Mrs. Goetzfried gave a brief history of the project. <br />She reported that in this particular system, when a person <br />dials 911, the computer automatically gives a general <br />location and three names that would be responding to that <br />person's specific area. Mrs. Goetzfried noted that in order <br />for this equipment to be effective, a lot of data had to be <br />given to Southern Bell, and the majority of that work was <br />done by the Pilot Club purely on a volunteer basis. Since <br />accumulating all the data, she added, they are now trying to <br />resolve the discrepancy file. The City of Vero Beach, <br />Sebastian and Indian River Shores are working with them on <br />the program and in June, a public awareness; program will be <br />starting, Mrs. Goetzfried reported. She added that it will <br />take one month to install the equipment and then they will <br />start three months of testing. She then reviewed the <br />financial statement dated March 16th, and commented that <br />this was a long project and it could never have been done <br />without the help of Daphne Strickland. <br />Miss Chaffee, interested citizen, expressed concern <br />about the people that do not have phones in their home. <br />Mrs. Goetzfried stated that they would have to use coin <br />phones. <br />A brief discussion ensued. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that whether you have a phone <br />in your home or not, every resident would have protection <br />since all emergencies do not always occur within a person's <br />home. <br />Commissioner Fletcher thanked Mrs.. Goetzfried and Ms. <br />Strickland for the work they have done and will continue to <br />do on the 911 Program. <br />The Board of County Commissioners thereupon recessed at <br />12:17 o'clock P.M. for lunch and reconvened at 1:45 o'clock <br />P.M. with the same members present, Deputy Clerk Hargreaves <br />taking over from Deputy Clerk Caldwell for the remainder of <br />the meeting. <br />76 <br />MAR 171992 <br />NoK 9 %E219 <br />
