2 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, Apri113, 2012 Feldman requested that County Attorney's Office provide technical expertise support particularly for the Governance Sub-Committee. The group also agreed to set a third meeting for Friday, April27, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. at the EOC. Ms. Henry noted that all I Board meetings held are governed under the Sunshine Act and are open to the public. She urged all interested parties to participate in the discussions. After a request for further issues to be discussed during today's meeting, with none offered, the meeting was adjourned at 11:07 a.m.

3 201 NW 84th Ave., Plantation, FL Friday, April 20, 2012 Bertha Henry, Broward County Administrator, opened the meeting at 10:04 a.m. Ms. Henry informed the Committee of the County Commissioners (BCC) approval of 1-Board Committee members who provided confirmation prior to April 16, 2012, and additional members would be approved at the April 23, 2012 BCC Meeting. Chief Keith Dunn, Broward County Chiefs of Police Association, inquired if a representative other than the municipal administrator or m~nager could serve on the 1-Board Committee on behalf of their municipality. Dr. Bruce Moeller, Sunrise, answered that the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee (BCCCC) recommended the participation of the highest level of staff in order to expedite the committee process. Chief Dan Sullivan, Fire Chiefs Association of Broward County, asked whether that was included in the BCCCC's report. Dr. Moeller confirmed that it was, as well as included in the resolution passed by the BCC creating the 1-Board. Ms. Henry requested nominations for a chair for the 1-Board Committee. Dr. Moeller nominated Mr. Lee Feldman, Fort Lauderdale; the nomination was seconded by Ms. caryn Gardner-Young, Parkland and was unanimously approved by the Committee. Chair Feldman requested nominations for a vice chair for the 1-Board Committee. Mr. John Stunson, Oakland Park, nominated Mr. John Flint, Weston; there were numerous seconds. Chief Dunn nominated Mr. Richard A. Lemack, Davie; the nomination was seconded by Chief Sullivan. A consensus was reached by the 1-Board to have both Mr. Flint and Mr. Lemack serve as co-vice chairs. Chair Feldman requested a motion to approve the minutes of the April17, 2012 meeting. A motion to that effect was made by Chief Dunn; the motion was seconded by Dr. Moeller and was unanimously approved by the Committee. Ms. Henry provided a brief overview of the new 1-Board Committee website, which is designed to house and make easily accessible all backup materials from the 1-Board Committee and its subcommittees. The website is located at Until otherwise notified, materials to be placed on the website should be ed to bhenrv@broward.org. Dr. Moeller recommended making the BCCCC Report and Recommendations for Cooperative Consolidation of E-911 Communications In Broward County, FL available on the website, and offered to submit it. Chair Feldman, noting the criticality of attendance, understood that some of the 1-Board Committee members may not be able to make every meeting and asked that if a member is unable to attend that he/she should send a staff member to serve as a non-voting participant. Further, Chair Feldman assured the Committee that if the situation arose he would try to defer important votes in order to allow as many 1-Board Committee members as possible to participate.

4 Following a review of a survey conducted by Ms. Henry (see attachment), which was incomplete, Chair Feldman asked each 1-Board member to state and rank their subcommittee preferences. Chair Feldman stated his desire to balance out the committee membership so that there is similar numbers serving on each subcommittee. Mr. Charlie Dodge, Pembroke Pines, requested clarification as to whether a member of the I-Board who was not a member of a particular subcommittee would be able to vote at a meeting of the subcommittee. Chair Feldman responded that they would be able to participate but not vote. Chief Sullivan made a motion to limit each 1-Board Committee member to being a voting member on no more than two subcommittees; the motion was seconded by Mr. Mark Antonio, Hallandale Beach. Mr. Stunson questioned whether It was wise to limit participation. Chief Neal DeJesus, Broward Sheriff's Office, stated that if the 1-Board does not limit subcommittee participation then perhaps consideration should be given to discussing issues as a full committee rather than using a subcommittee structure. VIce-Chair Lemack stated his preference to work through each issue and, in order to best represent his town, he would like to be a part of au discussions. Mr. Erdal Donmez, Coral Springs, asked for clarification as to whether staff could be sent to participate In subcommittee discussions. Chair Feldman clarified that only 1-Board members could be members of a subcommittee, but that staff subject area experts can participate in subcommittee meetings. Vice Chair Flint suggested that if each BCCCC subcommittee chair made a presentation to the 1-Board Committee perhaps there would be no need for subcommittees. Mr. Antonio stated that if these presentations were made at the next 1-Board meeting, he would withdraw his second of Chief Sullivan's motion. Chair Feldman proposed, rather than forming subcommittees, the 1-Board would discuss each issue Funding, Governance, and Operations. In the event a deliverable is needed, a voluntary working group would be formed to address it before the I-Board moved on to the next issue. Chief Sullivan withdrew his motion. Chair Feldman requested that each BCCCC subcommittee chair make a presentation to the 1-Board Committee at the already scheduled April 27, 2012 meeting. Mr. Stunson requested that the technical support staff that assisted with the BCCCC be available to answer questions when those presentations were made. The Chairs of the BCCCC Funding and Operations Subcommittees were both present and agreed to make their presentations at the next 1-Board Committee meeting and the Chair of the BCCCC Governance Subcommittee would be extended a similar invitation and, if unavailable, Vice Chair Lemack would make the presentation, as he served as Vice Chair on the BCCCC Governance Subcommittee. Vice Chair Flint asked who would provide staff support to the 1-Board Committee. Ms. Henry stated that she requested the assistance of the County Attorney's Office, and that a representative would be at the next 1-Board Committee meeting to provide legal counsel. Chief Sullivan expressed his concern that since the County has a vested interest in the outcome of the 1-Board Committee the County Attorney

5 may not be the best support staff. Ms. Henry reiterated that the County Attorney's Office was asked to provide assistance to the 1-Board. Chair Feldman moved on to a discussion of the other necessary resources and funding that would be needed by the 1-Board. Ms. Henry stated that she is meeting with County staff to estimate a cost for an independent engineering analysis of the six PSAP sites mentioned In the BCCCC Report. She also stated that the County could utilize the services of one of the engineering firms with whom there may be existing contracts. Ms. Connie Hoffmann, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, asked whether there would be the need for a consultant to analyze Operational Staffing. Dr. Moeller responded that there may be a need for that at some point in the process, but that significant research had been done by Mr. Rick carpani, Broward Sheriff's Office Director of Enterprise Technology Division, and his staff that should be looked at first. Chief Sullivan requested a presentation from Mr. Carpani at the next meeting. Mr. Stunson asked whether there was a need for an assessment of technology to ensure that the most up-to-date equipment available was being utilized. Ms. Henry stated that she would have to check to see if the County currently had contracts with a firm able to do an assessment of that type and would report back. Chair Feldman asked Ms. Henry ifthe 1-Board would be able to make additional funding requests later in the process; Ms. Henry responded that she believed that would be the case, but that the resolution creating the 1-Board stated that the first budget request needed to be completed by May 1, After a request for further issues to be discussed, with none offered, the meeting was adjourned at 11:09 a.m.

6 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, April 27, 2012 Committee Chair, Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) opened the meeting at 10:07 am. Alii-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. Jonathan Allen (City of Lauderdale Lakes, Mr. John Lavisky (City of Lighthouse Point) and Ms. Yolanda Rodriquez (City of Margate). The Chair, Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) began with a welcome and introduction of Alphonso Jefferson, newly appointed Assistant to the County Administrator. The Chair asked if there were any changes to the minutes of April 13, Richard J. Lemack (Town of Davie) requested the middle initial of his name be changed from "A 11 to ' J." Chair Feldman requested a motion to approve the minutes of the April20, 2012 with the requested change. The motion was made and seconded and was approved by the Board. The Chair then recognized Mike Burton, Fire Chief (Tamarac) who made a presentation regarding the results of the work of the BCCC Operations SubwCommittee. There was lengthy discussion about the potential performance measures for a consolidated system with general consensus that agreement on the performance standards and measures that the system would be judged by is critical, and that the system needed to be managed with a focus on the metrics. A few of the City Managers who operate their own PSAP relayed that having control over the level of performance was the one of the key reasons that their cities chose to operate their own PSAP. It was noted that comparative performance Is currently difficult to assess because different PSAP managers measure PSAP performance using different metrics. In a recap of the presentation, Chair Feldman noted the issues to be resolved were: Does the 1-Board accept the proposed three PSAP Model Identify the three sites and which cities will participate in the consolidated model Recommend what CAD and RMS software will be utilized in the consolidated model After some additional discussion, there was general consensus to move forward with a model of no more than three PSAPs with a few members advocating that the possibility of two centers be analyzed. There was also discussion regarding the potential need for consultant resources to assist the 1-Board with consensus on the need for engineering consultants to provide an infrastructure analysis of the six PSAPs under consideration for use in the consolidated system. John Stunson also advocated that there be an analysis to ensure that the most advanced technology is used in the consolidated system. A second presentation was disseminated and reviewed by John Stunson (City of Oakland Park) containing excerpts from the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee Final Report presented to the Broward County Commission on March 27, This presentation is attached to the minutes. Page 1 of2

7 201 NW 84th Avenue. Plantation, FL Friday, Aprll27, 2012 Extensive discussion ensued regarding the funding of the consolidated system. Some members advocated that the county fund the full cost of the system. Others pointed to the consensus of the Consolidated Communications Committee Final Report and Resolution that was approved by the Broward County Commission on March regarding shared funding as the starting point for the work of the 1-Board. Assistant County Attorney Sharon Thorsen responded to legal questions regarding the MSTU and Broward County's OMS Director Kayla Olsen responded to a question regarding the County Commission's position on funding by indicating that during public discussions of this topic the Commission has indicated no interest in fully funding a consolidated system. There was also significant discussion about the MSTU concept and whether factors other than taxable value should be included in developing the funding methodology for the MSTU. Bruce Loucks (City of Cooper City) asked whether a City could participate in the consolidated system by paying a fee equivalent to what the taxpayers of a city would pay into the MSTU through the millage and Burgess Hanson asked if the MSTU would affect CRAs in any way. Ms. Thorsen indicated that she would review both of these issues. The issue of whether there would be any interim funding changes between now and fiscal year 13/14 was also raised. Chair Feldman indicated that the City of Fort Lauderdale has ceased their payments to BSO for dispatch services as ofthe month of February. A third and final presentation was given by the Governance Sub-Committee Chair. Richard Lemack (Town of Davie) which outlined the four options considered by that sub-committee. The Broward County Sheriffs Model and the County Model were recommended for further review and consideration by the 1-Board. Chair Feldman wrapped up the meeting by stating that he was not expecting consensus today on all of the issues raised. He asked that the County post the presentations on the 1-Board website and indicated that he planned to schedule meetings every two weeks at this point. It was agreed that the next meeting would be March 11th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. He suggested that the agenda for the next meeting would revolve around funding the consolidated system and he requested that Kayla Olsen make a five minute presentation on the MSTU process and concept at the beginning of the next meeting. Note: Copies of presentations of the BCCC Operations and Governance Sub-Committees, presented by Mike Burton and Richard Lemack. respectively. are attached and will also be posted to the website, along with the excerpts from the BCCC final report presented by John Stun son. The meeting was adjourned at 1:07 pm.

8 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, May 11, 2012 Committee Chair. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) opened the meeting at 10:12 a.m. All 1-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. W. Ajibola Balogun (City of West Park), Mr. Dennis Beach (City of Pompano Beach). Mr. Burgess Hanson (City of Deerfield Beach), Mr. Robert Payton (City of Miramar). Ms. Yolanda Rodriquez (City of Margate) and Mr. Gary Shimun (City of Plantation). The Chair, Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) began with a welcome to all present, and asked if there was a motion to approve the minutes of the April 27th meeting. The motion was moved and seconded. A discussion on financing for the Consolidated Communications System began with a presentation by Kayla Olsen, Director of the Broward County Office of Management and Budget. on the MSTU process. A handout was disseminated which provided a summary of F.S , legal, county and municipal implications of an MSTU. The handout also included an estimated tlmeline for the MSTU. Deputy County Attorney, Noel Pfeffer responded to legal questions and reinforced that additional research is necessary to evaluate the impact of an MSTU as it relates to CRA payments. Ms. Olsen pointed out that even if there is a legal basis for payments they should be waived in the MSTU interlocal agreement. Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) asked whether there would be any reduction in the county millage rate should the MSTU move forward. Ms. Olsen indicated no if the current amount of county funding for dispatch services is maintained, however. it was noted municipalities which fund their own dispatch services could potentially have a millage rate reduction. The Chair read from an sent directly to him from Chief Dan Sullivan which asked many questions relating to what funds are allocated, what would the MSTU look like without certain municipal participation, legal issues, etc.. Bertha Henry, County Administrator explained that any s should be made available to all board members and not to single individuals. She implored the members to forward all questions or concerns to Daphne Sewell to ensure the infonnation is properly distributed to all board members. Discussion ensued as to whether the MSTU was the best mechanism to fund the consolidated dispatch services. Mr. Feldman summed up the situation by saying it was a choice of cities writing checks for a fee based system versus a property tax based system. Mr. Stunson emphasized the need for the funding source to be stable. Ms. Henry distributed a second handout entitled "Possible Emergency Dispatch Cost Allocation Bases." Further, in response to members who believed the county should fully fund the consolidated system Ms. Henry reinforced the Board of County Commissioners' stance on not being 100 percent responsible for picking up the cost for the consolidated dispatch system.

9 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, May 11,2012 Chief Neal de Jesus (BSO) stated while he realizes there will be financial issues. the potential for savings and the ability to provide better services through a consolidated system is crucial. Mr. Charles Faranda (City of Lauderhill) also agreed there should be a regional dispatch service. as it was what voters wanted on the referendum and there is a need for centralization. He indicated that a stable funding amount from the county was essential. Mr. Bruce Loucks (City of Cooper City) implied his city may want to write a check to buy into the MSTU. He stated other cities have their own PSAPS and mentioned how wealthier communities would have to pay more. Ms. Connie Hoffman (Lauderdale-by-the Sea) also was concerned that wealthier communities would have to pay more through an MSTU.. Ms. Ambreen Bhatty (City of North Lauderdale) indicated that she was concerned about the effect of the MSTU millage being included in the city's millage cap due to their relatively high millage rate and small tax base. Mr. Stunson (City of Oakland Park) indicated his support of the MSTU concept and indicated that his city will likely join with the county's unincorporated area in an MSTU even if other cities didn't participate. Dr. Bruce Moeller (City of Sunrise) pointed out that it was the 1 Board's charge to rank funding alternatives and that it was important to make recommendations that have the ability to be accepted. Ms. Henry reiterated the importance of the I-Board's commitment to recommend MSTU funding or alternatives to MSTU funding. Mr. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) made a recommendation that at the next meeting the 1-Board vote on a ranking of funding alternatives and then an interim report be prepared and sent to the Board of County Commissioners which provides this ranking. Mr. Erdal Donmez (City of Coral Springs) emphasized the need for cities to continue to have the option to opt out of the consolidated system and suggested that a portion of whatever county funding is put in the system should go toward independently operated city PSAPs. Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) suggested that governance will be of equal importance to funding and that knowing the Sheriff's position on this issue is essential. Chief Neal de Jesus (BSO), speaking on behalf of the Sheriff, indicated that both the county governance model and the BSO governance model was acceptable to the Sheriff. The next meeting of the 1-Board is Friday, May 25, The meeting was adjourned at 11 :40 a.m.

10 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, May 25, 2012 Committee Chair, Mr. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) opened the meeting at 10:09 a.m. All 1-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. Jonathan Allen (City of Lauderdale Lakes), Mr. Robert Baldwin (City of Dania Beach), Mr. Erdal Donmez {City of Coral Springs), Mr. Burgess Hanson {City of Deerfield Beach), Mr. Douglas Hewitt (City of Hollywood), Dr. Robert Levy {Town of Pembroke Park), Mr. Bruce Loucks (City of Cooper City), Mr. Robert Payton (City of Miramar), Ms. Yolanda Rodriguez (City of Margate). and Mr. Gary Shimun (City of Plantation). Mr. Feldman began with a welcome to all present, and asked if there was a motion to approve the minutes of the May 11 1 h meeting. Chief Neal de Jesus (BSO) stated he would like the minutes to reflect the position that although both the county governance model and BSO governance model was acceptable to the Sheriff, the Sheriff felt that the Sheriff's Office was in the best position to govern the consolidated model being that the infrastructure was already in place and that over 60 Al of the emergency services in the County were already being governed and run by the Sheriffs Office. The amendment to the minutes was accepted and the motion was moved and seconded. Ms. Bertha Henry (Broward County) announced that Mr. Charles Faranda (City of Lauderhill) has resigned from the 1-Board. A representative from the City will still be allowed to attend and observe, but no vote can be cast. Mr. Feldman noted the County's position that it will not fund the entire system. As a result, Mr. Feldman recommends the 1-Board pursue an alternative funding mechanism such as an MSTU as spelled out in the County resolution which created the 1-Board.. Ms. Caryn Gardner-Young (City of Parkland) expressed concern that under an MSTU funding approach, using ad valorem as a metric would result in a disproportionate share for certain cities. Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) concurred that property values would not be a fair metric. Mr. Feldman handed out a diagram of an alternative funding structure which gives cities the option if they would like to participate in an MSTU in which a determined millage would be charged directly to city taxpayers or cities can opt to pay directly based on their share of call volume. A discussion ensued about how the system would work. Mr. Feldman further inte~ected that a City may only elect to switch between participating in an MSTU or fee for service funding mechanism every five years. Despite the ability to elect to switch between funding mechanisms, each city would need to approve an interlocal agreement (ILA) for a thirty year duration. Mr. Noel Pfeffer, Deputy Broward County Attorney, responded to legal questions including whether a city that opts out of a regional system is entitled to a portion of the amount to be funded by the County. Mr. Pfeffer pointed out that he did not believe cities have any legal entitlement to a portion of those dollars. Another question was posed as to whether the County could require cities to join an MSTU. Mr. Pfeffer responded that cities could only join by their

11 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, May 25, 2012 own ordinance. Mr. Pfeffer also addressed the fact that "sub-districts" with individual rates cannot be set up; rather, it would need to be a uniform rate. Chief Dan Sullivan (Fire Chiefs Association) asked if the Board of County Commissioners is required to fund the Broward Sheriffs Office's operations for communications. Chief de Jesus stated that the Board of County Commissioners provides the Broward Sheriff's Office with funding and has some input on what it should be used for. Chief de Jesus affirmed that as long as funding is made available for communications, BSO will continue to provide the service. Mr. Feldman requested County staff to design a spreadsheet scenario which illustrates how his proposed funding mechanism would work. Mr. Feldman suggested that as part of this exercise, certain cities be picked at random to exemplify the financial impact on those communities. For illustrative purposes, all cities should be shown as participants. It was asked that this information be circulated to all 1-Board members prior to the next meeting. Mr. Charlie Dodge (Pembroke Pines) asked that in addition to building this scenario, that consideration be given to what would happen if cities switched between the two funding mechanisms. Ms. Henry requested that Mr. Dodge assign a city staff person to assist county staff with development of this scenario. Several questions were raised in regards to whether the Sheriff would participate in a regional system if it is determined to be run by an independent governing agency, as well as whether BSO contract cities would pay for dispatch service as part of their respective BSO contract consideration or through separate means. Chief de Jesus was asked to see if the Sheriff would be inclined to come to the next 1-Board meeting on June 21, Ms. Henry asserted that if BSO is ultimately chosen to govern regional dispatch, a separate special revenue fund will be set up within BSO's budget to segregate and isolate dollars earmarked for this service. Mr. Feldman offered a suggestion that each City Manager bring back this funding model to their respective elected bodies to see if they would be amenable to this funding structure, or if they had an alternative method. In doing so, Mr. Feldman suggested to the 1-Board that the next meeting of the 1-Board not take place until June 21, 2012 in order to allow staff enough time to complete the assigned task and for City Managers to discuss this issue with their respective elected bodies. The next meeting of the 1-Board is Thursday, June 21,2012 at 10:00 a.m. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :32 a.m.

12 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Thursday, June 21, 2012 Committee Chair, Mr. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) opened the meeting at 10:09 a.m. All 1-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. Erdal Donmez (City of Coral Springs), Ms. Cathy Swanson-Rivenbark (City of Hollywood), Dr. Robert Levy (Town of Pembroke Park), Mr. Robert Payton (City of Miramar), Ms. Yolanda Rodriguez (City of Margate), Mr. David Rivera (City of Coconut Creek), Mr. Dennis Beach (City of Pompano Beach) and Chief Keith Dunn (Police Chiefs Association. Mr. Feldman began with a welcome to all present, and asked if there was a motion to approve the minutes of the May 25, 2012 meeting. It was moved and seconded. Mr. Feldman acknowledged Sheriff Lamberti who was present in response to a request by Chief Dan Sullivan at the last meeting. Sheriff Lamberti expressed to the 1-Board that the county and cities have been discussing consolidated emergency dispatch for over 20 years and as a result of recent progress, we are further along today than we have ever been. He emphasized that cities should not be stigmatized for their choices made years ago and pointed out that BSO provides service to about 60% of the population/calls In the county and is about to add Miramar fire rescue dispatch which the city will be paying BSO to provide. The Sheriff concluded that although he feels BSO is in the best position to operate a consolidated emergency dispatch system, he would be open to participating in a system that is not run by BSO as long as virtually every city is involved. Mr. Joseph Gallegos (City of Wilton Manors) asked the Sheriff if he would be agreeable to having a governing board oversee the system if BSO was chosen to operate it. The Sheriff was in agreement with having a governing board, which would be responsible for hiring and firing an executive director. Mr. Feldman reintroduced the topic of funding a consolidated emergency dispatch system and opened up discussion to the 1-Board. At the May 25th 1-Board Meeting, Mr. Feldman asked members of the 1-Board to speak with their respective elected officials about their thoughts on an MSTU funding mechanism and the alternative funding scenario presented by Mr. Feldman. In response to the request of the Chair at the May 25th 1-Board Meeting to further analyze Mr. Feldman's alternative funding scenario, Ms. Kayla Olsen and Mr. Adam Reichbach (Broward County Office of Management and Budget) presented to the 1-Board a report which illustrated the potential impact of this alternative model given certain assumptions regarding which option cities might choose if given a choice between a cost per call scenario or a MSTU for those who didn't choose the cost per call approach. Mr. Reichbach went on to explain that factors such as taxable value per capita and calls for service per capita were used to provide an indication for what each municipality might choose, however, it was a hypothetical example since it assumed that half of the cities would choose one option and half would choose the other. A discussion ensued about the direction various elected bodies provided to their respective Managers/Administrators. Mr. Feldman went on to ask each Manager/Administrator to informally

13 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Thursday, June 21, 2012 vote on which funding approach they would prefer between an MSTU model and the alternative funding scenario as presented. Of the 22 Managers/Administrators present. 14 favored an MSTU model and 8 favored the alternative funding scenario. Despite the outcome of this vote, severaii-board Members indicated that if the 1-Board ultimately chose to pursue a 100% MSTU funded system, they would not be interested in participating in a consolidated system. Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) asked Ms. Henry (Broward County) if the $19.7 million the County currently contributes toward emergency dispatch operations would remain only if all municipalities participate. Ms. Henry affirmed that the vast majority would need to participate for the county to provide this level of funding but ultimately it is up to the County Commission. After further discussion about the two models that had been presented, Ms. Bertha Henry distributed to the 1-Board a table with four additional funding options that staff had been asked to develop. To further vet these and possibly other funding models. Mr. Feldman asked members of the 1-Board to volunteer their respective finance/budget staff to develop and analyze various funding models. It was determined that Mr. Burgess Hanson (City of Deerfield Beach) will lead a group of municipal staff members to undertake this work. This sub-committee will consist of a representative from Deerfield Beach, Oakland Park, Parkland, Pembroke Pines and Weston and Broward County staff was asked to provide technical support. The group was asked to provide their work product and recommendations prior to the next meeting. The next meeting of the 1-Board is Friday, July 13, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m.

14 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, July 13, 2012 Vice Committee Chair, Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) opened the meeting at 10:09 a.m. All 1-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. Jonathan Allen {City of Lauderdale Lakes), Mr. W. Ajibola Balogun (City of West Park), Ms. Ambreen Bhatty (City of North Lauderdale), Mr. Michael Cemech (City of Tamarac), Mr. John Lavisky {City of Lighthouse Point), Mr. Richard Lemack {Town of Davie), Dr. Robert Levy (Town of Pembroke Park), Mr. Robert Payton (City of Miramar}, Mr. David Rivera (City of Coconut Creek), Mr. Gary Shimun (City of Plantation), Chief Dan Sullivan (Fire Chiefs Association), and Ms. Cathy Swanson Rivenbark (City of Hollywood). Committee Chair, Mr. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale) joined the meeting at 10:15 a.m. Mr. Flint began with a welcome to all present, and asked if there was a motion to approve the minutes ofthejune 21,2012 meeting. It was moved and seconded. At the June 21st 1-Board Meeting, Mr. Burgess Hanson (City of Deerfield Beach) was asked to lead a group of staff members from various municipalities to develop alternative funding models. This sub-committee consisted of a representative from Deerfield Beach, Oakland Park, Parkland, Pembroke Pines, and Weston. Staff from the Broward County Office of Management and Budget provided technical support. Mr. Hanson introduced the work of the sub-committee and presented a chart with three alternative funding models (scenarios) related to the estimated total dollar amount of the proposed consolidated system to be funded by the cities. The recommendation of the subcommittee was Scenario 1. It was noted that these numbers are based on a total system cost after full implementation that includes significant efficiencies and cost savings. Mr. Feldman affirmed that all three alternative scenarios developed by the sub-committee include partial funding via an MSTU and partial funding from a check coming directly from each municipality. A discussion ensued about whether or not the cities of Coral Springs and Planation should be excluded from the calculations. Mr. Erdal Donmez {City of Coral Springs) stated that it is the position of the City that they will not be participating in the consolidated system. In response to a question from Mr. Feldman, Ms. Kayla Olsen (Broward County Office of Management and Budget) stated that she believes even If Coral Springs and Plantation were removed from the total system calculation, the net decrease in total system cost should likely yield a total cost per municipality relatively close to the amounts currently calculated. Mr. Dennis Beach (City of Pompano Beach) encouraged the 1-Board to include every municipality in the calculations until final decisions regarding participation are made by each municipality. In order to address any concerns about the impact to the cost per municipality if cities such as Coral Springs or Plantation opt out of the consolidated system, Broward County Office of Management and Budget staff and Mr. Rick Carpanl of BSO were asked to calculate the cost per municipality without Coral Springs and Plantation as a supplemental chart. A suggestion was also made to revise the chart provided by Mr. Burgess to include the $19.7 million the

15 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, July 13, 2012 County currently allocates to dispatch costs distributed out to each municipality to illustrate the amount each municipality's residents currently contributes through the County's general revenues. Mr. Feldman asked the 1-Board to take a look at each of the scenarios presented to determine which funding model seemed to be the most fair, regardless of who was ultimately participating in the consolidated system or what the final numbers for each city would be. There was a consensus of the 1-Board to recommend Scenario 3 in which calls for service, population, and an MSTU each drives 1/3 of the total cost per municipality. Given the consensus on a funding model, Mr. John Flint suggested to the 1-Board that the discussion should now tum to operations and governance. It was determined that operations would be discussed next. Ms. Bertha Henry suggested that the group finalize a decision at the next meeting on how many facilities should be analyzed by an engineering firm as potential consolidated dispatch sites. She indicated that she will bring an item to the County Commission requesting funding for the analysis once the I-Board has reviewed the scope of the engagement and agrees on whether each of the six facilities recommended by the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee as possible locations for PSAPs under a consolidated system should be evaluated. Mr. Feldman also asked that the Chair of the former Operations Subcommittee be prepared to give a presentation at the next meeting.

Mr. Flint began with a welcome to all present, and asked if there was a motion to approve the minutes of the July 13, 2012 meeting. It was moved and seconded. Chief Mike Burton (City of Tamarac), who served as the Operations Sub-Committee Chair of the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee (BCCCC), made a presentation to the 1-Board based on the findings and recommendations as originally reported to the BCCCC. Chief Burton discussed the system as it currently exists today and the recommendation by the Operations Sub-Committee to pursue a 3-PSAP consolidated system. Chief Burton also reported that each existing PSAP in the County reported on a number of attributes such as square footage, year built, hurricane category strength, etc. Based on the responses regarding these attributes, the Sub-Committee recommended to the BCCCC to pursue six sites for consideration in a 3-PSAP system, including, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Sunrise, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and the Public Safety Building. A discussion ensued about the County's plan to hire an engineering consultant to evaluate the hurricane category strength of each site. Based on the likelihood that Coral Springs would not be participating in the consolidated system, Chief Dan Sullivan (Fire Chiefs Association} made a motion to move forward with an engineering consultant to evaluate the structural integrity of each of the discussed facilities, excluding Coral Springs. That motion was seconded and approved by the 1-Board. The engineer would also assess each facility's emergency generator backup system. Mr. W. Ajibola Balogun (City of West Park) added that he would like the engineer to evaluate each facility based on the Infrastructure requirements as indicated in accreditation standards. Mr. Balogun also included that the engineer should assess current and future capacity of the facility and the electrical/mechanical infrastructure. Ms. Renee Crichton (City of Hallandale Beach) added that each facility should be able to handle normal county growth over a year period. Mr. Alphonso Jefferson (Broward County) informed the 1-Board that the scope of work for the engineering consultant would be revised to include the requests of the 1-Board and an agenda item for the contract will be included at the August 21 8 l Board of County Commissioners meeting.

17 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Thursday, July 19, 2012 Ms. Caryn Gardner-Young (City of Parkland) asked staff if consideration was given to the different communications systems currently present in each facility. Mr. Rick Carpani (BSO Communications Technology Division) affirmed that he and his staff have been working with each of the PSAPs to standardize CAD and radio systems county-wide. Mr. Flint suggested that while the engineering consultant is evaluating each site, the County prepare an RFP for a consultant to evaluate staffing models and how to merge staffing under a consolidated system. Mr. Flint also suggested that once the sites are chosen, the next step would be to detennine hosting fees including utilities and debt service. Mr. Jefferson recommended that the topic of staffing be included in discussions of governance. Mr. Flint concluded that the next 1-Board meeting will be to discuss governance.

Mr. Flint recognized Sheriff AI Lamberti (Broward Sheriff's Office) as present and offered him an opportunity to address the 1-Board. Sheriff Lamberti reiterated that under the BSO model (as originally presented to the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee). the Governing Board of the consolidated dispatch system would have the power to hire and fire the Executive Director, as opposed to the Sheriff. However, as a BSO employee, command and control of daily operations would be under BSO's authority. The Sheriff also confirmed that the Communications Technology Division (CTD} will be returned to the County as of October 1, Ms. Bertha Henry (Broward County) noted that the service provided by CTD is a function of the County as dictated In the County Charter. She also assured the 1-Board members that there would be no gaps in service as a result of this transition. Mr. Jerry Blough (City of Margate) stated that the 1-Board, by formal vote, selected the County model as presented in the final report of the Broward County Consolidated Communications Committee.

Ms. Henry went on to inform the group that there have been no discussions or decisions made regarding whether or not the County would contract out the service. After a brief discussion on selecting a new Chair, a suggestion was made to take up Item #8 on the Agenda before a formal Chair selection was made. Mr. Flint presented and passed around copies to the 1-Board of a resolution he planned to present to his City Commission for a formal vote which supports a system operated and funded by the County. A discussion ensued about the resolution. Mayor Mike Ryan (City of Sunrise) was recognized by Mr. Flint and provided his support for the resolution, stating that it is a measure of stability. Mr. Charles Dodge (City of Pembroke Pines) encouraged 1-Board members to formally move to support the resolution and encouraged 1-Board members to take back the resolution to their respective City Commission.

24 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, September 21,2012 After a lengthy discussion, the 1-Board took a formal vote on support of the resolution. It was moved, seconded, and approved with only Mr. Erdal Donmez (City of Coral Springs) and Ms. Henry dissenting. Mr. Flint suggested the signed resolutions from the cities be presented to the Board of County Commissioners on November 27, Mr. John Stunson (City of Oakland Park) took up the issue of appointing an 1-Board member to serve as Chair. He nominated Mr. Flint to assume the role of Chair. The motion was seconded and approved. Mr. Richard Lemack {Town of Davie) would remain as Vice Chair. Mr. Alphonso Jefferson (Broward County) addressed the 1-Board on the status of the facility evaluations which was Item # 4 on the agenda. He noted that the evaluations are underway and the final report is anticipated to be complete at the end of October. Mr. Flint announced that the remaining items on the agenda would be deferred to a future meeting. In response to a question from Mr. Feldman, Ms. Henry provided further explanation on the return of the Communications Technology Division to the County, citing the County's Charter responsibility to provide communications infrastructure to facilitate closes unit response and the amount of work done thus far to fulfill that. Ms. Henry also discussed the current radio capacity issues and the plan to move non-public safety agencies off the current system and onto a parallel local government only system in order to address the capacity tssues. In regards to the current Florida Statute 164 Proceedings with the City of Fort Lauderdale, Ms. Henry indicated that there is a proposal on the table to provide 11 bridge funding" in FY13 for dispatch services should those PSAP municipalities agree to participate in the consolidated dispatch system. Given the vote to support a funding model where the County would exclusively pay for the consolidated dispatch system, Ms. Henry indicated that the Board may change their position on the "bridge funding" proposal. Mr. Flint suggested that the October 5th 1-Board meeting be cancelled and that the next meeting of the 1-Board would be Friday, October 19 1 h at 10:00 a.m. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :30 a.m.

25 201 NW 84th Avenue, Plantation, FL Friday, October 19, 2012 Committee Chair, Mr. John Flint (City of Weston) opened the meeting at 10:12 a.m. All 1-Board members were present with the exception of Mr. W. Ajibola Balogun (City of West Park), Mr. Dennis Beach (City of Pompano Beach), Mr. Andy Berns (Town of Southwest Ranches), Ms. Ambreen Bhatty (City of North Lauderdale), Mr. Jerry Blough (City of Margate), Chief Mike Burton (Fire Chiefs Association), Mr. Erdal Donmez {City of Coral Springs), Mr. Charles Faranda (City of Lauderhill), Mr. Lee Feldman (City of Fort Lauderdale), Mr. Burgess Hanson {City of Deerfield Beach), Ms. Connie Hoffmann (Town of Lauderdale-by-the-sea), Mr. John Lavisky (City of Lighthouse Point}, Mr. Richard Lemack (Town of Davie}, Dr. Robert Levy (Town of Pembroke Park), Mr. Robert Payton (City of Miramar), Mr. David Rivera (City of Coconut Creek), Mr. Gary Shimun {City of Plantation), and Mr. John Stunson (City of Oakland Park). Mr. Flint began with a welcome to all present, and acknowledged that there was not a quorum of 1-Board Members. As such, the 1-Board was unable to approve the minutes of the September meeting. Mr. Flint requested an update from Mr. Alphonso Jefferson (Broward County) on the status of the PSAP facilities evaluations. Mr. Jefferson informed the 1-Board that the consultant is still reviewing the facilities and a final report is anticipated on October 31, Mr. Flint stated that he would begin working with Mr. Jefferson on the 1-Board's Interim Report for the County Commission. Mr. Flint distributed a document to the membership depicting which municipalities passed and/or had plans for future consideration of a resolution in support of the County funding the consolidated dispatch system through countywide ad valorem taxes. Mr. Flint further advised that he was informed that Coral Springs and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea were not supporting the resolution. Ms. Bertha Henry (Broward County) acknowledged the status of the Florida Statute 164 proceedings with the City of Fort Lauderdale. She Indicated that both Commissions met and consensus was reached on the bridge funding proposal for FY13 and that the $19.7 million the County already pledged to dispatch would remain in the consolidated dispatch system. However, negotiations fell apart over discussions of the FY12 funding of dispatch services. Ms. Henry also announced that the County had entered into Florida Statute 164 Proceedings with the City of Pembroke Pines. Staff from both agencies met, the County offered Pembroke Pines a similar proposal as it did to Fort Lauderdale, and a tentative agreement was reached. She also indicated that other similarly situated cities managing their own PSAPs will be offered a similar proposal without the need for a Chapter 164 Proceeding. A subsequent discussion ensued about the importance and necessity of governing boards and advisory boards if the County was to fund and administer the consolidated dispatch system. Mr. Noel Pfeffer (Broward County Attorney's Office) was asked to research whether or not subboards would be subject to the Sunshine Law. Ms. Henry was asked to examine the charges of
