Provide an explanation of the process by which the proposed activity was determined to be a priority for the Collier County disaster recovery initiative. In 2006 the CRA partnered with the Collier County Stormwater Department for the construction of the 3.6 acre stormwater pond in the Gateway Triangle (Phase I completed in Spring, 2008) by acquiring $804,000 worth ofland and donating it for pond construction. In the wake of Tropical Storm Fay, the commercial areas of the Gateway Triangle drained quickly due to the new pond; however, residential areas in the Gateway Triangle saw no benefit because there is no fully-connected, in-tact neighborhood-level drainage system (i.e. yard swales and culverts )--in some areas, the flooding may have been exasperated by the pond due to its elevated walls which changed the sheet flow of the stormwater runoff. (See attached newspaper article for residential reaction to the pond in the wake of Tropical Storm Fay in "Documentation of Storm Related Damage," No.3 in Attachment I,) The CRA responded to residents' complaints about the flooding by hiring a local engineering firm to (1) evaluate existing drainage in the residential section of the . Gateway Triangle, (2) recommend improvements to the system to alleviate flooding in the area, (3) develop a stormwater management plan and (4) provide budget cost estimates. The Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Project for the Gateway Triangle Residential Area ("Project") was recommended from this effort and has the support of the Collier County StOlIDwater Department, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), the Local Mitigation Working Group, and the Collier County Board of Commissioners. The CRA has reached out to public stakeholders through public meetings and will continue to reach out to the residents as the project is implemented. The CRA has worked closely with SFWMD and the County Stormwater Department to ensure that the Project would be conceptually acceptable. All entities recognize that a conceptual permit, already in existence, conditionally allows the implementation of the Project. The Collier County Board of Commissioners adopted the plan which recommends the Project on November 10, 2009 and charged the CRA with implementation (see executive summary in Attachment 2). Thus, the Project has been prioritized for the Collier County Disaster Recovery Initiative. 2. How will successful completion of the proposed activity benefit Collier County and its resid ents? The successful completion of the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Project for the Gateway Triangle Residential Area ("Project") will benefit Collier County and its residents by decreasing street flooding and flooding of structures; thus reducing insurance claims and 5lPage .~ displacement ofresidents from damaged homes, and eliminating mold and mildew occurrences that would threaten the health and welfare of this low- to moderate-income neighborhood. During heavy rain events many streets in the Gateway Triangle are impassable, In more severe rain events the flooding is severe enough that built structures are damaged-a total of fifty-nine flood insurance claims were filed from July 1985 through Jlme 30, 2007 with a total of$507,622 paid claims in the Gateway Triangle Area alone. Successful completion of the Project will improve drainage and decrease flooding by establishing a fully-connected swale and culvert system with outfalls to Naples Bay and the stormwater pond. The general benefits derived from the Project include better access to the area for emergency service vehicles during times of heavy rain, ability for regional traffic to pass through if necessary, fewer missed days of business for businesses located in the area, and fewer missed days of business or school for residents who might otherwise be flooded in their homes. An additional benefit from this project will be a decrease in flood- related damages to personal property. 3. Explain why the proposed activity in need in Collier County. -~^, The need for this activity is rooted in the fact that the Gateway Triangle Area suffers from a gap in govemment services related to public right-of-way stonnwater drainage. "Secondary" and "Primary" stormwater management systems, such as canals, stormwater ponds, etc., do have local funding through the South Florida Water Management District and the Collier County Stormwater Department. However, Collier County policy toward "Tertiary" systems relegates oversight responsibilities of these systems to private citizens. That local policy creates a gap in government services for Tertiary projects-such as yard swale and driveway culvert construction-because such projects are not entitled to local funding (there is only funding for maintenance to existing swales in the public right-of-way and driveway culverts are always the responsibilities of private property owners). This policy is fairly effective in Southwest FIOlida where the many gated communities and neighborhood associations assume these financial responsibilities. However, the Gateway Triangle community has no neighborhood association and the residents are econornically distressed-90.7 percent of the students enrolled at Shadowlawn Elementary (iocated in the center of the Gateway TIiangle) receive free or reduced-rate lunches due to economic hardship (Collier County School District, November 5, 2009). This community has neither the private resources nor the economic capacity to fill the gap in services created by Collier County stormwater policy; therefore, local policies regarding stormwater drainage, the economic distress of this community, and the vulnerability of the area to flooding have converged to create a tremendous need for funding for the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Project. I REASON FOR CDBG/DRI FUNDING 1. Describe why CDBG/DRI funding is needed to implement and complete the proposed project. ,- The CRA lacks sufficient funding to implement and complete the entire project as proposed. In discussions about the Project with the Collier County Stonnwater Department and SFWMD, it has been indicated that these agencies (as a policy) do not fund the construction of Tertiary drainage systems (but it is Collier County policy to maintain Tertiary drainage improvements in the public 6lPage '-- ,....---...- --. --,"._'-' , .. .,,-.-..........., ._'m_ right-of-way, such as swales, once constructed). Therefore, no funding exists at the CRA or at local agencies to implement and complete the Project. 2. How does the proposed activity relate to Tropical Storm Fay? Provide documentation as needed (may be attached to the proposal), The Gateway Triangle is well-lmown to be an area that suffers from frequent flooding. In 2008, the Collier County Stormwater Department completed Phase I construction of a stormwater drainage pond between the commercial and residential sections of the Gateway Triangle Area, When Tropical Storm Fay hit Collier County, the commercial area drained and there was little known damage there. However, the residential area had heavy flooding for up to three days in areas. See photos in Attachment 3. This incidcnt moved the CRA to engage a local engineering firm, Q. Grady Minor, to study the area and mal(e recommendations to improve drainage for future storms, The Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Project for the Gateway Triangle Residential Area is the project recommended from this post-Fay study. DOCUMENTATION OF STORM RELATED DAMAGE I 1. Provide pictures of the proposed site to document the condition before Tropical Storm Fay. See Attachment I, No.1 2. Provide reports, such as FEMA, Damage Assessment, insurance, police, etc., to document damage caused by Tropical Storm Fay (may be attached to the proposal). If no such reports exist, provide an explanation for their absence. See Attachment 1, No.2 3. Provide copies of any newspaper articles about storm damage that is relevant to the proposed project. If none, indicate by "N/A". See Attachment 1, No.3 4. Provide copies, on DVD, of any television news stories about storm damage that is relevant to the proposed project, If none, indicate by "N/A". N/A 5. Include copies of any reports generated by code enforcement, public works or other related agency about storm damage that is relevant to the proposed project. If none, indicate by "N/A". See Attachment 1, No.5 7lPage ."'-" PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. What is the purpose of the project? Be specific and concise. The purpose of this project is to alleviate residential flooding and improve the health and welfare of the community by constructing swales and culverts in the public right-of-way in the residential section of the Gateway Triangle Area. This swale-cuIvert system will connect to the stormwater drainage pond and an outfall at US-41 into Naples Bay. This Project will create a single, holistic, fully-connected stormwater drainage system to alleviate flooding problems in the Gateway Triangle Area. 2. What national objective(s) does the proposed project address? a. [;gJ Primarily benefits low to moderate income (LMI) persons b. [;gJ Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight c. [;gJ Addresses a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such need .'"~ 3.

"It should not have happened at all," said resident Kirk Sanders, 42, Wednesday after assessing the damage caused by the foot of water that overtook his property off Pelton Street. "The (Collier County) Board of County Commissioners is responsible for this." However, county officials said Wednesday that with only the first portion of the Gateway Triangle Retention Pond project completed, the pond did what it was designed to do - in spite of a lot of forces working against it. "Even though it was bad here yesterday, I've seen worse," Jerry Kurtz, principal project manager for Collier's Gateway Triangle pond project, said Wednesday. Fay made landfall in Collier on Tuesday morning. "I would seriously disagree with anyone that said the pond made (the flooding) worse, We're really happy with what we're seeing today." Over the years, streets in the East Naples Gateway Triangle neighborhood have become notorious for turning into small rivers during rainstorms and the occasional tropical storm, The flooding is due, in part, to several portions of the neighborhood being at or below sea level. So to help ease the flooding problem in the neighborhood, Collier County began working on the possibility of building a retention pond in 1999. The dual purpose of the project would be to divert the stormwater runoff from neighbors' yards and helping purify the water before it reaches area waterways. Construction on the two-part project, which will ultimately house a 5.44-acre pond and , , , , ht+..... {In..ntrn ............l""..........,."'un """.......I"""""'H.../'1(\{)Q l"3nrr!"}l/""'.,....t_nQ.....l"'c_l"p<;>iApnfC'_llncpf_l"pfpT'lti.....n_nnn 1':>/11/'J00Q East Naples residents upset retention pond didn't stop flooding: naplesnews.com Page 2 of3 passive park within 6,29 acres, began earlier this year. Phase I, which involves digging out the first portion of the 5.44-acre pond, is being done by Triangle-based D.N. Higgins and cost $1.1 million. Kurtz said the retention pond is about 7 feet deep during normal weather, and could. hold up to three more feet of water in a hurricane or tropical storm. In addition, any excess water would be able to drain into a canal through an access point at the end of the pond. But Fay had other plans Tuesday, which didn't surprise Chuck Gunther, a long-time resident and the Gateway Triangle representative on the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency's Advisory Board. "The problem was the Gulf (tide) coming back," said Gunther. "That's been the problem from 35 years." Gunther said that even he was surprised with the effect Fay had on the area. "I've never seen water this high," Gunther said Wednesday. -'-~ Dave Jackson, the executive director for the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency, agreed with Kurtz, Jackson also pointed out that the main reason residents saw more water ultimately came down to one word - hydrology. Kurtz said the problem would be eliminated once Phase II is done. "The tide was restricting the outflow (on Tuesday)," said Kurtz. , I , , ! ' The second part of the project includes the installation of pipes and pumps to remove excess water from the pond, with the most costly portions requiring pipes to be placed underneath both U.S. 41 and Davis Boulevard. Kurtz said once that phase is done, the pumps will be able to overcome the tide. And in spite of the county's budget tightening, Kurtz said, the Gateway pond would remain a top priority, but that it may take up to three years to finish the project 100 percent and $3.6 million, Nevertheless, Kurtz said, even after the project is done, drainage could still be an Issue. - "It's still a low lying area," said Kurtz, "Drainage is never going to be superb or great." , , However, Gunther said, relief solutions have been long promised, but none have yet to ht1n'/lwww n"nlp<npw< c.nm/npw</?OOR/m",/?I/p"<t-n"nlp<-re<ioenf<-nn<et-retenlinn-nnn... 12/11/2009 ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to accept the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Plan for Gateway Triaugle Residential Area as presented by the Collier County Commnnity Redevelopment Agency; recognizing how the plan complements the County's secondary system project for the Gateway Triangle; anthorize the County Manager, or his designee, to provide support to the CRA where needed; and approve CRA staers approach to execute the plan. (Source of Fnnding - CRA TIF Fnnd 187) -----------------~--------------------------~--------------------------------------------------------------------- OBJECTIV:&: For the Board of County Commissioners to accept the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Plan for Gateway Triangle Residential Area as presented by the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency; recognizing how the plan complements the County's secondary system project for the Gateway Triangle; authorize the County Manager, or his designee, to provide support to the CRA where needed; and approve CRA staff s approach to execute the plan. .- BACKGROUND: Working together with the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the County Stormwater Section of the Transportation Division has been designing and constructing the Gateway Triangle Area secondary system improvements to include a stormwater treatment pond with storm water discharge facility improvements. The partially completed pond is located between the commercial and residential areas of the Triangle just south of Linwood Avenue. The first section of the stormwater treatment pond was completed in November of 2007. Construction bids are currently being solicited by the County for the remainder of this project with contract award anticipated in December of this year with a 2010 dry-season construction schedule. The project will include expansion of the treatment pond and construction of a stormwater pumping station with installation of underground collection and discharge pipes. This facility will function as the main stormwater receiving area and treatment pond for the Gateway Triangle with both gravity flow and pumped stormwater discharge. -- , Moving upstream and supplementing this effort, the CRA commissioned a study of the adjacent residential area's roadside system of stormwater swales. The study referred to as the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Plan for Gateway Triangle Residential Area (Exhibit A - the Plan's executive summary), recommends a planned approach to reconstructing the neighborhood's tertiary water management system. With the anticipated completion of the downstream receiving pond and outfall improvements, initiation of improvements to the upstream roadside neighborhood swale system can begin. This work will improve the conveyance and storage capacity of the tertiary stormwater system in the residential area improving flooding attenuation and runoff conveyance efficiency. CONS;IDERATIONS: The plan for the residential area documents the existing tertiary swale system in the Triangle, recommending improvements to alleviate neighborhood flooding, providing cost estimates (Exhibit B) to complete the work in phases, and discusses various funding sources. Proposed work includes swale reconstruction and installation of new driveway culverts and roadway cross drains. - --',,--_._,~~-..."- "-''''~~'"_.,,.--'- Agenda Item No. 16G1 November 10, 2009 Page 2 of 10 The first phase of work is recommended at the following locations: . Shadowlawn Drive at Elementaty School . Shadowlawn Drive North of Elementaty School . Francis Avenue . Linwood Avenue . Pineland Avenue (north of Lois St.) . Pelton Avenue (north of Winifred Ave.) The Budget Estimate of costs for these improvements is approximately $1,000,000,00 to $1,100,000.00. Phase two improvements are recommended at the following locations: . Pelton Avenue (south of Winifred Ave.) . Pineland Avenue (south of Lois St.) . Winifred Avenue . Manorca Ave. (between Pineland and Pelton Ave.) The Budget Estimate of costs for these improvements is approximately $200,000.00 to $220,000.00. Phase three improvements are recommended at the fo llowing locations: . Lee Street . Manorca Ave. (west of Pelton Ave, and east of Pinel and Ave.) . Bayside Street . Andrew Drive . Connecticut A venue . Caledonia Avenue . Calusa Avenue . Francis A venue (East) . Linewood Avenue (East) The Budget Estimate of costs for these improvements is approximately $1,500,000.00 to $1,600,000.00. The CRA's acquisition of funding and completion of the Plan's tertiary system improvement recommendations will go far in alleviating flooding within the residential portion of the Gateway Triangle by conveying stormwater runoff to the secondary system being completed by the county. During unusual or long-duration storm events there may be some flooding, but these improvements will reduce flooding and its duration. .~..". FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the County General Fund associated with accepting this Plan, The tertiary improvements will be funded by the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Agency with CRA TlF funds, plus any grants the CRA receives. Routine infrastructure maintenance of the existing system or completed improvements within road ROW will be performed by the County Transportation Division. If available grant funding is secured I Agenda Item No. 16G 1 November 10, 2009 Page 3 of 10 and approved by the Board of County Commissioners sitting as the CRA Board, then construction plan preparation should occur for the portion of the system that is funded. ;LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS,: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office, and is legally sufficient for Board action. (STW) GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Plan for Gateway Triangle Residential Are8 is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Drainage Sub-element of the Growth Management Plan for Collier County Stormwater Management. RECOMMENDATION: For the Board of County Commissioners to accept the Tertiary Stormwater System Improvement Plan for Gateway Triangle Residential Area as presented by the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency; authorize the County Manager, or his designee, to provide support to the CRA where needed; and approve CRA staff's priorities and pursuit of funding sources.

[Effective Date: February 18, 2004 (Revised: April 1, 2006)] ~ 5330-1. Purpose. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that County Departments coordinate grant application efforts; to provide a mechanism for assisting Departments in grant preparation and submission; to review all' applications for compliance, consistency and appropriateness prior to submittal to the grantor; to track and monitor grants for financial auditing and budget purposes; and to ensure that more than one department does not submit for the same grant program at the same time if the grantor permits only one application per applicant. ".-.., ~ 5330-2. Concept. Collier County continually strives to increase and enhance the quality and quantity of public services, facilities and infrastructure by maximizing the use of federal, state and local grants. The role of the Grants Coordinator is to coordinate and assist departments in these grant efforts, and to monitor and track existing and future grants. Recommendations provided by the Grants Coordinator are advisory in nature and shall not be construed to restrict any Administrator. All recommendations are provided solely to improve the chances of successful grant applications and proper management of awarded grant funds. A separate Grant Manual is being prepared to guide all County Departments through the grant process. Check the grants Web site regularly for updates. These procedures are not subject to nor to be amended by any current or future contradictory resolutions with the exception of specific resolutions delegating specific authority at the request or requiremeut of the grantor. ~ 5330-3. Procedure. A. Preparation of Grant Applications: The Grants Coordinator is available to help with every stage of grant preparation, including locating, researching, writing, assembling, arranging - 1. The portions of this procedure related to preparation, review, submittal and approval and agreement processes do not apply to Constitutional Officers, or to those departments that manage enfftlement funds or formula funds (Including grants tbat support the administration 01), such as Community Development Block Grant Entitlement funds, or funds programmed by an outside agency, such as the Florida Department of Transportation and employ staff specifically for the purpose of managing these funds. However, these entitles must supply the Grants Coordinator with information about each grant, such as project title, grantor, CFDA/CSFA number, contract/agreement number, project manager, beginning and ending dates, grant amount, match amount, etc., for Inclusion In the Grants Database, along with caples of documentation related to this informatioD for the Central Grants Filc. These departments should continue to follow their own established procedures, but may consider adopting the enclosed procedures if efficiency and effectiveness will be improved by doing 50. These departments are still invited to avail themselves of assistance from the Grants Coordinator for any issues related to these grants or project funds. 5330:1 69 - IS - 20CJ7 - .--..., --_._~~._- -".~~"-,,--' ~ 5330-3 OFFICE OF COUNTY MANAGER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ~ 5330-3 for desktop publishing and printing, and submittal. Each department submitting an application must assign a project manager to work closely with the Grauts Coordinator and provide appropriate data and project information throughout the grant application, approval and management process. B. Grant Review Process: The Grants Coordinator, or designee, will review all grant applications prior to submission to the grantor, A copy of the application, with required review sheet and all grant guidelines, must be fOlwarded to the Grants Coordinator prior to the grant being added to the automated agenda system for approval by the Board of County Commissioners, (I) If a grantor limits the number of applications that can be submitted at one time or requires that multiple applications be prioritized, it is the responsibility of the Administrators of the respective divisions, with assistance from the County Manager and Grants Coordinator if necessary, to select the proposal to be submitted or to prioritize the proposals. If, however, the grantor specifically requires such decision to be made by the elected body, the Board of County Commissioners will make that dccision. C. Approval and Submittal: (I) The Board of County Commissioners must approve all grant applications, including applications that do not require a signature, are submitted online or allow an individual other than the Chairman of the Board to sign. (2) The Grants Coordinator, or designee, will approve each Executive Summary in the automated agenda system. Guidelines for preparation of the executive summary and example executive summaries are available on the grants Web site, (3) All grant applications that require signature of the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners also require review by the County Attorney's office, A special Request for Legal Services form is available on the grants Web .site for this purpose. (4) In the event that the grant deadline is prior to the deadline for items to be submitted for a scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting or the deadline is prior to the next Board of County Commissioners meeting, the project manager must contact the Grants Coordinator to discuss options for emergency submittals or after-the-fact approval. If emergency submittal is not possible, these policies, to the greatest extent then allowed by law, rule or regulation, delegate to the County Manager, or designee, authority to sign the grant application; however, the project manager must submit an executive summary for the next Board of County Commissioners for the required after-the-fact approval. (5) Only the following reasons constitute justification for the after-the-fact proccss: (a) The grant is announced and the application is due within one month or less and the deadline has been missed for the next available Board of County Commissioners meeting; 5330:2 09 - 15 ~ :Z007 m'., -".- ---._~ ~._.- ... ~ 5330-3 GRANT COORDINATION ~ 5330-3 (b) Department co=itments to emergency situations or events beyond normal operations probibit staff from baving time to develop application in coordination witb Grant Coordinator; or (c) The Board of County Co=issioners is not in session for a few weeks at a time (e.g. swnmer break). (6) Over usage or unjustifiable reliance on tbe after-the-fact process is not acceptable and the County Manager has the right at any point to disapprove the snbmittal of an application. (7) The only exception to the requirement that the Board of County Commissioners sign a grant application is when a grantor provides specific authority and requires that the Board of County Commissioners delegate the authority to another individual or if the application is to be submitted online. In these instances, however, the Board of County Commissioners must by executive swnmary and, if appropriate, resolution or other form of approval, delegate authority to that individual for that specific grant application and such approval must be granted for each and every application submitted. D. Notice of Grant Awards: Notice of a grant award may come in a variety of forms, including an award letter, an agreement, an e-mail or even a phone call. Regardless of the form of notice, the Grants Coordinator must be notified and a "good news" memorandum prepared by the project manager. The "good news" memo should be sent to the Board of County Co=issioners and copied to the County Manager, the Grants Coordinator, the Finance Department, the Co=unication and Customer Relations Department, the appropriate Division Administrator and Department Director, and any other individuals directly involved in the administration of the project or requiring notice of the award. The timing of the "good news" memo is left to the discretion of the project manager, but must be completed as soon as possible after execution of the grant agreement. E. Grant Award Documents. (I) Most grants require execution of an agreement, contract or other document for formal acceptance. (2) The Grants Coordinator, or designee, will approve each executive swnmary in the automated agenda system. Guidelines for preparation of the executive swnmary and example Executive summaries are available on the grants Web site. (3) The Board of County Co=issioners must approve acceptance ofthe grant, unless the Board delegated this specific authority to the Division Administrator during any stage of the application approval process (if allowed by the grantor). Acceptance of each grant may require signature on an acceptance letter, grant agreement/contract or other acceptance document. (4) As is the case with the application process, in the event that the grant agreement deadline is prior to the deadline for items to be submitted for a scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting or the deadline is prior to the next Board of 5330:3 09 - 15 ~ 2007 -_._-_.,--....-.~.__..._' _w~_......_~'"...., ~ 5330-3 OFFICE OF COUNTY MANAGER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ~ 5330-3 County Commissioners meeting, the proj ect manager must contact the Grants Coordinator to discuss options for emergency submittals or after-the-fact approval. If emergency submittal is not possible, these policies, to the greatest extent then allowed by law, rule or regulation, delegate to the County Manager, or designee, authority to sign the grant award document; however, the project manager must submit an executive summary at the next available Board of County Commissioners for the required after-the-fact approval. This process is only pennitted if the grantor agrees that it is acceptable in order to meet their dcadline; however, most grantors will allow additional time for the regular Board of County Commissioners approval.
