Agenda 05/14/2024 Item #16K 5 (Resolution - Reappointing Yvar Pierre to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board)05/14/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reappoint Yvar Pierre to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board.
OBJECTIVE: To reappoint Yvar Pierre to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to a term
expiring on April 4, 2027.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolutions 2000-82 and
2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and identifying two areas
within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/Gateway Triangle and Immokalee) as areas in need of
redevelopment. In addition, Resolution 2000-83 authorized the creation of Local Advisory Boards by separate
resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment plan. The CRA adopted Resolution 2001 -98, which
provided that the Immokalee Enterprise Zone Development Agency would also be the Immokalee Local
Redevelopment Advisory Board. When the Florida Enterprise Zone Act was repealed in 2015, the CRA adopted
Resolutions 15-217 and 15-218 establishing the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board as a stand-alone
advisory committee. The purpose of this committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional
input to the CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are 3 years. A list of the
current membership is included in the backup.
The committee bylaws as revised in CRA Resolution No. 2016-198 provide that the membership of this nine-
member committee be distributed as follows:
a) Two (2) Immokalee residents;
b) Two (2) individuals representing Immokalee businesses;
c) One (1) Immokalee Lighting and Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) Representative;
d) One (1) individual representing a non-profit operating in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area;
e) Three (3) at-large representatives who reside or engage in business, or both, in the Immokalee
Redevelopment Area.
