geographic, economic, population and other factors influencing the needs and
development of local communities; and
WHEREAS, Part 1 of Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes permits public agencies as
defined therein to enter into interlocal agreements with each other to exercise jointly
any power, privilege, or authority which such agencies share in common and which
each might exercise separately; and
WHEREAS, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission
recommended that counties be required to develop and implement communication
systems that allow direct radio communication between public safety answering
points (PSAPs) and first responders outside the PSAPs normal service area to
provide for more efficient dispatch of first responders; and
WHEREAS, in response to the Commission's recommendations, the Florida
Legislature created Section 365.179, Florida Statutes (Direct radio communication
between 9-1-1 public safety answering points and first responders); and
WHEREAS, FSS 365.179 requires each County Sheriff to facilitate an interlocal
agreement between all first responder agencies ( "AGENCY" or collectively
