Agenda 02/11/2014 Item #16K2 2/11/2014 16.K.2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners directs the County Attorney to work with the County Manager, or his designee, to negotiate with the current owners of 1250 Pine Ridge Road on the matter of the terms and obligations of the Fee Payment Assistance Agreement executed between Collier County and Advanced Medical Center, LLC, and in the event a mutually agreed upon solution cannot be reached, authorize the Office of the County Attorney to initiate any and all legal action including, but not limited to, lien foreclosure. OBJECTIVE: To enforce a Fee Payment Assistance Agreement. CONSIDERATIONS: On May 9, 2006, the Board approved an application by Advanced Medical Center, LLC (Advanced Medical) to participate in the Fee Payment Assistance Program, based on the company's intent to construct a new medical building, serving as the company's headquarters, and create 20 high wage jobs. On July 12, 2006, a Fee Payment Assistance Agreement was executed between Collier County and Advanced Medical for the payment of impact fees totaling $412,146.00 on behalf of the company. For some time Ms. Patterson and I have been in discussions with the Clerk's Internal Audit Department on this matter. A copy of the Clerk's Audit Report is included as a supplement to this item. The Report sets forth the underlying facts and issues in detail, which will not be repeated here. Although there have been ongoing issues with this project for some time, it had been the opinion of the County Attorney that as long as the required jobs were in place, the matter was not yet ripe for legal action. That has recently changed. In May of 2013, staff became aware of a pending foreclosure action on the subject property. Notices were immediately sent to all parties advising them of the terms and obligations of the Fee Payment Assistance Agreement, as directed by the County Attorney's Office. Arising from the foreclosure, a Certificate of Title was issued on May 22. 2013 to Capital Bank, N.A. Since that time the County Attorney has had informal meetings with counsel to the bank. In September 2013. representatives, from Advanced Medical advised the County that the company's business and assets had been transferred to Advance Medical of Naples, LLC. Advance Medical of Naples continued to operate in the building, and provided information stating that they employed 76 people as of October 2013. However, in January 2014 it was reported that the property owners were considering evicting Advance Medical. On February 4, 2014 staff confirmed through a site visit that Advance Medical of Naples was no longer conducting business at 1250 Pine Ridge Road, having relocated to another site in Collier County. The Fee Payment Assistance Agreement requires the creation of 20 high wage jobs, and their retention until the conclusion of the 1 0-year Agreement, which ends October 1, 2017. With the required jobs no longer at the site, this Fee Payment Assistance Agreement was substantially breached. Packet Page -1041- 2/11/2014 16.K.2. FISCAL IMPACT: Uncertain at this time. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners directs the County Attorney to work with the County Manager, or his designee, to negotiate with the current owners of 1250 Pine Ridge Road on the matter of the terms and obligations of the Fee Payment Assistance Agreement executed between Collier County and Advanced Medical Center, LLC, and in the event a mutually agreed upon solution cannot be reached, authorize the Office of the County Attorney to initiate any and all legal action including, but not limited to, lien foreclosure, if necessary.
