The Collier MPO is an independent agency that manages its own funds. The Board of County Commissioners
appropriates Collier MPO’s annual operating budget and acts as the custodian of Collier MPO’s account, with the Clerk
of Courts assisting with the administration of the account.
This request is consistent with The Strategic Plan objective to plan and build public infrastructure and facilities to
effectively, efficiently, and sustainably meet the needs of our community.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is required to recognize grant funding in the amount of $1,178,086 from the

is no local match requirement. Funding begins July 1, 2025, and does not coincide with the County’s budget cycle.
