AGENDA MEMORANDUM JOINT MEETING NAPLES CITY COUNCIL COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERSCOLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Joint Meeting Date: February 9, 2011 Agenda Item: Prepared By: David Lykins, Director 3 Date: January 31, 2011 Department: Community Services SUBJECT : 10-Year Funding Interlocal Parks and Recreation Programs – Beach Parking BACKGROUND : In 2008, following concerns raised by the Naples City Council regarding use of City’s park facilities, recreation programs, and beach parking/public beach access by residents in the unincorporated area of Collier County, the Board of County Commissioners agreed to provide $1.0 million annually to the City of Naples to help off-set related expenses. The amount provided was intended to be allocated for beach parking in the amount of $500,000, and the balance allocated to Naples park facilities and recreation programs. At that time, and each year thereafter, the Naples City Council, while appreciative of the funding support by Collier County, has maintained that the contribution does not off-set the cost to provide services to the residents of the unincorporated area of Collier County that represent a substantial majority of users. The Naples City Council respectfully requests additional financial support for parks, recreation and beach facilities and suggests that an additional $700,000 would be a fair allocation. In 2008, the Board of County Commissioners recognized the substantial participation by residents of the unincorporated area at the City’s park facilities, recreation programs, and special events. The Interlocal Agreement provides annual funding to the City for a period of ten years, intended to be equally divided between Naples Beach Parking and park facilities and recreation programs. The City agreed to allow the use of its park facilities and recreation programs to residents of unincorporated Collier County on the same terms, conditions and fees as those afforded to residents of the City. The Interlocal Agreement will expire on September 30, 2018 unless terminated by either party for any reason upon at least one-hundred and eighty (180) days notice. Historically, the City of Naples requested funding support on an annual basis from Collier County for park, recreation, and beach facilities. Examples of projects that were provided partial financial support since 1997 include: Naples Landing Improvements; rebuilding of the Norris Center in Cambier Park; and Beach Access Improvements. The Board of County Commissioners offered financial support in recognition that the projects directly benefited residents of the unincorporated areas. The 2008 Interlocal Agreement incorporates the previously established reciprocal beach parking program. The program provides that all residents of Collier County may obtain a beach parking sticker (City or County) to enable free parking at any County or City beach parking location, including the 1,048 beach parking spaces located within the City. A brief history of beach parking is as follows: In 1987, the City and County entered into an Interlocal Agreement to finance a beach parking program. The initial agreement stipulated that Collier County would fund one-third of the program costs. Over the next 20 years, revisions were made to the agreement. Following the beach renourishment project in 2005-06, the Naples City Council agreed to accept a revised Collier County AGENDA MEMORANDUM JOINT MEETING NAPLES CITY COUNCIL COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERSCOLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Joint Meeting Date: February 9, 2011 Page Two Agenda Item: 3 BACKGROUND(cont.) : Beach Parking Policy. The revised policy was prompted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection which, in essence, required equal public access to the beach and uniform parking fees as a condition to beach renourishment authorization and funding. The governing bodies agreed to mutually recognize beach parking stickers issued by Collier County and the City to allow free parking for all property owners and a uniform beach parking sticker fee for non-property owners. Collier County staff sell beach parking stickers to non-property owners. These are recognized by the City for access to beach parking. In 2003, the Board agreed to pay 82% of the net loss of the City’s Beach Fund program. Collier County paid $550,000 to Naples in the year prior to the adoption of the new 10-year Interlocal Agreement. As intended, funding provided by Collier County through the 2008 Interlocal Agreement is distributed to the City’s Beach Fund in the amount of $500,000, and $500,000 is allocated to the City’s General Fund (the funding source for the City’s park facilities, recreation programs and special events). The Naples City Council continues to maintain that the funding support offered by Collier County for park facilities, recreation programs, and special events is not sufficient to off-set the costs associated with the services that are of primary benefit to residents of the unincorporated area. Recreation programs are offered at Cambier Park, Fleischmann Park, the Naples Preserve, River Park and Anthony Park. City parks annually host in excess of 360 classes, 165 camps, 80 theatrical/musical productions, 50 outdoor concerts, 300 facility rentals, 60 youth and adult athletic programs and 3,200 skate park memberships. Many activities are provided without cost to participants. User fees or paid registrations cover a small portion of the costs or services with the majority of park operations and activities supported and funded through General Fund revenues. Facility participation based on registrations in 2009 demonstrated the following. Fleischmann Park • – City Resident 1674 23% – Non Resident 5719 77% Norris Center • – City Resident 784 18% – Non Resident 3695 82% River/Anthony Park • – City Resident 1593 60% – Non Resident 1042 40% The attached PowerPoint provides additional information regarding participation and funding of the City’s park and recreation programs.

BACKGROUND : The City of Naples acquired the property now known as Naples Landing Park in 1967 for park and recreation purposes. The acquisition was funded by a combination of City funding and a grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 1979 the property was substantially improved with the addition of a boat ramp, public restroom facilities, parking facilities, picnic facilities and landscaping. In 1995 improvements were made to the park facilities. Funding for these improvements included a grant from the Florida Department of Environment Protection (Resolution 95-7601) and funding assistance from Collier County (Resolution 95-7497). The funding from Collier County was pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement for refurbishment of the boat ramps and improvements to park facilities. In 2000 the City and Collier County entered into an Interlocal Agreement (Resolution 00-8793) providing in part for funding assistance from Collier County for “refurbishment of Naples Landing Park.” The agreement deems the useful life of the improvements at Naples Landing Park to be 20 years and provides the following: “The City shall not assess an additional admission fee, user fee, etc., to County residents during the life of the project.” Current City fees are identical for all users. In 2004 additional improvements were funded by the City for sidewalks and to improve accessibility for persons with disabilities. In addition to the amenities mentioned above, Naples Landing currently includes a children’s playground, Naples Sailing Center facilities, and provides waterfront access to marine contractors. City funds provide for all maintenance, including repairs, landscaping, cleaning, etc. There are currently 37 metered parking spaces available for vehicles with trailers. The user may pay the meter or park using the City of Naples trailer parking permit. There are 14 unmetered parking spaces for car parking, 2 handicapped spaces and 2 government official spaces. All spaces and permits are available for payment of the appropriate fee without regards to residency (City or County). In 2009, City Council approved Resolution 09-12471 increasing trailer parking permit fees at Naples Landing from $ 60 to $120 per year, effectively providing unlimited usage for $10 per month. CURRENT FEES City of Naples – annual permit - $ 120.00, recreational or commercial meters - $ 1.50/hour In 2010, 154 City permits were issued.

BACKGROUND : Since the expansion of U.S. 41 to a six-lane highway, the road has acted as a barrier to connectivity in Downtown Naples, separating the 10th Street corridor from the remainder of Downtown and Old Naples. The purpose of redesignating the route of U.S. 41 is not to change the flow of traffic. The purpose is to gain local control of the roadway to improve connectivity and guide the land use potential in the 10th Street corridor, an area with significant undeveloped private property. Prior to the expansion of U.S. 41 (from four lanes to six lanes) by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Naples City Council passed three separate resolutions in 1974, 1976 and 1977 opposing the expansion. The original 1994 Community Redevelopment Plan recognized U.S. 41 acted as a “barrier to the free flow of east/west traffic” and was “difficult for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross”. The Plan indicates the CRA should explore “the feasibility of the relocation of U.S. 41.” Council Member Sulick (CRA Chairman and MPO Vice-Chairwoman) has been involved in discussions with Florida Department of Transportation officials and staff on potential opportunities to improve connectivity within the Old Naples area. This includes improving the connection between the 10th Street corridor and the remainder of Old Naples. Studies of the U.S. 41 corridor, and discussions with representatives from the Florida Department of Transportation and Collier County staff, indicate that changes to U.S. 41 may be feasible at this time. Continuing this initiative will require an analysis of the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies and jurisdictions involved. On December 13, 2010, City staff and Jon Sewell, Vice President of Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc., presented a potential implementation strategy to improve connectivity along the U.S. 41 corridor to support and complement land use possibilities and spur development in the corridor by redesignating the roadway thru downtown Naples. Following the presentation, there was consensus on City Council to proceed with a “fatal flaw” study. On December 20, 2010, the concept was presented to the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board. The Board endorsed the idea and recommended the City proceed with the “fatal flaw” study by a vote of 6-0. On January 19, 2011 City Council approved a resolution appropriating funds to complete the “fatal AGENDA MEMORANDUM JOINT MEETING NAPLES CITY COUNCIL COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERSCOLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Joint Meeting Date: February 9, 2011 Page Two Agenda Item: 5 BACKGROUND(cont.) : flaw” study. It is anticipated that the study will be substantially complete in approximately 60 days. The “fatal flaw” study will address the following (additional detail provided by attachment): Task 1 – Transportation Corridor Evaluation and Strategy Development Task 2 – Transportation Model and Corridor Route Evaluation Task 3 – CRA Benefit – Cost of Operations and Maintenance Analysis Task 4 – Implementation Plan Task 5 – Final Report Recommendations Task 6 – Meetings (MPO, FDOT, Collier County) Task 7 – Public Involvement Reviewed by Department Director Reviewed by Finance Reviewed by City Manager Roger Reinke N/A A.

(“KHA” or “the Consultant”) is pleased to submit this letter agreement (the “Agreement”) to the City of Naples, Florida (“the Client”) for providing Downtown CRA Implementation and Transportation Strategy Development Services. Our scope of services, schedule, and fee are below. Project Understanding The City of Naples is in the process of evaluating the option to move the designation of the US 41 highway corridor to a location that best serves the City’s goals and the desire of the CRA to fully implement its redevelopment plan. As early as 1994, the CRA identified the US 41 corridor through the City of Naples as being an impediment to cohesively developing the urban core. In the City of Naples CRA Redevelopment Plan, 1994, it was noted that the US 41 corridor represented a visual and physical barrier to pedestrians, local traffic and development. One of the existing CRA Redevelopment Plan goals is to continue its streetscape plans to the east side of US 41. This initiative would help achieve this goal, but the current six-lane configuration, the volume of traffic and traffic speeds are an impediment to this. This project will analyze both the positive and negative factors involved in moving the designation of this corridor to a more desirable location for the City. It is generally thought that, at this time, the Goodlette-Frank Road corridor may be a better location for the US designation to be located. This initiative will require an analysis of the policy and traffic operational issues involved, the roles and responsibilities of the various jurisdictions and agencies that will need to be coordinated with, and the steps that will need to be initiated by the City’s leaders and the CRA Board. The project’s tasks, schedule and deliverables are listed below. TEL 850 553 3500 FAX 850 309 0055 Mr. Ron Wallace, January 4, 2011, Page 2 Scope of Services Task 1 – Transportation Corridor Evaluation and Strategy Development The Consultant will develop a corridor route based on input from the Client and on existing traffic and land use data. The corridor route will be developed to provide an alternative route for the State designated roadway. The purpose of this re-designation will be to improve the livability and economic viability of the Naples downtown area. The corridor route will be within the general study area of US 41 from Goodlette-Frank Road to Golden Gate Parkway. Task 2 – Transportation Model and Corridor Route Evaluation The Consultant will update the most current MPO model with current population data for the City of Naples. This will be coordinated with the most recent MPO LRTP data. Based on the updated MPO model, the Consultant will run the model for the existing condition to establish a baseline condition. The model will then be run for the developed route in Task 1. The output data of the run will be the basis to compare and analyze the operational characteristics of the route. The Consultant will also identify level of service (LOS) deficiencies, if any, that there may be with the route. Based on the model runs, the Consultant will analyze the LOS and operational characteristics of the study area intersections. The analysis will include consideration of the current hurricane evacuation plan for the area. The study area intersections will be analyzed with and without the proposed corridor route changes and for current (2010) and ten-year planning horizon year. The study area intersections are identified as the following: US 41/Golden Gate Parkway Golden Gate Parkway/Goodlette-Frank Road th US 41/5 Avenue South at Four Corners US 41/Goodlette-Frank Road Two additional intersections to be determined later Task 3 – CRA Benefit-Cost of Operations and Maintenance Analysis Through the possible transfer of jurisdiction or ownership and through agreements for operating responsibility and maintenance, there may be changes in costs (positive or negative) to the City of Naples. For the Task 1 route, the Consultant will evaluate the cost implication from an operations and maintenance perspective. The Consultant will complete this based on costs that are provided from existing data sources and FDOT estimates for operating and maintenance costs from their generalized tables. The existing agreements for operations or maintenance will be documented based on available information as provided by the Client. This task will include a discussion and analysis of the various alternative methods for providing maintenance to the existing infrastructure with the goal of minimizing any fiscal impacts to the City. The current schedule of capital improvements will be noted in this summary to document the infrastructure maintenance including resurfacing, stormwater, or other similar projects. In addition, it is also anticipated that there would be positive impacts to the land uses in the Naples downtown area from the changes in US 41 alignment. This will be analyzed to allow for a comparison between the possible costs and Mr. Ron Wallace, January 4, 2011, Page 3 the positive benefits within the CRA area. This estimate will be developed based on the existing land use potential including underutilized and vacant properties in the affected area and the corresponding ad valorem increases that would result in a higher tax increment financing (TIF) capability of the CRA. The increase in TIF could be used to fund a portion of the improvements that would be needed to implement the CRA Redevelopment Plan. Task 4 – Implementation Plan For the study corridor route, the Consultant will generally outline the steps that will need to be taken to implement the plan based on the analysis of traffic operations characteristics of the study area, including at the intersections. It is expected that some level of improvements will be needed. These improvements will be documented along with their corresponding opinions of probable costs, and may be used to further evaluate operations. In addition, the Consultant will also recommend the general steps that should be taken to meet with the appropriate public agencies in order to gain support for the final recommendations. These may include the FDOT, Collier County, the Collier County MPO, MPO advisory groups, etc. A general discussion will be included that describes the roles and responsibilities of each of these entities in the implementation process. The Consultant will develop a funding strategy that considers possible funding sources and strategies. These strategies will be developed to consider grants or possible participation from FDOT or the MPO. Consideration of how the CRA could leverage its existing or anticipated TIF funding to increase the options for funding from grants. Task 5 - Final Report Recommendations Based on the above tasks, the Consultant will document the final recommendation to summarize the data and analysis and policy level steps that will need to be taken to implement the Plan. This will include the recommended steps to be taken and the roles and responsibilities of the various entities that will be involved. Task 6 – Meetings To facilitate the implementation of this project, the Consultant will attend up to three meetings in the Naples area to meet with the Client or agencies such as FDOT, the MPO or the County. These meetings will be anticipated to communicate the technical analysis in support of the City staff and elected officials who will take the leadership role in the discussions with the outside entities. The Consultant will also prepare a brief summary, or talking points, of the final report that can be used by the Client in the discussions with agencies and other jurisdictions. Task 7 – Public Involvement The Consultant will conduct up to six stakeholder interviews and one public meeting in the City of Naples to gather input related to the concepts described in the above tasks. The Consultant will provide a summary of this input in the final report. The stakeholder interviews and the public meeting will be held on the Mr. Ron Wallace, January 4, 2011, Page 4 same day. The Client will be responsible for scheduling and securing the meeting space. Deliverables: The Consultant will provide a draft and final report for review by the Client.

When it reaches a jetty or groin, this flow is interrupted, and sand is either deposited or removed (usually offshore or into passes). Often, sand builds up on the north side of a jetty protecting a pass, and beaches on the south side of a pass are starved of sand. Over time, there is an overall movement of beach sand offshore and to the south. The first renourishment of the City’s beaches occurred in the mid-1990’s and was done to extend the width of the upland beach area. At that time, the thought was that the beaches would have to be renourished on a 10-year cycle, and in 2006, the beach was again renourished by collecting beach- compatible sand from an offshore area and placing it along the shoreline. The project was designed to provide additional storm protection for beachfront properties as well as to enhance the recreational and aesthetic characteristics of the beach. The design width was 100 feet on Naples beach and 75 feet on the Park Shore beach. In 2006, most of the sand was placed on land owned by the State of Florida, seaward of the erosion control line. The land located above the erosion control line is either City right-of-way or owned by the upland beachfront property owners. Thus, in order to place sand landward of the erosion control line in the latter situation, the City obtained temporary construction easements from each beachfront property owner. The easement covered only the area of the property seaward of the seawall or beach vegetation line. This allowed the County’s contractors to place sand on the area between the erosion control line and the leading face of the vegetated dune or seawall. It did not grant any access to (or over) the improved portions of the property. Beach quality sand was transported by ocean dredge from a site in the Gulf south and west of Sanibel Island to a location approximately three miles from shore. From there it was piped to a distribution point on the beach.The process started at Vanderbilt Beach and proceeded southward th to approximately 19 Avenue South. After the sand was deposited, sea oats were planted to help hold the sand in place and form dunes. As a result, dunes have built up behind the beach, providing more protection for landward structures and improving the beach and dune ecosystem. The renourishment was a County-driven process with a County project manager. Using Tourist Development Tax dollars, the County hired engineers and a dredging company to carry out the work – at a cost of $25 million. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection limits the placement AGENDA MEMORANDUM JOINT MEETING NAPLES CITY COUNCIL COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERSCOLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Joint Meeting Date: February 9, 2011 Page Two Agenda Item: 6 BACKGROUND(cont.) : of sand on a basis of public access and a designation of the beach as being critically eroded, which is why the southern end of the Naples beach does not get renourished. Considerations: At the current time, due to accelerated sand loss from increased fronts and storms, it appears that the 10-year cycle will have to be shortened to an 8-year cycle. Engineered solutions are required to reduce sand losses and reduce the need for renourishment in terms of both time cycles and amounts of sand. . The cross section of the beach profile will be studied in an effort to make the beach higher and wider. Work has to be done outside of sea turtle nesting season and during tourist season. The cost of renourishment will undoubtedly rise. Beach quality sand will become increasingly harder to locate and competition for that sand will intensify. The south end of the Naples beach is extremely narrow in spots but is outside the limits for TDC funding for renourishment. Construction easements must be obtained from beachfront residents prior to commencing work. The 2006 easement agreement is being modified to make it permanent instead of having a 20-year limit.
