Agenda 05/26/2020 Item #16K 3 (Resolution - Immokalee Revelopment Board)05/26/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reappoint a member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board.
OBJECTIVE: To reappoint one member to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to a
three-year term which shall expire on April 4, 2023.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted
Resolutions 2000-82 and 2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) and identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County (Baysho re/Gateway Triangle and
Immokalee) as areas in need of redevelopment. In addition, Resolution 2000-83 authorized the creation
of Local Advisory Boards by separate resolution to assist in the implementation of the redevelopment
plan. The CRA adopted Resolution 2001-98, which provided that the Immokalee Enterprise Zone
Development Agency would also be the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board. When the
Florida Enterprise Zone Act was repealed in 2015, the CRA adopted Resolutions 15-217 and 15-218
establishing the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board as a stand-alone advisory committee.
The purpose of this committee is to be the primary vehicle for community and professional input to the
CRA for matters relating to the Immokalee Redevelopment Area. Terms are 3 years. A list of the current
membership is included in the backup.
The committee bylaws as revised in CRA Resolution No. 2016-198 provide that the membership of this
nine-member committee be distributed as follows:
a) Two (2) Immokalee residents;
b) Two (2) individuals representing Immokalee businesses;
c) One (1) Immokalee Lighting and Beautification Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU)
Representative;
d) One (1) individual representing a non-profit operating in the Immokalee Redevelopment Area;
e) Three (3) at-large representative who reside or engage in business, or both, in the Immokalee
Redevelopment Area.
Mr. Caton does not meet the membership qualifications for the Committee. Should the Board wish to
appoint Mr. Caton, the Board would need to waive the requirements for Mr. Caton.
A seat designated as representing category (b) Immokalee businesses expired on April 4, 2020. The
vacancy was advertised and applications were received from the following:
