EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the first amendment to the Business Location Inducement Grant with
Position Logic, LLC, which clarifies tax payment requirements.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the first a mendment to the
Agreement for Business Location Inducement Grant between Collier County, Florida and Position Logic,
LLC.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 27, 2015, the Board approved its Business Location Inducement
Grant with Position Logic LLC in order to support the diversification of Collier County’s economy and
growth in high technology jobs for Collier citizens by securing the retention and expansion of Position
Logic at a Collier County site. Position Logic provides business solutions that address the areas of
enterprise asset management, in-house GPS asset tracking solutions, hosted GPS tracking, location-based
security solutions, and professional consulting services.
The Business Location Inducement Grant Agreement requires Position Logic to “pay its tax bill in full to
the Tax Collector’s Office annually, on or before the date it is due.” Position Logic has met this
requirement by paying their ad valorem and personal property taxes in full and on time annually,
however, they did not pay a $30 business license tax for the fiscal year of 2015 and there is no provision
in place for paying a business license tax in arrears. Staff recommends that the agreement be amended to
clarify “tax bill” as “ad valorem and personal property taxes”. The expanded lo cation has contributed 57
high technology jobs for Collier Citizens and continues to expand.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Board agreed to assist Position Logic with this project by providing a Business
Inducement Grant paid in four equal annual installments of $29,400 commencing with the first
anniversary of the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, August 11, 2016, for the facility, and will
continue each year thereafter until the full grant amount of $117,600 is paid. No funds have been paid to
Position Logic and resolution of the definition of “local taxes” will allow this incentive to move forward.
Funding is provided in the Economic Development Incentives budget (001- 138763).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic
Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan, which states: “Collier County will support
programs that are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry, as well as the
expansion and retention of existing industries to diversify the County’s economic base.”
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board approval. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to approve the first amendment to the Business Location
Inducement Grant with Position Logic, LLC, which clarifies tax payment requirements.
