Agenda 09/08/2015 Item #11B9/8/2015 11. B.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to consider the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District's request to
expand their service area to include the former Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue
District; renew the annual Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity ( COPCN) for non -
transport Advanced Life Support (ALS) services; and, if the service area is expanded, approve an
Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement Advanced Life Support Partnership Between Collier
County and Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District.
OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners to consider an amendment to the Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity for non - transport ALS services to the North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District that includes the expanded service area formerly known as the Big Corkscrew Island Fire
Control and Rescue District as a result of approved district merger on November 4, 2014.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Board should note several components to this application as noted below:
Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District receives ALS personnel from Collier County
EMS via an agreement between the Board and the former Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and
Rescue District. In accordance with section 189.074(9), Florida Statutes, the agreement became a
contract with the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District on January 1, 2015. If the service
area is expanded, staff recommends that this agreement be terminated for mutual convenience. The
date and time for termination is discussed below.
2. Staff is combining this initiative with the annual renewal of the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue
District's annual COPCN to avoid coming back to the Board in 30 days.
If the Board approves expansion of the service area, staff is further recommending that an early
renewal of the usual anniversary date be considered as follows: A). North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District COCPN is to become effective on October 1St, 2015. B). The geographical boundary
formerly known as the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District now governed by the
North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District shall receive ALS non - transport services from the
North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District within thirty days of the COPCN being issued by
Collier County. The current Interlocal Agreement, dated March 11, 2014, "Advanced Life Support
Partnership between Collier County and Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District" by
mutual convenience, will be simultaneously terminated. C). After this transitional period, the
anniversary date for the renewal shall be December l st of each subsequent year, with the renewal
application received by October I't of each year if so desired by North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District.
4. The Public Safety Authority (PSA) has reviewed the application and opened the floor to discussion at
recent meetings. A letter in support of the COPCN modifications and analysis provided by the PSA
is attached.
The Board is requested as part of the annual granting of the Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity ( COPCN) for this non - transport ALS program to require the North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District to provide and execute the following efforts.
Packet Page -221-
9/8/2015 11. B.
1. Continue and expand the use of smaller emergency response vehicles for first responder emergency
medical care calls- for - service when the type of medical call is unlikely to require additional personnel
or traditional fire apparatus.
2. North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District shall ensure that all efforts are faithfully committed to
ensure continuity of patient care by having its paramedics ride -in to the hospital when joint policy,
procedure, and Advanced Life Supports procedures initiated by North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District personnel exist.
The Board shall also recognize the associated budget amendment to acknowledge the $250.00 filing fee to
the Board for the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity renewal.
If the expanded service area for the COPCN is granted, the Interlocal Agreement Advanced Life Support
Partnership between Collier County and Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District
( "Interlocal Agreement ") is no longer necessary. Accordingly, an amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement is proposed to add the following additional termination provision.
7.5 This Interlocal Agreement shall automatically terminate 30 days from the
issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to the North Collier
Fire Control and Rescue District that includes the boundaries of the former Big
Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District.
Section 7.3 of the, Interlocal Agreement will remain in the Interlocal Agreement and provides that
termination may be initiated by either party with at least 90 days notice to the other party. The Interlocal
Agreement is attached to the proposed amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the Board for the granting of this certificate. The Board
is requested to accept and recognize as revenue in Fund (490) the $250.00 application fee with the
corresponding application.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this
item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Ordinance allows the renewal COPCN to be approved routinely by
the Board without a hearing. If a hearing is held the standards set forth in Ordinance No. 04 -12, Section 7
apply. Section 7 states:
"The Board of County Commissioners shall not grant a certificate unless it shall find, after public hearing
and based on competent evidence that each of the following standards has been satisfied:
(A) That there is a public necessity for the service. In making such determination, the Board of
County Commissioners shall consider, as a minimum, the following factors:
1. The extent to which the proposed service is needed to improve the overall emergency
medical services (EMS) capabilities of the County.
2. The effect of the proposed service on existing services with respect to quality of service
and cost of service.
3. The effect of the proposed service on the overall cost of EMS service in the County.
4. The effect of the proposed service on existing hospitals and other health care facilities.
Packet Page -222-
9/8/2015 11. B.
The effect of the proposed service on personnel of existing services and the availability of
sufficient qualified personnel in the local area to adequately staff all existing services.
(B) That the applicant has sufficient knowledge and experience to properly operate the proposed
service.
(C) That, if applicable, there is an adequate revenue base for the proposed service.
(D) That the proposed service will have sufficient personnel and equipment to adequately cover the
proposed service area."
Ordinance No. 04 -12, Section 8 provides:
"In making the determinations provided for in Section 7 above, the Board may, in its sole discretion,
appoint a Hearing Officer to hold a public hearing and to make factual findings and conclusions as a
result of the hearing. Should a Hearing Officer be appointed, said Hearing Officer shall render a written
report to the Board within 30 days of the hearing, which report shall contain the officer's findings and
conclusions of fact, and a recommended order. The findings and conclusions of fact shall be binding upon
the Board, but the recommended order shall be advisory only."
This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval. —JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a non - transport Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity to the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District that includes
the expanded service area formerly known as the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District
and an Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement Advanced Life Support Partnership between Collier
County and Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District if approved with the considerations
referenced above. The Chair is requested, if approved, to sign the COPCN Certificate, Pennit, and the
Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement Advanced Life Support Partnership between Collier County and
North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District.

Collier County Public Safety Authority
3une 15, 2015
Dear Commissioners,
The Public Safety Authority (PSA) conducted a review of the North Collier
Fire District (NCFD) Amended Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity (COPCN) Request.
In evaluating this request, we considered whether the standards for approval
of a COPCN, as included in Collier County Ordinance 04 -12, were net by this
Amendment.
The merger of the North Naples Fire District (NNFD) and Big Corkscrew
Island Fire District (BCIFD) into North Collier Fire District (NCFD) is
complicated financially.
The former fire districts have different millage rates, currently 0.95 mil for
North Naples and 3.5 mils for Big Corkscrew. Now merged., they are still
required to maintain their revenue and expenses separately "until such time
as there is one millage'rate levied district wide and taxing subunits have
been eliminated."
Since the Big Corkscrew Service Delivery Area (SDA) is a separate taxing
subunit, the PSA asked questions to determine whether they could
independently meet the financial standards imposed by a COPCN. We found
that they could.
After considering all aspects of the review, the PSA recommended approval
of the North Collier Fire District COPCN Amendment Request The vote was
unanimous.
Rather than just recommend approval of this COPCN Amendment, the PSA
-decided to provide a copy of the analysis we conducted (Enclosure 1 }, and
the written questions posed to NCFD and their responses (Enclosures 2, 3
and 4), so you can review the issues in more detail, if you desire, prior to
making a decision.
Packet Page -230-
9/8/2015 11. B.
Our analysis was discussed at the June 10, 2015 PSA meeting. The Director,
Bureau of Emergency Services, suggested bundling the COPCN Amendment
Request with the upcoming NCFD annual COPCN renewal. The 'NCFD Chief
agreed, but only If the bundling did not delay your consideration of the
COPCN Amendment.
If you have any questions regarding the PSA review, please feel free to
contact me at 598-4378 prior to July 3, 2015.
Respectfully,
Janet Vasey

PSA Analysis of the NCFD COPCN Amendment
Collier County Ordinance No. 04 -12, section 7 states: "The Board of County
Commissioners shall not grant a certificate unless it shall find, after public
hearing and based on competent evidence that each of the following
standards has been satisfied." Four standards (underlined) are provided.
Standard 1. "That there is a public necessity for the service."
a. "The extent to which the proposed service is needed to improve the
overall EMS capabilities of the County."
Analysis:
On March 5, 2014, the County entered into an Interlocal ALS Partnership
Agreement with Big Corkscrew Island Fire District. This Agreement provided
3 CCEMS paramedics /firefighters (one for each shift) in an effort to improve
response times.
The response time standard for Rural areas is to have Advance Life Support
(ALS) on scene in Under 12 minutes 90% of the time.
In the year prior to the Interlocal Agreement, response times for EMS Zone
10 in the Big Corkscrew Area were Under 12 minutes 88.4% of the time.
• In the year since the Interlocal Agreement, response times have been
Under 12 minutes 97.5% of the time, exceeding the Rural standard.
• In the last year, EMS response times in Zone 12 (not directly affected by
the Interlocal Agreement) are Under 12 minutes 93.3% of the time, also
exceeding the Rural standard.
However, in entering into the Interlocal Agreement, the BCC expressed a
desire to improve response times in the area, not necessarily just meet the
Rural standard.
As a result, we compared performance against the Urban standard of
providing ALS in Under 8 minutes 90% of the time.
In the year prior to the Interlocal Agreement, response times for EMS Zone
10 Big Corkscrew Area were Under 8 minutes 55.8% of the time.
• In the year since the Interlocal Agreement, response times have been
Under 8 minutes 80.4% of the time.
• In the year since the Interlocal Agreement, EMS response times in Zone 12
are Under 8 minutes 57.9% of the time.
1
Packet Page -232-
9/8/2015 11. B.
While the Interlocal Agreement has improved ALS response times and the
Rural goals are being exceeded, the COPCN Amendment would provide one
ALS engine and one ALS Attack vehicle in Zone 10 and one ALS engine in
Zone 12 -- with three Big Corkscrew paramedics per shift - -- and further
improve response times.
b. "The effect of the proposed service on existing services with respect to
quality of service and cost of service."
Analysis:
The Ordinance would require Big Corkscrew Service Delivery Area (SDA)
paramedics to "accompany a patient on the CCEMS ALS transport from
scene to hospital when the paramedic ... initiates ALS services on a patient
prior to CCEMS transport arrival."
Big Corkscrew has a total of 31 personnel, including 24 firefighters who ride
on the 3 vehicles -- 2 engines and 1 Attack vehicle.
The PSA questioned whether Big Corkscrew, with such limited personnel,
could afford to send paramedics on ambulances without taking an ALS unit
out of service or even an engine out of service.
NCFD said that situation occurs now, in the North Naples SDA, when their
paramedics transport with a patient to the hospital. NCFD said that ALS and
fire units would move to provide coverage throughout the NCFD as
necessary.
c. "The effect of the proposed service on the overall cost of EMS service in
the County."
Analysis:
The FY16 cost of the Interlocal Agreement is $363,200 for CCEMS personnel,
medical training and related firefighter training. Medical supplies used in
one year are estimated at $500.
The PSA asked NCFD whether this CCEMS support would need to be
continued if the COPCN Amendment was approved.
NCFD stated: "if the county wants to continue to subsidize the NCFCR district
with a conservative estimate of $265k worth of resources, it only increases
the level of ALS service available to the District." Note, $265k was the
original cost estimate when the Agreement was approved.
PSA members agreed that any decision on CCEMS paramedic support to the
2
Packet Page -233-
9/8/2015 11. B.
Big Corkscrew SDA should be referred to the Director of EMS to evaluate the
needs of the whole system and provide a recommendation to the BCC.
d. "The effect of the proposed service on existing hospitals and other health
care facilities." The COPCN Amendment does not appear to have any
negative effect on the hospitals.
e. "The effect of the proposed service on personnel of existing services and
the availability of sufficient qualified personnel in the local area to
adequately staff all existing services."
Analysis:
PSA questioned whether all the additional training, quality assurance
reviews, etc., would reduce the time that current (limited) personnel have to
provide existing services, since Big Corkscrew SDA personnel (10
paramedics and 19 EMTs) will require extensive and recurring training under
the Medical Director and District trainers.
NCFD responded: "The District is currently providing training, QA reviews
for all district personnel and continues to meet all required performance
measures." NCFD said they do not require any additional personnel related
to the COPCN.
Standard 2. "That the applicant has sufficient knowledge and experience to
properly operate the proposed service."
Analysis:
While the Big Corkscrew paramedics will have training from the NCFD
Medical Director, they will not, generally, have had much experience
assessing a medical emergency and hands -on experience administering ALS
procedures to patients under emergency conditions.
The PSA asked whether the Big Corkscrew SDA paramedics would provide
ALS on emergency calls without any oversight from experienced paramedics
during shift operations - since there would be only 1 Big Corkscrew
paramedic, acting independently, on each of the 3 Big Corkscrew SDA
vehicles.
NCFD responded that the Big Corkscrew paramedics would be rotated onto
North Naples SDA ALS units, where they would work with more experienced
paramedics.
One of the specified training objectives discussed in the North Naples Fire
District COPCN renewal in 2014 was to ensure that paramedics receive not
3
Packet Page -234-
9/8/2015 1 1 3.
only extensive training, but are rotated among units to receive experience
with varied procedures.
When asked how Big Corkscrew SDA personnel would be provided
experience with varied medical procedures, NCFD responded:
"The District has affiliation agreements with both local hospital systems and
Lee Memorial Hospital providing a high Level clinical environment for
paramedics which is identified through the district credentialing program and
benchmark performance measures to attain additional experience and skills
under the watchful eyes of other medical professionals."
Standard 3. "That, if applicable, there is an adequate revenue base for the
proposed service.
NCFD stated in the Amendment Request: "Although there are two service
delivery areas, ultimately, the District is responsible for all expenses of the
District."
However, Big Corkscrew SDA must maintain its own separate millage rate,
currently 3.5 mils, "'until such time as there is one millage rate levied district
wide and taxing subunits have been eliminated."
The PSA posed a series of questions to determine what the Big Corkscrew
SDA one -time and annual costs of a COPCN would be and whether they had
sufficient financial resources (revenue and reserves) to pay for it. NCFD
financial information is provided at Enclosures 3 and 4.
After an evaluation of this financial information, it was determined that the
Big Corkscrew SDA has sufficient income and reserves to support their costs
under the COPCN Amendment.
Standard 4. "That the proposed service will have sufficient personnel and
equipment to adequately cover the proposed service area."
PSA questions were addressed under prior Standards.
NCFD specified that no additional personnel and equipment were required.

Questions on the North Collier Fire District's request to amend their COPCN.
Questions are addressed to North Collier Fire District unless otherwise noted.
A. Source of Funding
Your Request states, "The District will fund the provision of Advanced Life Support (ALS)
non-transport services within the Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area utilizing a
millage rate of 3.5 mils . . ."
Question: The Merger Plan included a millage reduction to 3.45 mils. Will you fund the ALS
support within this reduced rate?
The answer is yes; from a cost aliocattionperspective the Corkscrew SDA will fund
tine additional salary adiustinents and one time capital purchases. The initial
purchases wouid b1C made in the FY_E� -'�t-3111-15 -Corkscrew SDA has an adopted
rnifiage rate of 3.50 we believe the millage, rate for the FYE 930-16, pursuant to the
merger plan, will he 3,45.
Later in the Amendment request, you state, "Although there are two service delivery areas,
ultimately, the District is responsible for all expenses of the District."
Merger Plan Section V11 page 26 states " Al; bonds, contracts and obligations of
the BCIFR and NNFED1 that exist as leaa obligations are obligations of the merged
district, and such obligation shall be issued or entered into by and in the name of
the merged district". T he intent, as voiced by the Board an numerous occasions
during the ALS discussions following ".,he merger, is to cost allocate any necessary
e,xpenses. While these expenses are not reflected, in the financial projiections
contain within the, merger pian, t'hey will still not depiete Cwrkscrevw's reserves
to the paint, that- funding wrigil be required by No° wh apies SDA.
Question: Does this mean that you would use funding from the North Naples Service
Delivery Area, if necessary, to pay for BCI Service Delivery Area ALS costs if the COPCN is
amended?

NNFD/BCI Joint Merger Plan (Final - August 14th, 2014) (page 10) states: "By utilization of
the cost allocation method developed, separate budgets will be maintained and tracked,
along with cash reserves, until such time as there is one millage rate levied district wide and
taxing subunits have been eliminated. The provision for continuation of the cost allocation
utilization, maintenance of separate budgets and cash reserves will be included in the new
merged districts' unified charter legislation."

District not the Corkscrew service delivery area,; hence the financial statU v of the
overall district needs to he considered consistent with Fiorida Law and the State
6.di-t FX General.
Question: Was this provision included in the unified charter legislation? Do you intend to
comply with your commitment to: 'utilize a cost allocation method' and 'maintain separate
budgets, along with cash reserves'?
t CAE €7rov- siori for cost aliocatior and maintenance of ve eta` ate budgets and re,Serve

B. Requirements for Approval
Given the commitments made by both NNFD and BCIFD to the public prior to the merger
vote, this Request to Amend the COPCN is being reviewed as if the BCI Service Delivery
Area will pay for their share of the COPCN costs.
The Collier County Ordinance for granting a COPCN states, "The Board of County
Commissioners shall not grant a certificate unless it shall find, after public hearing and
based on competent evidence that each of the following standards has been satisfied."
(emphasis added)
The following questions relate to satisfying each of the 4 required standards. The standards
are identified in quotations.
1. "That there is a public necessity for the service."
a. "The extent to which the proposed service is needed to improve the overall EMS
capabilities of the County."
Question for CCEMS: What are the medical call response times for the stations in the BCI
Service Delivery Area? Provide response times both before and after the Interlocal ALS
Partnership Agreement was executed on March 5, 2014. What are the standards? Are they
currently being met?
b. "The effect of the proposed service on existing services with respect to quality of service
and cost of service."
Question: Ordinance requires BCI Service Delivery Area paramedics to "accompany a
patient on the CCEMS ALS transport from scene to hospital when the paramedic ...
initiates ALS services on a patient prior to CCEMS transport arrival."
Looking at your personnel levels, it appears that you have only 9 firefighters per shift and 3
of them would be qualified as paramedics. Is that correct? Will this requirement create
personnel shortages in the BCI Service Delivery Area?

Yes, there: will he approximately 3 paramedics goer shift and "NO" this will not add
any challenges to the North Collier Fire Control & Rescue District which is currently
comprised of 1.0 .BLS fire response engines. If necessary, when are ACS resource from
the Corkscrew SDA is involved in a transport to the hasp taa the district has enough
resources to provide any necessary coverage.
c. "The effect of the proposed service on the overall cost of EMS service in the county."
Question: Under the Interlocal Partnership agreement, BCI Service Delivery Area has been
provided additional support from CCEMS that was initially estimated at $265k annually for
salary and benefits. Will this support be required if the COPCN is amended? Why would it
be needed in the BCI Service Delivery Area when you are adding 10 paramedics and 19
EMTs?
One of the benefits of the original North Naples COPCN request was that: "the addition of
ALS non - transport services to NNFD has allowed CCEMS the flexibility to reassign units and
personnel to other areas of the County in order to improve services." Does extending the
COPCN to the BCI service area provide the same flexibility?
The decision te, continue o- cancel the inter -Ijoca i agreerr'te t -S clely ffie
responslhility oI' Collier County EMS, The Districts position is if the county wants to
continue to subsidize the NCPI-R district with a conservative estimate of 5,265
worth of resources, it C: n!xr increa xes the l...! of ALS servile a v'ailablie to the District,

Question for CCEMS: What is the cost of the Interlocal agreement for FY16? Identify costs
separately for personnel, medical supplies, training, etc.
d. "The effect of the proposed service on existing hospitals and other health care facilities."
Does not appear to be any negative effect.
e. "The effect of the proposed service on personnel of existing services and the availability
of sufficient qualified personnel in the local area to adequately staff all existing services."
Question. Will the amended COPCN require hiring of additional personnel in the BCI Service
Delivery Area to support existing, as well as new, COPCN duties?
No additional personn a neede-
You are already utilizing 10 volunteers to supplement the paid workforce to meet service
requirements. Existing BCI Service Delivery Area personnel (10 paramedics and 19 EMTs)
will require extensive and recurring training under the Medical Director and District trainers.

Question: Will this additional training, quality assurance reviews, etc', reduce the time that
current personnel have to provide existing services?
The District is currently providing training, 01A reviews for all district personnel and
continues to meet all required performance measures
Z. "That the applicant has sufficient knowledge and experience to properly operate the
proposed service."
Question: One ofthe specified training objectives discussed in the NNFOCC)PCN renewal in
2014 was to ensure that paramedics receive not only extensive training, butane rotated
among units to receive experience with varied procedures.

Question: How will BCI Service Delivery Area personnel be provided experience with varied
medical procedures?

3. "That, if applicable, there is an adequate revenue base for the proposed service."
Questions assume that costs will be incurred solely by BCI Service Delivery Area taxpayers.
Question: Can BCI Service Delivery Area taxpayers afford the cost of extending the COPCN
to their service area?
• What are the additional costs of operating under the COPCN?
• What are the one-time start-up costs? Identify each cost by category for equipment,
medical supplies, etc.
° What are the annual direct recurring costs by category, such as propoyfor paramedics
and EMTs, training, medical supplies, etc.
* What are the annual indirect allocation costs for training, supervision and management of
the 10 paramedics and 19 Ek4Ts - including cost allocations for the Medical Director, Chief
Agui|era, other training personnel, etc.?
The best way to determine if the BCI Service Delivery Area can afford the COPCN is to
estimate FY15 costs with the new allocation model, determine the reserves going into FY16
and update the revenue and expanses to see if sufficient funding is available in FY16 and
FY17.
Please provide the updated estimate of the FY15 budget for the B[3 Service Delivery Area -
similar to the consolidated North Collier budget included in the COPCN Amendment Request.
All revenue and expenditures should be updated with pay raises, cost allocation adjustments
(including the allocated costs already incurred for the medical training of BCI service area
personnel), and any other costs that would be incurred this fiscal year |f the Amended
COPCN is approved. Include the nni!|age reduction promised to BCI Service Delivery Area
taxpayers.

columns are updated (starting from the FY15 budget described above), to include one -time
and recurring costs of the COPCN amendment, the FY16 and FY17 columns should
demonstrate whether there is sufficient funding to accommodate the COPCN expansion.
4. "That the proposed service will have sufficient personnel and equipment to adequately
cover the proposed service area."
Question: Will your personnel and equipment be sufficient? Are additional personnel
needed? What new equipment is needed in the BCI Service Delivery Area? Any equipment
modifications? What medical supplies will be required?
No additionai personal - equipment as detailed in our request to the B€1FC
According to your Request for the COPCN Amendment, "the North Naples Office of the
Medical Director implemented a Paramedic Credentialing Academy for all of the State
Certified Paramedics employed by the BCIFD" with a personalized benchmarking program to
track progress in achieving critical skills and mandatory patient exposures, written exams
and one -on -one meetings with the District's Medical Director. What was the cost of that

RE: REQUEST TO AMEND THE NORTH COLLIER FIRE CONTROL AND RESCUE
DISTRICT CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC NECESSITY AND CONCERN
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District (District).
. please consider this
letter the District's request to amend its Certificate of Public NITeCeSSit 7 d Concern (COK
1 3 an rn I CN) to
allow for the provision of Class 3 Non-Transport Advanced Life Support (A ITS) services within
the boundaries of the District's Big Corkscrew Island Service Area.
C,
At the October 28, 2014 Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting, the
Board approved the annual renewal of the COPCIN-, and Permit issued to North Naples Fire
Control and Rescue District. On November 4. 2014, a merger of the North Naples Fire Control
and Rescue District and Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District vas approved by
referendum. Due to the pending merger on January 1, 2015 of the two independent special
=1 p
districts into the District, at its December 9. 2014 meeting, the Board approved to change the
name on North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District's COPCN to -Niorth Collier Fire Control
and Rescue District. No other chances to the COPCN -were approved and the service by the
District of Class 3 Non- Transport ALS services were limited to -die, North -Naples Service
Delivery Arm which matches the boundaries of the now merged Nortia Naples Fir-, Control and
Rescue District. The Board's approval allowed the District to obtain a state license to operate
non-transport services beginning January 1, 2015
The District is not requesting a new COPCN and Permit. Rather, we are requesting to amend our
existing COPCN and Permit to (1) update the District's Board of Fire co=issloners: C
expand its existing COPCN',s current service area to include the Big Corkscrev,,• Island Service

Standards G4 be Satisfied 4y the J x anded Ser a ce
The District's expanded service area will improve the overall emergency medical services of
Collier County by adding additional ALS non - transport response services, including two
apparatuses and the availability of a supervisory level ALS {wick Response Vehicle. in
February 2014, the Collier County Emergency Medical Services Depar talent provided the Board
with a presentation that illustrated the need for the addition of ALS non - transport services ir1 the
area now known as the Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area. in April 2014, Collier
County entered into an interlocal agreement with the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and
Rescue District to license one of its vehicles to provide ALS non- trarispoit services and provide a
County EMS Firefighter Paramedic to ride on their vehicle. This inter1ecal agreement has
continued and was not impacted by the merger. At this time, the District believes that it is in
both of our citizens' best interest to continue the interlocal agreement that was executed by
Collier County and the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District.
The District .seeks to add the same level of service and commit -meat to quality medical services
to the residents in the Big. Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area as currently provided in the
North Naples Service Delivery Area. Since the Board's granting of the initial COPCN iri 2011
to the former North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District for provision of ALS non - transport
services, the .addition of ALS non - transport services to the District's Nor�ill Naples Service
Delivery Area has allowed Collier County EMS the flexibility to reassign units and personnel to
other areas of Collier County in order to improve services. Collier County EMS is fully minding
the addition of a County Firefighter /Paramedic to staff one of the farmer Big Corkscrew Island's
Fire Control and Rescue District's apparatus in order to provide ALS non- transport services. By
authorizing the expansion of the District's service area to include the Bia- Corkscrew Island
Service Delivery Area, the continuation of the interlocal agreement will allow between one to
two additional ALS non - transport services within the Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery
Area without any new expense. It would be detrimental and result in a reduction in the level of
service to the more distance areas of the Big Corkscrew island Scr rice Delivery Area if the
interlocal agreern.ent was terminated.
By expanding the service area of the District's COPCN and Per-nldt.. the District will add another
10 Credentialed Paramedics and 19 E1VITs to the provision of emerg-enc:y medical services within
Collier County. In addition, 2 non - transport apparatus and 1 supervisor: y.ievel responder in a,
quick response vehicle will support idle provision of services. These are suficiellt numbers of
Paramedics and EIVITs to provide the level of service being requested in such a way that it
continues to have no impact on the staffiaig levels of the existing services.
The District will fund the provision of ALS non - transport services within. the Big Corkscrcv.,
Island Service Delivery Area utilizing a millage rate of 3.5 nails, which is below the maximuuln
millage rate allowed, 3.75 mils. Under the District's merger operational and transitional plans,
the District will have substantially reduced costs due to elimination of certain duplicative
functions. In the first five ive years, there is an estimated $2.3 ir' hard cost_ savings. Each
year thereafter. annual savings will be more than $1 million. In light of the effrciencics aind cost
savings that will result due to the merger; no change to this fuindirlg source rs ei.tller Necessary or
expected. One of the concerns raised dud in, the Big Corkscrew TSIand ?ire Contr ol and Rescue
District's 2014 COPC1\T application was its financial stabilitV. lr a idon to t. -ic estimated cosy:
savings afforded due to the merger, the District currently rlroviCeS %�'- non- uailsporll services

within the North Naples Service Delivery Area including areas covered t llrougrh mutual auto aide
agreements. 'Tl-ie District's North Naples Service Delivery Area has consistently funded Fire
Operations, Rescue Services and PrevcDdon Services, as well as Basic Life Suppoft and ALS
iron - transport services, utilizing its millage cap of 1. Mil. The mill' cap approved for the ..seal
year 2014 -2015 is .95 IM-1. Although there are two service delivery areas, ultimately, the District
is responsible for all expenses of the District.
We appreciate the Board's consideration of this request. The District lzas enjoyed the success R
partnership with Collier County since the Board's approval of our initial COPCN application.
Approval of this requested amendment will fecher solidify our partnership anal increase the
levels of emergency medical services not only within the Big Coricscrew island Service Delivery
Area but Collier County.
If you would lilce to discuss this matter farther, please feel free to contact i y office at your
earliest convenience.

RE: CoPCN Amendment
Dear Chief Stolz:
On March 10th, my office received your correspondence dated March 5th regarding your
agency(s) request to amend a Class 3 Non - Transport CoPCN services within the boundaries of the Big
Corkscrew Island Service Area {Fire District }.
As we look at your request, and the pending special legislative act to merge the District's, it seems
prudent for us to review the current interlocal agreement or other merger documents that substantiate
your request to essentially work as one district, or merge services into another. This information would
be helpful as we look to determine how the ordinance may address such merger or consolidation
arrangement(s).
Secondly, I am respectfully requesting additional information as to the justification for the need to
continue Collier County's engagement in an ALS engine program. If you are adding additional
credentialed and supervisory ALS personnel on a 24x7x356 basis, we would like to see stastical data that
substantiates the need for both services to be engaged in ALS.
Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. I look forward to your written comments.
Respectfully,

Re: Request to Amend Current COPCN
Dear Director Summers:
Thank you for your attached March 20, 2015, letter regarding the North Collier Fire Control and
Rescue District's (District) request to amend its Class 3 Non - Transport Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity ( COPCN) to include the District's Big Corkscrew Island Service
Delivery Area. Let me be clear ... there is only one independent special fire control and rescue
District, the District, which encompasses what was formally known as the Big Corkscrew Island
Fire Control & Rescue District and the North Naples Fire Control & Rescue District.
Pursuant to section 189.074, Florida Statutes, which provides the process for the voluntary
merger of two independent special Districts, once approved at referendum the two Districts are
merged as of the effective date identified in their final endorsed joint merger plan. At the
General Election on November 4, 2014. the referendum to merge Big Corkscrew Island Fire
Control & Rescue District and North Naples Fire Control & Rescue District into the District was
approved. In the case of the District, the merger's effective date was January 1, 2015. Section
189.074, Florida Statutes, specifically states that:
"[tjhe effective date of the merger shall be as provided in the joint merger
plan or elector- initiated merger plan, as appropriate, and is not contingent
upon the future act of the Legislature."
I have attached a copy of section 189.074, Florida Statutes, the Final Endorsed Joint Merger
Plan, and the certified election results. Also, to provide you some additional history on section
189.074, Florida Statutes (formerly section 189.4042, Florida Statutes), the Florida Senate
Interim Project 2011 -110, Merger of Independent Special Districts, is also attached.
As identified in the Final Endorsed Joint Merger Plan, the District is comprised of two
component units - the North Naples Service Delivery Area (formerly the geographic boundaries
of the North Naples Fire Control & Rescue District) and the Big Corkscrew Service Delivery
Area (formerly the geographic boundaries of the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control & Rescue
Packet Page -266-
9/8/2015 11. B.
District). The District's March 5, 2015, letter requested to serve the citizens of the Big
Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area, which is the area of the District that is currently not
`--' authorized to receive Non - Transport Advanced Life Support (ALS) Services from its own fire
service provider.
As it relates to the additional justification for the need to continue Collier County providing a
Collier County EMS Firefighter Paramedic, in accordance with section 189.074, all contracts of
Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control & Rescue District became obligations of the District on the
mergers effective date. The District did not want to presume the termination of the 2014
Interlocal Agreement that was executed by Collier County and the Big Corkscrew Island Fire
Control & Rescue District in the District's request, especially since the interlocal agreement and
the expansion of the District's Non - Transport ALS services results in improved lifesaving
services to the citizens of the Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area. If Collier County
elects to terminate the interlocal agreement, then please notify us in accordance with the
interlocal agreement.
I hope that this letter addresses your concerns so that Collier County can move forward with
consideration of the District's request to expand its COPCN to include its entire jurisdiction.
The unified charter provided for in Committee Substitute for House Bill 899 has no impact on
the effectiveness of the merger. Rather, it solely satisfies the requirement in section 189.074(4),
Florida Statutes, which requires:
"...as soon as practicable, the merged independent District shall—submit a
unified charter for the merged District to the Legislature for approval. The
unified charter must make the powers of the District consistent within the
merged independent District and repeal the special acts of the Districts which
existed before the merger."
I hope that the District seeking a local bill to comply with Florida law does not become a reason
to delay the expansion of Non - Transport ALS services by the District to the Big Corkscrew
Island Service Delivery Area. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional
information.
Sincerely,
t
Orly tolts

INTRODUCTION
Special districts are governed by Chapter 189, Florida Statutes, the Uniform Special
District Accountability Act of 1989, and are defined as a limited local government unit
established for a special purpose. Special districts have the authority granted by the
Florida Statutes, special acts, and if applicable, local government ordinances. An
independent special district is a special district that does not meet any of the four criteria
of a dependent district. Chapter 191, Florida Statutes, provides statutory authority to
independent special fire control districts.
The Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District ( "BCIFR ") and the North
Naples Fire Control and Rescue District ( "NNFD ") are both independent special fire
control districts created by special acts of the Florida Legislature, with BCIFR
established in 1977 and NNFD established in 1961. Each shall be deemed a
component independent special district as defined in section 189,07(1) Florida Statutes.
In November 2010, the voters of both BCIFR and NNFD voted in favor (70% in BCIFR
and 74% in NNFD) of consolidation of the fire districts "provided that consolidation will
improve efficiency and promote a more cost effective use of tax dollars ".
The process for merger of independent special districts is governed by sections
189.073, 189.074, and 189.075, Florida Statutes, which provide three methods of
merging two or more independent special districts: legislative merger by special act,
voluntary merger initiated by joint resolution of the governing bodies of each affected
district, or involuntary merger.
On February 6, 2014, the Board of Fire Commissioners of both BCIFR and NNFD
approved an interlocal agreement ( "Interlocal Agreement ") setting forth the terms and
conditions to consolidate administrative operations. In addition to the Interlocal
Agreement, the Fire Commissioners of BCIFR and NNFD also adopted Resolution 14-
001 and 14 -003, respectively, supporting the methodology for voluntary merging
pursuant to section 189.074, Florida Statutes. In addition, the Boards of Fire
Commissioners directed staff to develop a plan to determine if the merger of BCIFR and
NNFD into one independent special fire control district would improve efficiency and
promote a more cost effective use of tax dollars.
As evidenced by this Plan, the merger of BCIFR and NNFD WILL improve efficiency
and promote a cost effective use of tax dollars. In the first five years alone, the merger
will yield an estimated $2.3 million dollars in hard cost savings. Each year thereafter,
annual savings will be more than $1 million dollars. The merged district will result in

significant efficiencies:
• 1 government instead of 2
• 5 commissioners instead of 8
• 1 administration instead of 2
• 5 chief officers instead of 9
• Greater potential for the future reduction of the millage rate for the
taxpayers
The savings achieved will result in an increased level of service if the governing body of
the merged district elects to invest the savings back into emergency operations:
• 10 additional firefighters
• 2 additional quick response vehicles staffed full -time, and providing all
engines with minimum staffing of 3, which will improve the availability of all
responding apparatus
• The opportunity to jointly open and operate a planned NNFD new station
with 12 firefighters, increasing service level to BCIFR at a limited cost, and
reducing the cost of the planned new station for NNFD
All of this will be achieved within the first five years with NO increase in current millage
rate (and the potential for a decrease in millage rate) and maintaining cash reserves at
a level of 33% to 60% of budgeted expenses in each service delivery area.

B. Public Employees
Administration
On February 6, 2014, BCIFR and NNFD entered into an lnterlocal Agreement to
administratively consolidate the management and operational services of BCIFR and
NNFD until such time that a joint merger plan is implemented after voter approval at
referendum. The Fire Chief of NNFD was identified as the Fire Chief of both BCIFR and
NNFD, and the Fire Chief of BCIFR was designated as the Executive Chief of both
BCIFR and NNFD. The current Executive Level Organizational Chart, which identifies
the Management Team, is attached as Exhibit B. This Management Team is currently
comprised of the Fire Chief, Executive Chief, 2 Assistant Chiefs, 4 Deputy Chiefs and 1
Captain. The Management Team, as created through the lnterlocal Agreement, will
become the Management Team of the merged district upon the effective date of the
merger and will oversee the implementation of the joint merger plan and the transition of
assets, liabilities, personnel and operations within. During the initial five year period
following the merger, the Management Team will be reduced from its current 9
members to 5 members and be comprised of a Fire Chief, Assistant Chief and 3 Deputy
Chiefs, as identified in attached Exhibit C. The Management Team, present and future,
is supported by staff personnel providing Human Resources, Public Relations, Facilities
and Fleet Maintenance, Logistics, Accounts Payable /Accounts Receivable and
Communications /Information Technology services to the merged district. There are no
appointed officials to consider. The employees of the BCIFR and NNFD shall be
provided for below.
Administrative policies and procedures shall be combined as a result of the lnterlocal
Page S of 29
Packet Page -285-
9/8/2015 11. B.
Agreement following the effective date of the merger. In addition to financial and basic
administrative policies, the merging of administrative services has allowed for the
sharing of computer programming and resources resulting in savings and cost
avoidances for each of the respective districts.
The administrative, human resource and financial functions of both BCIFR and NNFD
are dictated by a variety of Florida Statutes, Auditor General requirements, internal and
external policies, and federal laws.
BCIFR Current Administration
BCIFR currently accomplishes its administrative, human resource and financial
functions through the Fire Chief, 1 Assistant Fire Chief and 1 Administrative Assistant.
NNFD Current Administration
NNFD currently performs its administrative, human resource and financial functions
through 1 Assistant Fire Chief, 1 Human Resource Generalist, 1 Accountant, 2
Administrative Assistants and 1 part -time Data Entry Clerk.
Combined Administration Benefits
Currently, each independent special fire control district must individually perform their
respective administrative, human resource and financial functions. The ability to
combine these functions will result in an elimination of duplicative positions and a more
efficient and cost effective administration. Benefits include:
Financial and budgeting functions can be accomplished by one finance team
instead of two;
Human resource functions can be accomplished by one team instead of two, and
can be more comprehensive and effective, with the risk management function
enhanced;
Future consolidation of two collective bargaining agreements into one (subject to
statutory negotiation requirements);
r
"Best practice" administrative and financial policies can be adopted for use by the
merged district;
Utilization of existing financial software and reporting will result in cost avoidance
Transitional Plan
The administrative merger is already in process pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement.
Pace 9 of 29
Packet Page -286-
9/8/2015 11. B.
The transitional process is as follows:
r Full integration of finance, human resource and administrative employees will be
complete by the effective date of the merger. BCIFR Administrative Assistant will
provide human resource assistance to NNFD Human Resource Generalist;
NNFD Accountant will provide accounts payable and receivable assistance to
BCIFR; administrative support staff will provide assistance and backup at all
facilities.
BCIFR and NNFD will each adopt their budgets for the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2014 and October 1, 2015 pursuant to the statutory process. The
budgets will be administered and reported, and the financial reporting will
continue individually as required by Ch. 189.074, even after the effective date of
the merger. By utilization of the cost allocation method developed, separate
budgets will be maintained and tracked, along with cash reserves, until such time
as there is one millage rate levied district wide and taxing subunits have been
eliminated. The provision for continuation of the cost allocation utilization,
maintenance of separate budgets and cash reserves will be included in the new
merged districts' unified charter legislation. Notwithstanding, the financial and
budgetary functions will be accomplished by the newly integrated financial
personnel.
The financial software of NNFD will be utilized to establish the financial accounts
and reporting for BCIFR, with only minor associated cost for additional licensing.
The transition of financial records will be completed within 60 days of the
effective date of the merger.
Uniform financial and administrative policies will be adopted within 90 days of the
effective date of the merger.
BCIFR has a Collective Bargaining Agreement with Local 4522 in effect through
September 30, 2016. NNFD has a Collective Bargaining Agreement with Local
2297 in effect through September 30, 2015. While any matters relative to the
unification of the two local fire unions, and wage and benefit matters are subject
to negotiation pursuant to Chapter 447, Florida Statutes, it has been indicated by
both local fire unions that there is support for unification of the two independent
special fire control districts, which may result in a unified collective bargaining
agreement being achieved within five years. Wages and benefits would be
equalized through a multi -year tiered process. Any harmonization costs resulting
from such unification would be allocated to the appropriate service delivery area.
Pension plan unification will occur as follows:
o All general employees will be members of the Florida Retirement System,
as general employees of NNFD are currently designated. Any general
employee ineligible for participation in the Florida Retirement System shall
Pane 10 of 29

,, participate in the 401(a) plan currently available to NNFD general
employees ineligible for participation in the Florida Retirement System.
• All elected officials will be members of the Florida Retirement System, as
elected officials of NNFD are currently designated. Any elected official
ineligible for participation in the Florida Retirement System shall
participate in the 401(a) plan currently available to NNFD elected officials
ineligible for participation in the Florida Retirement System.
• Current employees designated as "Special Risk" (State Certified sworn
firefighters) will have a one -time election to either remain as participants in
the Florida Retirement System ( "FRS ") (Special Risk Category), as all
special risk employees of BCIFR are currently designated and as those
employed by NNFD prior to January 1, 1996 are designated, or as
participants in the NNFD Chapter 175 Firefighter Pension Plan, as all
sworn employees of NNFD hired after January 1, 1996 are designated.
Such election shall be effective as identified in Chapter 175, Florida
Statutes. Any current employee of BCIFR or NNFD opting to leave FRS
and enter into the Chapter 175 Firefighter Pension Plan will freeze his or
her current benefit earned in the FRS plan and enter into the Chapter 175
Firefighter Pension Plan as a new member, subject to the vesting
requirements. Any retirement benefit earned in the FRS will not be
assumed and transferred to the Chapter 175 Firefighter Pension Plan. All
future employees of the newly merged district designated as Special Risk
shall be participants in the NNFD Chapter 175 Firefighter Pension Plan.
Fire Prevention
BCIFR Current Fire Prevention Activities
BCIFR has 1 Inspector and 1 Public Outreach Coordinator assigned to the BCIFR Fire
Prevention Bureau with an average experience level of 8 years. In addition, the Fire
Chief (certified Inspector for 19 years) currently serves as its Fire Marshal. The BCIFR
Fire Prevention Bureau is divided into two divisions (Prevention /Inspection and Public
Education /Outreach) and is responsible for conducting annual inspections, occupational
licensing inspections, new construction inspections, public education /training and fire
investigation services. The current staffing levels allow BCIFR to provide 43 annual,
occupational and new construction inspections and 314 varied inspections services
within the BCIFR. In addition, through a variety of Public Education programs, the
BCIFR Fire Prevention Bureau personnel delivered vital Fire and Life Safety messages
to 13,699 members of the BCIFR community and Collier County.
NNFD Current Fire Prevention Activities
Pne 17 of 29
Packet Page -288-
9/8/2015 11. B.
NNFD currently has 1 Deputy Chief and 9 inspectors assigned to the NNFD Fire
Prevention Bureau with an average experience level of 12 years. The NNFD Fire
Prevention Bureau is divided into three divisions (Existing, New Construction and Public
Education) that are responsible for conducting annual inspections, occupational
licensing inspections, new construction inspections, fire investigations and providing
public education. The current staffing levels allowed the NNFD to provide 8,554 annual,
occupational and new construction inspections and 1,366 varied inspections services
within NNFD. In addition, through a variety of Public Education programs, the NNFD
Fire Prevention Bureau personnel delivered vital Fire and Life Safety messages to
15,972 members of the NNFD community and Collier County.
Combined Fire Prevention Activities
The Fire Prevention Division will be supervised by the Deputy Chief of Fire and Life
Safety /Fire Marshal. The combined benefits of merger provide an efficient, effective
and quality service for today and tomorrow. The realization of scale economy
achievements through allocative efficiency service delivery includes the following:
One Deputy Chief /Fire Marshal position — full time and dedicated to the position,
with a resultant salary/benefit cost avoidance of approximately $100,000 (in
addition to the "hard cost" savings identified in the plan).
r Increase in daily staffing capabilities to increase annual inspections to 40% of
the existing structures within the merged district as per Chapter 633, Florida
Statutes (increase from 33 %) and improve new inspection response times to
within 24 — 36 hours (currently 24-48 hours).
Additional resources (equipment and personnel) to provide support to the public
education programs and increase the total population served by 10%
Improvements in technology to improve record keeping and monitoring of
services provided.
Investigation services will be enhanced with 1 inspector being given the
responsibility to oversee investigations and compile the appropriate reports.
An available team of investigators (4 total) will be established within the existing
personnel.
Juvenile Fire Setter certified instructor will oversee the program and eliminate
the need for additional personnel to receive the certification, and with the benefit
of additional inspectors /investigators, reduce the amount of overtime currently
realized by 25 %.
The plans review will be conducted in house which will provide a more effective
service to the end -user as it relates to building construction, streamlining
communications between inspectors, plans reviewers and the merged district's
customers_ Plans review in -house will allow for inspectors to work directly with
the reviewers and allow for a more effective field inspection process.

Increase in Fire Prevention / Fire Inspection / Fire Investigation levels of service
to meet the demands of growth and special events.
Transitional Plan
Combining of personnel and assignments will be complete within 30 days
from the effective date of the merger
Combining of information technology and record keeping systems will be
complete within 90 days from the effective date of the merger
Investigation Branch will be developed and implemented within 120 days
of the effective date of the merger
r Existing policies, procedures, service fees and ordinances will be
integrated, as per Florida Statutes, and completion is expected within the
first year. Fees will remain as currently set within each component district
until such time as a new fee structure is adopted for the merged district.
In summary, within the first year of engagement, the transition from two Fire Prevention
Bureaus into one Fire and Life Safety Division will be complete. The enhancement to
the Fire Prevention Activities will allow for a more cohesive approach and delivery for
public. The merging of these two districts will allow the merged district that experienced
growth in the past and fought to keep pace with it, to share their knowledge and
experience to the new growth area as the pendulum swings eastward. As a merged
district, the combined Fire and Life Safety Division will be ready for the growth and be
able to maintain continuity of operations while providing an effective, efficient and
quality level of service.
Operations
BCIFR Current Shift Operations
BCIFR currently operates with 24 uniformed shift personnel assigned to three shifts,
operating from 2 stations with 2 frontline apparatus, 6 specialty units and 1 reserve
engine. Uniformed shift personnel work 24 hours on -duty with 48 hours off - this work
schedule equates to 2,704 annual work hours. This equals 64,896 annual labor hours
(excludes overtime hours) to handle 1,475 annual service calls within 194 square miles
for a full -time resident population of 13,724 during the 2013 calendar year. Calls for
service include, but are not limited to: Fire Suppression, Basic Life Support/ Advanced
Life Support operations commence 4 -1 -14 (medical), Basic Hazardous Materials, Motor
Vehicle accidents and rescue operations. Technical rescue operations (collapse,
trench, high angle, dive, etc.) and advanced haz -mat operations require the use of
special response teams through mutual aid with other independent special fire control

districts.
The current station and apparatus configurations allowed BCIFR during the 2013
calendar year to achieve a district -wide average response time of 7.81 minutes as
identified in the Florida State Fire Marshals Annual NFIRS report. In addition, in the
most recent ISO evaluation, BCIFR was given a rating of "4" for all residence / business
within 5 road miles of the fire stations.
NNFD Current Shift Operations
NNFD currently operates with 110 uniformed shift personnel under 2 Battalions,
operating from 7 stations (with an 8th under construction) with 9 frontline apparatus, 11
specialty units, 4 boats (1 fire suppression, 3 rescue) and 4 reserve Engines. Uniformed
shift personnel work 24 hours on -duty with 48 hours off - this work schedule equates to
2,704 annual work hours. This equals 297,440 annual labor hours (excludes overtime
hours) to handle 13,742 annual service calls within 70 square miles for a full -time
resident population of 95,000 during the 2013 calendar year. Calls for service include
but are not limited to: Fire Suppression, Basic and Advanced Life Support (medical),
Advanced Hazardous Materials, High- Angle, Structural Collapse, Trench Rescue Water
Rescue (dive and boat) and Water Fire Suppression.
The current station and apparatus configurations allowed NNFD during the 2013
calendar year to achieve a district -wide average response time of 6.74 minutes as
identified in the Florida State Fire Marshals Annual NFIRS report. In addition, in the
most recent ISO evaluation, NNFD was given a rating of "3° for all residence / business
within 5 road miles of the fire stations.
Combined Operational Benefits
The combined benefits of merger provide an efficient and effective service for today and
tomorrow. The realization of scale economy achievements through allocative efficiency
operations includes the following components:
Minimum staffing of 3 for all fire apparatus
Increase in water resource capabilities for non - hydrant areas through 2 additional
water tenders
Increase in daily staffing personnel to handle service calls, thus reducing
overtime
Improvement in response times
Increase in number of on -duty special response team members available to
handle hazardous material, dive and boat operations, and technical rescue calls
— this too reduces overtime while maintaining adequate staffing levels
r Increase in staging options during major disaster events (i.e. hurricanes)

Improved level of service can be achieved through the allocation of savings realized
from the merger to provide additional staff and units available:
r Additional 6 firefighters added in Year 2 to staff 2 quick response vehicles, one in
BCIFR and one in NNFD service delivery area, transitioning an existing unit
currently in service part -time to full -time. These two additional full -time units will
improve the availability of all responding apparatus without dropping minimum
staffing of fire apparatus below 3.
Additional 4 firefighters added in Year 5, providing an additional beach response
unit in NNFD and increasing staff to eliminate potential overtime in BCIFR
Increase in combined daily staffing from 34 to 41 (includes the new joint station).
Increase in HazMat Technicians daily staffing from 7 to 10
Increase in Technical Rescue Team daily staffing from 7 to 10
Increase in Dive Team response members from 5 to 8
Increase in number of units available to respond from 11 to 14
The BCIFR volunteer program will remain in effect. There is no expectation that
volunteer members will be automatically converted to paid personnel upon merger. As
positions for firefighter become available within the merged district, BCIFR volunteers
will be encouraged to apply.
Transitional Plan
The merged district will incorporate operational components to include the following:
Run card changes for closest unit response
Addition of 1 fire station in the Heritage BaylTwin Eagles area coupled with one
Engine. This station is a planned addition for NNFD, but will now be a joint
station.
Addition of 1 eastern Battalion to enhance our Incident Management System
throughout the BCIFR boundaries
TRAINING
Pace 15 of 29
Packet Page -292-
9/8/2015 11. B.
BCIFR Traininq Division
BCIFR has a Training Division made up of an Operations/Training Captain with support
from the Lieutenants, Assistant Chief and Fire Chief (6 of which are Instructor Certified).
Currently, the training division deploys 1 training opportunity per day, on a three day
rotation which starts on Tuesdays. In addition to the hands -on trainings noted, there is
component computer based training and District Familiarization training each month.
These trainings are designed to both meet the specific needs of the community and the
standards that are set by ISO, OSHA, and NFPA.
NNFD Training Division & Center
NNFD has a Training Division made up of a Deputy Chief of Safety Training and Special
Operations, Battalion Commander of Training and a Captain of Training all of which are
Certified State Fire Instructors. Special Operations disciplines consist of Hazardous
Materials Team, Technical Rescue Team, Boat Team and Dive Rescue Team.
Currently, the training division deploys 2 training opportunities per day, on a three day
rotation which starts on Tuesdays. These trainings are designed to both meet the
specific needs of the community and the standards that are set by ISO, OSHA, and
NFPA.
NNFD also maintains a State recognized regional training center for both EMS and Fire
Training. The site meets all State Training Requirements and is inspected annually for
both EMS and Fire training by both the Department of Health and the State Fire
Marshal's Office. Currently, there is a fully accredited fire academy directed and
coordinated by the Deputy Chief of Safety, Training and Special Operations, in addition
to company training, being conducted at the training center.
Combined Training and Special Operational Team Benefits
As with Operations, the Training Division will have many benefits that may be
immediately realized:
The increase in apparatus, personnel and training staff will allow for better
coverage during all training activities.
Target Solutions Software (training and activities)
The increase in certified training officers, working a 40 hour schedule, will enable
them to work directly together and increase safety during training evolutions.
r Joint training of the firefighters will increase the efficiency and effectiveness in
mitigating large scale events (high-rise/wild land urban - interface fires, natural
disasters, etc).
Paae 16 of 29
Packet Page -293-
9/8/2015 11. B.
:- Live fire training opportunities will increase, as many structures that are permitted
for demolition are within the eastern corridor of the new district and present
realistic scenarios.
y Increase in staffing will allow for a greater pool of Special Team Members in all
four disciplines.
Transitional Plan
Currently, BCIFR and NNFD both operate under the same Standard Operating
Procedures ( "SOP "). Part of the transition will be to increase BCIFR firefighter
efficiencies /awareness in high -rise operations while also increasing NNFD firefighter
efficiencies /awareness in wildland urban - interface firefighting.
All personnel have a basic training related to high -rise and wildland urban -
interface fires. More advanced training can be done in -house using currently
certified instructors, at no additional cost.
r
All special operations team training and certifications are performed in -house as
NNFD has nationally recognized instructors in all four disciplines.
The training of new team members for all four teams is a continual process that
goes on within NNFD, and, therefore, the training of additional personnel who
choose to participate will not have a financial impact, as this too can be done in-
house.
The blending of both districts training schedules will allow for a more effective
use of training staff.

Benefits that will be realized by the Support Services /Logistics Division include but are
not limited to:
3 EVT Mechanics will allow for a more efficient turn - around of downed apparatus,
and allow for more preventative maintenance to occur as their focus will solely be
on apparatus and vehicle maintenance and repair.
2 Facilities Technicians will increase efficiencies by combining contracts and
working with existing personnel to complete assigned tasks and maintain records
of service.
1 Computer Technologist will be able to provide service to both agencies,
thereby eliminating the need to hire a second provider.
Operations positions currently in the support services /logistics division can be
absorbed by other members of the support services /logistics through attrition,
creating a leaner, more efficient division.
Only 1 Administrative Assistant would be needed to assist the support
services /logistics division, which would allow the other to better perform their
regular duties in a more efficient manner.
Transitional Plan
The combining of the Support Services /Logistics Divisions will allow for a more
streamlined use of personnel, allow for greater opportunities for bulk purchase and
provide an more efficient and quality division overall.
All computer software, programming and training will be updated as necessary to
maintain continuity of operations.
Uniforms, equipment and supplies will be systematically integrated throughout a
period of years (based on life- expectancy of the items) to allow for uniformity of
appearance, operation and cost.
The record keeping and inventory data will be reviewed, combined and updated.
The blending of both independent special fire control districts' fleet maintenance
schedules will allow for a more effective use of the mechanics, and can begin
immediately upon the effective date of the merger.
SECTION Vi
Fiscal Estimate of Potential Cost or Savings as a Result of Mercier (section
189.074(2)(a)6 Florida Statutes)
A detailed analysis has been completed, first by analyzing projected five year revenue
and expenditure projections for BCIFR and NNFD individually, and then jointly to
determine cost effectiveness of a potential merger (Exhibits D through H).
Page 19 of 29
Packet Page -296-
9/8/2015 11. B.
In determining potential savings resulting from the merger, emphasis was placed on the
General Fund (or operating account) for each independent special fire control district,
since the other funds (such as the Impact Fee Fund and the Inspection Fee Fund) are
restricted in use and generally supported by their funding sources.
Property tax and other revenue assumptions utilized remained constant for individual
and joint analysis. BCIFR assumed an increase in taxable property value of 11.4% in
Year 1 (2014 -2015) based on preliminary taxable value provided by the Collier County
Property Appraiser, and a 7% increase per year in Years 2 through 5, which includes
both appreciation in current property value and projected growth. NNFD assumed an
increase in taxable property value of 5.4% in Year 1 (2014 -2015) based on preliminary
taxable property value provided by the Collier County Property Appraiser, and a 3%
increase per year in Years 2 through 5, which includes both appreciation in current
property value and projected growth.
For the individual district analysis, expenditures were estimated based on the 2013 -14
fiscal year budgeted expenses for each independent special fire control district, and the
following factors:
Operating expenses for both BCIFR and NNFD were increased annually by
2.74 %, the average Consumer Price Index increase in all products over the last
10 years. Both BCIFR and NNFD assumed a 5% increase in health insurance
costs and personnel expense increases pursuant to the existing Collective
Bargaining Agreement in effect.
NNFD assumed a retirement rate of 70% of all those bargaining unit
employees eligible, either by age or length of service, with those retiring
replaced by new employees, and capital expenditures pursuant to the
equipment, vehicle and apparatus replacement schedules. Additionally,
provision is made for 12 new firefighters in Year 5 (2018 -2019) to provide
staffing for the anticipated Station near Heritage Bay/Twin Eagles.
A cost allocation model to equitably distribute costs of the merged district has been
developed, and all General Fund budgeted expenditures have been identified as either
direct or indirect costs. Direct costs have been allocated to the component district in
which it was budgeted. Indirect costs have been allocated dependent upon the specific
cost center. The cost methodology employed is dependent upon the unit of analysis for
a given cost allocation center.
Personnel expense allocations were calculated as follows:
r Chief Officers — A matrix was developed identifying the annual salary and
benefits cost for each Chief Officer, the weighted activities for each position, the
current cost allocation of each activity, a cost allocation factor, and then an
assignment of cost to BCIFR and NNFD based on the employing district.
Pmye 20 of 29
Packet Page -297-
9/8/2015 11. B.
Support Personnel— For those support employee costs not identified as direct
costs, the following cost factors were identified:
• Number of employees (HR /Payroll /Benefit functions)
• Square footage of stations and facilities (facilities personnel)
• Number of apparatus and vehicles (vehicle maintenance personnel)
• Number of annual inspections (fire prevention personnel )
Operational Personnel — All current operational personnel at station level have
been identified as direct costs of the employing district. The cost for future
operational employees hired by the merged district will be allocated based upon
call volume.
Allocation of operating expenses were calculated using the following cost factors:
Call volume.
7 Square footage of stations and facilities.
:= Number of employees.
Annual budget.
Y Property value.
Number of apparatus and vehicles.
Where appropriate, multiple factors were utilized with weighted significance.
The financial analysis performed identifies the hard cost savings that will be realized as
a result of the merger. An estimated $2.3 million will be saved in the first 5 years.
Thereafter, annual savings will be more than $1 million per year. In the first 5 years
alone, 5 management and administrative positions will be eliminated. A portion of the
savings realized in the first 5 years can be allocated to the addition of 10 firefighters, six
in Year 2 and four in Year 5, with savings retained in reserves to accommodate the
future funding for these additional firefighters.
Four of the 9 current Chief Officers and 1 administrative employee are scheduled to
retire within the first 5 years of the merger. Those individuals are Fire Chief Orly Stolts
— October 1, 2016, Assistant Chief Michael Ginson — June 30, 2017, Executive Chief
Rita M Greenberg — June 30, 2019, Deputy Chief Michael Swanson — June 30, 2019,
and Public Information Officer Jerry Sanford — October 1, 2018. The management
structure will be reengineered with responsibilities reallocated in order to eliminate the
positions of Executive Fire Chief, the Assistant Chief of Support Services, the Deputy
Chief of Training, the Captain /(BCIFR Chief) of Training and Operations, and the Public
Information Officer. While retirement is not mandatory, the merged district's governing
body will eliminate the positions at the time retirement is expected to ensure the
Paoe 21 of 29
Packet Page -298-
9/8/2015 11. B.
position will be vacated. Once the identified positions are vacated, they will not be filled.
As evidenced by the financial analyses, the merger will result in a total hard cost
savings of an estimated $2.3 million in the first five years alone in just the General Fund.
This savings may be used, in part, to add additional units and operational personnel to
improve the level of service in both districts, opportunities for a reduction in taxing rate
for each service delivery area, or a combination thereof.
The projected savings in the first five years for BCIFR is $974,084, and is a result of:
Reduction in personnel costs related to health insurance resulting from the
change in designation from a small employer with less than fifty employees
(savings only available through merger, not interlocal agreement).
Reduction in retirement costs related to receipt of State Premium Tax Funds
(savings only available through merger, not interlocal agreement).
r Elimination of two Chief Officer positions through attrition.
The elimination of information technology contract services resulting from
utilization of NNFD Information Technology Administrator.
It must be noted that there are potential projected wage and benefit harmonization costs
which have not been included in the financial projections attached. These
harmonization costs are subject to the collective bargaining process, and could result
in an annual cost of up to $389,000. However, these costs will be funded through
property value increases generated above the conservative estimates of growth and
appreciation reflected in the financial projections, and implemented and managed
through the annual budgetary and collective bargaining processes.
In the case of NNFD, estimated savings in the first five years total $1,329,126. This
projected savings is a result of:
r Reduction in annual retirement expenses due to the receipt of State Premium
Tax Funds. NNFD currently has a Chapter 175 Firefighters' Pension Plan.
Pursuant to Ch. 175, Florida Statutes, this plan is partially funded by the tax on
property insurance paid by all policy holders. The State Premium Tax Funds
currently collected and received from within BCIFR are retained by the State of
Florida, since BCIFR does not participate in a Chapter 175 Firefighters' Pension
Plan_ If merger occurs, current members of NNFD's Chapter 175 Firefighters'
Pension Plan would continue to participate in the plan, and all newly hired
firefighters would enter into the plan. The merged district would then receive the
State Premium Tax Funds from the BCIFR area currently collected and received
by the State of Florida, resulting in a reduction of costs to the General Fund,

Elimination of two Chief Officer positions through attrition.
Elimination of public information officer position through attrition.
Allocation of administrative and Chief Officer personnel costs to BCIFR.
Allocation of firefighter personnel costs for Heritage Bay/Twin Eagles station to
BCIFR.
In addition to calculated savings in the General Fund, it is anticipated that savings for
the impact fee fund for the development of future infrastructure will also be realized.
Future station sites planned by both component districts may be consolidated where
practical.
A 5 -year financial analysis has been prepared reflecting the following:
• Identified savings of merger utilized to add 6 total firefighters in Year 2: three cost
allocated to BCIFR and three cost allocated to NNFD, and 4 total firefighters in
Year 5: two2 cost allocated to BCIFR and two cost allocated to NNFD
• New station added in Year 5, with 10% charge to BCIFR. This station is a
planned addition for NNFD with or without the merger; however, if merger occurs,
cost sharing can occur.
• Millage rate reduction to 3.45 mils for BCIFR in Years 1 through 5 and 0.95 mils
for NNFD in Years 1 through 5
The analysis and summary is attached as Exhibits D through I.
