Resolution 2018-193 RESOLUTION NO.2018 - 19 3
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA,
SUPPORTING THE CITY OF NAPLES STATE
APPROPRIATION REQUEST FOR THE NAPLES BAY RED
TIDE SEPTIC TANK MITIGATION PROJECT.
WHEREAS, the City of Naples (City) and Collier County (County) have partnered to
convert septic tanks to a centralized sanitary sewer system to improve water quality by reducing
nutrient loading in the sensitive, impaired waters of the Gordon River Extension that flows into
Naples Bay and enters the Gulf of Mexico; and
WHEREAS, although Karenia Brevis (red tide) blooms naturally offshore, once close to
the coastline, many scientists believe that the red tide blooms may use both human-contributed
and natural nutrients as fuel; and
WHEREAS,the project would remove nutrients and other pollutants generated from 366
septic tanks in a low to moderate income neighborhood which historically floods; and
WHEREAS, to minimize disruption to the area, as the construction of the sanitary sewer
collection system is occurring, the County will make stormwater management improvements on
multiple streets between Goodlette Frank Road and U.S. 41; and
WHEREAS, the joint project is located in unincorporated Collier County but within the
water and sewer service area of the City of Naples; and
WHEREAS,the City has established a Special Assessment District to assess the property
owners for the septic tank abandonment and service to central sewer; and
WHEREAS, the City is requesting a legislative appropriation to subsidize the cost of the
project in order to lower the final assessments to this low to moderate income neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, to support an application by the
City of Naples for up to $1,200,000 in State appropriations for the Naples Bay Red Tide Septic
Tank Mitigation Project.
