Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #11C (Repairs to 42nd Avenue SE)07/13/2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a Resolution directing the County Manager to take immediate action to make the minimum necessary repairs required to facilitate the transport of emergency service vehicles on 42nd Avenue SE and approve all necessary budget amendments. OBJECTIVE: To make repairs to 42nd Avenue SE to make the roads accessible for emergency vehicles. CONSIDERATIONS: As set forth in the back-up material, Greater Naples Fire Rescue District (GNFRD) Chief J. Nolan Sapp notified the Growth Management Department recently about the following conditions of the subject roadway: The GNFRD “was tasked with visually inspecting 42nd Ave SE, a private street located off Everglades Blvd S. in the Golden Gate Estates section of Greater Naples Fire Rescue response area. The purpose was to identify the condition of the road, and what state of repair it is in, with regard to response readiness.” The travel time from Everglades Blvd S. to the end of 42nd Ave SE was evaluated to identity whether any hazards were presented by the roadway condition. The GNFRD reported: 1. 42nd Ave SE (approx. 1.25-mile-long), took over 5 minutes in a pickup truck to traverse to the end. a. The street is comprised of small potholes to large ones, which are roughly up to 12 inches deep and larger in diameter than the staff vehicle driven. b. There are rolling rises and low spots, which present a hazard with low hanging plumbing of the larger apparatus. c. These large (in length and width) potholes in the road will hold water, and the depth of these holes will not be able to be determined by responding units. Crews will not know if they are 4” deep or if they are 2’ deep. This will cause further delay in response during rainy season. d. 42nd Ave SE’s condition would cause approximately a 30 plus minute shuttle relay if required to respond to a working structure or wildland fire at the east end of the road. e. The street is not conducive to ALS care or CPR in a Traumatic or Cardiac Care mission. The time to travel and condition of the street would allow conditions to deteriorate rapidly in some cases. The attached Resolution seeks to strike a balance with the Board’s obligations to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Collier County, with its duty to respect the Constitutional private property rights of owners of private roads, and the prohibition of public expenditures for a private purpose. Since the cost utilized to repair the private roads will be ultimately borne solely by the residents serviced by the private road, the County Attorney has previously opined that the proposed procedure is legally sound. In accordance with the County’s established procedures for emergency repairs of private roads, as set forth in Resolution 2013-221 and revised in Resolution 2015-244, the attached Resolution requests the Board to do the following: 1. Waive notice of a public hearing to the residents of 42nd Avenue SE as this is a case of an immediate public emergency. 2. Direct the County Manager to take immediate action to make the minimum necessary repairs 11.C Packet Pg. 174 07/13/2021 required to facilitate the transport of emergency service vehicles along 42nd Avenue SE. 3. Following the necessar y repairs to the road, direct the County Manager to place an item on the Board’s agenda to establish an involuntary MSBU or MSTU, whichever deemed appropriate, for the purposed of repayment of funds used to make emergency repairs and to establish funds to be used for future emergency repairs. 4. Direct that initial funds generated by the MSTU shall be used to repay the County its full cost in repairing the road, and that thereafter, MSTU funds will be held in a separate account for future emergency repairs. FISCAL IMPACT: The Road Maintenance Division estimated that the work will be approximately $88,800 for material and equipment to make the road passable. A budget amendment, in the amount of $88,800 is required to transfer funding within Road Assessment Fund (341) from reserves to the 42nd Ave SE project to allow for the repair. Once establish and funded the MSTU will repay the full amount of the road repair expense to Road Assessment Fund (341). LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the attached Resolution directing the County Manager to take immediate action to make the minimum necessar y repairs required to facilitate the transport of emergency service vehicles on 42nd Avenue SE and approve all necessary budget amendments.
