ANALYSIS : Since adoption of the moratorium, the county has taken the following actions : 1 • January/February 2001 : Researched other local sovernment wireless master planning efforts , contacted other local government officials . and prepared a detailed scope of services identifying necessary tasks for preparing a wireless master plan and revising county regulations ( LDRs ) . 2. February 13 , 2001 : Board approved a detailed scope of services and authorized staff to initiate the RFP process to engage consultant services . 3• March 1 , 2001 : County issued RFP #3051 . 4, March 23, 2001 : County received seven responses to RFP #3051 . 5• April 2, 2001 : County consultant selection committee met, ranked, and short- list four firms and scheduled interviews with the four firms . 6• April 18, 2001 : County consultant selection committee interviewed and ranked the four firms : recommended CityScape as # 1 firm . 7• May 1 , 2001 : Board approved committee ranking and authorized staff to begin negotiations with CityScape . 80 May/June 2001 : Staff drafted contract and negotiated a "final proposed contract" with CityScape . 9. June 19, 2001 : Board scheduled to approve contract with CityScape . The need to extend the moratorium was anticipated by staff after researching the wireless master plan efforts of other local governments . In fact, staff, in its report to the Board at the February 13 , 2001 meeting, stated that the moratorium would need to be extended, as was done in Lakeland and Alachua County , when those local governments went through a wireless master planning process . Staffs position is that a six month extension of the moratorium ( until January 11 .2002 ) will allow sufficient time for completion of the first three steps in the five step master planning process contained in the proposed contract for consultant services . Those first three steps include forming a consensus of desired outcomes and goals and drafting an " interim " ordinance that should address fundamental concerns with the existing regulations and provide a mechanism for reviewing any new applications that might be filed before the wireless master plan is finalized and adopted . Therefore , staff requests that the Board authorize staff to prepare an ordinance to extend the moratorium for six months. and advertize for a public hearing for the July 3 , 2001 Board of County Commissioners meeting at which time the Board may adopt the ordinance .
