Agenda 01/12/2016 Item #16A26 1/12/2016 16.A.26. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the name of a Collier County artificial reef site pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Community Foundation of Collier County and accept and appropriate a donation in the amount of $98,000 for Artificial Reef Donations Project No. 44038. OBJECTIVE: To approve the renaming of the "Collier 1 Artificial Reef' to the "TOD SIROD REEF" and accept, recognize, approve and appropriate donated Artificial Reef funds. CONSIDERATIONS: On April 23, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a $500,000 grant award from the Gulf Tourism and Seafood Promotional Fund to expand and improve Collier County's Artificial Reef Program (ARP). On May 28, 2013, the Board agreed to accept donations from the Community Foundation of Collier County (CFCC) and to consider naming County reefs in accordance with suggestions to be made by the CFCC. On December 10, 2013 (Item 11I), the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (ATTACHMENT 1) with the CFCC. This requires the Board to approve a donor's request to name a Collier County reef through a $100,000 donation which will be used to support the construction of future artificial reefs off Collier County. The CFCC has received a donation of$100,000. The CFCC will retain a 2% administrative fee and will donate $98,000 for the construction of an Artificial Reef subject to Collier 1 Artificial Reef renaming and regulatory agency approval. An explanation of the administrative fee is attached as back-up. In order to reconcile the actual donation to the County with the initial donation to the CFCC, staff is also recommending an update to the MOU that would memorialize and explain the fee. Upon Board approval of the Artificial Reef name, Collier County will accept, recognize and approve the donated funds subject to the Artificial Reef name change authorization by the State and Federal permitting agencies. FISCAL IMPACT: To authorize budget amendment appropriating donated funds in the amount of$98,000 into the Natural Resource Fund (117)Project No. 44038. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance of these funds is supportive of the Coastal and Conservation Element Objective 7.4 which states that the County shall continue to improve marine fisheries productivity by building additional artificial reefs. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney. My understanding of the MOU is that the County agreed to naming rights upon receipt of a donation of$100,000 or more towards the County's project fund. I am advised that there was a $100,000 donation to the CFCC, who took a $2,000 administrative fee, then forwarded the remaining $98,000 to the County. Since this is only an MOU (as opposed to an agreement), the Board may accept the $98,000 and approve the naming of the reef, or decline the gift. With that noted, this item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK Packet Page-783- 1/12/2016 16.A.26. RECOMMENDATION: To approve the naming of the "Collier 1 Artificial Reef" to the "TOD SIROD REEF", accept and recognize the donation and authorize budget amendment to appropriate the funds in the Natural Resource Fund (117), Project NO. 44038; to further direct the County Manager or his designee to bring back an amended MOU which clearly identifies the 2%administrative fee.

The reason for utilizing the CFCC is to provide the donor with a tax deduction through an approved IRS 501 C3 established entity. The CFCC funds may be used to aid the County, per their request, in construction of artificial reefs in conjunction with the parameters of the Promotional BP Fund Grant Agreement award accepted by the BCC on April 9,2013 Upon request by the County, the CFCC will release Fund donations to the County restricted project fund for the construction: artificial reefs pursuant to executive summary accepted by the BCC dated 5/28/13.

Expressly, the Foundation can modify any restriction or condition on the distribution of funds for any specified charitable purposes or to specified organizations if in the sole judgment of the Board (without the necessity of the approval of any participating trustee, custodian, or agent) such restriction or condition becomes, in effect, unnecessary,incapable of fulfillment,or inconsistent with the charitable needs of the community area served. Once monies are received, it is considered an irrevocable charitable gift.All contributions are subject to the bylaws of the Community Foundation of Collier County.This is an at-will arrangement,with either party having the right to freely terminate on written notice to the other.
