Agenda 03/22/2022 Item #11B (FY22 Budget Amendments for Parks & Rec)03/22/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve FY 2022 Budget Amendments to re-allocate Parks Capital Fund (306)
dollars from projects which are either finished with residual budget or can be deferred and funded
in FY 2023, in an amount up to $1,700,000, to Parks operating accounts for necessary community
park maintenance and aesthetic improvements, plus ensure that sufficient dollars exist to fund
seasonal summer camp staff.
OBJECTIVE: To provide additional funding for park maintenance and equipment replacements at the
County’s sixty-four (64) Community and Neighborhood Parks as well as to increase funding for seasonal
operations.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Parks and Recreation Division is responsible for managing
and maintaining sixty-four (64) community and neighborhood parks throughout Collier County. These
parks represent a tremendous asset for the County, creating recreational areas and park settings that
contribute greatly to the quality of life for our residents and their children. This item represents
continuation and acceleration of a program initiated by the Board through senior county leadership to
complete a backlog of maintenance work, equipment replacements, and property improvements which
will enhance these recreation assets.
During the last quarter of FY 2021 and the first two-quarters of FY 2022, there has been a tremendous
amount of work completed to rejuvenate and retrofit Collier County Parks systems. This work included
the completion of over 2,500 work orders that provided for the following: replacement of sidewalks, park
features, signs, fences, docks, and equipment, as well as resurfacing of basketball, tennis, and pickleball
courts. Additionally, staff has worked to replace playground equipment, paint buildings, retrofit
restrooms, and the installation of new sod for soccer and ball fields in the County’s park systems.
Additional funding is necessary to complete this mission and to sustain park activities through FY 2022.
These funds will be allocated to help support and maintain the following parks: Eagle Lakes Community
Park, Golden Gate Community Park, Immokalee Community Park, Max Hasse Community Park, and
Vineyards Community Park, as well as neighborhood parks such as Isles of Capri Park, Naples Manor
Park, and many others. Expenses over the next two quarters include.
• $400,000 Mulch, fertilizers, herbicides, pool chemicals, and required landscaping
• $300,000 Maintenance and repairs on the facilities, sprinkler systems, courts and field
repairs, fencing, and playgrounds
• $300,000 Sod maintenance for athletic fields (required)
• $200,000 Maintenance funding to support the Pickleball tournament
• $100,000 Contractual Services for fumigation for ballfields, injection for ballfields, additional
mowing services due to lack of staff, aquatic services, and electrical contractors
• $100,000 Minor Operating Equipment and Other Operating Supplies for maintenance
• $50,000 Vineyard Community Park tree trimming
Funds will also be earmarked to support lifeguards, camp counselors, and other seasonal workers utilized
to serve over 2,000 children and their families during the summer camp and aquatics programs.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Amendments are required to transfer funds from Parks Capital Fund (306) to
Parks Operating in Fund (111) in the amount of up to $1,700,000 from projects which are either finished
with residual budget or can be deferred and funded in FY 2023.
