A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, DIRECTING THE COUNTY
MANAGER TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO MAKE THE
MINIMUM NECESSARY REPAIRS REQUIRED TO FACILITATE
THE TRANSPORT OF EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES ON
BLUE SAGE DRIVE.
WHEREAS, based on concerns raised by Fire Chief Kingman D. Schuldt of the Greater
Naples Fire Recue District, it has become apparent that upon recent assessment of the road condition
of a privately-owned roadway located in the Golden Gate Estates area,that portions of Blue Sage Drive
have been deemed impassable for fire rescue apparatus during emergency conditions; and
WHEREAS, having Blue Sage Drive impassable to emergency vehicles endangers not only
the residents along Blue Sage Drive, but also neighboring residents of Collier County, especially
should there be a wildfire event; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the State Emergency Management Act in 1974, the
Florida Legislature has expressly declared that "safeguarding the life and property of its citizens
is an innate responsibility of the governing body of each political subdivision of the state." Pursuant
to this declaration, counties are specifically empowered to serve the emergency management
function for both their incorporated and unincorporated areas; and
WHEREAS, on September 24, 2013 the Board of County Commissioners (Board) passed
Resolution No. 2013-221 to establish procedures to make emergency repairs to private roads impassable
to emergency vehicles, and on December 8, 2015 the Board passed Resolution No. 2015-244 further
refining said procedures; and
WHEREAS, the Board expressly finds that the emergency repair of Blue Sage Drive
serves a paramount public purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA that:
1. Notice to the residents of Blue Sage Drive is hereby waived as this is a case of
an immediate public emergency.
2. The Board hereby directs the County Manager to take immediate action to bring Blue
Sage Drive back to minimum County standards, to facilitate the transport of emergency service
vehicles, and that following the necessary repairs to the road, the County Manager will place an
item on the Board's agenda to establish an involuntary MSBU or MSTU, whichever is deemed
appropriate, for the purpose of repayment of funds used to make emergency repairs to Blue Sage Drive
and to establish funds to be used for future emergency repairs.
3. Initial funds generated by the MSBU/TU shall be used to repay the County its full cost in
repairing the road.Thereafter.MSBU/TU funds will be held in a separate account for future emergency
repairs.
THIS RESOLUTION ADOPTED after motion, second, and majority vote favoring
