EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the combined FBU National Championship (FBUNC) and Top Gun
Showcase agreements and to extend the term for each event to 2025 and make a finding that this
action promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: Approval of combining the agreements for the FBUNC and Top Gun Showcase events
into a single agreement and extend the term of those events,
CONSIDERATIONS: The FBUNC event agreement was recommended by the TDC and approved by
the BCC on April 23, 2019. The FBU Top Gun event agreement was recommended by the TDC on
December 10, 2019. These two events are owned and managed by Steve Quinn, President of FBU, LLC
and the desire is to extend the term on each event to 2025. Combining the two events into one Agreement
will make the payment installments easier to manage due to the closeness of each installment.
The attached Agreement combines these two events into one document and divides the $400,000
commitment for the FBUNC and the $100,000 commitment for the Top Gun Championship into five
installments. We have also included in this combined Agreement the commitment that FBU LLC and
Steve Quinn have made to bring at least four new football related events to Collier County to be hosted at
the new Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
All the terms of each of the separate agreements currently in place have been incorporated into this
combined Agreement. Payments for each of the 2020 FBU events that have already been processed under
the current two event sponsorship agreements will not be paid from this new combined events Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: $400,000 for the FBUNC and $100,000 for the Top Gun Showcase events are
included in the BCC approved FY 20 Tourism Division budget and the balance of payments that occur in
FY 21 will be carried over to the FY 21 requested Tourism Division budget. Funding for both events will
be requested in the Tourism Division budget for FY 22, FY 23, FY 24 and FY 25.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan with this
Executive Summary.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Tourist Development Council recommended
approval of this item 8-0 at the ,tune 22, 2020 meeting.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the combined FBU National Championship (FBUNC) and Top
Gun Showcase agreements and to extend the term for each event to 2025 and make a finding that this
action promotes tourism.
