Update on Golden Gate Fire Control and Rescue District / Greater Naples Fire Control and Rescue District: Update from Chief Kingman Schuldt or his representative 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.
