RE: Civil Air Patrol—Funding Assistance
Dear Sheriff Rambosk:
On December 9th,the Collier County Board of County Commissioners heard a Public Petition
presentation from the Marco and Naples Squadron(s),of the Civil Air Patrol.The local CAP is seeking
additional funds for their evening Coastal Patrol missions. Attached is a copy of their presentation
1 materials.
The Board voiced their appreciation to the Civil Air Patrol for their aerial observation and reporting
efforts,but did not provide any direct funding as the CAP requested.Further,the Board directed staff to
seek grant or other funding opportunities that might meet the financial needs of the CAP to increase the
number of Coastal Patrol missions.
Collier County's Grant Services office is currently looking for any respective grant opportunities. The
County Manager's office also suggested that I reach out to you to see if any confiscated fund resources
may be available as well as any grant opportunities your staff could refer to us.
I have kept Chief Bloom and your Aviation Division aware of this initiative prior to the Board's meeting
and direction.
1 If you have any funding resources or options,please let me know. I will be happy to lead and assist in
any coordination efforts.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Note: If either answer is "yes",the Board will hear the item but will have no

Please explain in detail the reason you are requesting to sneak(attach
additional paps If necessary):
I am an Incident Commander for the Civil Air Patrol (CAP)representing both
adult squadrons in Collier County. The Civil Air Patrol has enjoyed a long
history in Collier County and the Country with respect to conducting a wide-
array of support missions for our military, homeland security and
community. We have a memorandum of understanding with the Bureau of
Emergency Services and its Department of Emergency Management for
missions and tasking(s)during emergencies.
Civil Air Patrol in addition to state and local emergency missions operates a
self-deployed or self-tasked mission to fly Wilderness Waterway Coastal
Patrols. These waterway patrol missions allow our all volunteer pilots and
emergency service personnel opportunities to maintain proficiency for
emergency missions while serving as an aerial observation resource to
guide boaters,hikers, and campers to safety via our air-to-ground
communications. All emergency situations are coordinated with the Collier
County Sheriffs 911 and Emergency Management. On many occasions,we
have assisted local responders and the Coast Guard with locating lost
kayakers,campers by guiding both parties to meeting locations in the vast
10,000 islands as an example. These waterway patrol missions have allowed
us to spot wildfires, report possible derelict vessels, report to the U.S.Coast

Guard any oil sheens,and improve our response-time to marine and aircraft
distress beacons.We gained extensive experience flying countless missions
during the BP oil spill providing invaluable aerial photography of the sheen
and operations. We have been flying these local Waterway Wilderness Patrol
Missions since 2000.
At present this and other CAP operations are funded strictly by donations
from local contributors. Because funding is limited,we can only fly
approximately 30 patrols a year,which is less than one per week.
Our operations recommend flying at least three missions per week to ensure
proficiency and an acceptable level of service to the citizens. Such
Wilderness and Waterway Patrol missions are supported In Sarasota and
Charlotte counties via funding sources such as port and waterway
authorities or marine fuel surcharges, based on our information.
The cost for a 1.5-hour patrol flight is about 5200 dollars which covers
aircraft maintenance and fuel only.CAP operates with ail volunteer crews at
no cost.
We are a tax-exempt organization within the State of Florida and have a not—
for-profit status as chartered by congressional authority.
Please explain in detail the action you are asking the Commission to take,
jgttach additional palm if necessarvl:,
We are asking the Board for a$15,000 funding allocation to support
approximately 75 missions annually.We would be happy to work with staff
for a separate funding agreement or allocation for these specific Wilderness
and Waterway Patrol missions.
I would like to offer a brief power point presentation,and/or answer any
questions you may have.
Thank you.
