Agenda 11/12/2013 Item #17Bn EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
n
11/1212013 17.B.
Recommendation to adopt an Ordinance repealing the ordinances which created the
Animal Services Advisory Board, the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, the
Collier County Public Health Unit Advisory Board, the Collier County Council of
Economic Advisors, the Marco Island Vision Planning Advisory Committee, and the
County Government Productivity Committee.
OBJECTIVE: To terminate advisory boards and committees that are no longer active or
necessary, and are not required by statute.
CONSIDERATIONS: At the workshop held on October 1, 2013, the Board of County
Commissioners, after thorough deliberation, determined that certain advisory boards /committees
that are no longer active or necessary, and are not required by statute should be dissolved. Some
of the identified boards /committees have been inactive for many years. The proposed Ordinance
will repeal the ordinances that created the following advisory boards/committees:
• Animal Services Advisory Board;
• Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee;
• Collier County Public Health Unit Advisory Board;
• Collier County Council of Economic Advisors;
Marco Island Vision Planning Advisory Committee; and
• County Government Productivity Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approximately $300 to advertise the ordinance.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and
requires a majority vote for Board approval. The Board also authorized the dissolution of the
Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (the "CCLAAC'). Unlike the above
advisory boards, which were created under their own distinct ordinances, the CCLAAC was
created as part of the Conservation Collier Ordinance, and cannot be dissolved without
substantial changes to the body of this Ordinance. Among the issues, the Ordinance requires that
the CCLAAC provide input on both future land purchases and management plans (which plans
are required to be updated every five years). In that the Board has a workshop on November 51'
regarding Conservation Collier, the County Attorney elected to hold off on amending this
ordinance to eliminate the CCLAAC until receiving further Board direction. A copy of the
Conservation Collier Ordinance highlighting the CCLAAC is attached as back -up to this
Executive Summary. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopts the attached
Ordinance repealing the ordinances which created the Animal Services Advisory Board, the
Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, the Collier County Public Health Unit Advisory
