Agenda 09/13/2022 Item #16A35 (FDEP Resilient Florida Planning Grant Application)09/13/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to provide after-the-fact approval for the submittal of a Resilient Florida Program Planning Grant application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in the amount of $46,700 for a vulnerability assessment study of the unincorporated jurisdictional boundaries of Collier County and designate the County Manager or designee as the Authorized Official to submit and execute required grant documents. OBJECTIVE: To receive after-the-fact approval from the Board of County Commissioners to approve the application for a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Resilient Florida Program Planning grant for Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment study of the unincorporated jurisdictional boundaries of the County. CONSIDERATIONS: The FDEP’s Resilient Florida Program includes a selection of grants that are available to counties, municipalities, water management districts, flood control districts and regional resilience entities. To effectively address the impacts of flooding and sea level rise that the State faces, eligible applicants may receive funding assistance to analyze and plan for vulnerabilities, as well as implement projects for adaptation and mitigation. Local governments are eligible to apply for implementation project funding after conducting a vulnerability assessment, evaluation, report, or other similar document that demonstrates a risk of flooding or risks due to sea level rise to a critical asset or the project area. On July 8th, 2022, FDEP announced the re-opening of Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Resilient Florida Program Planning grant applications for comprehensive vulnerability assessments that meet the requirements of Florida Statutes section 380.093. Vulnerability assessments are comprised of measuring the impact of sea level rise and identifying the people, infrastructure, and land uses that may be affected. By using publicly available and reliable data, it is possible to identify the areas that are vulnerable to current and future sea level rise and related flooding. This application and award are anticipated to be managed within an electronic grants management system that requires an Authorized Official to be designated to perform submittals and execution within this system. The County Manager or designee is requesting to be designated by the Board as the Authorized Official to submit and execute required grant documents. The Resilient Florida Program Planning grant application period reopened on July 1, 2022 and closes on September 1, 2022. Due to the abbreviated time period to comply with the application date, staff secured the County Manager’s approval to submit the grant application as it is contemplated in CMA 5330 and is seeking Board approval after the fact. Collier County CMA #5330 authorizes the County Manager to approve the submittal of grant applications with subsequent Board of County Commissioner action at the next available Board meeting to ratify the approval as “after-the-fact”. FISCAL IMPACT: At this time, there is no Fiscal impact associated with this Item. If the grant is awarded, an agreement and Budget Amendment will be brought to the Board at a future Board meeting to recognize grant funds in the amount of $46,700. There is no match required for this grant program. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this action. 16.A.35 Packet Pg. 1219 09/13/2022 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. -DDP RECOMMENDATION: To provide after-the-fact approval for the submittal of a Resilient Florida Program Planning Grant application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in the amount of $46,700 for a vulnerability assessment study of the unincorporated jurisdictional bounda ries of Collier County and designate the County Manager or designee as the Authorized Official to submit and execute required grant documents.

Such adverse impacts pose economic, social, environmental, and public health and safety challenges to the state. To most effectively address these challenges, funding should be allocated in a manner that prioritizes addressing the most significant risks. (b) The Legislature further recognizes that the adverse impacts of flooding and sea level rise affect coastal and inland communities all across the state. Consequently, a coordinated approach is necessary to maximize the benefit of efforts to address such impacts and to improve the state’s resilience to flooding and sea level rise. (c) The Legislature further recognizes that to effectively and efficiently address and prepare for the adverse impacts of flooding and sea level rise in the state, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive statewide assessment of the specific risks posed to the state by flooding and sea level rise and develop a statewide coordinated approach to addressing such risks. (2) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term: (a) “Critical asset” includes: 1. Transportation assets and evacuation routes, including airports, bridges, bus terminals, ports, major roadways, marinas, rail facilities, and railroad bridges. 2.
