Agenda 10/26/2010 Item #16A11Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 Page 1 of 38 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the application by Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, LLC for the Job Creation Investment Program OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the application by Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, LLC for the Job Creation Investment Program. CONSIDERATIONS: The Economic Incentive Programs, established by Collier County, are intended to: (1) Provide performance -based programs offering financial relief for eligible targeted industry development or expansion projects in Collier County to mitigate the effects of rising development costs; (2) Provide for the economic well being of Collier County residents by providing high - wage employment opportunities in Collier County; (3) Lessen the seasonal cycle of Collier County's economy; and (4) Encourage investment opportunities for new or existing companies thus increasing and diversifying the county's tax base. Collier County, in cooperation with the Economic Development Council (EDC), currently offers six local incentive programs. These programs are Fee Payment Assistance, Property Tax Stimulus, Job Creation Investment, Advanced Broadband Infrastructure Investment, Job Retention Investment and the Fast Track Regulatory Process Program. In order to qualify to participate in the programs, a new or expanding business must meet specified criteria related to the type of industry proposed, number of jobs created and the average wage of the new jobs. Each of the individual programs were adopted by the Board and are codified in Chapter 49 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances. The current Fast Track Regulatory Process Program was adopted by the Board on January 24, 2006, via Resolution No. 2006 -12. On October 4, 2010, the EDC submitted an application on behalf of Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, LLC to be considered for the Job Creation Investment Program. As provided in the Incentive Application, "Specialty (referral) veterinary care is an emerging market that has paralleled similar trends in the development of the human specialty /subspecialty medical care market. " Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida and the companies operating under the umbrella corporation will provide emergency services as follows: • Outpatient emergency services • Impatient /critical case management • Advanced life support • Emergency surgery • Management of specialists' cases after hours Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 Additionally, specialty services will be provided on a referral basis: Page 2 of 38 • Neurology and Neurosurgery • Advanced Imaging • Physical Rehabilitation • Critical Care • Internal Medicine • Orthopedic Surgery • Soft Tissue Surgery Further, the veterinary hospital "will be state of the art in terms of diagnostic capabilities and availability of advanced care ... it will have a Pet Imaging Center, including digital x -ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, CT and superconducting /high -field MRI. The closest imaging center of its kind is located at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville." The resumes of the three veterinarian partners are included in the incentive application package. The doctors have published several peer- reviewed articles in internationally known veterinary and human journals, provided seminars /presentations on local, national and international levels and have received numerous professional accolades. The hospital has also partnered with a successful Naples entrepreneur, Mr. LeNoir Zaiser, to engineer orthopedic implants for animals. In 2004, Mr. Zaiser founded the human implant company, Structure Medical. Dr. Havig (veterinary orthopedic surgeon) plans to work with Mr. Zaiser on his new entrepreneurial endeavor. The company is requesting to participate in the Job Creation Investment Program. Based on the proposal to occupy existing tenant space in the Market Center project adjacent to C.R. 951 /Collier Blvd, the Program requires the creation of 15 new jobs at 115% of the current private sector average wage, which equals $45,178. The company proposes to create 28 jobs at an average wage of $55,000. Therefore, the company exceeds both the job creation and wage criteria. In addition to the wages, the company offers a benefits package with an average annual value of $5,113 (per job) which includes health, dental and vision insurance. In addition to the $5,113 in benefits, the company also offers vacation/sick leave, 401(k) and pet insurance. The company has also requested to participate in the Fast Track Regulatory Process Program for the required improvements to their tenant space. The company qualifies for the program and has been administratively approved for participation by the EDC and Growth Management Division (Planning and Regulation), as provided in Resolution 2006 -12. The local Economic Incentive Programs are performance based. The participating companies must meet specific requirements including jobs created, wage criteria, etc., in order to maintain eligibility to receive funds. FISCAL IMPACT: Job Creation Investment Program: The applicant is eligible for $2,000 per newly created job, for a total of'$56,000, to be paid over three years after the jobs are in place. The jobs are proposed to be created in three phases, with all jobs estimated to be in place by September 30, 2013. Job Creation payments will be paid in the fiscal year following the date the newly created jobs are Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 Page 3 of 38 verified to be in place. Due to the phased implementation of the new jobs, the following proposed schedule, by fiscal year, displays when the Job Creation payments would occur (assuming that all jobs are created and validated): Fiscal Year Potential Amount of Basis of Payment 2013 Payment Commitments — FY 2012 $14,666 First Payment Phase I — 22 jobs FY 2013 $16,667 Second Payment Phase I — 22 jobs First Payment Phase II — 3 jobs FY 2014 $18,667 Third Payment Phase I — 22 jobs Second Payment Phase II — 3 jobs First Payment Phase III — 3'obs FY 2015 $4,000 Third Payment Phase II — 3 jobs $59,753 $68,797 Second Payment Phase III — 3 jobs FY 2016 $2,000 Third Payment Phase III — 3 jobs Total $56,000 28 jobs The following chart provides the current commitments per fiscal year for approved applicants related to the local Economic Incentive Programs and the funding request from Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, LLC. Included on this chart is the incentive request by ValueCentric, LLC which is also on the Board agenda for consideration. Fiscal Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 -2020 Commitments — $192,250 $110,007 $122,966 $ TBD applicants with approved/pending agreements Commitments- N/A — budget $59,753 $68,797 $276,245 applicants covers only approved but still executed require approved agreements and executed agreements ValueCentric $0 $10,250 $13,583 $24,917 request Animal $0 $14,666 $16,667 $24,667 Specialty Hospital request TOTAL $1929250 $1949676 $222,013 $3259829 The dollar amounts under both of the "Commitments" rows above are subject to change after FY 2011 based on any new agreements that are executed between approved program applicants and Collier County. Therefore, after an agreement is executed the associated dollar amounts of the potential incentive Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 Page 4 of 38 awards would be removed from the "Commitments" row for "approved applicants that require approved and executed agreements" and added to the "Commitments" row for "applicants with approved agreements" for each applicable future fiscal year. Likewise, any future approvals for companies to participate in the local incentive programs would have the associated incentive dollar value added to the "Commitments" row for "approved applicants that require approved and executed agreements" until such time that the status changes. Funding for the local economic incentive programs is provided by the General Fund (001). As stated above, the current FY 2011 budget only provides funding for those applicants with executed agreements or agreements pending approval. All of the financial information related to the local incentive programs is reviewed annually as part of the budget preparation in order to accurately provide a recommended funding level for the programs. The Impact Fee Administration Section of the Growth Management Division, in coordination with the staff from the EDC, is responsible for job verification as well as monitoring program compliance. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Objective 3 of the Economic Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan which states: "Collier County will support programs which are designed to promote and encourage the recruitment of new industry as well as the expansion and retention of existing industries in order to diversify the County's economic base." LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the application by Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, LLC for the Job Creation Investment Program.

Give a full description of this project, including the primary business activities functions: Introduction & Overview Specially (referral) veterinary care is an emerging market that has paralleled similar trends in the development of the human specialty /subspecialty medical care market. While 20 -30 years ago most pets received virtually all of their medical care through a primary care provider, the general public now expects "specialists ", with a focus on a particular discipline such as orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, critical care, or neurology, to manage the complex medical and surgical needs of their pets. In providing these services, specialized veterinary medicine has become the standard of care for pets in the United States. Veterinary specialists can market and offer these services only after intensive post (D.V.M.) graduate specialty - specific training, examination, and certification by a recognized specialty college. In 2009, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recognized 20 veterinary specialty colleges. While these represent a broad range of disciplines, The American College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), The American College of Veterinary internal Medicine ((ACVIM) which includes the subspecialty neurology, among other subspecialties), and the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC) represent some of the most important regarding clinical veterinary practice. There are relatively few Board Certified Specialists in each respective field, creating a high demand for specialized expertise and service. For example, in 2009 there were 1,279, 1,022, and 293 world -wide members of the RCVS, the ACVIM, and the ACVECC respectively. Furthermore, there are only 160 neurologists in the United States. In contrast, there are approximately 93,047 practicing veterinarians in the United States. Collectively, veterinary general practitioners and specialists provide health care for an estimated 72 million dogs and 81 million cats in the United States. Specialty veterinary services were initially provided by university and large training institutions, however, since the mid 1980's, market preference has gradually shifted from a "university /training based" model to a smaller, more personal, private practice model. These private practices are able — to combine an equal or higher level of care with a superior level of service to what is offered through a university practice and often at a more convenient location. This shift has been realized largely through the evolution and continued development of the human animal bond between owners and pets, resulting in widespread demand for a high level of medical care for pets, and ultimately, increased revenue for providers of specialty veterinary care. Increased revenue has allowed for the acquisition of expensive, new medical technology in smaller private practice specialty clinics. The inherent inefficiencies of a university based medical practice, as well as owners' perception of a having their pet treated at a "training" facility, has led to the emergence of private practice veterinary specialty centers and clinics equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida (herein, "ASH, LLC ") will be the premier emergency center toi all emergency (ER) cases and specialty referrals in the local community and Southwest Florida, respectively. The ER will be a part of a larger group of specialty doctors operating within the same hospital building and will be co -owned by the specialists within the hospital. It will be staffed by emergency doctors at night and on weekends and will be supported by a board - certified neurologist. surgeon and criticalist/internist 2417 for emergencies and consultations A beard- certif ied radiologist will be available on a consultation basis for radiographic interpretation of imaging studies. Florida Veterinary Neurology and Imaging Center, LLC (herein, "FVNIC, LLC "), operating under the umbrella corporation ASH, LLC, will be the premier referral center for all neurology /neurosurgical cases, advanced outpatient imaging and neurological rehabilitation for the entire Florida Gulf Coast region. A board- certified neurologist/neurosurgeon will see appointments Monday- Friday and be available 24/7 for neurosurgical emergencies and consultations. The availability of an in -house superconducting high -field MRI and a helical CT scanner coupled with a board - certified neurologist/neurosurgeon allows for state -of- the -art diagnostic imaging and treatment capabilities unparalleled in the entire Florida Gulf Coast region. r_ ' Effective 10/07 Page 3 of 11 Client Approved f s ��t�_____ (initials) Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 Page 11 of 38 GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW AOSC/ ACCIM, LLC, operating under the umbrella corporation ASH, LLC, will serve as the premier referral center for veterinary surgery, orthopedic rehabilitation, critical care, and internal medicine in Collier County and Southwest Florida. A board - certified surgeon and a board - certified crfticalist/ internist will see appointments Monday- Friday and be available 24/7 for emergencies and consultations. FVNIC, LLC and AOSC /ACCIM, LLC will be a part of a larger specialty referral and emergency hospital called Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida. There are numerous advantages of operating within a large referral hospital including: stronger brand recognition among the referring veterinarians, a feeder for case referrals from both the ER and other specialists and the benefit of shared expenses for overhead. Market Analysis There are no board - certified veterinary neurologists /neurosurgeon or board - certified veterinary criticalists, as well as no other imaging centers in the southwest (SW) Florida region (Collier, Lee, Hendry, Glades and Charlotte counties). The nearest neurologist/neurosurgeon and imaging center is 100 miles and 290 miles away, respectively. There are two additional board - certified surgeons practicing within the area, however neither surgeon has the training to perform minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and arthroscopy) that our surgeon has. The emergency center will be one of only two emergency hospitals in Collier county and the only one that has specialist support. The nearly 200 veterinarians in the SW Florida region coupled with an affluent and rapidly growing general population should provide for a positive referral environment and supply a substantial caseload to our ER service and our specialist. Services Provided The following services will be provided at night and on the weekends /holidays: • Outpatient emergency services • Inpatient/critical case management • Advanced life supporl • Emergency surgery • Management of specialists' cases after hours Specialty services will be provided on a referral -only basis- Neurology and Neurosurgery • Advanced Imaging • Physical Rehabilitation • Critical Care • Internal Medicine • Orthopedic Surgery • Soft Tissue Surgery Effective 10lQ7 Page 4 of 11 Client Approved _'�'`yr,1 I PP _- _� (initials) Agenda _Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 ' GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW Page 12 of 38 F.

As stated above, we are also considering locating our business in Lee County. Since our clienVpatient base will be from the five county area of Southwest Florida (Lee, Collier, Hendry, Glades and Charlotte), Lee County is situated more centrally and has a higher overall population then Collier County. In contrast, however, the per capita income in Collier County is higher than the other four counties. This is important since Referral Veterinary Medicine is generally based on available discretionary income since pet insurance is not yet mainstream. Furthermore, the cost of real estate and owner /landlord based incentives are more competitive in Lee County, however the appeal of Collier County's cohesive community is compelling. Availability of workforce will also be a consideration; the median age of veterinary support staff is 31 years. Since Lee County is generally considered to have a younger population than Collier County that may impact the ease in which we can hire new employees. Throughout the implementation phase of our new business, it will be important to have strong local government/community support, as well as financial incentives to bolster our growth. Both Lee County and Collier County have Economic Development Councils which offer hiring -based incentives. Cape Coral offers cash incentives in addition to those offered by the County and State of Florida (outlined above). 6. ECONOMIC AND CORPORATE RESPONSi A.

There are two additional board- certified surgeons practicing within the area, however neither surgeon has the training to perform minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and arthroscopy) that our surgeon has_ The emergency center will be one of only two emergency hospitals in Collier County and the only one that has specialist veterinarian support. Out hospital will bring a needed service to the community that currently does not exist The business will be providing jobs for 22 quaiitied individuals with experience in the veterinary industry. Out hospital has also partnered with a successful Naples entrepreneur, LeNoil Zaiser, in engineering orthopedic implants for animals. Mr. Zaiser founded the very successful human medical implant company in 2004 known as Structure Medical. Dr. Havig (veterinary orthopedic surgeon) plans to work with Mr. Zaiser on his new entrepreneurial endeavor: orthopedic implants for animals. /r� Effective 10/07 Page 8 of 11 Client Approved _4 i �'_ (initials) Agenda Item No. 16A11 October 26, 2010 GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW Page 16 of 38 B. Provide a summary of past activities in Florida and in other states particularly as they relate to environmental or growth management impacts. For example, what kind of corporate citizen has the applicant been? Also list awards or commendations. Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida is a new business. Each of the Doctors (Carnes, Havig, Ayoob), however have received numerous accolades throughout their career. Their Curriculum Vitae's are attached to this application. C. List and explain any criminal or civil fines or penalties or ongoing investigations that have been imposed upon the company, its executives, or its affiliates and any recent bankruptcy proceedings of the applicant or its parent company. None D. Provide any additional information you wish to be considered as part of this incentive application or items that may provide supplementary background information on your project or company. Over the past two decades veterinary medicine has followed the human medical field with regard to advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. At the same time, the attitude of pet owners has evolved to include pets as family members. This has led to the public's demand for higher standards and availability of advanced veterinary medical care. Our veterinary hospital will provide a much needed and unparalleled service to both the local community in terms of its emergency services and to the entire Southwest Florida corridor for specialty /referral veterinary services. Since patients must be referred to us by general practice veterinarians and we do not provide preventative care, we will be an extension and strong resource for the existing veterinarians in the region. In fact, it is our goal to advance knowledge of specialized veterinary medicine within the veterinary community. As such, we plan to provide continuing education seminars to the regional veterinarians and get involved in community awareness for the general public. Our veterinary hospital will be state of the art in terms of diagnostic capabilities and availability of advanced care. We will have a Pet Imaging Center, including digital x -ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, CT and superconducting /high -field MRI. The closest imaging center of its kind is located at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville. A Pet Physical Rehabilitation Center is also planned as we have two specificallytrained canine rehabilitation therapists on staff (Drs. Havig and Carnes). As stated above, there are currently no board - certified internists, Criticalists or Neurologist/Neurosurgeons in the five county region. Our board - certified surgeon has advanced orthopedic training which is currently unavailable in the region. The fact that we can provide these much needed services to Southwest Florida under one roof will be a tremendous benefit to pets and their owners.
