Agenda 06/09/2009 Item #16F 4 Agenda Item No. 16F4 June 9, 2009 Page 1 of 4 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Approve an amendment to Resolution 1991-185 autborizing tbe County Manager to appoint from time to time Collier County's Representation to tbe Florida Local Government Finance Commission OBJECTIVE: Provide authorization to the County Manager to appoint from time to time Collier County's representation to the Florida Local Government Finance Commission. CONSIDERATIONS: Resolution No. 1991-185 established Collier County's membership in the Florida Local Government Finance Commission via inter-local agreement and designated that Mr. John Yonkosky would be one of Collier County's representatives to the body. Budget Director Yonkosky has and continues to represent Collier County's interest on the Commission. Currently Budget Director Y onkosky is the only named Collier County representative and it would be prudent to provide the County Manager with the authority to designate an alternate representative to the Commission - allowing the alternate to represent the County's interest should that need arise. The attached amendment to Resolution No. 1991-185 authorizes the County Manager to designate up to two (2) individuals to represent Collier County on the Commission. Collier County along with Sarasota County and Brevard County formed the initial Florida Local Government Finance Commission through an inter-local agreement dated February 19, 1991. The Commission was created to: 1) provide a vehicle for public agencies to finance or refinance capital projects at a lower interest cost than might otherwise be available in traditional public finance markets, and 2) offer participants economies of scale associated with common financings that may not be realized ,.-. through separate financings. Collier County's commercial paper borrowing through the program has been extensive over the years and the Commission through its letter of credit provider has provided a vehicle for timely, low interest short term capital financing. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no legal considerations associated with this executive summary, it is not quasi-judicial, requires no ex parte disclosure, and requires only a majority vote for approval-SRT RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment to Resolution No. 1991-185, which authorizes the County Manager to appoint, from time to time, Collier County's representation to the Florida Local Government Finance Commission.
