Agenda 04/09/2024 Item #11B ( Approve a Naming Rights Agreement with the David Lawrence Mental Health Center, Inc.)04/09/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Naming Rights Agreement with the David Lawrence Mental Health Center,
Inc., relative to the Collier County Behavioral Health Center to generate donations to be restricted
specifically for use within the Behavioral Health Center.
OBJECTIVE: To approve a Naming Rights Agreement with the David Lawrence Mental Health Center, Inc., for
the Collier County Behavioral Health Center.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 27, 2023, and again on March 12, 2024, staff provided a proj ect update on the
Collier County Behavioral Health Center project. In addition to updating construction cost estimates, the project
update also advised that the surtax cannot fund the estimated $4.4 to $5 million requirement for furniture, fixtures,
and equipment, nor estimated net incremental annual operating costs of $4 million. Recognizing this, David
Lawrence Center leadership has met with key community stakeholders to address these unfunded aspects of the
program and developed the “Hope for Collier: Building Stronger Minds Together” campaign. Through this
campaign, David Lawrence Center (DLC) intends to raise critical funding for both capital and
operations/maintenance of the new Collier County Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) and earmarked raised funds
for such.
In order to assist with some level of gap funding for the annual operations of the CCBHC, DLC has developed the
concept of allowing donors to name various spaces within the CCBHC in order to generate funds. Donations
acquired in consideration for naming a space within the Behavioral Health Center will be restricted specifically for
use within the Behavioral Health Center. Naming rights donations will be deposited into a segregated account
owned by DLC; the Collier County Clerk of Courts is authorized to inspect, review, or audit the accounts, books,
records, and activities of DLC as it relates to these donations.
Donors will be required to execute a Charitable Pledge Agreement, identifying the payment amount, the space
being named, and the proposed name of the space. Each Charitable Pledge Agreement is subject to approval by the
Board in order to ensure that the name of the space is appropriate. The County reserves the right to deny any such
Charitable Pledge Agreement if the proposed naming adversely impacts the reputation, image, mission, or integrity
of the County, or is in violation of the County’s naming policy, at its sole discretion.
Staff therefore recommends that the Board approve the attached Naming Rights Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimate for required furniture, fixtures, and equipment is between $4.4 and $5 million.
Additionally, net incremental annual operating costs are estimated to be $4 million per year. DLC estimates the
naming campaign will generate substantial funds to be used to support costs of the CCBHC.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for
approval. -SAA
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Naming Rights Agreement with the David Lawrence Mental Health
Center, Inc., relative to the Collier County Behavioral Health Center to generate donations to be restricted
specifically for use within the Behavioral Health Center.
