Previous Action Taken
At the March 10, 2020 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (Item ID 20-397) the County Administrator was authorized to negotiate and execute a First Amendment to the standard form Participation Agreement and Regional Interlocal Agreement between Broward County and each of the Municipal Participants in Broward County's Regional Consolidated E-911 Communications System.
Summary Explanation/Background
This proposed standard form Second Amendment between the County and Municipality will amend the Participation Agreement and the RILA (collectively, the “System Agreements”) to extend the terms of the System Agreements for coterminous, consecutive periods of five years.
BACKGROUND
On or about September 30, 2013, the vast majority of municipalities within Broward County entered into the Agreement Between Broward County and the Participating Municipality for Participation in the Regional Consolidated E-911 Communications System which was subsequently amended by a First Amendment (as amended prior to this proposed Second Amendment, the “Participation Agreement”) in order to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare by improving the safety of first responders and persons residing or traveling in Broward County, eliminating or reducing call transfers that result in delayed responses, and facilitating the migration to consolidated new technologies, among other benefits.
In conjunction with entering into the Participation Agreement, each municipality also entered into a Regional Interlocal Agreement, which was subsequently amended by a First Amendment (as amended prior to the effective date of this proposed Second Amendment, the “RILA”) with County to allocate responsibilities for the deployment of technical resources and responsibilities for the countywide public safety communications system.
