Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Grant Agreement (L2301) between the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Collier County for the Collier County Parks and Recreation
Athletic Courts Resurfacing project and authorize the necessary Budget Amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To provide quality public amenities and recreational opportunities through the delivery of improved
public facilities for the citizens of Collier County in line with the County's Strategic Plan Quality of Place initiative.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Legislature allocates funds during the annual legislative cycle to various projects
throughout the state, including public services, infrastructure, and facilities.
On November 8, 2022 (Agenda Item #11.L), the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Collier County’s
State and Federal Legislative and Administrative Priorities for 2023, which contained the County’s State appropriations
project requests. One of the project requests was for $750,000 for the resurfacing of approximately fifty (50) athletic
courts throughout County parks, including related activities such as design, engineering, permitting, construction, and
construction engineering inspection services (the “Project”) to include a $50,000 local match for a total of $800,000.
The request was officially submitted to the Florida Senate in February 2023.
The request for $750,000 was reduced during the legislative session and on June 15, 2023, Governor DeSantis approved
the General Appropriations Act, which included a nonrecurring appropriation in the amount of $450,000 for the
development of Collier County’s Athletic Courts Resurfacing project, to be administered as a cost reimbursement grant
to Collier County. To fully fund the $800,000 project, a local match of $350,000 is required to cover the remaining
balance.
On June 25, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.3), the Board approved a resolution accepting the $450,000 award and $350,000
match requirement. On March 27, 2025, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection provided Collier County
staff with the prepared agreement.
This item is consistent with the objective to provide quality public amenities and recreational opportunities of Collier
County’s Strategic Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Amendments are necessary to recognize FDEP grant funding in the amount of $450,000
within Public Services Grant Fund (1839), Project 33947 and the local match in the amount of $350,000 with Public
Services Match Fund (1840), Project 33947, through a transfer from Parks AD VAL CIP Fund (3062), Project 80307,
supported by ad valorem.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with the Recreation and Open Space Element of the
Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires a majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Grant Agreement
(L2301) between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Collier County for the Collier
County Parks and Recreation Athletic Courts Resurfacing project and authorize the necessary Budget Amendments.
