Communications

RE: Resolution authorizing purchase of Extended Maintenance Agreement from L-3 Communications to continue warranties on Thirty (30) In-Car Digital Video Recording systems and data storage server from the 266 Fund- Federal Equitable Sharing (DEA) special revenue fund.

The Sheriff's Department would like to purchase an Extended Maintenance Agreement from L-3 Communications Mobile Vision to extend the warranties of the Thirty (30) in-car video recorders, data storage server, software, and wireless equipment that was purchased in three phases (See board resolutions #2007-10-273; #2008-06-173; 2009-05-171). Since the equipment was purchased in three phases, the maintenance agreements expire on three separate dates this year. We would like to make one payment to cover the cost of the EMA for all of the equipment. This will be an annual cost for as long as L-3 Communications agrees to cover the equipment.

The breakdown of the total cost of the EMA is as follows: The server and RAID storage unit would cost $3,479.20 to cover from 4-25-2012 to 2-24-2013; The software would cost $360.34 once the hardware falls out of coverage prorated from 2-25-2013 to 4-24-2013; The initial ten (10) cameras would cost $4,750.00 to cover from 4-25-2012 to 4-24-2013 and then they will fall out of coverage; The seven (7) phase two cameras would cost $2,625.00 to cover from 5-27-2012 to 5-26-2013; And the last thirteen (13) cameras would cost $6,175.00 to cover from 9-11-2012 to 9-10-2013.

We will purchase the L-3 Communications Mobile Vision EMA for a total $17,389.54 which will extend all of the warranties into 2013. The total amount will be covered using funding from the Federal Equitable Sharing (DEA) special revenue fund. The statute governing this special revenue fund authorizes a purchase in this capacity. This purchase has been reviewed by the Purchasing staff and is in compliance with the Purchasing Policy.

Therefore, I am requesting that the attached resolution be approved. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: Authorization for Chair to Sign Use Agreements

August 1, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 3220 (2011-08-219) authorizing funding to construct an eight-site VHF simulcast radio system for dispatching the county’s eight fire departments and the EMS department.

System design has not been finalized at this writing. Currently, the system is slated to use towers owned by the village of Fowlerville, Livingston Community Water Authority (LCWA) and Deerfield Township. This department and county legal counsel developed a user agreement template, copy attached, allowing the county to place communications equipment, shelters, etc., on towers and property owned by other entities. It may also be necessary to enter into a user agreement with a private property owner to place a shelter and generator proximate to the LCWA tower in Green Oak Township. The template can be modified to meet the unique elements of these separate agreements.

Motorola, the project’s general contractor, is eager to begin construction. County legal counsel suggests the passage of a Board of Commissioners resolution authorizing the Chair to sign the agreements as they are perfected and approved by legal counsel as an expeditious means to transact this business.

Each separate agreement must also be approved by the governing bodies of the aforementioned agencies.

TO FIFER INVESTIGATIONS, LCC FOR CONDUCTING APPLICANT BACKGROUND

INVESTIGATIONS – 9-1-1 CENTRAL DISPATCH / EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT /

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE / FINANCE COMMITTEE / BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

WHEREAS, the 9-1-1 Central Dispatch Department will fill six to eight vacancies during 2012; and

WHEREAS, all applicant finalists are subjected to a thorough background investigation; and

WHEREAS, the number of vacancies coupled with failures during the training process will necessitate multiple background investigations before all vacant positions are filled; and

WHEREAS, the 9-1-1 department requests the competitive bid process per the Purchasing Policy be waived.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the competitive bid process per the Purchasing Policy is waived and the

Memorandum



Date: December 16, 2011

Re: Blanket Purchase Order for Applicant Background Investigations – Fifer Investigations

The 9-1-1 Central Dispatch Department at this writing has six vacant dispatcher positions. Two current dispatchers are experiencing health issues that may eventually force them from the department’s workforce.

Half of the applicants commencing on-the-job dispatcher training do not successfully complete the training program. The failure rate will necessitate as many as three background investigations each to fill the last one or two vacancies. The unusually high number of background investigations anticipated in the coming year requires the issuance of a blanket purchase order in an amount not to exceed $20,000.

The department hires Fifer Investigations, LLC to conduct thorough background investigations of persons successful in the initial stages of the application process. The firm’s president and lead investigator is Tim Fifer. Mr. Fifer is a retired state police detective whose specialty was background investigations on casino employees. He parlayed those skills into his current forte of conducting background investigations for public safety agencies; see Fifer Investigations, LLC client list attached. A full background investigation costs $900.

At this writing, Fifer Investigations has completed 16 applicant background investigations for the central dispatch department since 2009.

Whenever Mr. Fifer has made potential employment disqualifying discoveries about an applicant, he stops his investigation, reports his finding, and then awaits a decision by the employer if he should proceed or cease the investigation at that point. Stopping an investigation upon discovery of a disqualifying fact results in savings to the department each time it occurs.

The thoroughness of Mr. Fifer’s background investigations saves the employer time, money and energy. For example, one of his recent investigations revealed an





applicant was reported chronically tardy by a former employer. Tardiness is intolerable for this department; the applicant failed to make this disclosure and was disqualified.

This writer concedes the subjectivity, but will assert the unique skill set, experience, subject matter expertise and information provided by Fifer Investigations allows the department’s administrators to make better hiring decisions than when background investigations were conducted in-house.

Re: Resolution Authorizing Livingston County’s Participation in theFY-2010 Homeland Security Grand Program (HSGP) and County Officials to Sign and Submit Required Documents

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) annually issues a non-competitive, pass-through grant to states, regions, urban areas and counties to build and sustain preparedness, as well as recover from incidents of national significance called the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). The Michigan Department of State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (EMHSD) administer the HSGP on behalf of the DHS. Livingston County is in EMHSD’s Region One.

Re: Resolution Authorizing Extension of County Fiber Network

Livingston County participates in the Mid-Michigan 9-1-1 Consortium to share use and cost of a next generation 9-1-1 call system with Eaton, Clinton and Ingham Counties. The system’s heart is a redundant switching architecture with mirrored servers in the Livingston and Ingham County 9-1-1 centers. It is necessary to connect the two servers by primary and back-up geo-diverse high-speed network pathways to protect the system from a single point of failure.

The primary pathway will be a fiber optic cable connection currently under construction between Howell and Lansing via the Grand River corridor. It has been determined the most desirable back-up pathway is to connect the Livingston County fiber network to the Washtenaw County fiber network at Whitmore Lake, and then create a token ring to Lansing through Washtenaw, Jackson and Ingham Counties, which are already connected. This will ultimately connect the 9-1-1 centers of Howell and Lansing by two separate and distinct network paths.

The Livingston Educational Service Agency (LESA) previously bid expansion of the Livingston County fiber network to Ingham County via Webberville as a base bid with 17 optional legs, see attachment. One of the previously bid options was the connection between Livingston and Washtenaw Counties via Whitmore Lake at approximately $85,000. The electronics, slicing and network configuration will add an estimated $20,000 to the overall cost to complete the connection.

Memorandum


From: Lt. Don Jakrzewski

Date: 12-1-2011

Re: Livingston County Specialized Response Team

In 2010, the Livingston County Specialized Response Team (SRT) expanded their incident response capabilities that originally only included hazardous material incidents, to include underwater search and recovery incidents. The Sheriff Department, having a technical underwater search and recovery unit, was invited to join 6 other emergency response organizations that maintain underwater search and recovery units. The advantage of sharing resources is obvious when dealing with these types of incidents.

The Sheriff Department has worked very close with all local Fire Departments when responding to underwater search and recovery incidents occurring within our jurisdiction. At times, we have been called on to assist in neighboring jurisdictions for assistance.

The Livingston County Specialized Response Team Participating Agreement dated June 17, 2010, details member obligations. As a member of the SRT, it is required to pay an annual fee of $3,500.00. As outlined in the agreement, these funds are used primarily for “uncollectable” costs associated with response to hazardous material and underwater search and recovery incidents. Some of those costs are equipment maintenance and repair, supplies, training, and equipment purchase.

The Sheriff Department has suffered a decrease in funding for the maintenance of the Sheriffs’ Dive Team. The SRT does not only allow emergency response personnel to work collectively in responding to these types of incidents, but also allows for sharing expenses incurred while doing so. I have attached the Sheriff Department Dive Team expenses incurred by year from 2003 to present.

Funding for this position is contained in the 2012 Budgets for IT, LETS and Administration. This modification in his schedule should have been executed simultaneously with the reorganization of the Equalization Department (reference attached Resolution #2011-11-312). The net change to the General Fund for the redistribution of duties/responsibilities in the Equalization Department and modifying the Financial Analyst position is a savings of $4,138.00.

BACKGROUND

Since July 2008, Darren Speer has been splitting his daily job duties / responsibilities between a Senior Appraiser position in the Equalization Department and Financial Analyst position in IT, LETS & Administration. Initially, and for approximately One (1) year, the split was Three (3) days in Equalization as a Senior Appraiser and Two (2) days as a Financial Analyst (1 day each in IT and LETS). However, as the Financial Analyst workload increased, in July, 2009, the Board of Commissioners approved the split to Four (4) days as Financial Analyst and One (1) day as Senior Appraiser (reference attached Resolution #2009-07-218).

In November 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the reorganization of the Equalization Department to redistribute the workload within the department; bring the Industrial Study back in-house; and, eliminating the One (1) day per week Senior Appraiser position. The reorganization reduced the overall cost of operations in the Equalization Department, approximately $19,000 and the net savings to the General Fund is $4,138.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

From: Jeffrey R Boyd


Re: CMS Innovations Grant

Livingston County EMS has been closely following sudden opportunity for a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovations Grant Opportunity that is over 11 million dollars and being applied for by the Michigan Rural EMS network. The grant would bring almost 2.5 million dollars over the course of 3 years to Livingston County. The opportunity funds a community paramedic that would provide preventative health services to Livingston County Residents and has provisions for sustainability beyond the three year grant cycle.

The goal of the community paramedic would be to prevent CMS patients from being admitted for preventable disease processes and to prevent CMS patients from being readmitted to the hospital for patients recently discharged. This reduces the cost to CMS by preventing costly hospital visits and readmissions.

The money would be used to fund existing initiatives already in place by Livingston County EMS and grant preference is placed on organizations that already have processes in place to jump start this initiative.

If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact me.

3. Employees hired after ratification contribute 20% of the cost of their selected health and dental benefit (plus buy-up costs), with the base benefit being PPO 4.

4. 0% increase to pay scales – 2011Me to for any across the board increase for non-union employees – 2012Me to for any across the board increase for non-union employees – 2013

9. Includes all prior initialed and dated TA’s.

10.Contract through 12/31/2013.

County Administration is pleased with this agreement as it secures necessary concessions in wages, health care, and pension. Therefore, we strongly recommend Board approval of this agreement. Should you have any questions,please feel free to contact me.

Letter of Understanding

This Letter of Understanding is made this ____ day of ___________, ________, by and between Livingston County and the Michigan Association of Public Employees/MAPE.

WHEREAS, the Livingston County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution No. 2006-10-336 October 16, 2006, adopting a human resources anti-nepotism and anti-fraternization employment policy; and,

WHEREAS, the anti-nepotism and anti-fraternization employment policy was incorporated into the Livingston County Personnel Manual effective December 05, 2011; and,

WHEREAS, the anti-nepotism policy and the Personnel Manual proscribe siblings of differing ranks working within the same sphere of influence; and,

WHEREAS, central dispatch employed siblings Joni Stidham and Jami O’Bryant as dispatchers; and,

WHEREAS, Joni Stidham was promoted April 1, 2008; and,

LIVINGSTON COUNTY

STREET NAMING AND ADDRESSING POLICY

SECTION 1

GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this County-Wide Street Naming and Addressing Policy is to establish standards for naming roadways, posting street signs and assigning numbers to all dwellings, principal buildings, businesses and industries; and to assist emergency management, first responders, the United States Postal Service and the public in the timely and efficient provision of services to residents and businesses of Livingston County.

This policy is written and adopted to eliminate addressing confusion and to create a standard system by which addresses may be assigned and maintained from this time forward. It is not the objective of this policy to correct all erroneously addressed structures. All addresses and road names within the municipalities identified in Sec. 1,B., ADDRESSING RESPONSIBILITY (below) as addressed by the Livingston County Information Technology Department are subject to correction notwithstanding the length of time such address or road name has existed. Corrections of addresses and road names will be made when non-conformity interferes with the accurate dispatch of emergency vehicles or postal delivery as outlined in Section 5 of this policy.

No policy can anticipate every condition or question related to individual circumstances. Livingston County reserves the sole right to revise or rescind this policy or any portion thereof as it deems appropriate. Amendments to this policy will be communicated to the community through official notices.

SECTION 3

NUMERIC ASSIGNMENT

A. FRONTAGE INTERVAL/ADDRESS STYLE

The addressing system within the townships is based on a baseline meridian structure. The county is divided into four quadrants based on the following roads: Oak Grove Road/Pinckney Road/Toma Road as the meridian; and Mason Road/Golf Club Road/Commerce Road as the baseline. See Appendix A.

Livingston County uses a formula developed by Detroit Edison. Addresses are generally based on 1000 address numbers per mile. When divided by 5280 feet per mile, this calculates to one address number for each five (5) foot (+/-) interval. Addresses are assigned based on the location of the driveway entrance, not the front of the structure.

For townships previously addressed by Consumers Energy now under the addressing jurisdiction of Livingston County GIS, the Consumers Energy formula of one address number for each ten (10) foot (+/-) interval will be followed. Townships under this formula include: Cohoctah, Deerfield, and Tyrone.

The villages of Pinckney and Fowlerville use a city block address range style with approximately 50 addresses per block. The meridian for the Village of Pinckney is Howell St; the baseline is Main St/M-36. The meridian for the Village of Fowlerville is Grand Ave/Fowlerville Rd; the baseline is Grand River Ave. See Appendix A.

B. ODD/EVEN NUMBER LOCATION

The location of odd and even address numbers applies to townships and villages.

North of the baseline, even numbers shall be on the easterly side of the roads;Odd numbers shall be on the westerly side of the roads.

South of the baseline, even numbers shall be on the westerly side of the roads;Odd numbers shall be on the easterly side of the roads.

East of the meridian, even numbers shall be on the southerly side of the roads;Odd numbers shall be on the northerly side of the roads.

West of the meridian, even numbers shall be on the northerly side of the roads;Odd numbers shall be on the southerly side of the roads.See appendix A.

5

C. FRACTIONAL, ALPHANUMERIC, HYPHENATED ADDRESSES

There shall be no use of fractional addresses, alphanumeric address numbers or hyphenated address numbers. This also applies to apartment numbers and suite numbers.

D. COMPONENT ORDER

Components of a street address shall always be in the following order: address number, directional prefix (if any), street name, street type/suffix, post-directional (if any), designation of apartment or suite, and apartment/suite number.

E. DIAGONAL STREETS

Diagonal streets shall be treated as either north-south or east-west streets. Once orientation is established, it shall be used the entire length of the road. The orientation will not change even if the road changes direction.

Within developments it is advisable to consider the direction of the beginning of the road.For example, if it originates off a north/south road and begins by going east before meandering in any other direction, it is generally considered an east/west road.

F. CIRCULAR STREETS

A circular street/road is one that returns to the same origin point or to the same originating road. Circular streets shall be numbered beginning at the low numbered intersection and continuing to the other end of the road. The outside of the circle is numbered first and the inside is then numbered to match and mix with the outside. This will result, in most cases, with fewer numbers on the inside of the circle and with larger spaces between the inside numbers.

G. CUL-DE-SACS

Cul-de-sacs shall be addressed using the system based on the baseline/meridian structure,odd/even numbers on the appropriate sides of the street and meeting at the mid-point or the back of the cul-de-sac.

H. CORNER LOTS

Corner lots shall be addressed to the road the driveway accesses. The assigned addresswill be determined by the site plan presented at the time a building permit is requested. Display of address numbers on the structure shall face the road to which the home is addressed.

6

I. EASEMENTS/STACKED ADDRESSES

Houses sharing a common drive/easement shall be addressed to the main road from which the easement is accessed and using the numbering system applied to the main road. Local zoning and private road ordinances governing the requirement to name private drives/easements vary. The addressing official will consult the local government prior to assigning a new address sharing a common drive/easement.

J. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES

A single-family residence shall receive its own individual address determined by the basic rules for distance and direction.

K. DUPLEX RESIDENCES

A duplex shall be addressed with each unit receiving its own individual address determined by the basic rules for distance and direction.

L. APARTMENT BUILDINGS

Apartment buildings, where one entrance provides access to a number of apartments, shall be numbered with the main building receiving one address and each individual apartment being assigned apartment numbers as secondary location indicators. The apartment number assigned should indicate the floor location (e.g. Apt 204 is the fourth apartment on the second floor). Alphanumerical numbers are not to be used.

Apartment buildings with multiple entrances, where each entrance provides access to a limited number of apartments, shall require an address for each individual entrance. Each individual apartment shall be assigned an apartment number indicating the floor location. Alphanumerical numbers are not to be used.

Apartments that are accessed by a separate door for each unit shall be addressed with each unit receiving its own individual address determined by the basic rules for distance and direction.

M. MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES

Each individual manufactured home shall be assigned its own individual address following the basic rules for distance and direction. This generally results in leaving four(4) to eight (8) numbers between adjacent sites.

7

N. TOWNHOUSES

Townhouses that are individually owned and not part of an apartment complex shall be assigned an individual address for each unit as determined by the street allowing main access to the building and following the basic rules for distance and direction.

Townhouses where one entrance provides access to multiple units shall fall under the apartment category and shall be addressed as apartments, with the main building receiving one address and each individual townhouse being assigned apartment numbers as secondary locators. Alphanumerical numbers are not to be used.

O. CONDOMINIUMS

Condominiums shall be assigned an individual address for each unit as determined by the street allowing main access to the building and following the basic rules for distance and direction.

An apartment building or townhouse complex converted to a condominium shall be required to be addressed with an individual address for each unit.

P. INDIVIDUAL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

Individual commercial buildings shall be given one address to the road/street on which the driveway access is located as determined by the basic rules for distance and direction. When a business faces a main road, but is accessed from a secondary road, an address will be allowed to the main road if the primary entrance faces the main road.

It is preferable for an individual building housing more than one business to be issued a separate address for each unit. However, an individual building housing more than one business has the option of using suite numbers when the interior units do not have external access doors to the street. If an individual building housing more than one business includes an external access door for each unit, then each unit shall be assigned an individual address as determined by the street allowing main access to the unit.

A large retail complex/superstore that houses one main retail business with additional smaller retail spaces within (i.e. grocery store with cleaners, bank, hair salon etc.) shall be assigned one address for the use of all businesses located within the main structure. This address shall be posted on the outside of the main building in a manner legible to the public as well as emergency responders.

Q. STRIP COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

Strip commercial buildings shall require an address to be reserved for each individual entry door. Careful planning shall be taken to reserve enough numbers for future divisions of businesses. Each business shall receive its own individual address. If a

8

business is large enough to use space accessed by two or more doors, the business shall be assigned the number that corresponds to its primary entrance.

Addresses shall be determined by the street/road from which the business is accessed. On corner lots, when a business faces a main road but is accessed from a secondary road, an address will be allowed to the main road if the primary entrance for the units faces the main road. When each unit has an individual entrance, the building will be addressed to the road on which the majority of the entrances are located.

R. MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES

Outbuildings and/or utility meters required to have an address shall be given their own individual address, generally four (4) to six (6) numbers from the main residence. Outbuildings having their own access drive shall be assigned an address following thebasic rules for distance and direction.

S. WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS TOWERS

A wireless communications tower shall be assigned one address determined by the basic rules for distance and direction. Each additional carrier shall obtain a suite number.

Re: Approval of Amendments to Street Naming and Addressing Policy

In April 2002 the Board of Commissioners approved the first Livingston County Street Naming and Addressing Policy to promote the standardization of procedures for street naming and address issuance throughout the County. The policy was last reviewed and updated in 2005. In order to keep the Policy up-to-date and actively used, the need to review and make appropriate changes is evident. Therefore, the Address Policy Committee, consisting of representatives from GIS, Central Dispatch, the Road Commission and local units that assign their own addresses, has reviewed the existing policy and proposed changes.

Highlights of the changes included in the newly revised policy include:

Indicated Unadilla Township issues their own addresses

Added the address grid for each village

Require developers to name access streets that may not have any addresses assigned

Prevent business names from being used as street names (i.e. Thermofil Way was changed after the business changed ownership)

Expanded section to describe changing a street name (subdivision/condo vs. unplatted private road vs. public road)

Extended address & street name corrections to 60 days

Removed appeal section

Added a Suspension of Process section to give residents additional time to comply with an address correction

Re: Establish Addressing Ordinance

Addresses issued by IT/GIS, either as a new address or a correction, include a house number and street name. The process for determining an address was standardized in April 2002 when the Board of Commissioners first approved the Livingston County Street Naming and Addressing Policy. The policy was amended in 2005 and additional changes have been proposed in a separate resolution submitted along with the Addressing Ordinance.

It is apparent after working within the guidelines established in the Street Naming and Addressing Policy for almost 10 years the policy must be incorporated as a county ordinance to ensure consistent application. While the policy has been very useful in providing a standard set of procedures, it has no enforcement provision, making it impossible to ensure county residents use the address issued by the Information Technology Department/GIS Division. Correct and uniform addressing is vital for efficient delivery of county services including, but not limited to, public safety, building inspections, soil evaluations, and health inspections.

Re: Resolution for an Inter-government Agreement with the

Village of Pinckney

Attached for your consideration is an Intergovernmental Agreement between Livingston County Information Technology Department and the Village of Pinckney.

The village offices and the Pinckney Police department are located in the same building in the village. The Pinckney Police department was connected to the Livingston County Public Safety System through the recently completed fiber optic project. Recently the village president asked if it would be possible for the village to use the same fiber connection for the purpose of obtaining technology services from Livingston County IT.

After reviewing the connection and the fiber strands available it was determined that the requested connection could be made without requiring any additional equipment or software. The changes to the infrastructure can be completed by technical staff in less than four hours. The village has agreed to pay for the technician’s time to accomplish the transition.

The village will be using the system for access to the Wide Area Network and Internet connectivity. They have also agreed to a two year contract at a rate of $50 per month.

If you have any questions concerning the agreement please contact me.
