EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Local Advisory Board members and CRA staff attendance at
Florida Redevelopment Association 2010 Annual Conference including payment of
attendees' registration, lodging, travel and per diem expenses from the Bayshore Gateway
Triangle Trust Fund (187) budget and declare the conference attendance and training
received as valid public purpose.
OBJECTIVE: For the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve Local Advisory
Board members and CRA staff attendance at Florida Redevelopment Association 2010 Annual
Conference including payment of attendees' registration, lodging, travel and per diem expenses
from the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Trust Fund (187) budget and declare the conference
attendance and training received as valid public purpose.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to County Resolution No. 99 -410, the Board of County
Commissioners has determined that attendance at functions or activities that are educational in
nature or professionally trade- related serves as a valid public purpose, provided that said
functions reasonably relate to Collier County matters.
Florida Statute 163.356(3)(d) - "Creation of community redevelopment agency" — states: `At any
time after the creation of a community redevelopment agency, the governing body of the county
or municipality may appropriate to the agency such amounts as the governing body deems
necessary for the administrative expenses and overhead of the agency....'
Florida Statute 163.387(6) - "Redevelopment trust fund" — states: `Moneys in the redevelopment
trust fund may be expended from time to time for undertakings of a community redevelopment
agency as described in the community redevelopment plan for the following purposes, including
but not limited to: (a) Administrative and overhead expenses necessary or incidental to the
implementation of a community redevelopment plan adopted by the agency.'
Collier County Ordinance 2000 -42 establishes the Redevelopment Trust Fund and appoints the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as the governing body of the Community
Redevelopment Agency and the trustee of the Redevelopment Trust Fund.
CONSIDERATIONS: Annually the Local Advisory Board recommends the CRA Board
approve travel and training funding for any Advisory Board member and CRA staff desiring to
attend the Florida Redevelopment Association's (FRA) Annual Conference. This year's
conference is October 13 - 15, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. Currently, the CRA Executive Director
and four staff desire to attend and one or more Local Advisory Board members may attend. The
maximum cost per person is approximately $839 consisting of registration ($295 per person),
lodging ($149 /night per person) as well as group mileage, parking fees and per diem expenses.
Actual cost per person will vary depending on group travel, number days attended and times of
departure from and return to Naples.

PUBLIC PURPOSE: To expand the Advisory Board member's and CRA stafi's professional
development. To attend the annual conference of the Florida Redevelopment Association for
training and education about CRAB and their powers and functions, and redevelopment programs
available to CRAB to eliminate slum and blight. Through attendance at conference lectures and
tours, attendees will become aware of successful programs and projects in other Florida CRAB
and learn from other CRA experiences.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient budget exists within the FY109 & proposed FYI Bayshore
Gateway Triangle Fund 187 (Travel Professional Development) to fund the requested conference
attendance. Registration fees ($295 /person) will be paid in advance from FY 10 budget, and
lodging ($149 /night/person), travel and per diem will be paid from proposed FYI I budget.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office
and is legally sufficient for Board action. (HFAC)
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve attendance of one or more Local Advisory Board
members and all CRA staff at the Florida Redevelopment Association 2010 Annual Conference;
authorize payment of attendees' registration, lodging, travel and per diem from the Bayshore
Gateway Triangle Trust Fund (Fund 187) travel budget; and declare the training received as
