OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization from the Board of County Commissioners (Board), as the ex-officio Governing Board of the Collier County Water -Sewer District (CCWSD), to review, reaffirm and update the agreement with the Greater Naples Fire Control and Rescue District and the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District regarding access to Collier County Water Sewer District raw water supplies as supplemental water sources for firefighting capabilities in the rural areas of Collier County and bring back the update to the Board for consideration. CONSIDERATIONS: On November 12, 2013, agenda item 16.C. 1, the Board approved the "Agreement for Fire Department Accessible Raw Water Connections Between Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District and Golden Gate Fire Control District and Collier County Water Sewer District." This agreement memorialized the historic practice whereby the CCWSD provided access to raw water in the well fields via the raw water booster station hydrants and wellheads fitted with special connections. On May 12, 2014, the Governor approved the Greater Naples Fire Rescue Enabling Act Chapter 2014-240. Upon voter ratification on November 4, 2014, the Golden Gate Fire Control and Rescue District and the East Naples Fire Control and Rescue District merged into the Greater Naples Fire Control and Rescue District. On November 4, 2014, voters from the North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District and the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Control and Rescue District voted that the two districts should merge. The North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District was formed from this merger on January 1, 2015. On September 11, 2018, agenda item 17.17, the Board formally adopted a Resolution to expand the CCWSD service area. Expansion of CCWSD infrastructure in rural areas of Collier County may provide new options or opportunities for collaboration and the Fire Control and Rescue Districts have indicated their interest in reviewing and updating the agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These agreements meet Growth Management Plan standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues at this time and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RIECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to authorize the County Manager or designee to meet with representatives of the Greater Naples Fire Control and Rescue District and the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District to review, reaffirm, and update the 2013 Agreement regarding access to raw water for supplemental use for fighting fires and bring the update back to the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, as the ex- officio the governing board of Collier County Water -Sewer District, for consideration.

Raw Water Booster Station hydrant located at 8417 Ih Street SW b. 6 existing wellhead connections at Tarniami Wells 11, 14, 19, 23, 24, and 30 c. and any mutually agreeable additional wellheads (2 currently identified) once they are retrofitted with connections. • The mutually agreeable and identified location in the area of 10' Ave. NE and Wilson Blvd will be retrofitted within 12 months. • The mutually agreeable and identified location in the area of Wilson Blvd. and Immokalee Road will be retrofitted within 24 months. 2.
