6/14/2011 Item 16.A.12.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to request the Board of County Commissioners (Board) waive false
alarm citation fees for the District School Board of Collier County.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board approve waiver of citation fees incurred for false alarm
citations.
CONSIDERATIONS: The District School Board of Collier County has received fifty one
False Alarm citations since May of 2006. The total amount of citation fees due, including
collection fees, is $4,867.88. The Collier County School System has achieved compliance
to assure no additional false alarms occur by repairing and/or replacing the entire alarm
system at locations cited. There has been no re-occurrence of False Alarms since the
repairlreplacement action was taken. The Collier County Sheriff's Office reviewed and has
concurred that the citation fees should be waived.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by the Board, citation fees in the amount of $4,867.88 will be
waived.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The False Alarm Ordinance provides in relevant part that
"Fines and costs imposed against a responsible party are to be distributed as follows:
$5.00 to Collier County Code Enforcement as an administrative fee, and the balance of the
funds of each fine is to be deposited in the fine and forfeitures funds of the sheriff's office to
offset the sheriff's operating budget costs." The Sheriff has already agreed to waive the
sums due his Office. Of the amount due, only $255 is owed to Collier County. It is this
amount that the Board is being asked to waive, which waiver requires majority approval.
JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board waive the False Alarm citation fees.

Subject: RE: Collier County Public Schools- false alarm citations
Diane,
I would like to once again thank you for explaining the situation to me and all of the background. After
being briefed by you about the modification of Code Enforcement, especially since the downturn in the
economy, to work with those who have been fined to come into compliance, along with reviewing the
steps by the C.C.P.S. to repair or completely replace those alarm systems that were not functioning
properly, I am supportive of the recommendation by the Executive Summary to waive the citation fees
based on their efforts to fully come into compliance.
Respectfully, Jim
Chief of Operations
