COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING THAT
WAS TO BE USED FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT ON LINWOOD AVENUE WITHIN THE
BAYSHORE/GATEWAY TRIANGLE REDEVLOPMENT AREA, AND THE
TERMINATION OF THE CDBG AGREEMENT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO
MEET THE HUD DEADLINE FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS.
WHEREAS, On December 13, 2001, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Local Redevelopment Advisory made a recommendation to the CRA that a
CDBG grant be prepared and submitted to the Housing and Urban
Improvement Department for stormwater improvements to the Linwood
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, On January 8, 2002, the Community Redevelopment
Agency directed county staff to submit a Community Development Block Grant
Application for a drainage project on Linwood Avenue in the Bayshore/Gateway
Triangle Component Redevelopment Area to further promote redevelopment;
and
WHEREAS, on February 4, 2003 the Road Maintenance Department
stated that the consultant for the Linwood project was going to make a
recommendation not to proceed with the project due to a faulty design that
would not provide adequate flood relief based on construction cost; and
WHEREAS, shortly atter this decision was made the project went back
into redesign. Due to this error in design work an extension was requested by
the CRA to extend the grant period an additional six months, from June 2003 to
December 31,2003, this extension was granted; and
WHEREAS, on September 26, 2003 the Road Maintenance Department
made known that the redesign plans were 90% complete, and one outstanding
issue remained that could delay construction, which was abandonment of the
6" force main that runs the entire length of the project; and
WHEREAS, on October 23, 2003 the Road Maintenance Department
stated that the Linwood project had encountered numerous setbacks, which
would delay the construction indefinitely. The major issue affecting the project
was the existing sanitary sewer force main in the right-of-way that services the
Main County Government Complex; and
WHEREAS, the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Community
Redevelopment Advisory Board recommends that the Collier County CRA
approve the rescinding of the $329,046 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding that was to be used for a stormwater management and
infrastructure project on Linwood Avenue within the Bayshore/Gateway
Triangle Redevelopment Area, and terminate the CDBG agreement due to the
inability to meet the HUD deadline for the expenditure of funds; and
