Agenda 04/28/2015 Item #16D14 4/28/2015 16.D.14.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize and approve support of the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier,
Inc. use of Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park for a fundraiser for the Freedom Memorial.
OBJECTIVE: To provide authorization and support of local non-profit organizations desire to
raise funds for the Freedom Memorial at Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Freedom Memorial is a monument located at Fred W. Coyle
Freedom Park and designed by artist Gerald Ladue that was commissioned to commemorate the
military, police officers, firefighters and emergency workers who were killed in the Sept. 11,
2001 terrorist attacks. The granite clad memorial shaped like a waving flag has stepping stones
representing each state, along the side of a six-foot wide, pentagon-shaped brick pathway around
the monument.
There have been a number of fundraising efforts underway as well as a commitment from the
Board of County Commissioners and the City of Naples to complete the Memorial.
The County was recently approached by the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. with an idea for
another fundraising effort. The Club is proposing to sell flags that will be placed at Fred W.
Coyle Park for a donation to the Rotary Club. The flags will be placed at the Memorial from
Sunday, May 30, 2015 (the day before Memorial Day) to June 15, 2015 (Flag Day) in honor of
the memory of the person the donor wishes to commemorate. The flags would be secured in the
ground with plastic sleeves that will be inserted in the grounds around the Memorial.
The Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. will apply 50% of the fundraiser's net proceeds towards
the Freedom Memorial project with the remaining funds allocated for other non-profit
organizations including but not limited to Lorenzo Walker Institute Grants and Boys Scout
Charter Groups. The proceeds will be provided directly from the Rotary Club to the Freedom
Memorial Foundation of Naples FL, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation.
LEGAL CONSIDERATONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and
requires majority vote for approval. —CMG
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. While the Board does
have fees associated with Open Green Space within the Parks Department, this activity would
occur in passive Park space and would not be considered under the Fee Policy.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorizes and approves
support of fundraising efforts by the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Inc. for the Freedom
Memorial at Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park.
