(A) Emergency Certificates of Competency
r Timothy Crotts: The Board of County Commissioners declared a local state of
emergency due to Tropical Storm Hurricane Idalia and its possible effects to Collier
County. Under Collier County Ordinance 2006-46 Section 2.1 I emergency restricted
certificate of competency under Section 2.ll.l declare an emergency contracting
trade shortage as designated categories of contractors and and/or subcontractors listed
in our ordinance. This declaration shall be for a period not to exceed six months.
Under Subsection 2.11.2 authorize the contractors licensing supervisor to prepare and
regulate the selection of contractors and/or subcontractors from other jurisdictions
whose licensing requirements are substantially comparable to those licensed in
Collier County and to issue temporary licenses to those contractors for a period of
time not to exceed the declaration of emergency. The contractors selected must be
licensed and jurisdictions whose testing and licensing requirements have been
predetermined by the Contractor Licensing Board to be substantial and comparable to
the Collier County requirements.
Recommendation of Staff is to authorize the contractor licensing supervisor the
authority to issue emergency certificates of competency for those trades deemed
warranted by the contractor licensing supervisor due to the after-effects of Tropical
Storm Hurricane Idalia for a period of 60 days not to exceed six months and not to
exceed the declaration of the local state of emergency of Collier County, Board of
County Commissioners and with the City of Naples. A review of the emergency
license warranted by the licensing supervisor will be reviewed at the next scheduled
Contractor Licensing Board meeting on Septemb er 20, 2023 .
I Todd Allen: Do I have a motion to approve the emergency certificates of
competency.
f Kyle Lantz: So move.
r Richard Joslin: Second.
I Timothy Crotts: Before the determination of the licenses that will be selected by the
emergency issuances, Staffwill work in conjunction with the Collier County City of
Naples, City of Marco and the City of Everglades building departments to determine
what trades will best assist the homeowners and business owners in repairing the

damage to be determined as part of the county's crisis track and other reporting
systems of our municipalities. If it is determined that no emergency licenses will need
to be issued, then Staffwill take no actions and the authorization can be revoked at
the next scheduled Contractor Licensing Board meeting on September 20,2023.
Further discussion ensued regarding:
o The motion is 60 days set by ordinance. If we do not need to issue any licenses, at
the September 20, 2023 meeting we can revoke the motion.
o If the County does not renew the state of emergency then this order will be null
and void.
