Executive Summary went to BCC June 9, 2015 to extend the term of the original Agreement for
purchases to be completed by July 31, 2016. To-date, paperwork has been processed for
$76,272.15 of the $150,000 funds the Committee approved:
Chief Schuldt and Tara Bishop attended the meeting and the Chief informed the Committee that
one of the three trucks has been completed. The Chief said that the retrofitting project has been a
longer process than anticipated due to the combining of three Fire Districts (East Naples, Golden
Gate, and Isles of Capri Fire Districts), as well as several issues with obtaining parts for the
trucks. Jeff asked if the Fire District would require an extension to the Agreement since the
expiration date was the end of July, 2016. The Chief said he would request that the Committee
provide a six-month extension in order to complete the two brush trucks.
Jeff agreed and asked the Committee to make a motion to extend the current Agreement for an
additional six-months. Mark made a motion to extend the Agreement for an additional six-
month extension, Annette seconded, Jeff called for the vote, and all were in favor. Michael said
he would prepare the Amendment to the Agreement and submit that to the Board of County
Commissioners for approval. Chief Schuldt told the Committee he will return in September with
an update on the project. Jeff said he could provide an email or letter and it wasn't necessary to
appear in person.
There was a brief discussion started by Chief Schuldt that the District would like to make some
improvements to the Safe Ilouse and the Committee commented on the need for new flooring,
repairs to the smoke machine, and maybe update the exhibit with some kind of interactive touch
screen monitors. The Chief said there is discussion about tailoring the exhibit for younger and
older visitors so that the exhibit has more of an educational impact for each group. Jeff suggested
including something to show visitors the size of the area the District responds to and to use the
exhibit to get young people interested in becoming fire fighters. The Chief said he would come
back to the Committee at a later date to discuss the proposed renovations to the Safe House as
well as other ideas and he would welcome the Committee's input.
Michael stated that he met with the Greater Naples Fire Control and Rescue District and the
District did not have any need for the two reserved properties in Unit 93 and the Chief confirmed
that.
6. Other business: Michael asked if the Committee wanted to readdress the release of the two
parcels in Unit 93 again now that the Fire District has no need for the properties. Jeff said that he
does not want the properties to be sold at this time, but if anyone wanted to reconsider the vote
from the previous meeting, he'd entertain a discussion. There was no further discussion so the
vote from the January 25, 2016 meeting stands which is not to release the two properties.
Michael advised the Committee that even though the Committee has voted to not release the
properties, the Board of County Commissioners will have to be petitioned for approval of the
Committee's recommendation.
7. Public Comment: None
