EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, in its capacity as the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), approves a Resolution modifying the CRA Bylaws, by changing the timing of its annual meeting and election of Officers back to January. OBJECTIVE: To change the month during which the CRA holds its annual meeting from March back to January, so that the election of the Chairs and Vice-Chairs for both the CRA and the BCC occur at the same meeting. CONSIDERATIONS: This Executive Summary is in furtherance of a request from the Chair. On March 14, 2000,the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2000-83 which established the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency. The areas of operation of the CRA consist of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area and the Bayshore/Gateway Community Redevelopment Area. The purpose of the CRA is to undertake and implement improvements as provided for in Florida Statutes and the adopted redevelopment plans. Florida Statutes also require that on or before March 31 of each year, a report of the CRA activities for the preceding fiscal year be filed with the governing body. The CRA's bylaws are outlined in CRA Resolution 2001-98, and establish, among other things, the month during which the CRA annual meeting is held. This was originally January and customarily the meeting during which the CRA appointed or reaffirmed its Chair and Vice- Chair. At staff's request, in order to help CRA staff with their annual report the CRA adopted Resolution No. 07-72A which changed the month of the annual meeting to March. At the request of Commissioner Hiller, this Office consulted with the current CRA staff and confirmed that they had no issue with returning the annual meeting, and the selection of the Chair and Vice Chair, back to January. The proposed CRA Resolution amends Article V of the CRA bylaws accordingly. FISCAL IMPACT: None. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, in its capacity as the Community Redevelopment Agency, approves the attached CRA Resolution amending its bylaws and providing that the CRA annual meeting shall be held in January.

Agenda Item No. 14A March 27,2007 Page 1 of 19 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommend the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting in the capacity of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) review and approve the 2006 Annual Report of the CRA, required by Florida Statute 163.356(3)(c), direct the County Manager or his designee to file the Annual Report with the Clerk of Courts and publish notice of the filing, and approve a Resolution to modify the CRA Bylaws,as provided for within Resolution 2001-98. OBJECTIVE: To have the BCC, acting in the capacity of the CRA, to review and approve the 2006 Annual Reports (Exhibit "A")of the CRA required by 163.356(3)(c), Florida Statutes, by March 31; direct the County Manager or his designee to file the Annual Report with the County Clerk and publish notice of the filing, and to approve a Resolution to modify the CRA Bylaws, which require an annual meeting be held in January, to require the annual meeting to be held in March to align with the Florida Statute fiscal annual report March requirement. CONSIDERATION: The Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)was established pursuant to Resolution 2000-83 adopted on March 14, 2000 by the BCC pursuant to Part III, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The area of operation of the CRA consists of the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Area and the Bayshore/Gateway Community Redevelopment Area. The purpose of the CRA is to undertake and implement improvements as provided for in Florida Statutes and the adopted redevelopment plans. 163.356(3)(c), Florida Statutes require that on or before March 31 of each year, a report of the CRA activities for the preceding fiscal year be filed with the governing body. Attached are the 2006 individual budgets for the Immokalee CRA and the Bayshore/Gateway CRA(Exhibit`B"and Exhibit "C"), as well as the 2006 annual report which describes the activities of each CRA during the reporting period. Please note that a complete audit of the 2006 CRA financials was performed along with an overall audit of Collier County, pursuant to Florida Statute Sec. 163.387(8), and is not a part of this report. In addition to the review of the annual report, the executive summary is seeking to modify the bylaws which govern the purpose and requirements of the CRA. Direction to modify the bylaws as described was provided by the Board during the January 23, 2007, public hearing. Within Resolution 2001-89, the CRA is required to hold an annual meeting in January of each year. The resolution is absent of specifics on subject matter of the required meeting, but has been utilized in the past by the CRA to appoint or reaffirm the Chair and Vice-Chair for the CRA. The timing of the requirement for filing the annual report in March by 163.356(3)(c)Florida Statutes, and the local requirement of the annual meeting in January by Resolution 2001-98 provides for an inefficiency within the process. This executive summary is proposing to modify the bylaws to require the annual meeting in March. The bylaws within Article IX Amendments allow for the bylaws to be Packet Page-1107- 12/10/2013 16.B.4. Agenda Item No. 14A March 27,2007 Page 2 of 19 amended at any duly constituted meeting of the CRA by an affirmative vote by the majority of the CRA members present. The only change in the CRA Bylaws associated with Resolution 2001-98 is for the requirement of the annual meeting to be held in March and not January as currently required. All other bylaws relating to the CRA have been left in tact. FISCAL IMPACT: None. The express purpose of this action is to direct the filing of the 2006 Annual Report with the Collier County Clerk of Courts and publication of the filing. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the Office of the County Attorney. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) acting in the capacity of the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) review and approve the 2006 Annual Report required by 163.356(3)(c), Florida Statute and direct the County Manager or his designee to file the 2006 annual report with the Clerk of Courts and publish notice of the filing and review and approve a Resolution to modify the CRA Bylaws, to change the annul meeting requirement from January to March.
