CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Community and Human Services Division (CHS) recently
announced the opening of the FY 2024/2025 grant application cycle for Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The application period began on Tuesday,
January 09, 2024, and all applications were due by 12 p.m. Wednesday, February 21, 2024. Due to the
short turnaround, staff secured the County Manager’s approval to submit the grant application as it’s
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”.
The scope of the project will include installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons at three
crosswalks and adding additional light poles to extend the lighting syste m to Seminole Crossing Trail.
The application was submitted electronically.
FISCAL IMPACT: Total estimated cost for this project is $1,550,000. The CRA was awarded
$250,000 of CDBG funds (33831) for the design portion in FY22/23. The CRA has allocated $100,000
from the Immokalee CRA Capital Fund (1026) for CEI services. This CDBG application requests funding
for the construction phase estimated at $1,200,000. There is no match requirement.
If grant funds are awarded, a subsequent Board action will be taken to recognize the grant revenue of
$1,200,000 anticipated to be in FY25.
Road Maintenance and Traffic Ops will take on the ongoing maintenance and capital upkeep of the
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons at the crosswalks. LCEC will take of the maintenance of the
additional light poles. The MSTU will take on the ongoing utility fee.
