Information from BellSouth indicates that Indian River County has a total of 81,243 lines which <br />would be subject to the 911 fee with some exclusions. If the Board approves the recommended <br />charge of $.50, staff estimates it would generate approximately $487,458 in revenue, less the I% <br />BellSouth collection fee. The matter is now before the Board of County Commissioners for approval <br />of the Resolution to re -authorize the E911 fee for FY 00/01 at $.50 per line (up to a maximum of 25 <br />access lines per account bill rendered) per month. <br />The funds from the 911 fee will be utilized for staff maintenance of the data base, three call taker <br />positions, operating expenditures, CAD system, capital outlay, and a contingency fund to ensure the <br />integrity of the system to timely direct emergency personnel so that the protection of lives and <br />property can be assured. <br />If approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the Resolution will be forwarded to BellSouth <br />so the fee will remain at the same rate as the past year with an effective date of October 1. 2000. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of the resolution re -authorizing and imposing the E911 surcharge with <br />a $.50 fee for FY 00/01 - <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board, by <br />a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Stanbridge absent) <br />unanimously adopted Resolution 2000-116 <br />providing for the establishment of a countywide <br />"E911" telephone fee to pay for system charges. <br />SEPTEI�IB��2_19�2QO,Q8 <br />HK 15 L U <br />-46- <br />• 0 <br />
