Guest Participants & Subject Matter Experts

Variations exists in data collection beyond the 90/10 90/10 Rule – Answer 90% of 911 within 10 seconds

(FS 365.171) Disparate CAD in Plantation, Margate, Fort

Lauderdale, and Coral Springs (Pines and Creek pending)

Number of and impact of “misdirected” 911 calls via cell phones (estimated at 5-10%)

Current Challenges

Many elements of a regional system exist now◦Common CAD for fire rescue available for all

cities at no cost to the cities (front line units)◦Large infrastructure investment in technology

has already been made◦Most agencies on common communications

platform◦Many hard working communications

professionals involved

Platform of “establish a single unified approach with cross-disciplinary leadership and management”

Agreement that one PSAP was technically possible, but not advisable

Agreement on three geographically separate PSAPs within one system

Agreement on 34 overarching goals Agreement on a single CAD system

approach, but not which CAD should be used

Subcommittee’s Early Findings

Improve the level of safety for responders and citizens

Ensure safe structures with strong redundancies

Ensure seamless interoperability between sites

Ensure a well planned architecture of technology

Reduce or eliminate unfavorable impacts on the work forces

Examples of Overarching Goals

Ensure seamless interoperability within the county and near seamlessness with adjoining counties

Provide system that best supports closest unit responses and regional approaches

Establish operational metrics that meet or exceed established best-practices

Examples of Overarching Goals

Based upon call volume projections and APCO standards

Concerns expressed by Fed. Of Public Empl. Impacted by the number of participating

cities Sub-committee did not analyze the plan Recommendation -

◦ South PSAP – 179 FTE◦ Central PSAP – 166◦ North PSAP – 147 FTE

CTD’s Proposed Staffing Plan

Year built Hurricane rating Flood plain Future capacity Square footage for existing and expansion Housing for staff in a disaster Diversity of power, telephone, and data Proximity to coast Parking for staff in a disaster (minor)

Facility Assessments (elements with the highest values)

Sub-Committee recommends no further consideration of the following sites:◦ Pompano Beach/BSO – Facility and location◦ Fort Lauderdale – Facility◦ Margate – Facility◦ Plantation – Did not participate in this process

Results of Facility Assessments

Sub-Committee recommends further consideration of the following sites:◦ BSO – Public Safety Building◦ Coconut Creek – under construction◦ Coral Springs◦ Hollywood◦ Pembroke Pines◦ Sunrise

◦ Any further consideration should be accompanied by third party evaluation of the facilities

Results of Facility Assessments

Developed by BSO CTD Sites where other PSAPs could relocate to

and operate from in emergency or period of inoperability

CTD Recommended Sites:◦ Sunrise◦ Pembroke Pines◦ Coconut Creek (under construction)

Next Steps

Develop a Request for Proposal for consulting services to draft a plan to include:◦ Identify transition elements (people, hardware,

software, political, policies, interim management)◦ Evaluate compliance and best practices◦ Identify tentative participants◦ Evaluate the longevity of current CAD elements◦ Evaluate records management system options
