Agenda 05/22/2012 Item #16K 25/22/2012 Item 16.K.2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct the County Attorney to advertise and bring back an Ordinance
to repeal an unnumbered ordinance codified as Sec. 2 -26 (Franchises generally) in the Code
of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners (Board) repeals an unnumbered
ordinance codified as Sec. 2 -26 (Franchises generally) in the Code of Laws and Ordinances of
Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: As part of the County Attorney's approved Action Plan, the County
Attorney's Office is conducting a complete review of the Collier County Code of Laws and
Ordinances to identify and correct inconsistencies that may have resulted from years of revision
and ensure that the Ordinances are not in conflict with current State or Federal law. This is part
of a series of Executive Summaries that will be coming to the Board.
Prior to the 1968 Florida Constitution Revision, which granted counties home rule power, all
municipal powers were dependent upon a specific delegation of authority by the legislature in a
general law or by special act.
As codified by the Municipal Code Corporation, State legislation in 1961 (Laws of Fla. Ch. 61-
557, Sec. 1) created the following local law in Collier County:
Sec. 2 -26. - Franchises generally.
In addition to all other powers granted by law, the County acting through its
Board of County Commissioners may exercise its power of government for
County purposes by granting exclusive or nonexclusive franchises to persons and
municipal and quasimunicipal bodies for the performance of any proprietary
function, authority or power, or part thereof, and limit, condition, regulate and
otherwise control the use and performance of such franchise. No such franchise
shall extend into nor conflict with any incorporated municipality within such
County. The Board of County Commissioners may not regulate or control the use
of such franchise granted to any utility subject to the jurisdiction of the public
Service Commission, or cooperatives organized and existing under the rural
electrification cooperative law of this State.
The act codified in the above section was repealed as a state act and assumed ordinance
status pursuant to Laws of Fla. Ch. 71 -29.
The County Attorney knows of no purpose to be served by retaining this 51 -year old
piece of legislation as a County ordinance. Collier County may now exercise its right to grant
franchises in furtherance of its home rule powers.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of advertising the Ordinance is approximately $300.00 and will
be paid from the County Attorney's budget.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN (GMP) IMPACT: None.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the County
Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient for Board action. A majority vote is required for
Board approval (JAK)
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board directs the County Attorney to advertise and bring
back an Ordinance repealing in its entirety an unnumbered ordinance codified as Sec. 2 -26
(Franchises generally) in the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County.
