As part of the new facility, a new E-911 emergency service dispatch center was being planned. The City of Vero Beach requested funds for the costs of the equip- ment totaling $55,589.00 (one time cost) and recurring fees in the amount of $2,332.80 monthly or $27,993.60 annually. The center would operate as a primary PSAP. The Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) would meet the require- ments as set forth in the General Subscriber Tariff Act, A24, that became effective November 29, 1985. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The request has been reviewed by the Florida Division of Com- munications and Indian River County Department of Emergency Manage- ment Services. Communications Forms detailing allowable expenses of the Vero Beach Police Department and Indian River County Sheriff's Depart- ment were submitted to the Florida Division of Communications on December 8, 1987 and verbal approval was received on December 9, 1987. The County is currently paying the recurring fees of $2,332.80 for the City of Vero Beach E-911 system each month. The only additional cost the County will incur if approved would be the -one time cost of $55,589.00 to Southern Bell. Scotty Howell, Account Representative for Southern Bell advises there are 12,206 fee elibile lines.in the City of Vero Beach. Based on the projected fee of $.50 per line, $.36 would be used for recurring costs of the PSAP's and $.14 would be available for non-recurring fees in which category the $55,589.00 the City is requesting would be included. Based on the above, revenue in the amount of $15,379.56 (12,206 eligible lines X $.14 fee X 9 mos. = $15,379.56) would be,generated in the City over a period of 9 months. Approximately $30,759 would be generated ,in the City if growth is not projected over the period of 18 months which q� 59 Boos 70, Ev;E439
