CITY COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM: E911 Contract with Jacksonville
DATE: January 19, 2005
SI7Bp~?iTTEli'i Jot : David E. TIYU11rpsUli, C1iiCi of Foliise/DPS
BACKGROUND: Duval County collects a user fee on all telephone lines in the county
~"" to offset the expenses of providing E911 services. Jacksonville
purchases the E911 emergency equipment for the answering stations
including the three beach cities.
~.
Each year, Jacksonville reimburses the cities of Atlantic Beach,
Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach 30 % of their personnel costs
~„ for Emergency Communication Operators. We have agreed on a
reimbursement of the expenses for emergency communications based
on 30% of the calls attributed to E911. On a quarterly basis, the cities
provide documentation of their emergency communications expenses
including salary, benefits, and training. Jacksonville reimburses 30%
of the costs.
The actual numbers in the attached paperwork are "not to exceed"
figures, provided by each of the beach cities. These numbers are
typically provided by the cities, and the numbers are inflated to assure
that they will cover the reimbursements over the next year. Although
Neptune Beach has a higher maximum distribution amount than
Atlantic Beach, it does not mean that Neptune Beach will receive
more money than Atlantic Beach. The actual reimbursement is based
on the actual expenses incurred by each city.
BUDGET: This will provide revenue to the City of Atlantic Beach, not to exceed
$87,222, to reimburse 911 Emergency Communications expenses in
the Department of Public Safety.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the approval of the Interlocal Agreement for the
distribution of 9-1-1 funds including the authorization for the Mayor
to sign the paperwork.

From: Patricia Welte, 9-1-1 Coordinator, Duval County
Re: 9-1-1 Salary Reimbursements - FY 2005-2006
Please sign the attached Inter-Local Agreements for call-taker salary reimbursement.
The maximum distribution amounts set aside for salary reimbursement are listed below:
Atlantic Beach $ 87,222
Jacksonville Beach $133,715
Neptune Beach $122,818
~. Baldwin $ 31,103
These are the maximum amounts budgeted to reimburse your agencies for call taker salaries.
The maximum amount calculations are based upon the previous years actual salary expenses,
staffing and salary information provided to me by your police department. These calculations
~. include a 6% increase over the actual agency expenditures for the 2000-2001 Fiscal Year.
Florida Statute 365.171 permits each county to utilize 911 revenues to reimburse the costs of
• call taker salaries for time spent answering and transferring 911 calls. It also permits 911
funds to be utilized for call taker training and other associated expenses. The formula Duval
County has chosen to use for reimbursement is 30°~ of each call taker's salary, plus 30 % of
~* that figure for training and associated expenses. Communications Supervisor salaries are also
included in these calculations and distributions.
Please contact me at 630-2317 if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you for your cooperation.
