911 Emergency Telephone
Number and Communications
After many years, 911 e nergency tc lephoae number is approaching
implementation in Dade County through State mandate and public
demand.
Considerable planning for the implementation of 911 has been
accotipli:i-ed.wi .±in the lest year. A 911 planning committee was
established in ti_e county, and an area -wide committee was formed
to include representatives from the four major rainicipalities
(Coral Cables, Hialeah, Miami, i'tLarui Beach), the Dade League of
Cities, and Dade County (which serves the remainder of the twenty-
two municipalities) .
The tom ittee process has bean fully exhausted and Dade County is
at the joint of a'airg a decision on the course of action to be
adopted.
The Area -ride 911 Planning Committee explored rnIrprous alterna-
tives and selected five to be fully explcred. Out of the five
alternatives, two have been determined to be the most feasible.
These two options are:
1. 0re single 911 answering center of a multi -juris-
dictional nature to support all emergency dispatch
services; i.e., .fire, emergency medical, ambulance,
and 1 • _... `=o -cement..
a. FL Ve c:rers to be located in the
police (12part .tints of Niami, Miami Beach, Coral
Gables, ::,___e.._., and Dad_ Cou tv. This option
is referred to as the "selective routing" option.
Tnplemen_tation of either of these options rrsst be considered in
relationship to the broader scope of co^^, nicativuat iona
and service which includes manpower, equipment, and facilities
to support 911 and its integration Lat.: .:he law enforcement,
fire, and emergency medical radio frequency communications sys-
tem. Also, consideration must be given to the federal dollars
available for the comet uz' cations system expansion and improve-
ment projects.
All of these considerations are fully explored in the attached
st'---^3ry report, and it is important that you be inform ^ d'fu11y
of the planning efforts and the resultant requirements for 911
implementation.
The single center alternative would require that the county
proceed with the construction of the Regional Data Processing
and Co:.T::u: ications Center at a projected cost of $8,365,000.
Iri vie:.; the current fiscal restraints, this option would
not appear to be feasible :.t this ti:ce.
The other alternative for selective routing would, therefore,
be the recommended course of action, although this alternative
is not without costs attached. Funding sources have not yet
been is entified_. However, we are pursuing federal, state,
and other possible sources of funding to provide for the imple-
mentation of this alternative. This alternative has the offi-
cial support of the larger municipalities and is antizipated
t0 cost $1,655,000 far Laci1itics expansion.

There T.;i11 be additional annual recurring e::penses for the 911
service from Southern Bell for either option as noted in the
analysis of the Southern Bell's report in the attached summary
report. Note Exhibit G.
Based oa the attached analysis and the need and requirement for
this type of service by the citizens, it is reccmmended that
the county proceed in accord with the ni nicir alities and support
the selective routing option for 911 implementation.
Before we proceed with the funding for 911, a full report of
the funding sources will be submitted to the Ccr mi scion in the
near future.

SUMMARY REPORT
"911" PLANNli;C DAL)L COUNTY
In trroduc t ion
Nine -one -one (911) is the three -digit telephone nvmher that
has been designated for citizen use throughout the United States
�'1 r t l ' 1 -. c y ' 7 r g 1 7 r L�
i_, rEa.�.L_n:., 4n c�;:e:en..; �.n1 rE�ct�.estin�, e;:_rr�,d.ncy 4ssi�tanc
It is intended as a "universal" telephone nu:aber giving the public
direct access to an eiterger:cy service center.
The concept oC a universal tel.ephone, nu- ber was first real-
ized in Cr t on i i:i ::;ore than thirty year's ago with that coun-
try's e; t3e isi.ment oE "999" cn a national scale. Other countries
in Europe and elsewhere have since provided their citizens with
similar uniform emergency telephone numbers.
National Policy
I:: this country, official impetus for the development of a
Nationwide 911 sys ee:t :gas provided by the 1957 recommendation of
The President's Cemmission on Law Enforcement and Administration
of Justice that a "single number should be established" for re-
portire; emergencies. Other Federal Goverment agencies and various
gov_.:=ent crficials supplied further stimulus. In 1953, the
American Teleohona and Telegraph Co: pang announced that it would
ma'.•ce t:.e digits 911 available for national implementation. In
1972, The Office of Teleco=unications Policy; Executive Office of
the President, issued a national policy statement which reco3nized
the benefits of 911 and e nccur ged t.le nationwide adoption of 911
by 1977.
State of r l or _%._ :orLty
Lerida is one of the first states in the nation
to e::erc_=e direct- leadership and establish statute authority for
91? imp :ati on :n its state.
In e, , 1974, the Florida Leg: slature passed the Florida
F. erzencv Telephone Act of 1974 (Florida Statutes, Chapter 74-357).
Note Exhibit A. The intent of this legislation Is:
"... to establish and implement a cohesive statewide emer-
gency telephone number 911' plan which will provide
citizens with rapid direct access to public safety agen-
cies by dialing the telephone number 911' with the objec-
tive of reducing the response time to situations requiring
lad enforcement, fire, medical, rescue, and other emergency
services."
The le - _s la ti.on directs the State Division of Communications, in
cooperation with other state agencies, to be responsible for the
implementation and coordination of a statewide 9L1 plan. Section
nine (9.0) cf this Act states that:
"fro-: the effective date of this Act, nc emergency tele-
bhone nu: b r '911' system shall be established and no
present system shall l be expanded without prior approval
of the division of communications."
Section four (=:) of this Act further establishes a firm 911
i�:?1�.:r..a:,`ation schedule for local co=_:nities which specifies
that wits n six (6) months after the "plan" has been approved,
t::e sysre:a must be ordered. Within twenty-four (.:4) months after
receipt. of the order, the system must be implemented by the public
utility.
(2)
The Florida E:tergency Telephone Act has established the
means and has provided direct and concrete :rotiva =ion for
local agencies too start plan:iinfor the is p :a_ntation cf a
911 syst€..: in their cf,..-.uni.t:ies. It: his further strengthened
the auth3rity of the t.=;e Division of Communications 1.n expe-
diting the iple:..entation of 911 in the State of Florida.
Subsequent t,D GL is Act, the St_lte. Division of Communica-
tions has prepared :n Zi:t:E'i: i.:ii PLanuin ; Guide for the State of
Florida which provices planning 6uide1ines for local com.:unities.
This `side establishes preliminary standards for the op-
eration and de-:elop-:_nt of a 911 system and answering centers.

responsible for the provision, of 911 e.::argency service to citi-
zens of Dij.e County rezardless of their municipal l residence.
Dade County has been planning for a central emergency tele-
phone nu..'�er for citizen contact for ,::any years.
In April of 1968, the Central Communications and Records
Subco m1 ..tt':'e of l_ l:.' made County Joint Liaison Cor-mi ttee on Divi-
sion of Kesaonsibility for Urban Services approved and accepted
911 as a:: emergency police and :ire telephone number in Dada

In February, 1970, an article in the Miami Herald refer-
encing 911 - 377-7 77 7 criticized Dade County for not fur-
nishing the citizens with
a three -digit emergency call n]rriler as
had New York City and Chicago. Throughout the years, meetings
were continually held, generally under the sponsorship of
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, acquainting city
and county officials with the benefits of 911 and making pro-
posals for 911 implementation.
i h State authority and impetus for definite 911 planning
in Dade County, by State Statute and by a memorandum from R. Ray
Goode in 1;e:ember, 1974, a planning committee under the Chairman-
ship of E. Nilson Purdy was formed.
Statement cf Alternatives and Options
It vas from this planning committee that a total countywide
committee vas formed with representatives of law enforcement,
fire, e7:er-ercy meUical, and communications services from the
four major municipalities ('�iami, 'Miami Beach, Coral Gables
H aieah) , the Dade t.eazue of Cities, and Dade County. The re-
mainin;. twenty -to : unicipalities are provided communications
: ic. es `:'• the 2 fare County Public Safety Department and the
.•:.:uld continue to 'oe provided 911 service by Dade County.
..us determined that each of the above -named a;encies Mould
have a single vote for a total of six votes in the committee.
E h.iP't 3 :or listing of committee membership.
r,.fter full and extensive consideration of many alternatives
for the irn ie :ent.Ition of 911 in Dade County, two alternatives
4 (3)
appear to be the most feasible and it is reco-r^ended that one
of these two s`;o'.:1.d be accepted as an alternative for unin-
cor or3ted 'a .le County and the twenty-two municipalities that
it cur rent 1'r serves.

1. Cr.e Si _1e 911 Answering Center
In considering the multi -jurisdictional nature of Dade
Count- and rt consideration of the telephone exchange boundaries
wizicf: Co not Loin:id? with municipal boundaries a plan which
would serve the needs of the citizens, of Dade County and which
would offer an optimum level of 911 service would require the
=� cos ti .:c tion of a countywide communications un c•' s center. `er. Such a
center would periLit direct telephone t.ruking of all 911 lines
from all a::cha vas into a central facility that .:o:..? d provide
for: (a) e nerger.cy call screening; (b) _ primzry% secorda: y co:-
plaint 6C..i1ing; (c) cozputer support for address location and
verification; (d) computer -aided dispatch for call transfer;
(e) dispatch space and facilities for all municipal law enforce-
ment, lira, and emergency medical service agencies.
hi:, i:` p.'_ of center would r 1{A possible a "true 911" system
for Dade County. In other words a resident or tourist would be
able to p _c': up any toIenhone any' ere in the counts' and by
dielin,F; Y1.1 1.2 i_:ze iate i y i:: touch the appropriate service
e z:encv .. .� :. _ _ his omerg'".._y A s 1v centralized

would facilitate tT7.=. -ec1.-ire7.ent-s .Jr and autonomy of
Ea:h �:. , r cam c-. , b it i , , _, emergency medical, civil
d..=fense and law cn :orcemtmt, or .:.',.::1 ..._;gal and/o: county juris-
diction.
Ln February, 1; 5 , the County Commission approved an agree-
ment between Dade County and Sanders and Thomas, Inc. for pro-
fessional planting and architectural engineering services in
connection with the design of a regional data processing and com-
munications center, and is con itted to expending $176,000 in
this endeavor.
The specific intent and purpose in the planning of this
facility is to meet the direct and current needs of Xetropolitan
Dade Cc..t-' to the year 19J.::5 with pro rammed capability tobservice
the ccm ::n:ties' needs to the year 2.000 AD.
This : '_onal center would be desi;med to meet pressing needs
of la:: en..crce:rent, fire, and e:ce::;encv medical communications as
well as county data processing services.
lo cu':o_ t the continued effort in the construction of the
Data ircccng arn4 Communications Center could require the
f o i l ow i:-i :

Cons{ruc t on
with fallout shelter construction 4,620,000
Furnishing at 75% construction cost 3,465,000
Total Center Costs $3,365,000
c4}
In addition to the constructing of a single center, the
telep':,orle co:r:pany has prepared a report indicating cost data
on provicin_ tha tru 'cine for 911. These cost figures are
based on the current tarilt rates for telephone trunks. Note
E: hibit C for an analysis of this report. The single center
option is illustrated as Alternative ,;4 cn the Southern Bell
report.
The feasibility and future of such a canter will demand
substantial co;- - itcnent by Dade County to support and fund
such an endeavor. The construction and operation of a county-
;;ide c .me.0 ications center can only be accomplished through
aggressive Leadership and dedication of substantial resources
in terms of manpower and dollars.
2. Five 911 Ans .:ering Centers
The second alternative would be to provide for selective
rou_in,of the 911 calls to each of the five major law enforce-
mentc_ etch cereers located in the City of Miami, Miami Beach,
Ccr-_ Tholees., I'._,.ieah, and Dade County. The 911 calls from each
toleiene in t i h nici: tL oe jurisdictional area Gould be
routed to the 911 center serving that jurisdiction. This would
require that the telephone company, through means of the Elec-
tronic Switchin`, St< ti.ons (ESS), identify the calling number
and location and selectively route the 911 call to the appro-
priate agency responsible for serving teat jurisdiction.
Tha Cities of ;tiarai,, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Hialeah
have taken the initiative and have determined that the selective
rreetin7 option is to be their choice in the implementation of 911
county ;'_de. ,_ehiNits C, D, E and F.
T ` i s ': J y ! _ tO _i_:ec'ement 911 in the current Dada
County Pu ;.pc ;eefety Decartmen_'s C,c reunications Center. If
the s_ec t_:e rceetle:; ceeion i., to be sepportcd by Dade County,
' then to rovi de e = •heeded space for 911 implementation, the
entire fifth floor of the Public Safety Department Building
would have zo be utilized for communications. There is approxi-
racely 12,9C3 scuare feet of available floor space on the fifth
fico:. Based on a projection of 115 square feet and 125 square
feet per person, the fifth floor of the Public Safety Building
would more than provide adequate area for all employees, work
activity, administrative, kitchen, lounge, and storage space re-
quired in supporting a 911 operation.
This action would serve as an interim 911 center for the
nest five years and would require a new center as determined by
projected population figures.
The ex-,ar.sion to encompass the entire fifth floor of the
Public Sa _etv Building would require the movement -and relocation
of the Crime Laboratory Bureau. Due to the specialized nature
of the Crime Laboratory functions and the highly technical and
complex e•u ip .ens utilized, special site preparation and reloca-
tion ac tivi.ties :would be required.
`r-+zie ipated costs to into ludo movin , relocation, and site
praaarairn et mother site are based on a best guess estimate for
sp eci:.___ac •.nor:•:; i.e., disasse :7.b Lingi asse.:.bling work benches,
equipment, plu7.6in4, cooling systems at an average of $25 per
sgeare fo:e.: ter laeoratore space, and $10 per square foot for
office s::sc e for approximately 14,300 square feet over the next
five years.
It would cost approxirateLy $473,790 to relocate the Crime
Laboratory co ,another site, thus providing the space for expansion
e.
(5)
for the Communications Bureau on the fifth floor of the Public
Safety Building. This coy: should be included in the facility
expansion costs for Communications.
Specific charges for facility and site preparation for the
911 communications operations would include such items as raised
flooring with carpeted panels for specified work areas, carpeting
for all other areas, to (..phone co'^..:on equipment installation
charges, wiring and c .lblLn ; co.;t:s, power, kitchen and restroorn
facilities, 'and is caiculaeed based on an estimated per square
foot cost for each function.
The cost esti:-a'_es in th2 site preparation for communications
operations would aperoximate the estimates that were made re-
garding the relocation of the Cri; e Laboratory. There would be
approximately 5,30square feet of general office type space and
6.g04 square feet of technical operational type space. At the
assumed projected rate per square foot, site preparation would
cost S225,6-0 and an additional cost of $168,636 for telephone
and electrical services ;could be required.
The operational equipment and furniture requiem nts for
facility e.tipansion would require col;pl ai.nt and report writer con-
soles, suoerv:sory consoles, kitchen equipment, lockers, genera-
tor, and air conditioni.n.; projected at $787,400.
Total expansion costs for the fifth floor Communications
Center will require $1,655,466.

Recommendation
The alternative providing for a single multi -jurisdictional
center supported by Dade County while appearing to be most attrac-
tive is also the most costly. It would require that the county
make a commitment to rnncftr ct a rW facility and have it nro-
jected for completion by June, 1978 to accommodate 911 implemen-
tation. This option does not have the support of the four major
municipalities and in view of the current fiscal restraint, this
option would not appear to be feasible at this time.
The selective routing option supporting five 911 centers to
be located in Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah, and Dade
County Police Departments is the recommended option. It would be
the least costly in terms of initial capital outlay, but w4111 be
more costly after 911 implementation in terms of a higher annual
recurring cost. This alternative is ccnsistent with the official
position of the four major .municipalities and is projected to be
the majority recommendation of the Area -wide 911 Planning Committee.

Analysis of the Dade County 911 Report
Southern Bell •
The 911-report as prepared by Southern Bell provides rather
direct, straightion:ard cost data on the five alternatives for
911 implementation in Dade County. The attached charts are a
consolidatio:l of the basic cost elements illustrated by Southern
Bell.
Costs for connection and trunking installation are one time,
non -recurring costs. T14:unkir_g costs ' by either direct or tandem
method are illustrated on a monthly basis by Southern Bell, but
have been -annualized on Chart 1. Chart II illustrates total,
costs by trunking method direct, tandem, or selective routing
(alternative 5 only).
T'ne:e is relatively little difference in the cost or imple-
mentation dates among alternatives one through four. Alternative
five, the s___ct_.e reuti=; option., is not so costly as to be pro-
hibitive, and the implementation data cf :.!arch, 1978 does not
appear to be inconsistent with State planning guidelines.
The cost and tine data for implementing the various alter-
natives are not significant enough in the differences between
each other to justify a decision on selecting a particular alter-
native over another as was anticipated. It would appear based on
the perspectives of the various agencies involved in planning for
911 in Dace County that alternative five, though a little More
costly, would be the most desirable method for 911 implementation.
