"AN ACT, creating Pelican Bay Improvement District, in Collier County Florida, providing for water management and control systems, and water and sewage facilities; providing for the management of the affairs of the District by a board of supervisors; providing for the powers and duties of the board of supervisors to carry out the purposes of the District; providing for the assessment and collection of benefit taxes, maintenance taxes and ad valorem taxes, authorizing the issuance of obligations of the district to finance construction and operation of the works and projects of the District; providing for adopting and completing water management and control plans; authorizing the establishment of charges for the facilities and services of the District; providing for the provision of the act or the rules adopted hereunder; and providing for an effective date."

The Pelican Bay Improvement District was created by a Special Act of the Florida Legislature in 1974. Chapter 74-462, Laws of Florida, provided the landowners in Pelican Bay with a vehicle to develop properly their land. A Board of Supervisors were charged with management of the affairs of the District and were granted the authority to finance, build, operate, maintain, and adopt management and control plans for two types of community services: sewer and water systems, and water management and control drainage systems.
