BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Destin Fire Control District – lifeguard interlocal renewal
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval for Chairman to sign interlocal agreement
renewal with the Destin Fire Control District for Beach Safety & Lifeguard Services.
BACKGROUND: The Destin Fire Control District has been providing beach safety and
lifeguard services within the area between Destin East Pass and the Okaloosa/Walton County
line, excluding Henderson Beach State Park, since 2003. As the provision of a safe beach is an
essential component of promoting the sub-county taxing district, the County has historically
funded these services by use of tourist development tax revenues.
The current interlocal agreement expires 9/30/14, but contains a provision for up to two
additional one-year terms. The County provided the Contract/Lease Renewal Form to the Fire
District on July 8. The County received the signed renewal form on September 17, and therefore
was unable to present the renewal for Board consideration prior to the expiration of the current
interlocal agreement.
In accordance with the terms of the interlocal agreement, funding will be in an amount equal to
that which is budgeted and appropriated by the Board of County Commissioners to the Okaloosa
County Beach Safety Division for the provision of beach safety and lifeguards services within
the Service Area. The amount budgeted for fiscal year 2014-2015 is $519,157.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve renewal of the interlocal agreement with the Destin Fire
Control District for Beach Safety & Lifeguard Services, and authorize Chairman to sign the
renewal.
