synopsis regarding the 911 accreditation. Tiffany Bennett also gave a brief update on a
meeting earlier and introduced Debbie Gailbreath and Linda Blanding who gave a
presentation on the 911 accreditation with CALEA. An informational packet on CALEA was

bring a recommendation to the next Board meeting. Jack S requested Carolyn contact

Chief Baldwin gave a power point presentation on the Alarm Ordinance update with three
(3) different revisions of the ordinance. Doug A suggested presenting this at a workshop
meeting in May with the City of Ft. Pierce. Chief Baldwin also stated Indian River County
is using a system called Cry Wolf and they have been successful using it. Chief Wilson also
reminded everyone the Fire Department needed to be included in the figures regarding
false alarms. It was determined to go ahead and obtain a proposal from Cry Wolf
regarding their service. Doug A suggested having a representative from their company at
the next 911 Board of Governors meeting.
Jack Southard stated a draft ordinance of the BDA Ordinance was in the agenda packet.
The ordinance will cover new construction and renovations. There was a brief discussion
concerning this. Jack S reported the ordinance was being presented before the Planning
and Zoning Board on April 17th and before the Board of County Commissioners on May 6th.
Major Monahan volunteered to go to the Planning and Zoning Board.
Doug A requested to bring a proposal from Dolph's maps at the May 911 Board of
Governors meeting. He also requested a report from the Austin trip at the May meeting.
Chief Wilson suggested having the 911 Center be accredited through CFA instead of CALEA
as the cost would be cheaper. Jack said he would have a report by the next meeting on
this. Chief Wilson said he would have Sheriff Mascara talk to CFA to see if they would be
interested.
Doug A asked for an update on the 800 MHz funds from Jack S. Jack explained there is
still quite a few more years on the Bond service. Any excess helps pay for the
maintenance of the infrastructure. He also stated this year Finance is saying Fine &
Forfeiture will not help cover the costs.
Next meeting May 29, 2008 @ 3:00 pm.
Meeting adjourned at 4:24 pm.
