Agenda 02/24/2015 Item #17D 2/24/2015 17.D. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to: (1) adopt an Ordinance creating the Fiddler's Creek Municipal Rescue and Fire Services MSTU, (2) adopt an amendment to Ordinance No. 78-49, as amended, the Isles of Capri Municipal Fire Services Taxing District, to adjust its boundaries by removing the Fiddler's Creek area within the MSTU, (3) to approve an Interlocal Agreement with Greater Naples Fire Rescue District for providing fire services to properties within the Fiddler's Creek Municipal Rescue and Fire Services MSTU, and (4) to request that the Property Appraiser begin to levy the tax millage in the 2016 tax year once set by the Board of County Commissioners. OBJECTIVE: To create an MSTU for the purpose of contracting for fire services from the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District for the residents of Fiddlers Creek who are currently receiving fire rescue services from the Isles of Capri Fire Rescue District. CONSIDERATIONS: The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District (GNFD) introduced a Special Act of the Florida Legislature to annex approximately 280 homes in Fiddler's Creek. The Board of County Commissioners supported introduction of this legislation. Because of the timing of the next general election, this legislation and the associated reduction in property taxes will not become effective until the 2017 tax year. At the December 9, 2014 Board of County Commissioners' meeting, the Board provided direction to accommodate a citizen's request for these residents, currently served by the Isles of Capri Fire Rescue District, to be served by the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District at their current tax rate until the annexation can be finalized. The method for accomplishing this request is to amend the current boundary of the Isle of Capri Municipal Fire Service Taxing District by removing Fiddlers Creek, adopting a new Ordinance creating a Fire Service MSTU for Fiddler's Creek and entering into an Interlocal Agreement with the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District allowing it to provide fire services to _ Fiddler's Creek. Notice of these ordinances appeared in the Naples Daily News on Friday, February 13, 2015. The Interlocal agreement was approved and signed by the Commission Chair of the GNFD on February 10, 2015 for services beginning on October 1, 2015. FISCAL IMPACT: Loss of these properties will decrease ad valorem taxes to the Isles of Capri Fire District beginning in FY16 by approximately $120,000, which represents approximately 12% of the District's ad valorem collections. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board approval.—SRT GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with the Executive Summary. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board: (1) adopts the attached Ordinance creating the Fiddler's Creek Municipal Rescue and Fire Services Taxing Unit, (2) an the Amendment to Ordinance No. 78-49, as amended, the Isles of Capri Municipal Fire Services Taxing District, to adjust its boundaries by removing the Fiddler's Creek area from within the MSTU, (3) approves an Interlocal Agreement with Greater Naples Fire Rescue District to provide service to the Fiddler's Creek MSTU effective October 1, 2015, and (4) authorizes the Chair to make a written request to the Property Appraiser to begin assessing taxes on the Fiddler's Creek MSTU for the 2016 tax year.
