ID# 2025-1990
Executive Summary
This item is to be heard at 10:30 AM
*** This item was continued from the May 27, 2025, BCC Meeting. ***
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners review and consider for approval and execution: 1) a Fourth
Amendment to Vacant Land Contract with David Lawrence Mental Health Center, Inc., to modify the Collier County
Standard Form Long-Term Lease and include an Operating Agreement exhibit governing Behavioral Health Center
operations; and 2) an Amendment to the Naming Rights Agreement to clarify use of funds acquired with naming rights.
OBJECTIVE: To review and consider for approval the Fourth Amendment to the Vacant Land Contract with David
Lawrence Mental Health Center, Inc., to update the Long-Term Lease and add an Operating Agreement for the
Behavioral Health Center, and approve an amendment to the Naming Rights Agreement to clarify the use of naming
rights funds.
CONSIDERATIONS: Since May 2021, the Board of County Commissioners has approved a series of related
agreements with David Lawrence Mental Health Center, Inc. (“DLC”), including a Vacant Land Contract, associated
addendum, a long-term lease, several amendments to each, and a Naming Rights Agreement. These agreements support
the construction and operation of a central receiving facility, to be known as the Behavioral Health Center (the
“Facility”), for individuals requiring acute mental health care and stabilization (e.g., Baker Acts, Marchman Acts, crisis
cases). Each amendment has refined the parties' roles and responsibilities.

Collectively, these agreements provide that DLC will convey an unimproved five-acre parcel located on 5959 Golden
Gate Parkway to Collier County, which will lease it back to DLC for operation of the Facility. The County is
responsible for construction of the new Facility. On February 14, 2023, the Board approved the necessary change in
zoning classification to the Community Facilities Planned Unit Development (CFPUD), and on January 13, 2025, the
Site Development Plan was approved. The Facility's design, permitting, entitlements, preconstruction services, and
construction is financed by a $56.1 million infrastructure sales surtax budget. A lease format has already been approved
as an exhibit to the Vacant Land Contract.
This item requests approval of two related actions: (1) a Fourth Amendment to the Vacant Land Contract, which
modifies the unexecuted form of the long-term lease to be used at closing by clarifying certain terms in the lease and
adding an operating agreement; and (2) an Amendment to the Naming Rights Agreement to clarify the permitted use of
funds acquired through naming rights. These approvals are necessary to finalize the contractual framework that will
support the construction and operation of the Behavioral Health Center. Edits proposed at the June 3rd workshop have
been presented to DLC, but final revisions were not available at the time of agenda printing. Approved revisions will
be presented when this item is heard.
An overview of the proposed edits to the Vacant Land Contract and related attachments, as well as the Naming Rights
Agreement are below.
Fourth Amendment to the Vacant Land Contract:
1. Replaces the previously approved Lease (originally attached as Exhibit A to the Vacant Land Contract) with a
Page 309 of 2218
6/10/2025
Item # 11.A
ID# 2025-1990
revised Lease that incorporates provisions necessary to support the operation of the Facility. Revisions to the Lease
include:
• Name. Clarifies that the Facility will operate as a Central Receiving Facility (CRF) to be formerly known as the
“Behavioral Health Center.”
• Default. Addition of a new term related to the Operating Agreement, stating that failure to comply with the terms of
the Operating Agreement shall constitute a Default by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease, unless otherwise
specified in the Operating Agreement.
• Maintenance. Clarifies that the County shall be responsible for replacement of building systems at the end of their
expected useful life, rather than day-to-day maintenance.
• Insurance. Adjusts Lessee’s insurance requirements upwards pursuant to requirements set forth by the County’s Risk
Management Department.
2. Terms of Operating Central Receiving Facility identified as Exhibit “C” are added to the Lease for the first time.
Exhibit “C” sets forth a detailed Operating Agreement, which contains operational terms and performance obligations
for DLC. Key terms include:
• Statement of Work. States that the Facility will be used as a central receiving facility for individuals needing
evaluation or stabilization under the Baker Act, Marchman Act, or other crisis services defined in ss. 394.67(18)-(19),
F.S.
• Scope of Services. Details the operating hours of the Facility, number of beds, types of services rendered, and
compliance with certain existing agreements and guidelines.
• Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment. DLC shall be responsible for the purchase and procurement of all furniture,
fixtures and equipment for the Facility for the duration of the Lease. This obligation includes any security-video
management systems and cameras, artwork, and medical equipment.
• Licensure and Accreditation. Ensures that required licensure and accreditation by various agencies are obtained by
DLC, with proof provided to the County within 30 days of receipt. Further provides that if DLC loses any such licensure
or qualification, DLC must reinstate within 30 days or be in violation of the Operating Agreement.
• Collaboration. Allows for continued collaboration between the Parties, wherein DLC may present evidence-based
alternatives to the standards in the Operating Agreement every 3 years to account for changes in the mental health field.
Either party may terminate the Lease if the parties cannot reach an agreement over operational standards after reasonable
diligence and negotiation.
• Performance Measures and Penalties. Requires that certain performance measures are met as part of DLC’s service
delivery, and provides for certain penalties for noncompliance and nonperformance, which include submittal of
Corrective Action Plan, and scheme for withholding of grant funds for continued non-performance.
• Funding. States that Collier County is not responsible for operational funding of the Facility beyond specific state
required local match obligations. If other governmental or philanthropic funding sources fall short, DLC may request
deficit funding from the County, which the Board may approve, adjust the level of service, or deny funding. If the Board
declines to make adjustments to the level of service and denies funding, either party may terminate the Lease.
• Administrative Provisions. Includes various administrative provisions related to qualified staffing, data sharing, data
reporting, incident reports, records review, safety and security, signage, and compliance with laws.
• Termination. The Operating Agreement identifies two scenarios, outlined in the Collaboration and Funding sections,
under which either party may terminate the Lease: 1) if after reasonable diligence and good-faith negotiation, the Board
does not agree to changes to standards in the Operating Agreement based on evidence-based findings presented by DLC
on a 3 year basis, either party may terminate the Lease, and 2) if there is a deficit in funding and the Board declines to
make adjustments to the level of service and denies funding, either party may terminate the Lease. Should the Lease be
terminated, DLC will have the ability to purchase the Facility for the greater of fair market value, established by
appraisal done by a mutually acceptable appraiser, or the tax dollar expenditure by the County for construction of the
building. DLC must make the decision to purchase the Facility within 6 months of receipt of the Notice of Termination.
DLC’s failure to exercise its option to purchase will result in the County retaining both the Facility and the land it sits
on.
There is no termination right for failure to meet performance measures. Instead, DLC will be subject to a penalty scheme
for noncompliance, which consists of Corrective Action Plans and continued monitoring. If continued noncompliance
persists, the Board may withhold certain grant money.
The Lease does not contain any termination rights outside of standard default provisions. Failure to comply with the
Operating Agreement, outside of what is otherwise outlined herein, shall be considered a default. Neither party may seek
Page 310 of 2218
6/10/2025
Item # 11.A
ID# 2025-1990
monetary damages for default under the Operating Agreement.
First Amendment to Naming Rights Agreement:
• It includes a new term stating that proceeds generated through naming rights must initially fund the Facility's
furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
• Any excess proceeds generated through naming rights must be used solely for operational expenses for the
Facility over the term of the Lease.
• Provides for annual reporting of receipts, disbursements and current balance of funds generated through the
naming rights campaign.
• Requirement to maintain complete and accurate records to support reporting and make the records available for
inspection.
Upon approval of these items by the Board, the parties will move to closing, where the property will be simultaneously
conveyed to the County and leased back to DLC for operation of the Facility.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to develop and utilize partnerships to ensure that
government facilities meet public expectations.
FISCAL IMPACT: According to Section 394.76(9)(a), Florida Statutes, a 25% local match is required for community
alcohol and mental health services and programs. In fiscal year 25, the Board committed $1,719,500 (includes $303,999
added by budget amendment and identified at the time as non-recurring) in General Fund support and $522,000 in
Opioid Settlement Funds toward this requirement. Additionally, $812,800 in SLFRF grant funding is also allocated to
the David Lawrence Center (DLC). FY25 is the final year of SLFRF funding.
Beyond the ongoing operating match funding identified above, the County is responsible for capital replacement of
major Behavioral Health Center building systems, such as the roof, HVAC, electrical systems, and facility utilities, once
they reach the end of their expected useful life. These assets are anticipated to have lifespans ranging from 10 to 40
years, requiring an annual capital reserve of approximately $460,000.
Under the terms of the lease, DLC is responsible for operating and maintaining the Behavioral Health Center/Central
Receiving Facility (CRF). This includes all routine maintenance, operating expenses, and procurement of furniture,
fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for the duration of the lease.
DLC has prepared a financial pro forma for the CRF covering fiscal years 2025 through 2032, which is attached to this
agenda item. The pro forma identifies both current and anticipated new revenue sources, as well as direct and indirect
operating costs. The new facility is projected to become operational in fiscal year 2027. In that year, direct operating
costs are estimated at $13,160,406 and indirect costs at $2,881,204, for a total of $16,041,610. New revenue sources
included in the pro forma total $1,393,193 and include enhanced Low Income Pool (LIP) funding through partnerships
with the Sheriff’s Office, Hospital Directed Provider Payment Program revenues, naming rights investment proceeds,
and contributions from community partners. Federal, State, and fee-based sources are $13,918,337. The pro forma
identifies a fiscal year 2027 funding deficit of $730,080, and this amount increases to $1,619,635 by fiscal year 2032.
Per the Operating Terms of the CRF, the projected revenues to operate the CRF include the current levels of Federal,
State and Collier County funding. If sources of revenue for operation of the CRF from the Federal Government, State
Government or Collier County are reduced, DLC may submit a request for deficit operational funding of the CRF to the
County. In response, the Board may approve the request, adjust the expected level of service, or deny the request. If
the Board denies funding and declines to adjust service levels accordingly, either party may terminate the lease under the
agreement’s funding-related termination provisions.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact.

date of issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Collier County Mental Health FacilityCentral
Receiving Facility to be built on the Premises (“Term”); provided Lessee’s obligations hereunder
shall not commence until delivery and acceptance of the building. One year prior the end of the
Lease Term or any renewal term, the County shall provide Lessee written notice indicating the
County’s intent to either (i) renew the Lease on the same terms and conditions hereof, for an
additional five (5) year term, or (ii) terminate the Lease at the end of the Term (or any renewal
term, as applicable). Should the County elect to terminate the Lease, Lessee shall have the option
to purchase the Mental Health FacilityCentral Receiving Facility (free of monetary liens and
encumbrances) for the greater of (i) the fair market value of the building, established by appraisal
by a mutually acceptable appraiser at Lessee’s expense, or (ii) the tax dollar expenditures by the
County for construction of the building, upon which Lessor shall transfer to Lessee, all right, title
and interest of Lessor in and to the Mental Health FacilityCentral Receiving Facility. Lessee’s
option must be exercised within six months following receipt of such written notice, following
which the option rights shall automatically expire. If Lessee fails to exercise its option, the Mental
Health FacilityCentral Receiving Facility, together with the 5 acre parcel it sits on, shall be fully
owned and operated by Collier County, with Lessee having no further obligations, rights or claims
whatsoever to the Facility or the 5 acre parcel. If Lessee does not make such election and holds
over after the expiration of the lease term, such tenancy shall be from month to month under all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease subject, however, to Lessor’s right to seek legal
relief to eject Lessee from the Premises as a holdover. Nothing herein shall preclude the Parties

costs, fees, taxes, trash removal services, assessments, utility charges, and obligations of any kind
that relate to the Premises. Lessee will indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any and all
claims, costs and obligations arising from Lessee’s use of the Premises, provided that the foregoing
will not entitle the County to indemnification the sole for negligence of the County, willful neglect
or intentional misconduct of the County. In case any action or proceeding is brought by Lessee or
Lessor to enforce the other’s obligations under this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay all
costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and liabilities resulting therefrom, and shall defend such action or
proceeding if the prevailing party shall so request, at the non-prevailing party’s expense, by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the prevailing party It is specifically agreed however, that either

counsel of its choosing.

improvements made by the Lessee are specifically prohibited from attaching to or becoming a lien
on the interest of the Lessor in the Premises or any part of either. This notice is given pursuant to

the heating, ventilation, cooling systems and generator(s) servicing the Premises, and all structural
portions of the Premises, including, but not limited to, the roof, weight bearing walls and columns,
parking lot resurfacing, footings, foundations and structural floors, unless the need for said is the
result of an intentional or negligent act or omission of Lessee. If the Premises are not in such
compliance in the reasonable opinion of Lessor or Lessee, as applicable, the defaulting party will
be so advised in writing. If corrective action is not begun within thirty (30) days of the receipt of
such notice and prosecuted diligently until corrective action is completed, the non-defaulting party
may cause the same to be corrected and the defaulting party shall promptly reimburse the non-
defaulting party for the expenses incurred, together with a 5% administrative fee.

damaged to any material extent, as reasonably determined by Lessee and Lessor, by fire or other
casualty, and Lessor must use the insurance proceeds, hereinafter referred to as “Proceeds,” to
rebuild or restore the Premises to substantially its condition prior to such casualty event unless the
Lessor provides the Lessee with a written determination that rebuilding or restoring the Premises
to such a condition with the Proceeds within a reasonable period of time is impracticable or would
not be in the best interests of the Lessor, in which event, Proceeds shall be promptly remitted to
Lessor. If the Lessor elects not to repair or replace the improvements, then Lessee or Lessor may
terminate this Lease by providing notice to the other party within ninety (90) days after the

Page 356 of 2218
Page 5 of 15

Lessor conveys the Land to Lessee. During the period between the date of such casualty and the
date of termination, Lessee will cease its operations as may be necessary or appropriate. If this
Lease is not terminated as set forth herein, or if the Premises is damaged to a less than material
extent, as reasonably determined by Lessee and Lessor, Lessor will proceed with reasonable
diligence, at no cost or expense to Lessee, to rebuild and repair the Premises to substantially the
condition as existed prior to the casualty.
b. Condemnation. Lessor may terminate this Lease as part of a condemnation
project. Lessor will use its best efforts to mitigate any damage caused to Lessee as a result

and employees, shall have the right after reasonable oral notice to Lessee, to enter into and upon
the Premises during normal business hours, or such other times with the consent of Lessee, to
inspect the Premises, verify compliance with the terms of this Lease, or make any required repairs
not being timely completed by Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the safety and
confidentiality of those receiving services, staff, and visitors, the operation of the Premises is a
highly secure environment and Lessor’s representatives will be instructed accordingly, and shall
be required to sign non-disclosure agreements and be escorted by a member of DLC staff while on
Premises.
145. Termination and Surrender. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties,
within thirty (30) days after termination of the lease term, provided Lessee has not elected to buy
the building as provided herein, Lessee shall redeliver possession of the Premises to Lessor in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall have the right at any time
during Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises to remove any of its personal property, equipment, and
signs provided, however, at the termination of this Lease, Lessor shall have the option of either
requiring Lessee to demolish and remove all improvements made by Lessee to the Premises upon
Lessee’s vacation thereof, or to require Lessee to retain said improvements with fixtures on the
Premises which improvements and fixtures will become the property of the Lessor upon Lessee’s
vacation of the Premises.
156. Assignment. This Lease is personal to Lessee. Accordingly, Lessee may not assign
this Lease or sublet any portion of the building constructed on the Premises by Lessee without the
express prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor’s sole
discretion. Any purported assignment or sublet without the express written consent of Lessor shall
be considered void from its inception, and shall be grounds for the immediate termination of this
Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Lessee is not in default, so long
as the assignee is a duly organized not-for-profit corporation with financial resources comparable to Lessee,
Lessor’s consent of such assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld.

to Lessor in the event of cancellation or reduction in policy(ies) coverage. If such amounts are

remedies set forth below.
178. Defaults and Remedies.
a. Defaults by Lessee. The occurrence of any of the following events and the
expiration of the applicable cure period set forth below without such event being cured or
remedied will constitute a "Default by Lessee" to the greatest extent then allowed by law:
i. Abandonment of Premises.
ii. Lessee’s knowing misrepresentation of a material matter related to this
Lease.
iii. Filing of insolvency, reorganization, plan or arrangement of bankruptcy.
iv. Adjudication as bankrupt.

ix. Any lien is filed by Lessee against the Premises or Lessee’s interest therein
or any part thereof in violation of this Lease, or otherwise, and the same

unless within such period Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity of
such lien and such lien is appropriately bonded.
x. Failure of Lessee to perform or comply with any material covenant or
condition made under this Lease, including any exhibit attached hereto,
which failure is not cured within ninety (90) days from receipt of Lessor’s
written notice stating the non-compliance shall constitute a default (other
than those covenants for which a different cure period is provided), whereby
Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving Lessee thirty (30)
days written notice unless the default is fully cured within that thirty (30)
day notice period (or such additional time as is agreed to in writing by
Lessor as being reasonably required to correct such default). However, with
respect to a default under ii, iii, iv, v, and vi, above, the occurrence of such
event shall constitute a material breach and default by Lessee, and this Lease
Page 359 of 2218
Page 8 of 15
may be immediately terminated by Lessor except to the extent then
prohibited by law.
b. Remedies of Lessor.
i. In the event of the occurrence of any of the foregoing defaults following
written notice to Lessee with opportunity to cure, Lessor, in addition to any
other rights and remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right to re-
enter and remove all individuals, entities and/or property from the Premises.
Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee, all without service of
notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass,
or being liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. If
Lessee does not cure the defaults in the time frames as set forth above, and
Lessor has removed and stored property, Lessor shall not be required to
store for more than thirty (30) days. After such time, such property shall be
deemed abandoned and Lessor shall dispose of such property in any manner
it so chooses and shall not be liable to Lessee for such disposal.
ii. If Lessee fails to promptly pay, when due, any full installment of rent or any
other sum payable to Lessor under this Lease, and if said sum remains
unpaid for more than five (5) days past the due date, the Lessee shall pay
Lessor a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each such
payment not paid promptly and in full when due. Any amounts not paid
promptly when due shall also accrue compounded interest of two (2%)
percent per month or the highest interest rate then allowed by Florida law,
whichever is higher ("Default Rate"), which interest shall be promptly paid
by Lessee to Lessor.
iii. Lessor may sue for direct, actual damages arising out of such default of
Lessee or apply for injunctive relief as may appear necessary or desirable
to enforce the performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or
covenant of Lessee under this Lease, or otherwise. Lessor shall be entitled
to reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred arising out of Lessee’s
default under this Lease.
c. Default by Lessor. Lessor shall in no event be charged with default in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Lessor shall have failed to
perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably
required to correct such default) after written notice to Lessor by Lessee properly and in

necessary work and incur all reasonable costs on behalf of and at the
expense of Lessor. Lessor will pay Lessee on demand all reasonable costs
incurred and any amounts so paid by Lessee on behalf of Lessor, with no
interest.
iii.Lessee may sue for direct, actual damages arising out of such default of
Lessor. Lessee shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs
incurred arising out of Lessor’s default under this Lease.
e. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either
party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and
every such remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under
this Lease or hereafter existing under law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any event of default will impair any such right or power
nor be construed to be waived, but any such right and power maybe exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
f. Non-Waiver. Every provision hereof imposing an obligation upon Lessee is a
material inducement and consideration for the execution of this Lease by Lessee and
Lessor. No waiver by Lessee or Lessor of any breach of any provision of this Lease will
be deemed for any purpose to be a waiver of any breach of any other provision hereof or
of any continuing or subsequent breach of the same provision, irrespective of the length of
time that the respective breach may have continued.
