Agenda 02/28/2017 Item #17D02/28/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt an Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 1984-84 in its entirety, which
created the Collier County Fire Control Municipal Service Taxing Unit and remit any remaining
MSTU funds to GNFD upon completing of audited financial statements.
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 the
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 cer tification of the election results made the transfer
of the fire service area into the District final as a matter of law. The repeal of Ordinance No. 1984-84, will
formally remove this law from the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Collier County, Florida.
At its February 14, 2017 regular meeting, the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to
advertise the proposed Ordinance. Upon approval of this item, any remaining financial reserves, fund
balance, or carry forward amounts in the MSTU, upon the County’s completion of audited financial
statements, will be remitted from the MSTU funds to the GNFD.
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 cost to advertise the proposed Ordinance was $154.96.
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: To approve the following:
1. Adopt the attached Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 1984-84 in its entirety.
2. Authorize staff to remit any remaining MSTU funds to GNFD upon completion of audited
financial statements.
