Agenda 06/09/2020 Item #16D 3 (Proposal to Florida FWC - Conservation Collier Lands)06/09/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the electronic submittal of a funding assistance proposal to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for contractor services worth $150,000 during FY 2021 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s Dr. Robert H. Gore III, Red Maple Swamp, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves. OBJECTIVE: To maintain Conservation Collier Program preserves free of invasive, exotic plants. CONSIDERATIONS: The Invasive Plant Management Section (IPMS) of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) funds individual invasive plant removal projects on public conservation lands throughout the State. If funding assistance is received, IMPS will pay State contractors to treat invasive, exotic plants within Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve ($50,000), Red Maple Swamp preserve ($50,000) and McIlvane Marsh preserve ($50,000) during FY 2021; total work worth $150,000. No funds will be transferred to Collier County. If funding assistance is awarded, a formal agreement between the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and the State will not be required for the projects to proceed. FISCAL IMPACT: No local funds are required to match this grant if awarded. If funding assistance is awarded, it will save the Conservation Collier Program approximately $150,000, which is proposed for exotic plant treatment within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III, Red Maple Swamp, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves in the FY21 Conservation Collier Land Management Fund (174) budget. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This proposal supports Objectives 6.2 and 7.3 of the Conservation and Coastal Management Element of the County Growth Management Plan, which requires the County to protect and conserve wetlands and the natural functions of wetlands and continue to implement programs that conserve and protect endangered and threatened wildlife species. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved for form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAB RECOMMENDATION: To approve the electronic submittal of a funding assistance proposal to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section for contractor services during FY 2021 to treat invasive exotic vegetation within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III, Red Maple Swamp, and McIlvane Marsh Preserves. Prepared By: Melissa Hennig, Senior Environmental Specialist, Parks and Recreation Division ATTACHMENT(S) 1.
