Resolution 2019-195 RESOLUTION NO. 2019 - 1 9 5
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE CITY OF NAPLES
STATE APPROPRIATION REQUEST FOR THE DESIGN OF PHASE II -
NAPLES BAY RED TIDE SEPTIC TANK MITIGATION PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the City of Naples (City) and Collier County (County) have partnered to
convert septic tanks to a centralized sanitary sewer system to improve water quality by reducing
nutrient loading in the sensitive, impaired waters of the Gordon River Extension that flows into
Naples Bay and enters the Gulf of Mexico; and
WHEREAS, although Karenia brevis (red tide) blooms naturally offshore, once close to
the coastline, many scientists believe that the red tide blooms may use both human-contributed
and natural nutrients as fuel; and
WHEREAS, the project would remove nutrients and other pollutants generated from 930
aging septic tanks in a low to moderate income neighborhood which historically floods; and
WHEREAS, to minimize disruption to the area, as the construction of the sanitary sewer
collection system is occurring, the County will make stormwater management improvements on
multiple streets between Goodlette Frank Road and U.S. 41; and
WHEREAS,the joint project is in unincorporated Collier County but within the water and
sewer service area of the City of Naples; and
WHEREAS, the City has established a Special Assessment District to assess the property
owners for the septic tank abandonment and service to central sewer; and
WHEREAS, the City is requesting a legislative appropriation to subsidize the cost of the
design of a central sanitary sewer system.
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, to support an application by the City of Naples for up to
$1,100,000 in State appropriations for the Design of Phase II—Naples Bay Red Tide Septic Tank
