ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board adopted Resolution <br />2003-044 in opposition to House Bill 1307. <br />Staff was directed to send copies of Resolution 2003-044 to the members of our <br />local legislative delegation as well as to the Florida Association of Counties. <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision questioned whether House Bill 1307 also <br />relates to the support of 911 service. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating said CityScape Consultants <br />advised him that there was no need for additional antenna support structure to <br />accomplish 911 implementation and they said they would put that in writing. Mr. Keating <br />advised the Board that Representative Mayfield did contact him regarding this bill. In <br />conclusion of their discussion, Indian River County had already implemented most of the <br />intent of the legislation. <br />Emergency Services Director John King gave a brief history of the 911 service <br />provided during Phase 0 (zero) and Phase I and advised that the entire state is moving <br />to Phase II. Phase II will require a GPS chip in cell phones which will enable the 911 <br />center to obtain an X -Y coordinate for the call. You must have enough towers to <br />triangulate the signal. He explained further that we are at a disadvantage in this planning <br />and need to rely on the wireless industry to be honest as to what is needed to implement <br />this system. He also stated he is relying on CityScape's expertise in this matter. <br />13.13.2 VICE CHAIRMAN GINN - NEW GUIDELINES FOR <br />COMMITTEES <br />APRIL 8, 2003 19 <br />
