Item # 16.D.5
ID# 2025-2031
Executive Summary
Approve an Agreement between Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) and Collier County to manage and host the
years two and three, Corporation for National and Community Service Day of Service events to be held in September of
2025 and 2026 in the amount of $347,836.
OBJECTIVE: To support the County’s strategic plan to enhance our commitment to public safety services through
continuing to engage residents age 55+ through public educational presentations, safety events, and increase the use of
volunteers to foster better emergency preparedness.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Day of Service is a one-day event to honor and pay tribute to those who lost their lives on
September 11, 2001, their families, and those who rose in service in response to that tragedy. The event also acts to
engage residents age 55+ through public educational presentations, and safety events, and increase the use of volunteers
to foster better emergency preparedness utilizing Collier County's Community Emergency Response Plan. Topics vary
based on participant and presenter feedback but will continue to focus on issues such as active shooter training, personal
safety/crime prevention, evacuation preparation, shelter-in-place preparation, how to create a personal/family emergency
plan, and information about resources available throughout Collier County for disaster preparation and other
emergencies.
On June 13, 2023, Agenda Item#16. D.5 the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the after-the-fact
electronic submittal of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 AmeriCorps September 11th National Day of Service and
Remembrance grant application in the amount of $196,561. On August 30, 2023, the Collier County Community and
Human Services Division received a notice of award from AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps anticipates making three (3) one
year grant awards and generally makes an initial award for the first year period of performance, based on a one-year
budget. On January 9, 2024, Agenda Item #16.D.1, the Board accepted the recommendation to receive the grant award
funds.
On May 28, 2024 (Agenda Item #16. D.3), the Board approved the after-the-fact electronic submittal of the FY 2024-
2025 Year 2, AmeriCorps September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance grant continuation in the amount
of $196,561. On July 29, 2024, the Collier County Community and Human Services (CHS) Division received a notice of
award from AmeriCorps for the continuation of the grant. On October 22, 2024 (Agenda Item #16.D.6) the Board
accepted the Year 2 grant award funds.

FY 2023-2024 September 11th Day of Service and Remembrance Grant award.
On May 27, 2025, (Agenda Item #16.D.7) the Collier County Community and Human Services Division requested the
after-the-fact electronic submittal of the FY 2025-2026 Year 3, AmeriCorps September 11th National Day of Service
and Remembrance grant continuation in the amount of $196,561.
With recent staff turnover it was determined that hosting this event would better align with the activities and public
events conducted by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO). County and CCSO staff have worked collaboratively
over the last few months on the planning and approach to transitioning the programmatic activities to CCSO. On March
25, 2025, staff received approval from CNCS to subaward this project.
CCSO is committed to ensuring that the years 2 and 3 summits will continue to focus on teaching the community how to
help in a crisis so they can be better prepared to keep themselves and first responders safe when disaster strikes. The
event will end with a "Call to Action" for those in attendance to participate in AmeriCorps and the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program (RSVP). As in the previous year, the objective is to have these volunteers participate in ongoing
events throughout the year to help teach and prepare residents throughout Collier County for a disaster utilizing Collier
County's Community Emergency Response Plan (CCERP) and CCSO’s Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) program.
The proposed subrecipient agreement will authorize the Collier County Sheriff’s Office to head the Day of Service
