� � r <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The Florida Division of Emergency Management has proposed to <br />present a Public Officials Conference in Indian River County <br />to inform elected government officials at the county and municipal <br />levels of their respective responsibilities when a disaster occurs <br />or threatens to impact their respective jurisdiction. The <br />presentation would also include information regarding the status of <br />legislation such as House Bill 911, which affects county emergency <br />management funding. <br />The target audience for the conference would be all elected local <br />officials as well as City/County Attorneys, County Administrator, <br />and City Managers. The format and length of the Public Officials <br />Conference is flexible, but the state prefers a time -allotment of <br />two hours. The state also asks that the conference not be a part <br />of a regular board meeting so the focus can be singularly related <br />to Emergency Management and how the new state concept of operations <br />will interface with the local emergency operations plan. <br />If the Board feels the Public Officials Conference would be of <br />benefit to elected and appointed officials, the Florida Division of <br />Emergency Management has advised they have open dates during the <br />majority of the weekdays during the months of January and February. <br />The agency noted they are amenable to other dates that would be <br />more suitable to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Staff asserts the Public Officials Conference would be of benefit <br />to local elected and appointed officials who would have <br />responsibility in responding to and recovering from a hurricane or <br />other types of disasters. If the Board approves the Public <br />Officials Conference, staff will finalize the arrangements and <br />notify all local officials regarding the conference on behalf of <br />the Board. <br />RECOMSENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board determine a date or provide three <br />alternative dates in terms of preference for the Florida Division <br />of Emergency Management to present the program at the Public <br />Officials Conference in our area. <br />The Board agreed on Friday, February 111 1994 at 9:00 a.m. as <br />the date for the Florida Division of Emergency Management to <br />present the Public Officials Conference. <br />84 <br />DEC ® 7 1993 BOOK 91 DCE 187 <br />
