Staff met with Naples Cinematheque and noted the following items: assurances of financial commitment, evaluation of the price and development timeframe. On March 30, 2023 Naples Cinematheque provided a revised Letter of Intent with additional information including Initial Schematics.

Such notice shall identify the area or portion thereof and shall state that proposals must be made by those interested within 30 days after the date of publication of the notice and that such further information as is available may be obtained at such office as is designated in the notice. The county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency shall consider all such redevelopment or rehabilitation proposals and the financial and legal ability of the persons making such proposals to carry them out; and the county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency may negotiate with any persons for proposals for the purchase, lease, or other transfer of any real property acquired by it in the community redevelopment area. The county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency may accept such proposal as it deems to be in the public interest and in furtherance of the purposes of this part. Except in the case of a governing body acting as the agency, as provided in s. 163.357, a notification of intention to accept such proposal must be filed with the governing body Packet Pg. 132 14.B.2 04/11/2023 not less than 30 days prior to any such acceptance. Thereafter, the county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency may execute such contract in accordance with the provisions of subsection (1) and deliver deeds, leases, and other instruments and take all steps necessary to effectuate such contract. As a result of this notice, the County may receive other proposals from Developers interested in this parcel. Staff will bring all submitted proposals to the Board, along with the Letter of Intent, for the Board's consideration. The Advisory Board will have an opportunity to review and provide recommendations to Board prior to the Board's consideration. FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated cost to advertise is $1,200.

Buyer: Naples Cinematheque Inc. or assigned affiliate or subsidiary. Packet Pg. 136 'INEMATPEOU6 Buyer Representation: p The buyer will be represented by Jane Bond of The Bond Agency. as Price:CL 0 0 The proposed purchase price is $2,500,000.00 of which 20% would be deposited with Seller, or ` a Seller's agent upon acceptance of a binding Purchase Agreement. Buyer would pay the balance to seller at closing. c� m The Business: Three screen theater venue for revival and repertory cinema, special events, and post-productionLO c services. The Venue will also have standard concessions and a full bar. The Naples Cinematheque will be a place of comfort directly tapping into the nostalgia market that people M are yearning for while also showcasing new release "hidden gems". 0 We will build and offer to the community a state -of the -art theater that will neither resemble a corporate multi-plex or the antiquated holding on -by -a -thread characteristics of a second run theater. The Naples Cinematheque will be of the highest caliber and class that can only be found in a private studio screening room. We have always wanted to build and curate a theater that would not only celebrate the history of cinema, but that would be an essential part of a community as well as recognized throughout the world as a first-class repertory and revival cinema. The Naples Cinematheque will offer the community a different vintage film title every night, celebrating each screening as if it's a new release. The programmed titles will appeal to every demographic. It will be the only theater in the county that celebrates the golden years of cinema without having to compete with the first run film releases at the local multi-plex. The goal is to open Naples Cinematheque for business operations by Q2 2024. Identified Architect: Kenney Lee Architecture Group, Inc. specializes in theaters from multiplexes to Class -A luxury houses. They previously have worked for Regency Theatres, Luxe Reel Theatre, and many others. Walt Gannat is a lead architect for the firm and will work with our team and the county as appropriate to design and plan the venue and parking. Identified Acoustic Engineer: John Storyk, the CEO of Walters-Storyk Design Group, is one of the premiere acoustic theater masters in the world with renowned projects from Electric Ladyland Studios for Jimi Hendrix to Spotify studios in Los Angeles. John has strong ties to both Florida, Los Angeles, and New York. He will be engaged to acoustically treat the theater. Packet Pg. 137 14.B.2.b Supporting Local Businesses: p Working within the community, Naples Cinematheque plans to partner with locally owned and operated businesses as much as possible and as approved by management including construction company, legal, vendors, financial institutions, and other consultants and partners. c L a Parking & Local Traffic: We intend to plan approximately 1parking space per 3 theater seats on the property — approximately 50-75 spaces as the current plan is to have no less than 150 theater seats and no m more than 225 seats. At this time, we intend to have two 75 seat theatres and one 35 seat theatre. r We will make best efforts mitigating any traffic and/or parking concerns including right turn c LO entrance and exit points on both Thomasson Drive and Bayshore Drive. Honoring Del Ackerman: We recognize what a respected pillar the late Del Ackerman was to the community and have every intention of continuing to honor his legacy by displaying a memorial in the theater lobby which would include photos and information on the history of the property. We hope our roots in the community are as long and deep as Del's were. County Outreach Collaboration: Due to recent relief efforts related to Hurricane Ian in Collier County and Buyer's support of the community, Buyer agrees to collaborate with Seller in good faith on timing of full possession of the Property through a mutually agreed upon time not later than sixty days from transaction close unless mutually agreed, so long as good faith is reasonably reciprocated should any surveys, testing, etc. may need to be scheduled prior to Buyer's full possession of the property. Thereafter, Buyer agrees to remain in contact and support community efforts related to Hurricane Ian, so long as it does not impede on construction, development, or any obligations to investors or lending institutions related to the project. Marketing and Community Engagement: The real charm of curating a cinematheque comes with hosting events that work in partnership with the community: Hot Rod week and car show, where we screen a series of 1950's Teenage Rebel films and host a classic car show. We will open our doors to mixers for divorcees and widowers as well as young drama and musical theater students to initiate our cinema sing -along series. We will also reach out to every school and make the theater available for educational purposes. Every person and organization we engage with will be the ones that will spread the gospel of the Naples Cinematheque. We will make every effort to collaborate with Naples' biggest annual events, such as the globally recognized Naples Winter Wine Festival, the Naples International Film Festival, the Naples Boat Show and The Naples Craft Beer Festival. Packet Pg. 138 14.B.2.b _INEMATPMUE While we feel this will be more than enough to market ourselves in the community, we will also make a point to advertise in the local high gloss magazines that are still very much in vogue in Naples. We also plan to have Q&A and/or guest speakers who will help add insight to the films being screened. And to broaden our appeal, we plan to set-up a Naples Cinematheque online channel which will stream all our Q&A and speaker series content. This way, the global film community will have access to what we're doing locally. Again, the possibilities are infinite.

M Honoring Del Ackerman: We recognize what a respected pillar the late Del Ackerman was to the community and have every intention of continuing to honor his legacy by displaying a memorial in the theater lobby which would include photos and information on the history of the property. We hope our roots in the community are as long and deep as Del's were. County Outreach Collaboration: Due to recent relief efforts related to Hurricane Ian in Collier County and Buyer's support of the community, Buyer agrees to collaborate with Seller in good faith on timing of full possession of the Property through a mutually agreed upon time not later than sixty days from transaction close unless mutually agreed, so long as good faith is reasonably reciprocated should any surveys, testing, etc. may need to be scheduled prior to Buyer's full possession of the property. Thereafter, Buyer agrees to remain in contact and support community efforts related to Hurricane Ian, so long as it does not impede on construction, development, or any obligations to investors or lending institutions related to the project. Marketing and Community Engagement: The real charm of curating a cinematheque comes with hosting events that work in partnership with the community: Hot Rod week and car show, where we screen a series of 1950's Teenage Rebel films and host a classic car show. We will open our doors to mixers for divorcees and widowers as well as young drama and musical theater students to initiate our cinema sing -along series. We will also reach out to every school and make the theater available for educational purposes. Every person and organization we engage with will be the ones that will spread the gospel of the Naples Cinematheque. We will make every effort to collaborate with Naples' biggest annual events, such as the globally recognized Naples Winter Wine Festival, the Naples International Film Festival, the Naples Boat Show and The Naples Craft Beer Festival.

N DRIVING FORCE: N Let me just jump right in and say that cinema has been my art, my religion, and my life since I M was 10 years old and has been the singular driving force that has dictated my decisions o throughout my life. It is the reason I became a movie theater projectionist in high school where I y was the youngest member of the Washington D.C. projectionist union, it is the reason I moved to Los Angeles at 19 to attend film school and it's the reason that I'm standing here now. BLESSED: I've been incredibly blessed as I've had the opportunity to work in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years as a studio screening room manager and operator for some the most prestigious venues in Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C. And in those years, I have worked alongside every A -List filmmaker, actor, executive, editor. I was there at the heyday of independent films when I was hired as Quentin Tarantino's personal projectionist. But it was my decade managing and building up the screening room business for Dick Clark Productions that I had cemented my reputation as offering the absolute highest of standards in theater presentation. I've spent years working with clients at one of the most crucial parts of their process, the film's final steps for completion and release to the public and I'm so grateful, as a true cinephile at heart, to have been privy to top secret works in progress from the likes of Alejandro Iiiarritu, Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, David O'Russell, to name a few. FROM PRODUCTION TO EXHIBITOR: And though I loved working in the entertainment industry, and collaborating with so many talented people, I recognized a major shift had occurred during the lockdown, though it was on its way prior. The creative aspect of the industry had started to change and was no longer recognizable to me. I could see the writing on the wall and I no longer saw a future for myself on the production side of filmmaking, or at least a future I wanted to be a part of. Instead, I thought the only way to find joy in the film industry and truly be passionate in my career, was, and is by becoming an exhibitor and sharing with the public what I love most and that's the history of film, and all the magic that comes with it. LOI: Del's Corner REV: March 29, 2023 Packet Pg. 151 14.B.2.c NAPLES CINEMATPEOUE NAPLES: My wife and I fell in love with Naples, we fell in love with the tropical climate, the lush green p landscape, the clean streets, the fantastic food, gorgeous white sand beaches and eco system, but ;, above all else the community. Everybody we came in contact with were extremely friendly, whether they were locals or visitors. The community just had a way of bringing out the best in o people. a a o: REALIZATION: What sealed the deal was in January of 2021 we decided to visit my folks, who were living in m North Naples. Though we had been to Naples a couple of times in the past, it wasn't until this particular trip that I realized that it was time for me to open my own movie theater, and Naples Q seemed to be the ideal location. BUILDING THE BUSINESS: From that moment we have spent every single day putting all the pieces in place to build what we call the Naples Cinematheque. And what that commitment meant, was that my wife and I would be willing to resign from our current salaried jobs, put our home on the market, and leave behind all our friends and family that we had in Los Angeles. We felt our wealth of experience and knowledge would be more appreciated and valued in Naples. NAPLES CINEMATHEQUE: The Naples Cinematheque will be a boutique, state -of -the art, three screen repertory and revival theater which will offer the community an alternative cinema experience. We will screen a different vintage film title every day and celebrate each one as if it's a "new" release. After all, what's old is new. "New" vintage films, are alive and always evolving. The film changes with age, just as you change. A film you might have seen 20, 30, or even 40 years ago will be a completely "new" film to you upon revisiting. We are now in the golden age of film restoration, and this gives everyone the opportunity to experience the legacy of cinema like no other generation has had before. MEMORIES: I always ask everyone I come in contact with what are a couple of your favorite films. Everyone has at least one important memory that involves a film that they saw in the theater when they were young. A film upon revisiting conjures up a waterfall of memories. Or maybe it just brings back a memory of simpler times, before the world turned upside down. It's these films that you hold near and dear that we will be screening. The Naples Cinematheque will be a place of comfort directly tapping into the "nostalgia" market that people yearn for. EQUIPPED: Our theater will be equipped with both digital to project the new restorations of vintage films as well as 35mm to be able to offer films that are unavailable in ANY format or streaming service. LOI: Del's Corner REV: March 29, 2023 Packet Pg. 152 14.B.2.c NAPLES CINEMATPEQUE CONCESSION & BAR: The venue will have a standard concession and a full bar. We plan to have as few distractions as p possible from your movie watching experience. We want the focus to be on the films. as COMMUNITY CURATING: o L The programmed titles will appeal to every demographic in the community, and it'll be the only a theater in Southwest Florida that celebrates the golden years of cinema without having to compete with the first run film releases of the local multi-plex's. m But the real charm of curating a cinematheque comes with hosting events that work in partnership with the community: Hot Rod week and car show, where we screen a series of 1950's teenage Q Rebel films and host a classic car show. We will open our doors to mixers for divorcees and N widowers as well as young drama and musical theater students to initiate our cinema sing -along N series. We will also reach out to every school and make the theater available for educational M purposes. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION: We will make every effort to collaborate with Naples' biggest annual events, such as the globally recognized Naples Winter Wine Festival, the Naples International Film Festival, the Naples Boat Show and The Naples Craft Beer Festival. LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS: Naples Cinematheque plans to partner with locally owned and operated businesses as much as possible, including construction, legal, vendors, financial institutions, and other consultants and partners. RENTAL & POST -PRODUCTION: The theater will also be available for both private rental to individuals, businesses or organizations to host events, as well as being available for post -production services for any production in southwest Florida that needs to screen their material. GOSPEL: Every person and organization we engage with will be the ones that will spread the gospel of the Naples Cinematheque. Q&A & SPEAKERS: We also plan to have Q&A and guest speakers who will help add insight to the films being screened. The guest speakers will either be invited from my list of relationships that I have made over the last 30 years, or they will be professionals from the area who have a unique perspective that can complement a film. It's all about engaging with the community.

DEL: We recognize what a respected pillar the late Del Ackerman was to the community and have every intention of continuing to honor his legacy by displaying a memorial in the theater lobby which would include photos and information on the history of the property. We hope our roots in the community are as long and deep as Del's were. PIONEERS: We witnessed how the pioneers: 360 Market and Celebration Park, The Med, Best Popcorn Company, and others opened up a business in the Bayshore Arts District, and we very much see ourselves sharing the same ethos as those that have already laid down roots. We couldn't think of better place for a boutique community movie theater, to set up shop but in the very center of the county's growing arts district. PARKING & CAPACITY: We intend to plan approximately 1 parking space per 3 theater seats on the property — approximately 50-75 spaces for the current plan of a total of 185 seats in three theaters. We will make best efforts mitigating any traffic and/or parking concerns including right turn entrance and exit points on both Thomasson Drive and Bayshore Drive. ZONING: We are also in contact with the zoning board regarding a preapplication for conditional use of the three parcels and will require approval from the zoning board prior to final execution of the purchase agreement. I'll now have our business partner and board member, Den6 Anderberg, who just flew in from Los Angeles last night add some additional information regarding the business. BUSINESS & GOAL: (Read by Den6 Anderberg) Naples Cinematheque Inc. is a Delaware C Corp established in 2022 which is intended to be registered and operated in Florida.

He wants Naples to see it, too, in a place he feels was made for it. Garonzik and his business partner, his wife, Cecilia, are proposing a boutique cinema on the southeast corner of Thomasson and Bayshore drives that will specialize in vintage and personally curated films. Its fare would not be the first -run blockbuster, but the selected classic, sometimes attuned to a special day or season. Events such as the Naples Winter Wine Festival or Cars on Fifth could bring out a week of movies themed to their topics. Garonzik said he's ready for the quirkiest of observances, such as National Roller Skating Day, with films centered around, or employing, them. "I would program a calendar, but absolutely would take suggestions," he told attendees at the Bayshore Community Redevelopment Agency meeting Jan. 17, where he explained his plan to an approving crowd. "I'm really excited about the fact that it would be located in the heart of the Bayshore Arts District," he told the group of around 3o residents. Packet Pg. 168 14.B.2.c The cinema's first series could appropriately center around a theme of convenience stores, since it would be on the property that held Dells 24-Hour Food Store, (https://www.gulfshorebusiness.com/redevelopment-plans-open-for-former-dels- 24-hour-store-in-east-naples/) a legend on that corner for 55 years. Collier County bought its four parcels of land comprising 2802 and 28o8 Thomasson Drive from the late Ackerman's wife. The Garonziks' company, Naples Cinematheque, is proposing to buy the land for $ 2.5 million. No date has been set yet for a meeting with Collier County commissioners. Garonzik said the couple is in the process of completing financial backing, "although I would always welcome someone local. I would love to see local investment in this." The architect, acoustician and sound technicians are all set, however, he said. Garonzik said he is a lifelong film aficionado, a former projectionist to stars in Hollywood as well as production companies there. It's been his dream to open a cinema that programs according to local needs, interests and celebrations. 0 J 0 L. a. a U H t9 m 0 r1 Packet Pg. 169 14.B.2.c Garonzik said he would love to bring films that may have been underrated or discarded at their openings, but are being given a second look now for their entertainment or social issue value or the legacy of their stars or directors. Because of the current intrigue of international politics, he offered "Witness for the Prosecution" and "Judgment at Nuremberg," or on the issue of abortion, "Love With a Proper Stranger." Garonzik said the couple is taking their cue from several cinemas that hew to the same format of themed and rare films: the Film Forum in New York City, and the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles, which spreads its films among three theaters. Both are nonprofit organizations. Naples Cinematheque would hold two 75-seat theaters and an intimate 35-seat space. A concession stand and full bar are planned to be part of the mix. ii Packet Pg. 170 14.B.2.c Garonzik sees it as a perfect spot for private party rental as well. People can potentially rent a themed film for the celebration or screen their own documentaries. He recalled one man actually proposing to his girlfriend via a documentary he had assembled of her life and screened for her at a surprise party in one of the Los Angeles venues. "I just think Naples is the kind of city for something like this," Garonzik declared. o J If he were programming his theater to begin with his favorite films, what would Naples Q see? "The `Godfather' trilogy," he said. "I love those films." &- a For more Collier County coverage, subscribe to The Naples Press.

Quentin Tarantino's former personal film projectionist David Garonzik is hoping to build a vintage movie theater called Naples Cinematheque on the land where Del's 24-Hour Food Store was located. The cinema would show movies that aren't in theater -circulation anymore like silent, foreign, and vintage films. But Garonzik doesn't just want to screen movies. He wants to create a unique cinema experience. "Every night is a curated event," Garonzik said. He's planning on screening different movies every week and bringing in guest speakers that worked on the films. "We have CMX and Silverspot, and other movie theaters, but this is something completely different," Naples Realtor Jane Bond said. "This is nostalgia for us. This is something to bring back an era that's been long gone." Garonzik wants to reintroduce films that haven't seen the big screen in decades. "The only time I'll do first run is when they no longer become first run," Garonzik said. https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/Ioca1/2023/02/02/vintage-movie-theater-looking-to-open-in-bayshore/69862722007/ I Packet Pg. 172 2/6/23, 10:30 AM Vintage movie theater looking to open in Bayshore 14.B.2.0 Del's and Naples Cinematheque: 'kindred spirits' Del's 24-Hour Food Store sat at the corner of Bayshore and Thomasson drives in East Naples for 61 years before being demolished last year. The owner, Del Ackerman, passed away in 2019. His store remained open for another year, but ultimately shut its doors in 2020. Collier County bought the property from Ackerman's widow for $2.1 million in 2020. The lot has remained vacant since. Bond says Naples Cinematheque can be an anchor in the community — just like Del's was. "It's something that is going to bring light to the community also, just like Del's did," Bond said. "It had been a historical landmark there for quite some time." Siobhan Cleveland, owner of Bayshore restaurant the Real Macaw, believes Del's and Naples Cinematheque are more similar than they appear. "I know people have a lot of fond memories of Del's," Cleveland said. "He was a trailblazer in his own right and did something unique and special. It's a totally different business model, but in a way [Ackerman and Garonzik] are kindred spirits to be doing their own thing and starting something new." Bayshore community: `We're super excited about the idea' Garonzik pitched his project to Bayshore locals at the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency meeting in January. He said he was amazed at the level of enthusiasm he was met with. "We weren't sure how the community was going to respond, but they all responded fantastic," Garonzik said. Bayshore resident and jewelry store owner Amanda Jaron says she loves the uniqueness of Naples Cinematheque. "I love the fact that it's something to do other than eating and drinking," Jaron said. "This is a really great date night thing, and something that's creative and unique to the area." Cleveland says the project captures the community's evolution over the years.

"It's o LO certainly something that would enhance the arts here, and it seems to be a perfect fit." N Jaron and Cleveland both mentioned how the Bayshore Arts District has grown into a place for artistic people to thrive. Cleveland believes the theater will fit in perfectly. "I think that the Cinematheque project seems to fit like squarely into that ethos of being eclectic and unique, yet elevated at the same time," Cleveland said. "So I think it would become another special destination attracting visitors to the neighborhood." Behind the scenes: `Nobody else can do it but David Garonzik' Garonzik attended film school in Los Angeles after running a small theater in high school and several cinemas in Washington DC. In L.A., Quentin Tarantino hired Garonzik as his personal film projectionist for Miramax Films. He spent most of his professional life working with film festivals and studios. "I ended up on the production side and the postproduction side of the industry, but my real love always was film history," Garonzik said. After screening movies for filmmakers, actors, and executives during the week, Garonzik spent his weekends showing vintage films on the screens he managed. "I loved that because everybody would sit in the lobby and mingle," he said. "And it was always a great evening." So Garonzik decided to make those evenings permanent — in Naples. Garonzik, his wife Cecilia and daughter Masina recently moved to Naples to make their project come to life.

Working from his current base in Los Angeles, he has become an important 0 participant in the world of independent film. m Fascinated by film, David studied to be a skilled projectionist. His first job as a projectionist was in Washington, DC at the age of 17. He would eventually move on to film festivals, operating dozens of N highly regarded events such as the Hamptons IFF and Palm Springs IFF. It was at Palm Springs that he was invited by Miramax to manage their new screening room built for Quentin Tarantino. N While running Miramax's screening room, David screened The Harder They Come for the first time, and it became a cinema mantra for him. He in turn set out to write and direct a children's musical set on the island of Jamaica using the best reggae music. While doing research in Jamaica for this project, David had the opportunity to meet Perry Henzell, the filmmaker who had changed his life, and in the process was soon to learn about No Place Like Home, Henzell's long lost follow-up feature to The Harder They Come. David was determined to help locate the film's negative that had been missing for 30 years. He succeeded, and then went on to organize the restoration and finishing with Henzell of No Place Like Home. Through his efforts, the film was finally completed and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. David followed No Place Like Home with the documentary, Man Free. Directed by Kinsey Beck, the film teamed Garonzik once again with editor Alexis Chavez, who also edited No Place Like Home. He produced and directed the documentary Perry Henzell: A Filmmaker's Odyessy, co -directed and produced with noted filmmaker Arthur Gorson. The Harder They Come, No Place Like Home and Perry Henzell: A Filmmaker's Odyessy were all released as part of a 3-disc special edition by Shout! Factory and which was chosen by the Los Angeles Times as among the "10 Best of 2019." That same year he completed work on the documentary Girl for director Kandeyce Jorden, which chronicles several of the most important female DJ's in the EDM community.
