Agenda 09/10/2013 Item #16B3 9/10/2013 16.B.3.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Request that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting in its capacity as
the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approve a 180-day extension to the
previously approved grant agreement between the CRA and Paralegal & Notary Multi Services,
Inc. for the reimbursement of$20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the
Immokalee CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Program and authorize a Budget Change
Resolution to the Tentative FY 14 Budget to provide sufficient budget.
OBJECTIVE: To receive CRA approval of a 180-day extension to the previously approved grant
agreement between the CRA and Paralegal & Notary Multi Services, Inc. for the reimbursement of
$20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the Immokalee CRA Commercial Facade
Improvement Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 11, 2012, Agenda Item 16B4, the BCC approved a grant
application and related grant agreement between the CRA and Paralegal&Notary Multi Services,Inc. for
the reimbursement of $20,000 in facade improvement expenses as administered under the Immokalee
CRA Commercial Facade Improvement Grant Program.
Page two, paragraph seven of the approved standard grant agreement stipulates that "If the GRANTEE
fails to make the improvements pursuant to the terms of this agreement, including construction start
within 90 days of execution of the grant agreement and completion within 12 months of execution of the
grant agreement, the award shall be deemed revoked and GRANTEE shall be entitled no funding".
The owner of Paralegal&Notary Multi Services,Inc. has requested a 180-day extension to this provision
which would extend his grant performance period deadline from September 11,2013 to March 9,2014.
FISCAL IMPACT: As currently established the Tentative FY 14 Immokalee CRA budget does not have
budget in place for the payout of the grant under discussion. However, cost savings generated in FY 13
will result in a larger than anticipated carry forward of fund balance into FY 14. If the Board authorizes
the proposed time extension for the grant, staff recommends amending the Tentative FY 14 Budget to
recognize expected additional carry-forward. Specifically, the proposed change would increase the
budgeted carry forward by $20,000 and increase the Façade Grant expenditure budget by the same
amount. This change in the FY 14 budget would be presented to the Board as a Budget Change
Resolution at the second Budget Adoption Hearing scheduled for September 19th
CONSISTENCY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN: The Immokalee Commercial Facade
Grant Program furthers the programs and projects within the budgetary and policy guidance and
directives of the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Board of County Commissioners in
furtherance of Policy 4.2 of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan which reads as
follows:
"****The Immokalee Area Master Plan addresses conservation, future land use, population, recreation,
transportation, housing, and the local economy. Major purposes of the Master Plan are coordination of
land uses and transportation planning, redevelopment or renewal of blighted areas, and the promotion of
economic development."
