2) Provide specific service comments regarding mutual aid intentions or limitations to other
districts. (Service Levels, Item 8)
Response: The GNFD currently participates in the Collier County Local Mutual Aid Agreement,
last codified by the BCC on January 25,2011 for the purpose of securing to each, the benefits of
mutual aid protection of life and property from fue and other emergencies, and to provide local
government entities a cost effect method to control and mitigate local emergencies that exceed
their ability to handle efficiently. It is not the intention of said agreement to address catastrophic
events, nor is it to be utilized to supplement a party's inadequate provision or planrring of
necessary infrastrucfure to adequately serve its residents. ln the event of a catastrophic event, the
Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement may be invoked, which would supersede the local mutual aid
plan.
The GNFD additionally participates in a Service Agreement with Collier County, last codified by
the BCC on July 15,201I and renewed July 8,2014 to provide fire control, fire prevention and
rescue services to sub-areas of Collier County Fire District One and establish the closest station
response to requests for service.
The GNFD is also a participant of a Cooperative Agreement between Collier County and the
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, providing for the Florida Forest Service's
(FFS) protection of 323,123 acres of forest and wildland in Collier County.
Finally, the GNFD participates in the Statewide Mutual Aid program as outlined n Cbapter 252,
Florida Statute and establishes a skucture for disaster management, which identifies four (a)
levels of ascending intervention (local, county, state and federal). The basic concept of the
SERP is to allow the first level (local) of govemment to be charged with the initial responsibility
for emergency response and relie{ attempting to mitigate the situation with the resources
available. Requests for assistance from the next higher level will be made when the
magnitude of the disaster either exceeds tle resources of, or are not available to, the local
level.
It is the expectation of the GNFD that all existing mutual aid, service or other similar agreements
will remain in place as part of a comprehensive approach to consolidate and enhance the delivery
of emergency services in Collier County.

COLLIER COUNTY FIRE CONTROL MSTU (DiSTRICT ONE)
Because the Collier County Fire Control MSTU (District One) lacks persormel and equipment,
the GNFD does not anticipate the necessity to allocate funding to payroll and benefits, operating
costs, capital equipment or a resewe fund. As outlined in the Perfoma Budget included on page
20 of the proposal, the GNFD does not anticipate additional costs to Collier County. GNFD
proposes to provide ooverage to the entire District One at an immediately reduced millage rate
Ilom its current 2.0 mils to 1.5 mils.
The terms of paymurt from Collier County to the GNFD is proposed in similar fashion to the
curent process of collecting and disbursement of ad valorem taxes, fire inspection fees and if
applicable, impact fees to GNFD.
ALLIGATOR ALLEY MM63
As outlined in the original proposal a budget for the Ailigator Alley MM63 Fire Station service
area was included on page 2l; including annua! payroll, benefits and operating costs of
$1,246,968.00. It is anticipated the $1,442,900.00 in capital costs would not be recurring and
therefore unrnecessary to fund. Considering the current funding source is inclusive of a Florida
DOT gant the GNFD does not anticipate additional costs to Collier County. This proposal will \'/ not result in auy adve$e impact to the County.
In conclusion, I am hopeful this response has assisted to clarify any questions you may have
regarding the proposal submitted by the GNFD. As always, do not h€sitate to contact the Fire
Diskict with any additional questions you may have . On behalf of Chairman Jeff Page and the
entire Board of Fire Commissioners we look forward to the upcoming workshop.
