Agenda 11/18/2014 Item # 11B11 /18/2014 11. B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a $2,500,000 Grant Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity for funding assistance for the County's Soft Landing Business Accelerator Project and approve necessary budget amendments. OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval of a Grant Agreement for acceptance and administration of a State grant in the amount of $2,500,000 to facilitate the County's Soft Landing Business Accelerator Project. CONSIDERATIONS: On September 10, 2013, Agenda Item I LC., the BCC approved the Office of Business & Economic Development's FY14 Business Plan including a goal of developing a Business Accelerator program. Policy direction from the November 26, 2013 and December 10, 2013 BCC meetings culminated in the May 13, 2014 approval of the Collier County Innovation Accelerator Business Plan including authorizing its implementation. A critical component of the accelerator development process was obtaining a $2,500,000 State of Florida Collier County Soft Landing Accelerator Grant (Grant) to develop a soft landing accelerator network focused on entrepreneurship and growing companies that create jobs. The project essentially is for the establishment of a soft - landing Accelerator Network initially consisting of two Collier County Accelerators. One facility located in Western Collier County will provide expertise to assist burgeoning international and domestic businesses with business plan development, formulation of marketing plans and strategies, venture funding, patent and intellectual property consulting services and distribution logistics. A second facility in Eastern Collier County will offer an agribusiness focused culinary food accelerator equipped with commercial kitchen equipment, food product development and testing equipment, cold food storage, and loading docks, meeting all FDA, USDA and state applicable requirements. The purpose of this project is to recruit companies into Florida that create high value employment opportunities; attract foreign direct investment; improve export opportunities for Florida Companies; and foster an environment for entrepreneurs who desire to stay in the region and build their own business. These Accelerators will play a critical role in diversifying the type of companies in our region, and creating new employment and career opportunities for our work force. Staff has negotiated with the Department of Economic Opportunity to create defined performance metrics comprised of distinct achievable outcomes, each individually acceptable to the State as adequate demonstration of a satisfactory positive return of benefits on the State's investment. Specific performance criteria include a) creation of 208 Job Year Equivalents; or b) demonstration of $12,500,000 of cumulative private sector capital expenditures or venture investment over the five year period of the Grant Agreement. Achievement of these outcomes will serve to more specifically define the terms of the initial clawback letter required by the Governor's Office prior to the Governor signing the budget appropriation bill this past June. DEO staff finds the agreement acceptable and will route it for final signature upon receipt of a DEO Agreement executed by the County. Packet Page -519- 11 /18/2014 11. B. The County will be responsible for reporting and tracking the deliverables delineated in the Grant Agreement, Attachment 1. Collier County is ultimately responsible to the DEO for the project's projected job creation and /or the leveraged private investment in order to evidence a return of investment on the $2,500,000 grant. FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is necessary to recognize State grant revenue in the amount of $2,500,000 within County Manger Grant Fund (713), Project 33388 from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). A budget amendment is also necessary to appropriate the $500,000 of local contribution previously approved by the Board. The local contribution is available within the Economic Development Fund (007). The source of funding for Fund (007) is State gaming distributions. While only a portion of the County contribution is required in the initial budget, the Accelerator Business Plan established a combined FY14 and FY15 County contribution of $500,000. The portion of County contribution funding not used in the first year will be utilized for future Project support. The combined initial Accelerator Project budget inclusive of the EIl agreement (companion item), Eastern Accelerator development and pilot phase management and coordination (FYI 4 expenditures) is $2,790,929. The initial budget of the Accelerator Project is funded with the $2,500,000 Accelerator Grant and an estimated County contribution of $290,929. A five -year Collier County Soft Landing Accelerator Project pro -forma is provided as an attachment. 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 which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base." LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Agreement with Department of Economic Opportunity ( "DEO ") requires written approval of the DEO of any agreement assignment or subcontract for any of the work contemplated. In the event the Agreement with EI1, is not approved by DEO, the parties have a period of twenty days to negotiate and agree upon an amendment. In the event the parties are unable to finally agree upon an amendment in the twenty day period, either parry may terminate. EII is required to manage the accelerators and provide quarterly project activity reports to the County. Collier County is ultimately responsible to the DEO for the project's projected job creation and /or the leveraged private investment, in order to evidence a return of investment on $2,500,000 grant. EII has committed to reasonably cooperate to support the County with respect to the DEO specific requirements related to certain requirements and deliverables. However, non- compliance such as failure to timely commence tasks or produce deliverables may result in penalties being assessed against the County, not EIl. The Agreement with DEO contains a time is of the essence clause. This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for Board approval. —JAB 2 Packet Page -520- 11 /18/2014 11.
