of declining tourism, Miller suggested that higher hotel rates may be offsetting any
drop in visitor numbers, but recommended directing such questions to the Tourist
Development Council (TDC). No other questions.
VIII) New Business
A. City of Naples Stormwater Outfall Pipe Removal and Water Quality Project
Andy Miller read the recommendation: Approve a Category A grant application
for the City of Naples stormwater outfall pipe removal and water quality project
as a reimbursable grant not to exceed $10 million and find that this item promotes
tourism.
Bob Middleton (City of Naples Public Works Director) presented the project in
detail. The project, currently underway, is titled the Gulf of Mexico Stormwater
Outfall Pipe Removal and Water Quality Project. It covers the area along Gulf
Shore Boulevard North, including drainage basins and three connected lakes:
North Lake, South Lake, and Alligator Lake. Eight of ten outfall pipes will be
Page 285 of 1848
3
removed (one private pipe to be addressed during future development). The lakes
are being dredged to remove accumulated muck and improve filtration for
nutrients and particulates, with dredging mostly completed and materials hauled
off-site (muck in dewatering bags, separated sand disposed separately). Two
pump stations (at 3rd Avenue North and 8th Avenue North) will discharge treated
stormwater 1,500 feet offshore via diffuser systems to spread the flow, as required
by DEP and Corps of Engineers. Additional components include 78 new inlets,
6,000 feet of 24- to 54-inch stormwater pipes.
The project benefits tourism by removing unsightly outfalls that discharge at the
water's edge, improving water quality beyond state minimums, increasing flood
protection from a 5-year to 25-year storm event, enhancing resiliency with road
elevations, and attracting more foot traffic to beaches, parks, and sidewalks. It
boosts local economy, remedies beach concerns, increases marketability, and is
supported by a tourism impact study. The total project cost is $86 million, but the
grant request is for $10 million covering only outfall removal elements (pump
stations, emergency diesel generators, directional drilling), not the $50 million in
piping. This complies with FDEP mandates for outfall removal to maintain beach
renourishment funding. Expenses prior to BCC approval are not reimbursable.
Completion is expected by June 2027, with some roads currently closed (3rd
Street, 7th, Gulf Shore Boulevard) but minimized during off-season.
Questions and discussion:
i Dr. Judy Hushon asked about lake dredging completion and material
handling (mostly done on North and South Lakes, with headwall
replacement on South Lake; muck dewatered and hauled, sand
separated).
ii Dave Trecker clarified FDEP mandate and funding (complying to
avoid loss of renourishment funds; $10 million completes obligations
for outfall removal). Also noted total cost breakdown ($32.6 million
for outfall-specific elements, $86 million overall).
iii Daniel High discussed resiliency: Old gravity system tide-dependent;
new pumps submersible in wet wells, electrical panels at FEMA 14-
foot elevation; technology proven (ocean outfalls in East Coast,
Sarasota; existing city pump stations). If failure, stagnant water
possible in rain events, but not for storm surge.
iv Joe Burke inquired about generators (diesel, one at Alligator Lake on
Gulf Shore Boulevard at 14 feet, one enclosed at beach club);
biofouling (minimal in saline environment, maintenance via divers on
diffusers for mussels/barnacles; no pigging or restricted coatings).
v Dave Trecker asked about stormwater cleaning (lakes for settling,
pump stations for floatables removal, inlets with filter baskets for
particulates like grass clippings; considering centrifugal separators;
regular maintenance); sand inundation post-storm (diffusers on
Page 286 of 1848

bottom, pump volume clears sand). Noted similar system in Myrtle
Beach.
vi Bob Middleton mentioned completion date would be around June 27th.
The committee found the project promotes tourism.
Alle in favor. Motion carried
B. . City of Naples Grant Agreement for Beach Maintenance and Lowdermilk
Park Parking Lot Maintenance
Andy Miller read the recommendation: Approve funding reimbursement from the
City of Naples not to exceed $700,000 using tourist development tax funds for
beach maintenance and Lowdermilk Park parking lot maintenance, waive
irregularities, authorize budget amendment, and find that this item promotes
tourism.
Miller provided detailed background: The City of Naples typically submits annual
applications for reimbursement alongside county beach maintenance requests but
missed the previous year due to unforeseen circumstances. This is an after-the-
fact reimbursement request covering fiscal year activities. The breakdown
includes $500,000 for beach maintenance ($300,000 for salaries and $200,000 for
operating costs) and $200,000 for repairs to Lowdermilk Park parking lot
following hurricane damage. The request addresses post-Hurricane Ian repaving
that was subsequently damaged by later storms. The funding promotes tourism by
maintaining beach access and facilities.
Questions and discussion:
i Linda Penniman questioned the inclusion of salaries in the
reimbursement, seeking confirmation if this is standard practice
(Miller to verify, noting it may be typical for operational costs).
ii Dr. Judy Hushon highlighted the parking lot's repaving after Hurricane
Ian and additional damage from subsequent hurricanes, emphasizing
the need for resilient infrastructure.
Motion by Daniel High to reimburse the City of Naples not to exceed $700,000
using TDC funds and state that it promotes tourism. Seconded by chairman Joe
Burke second.
All in favor
Opposed: None.
Motion carried.

Clam Pass Project
Andy Miller read the recommendation: Authorize expenditure of tourist
development tax funds for 2025 Clam Pass maintenance, dredging, and sand
reclamation at Clam Pass Park in the amount of $434,758.50 for construction,
engineering, surveying, and environmental monitoring, and find that this item
promotes tourism.
Neil Doral (Pelican Bay Services Division), with Chad Coleman and Lisa Jacobs,
presented (courtesy, not action item). Dr. Mohamed Dabees (Humiston & Moore)
on Zoom. The project maintains the small natural inlet, removing ~13,000 cubic
yards of sand from sections A, B, C; reclaiming overwash from Hurricane Ian in
Outer Clam Bay; reconstructing dunes. Permits expiring in two years; work starts
November 1 if not earlier. Sand placed first at county park, then north side. New
elements: Reclaiming shoal, hand-dug channels for drainage. Contract to
EarthTech Enterprises (~$370,000 plus contingencies). Enhances hydraulic
efficiency, mangrove health.
Questions and discussion:
i Dr. Judith Hushon suggested mangrove planting along inside edge
(Doral open to it if eligible, not currently planned but enhances;
successful past restorations).
ii Chairman Joe Burke asked about berm importance (prevents new inlet,
saltwater intrusion).
iii Lisa Jacobs noted berm elevation (7-8 feet), plantings/irrigation.
iv Dave Trecker inquired about permit renewals (pre-application done,
one-year extension granted).
v Dr. Judy Hushon discussed berm resiliency (mangroves for holding).
No motion required; informational.
IX) Old Business
A. Vanderbilt Beach Emergency Fill
Andy Miller presented an after-the-fact update on the emergency fill project. The
spot renourishment was conducted north of Vanderbilt Beach Road near the
Turtle Club, addressing a narrow beach and escarpment that impeded emergency
vehicle access ahead of the July 4th weekend. Rapid approvals were obtained
from agencies including FWC, FDEP, and Army Corps of Engineers. Sand was
trucked in via road access, with work completed on July 3, 2025. As of August 6,
2025, the fill is holding well. The project was already approved by the TDC and
BCC; this update is provided as a courtesy to the CAC. The primary driver was
public safety, ensuring access for emergency services.
Questions and discussion:
Page 288 of 1848

i Chairman Joe Burke confirmed the timing of the work (completed in
July 2025).
ii Daniel High commended the team for navigating regulatory red tape
efficiently to complete the project swiftly.
No action required.
X) Announcements
Andy Miller announced: Vanderbilt and Pelican Bay Beach Renourishment bids
received (good); start late October/early November, complete before Christmas.
Naples Beach delayed to next fall due to city projects (outfall, pump station at 3rd
Ave N access point, beach end repairs, Naples Beach Club hotel). Less disruptive
with ongoing stormwater work.
XI) Committee Member Discussion
A. Chairman Joe Burke raised request from Pelican Bay Men's Club for CAC
talk in January/February; Joe and Dave Trecker to attend. Colleen Greene
advised on Sunshine Law: Both can attend, but one speaks primarily to avoid
two-way discussion appearance. No vote needed; head nods for awareness.
B. Dr. Judy Hushon noted late materials receipt (file size issue); suggested secure
cloud link. Miller apologized, working on solutions; no dedicated FTP site.
C. Dr. Judith Hushon noted outdated CAC website (no meeting dates, "EXP" by
names meaning expired?). Miller confirmed working on updates; limited staff,
relies on county IT.
No other items.
XII) Next Meeting Date
The next meeting date is scheduled for September 11, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.
XIII) Adjournment
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was
adjourned at 2:20 p.m.

Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve a request for reimbursement from the City of Naples for FY 24/25 in
the amount not to exceed $675,000 using tourist development tax funds for beach maintenance and
Lowdermilk Park parking lot maintenance, waive any irregularities in the process, authorize the
necessary budget amendment, and make a finding that this expenditure promotes tourism.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: Approve the City of Naples request for reimbursement of tourist development tax funds.
CONSIDERATIONS: The City of Naples applies for Tourist Development Tax grants each year through
the Tourist Development Council (TDC). Due to unforeseen circumstances, the City did not submit their
Grant Application(s) in Summer 2024 .During the Spring/Summer of 2024, the County and City were
working together to amend the FY24 application due to Hurricane Ian’s damage to the Naples Pier. The
funding is very important to the City due to the work needed to restore and maintain the beach after these
3 storms. The City submitted the applications in August 2025 and is seeking tourist development tax
funding for FY 24-25 for authorized uses of the Tourist Development Tax for Naples Beach Maintenance
and Lowdermilk Park Maintenance.
The City performed the work in FY 24-25 and is seeking reimbursement. County Staff supports the City’s
request due to the work performed on City beaches and in Lowdermilk Park. The Grant Application requests
$500,000 for Naples Beach Maintenance including Beach Maintenance Staff Salaries ($300,000) and Beach
Maintenance ($200,000). The City is also seeking reimbursement of $175,000 for Lowdermilk Park
maintenance of beach park facilities including replacing picnic tables and benches ($75,000), beach park
maintenance ($75,000), and parking lot drainage maintenance ($25,000).
County Staff will review and approve the invoices prior to submittal which will not exceed $675,000.
Following approval, the invoices will be submitted to County Finance for payment.
This item is consistent with the Infrastructure and Asset Management element of Collier County’s Strategic
Plan by preparing for the impacts of natural disasters on our critical infrastructure and natural resources.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: This item will be presented to the Coastal
Advisory Committee on September 11,2025 and the Tourist Development Council on September 16,2025.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding in the amount of $500,000 is budgeted for Fiscal Year 2025 within the TDC
Beach Renourishment Fund (1105) and $175,000 in the Beach Park Facilities Fund (formerly 183). The
source of funding is the Tourist Development Tax.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. – CMG
RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve a request for reimbursement from the City of Naples for FY 24-25
in the amount not to exceed $675,000 using tourist development tax funds for Naples Beach Maintenance
and Lowdermilk Park parking lot maintenance, waive any irregularities in the process, authorize the
necessary budget amendment, and make a finding that this expenditure promotes tourism.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the fall truck haul beach renourishment project and authorize tourist
development tax expenditures for the Vanderbilt Beach Renourishment scheduled for November
2025 with an estimated project cost of $5,500,000; and make a finding that this item promotes
tourism (Project 90066).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain a recommendation approving the project and funding for the 2025 truck haul
beach renourishment project for Vanderbilt Beach.
CONSIDERATIONS: Staff are seeking project approval and authorization for a 149,500 ton truck haul
beach renourishment project for Vanderbilt Beach for an estimated cost of $5,500,000, which shall
include but not be limited to the following cost estimates:
• Engineering design, permitting, inspections and project certification - $143,811
Sand purchase by the County - $1,644,500
• Construction $3,078,075
Staff inspectors and inspections
➢ QA/QC inspections of delivered sand and truck chain-of-custody control - $75,000
➢ Staff construction observation, oversight, safety monitoring - $25,000
Shorebird monitoring - $17,500
Contingency - $516,114
The cost estimate is based on recent historical pricing to support an anticipated construction start date of
November 1, 2025. Placement of this sand is expected to renourish the beach for a design life of five (5)
years, assuming no exceptional storms, hurricanes, or unexpected weather conditions.
The sand quantities estimated for this project are based on post-Helene / Milton storm surveys performed
in November / December 2024. Actual quantities needed based on field conditions will be determined
immediately prior to construction. An adjustment of up to +/- 25% in sand quantities is assumed for this
item.
Approval of this item will allow staff to work with Procurement to request a Purchase Order for sand
production by Stewart Materials under Contract No. 21-7827 so that the beach fill material can be
stockpiled and ready to haul once the renourishment construction contract is awarded. Contracts will be
presented to the Board of County Commissioners prior to expenditure of funds.
Pelican Bay Services Division also intends to renourish their beaches coincident with the Vanderbilt
Beach Renourishment under the same County approved contract for Vanderbilt Beach. The County’s
estimated costs do not include expenditures for Pelican Bay Beach, which will be funded through the
Pelican Bay Services Division.
This item is consistent with the Quality of Place Objectives of the County’s Strategic Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost is anticipated to be $5,500,000. Funding is available in the
Tourist Development Tax Beach Renourishment Fund (1105), Vanderbilt Beach Maintenance Project
(90066). Source of funding is tourist development tax.
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) cost-share funding will be requested, if eligible,
at a future date to reimburse Collier County for a portion of the completed work.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the FY 2025-2026, 10-Year Capital Planning document for Tourist
Development Tax funds in TDC Beach Renourishment Fund (1105) and TDC Engineering Fund
(1102) and make a finding that these expenditures promote tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval for the annually updated 10-year capital planning document for the
County’s beach and inlet management program.
CONSIDERATIONS: A 10-year capital planning document has been developed by Collier County staff
to identify and balance long-term capital requirements/expenses and revenues received from the Tourist
Development Tax Fund (1105) for beach renourishment and pass maintenance.
This document is strictly used for planning. Grant requests and expenditure requests will be reviewed and
by the Coastal Advisory Committee, the Tourist Development Council, and the Board of County
Commissioners.
Additionally, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Local Government Funding
Request (LGFR) program requires that a 10-year planning document be utilized and approved for all
municipalities seeking cost-share funding for Beach Management projects. Approval of this document for
planning purposes satisfies the intent of this program.
This item supports the Quality of Place objective within the Collier County Strategic Plan by preserving
and enhancing the character of our community, protecting our natural resources, providing quality amenities
and recreational opportunities, and by promoting Collier County as an exceptional tourism destination.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for this action. Funding for this program is provided by
Tourist Development Taxes.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item complies with the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
