Attachment (1) 1683 Agenda Item No. 13133 July 27, 2010 Pagel of 67 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation for the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to approve a CRA Resolution amending the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 2011; approve the revised Grant Programs and Application processes; and approve the form of each individual Grant Agreement. (Fiscal Impact: None.) OBJECTIVE: To approve a CRA Resolution to amend and renew the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Agency's Grant Programs, Application processes and forms of the individual Grant Agreements. BACKGROUND: Florida Statute 163.370 - "Powers; counties and municipalities, community redevelopment agencies" — authorizes the CRA to carry out plans for a program of voluntary or compulsory repair and rehabilitation of buildings or other improvements in accordance with the community redevelopment plan. Collier County Ordinance 2002 -38 created the Site Improvement Grant for the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area. The ordinance provided for the CRA Board to amend the Site Improvement Grant Program as needed by CRA Resolution. CONSIDERATIONS: Over the years, these grant programs have been modified and additional grant programs have been created. Currently, the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA manages five grant programs to incentivize private redevelopment. These five grant programs are summarized in the table below. Grant Name Activities Permitted Maximum Award Match Requirement Site Improvement Residential Exterior $8,000.00 2:1 Grant Improvements / Non- profit Exterior Improvements Sweat Equity Grant Residential Exterior $1,000.00 "Sweat Equity" Improvements (All labor must be performed by applicant) Shoreline Construction / Repair $5,000.00 1:1 Stabilization Grant of Rip-Rap or Seawall Landscape Installation of Florida- $2,500.00 1:1 Improvement Grant Friendly Landscape (with partnership with Collier County Extension Service) Commercial Building Exterior and Interior $50,000.00 1:1 Improvement Grant Improvements to Commercial Properties -1- Agenda IteAo. 1653 July 27, 2010 Page 2 of 67 Members of the Bayshore Gateway Triangle community have embraced the Redevelopment Grant Program, with an average of eleven awards per year. In two separate years as many as fourteen (14) grant awards have been made. On average, the CRA has been able to leverage nearly $3 for every CRA dollar awarded to improvement projects. At the public meeting held on June 8, 2010, staff proposed revised grant programs to the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Local Advisory Board: (1) Cap funding of the Commercial Building Improvement Grant at $50,000, by eliminating bonus options; and (2) Requiring proof of current payment of property taxes. With these amendments, the Local Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend to the CRA Board that they approve renewal the Grant Programs as revised. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney Office and is sufficient for Board consideration and approval. (STW) FISCAL IMPACT: None. CRA Grant Programs are funded each fiscal year during the budget process. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the CRA Board approves a CRA Resolution amending the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Grant Programs for Fiscal Year 2011; approve the revised Grant Programs and Application processes; and approve the form of each individual Grant Agreement.

DO NA FIALA, CHAIRMAN Deputy Clerk (D Item # .I Agenda �� 0 De at Dale Recd Deputy Clerk EXHIBIT A Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Site Improvement Grant Information Site Improvement Grant Program 16B3 B A Y S H 0 R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE The Site Improvement Grant Program (SIG) is a redevelopment initiative funded and administered by the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as partial reimbursement for exterior improvements to buildings for residents and non - profit organizations within the Redevelopment Area. Overview of the Program Tenants and owners of residential and select non - residential properties for which property taxes are paid to the current year (see "Applicant Eligibility: Non - Residential Properties" below) and located within the CRA boundaries may be eligible to receive SIG funding. The SIG program funds only exterior improvements as a matching grant, requiring applicants to contribute a minimum of 67 percent of total project costs. The maximum dollar award under this program is $8,000. Work must be completed within a year from the date of approval. All improvements must be at least partially visible to the public, either from the public right -of -way or some other highly visible location. Grantees generally receive SIG funds in about 45 days after CRA staff visit the site and review all paperwork to verify grantee eligibility. Applicant Eligibility: Residential Properties The SIG program is designed to primarily be a tool for improvement for residential properties; however, certain properties zoned for other uses may be eligible as noted below. Owner- occupied and rental (single- family, duplex, triplex, and quadriplex only) residential property located within the Redevelopment Area may be improved with partial funding from the SIG program. Properties with mobile homes may qualify for Sweat Equity or Landscape Improvement Grant funding. Applicants may submit one application per property per year and may apply for additional funds until they receive a total of $8,000 from the CRA. Once an applicant has received $8,000 in SIG funding, that person is ineligible for funding for another SIG for three years but may be eligible for other CRA- backed grants. Applicant Eligibility: Non - Residential Properties The only applicants with non - residential properties who are eligible to receive SIG funds must be affiliated with non - profit entities. Applications for improvements to these kinds of properties must adhere to the same rules as residential applications as noted above (as applicable). Non - residential applicants must have a valid occupational license (as applicable) for their business or organization at the time of application. S3 BAYSHCE GATEWAY TRIANGLE Site Improvement Grant Information NOTE: Double- Dipping between SIG Funds and Sweat Equity Grant Funds "Double Dipping" between SIG and Sweat Equity Grant (SEG) funding is prohibited. Successful applicants to either the SEG or SIG program may only have one active grant agreement at any given time. When the cumulative total of grant awards reaches $8,000, grantees become ineligible for SIG and SEG funds for three years. Bids for Work For each type of improvement to be funded, applicants must obtain a minimum of two cost estimates. For improvements to be performed by contractors, two official bids by contractors from the list on the Collier County Contractor's Search page, located at http: / /apps2.colliergov. net/ webgpps /vision/ConCert/default.aspx, are required. Bids from contractors not listed in Collier County's database of actively licensed contractors will not be accepted for the SIG program. For "do -it- yourself' projects applicants must provide two official cost estimates with clear identification of vendors (CRA does not reimburse labor costs for "do- it- yourself' improvements). The amount of the grant will be determined by the lowest bid/lowest price estimate for each improvement though grantees may actually use any licensed contractor from the database or any vendor. ANY WORK PERFORMED BY CONTRACTORS NOT LISTED IN ABOVE DATABASE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. Project Requirements Eligible Activities Only exterior improvements are eligible for funding under this program. All improvements must be at least partially visible to the public, either from the public right - of -way or some other highly visible location or remove a threat to health, safety or welfare of persons in the general vicinity. Eligible improvements must result in one or more of the following: (1) increase the aesthetic appeal of the area; (2) improve the functionality of the premises; (3) remedy structural problems or code violations or (4) aid in business operation (for non - profit applicants). The grant recipient will be reimbursed at a rate of $1 from CRA for every $2 from applicant, up to a maximum award of $8,000 from the CRA. The following are examples of improvements which would be eligible for grant funding. Installation of or repair to: • Stucco • Doors • Brick or textured pavement • Exterior lighting • Awnings • Windows • Stormwater enhancements • Painting • Masonry • Shutters • Electrical work related to exterior lighting • Signs • Fencing • Roofing • Any other improvements subject to CRA approval. 2 1603 1 BAYS HO RE GATEWAY TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Site Improvement Grant Information Examples of other improvements which qualify for grant funding include the following: • Removal of deteriorated materials • Installation of Old Florida Style architectural details • Professional design services • Parking lot improvements • Building cleaning (sand blasting/pressure washing) • Enhancement of access (e.g. wheelchair ramps) • Remediation of code violations • Any other improvements subject to CRA approval. NOTE: Projects listed below are ineligible for SIG funding. • The removal of architecturally important details; • Installation of aluminum or vinyl siding; • Improvements /installation of swimming pools /pool areas /pool cages and surrounding decks; • Purchase or installation of statues or fountains; • Any work by contractors not listed in database; • Landscnnin¢ *- • Property acquisition; • Construction of free - standing buildings (including construction of new rooms, porches, or decks to existing structures); • Refinancing of debt; • Sweat equity; and • Improvements commenced prior to executing agreement with CRA. *Applicants wishing to improve landscape are encouraged to apply for the Landscape Improvement Grant. Required Documentation for Reimbursement Grant funds are disbursed after CRA staff verify the improvements are complete (this includes review of certificates of occupancy and/or permits from Collier County as applicable). To receive reimbursement, grantees must prove that payment for work was paid DIRECTLY to ACTIVELY LICENSED CONTRACTORS LISTED IN THE ABOVE DATABASE or VENDORS by personal check or credit card in the name of the grantee. Under no circumstance will payment to unlicensed contractors /subcontractors or undocumented vendors be reimbursed. Grantees must provide receipts or invoices with the payment amount indicated clearly. No reimbursement will be disbursed for work paid for with cash. Change Orders and Time Extensions Change Orders to Increase Funding After a SIG agreement is executed, if a grantee discovers or is otherwise informed of flaws in the approved site, a change order may be issued to increase funding not to exceed the maximum award available. Change orders must be requested in time for staff to process the request and secure approval (allow a minimum of one month prior to 1683 1 B A Y S H 0 R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Site Improvement Grant Information expiration of grant). IMPORTANT: Change orders cannot be processed within the last two weeks of the grant period. Upon successfully completing work under the original SIG, grantees must wait one year and may then apply for additional funding for work unrelated to the original project[s]. Time Extensions The CRA understands that redevelopment projects can take more time to complete than is originally anticipated. For grantees who cannot complete their projects within one year, time extensions may be granted. Grantees needing extensions must request the extension within two months of grant expiration. No extensions can be granted within the last two weeks of the grant period. IMPORTANT: Grantees must verify that some activities associated with the improvements have been performed at least six months after execution of the agreement. fl Elayshore Gateway Improvement Grant Information Appendix A: CRA Map Location of CRA within Collier County e.01 CR V6 MMOXALEE RD E 75 iA CRA Roads Collier County 1683 ' B A Y S H 0 R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE CRA Close-Up N r�l CRA Boundary Major CRA Roads Water Bodies CRA Appendix-1A 6 B H R E GATE�AY TRIANGLE Triangle CRA I Site Improvement Grant SIG Apphcatlon (Detach and submit to CRA office.)

Total approved project costs must equal a minimum of $500; the maximum grant award is $1,000. Funds are not permitted to be used for "sweat equity," or cost for labor.

Overview of the Program The CRA encourages everyone with property located on Haldeman Creek to maintain a stabilized shoreline, slowing the rate of sedimentation in the canals. Owners and tenants of residential and commercial properties for which property taxes are paid to the current year along Haldeman Creek within CRA boundaries are eligible to receive SSG funding for shoreline improvements. The SSG Program funds only installation of or repair to rip - rap, bulkheads, or seawalls. Grantees are required to contribute a minimum of 50 percent of project costs with a maximum award of $5,000. Grantees have twelve months from the date of CRA approval to complete shoreline improvements. All improvements must be approved by the CRA before grantees commence improvements —no funding will be awarded for work commenced prior to CRA approval. Funds are disbursed after the completed improvements are approved by CRA staff as reimbursement. Applicant Eligibility Owners and tenants of residential and commercial properties on Haldeman Creek may apply for SSG funding. Properties ( "property" is defined by parcel ID number through Collier County Property Appraiser) receiving SSG funding for improvements are eligible for only one award for the life of the program. Bids for Work Grantees must obtain a minimum of two cost estimates from contractors listed in the Collier County database of actively licensed marine seawall and dock construction contractors which can be found online at http:// apps2. collierizov .net/webgpps /vision/Con Cert/default.aspx. Bids from contractors not listed in this database will not be accepted for the SSG program. No funding will be awarded for "do- it- yourself' improvements or to subcontractors. The amount of the grant will be determined by the lowest bidding contractor for each improvement though grantees may actually use any licensed contractor from the database. Permitting Most contractors handle permit applications and the CRA strongly encourages grantees to give careful consideration with regard to permitting. Applicants who wish to procure permits on their own must first apply through the US Army Corps of Engineers at P.O. Box 4970, 701 San Marco Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32232. Applications are available online at www.usace.army.mil. B S�D R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Shoreline Stabilization Grant Information After obtaining the appropriate permit above, applicants must apply for a permit through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection: FDEP South District, 2295 Victoria Avenue, Suite 364, Fort Myers, Florida 33902. Applications are available online at www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wetlands/elp/forms.htm. Upon receiving the above two permits, applicants must apply for a permit from the Collier County Permitting Department at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, Naples, Florida 34104. Project Requirements Eligible Activities Only the installation of or repair to rip -rap, bulkheads, or seawalls is eligible for SSG funding under this program. No portion of SSG grants may be used to reimburse the grantee for construction of or repair to docks or other related amenities. Grantees who wish to construct improvements not funded through this program are encouraged to inquire about other grant programs offered by the CRA. Required Documentation for Reimbursement Grant funds are disbursed after CRA staff verify that the improvements are complete (this includes review of necessary permits). To receive reimbursement, grantees must prove that payment for the work was paid DIRECTLY to ACTIVELY LICENSED CONTRACTORS LISTED IN THE ABOVE DATABASE by personal check or credit card in the name of the grantee. Under no circumstance will payment to subcontractors or unlicensed contractors be reimbursed. Grantees must provide receipts or invoices with the payment amount clearly indicated clearly along with cancelled checks and/or credit card validations. No reimbursement will be disbursed for work paid for with cash. Change Orders and Time Extensions Change Orders to Increase Funding After the SSG agreement is executed, if a grantee discovers previously undiscovered flaws in the shoreline a change order may be issued to increase funding not to exceed the maximum award available. Change orders must be requested in time for staff to process the request and secure approval. IMPORTANT: Change orders cannot be processed within the last two weeks of the grant period. Time Extensions The CRA understands that redevelopment projects can take more time to complete than is originally anticipated. For grantees who cannot complete their projects within one year, time extensions may be granted. Grantees needing extensions must request the within two months of grant expiration. No extensions can be granted within the last two weeks of the grant period.

Williams Assistant County Attorney COLLIER COUNTY COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY By: DONNA FIALA, Chairman Landscape Improvement Grant Agreement FY 2011 4 hYR 3 E GATEWAY TRIANGLE Commercial Building Improvement Grant Information Commercial Building Improvement Grant Program The Commercial Building Improvement Grant Program (C -BIG) is a redevelopment initiative funded and administered by the Bayshore /Gateway Triangle Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as partial reimbursement for exterior and interior improvements to commercial buildings within the Redevelopment Area. Overview of the Program Tenants and owners of commercial properties for which property taxes are paid to the current year and which are located within the CRA boundaries may be eligible to receive C -BIG funding. Not - for - profit, 501 (c) (3) and other private entities such as churches, etc., are not eligible for C -BIG funding but may be eligible for grants through the Site Improvement Grant program. The C -BIG program funds both exterior and interior improvements to qualified commercial buildings in the CRA. Funding for interior improvements is contingent upon grantees performing exterior improvements earning the maximum funding under the C- BIG program. All interior and exterior improvements must be approved by the CRA prior to commencing any C- BIG - funded projects. All exterior improvements must be visible to the public, either from the public right -of -way or some other highly visible location. Grantees generally receive C -BIG funds in about 45 days after CRA staff visit the site and review all paperwork (see Required Paperwork for Reimbursement) and verify grantee eligibility. Applicant Eligibility Applicants must own a business or a commercial building within the Redevelopment Area (See map in Appendix A). Eligibility criteria are as follows: • Applicants who are business owners must have a valid occupational license at the time of application. Business owners who rent the building or unit space where their businesses are located must secure a signed Owner Authorization Form (attached) from the building owner to construct improvements. Business owners who rent the building or unit space where their businesses are located are strongly encouraged to have a lease guaranteeing a fixed rent. All property taxes on the site must be current. Applicants may submit only one application a year. A business site—defined as the folio number (parcel ID) of business location —may receive up to three C -BIGs, not to exceed the maximum allowable amount in effect at the time of the first application, subject to availability of funds. Once a business site has received its maximum funding, it is no longer eligible for further C -BIG funding for the remaining life of the program (subject to CRA funding availability). This rule also applies to applicants in the same way: one 1683 B A Y S H 0 R E GATEWAY TRIANGLE Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA I Commercial Building Improvement Grant.

Bids for Work For each type of improvement to be funded, applicants must obtain a minimum of two bids by contractors from the list on the Collier County Contractor's Search page, located at http: / /apps2.collierizov. net/ web4pps /vision/ConCert/default.aspx . Bids from contractors not listed in this database will not be accepted for the C -BIG program. The grant amount will be equal the sum of the lowest bids (not to exceed $50,000) by all contractors for each improvement though any contractor listed in the above database may be used. Required Documentation for Reimbursement Grant funds are disbursed after CRA staff verify the improvements are complete (this includes review of certificates of occupancy and/or permits from Collier County). To receive reimbursement, grantees must prove that payment for the improvements was paid to contractror(s) listed in the above datase by check or credit card in the name of the grantee. Under no circumstance will payment to unlicensed contractors or subcontractors be reimbursed. Grantees must provide receipts or invoices with the payment amount indicated clearly.

Interior Improvements Grantees who wish to improve the interior of approved commercial properties may be reimbursed for that work through the C -BIG program only if they earn the maximum dollar award for exterior improvements. Interior projects must be approved at the same time as exterior projects and will be reimbursed at a 50 percent match, up to a maximum award of $20,000. A grantee who fails to perform enough exterior improvements to earn the maximum grant amount will forfeit all reimbursement for interior improvements.

Change orders must be requested in time for staff to process the request and secure approval (allow a minimum of one month prior to expiration of grant). IMPORTANT: change orders cannot be processed within the last two weeks of the grant period. Upon successfully completing work under the original C -BIG, grantees must wait one year and may then apply for additional funding for work unrelated to the original improvement[s].
