FY2025 ANNUAL REPORT

MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER On February 1, 2025, I assumed the role of City Manager for the City of Naples. I was honored, humbled, and blessed by the support of the Mayor, City Council, City staff, and the residents of this wonderful City.

When I accepted this position, I outlined what I deemed were our most pressing issues. At the forefront was addressing expired labor union contracts governing nearly eighty percent of our workforce. These agreements were essential to ensure stability for employees and provide measurable budgetary certainty for long-term planning, all while protecting the City’s most valued asset - its employees. In FY2025, we successfully completed all five union negotiations, securing contracts through FY2027.

The City Team and I also recognized the ongoing challenges of recovery from Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton, alongside major public and private projects across the City. These efforts continue to challenge staff and residents, particularly with longer and more impactful projects, including the beach outfall project, beach access and seawall repairs, and the Naples Pier reconstruction. While road closures and construction impacts will remain for some time, the Mayor, City Council and City staff remain committed to working through these challenges on your behalf. Additional details follow in the departmental sections.

Perhaps the most important challenge I accepted, with the support of City Council, was providing leadership in establishing a long-term, reliable revenue stream to address our aging stormwater system. Although finalized after FY2025, City Council adopted a plan on December 3, 2025, to increase stormwater rates by 25 percent each year for four years, generating approximately $168 million over the next twenty years. This plan will provide the financial foundation needed to design and build critical stormwater infrastructure system improvements.

The transition in leadership was met with support and optimism, and City staff have worked diligently to address these and other issues. This report outlines our accomplishments and the work still ahead, offering an honest assessment of FY2025.

It is my honor to serve, and my pleasure to present the FY2025 City of Naples Annual Report.

Inside you will find departmental, financial, and organizational information that reflects our progress, challenges, and commitment to delivering on the Naples Vision and making each resident, visitor, and customer proud of this great City.

On behalf of the entire Naples Team, we hope you find this report to be informative and encouraging as we look to the future.

Sincerely,

Gary Young

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Celebrating community and commitment

On behalf of City Council, it is my honor to reflect on the past year and highlight accomplishments that demonstrate our shared commitment to preserving Naples’ unique character, supporting environmental stewardship, and fostering a vibrant community.

Although FY2025 began with unexpected challenges, including the departure of City Manager Jay Boodheshwar and recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, these obstacles reminded us of Naples’ grit, adaptability, and community spirit.

In January, City Council unanimously appointed Gary Young as City Manager. With decades of municipal experience, including nearly ten years serving Naples, Mr. Young brings trusted leadership, integrity, and dedication to our city’s future. His intimate knowledge of key projects is in alignment with advancing Council priorities to support long term success. Mr. Young has established the path and financial framework for the City to begin executing the Multi-Basin Implementation Plan, totaling more than $600 million in critical infrastructure improvements, including $280 million projected over the next twenty years.

Council advanced important legislative priorities, securing $35.5 million in state appropriations for water quality, flood mitigation, and the Naples Pier, while also advocating for the protection of home rule. The Comprehensive Plan Update process also began, helping to guide smart growth and the preservation of Naples’ charm. This year, we strengthened our city’s foundation through thoughtful preparation and targeted investments. We opened the First Avenue South Parking Garage, approved the Multi-Basin Stormwater Plan, implemented essential water system upgrades, dredged North and South Lakes, and began restoration of thirty beach access points. Council also supported major community initiatives, including the newly completed Sugden Theatre, the Baker Theater and Education Center, and approval of the site plan for the NCH Heart, Vascular and Stroke Institute. Additional efforts, such as the Downtown Traffic Study and early planning for the Miracle Mile, set the stage for future revitalization.

These achievements show what can be accomplished when a community works together with integrity and a shared love for Naples. Naples is more than a destination; it is our home. I am deeply grateful to our residents, City Manager Young, City staff, and Council colleagues for their partnership and commitment. Together, we are building a stronger, safer, and more resilient Naples.

Sincerely,

Teresa Lee Heitmann Mayor of the City of Naples 6

SEA TURTLE PROTECTION PROGRAM The City of Naples Sea Turtle Protection Program, established in 2007, is a collaborative effort between the Natural Resources Division and the Code Compliance Division. Natural Resources staff review lighting plans for new construction, renovations, and alterations on structures visible from the beach. This detailed process includes plan reviews as well as pre-installation and post-installation site inspections. These efforts are coordinated with the Code Compliance team, who conduct nighttime lighting inspections during sea turtle nesting season, running from May 1 through October 31 each year.

Sea turtles increase their chances of survival by laying multiple nests each season, providing a buffer against challenges like hurricanes, storm surge, and artificial lighting. While we cannot predict what next summer will bring, you can help protect our nesting sea turtles by: • Keeping the beaches dark at night • Filling in any holes made at the beach • Flattening sandcastles before leaving the beach • Take back what you bring: beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, trash, etc.

Every small action contributes to the survival of these remarkable creatures! Only about 1 in 1,000 sea turtles survive to adulthood.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | FY2025 ANNUAL REPORT

Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) It is the mission of the Naples CRA to guide public and private initiatives in the redevelopment area to facilitate economic development, improve physical characteristics, and encourage investment, thus improving the quality of life for residents of the redevelopment area and the City of Naples.

Since the creation of the Naples CRA, the CRA Board over the past 30 years has invested approximately $50,000,000 in public improvements within the Redevelopment Area and the tax base has increased over 1,400-percent from $183,809,274 in 1994 to $2,780,137,215 in 2025.

The Naples CRA is a dependent special district created by the Naples City Council in 1994 for the purpose of eliminating and preventing slum and blight, and the preservation or enhancement of the tax base in the redevelopment area.

The redevelopment area is comprised of approximately 550 acres with a wide range of residential and commercial properties. Approximately 25 percent of the existing acreage is residential and approximately 75 percent of the existing acreage is non-residential.

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The original Community Redevelopment Plan (the Plan) was adopted by the City Council in 1994. The Plan was subsequently amended in 2014 and 2021. The Plan is designed to provide a workable program for using public resources to fund redevelopment initiatives and provide a broad vision of those initiatives. The CRA may decide to complete any activity in the Plan; however, the CRA may not undertake any activity that is not in the Plan.

The Naples CRA is funded through the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) methodology. Incremental revenue is calculated based on the increase in taxable property values between the “base year” when the Plan was originally adopted, and the current taxable value. The incremental increase is deposited into the Community Redevelopment Trust fund for a steady source of funds to be used to finance the projects and programs identified in the Plan. The tax base for the Naples CRA area when the Plan was originally adopted was $183,809,274. The taxable value for FY2025 was $2,780,137,215 The tax value increased from $2,526,740,694 in FY2024 to $2,780,137,215 in FY2025, a taxable value increase of 10.14-percent. This demonstrates the workable initiatives the CRA has managed to continually protect and increase property values within the CRA area. With thoughtful stewardship of the incremental revenue and the implementation of the Plan, the Naples CRA has achieved significant accomplishments in capital improvements. These improvements encourage investment and facilitate economic development.

These efforts prioritize infrastructure, affordable housing, aesthetics, public mobility, and safety, while strengthening the economic vitality of local businesses. The CRA remains committed to collaborating with the public to maintain Naples' exceptional quality of life and provide leadership on critical issues shaping the City's future.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS Affordable Workforce Housing The CRA began 2025 by calling a Special Meeting to discuss an opportunity to purchase existing multifamily apartments, known as Stillwater Cove, which have historically provided affordable rents in Naples. A full property evaluation was conducted to determine the existing conditions and future redevelopment potential.

The CRA called two Special Meetings and had discussions during regular meetings. The CRA discussed four unique

options to purchase the property and heard public input during each meeting. Upon full consideration, the CRA did not take action to purchase the property. The CRA continues to seek opportunities to preserve affordable housing within the Redevelopment Area.

4th Avenue South/8th Street Public Parking Garage Improvements The 4th Avenue South/8th Street Public Parking Garage was built in 1999. The parking garage regularly goes through evaluations and when necessary, repairs. The most recent evaluation recommended sealing joints and other repairs. That work was completed along with the final phase, painting. This project was well managed over the course of a few weeks with minimal disruption to the public and 5th Avenue South business owners.

1st Avenue South Public Parking Garage During 2025, the construction of the 1st Avenue South Public Parking Garage was completed, and the garage was opened to the public. This public parking garage in the Naples Design District area will support the patrons of the new Gulfshore Playhouse, surrounding businesses, and parks.

The CRA’s investment in parking in the Redevelopment Area continues to support and spark property owner investment in redeveloping aging properties.

Before

1st Avenue South, 12th Avenue South, & 10th Street Corridor Design The CRA continued its progress to improve drainage, infrastructure, safety, and aesthetics along 1st Avenue South, 12th Avenue South and the 10th Street in the Naples Design District. During 2025, the CRA provided direction to add significant stormwater improvements to the project.

This stormwater design addition implements an identified project within the City’s Multi-Basin Prioritization Plan. The design is expected to be completed in 2026.

Major Projects NAPLES BEACH RESTORATION & WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE

PUBLIC WORKS

During FY23-24, City Council awarded a “Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)” contract for the Naples Beach Restoration and Water Quality Improvement Project (aka Stormwater Beach Outfall Project).

The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is a project delivery method in which the City hired a construction manager (CM) to oversee the project from design to construction close-out and deliver it with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) provided to the City prior to the bid stage.

The City issued a Notice-to-Proceed for construction to commence on March 3, 2025. The contractor (Kiewit) immediately mobilized and began construction within the 3rd Street corridor.

The project’s schedule is anticipated to be 45-percent complete by the end of the year (2025). Considering the progress of the project, the completion date has been accelerated to March 2027 (approximately 85 days sooner than the original project schedule).

This landmark project will significantly enhance water quality through a state-of-the-art stormwater treatment train, improve flood protection, reduce beach erosion, safeguard environmental species, and remove nine unsightly stormwater outfall pipes from Naples' beautiful beaches. Additionally, it will bolster the City’s resilience to climate change and protect our coastal ecosystem.

The project will essentially provide a new stormwater collection system that will replace the existing gravity-based stormwater infrastructure between Oleander Drive and 2nd Avenue South.

Improvements will also include installation of water quality pre-treatment structures within 78 new curb inlet catch basins, treatment through stormwater best management practices, installation of approximately 6,000 lineal feet of stormwater pipe varying in size from 24 to 54 inches, construction of two (2) diffusion systems, two (2) offshore directionally drilled discharge lines (per location), and two (2) pump stations to move treated stormwater offshore into the Gulf of Mexico. The pump stations will be equipped with emergency standby generators for operating the system during electrical service interruptions.

NAPLES BAY RED TIDE SEPTIC TANK MITIGATION PROJECT Design for Phase 2 of the Septic-to-Sewer project began in May 2021 and continued through FY2025. Due to the delays from Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton, as well as the award of grant funding, the design phase is now expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. Phase 2 includes unsewered Areas 1, 2, 3, and 6, encompassing approximately 835 properties served by onsite septic systems. The estimated construction cost for the full sanitary sewer system installation is $41 million.

Project Areas • Project 1: Located between Solana Road and Cypress Woods Drive, and along Creech Road; includes 285 properties. Estimated construction cost: $14 million.

• Project 2: Located between Granada Boulevard and Morningside Lane; includes 297 properties.

Estimated construction cost: $13.5 million.

• Project 3: Represents the northernmost areas between Milano Drive and Pompei Lane, and from North Alhambra Circle south to Granada Boulevard; includes 253 properties. Estimated construction cost: $13.5 million.

Following completion of the utility and stormwater design, the City will publicly bid the project. After consultation with legal counsel and in consideration of assessment procedures and strategic construction sequencing, the project will advance as a single construction effort. Contracting will be executed through a three-party agreement between the City, County, and the selected contractor. This structure enables the City to issue a purchase order for the utility improvements and the County to issue a purchase order for stormwater improvements. Construction is tentatively planned for FY2026-27, pending finalization of grant funding agreements.

Lake Restoration Project

extension to complete these items.

In March 2025, City Council also approved a design and permitting contract for the next three lakes scheduled for restoration: Devils, Suzanne, and Forest Lakes. The design phase includes feasibility studies, biological and ecological assessments of existing conditions, bathymetry, and sediment characterization. These efforts are complete, and design plans for all three lakes have reached 60 percent completion. Coordination with impacted residents and the South Florida Water Management District on permitting is currently in progress.

LAKE RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE

City Council approved a construction contract in June 2024 for lake improvements, with completion anticipated in FY2025-26. The construction phase included hydraulic dredging to remove soft sediment and unconsolidated muck layers accumulated over decades of stormwater runoff; this work is now complete. Additional improvements underway include the installation of best management practice (BMP) devices such as inlet filter baskets, littoral plant shelves, aeration systems, and upgraded water control structures. The contractor has requested a time

OYSTER RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE The construction phase of this project was completed in May 2024 with the creation of over 33 new oyster reefs at three permitted sites within Naples Bay, Haldeman Creek, and the Gordon River. The monitoring phase continues at our newest reefs located in Haldeman Creek. In May 2025, one-year post-construction monitoring showed great success with a mean oyster density of 1,593 oysters per square meter. As a comparison, mean oyster density on the reference (natural) reefs was 625 oysters per square meter. These numbers show excellent recruitment of juvenile oysters, or spat, onto the created reefs which are comprised of fossilized shell and limestone rock.

Juveniles Settled onto Reef

EAST NAPLES BAY DREDGING AND ROCK REMOVAL PROJECT UPDATE The East Naples Bay Dredging and Rock Removal project continued throughout FY2025. Awarded to Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. in June 2021, the initiative includes dredging and rock removal across canals in partnership with the East Naples Bay Taxing District. During the fiscal year, QE devoted additional staffing and equipment to the process, and the project remains on track for completion prior to June 2026. This project will improve waterway navigation and support the long-term health and functionality of the canal system.

Project Progress (as of Week 112 of 143) • 78.3% Complete Based on Schedule • 78.5% Complete Based on Dredging Volume • 16 of 25 Canals Accepted as Complete

RESILIENCE ADAPTATION PLAN UPDATE On September 22, 2025, City Council received the City’s Resilience Plan, developed during FY2025. The Plan presents a three-pillar approach with Offshore Protection, Onshore Protection, and Inland Protection to address risks from tropical storms, hurricanes, and long-term sea-level rise. The purpose is to reduce flood risk, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure continuity of essential services through reliable, engineering-based strategies.

Development of the Plan involved all City departments as part of TeamCity Resiliency, including Natural Resources, Stormwater, Utilities and Solid Waste, Transportation (Streets and Traffic Operations), Facilities/Community Services, Planning, Building, Technology Services, Public Safety (Police, Fire, and EMS), and Public Engagement.

This coordinated effort ensures that resilience planning is integrated across operations, infrastructure, and community outreach.

The Plan’s Vision is to implement an effective, threepillar approach to coastal and community resilience.

Its objective is to unify offshore, onshore, and inland measures into a layered system focused on actions within the City’s control. The goal is to reduce flood risk, protect infrastructure, preserve beaches, and ensure continuity of essential services—supported by a diversified funding strategy.

THREE-PILLAR RESILIENCE APPROACH Pillar I: Offshore Protection (Multi-Agency) • Expansion of the artificial reef program using County C&D reuse materials and engineered reef modules.

• Design reefs to dissipate storm surge energy offshore before reaching the beach.

• Collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Vicksburg Research Center), NOAA, FDEP, SFWMD, Collier County, and the TDC. • Reefs will be engineered as offshore energydissipating barriers, modeled through advanced hydrodynamic and seakeeping simulations.

Pillar II: Onshore Protection (Multi-Agency) • Beach renourishment with vegetated dunes (in progress), reinforced with native plants and engineered frameworks to stabilize sand and reduce erosion.

42

CITY OF NAPLES

• Reinforced dunes (in planning) with embedded, invisible structures such as buried seawalls at resilient elevations.

• Walkable beach paths and elevated boardwalks integrated into dune systems to preserve public access while providing coastal protection.

• Purpose: absorb residual wave energy after offshore dissipation.

Pillar III: Inland Protection & Infrastructure Reliability (City-Led) • Public Works - Stormwater Multi-Basin Implementation Plan (in progress): Launch demonstration projects integrating water, sewer, stormwater, and road improvements—designed to provide lifesustaining services during storm surge and king tide events.

- Upgrading critical infrastructure including stormwater, water, and sewer systems, along with adjusting road elevations to protect city facilities and private property as recommended in the Multi Basin and Basin IV stormwater evaluation.

- NaplesPUR Program (in progress): Comprehensive modernization of aging utilities (water, sewer, stormwater, hydrants, valves, pump stations, power systems, and roads).

• Finance & Funding Strategy - As the Resilience Plan evolves, funding will continue to be refined. Through the FY2025– 26 Capital Budget, City Council has begun setting the foundation for investments in these critical improvements.

PUBLIC SAFETY | FY2025 ANNUAL REPORT

53

Between 2022 and 2024, Southwest Florida experienced five hurricanes: Ian, Idalia, Debby, Helene, and Milton, marking one of the most challenging periods of storm activity in the region’s recent history. While these storms varied in strength and impact, they collectively tested the City of Naples’ infrastructure, emergency response systems, and long-term resilience planning.

Hurricane Ian’s landfall on September 28, 2022, as a high-end Category 4 storm brought unprecedented storm surge and flooding to Naples and remains the most significant disaster event in the City’s modern history. Subsequent storms affected the region in different ways. In August 2024, Hurricane Debby brought heavy rainfall, causing moderate flooding throughout the City. On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene brought damaging wind gusts, over four feet of storm surge, and more than ten inches of rain to the area. Just thirteen days later, Hurricane Milton made landfall in Siesta Key, generating significant wind gusts and a five-foot surge along our coast.

As these storms arrived in close succession, City staff worked diligently to restore essential services, support residents and businesses, and advance recovery projects. The following section outlines the City’s major recovery efforts from Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton, as well as progress made toward strengthening community resilience for future storm seasons.

HURRICANE RECOVERY

2nd Avenue South - After Hurricane Ian

PUBLIC BEACH ACCESSES RECONSTRUCTION & BEACH END SEAWALL PROJECTS Hurricane Ian caused severe damage to all 40 public beach accesses in the City, including substantial impacts to five beach ends where storm surge undermined asphalt and compromised seawalls and other structural foundations. In response, the City advanced two major coastal infrastructure efforts: the Public Beach Access Restoration Project and the Beach End Seawall Replacement Project. Together, these projects are designed to improve resilience, address long-term shoreline stability, and restore safe public access to the beach.

The Beach End Seawall Replacement Project includes replacing seawalls at the North Lake Drive, 14th Avenue South, and 16th Avenue South beach ends, and constructing new seawalls at the 3rd Avenue South and 15th Avenue South beach ends. City Council awarded the construction contract in May 2025, allowing work to begin immediately. The new seawalls at 3rd Avenue South and 15th Avenue South were completed in September 2025, and the remaining seawall upgrades are substantially complete. The project is on track for final completion by December 1, 2025—226 days ahead of schedule. Once this work is finished, all five beach ends will move into the restoration phase as part of the broader reconstruction effort.

FY2025 ANNUAL REPORT

3rd Avenue South Beach End

The Public Beach Access Reconstruction Project originally focused on rebuilding the Vedado Way access; however, following Hurricane Ian, the scope expanded to include 30 additional beach access points.

In FY2025, design was completed, and City Council awarded the construction contract on April 15, 2025.

The project emphasizes reducing impervious surfaces, improving environmental resilience, and restoring a more natural character across the sites. Enhancements include new vegetation, hardscape improvements, updated signage, pay stations, waste receptacles, benches, bicycle racks, and upgraded showers and drinking fountains. The contractor has completed approximately 60 percent of the work to date.

THE NAPLES PIER REBUILD PROJECT Hurricane Ian caused catastrophic damage to the Naples Pier with approximately 460 feet severely compromised and the final 140 feet submerged in the Gulf. Additional damage occurred during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, prompting the City to restrict access to only the restroom buildings and stairways for public safety.

In FY2025, the City continued to make progress on all approvals necessary to begin demolition and reconstruction of the Pier. Significant progress has been made toward fulfilling local, state, and federal requirements, including securing the key permits, funding sources, and selecting contractors. The City

also continues maintain a very strong, cooperative relationship with Collier County, which is providing funding and temporary use of County facilities essential to the project.

The calendar below outlines the efforts throughout the fiscal year: October 2024: The City signs the contract with Shoreline Foundation, Inc. as the General Contractor.

November 2024: FEMA concludes final internal determination of Damage Description and Dimensions (DDD) from Hurricane Ian March 2025: Collier County Board of Commissioners (BCC) agrees to temporary use of Bayview Park for staging materials.

June 2025: FEMA preliminary cost analysis completed, and both the City and the agency agree on total eligible FEMA funding of $12,667,938 with 90 percent federal share (Ian was a “90%” storm) for $11,401,144.

July 2025: U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service completes its review of Pier Project as part of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit process August 2025: FEMA completes environmental and insurance reviews and sends them to the Large Project Notification queue.

September 2025: County BCC approves temporary use of the Jolley Bridge site for staging materials, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finishes its review of the Pier Project as part of USACE permit process Following the close of FY2025, the USACE issued the required permits for the project in October 2025. On December 12, 2025, FEMA officially obligated funding for the pier rebuild and authorized construction to proceed. The City issued a Notice to Proceed to the contractor, Shoreline Foundation, Inc., to begin demolition and reconstruction of the Pier on January 5, 2026.

BEACH RENOURISHMENT AND DUNE PLANTINGS: Within the City of Naples are eight miles of beach coastline. Through an established partnership, the City maintains 40 public beach accesses and ensures they remain clean and safe for visitors, while Collier County, through Tourist Development Council (TDC) funding, manages the dune systems and beach renourishment along our coast. Following Hurricane Ian, Collier County placed approximately 400,000 tons of sand on City beaches to construct an emergency beach berm intended to restore the protective dune system.

Subsequent storm surge from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, however, eroded and flattened much of that berm.

In 2025, Collier County continued renourishment efforts by placing approximately 300,000 tons of sand on the Park Shore beaches in January and an additional

Beach Dune - After Hurricane Ian

45,000 tons on the southern beaches (south of the Pier) in May. After Hurricanes Helene and Milton, a significant amount of clean, displaced sand was also returned to the shoreline to support natural recovery.

Beach Dune - After Hurricane Ian

Through a partnership with Collier County, Naples Botanical Garden, and Florida Gulf Coast University, the City added new native dune plantings to strengthen dune stability and enhance long-term coastal resilience. These plantings help trap sand, promote natural dune growth, support coastal ecosystems, reduce erosion during storms, and protect the public investment in renourishment projects.
