AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Authorization to pursue service and/or funding alternatives for
emergency services, including requests for proposals, for report back to the Board
ITEM BACKGROUND: Three options for providing continued emergency services in the remaining
areas of the Lower and Middle Keys Fire and Ambulance District (District I) were prepared and included
in the agenda packets for the special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners and Board of
Governors on February 28,2000. Additionally, there are other service and funding alternatives that should
be analyzed.
Accordingly, I am requesting authorization to pursue them.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOG ACTION: A memorandum dated February 7, 2000 was prepared and
submitted to Mr. Roberts concerning the financial and operational impacts in the Lower and Middle Keys
Fire and Ambulance District due to the incorporation of Marathon. That memorandum was included in the
packet considered by the Board at their special meeting concerning the Marathon incorporation on
February 28,2000. It informed that there are a number of other funding and service alternatives that could
be analyzed depending on the preference of the Board; they include: consolidating taxing Districts I, 6 and
7; merging Tavernier into District 6; reestablishing separate and distinct District 5 (Tavernier); buying
and/or selling particular services through interlocal agreements; relying on mutual aid from adjoining
jurisdictions; privatization of services; annexation of unincorporated areas; or any combination of these.
