Napks Warts.Opportunity Rappels. Collier County must diversify its economy to create thousands of good jobs, flatten economic downturns, strengthen the middle class and expand tax revenues in order to enhance its quality of life without raising tax rates. Opportunity Naples began as a three-year initiative to fully implement a strategic, working partnership between the private sector and the local government with widespread community engagement and input in order to create a sustainable culture for job creation. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Why did The Partnership for Collier's Future Economy and the County create Opportunity Naples? The Opportunity Naples initiative will strengthen the economic health of the community, with a blueprint to foster sustained growth by retaining and expanding existing businesses, spawning business startups and attracting new businesses to the region. The Opportunity Naples plan took shape over nine months, leveraging the thoughts and opinions of Collier County residents and leaders. Public input and stakeholder perspectives, along with a thorough analysis of the community's competitive position, fed the planning process. The Result was a best-in-class strategic plan comprised of actionable and measurable goals set in a collaborative framework to ensure that Collier County thrives for decades to come. 2. What is Opportunity Naples vision? To advance economic opportunities, attract and retain the next generation of talent, achieve excellence in education and nurture a higher quality of life for working families in the region. 3. How will Collier County benefit from Opportunity Naples? A more diversified local economy will result in stronger existing businesses, an optimized K-20 education/training pipeline, a positive business climate and a competitive location for relocating businesses. Benefits: • Attract new businesses to Collier County, with the likelihood of a more diversified and thus less cyclical economic base; • Strengthen existing businesses and improve their service to the consumer; • Increase opportunities for new and existing members of the workforce; • Expand educational offerings required to meet the needs of a growing and diverse economy; • Expand the variety of goods and service options for consumers; • Reduce dependence on residential taxpayers who now pay 90% of property taxes. 4. What is the significance of the timing of Opportunity Naples? The majority of Collier County's post-recession recovery has been dominated by jobs in sectors that pay less than the county's average annual pay of $41,778. Collier County also lost 13.2% of its workforce during the recession due to the cyclical nature of its industries. The lack of economic diversity was cited as the greatest threat to the local economy by the 1,149 respondents to the Opportunity Naples survey. The critical conclusion: We must diversify our economy and create a culture for creating jobs in sectors beyond our legacy industries of tourism, construction and agriculture. The goal is for the county to better weather any economic downturn and emerge with a stronger and more stable economy. 5. Who oversees Opportunity Naples? The Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce created an Opportunity Naples board of directors. That board oversees the Opportunity Naples Implementation Committee composed of area governmental, business, civic and nonprofit leaders. The Implementation Committee in turn has created three key work groups: 1.) Communications/Marketing; 2.) Community Investment, and 3.) Business Development. The three groups will work to ensure that all key stakeholder groups critical to effective strategic implementation are represented along the way. 6. How will the success of Opportunity Naples be measured over time? The Opportunity Naples board and staff will monitor and assess progress in achieving the objectives and strategic actions detailed in the implementation plan. Metrics have been established to guide stakeholders and implementers in their efforts. These will be reported to the community. • Leadership Advocacy - Statement of commitment signatories - Community forums - Opportunity Naples social media followers • Competitive Position - Business retention and expansion calls - Necessary software purchased and implemented - Development of www.Naplesworks.com and site visit metrics developed • Economic Diversification - Verified sites available to site selection consultants, Enterprise Florida: - Enterprise Florida Marketing Trip participation - Regional (SWFLEDA) Marketing Trip participation 7.

The following four(4) projects have been identified based on deliberate, measured review: I. Water Projects: Requesting: A. Naples Park Phase II $ 1,650,000 B. Golden Gate City $ 700,000 C. Griffin Road $ 750,000 D. Haldeman Weir $ 500,000 Direct state advocacy efforts on behalf of Collier County to include additional support for legislative initiatives that increase opportunities for funding for local water resource projects with direct state support or additional funding through the FDEP and the South Florida Water Management District(SFWMD). 9.10.15 3 Issues to Monitor: The BCC, on behalf of Collier County citizens, advocates for the overall principles of preserving the Home Rule authority of local governments; opposing state Preemption; opposing Unfunded Mandates; and protecting against Trust Fund Diversions. 1. Gulf Consortium — Support Collier County's continued participation in the federal RESTORE Act directives, including the State of Florida's Gulf Consortium. In the Transocean civil settlement, Collier County is eligible for more than $900,000. The federal court found British Petroleum (BP) to be "grossly negligent" in the Deepwater Horizon tragedy of April 2010. Collier County will be submitting a Grant request for Restore Act funding via Component 2 —Comprehensive Plan Component. This will be a significant funding request to execute a comprehensive watershed improvement plan to restore historical watershed flow in the County,improve water quality and restore habitat.The State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for administration of the Restore Component 2— Comprehensive Plan Component. They will provide the project evaluation and funding recommendations to the Governor. Lobbying support will be required to successfully secure this grant funding. 2. Utility Relocation Expense moved to Local Governments—Like the Florida Association of Counties(FAC) and the Florida League of Cities(FLC),the county opposes legislation requiring counties to pay for the relocation of private utilities when such utilities are located within a county-owned right of way and must be moved to accommodate a county project. 3. Tourism & Entertainment Incentives — Protect the current level of funding to VISIT FLORIDA and support increased funding. Also, support Entertainment Incentives for TV, film. 4. Growth Management& Impact Fees—Continue to support growth management regulations and home rule authority over administration of Collier County's existing impact fee program. 5. Public Record Requests — Request legislation adding to current public records law 119.07(1) a provision that includes Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) and Paramedics as exemptions, like firefighters and law enforcement. 6. Communications Services Tax(CST)—Oppose any legislation that would reduce or eliminate the CST; support present CST collections. Loss of CST represents $5 million annual impact to Collier County. 7. Transportation — Oppose diverting funds from the State Transportation Trust Fund to non-transportation projects. A total of$10.1 billion was funded for transportation items for the current FY 2015-16, including $9.3 billion for the Work Program. Also, pursue an increased return on dollars for Collier County, a long-time donor county. Collier County appreciates the efforts of FDOT which continually faces tremendous funding challenges in addressing the infrastructure needs of 67 Florida counties. 8. Libraries—Continue to support State Aid to Libraries and the Southwest Florida Library Network(SWFLN). Last session,there was about$34 million in statewide allocations. 9.10.15 ill 4 9. Gaming—Continue to monitor the new Seminole Gaming Compact being negotiated by Governor Rick Scott and the Seminole tribe. Support at least three(3)% government share of any future gaming proceeds to finance future infrastructure needs. The Seminole gambling casino in Immokalee has plans to expand vertically. 10. Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling-Continue to support permanently prohibiting offshore oil and gas drilling in Florida territorial waters,which are within nine(9)geographic miles from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. 11. Annexation of Isles of Capri and Collier Fire District into Greater Naples Fire Rescue District—Collier County supports continued efforts to consolidate fire services within the unincorporated county, and supports the annexation of Collier Fire District (District One). 9.10.15 Handout 11 i • '4 sw-Fptic upDATE NIVERSITY o FLORID Southwest Florida S U M M E R 2 0 1 5 Research and Education Center 2685 SR 29 North Center Director's Corner Immokalee,FL 34142 Phone:239-658-3400 Fax:239-658-3469 We are pleased to announce that a new citrus &Associates Inc.
