Agenda 04/22/2014 Item #16H3 4/22/2014 16.H.3.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an Interlocal Agreement and a Lease Agreement with the
North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District (NNFD) addressing coordination between
the County and the NNFD regarding Fire Plans Review and providing the District with
work space for its Fire Plans Review staff in the Growth Management Division's offices.
OBJECTIVE: To approve an Interlocal Agreement ("ILA") and Lease Agreement with North
Naples Fire Control and Rescue District permitting the District's new Fire Plans Review
Division to operate and work cooperatively with the county in the Growth Management
Division's offices with the goal of improving the time to complete fire plans reviews, thereby
allowing for the speedier issuance of permits and reducing redundant plans review, to the benefit
of the public customers.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 11, 2013, Item 10E, the Board authorized Commissioner Tom
Henning to represent the Board and work with staff in evaluating and potentially negotiating
consolidated EMS services and County managed plan review and inspection services.
Subsequently, staff attended fire district commissioner meetings and communicated with fire
officials to discuss opportunities to consolidate the plan review and inspection service. In
September, Commissioner Henning and staff attended an East Naples Fire Control and Rescue
t District(ENFD)meeting to offer a county-sponsored plans review service.
Concurrently, Commissioner Henning and staff met with NNFD to assist the District with its
desire to consolidate fire plans reviews back under the North Naples Fire Chief and to leave the
Fire Code Officials Office with further goals to reduce fees and speed up fire plans reviews to
avoid development and project delays thereby bringing jobs faster to Collier County. On
November 14, 2013,the NNFD Commissioners voted unanimously to direct Chief Orly Stolts to
work with representatives from the Growth Management Division (GMD) to evaluate hiring its
own fire plans reviewers, dissolving its agreement with the Fire Code Officials and to embed its
fire plans review staff at GMD offices for maximum efficiency.
NNFD embedding its fire plans reviewers and working with GMD will:
• Restore the one-stop-shop concept;
• Improve communication between fire plans, electrical, plumbing and building plans
reviewers which has not previously occurred;
• Allow for review of the fire plans review fees to potentially reduce them making them
more economical; and
• Eliminate redundant reviews and the delegation of non-essential reviews to improve
customer satisfaction and reduce costs,which are passed on to customers

4/22/2014 16.H.3.
On January 9, 2014, the NNFD commission approved an MOU with the County to embed fire
plans reviewers and to work on an ILA with the County following notice to the Fire Code
Officials office of its plans to take back over its own reviews.
Both entities recognize that efficient and cost contained services along with the elimination of
non-essential or duplicative reviews are an essential part of providing an environment conducive
to economic development.
The NNFD Board unanimously approved the ILA and Lease with the County at its April 10,
2014 meeting and requested the County Attorney to review the ILA for any potential issues as it
relates to the Fire Code Officials Office. The ILA includes an attached $50,000 Lease
Agreement that will provide the NNFD with work space, including furniture, phones, office
supplies, wifi capable laptops and software licenses and access to CityView (the planning
platform used by GMD), for up to nine NNFD staff members. All fire plans reviewers at NNFD
tracking work on the same software as Collier County will allow for concurrent and faster
reviews and uniform communication.
FISCAL IMPACT: $50,000 of revenue to GMD to cover the cost of Community Development
Fund 113, as required by law, for office space, supplies, computers, maintenance of computers,
phone lines and software licensing for CityView. Revenues and expenditures shall be reconciled
after 12 months of operations to match actual cost.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires
majority vote for Board approval.—SRT
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners approve
an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) and attached Lease Agreement with the North Naples Fire
Control and Rescue District to occupy work space at the Growth Management Division offices
and providing for the District's fire plans review staff to work cooperatively with GMD and to
establish fire plans review benchmarks for customer service improvements.

trespass, or being liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. If Lessee
does not cure the defaults in the time frames as set forth above, and Lessor has removed and
stored property, Lessor shall not be required to store for more than thirty (30) days. After such
time, such property shall be deemed abandoned and Lessor shall dispose of such property in any
manner it so chooses and shall not be liable to Lessee for such disposal.
ii. If Lessee fails to promptly pay,when due, any full installment of rent or any other
sum payable to Lessor under this Lease, and if said sum remains unpaid for more than five (5)
days past the due date, the Lessee shall pay Lessor a late payment charge equal to five percent

limited to injunctive relief as may appear necessary or desirable to enforce the performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of Lessor under this Lease.
e. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either party is
intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such
remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or
hereafter existing under law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any event of default will impair any such right or power nor be construed to be
waived, but any such right and power maybe exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient.
f. Non-Waiver. Every provision hereof imposing an obligation upon Lessee is a material
inducement and consideration for the execution of this Lease by Lessee and Lessor. No waiver
by Lessee or Lessor of any breach of any provision of this Lease will be deemed for any purpose
to be a waiver of any breach of any other provision hereof or of any continuing or subsequent
