Body
BACKGROUND:
Coastal Advisory Committee (CAC)
The Collier CAC was established in 2001 to assist the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with its unified beach erosion control and inlet management programs and advise the BCC and the Tourist Development Council (TDC) of project priorities with respect to funding sources that are available for restoration and protection of our shoreline. The nine-member CAC is composed of three members from the unincorporated area of Collier County, three members from the City of Naples, and the three members from the City of Marco Island. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month at 1 p.m.
The current CAC members representing the City of Marco Island are former Mr. Steve Koziar, Mr. Bob Roth and Council Chair Erik Brechnitz.
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
The Collier MPO was established in 1982 following the Federal Highway Act that required urbanized areas to develop transportation plans and programs as a condition to receive federal capital or operating assistance. The nine-member MPO is comprised of five members from the Collier County Board of Commissioners, two from the City of Naples, one from Everglades City, and one from the City of Marco Island. The Florida Department of Transportation is represented on the board as a non-voting member. Meetings are held on the second Friday of the month at 9 a.m.
The current MPO member representing the City of Marco Island is Council Chair Erik Brechnitz.
Tourist Development Council (TDC)
The Collier TDC was established in 1992 to make recommendations to the BCC regarding a proposed plan of uses for tourist development tax revenues, for the effective operation of the special projects or uses of the tourist development tax revenues, and to review all expenditures of revenues from the tourist development trust fund. The nine-member TDC is comprised of three elected officials from the BCC, City of Naples and City of Marco Island, up to four tourism industry owner/operators and two individuals involved in the tourism industry. Meetings are held on the fourth Monday of the month at 9 a.m.
The current TDC member representing the City of Marco Island is former Councilor Victor Rios.
Southwest Florida League of Cities (SWFLOC)
Representatives from the 11 incorporated municipalities in four counties are invited to meet every other month (usually the third Thursday, mid-day) typically in a centrally located city such as Estero or Ft. Myers - see attached synopsis for more information.
