Item # 16.G.D
I- # 202543D89
Executive Summary
Recommendation to authorize the County Manager or designee to begin negotiating a new Leasehold Agreement for
Hangar Construction with Collier Mosquito Control District, related to the construction of aircraft hangars at the
Immokalee Regional Airport.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the Mosquito Control District with a new land lease on the Immokalee Regional Airport
property to support their operational needs.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 10, 2022, (Agenda Item 16G1), the Authority approved a Leasehold Agreement (the
“Lease”) with the Collier Mosquito Control District (the “Tenant”) to construct aircraft hangars at the Immokalee
Regional Airport. The term of the fully net Lease was forty (40) years for a parcel of land approximately 449,975 square
feet, which was to be utilized for the construction, and subsequent operation of: aircraft hangars, a Collier Mosquito
Control District administration facility, and other support infrastructure.
On August 27, 2024, the Board approved the Collier Mosquito Control District's request to terminate its land lease
signed May 10, 2022 with the Airport Authority and both parties mutually agreed to terminate the agreement, effective
August 28, 2024. Collier Mosquito Control District has now expressed interest in re-establishing a land lease on the
same property to support their operational needs. Since the lease termination, the Airport Authority has updated its land
lease policies, including terms and conditions. As a result, the prior agreement structure is no longer applicable, and any
new lease would need to conform to current standards. At the CMCD Board Meeting of May 27, 2025, the CMCD
Board voted to permit their Executive Director, Patrick Linn, to commence negotiations with the Collier County Airport
Authority to create a new lease and to bring the new lease back to the CMCD Board for approval.
Staff requests that the Board authorize the County Manager or designee to begin negotiating a new leasehold agreement
with the Collier Mosquito Control District for construction of aircraft hangars at the Immokalee Regional Airport so that
the Mosquito Control District can meet their operational needs and continue providing services.
According to Florida Statute 125.38, for the sale or lease of county property to the United States, or state or any
governmental agency or municipality, no advertisement shall be required.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective: Develop and utilize partnerships to ensure that
government facilities meet public expectations. These partnerships with other governmental entities or the private sector
allow for the improvement of infrastructure and the creation of new facilities that provide economic opportunities for all
parties and revert facilities to the Airport Authority at the end of the lease.
FISCAL IMPACT: There’s no fiscal impact associated with this Executive Summary at this time.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with Section B: Intermodal & Multimodal
Transportation, Subsection 2: Aviation of the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. — SAA
RECOMMENDATION(S): To authorize the County Manager or designee to begin negotiating a Leasehold Agreement
for Hangar Construction with Collier Mosquito Control District, related to the construction of aircraft hangars at the
Immokalee Regional Airport.

Good afternoon Mr. Garrett:
In follow-up to our discussions of the last two weeks – and at the direction of the CMCD Board of
Commissioners – the Collier Mosquito Control District formally requests termination of its lease on
a 10-acre parcel on the southwest corner of the Immokalee Airport.
As we discussed, recent, revised cost estimates for the entirety of the proposed project far exceeded
our expectations (and thus ability to move forward). To be clear, cost estimates are now more than
300% of what we planned. That said, the District, despite careful financial planning during the past
seven years, is unable to proceed with the project as planned.
The amount of effort and expense put forth by both parties to reach this point in this project has been
substantial. Further, the assistance and support of the County, Airport Authority, and management
have been exemplary.
Please advise regarding the appropriate next steps the District needs to take to follow-through with
the above request.
Respectfully,
Patrick Linn, MS, MSHAPI
