Agenda 02/14/2017 Item #16E 102/14/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct the County Attorney to advertise the repeal of Ordinance No. 1984-84,
which created the Collier County Fire Control Municipal Service Taxing Unit.
OBJECTIVE: To formalize the annexation of the Collier County Fire Control Municipal Service
Taxing Unit (the “MSTU”) into the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District by repealing the Ordinance that
created the MSTU.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County adopted Ordinance No. 1984-84 creating the Collier County Fire
Control Municipal Service Taxing Unit for the purpose of providing fire protection to all the residents
situated within the unincorporated areas of Collier County lying outside the boundaries of an existing fire
control taxing district. On March 25, 2016, the Governor signed into law Chapter 2016-262, Laws of
Florida, providing for the annexation of the MSTU’s service area into the Greater Naples Fire Rescue
District (the “District”) upon approval of a referendum by the majority of the resident electors within th e
MSTU.
On August 30, 2016, the resident electors of the MSTU approved a referendum supporting the annexation
of the fire service area into the District. The official certification of the election results made the transfer
of the fire service area into the District final as a matter of law. Staff is seeking permission to advertise
the repeal of Ordinance No. 1984-84, so the Board can consider formally removing this law from the
Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County, Florida.
Should the request to advertise be authorized, staff will also come back to the Board at that time with a
request to remit any remaining financial reserves, fund balance or carry forward amounts in the MSTU
upon the County’s completion of audited financial statements.
An Interlocal Agreement between the County and the District, which provides funding for the Ochopee
Fire District until such time as they are annexed into District remains in force.
FISCAL IMPACT: The approximate cost to advertise the proposed Ordinance is $200.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority
vote for Board approval.-SRT
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves and authorizes the County
Attorney to advertise an Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 1984-84;
