Agenda 05/09/2017 Item #16D 505/09/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. to use the Fred W. Coyle
Freedom Park for its Honor Flag fundraiser for 2017. This project supports the various charities of
the Rotary Club.
OBJECTIVE: To authorize the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. to utilize the Fred W. Coyle
Freedom Park for its 2017 Honor Flag Fundraiser in support of the various Club charities.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park has been used by the Naples-Collier Rotary
Club, Inc. for the past two years (2015 and 2016) for its Honor Flag Fundraiser. The Club is once again
requesting the County’s authorization to utilize the site for its 2017 Honor Flag Project. The Club sells
flags for placement and renews the prior subscriptions to existing flags at this location. These donations
support the various Club charities. Those charities include, but are not limited to, the Boy Scout Charter
Groups, Lorenzo Walker Institute Grants, and the Honor Flight Project which allows veterans to tr avel to
Washington D.C. to visit the various veterans’ memorials in the region. A portion of the proceeds from
last year’s Honor Flag project was donated to the Freedom Memorial. The Club commits to donating a
portion of the proceeds of the Project to the Freedom Memorial for 2017.
The Club provides the flags to donors to honor the memory of the person the donor wishes to
commemorate. The flags have been and will be placed along the right-of-way in front of the Freedom
Memorial by members of the Rotary Club. This year’s flag placement will start on Saturday, May 27,
2017 to coincide with the Memorial Day weekend and will be removed in concert with a flag removal
ceremony at the Freedom Memorial Park on Flag Day, June 14, 2017. The flags will be secured in the
ground with plastic sleeves inserted into the ground surrounding the Memorial.
As previously recommended in 2015 and 2016, the Parks and Recreation Division proposes to allow the
use of the Park at no cost to the Rotary Club.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this request. While the Board does have
fees associated with the Open Green Space within the Parks Division, this activity would occur in passive
Park space and does not fall squarely within the County Fee Policy.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. -CMG
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorizes and approves the use of
the Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park by the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. at no cost to the Club for its
Honor Flag Project for 2017 to allow the Club to raise funds for its various projects, including the
Freedom Memorial.
