Agenda 04/13/2021 Item #16K2 (Re-appointments to Immokalee CRA)04/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reappoint three members to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory
Board.
OBJECTIVE: To reappoint three members to the Immokalee Local Redevelopment Advisory Board to
terms expiring on April 4, 2024.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 14, 2000 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolutions
2000-82 and 2000-83 establishing the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and
identifying two areas within unincorporated Collier County (Bayshore/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Enterprise Zone Act was repealed in 2015, the CRA adopted Resolutions 15-217 and 15-218 establishing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 representatives who reside or engage in business, or both, in the Immokalee
Redevelopment Area.
Three seats on this committee expired on April 4, 2021. The vacancies were advertised and applications
were received from the following:
