Honorable Commissioner Henning,
As you are aware, the Board of County Commissioners recently directed County Staff to enter
into discussion with the East Naples(Golden Gate)Fire Control and Rescue District(EN-GG)
for the purpose of developing a long-term plan that may lead to the assumption of fire rescue and
life safety services in the Ochopee Fire District. In addition EN-GG is actively preparing for an
August referendum vote to annex the Isles of Capri Fire District into the jurisdictional
boundaries of East Naples.
In anticipation of a successful August referendum and the recent agreement for the EN-GG Fire
Marshal to serve in similar capacity for Collier County including Isles of Capri, Port of the
Islands, Ochopee and County District One, it is in the best interest of all parties to begin
formulating a plan for the immediate assumption of fire inspections quickly as inspections were
included as part of the adopted EN-GG Interlocal Agreements(ILA) entered into with the
County this year.
Allow me to clarify an important point regarding the EN-GG jurisdictional authority to conduct
fire inspections. Although Everglades City is within the area served by the Ochopee Fire
District,the City remains as the Authority Having Jurisdiction(AHJ)regardless of the entity
providing fire protection services(Ochopee). It is not the intention or desire of EN-GO to
assume fire inspection responsibilities within the jurisdictional boundaries of Everglades City.
The Fire District remains committed to providing services to any willing parties or geographical
areas. Under no circumstances is it the Fire District's intention to assume any such
responsibilities as they are not included in the ILA unless requested, and in the best interest of all
parties involved.
The EN-GG Fire District remains committed to cooperating with Collier County to provide fire
marshal oversight services. The Fire District also stands ready to formalize fire inspection and
life safety programs in Isles of Capri, Port of the Islands, County District One and any other
jurisdictional area that your Board may desire.
In closing; it is the Fire District's intention and willingness to begin formal discussion regarding
the long-term delivery of fire rescue and life safety services to the Ochopee Fire District with
