Marco Island Parks & Recreation Department at the approval of the City Manager and City Council, refuse to check ID’s of individuals using our facilities as to whether they are residents of Marco Island or residents of Collier County and charging non-residents a higher fee for use of its facilities.
When I was on City Council I tried to have that fee structure implemented but request was denied. Several times I had stated that the City of Naples was receiving $1 million from Collier County for unincorporated residents using City of Naples Parking lot to access the beach and using City facilities. I apologize for not following up to get the facts from the City of Naples if that in fact was the case.
Also, Parks and Recreational Manager never inquired about my statement.
Recently I put in a Public Records Request to the City of Naples and was not shocked by the results. The City of Naples due to an Interlocal Agreement between Collier County and the City of Naples governing the use of the City of Naples beach parking and recreational programs. For Fiscal Year 2024 the City of Naples is receiving $1.5 million. There is also an application for TDC funding $800,000.
Maybe the City Manager or City Councilor should do some negotiating!!
Respectfully submitted,
Amadeo Petricca
