
affected counties eligible for project grants under RESTORE.
Action: (FEDERAL)—Continue to advocate for debt financing legislation during the 117th
Congress that mirrors HR 2923,co-sponsored during the 115th Congress by Rep. Diaz-Balart.
Septic-to-Sewer Grant Program Creation and Recurring Funding
Summary: Aging septic tank systems and their leaching of effluent are a threat to waterways,
the habitats they sustain,and our drinking water quality. Even when conducted in phases,
sanitary sewer construction and connection projects are expensive whether it be a densely
populated area or a small and/or rural community with fiscal limitations. Residents often incur
costly assessments to cover transition to a sanitary sewer system. The Clean Waterways Act of
2020 created a septic-to-sewer grant program-subject to appropriation by the Legislature-that
requires a 50%local match that may be waived by DEP only for rural areas of opportunity. An
annually funded,low-or-no local match septic-to-sewer conversion grant program is needed to
expeditiously connect residents to sanitary sewer systems and facilitate proper abandonment of
the septic tank.
Action: (STATE)—Advocacy for creation of a septic-to-sewer grant program with a dedicated,
recurring funding source and applicable to planning,design,construction,and connection costs
associated with conversion.
State Veterans' Nursing Home
Summary: Though Collier County was ranked at the top of a needs-based study for the
construction of a new State Veterans'Nursing Home, at the conclusion of the 2014 site
evaluation process,St. Lucie County was ultimately awarded the new facility. The Florida
Department of Veterans'Affairs(FDVA)has commented to the Legislature that the State is still a
few years from accumulation of funds necessary for the 35%mandated state construction
match to qualify for federal consideration to be the next new State Veterans'Nursing Home.
During the last three legislative sessions,commissioners have met with FDVA to keep them
apprised of the County's progress in raising the 35%construction match and acquisition of the
Golden Gate Golf Course property as a potential location for the facility. This past spring,FDVA
made a commitment to visit and evaluate the property once COVID-19 has subsided.
Action: (STATE/FEDERAL)—Using a portion of the temporary one-cent sales tax revenues as a
funding stream for the local construction match,and with the recent acquisition of the Golden
Gate Golf Course property serving as a potential location,staff will continue to work with the
Florida Department of Veterans'Affairs and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on next
steps for securing a State Veterans'Nursing Home for Collier County.

Strategic Intermodal System Long Range Cost Feasible Plan
Summary: Currently,the 2018 Edition of the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT)
Strategic lntermodal System Long Range Cost Feasible Plan for FY 2029-2045 does not provide
for any construction of capacity improvements for 1-75 or SR 29 in Collier County. The Systems
Implementation Office updates the SIS CFP every 3 to 5 years to adjust the planning horizon
consistent with the long-range planning needs of FDOT and MPOs throughout the state.
Action: (STATE)—Work with FDOT District 1 representatives,applicable adjacent counties and
coalitions,and local legislative delegation members to encourage an FDOT update to the Long
Range Cost Feasible Plan that incorporates capacity improvements for 1-75 and SR 29 in Collier
County.
Water Quality and Quantity Management
Summary: Local water,wastewater,and stormwater system water quality improvement
projects support the protection of our drinking water supply as well as our natural environment
and fragile ecosystem. Counties/communities under 500,000 in population often have
budgetary constraints that prevent them from covering the total costs for many needed
improvements to aging water,wastewater,and stormwater system infrastructure.
Action: (STATE/FEDERAL)—Support water quality and quantity management programs,
including tiered,population-driven funding opportunities for water and public utility
infrastructure(including fire hydrant systems),funding and incentives for stormwater system
rehabilitation and measurable water quality enhancement,funding for technical and scientific
studies to support water quality improvements,and continued funding of opportunities that
reduce resident cost in moving from well water to potable water systems.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS PROJECT REQUESTS
Golden Gate Senior Center Construction/Expansion
Summary: This project request would provide for the architectural and engineering design for
construction and expansion of the Golden Gate Senior Center to better serve community
seniors. Increased building size would allow for better organization of programs and activities
and would provide much needed meeting rooms and office space to help address client needs.
Future hardening of the Senior Center could provide safe,community sheltering and convenient
access to aid during and after natural disasters and other large-scale emergencies.
Action: (STATE)—Request$250,000 in State appropriations for the design of the Golden Gate
( Senior Center Construction/Expansion. (A local match of$250,000 is available for this project.)
Lake Park Boulevard Capital Improvements and Water Quality Flowway
Summary: This project is the first critical step to master plan a multi-million-dollar series of
infrastructure projects including septic-to-sewer,stormwater system rehabilitation, roadway
improvements,and other site improvements to promote functionality, health,and safety. This
area is adjacent to Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve,making water quality
improvements a high priority. This area also serves a population that is highly burdened by
housing costs.
Action: (STATE)—Request$250,000 In State appropriations for the Lake Park Boulevard Capital
Improvements and Water Quality Flowway. (A local match of$250,000 is available for this
project.)
