RESOLUTION NO. 2008-~
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, REPLACING AND SUPERSEDING
RESOLUTION NO. 93-224, IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A POLICY
RELATING TO ALL COLLIER COUNTY ADVISORY BOARDS, WHICH
PERMITS REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR
ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS WHO MUST TRAVEL IN EXCESS OF
20 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO ATTEND MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, on October 23, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners repealed
Ordinance No. 86-41, as amended, in its entirety, and adopted Ordinance No. 01-55, which now
governs the creation and review of Collier County Boards and provides a policy declaration; and
WHEREAS, both Ordinance 86-41 and the superseding Ordinance No. 01-55, as
amended, define a "board" to include every agency, advisory board, regulatory board, quasi-
judicial board, committee, task force or any other group created and funded in whole or in part by
the Board of County Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, on June 1, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners through adoption of
Resolution No. 93-224, established a policy of non-reimbursement for any in-County travel
expenses incurred by board members defined by then-current Ordinance No. 86-41, as amended;
and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 01-55, as amended, is silent as it relates to reimbursement for
in-County travel expenses incurred by members of the boards defined therein; and
WHEREAS; in light of recent, dramatic increases in fuel prices, the Board of County
Commissioners desires to revise its policy of non-reimbursement for travel expenses to avoid
placing undue hardships on advisory board members who must travel in excess of 20 miles
roundtrip to attend their board meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. The Board of County Commissioners hereby establishes a policy which provides for
reimbursement of mileage expenses incurred by advisory board members who must travel
in excess of20 miles roundtrip to attend their advisory board meetings.
2. The Board of County Commissioners shall from time to time review and approve the
process and funding source for administering this policy.
3. This Resolution shall supersede and replace Resolution No. 93-224.
