Agenda 07/10/2018 Item #16D 107/10/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Memorandum of Agreement
between the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and Collier County to restore and stabilize the
Lake Trafford shoreline and enhance the lake’s aquatic habitat at Ann Olesky Park and make a
finding that the related Tourist Development Tax expenditure promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: For Collier County (County) to enter into a joint effort with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission (FWC), whereby each party will undertake certain responsibility and obligations as defined
in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the parties to restore and stabilize the Lake Trafford
shoreline.
CONSIDERATIONS: There has been a significant loss of shoreline erosion at Ann Olesky Park due to a
combination of wave action and storm-water runoff. The approximate 400-foot shoreline has experienced
severe erosion, which has not only caused a loss of park area but has caused environmental impacts such
as increased water turbidity and reduced fish populations near the park. In addition, the sediment buildup
at the boat ramp requires constant maintenance to remain safe and operational.
The FWC wishes to join with the County’s shoreline stabilization project to include lake bottom
enhancement plantings and fish attractors. Parks & Recreation’s shoreline stabilization portion will
include a “geo-grid mat” which will be installed along the shoreline to protect against wave action. The
geo-grid mat is a three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure that allows plant growth. FWC’s work
scope for habitat restoration will include gravel bed fish attractors and plantings to enhance fishing and
marine environment along the park perimeter.
The County will provide project and construction management services for this project. FWC will
contribute $138,000 to this project to cover the aquatic enhancement work and shoreline stabilization.
FWC shall reimburse Parks & Recreation within 40 days of receipt of each invoice. Reimbursement shall
include, but not be limited to, earthwork, mobilization/demobilization, plantings, shoreline stabilization,
and lake bottom enhancements (i.e., both the County’s and FWC’s scope of work).
Given the severity of erosion at this location, the Parks and Recreation Division is seeking to use Tourist
Development Tax for the shoreline stabilization. In 2016, Parks and Recreation spent $15,916 on an
erosion control methods report, $8,084 for alternatives and permitting analysis, and $93,162 for design,
permitting, and construction administration services to RWA Inc. Ann Olesky Park has the only public
fishing pier to the largest freshwater lake south of Lake Okeechobee and attracts many tourists to
Immokalee to enjoy the pier and related amenities. To protect the natura l resources of Collier County, the
Division has requested Tourist Development Tax funds in the amount of $260,000 to support this
purpose. The Tourist Development Taxes may be used for shoreline stabilization but not for aquatic
enhancement such as plantings and fish attractors.
The MOA specifies the terms and conditions on which both parties are willing to proceed to provide
mutually beneficial support in their respective efforts to complete work as a unified project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The requested TDC Grant for shoreline stabilization will be provided from the
upcoming FY2019 TDC Grant Request. The FWC and Parks & Recreation funded components of the
project will be handled through Parks Capital Improvement Fund (306).

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item has been reviewed as to form and legality and requires
majority vote for approval. Shoreline stabilization is an authorized use of tourist development taxes
pursuant to Section 125.0104(5)(a)5, which provides that tax revenues may be used for “construction of
beach groins and shoreline protection, enhancement, cleanup, or restoration of inland lakes and rivers to
which there is public access as those uses relate to the physical preservation of the beach, shoreline,
channel, estuary, lagoon, or inland lake or river.” The tax revenue may only be used as defined herein and
therefore may not be used for the aquatic improvements such as plantings and fish replacement. The
budget included in this Executive Summary identifies the funding source for each element of the project
and specifically notes that Staff is seeking tourist development tax (with a separate funding request) for
shoreline stabilization only. -CMG
