EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a 5-year renewal of an agreement with the Conservancy of Southwest
Florida allowing it to continue to provide environmental education programs at Collier County
managed and operated beach park facilities. (General Fund 001)
OBJECTIVE: To provide for and enhance the visitor experience at Collier County beach park facilities
by entering into an agreement with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in order to provide
environmental education programs to park visitors.
CONSIDERATIONS: On January 24, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) entered into a
5-year agreement with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. The agreement has worked well for the
county, and both parties find it advantageous to renew the agreement. The agreement permits the renewal
of the agreement for a single additional 5-year term. Either party may terminate without cause by
providing written notice thirty days in advance of termination.
The Parks and Recreation Division and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida have determined and
mutually agree that it is economically advantageous and in the best interest of the public to continue to
deliver high quality, best-value, public services, programs, and facilities. The proposed agreement
memorializes the arrangement.
The agreement requires that the Conservancy provide the County Manager or his designee with an annual
schedule of the programs it proposes to conduct at the County park facilities. The schedule for each
calendar year shall be provided on or before the prior October 1 for review and approval by the County
Manager or his designee. Any licensing, permitting, or other fees for any activities, events, and/or the
programs shall be paid by the Conservancy.
The agreement also requires fees and charges, including beach parking fees, for the public participating in
the Conservancy sponsored programs at the County park facilities to be in accordance with the Collier
County Parks and Recreation Department Facilities and Outdoor Areas License and Fee Policy
Resolution No. 2021-263 or as it may be amended (which is the successor Fee Policy to Resolution 2015-
240 referenced in the original agreement). Participants will pay the $10 parking fee or present a County
beach parking permit on their vehicle.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no significant fiscal impact associated with this item. Fees collected in
accordance with Resolution No. 2021-263 will be deposited within the appropriate Parks Division cost
center within General Fund (001).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a 5-year renewal of an Agreement with the Conservancy of
Southwest Florida to provide programs at Collier County managed and operated beach park facilities.
