1022     (1)  Information technology Enterprise resource planning
1023and management by state governmental entities is a prerequisite

1032maximizing information sharing and participate in enterprise-
1033wide efforts when appropriate.
1034     (4)  State governmental entities should maximize public

1043benefit can be accomplished, the costs for the development,
1044capture, and network for access to that data should be shared.

1365     (a)  Following approval by referendum as set forth in
1366paragraph (b), or following approval by a majority vote of its
1367board of county commissioners, a county may impose a "911" fee
1368to be paid by the local exchange subscribers within its
1369boundaries served by the "911" service. Proceeds from the "911"
1370fee shall be used only for "911" expenditures as set forth in
1371subparagraph 6. The manner of imposing and collecting said
1372payment shall be as follows:
1373     1.  At the request of the county subscribing to "911"
1374service, the telephone company shall, insofar as is practicable,
1375bill the "911" fee to the local exchange subscribers served by
1376the "911" service, on an individual access line basis, at a rate
1377not to exceed 50 cents per month per line (up to a maximum of 25
1378access lines per account bill rendered). However, the fee may
1379not be assessed on any pay telephone in this state. A county
1380collecting the fee for the first time may collect the fee for no
1381longer than 36 months without initiating the acquisition of its
1382"911" equipment.
1383     2.  Fees collected by the telephone company pursuant to
1384subparagraph 1. shall be returned to the county, less the costs
1385of administration retained pursuant to paragraph (c). The county
1386shall provide a minimum of 90 days' written notice to the
1387telephone company prior to the collection of any "911" fees.
1388     3.  Any county that currently has an operational "911"
1389system or that is actively pursuing the implementation of a
1390"911" system shall establish a fund to be used exclusively for
1391receipt and expenditure of "911" fee revenues collected pursuant
1392to this section. All fees placed in said fund, and any interest
1393accrued thereupon, shall be used solely for "911" costs
1394described in subparagraph 6. The money collected and interest
1395earned in this fund shall be appropriated for "911" purposes by
1396the county commissioners and incorporated into the annual county
1397budget. Such fund shall be included within the financial audit
1398performed in accordance with s. 218.39. A report of the audit
1399shall be forwarded to the department office within 60 days of
1400its completion. A county may carry forward on an annual basis
1401unspent moneys in the fund for expenditures allowed by this
1402section, or it may reduce its fee. However, in no event shall a
1403county carry forward more than 10 percent of the "911" fee
1404billed for the prior year. The amount of moneys carried forward
1405each year may be accumulated in order to allow for capital
1406improvements described in this subsection. The carryover shall
1407be documented by resolution of the board of county commissioners
1408expressing the purpose of the carryover or by an adopted capital
1409improvement program identifying projected expansion or
1410replacement expenditures for "911" equipment and service
1411features, or both. In no event shall the "911" fee carryover
1412surplus moneys be used for any purpose other than for the "911"
1413equipment, service features, and installation charges authorized
1414in subparagraph 6. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a
1415county from using other sources of revenue for improvements,
1416replacements, or expansions of its "911" system. A county may
1417increase its fee for purposes authorized in this section.
1418However, in no case shall the fee exceed 50 cents per month per
1419line. All current "911" fees shall be reported to the department
1420office within 30 days of the start of each county's fiscal
1421period. Any fee adjustment made by a county shall be reported to
1422the department office. A county shall give the telephone company
1423a 90-day written notice of such fee adjustment.
1424     4.  The telephone company shall have no obligation to take
1425any legal action to enforce collection of the "911" fee. The
1426telephone company shall provide quarterly to the county a list
1427of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of any and all
1428subscribers who have identified to the telephone company their
1429refusal to pay the "911" fee.
1430     5.  The county subscribing to "911" service shall remain
1431liable to the telephone company for any "911" service,
1432equipment, operation, or maintenance charge owed by the county
1433to the telephone company.

1435As used in this paragraph, "telephone company" means an exchange
1436telephone service provider of "911" service or equipment to any
1437county within its certificated area.
1438     6.  It is the intent of the Legislature that the "911" fee
1439authorized by this section to be imposed by counties will not
1440necessarily provide the total funding required for establishing
1441or providing the "911" service. For purposes of this section,
1442"911" service includes the functions of database management,
1443call taking, location verification, and call transfer. The
1444following costs directly attributable to the establishment
1445and/or provision of "911" service are eligible for expenditure
1446of moneys derived from imposition of the "911" fee authorized by
1447this section: the acquisition, implementation, and maintenance
1448of Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) equipment and "911"
1449service features, as defined in the Florida Public Service
1450Commission's lawfully approved "911" and related tariffs and/or
1451the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of other "911"
1452equipment, including call answering equipment, call transfer
1453equipment, ANI controllers, ALI controllers, ANI displays, ALI
1454displays, station instruments, "911" telecommunications systems,
1455teleprinters, logging recorders, instant playback recorders,
1456telephone devices for the deaf (TDD) used in the "911" system,
1457PSAP backup power systems, consoles, automatic call
1458distributors, and interfaces (hardware and software) for
1459computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems; salary and associated
1460expenses for "911" call takers for that portion of their time
1461spent taking and transferring "911" calls; salary and associated
1462expenses for a county to employ a full-time equivalent "911"
1463coordinator position and a full-time equivalent staff assistant
1464position per county for the portion of their time spent
1465administrating the "911" system; training costs for PSAP call
1466takers in the proper methods and techniques used in taking and
1467transferring "911" calls; expenses required to develop and
1468maintain all information (ALI and ANI databases and other
1469information source repositories) necessary to properly inform
1470call takers as to location address, type of emergency, and other
1471information directly relevant to the "911" call-taking and
1472transferring function; and, in a county defined in s.
1473125.011(1), such expenses related to a nonemergency "311"
1474system, or similar nonemergency system, which improves the
1475overall efficiency of an existing "911" system or reduces "911"
1476emergency response time for a 2-year pilot project that ends
1477June 30, 2003. However, no wireless telephone service provider
1478shall be required to participate in this pilot project or to
1479otherwise implement a nonemergency "311" system or similar
1480nonemergency system. The "911" fee revenues shall not be used to
1481pay for any item not listed, including, but not limited to, any
1482capital or operational costs for emergency responses which occur
1483after the call transfer to the responding public safety entity
1484and the costs for constructing buildings, leasing buildings,
1485maintaining buildings, or renovating buildings, except for those
1486building modifications necessary to maintain the security and
1487environmental integrity of the PSAP and "911" equipment rooms.
1488     7.  It is the goal of the Legislature that enhanced "911"
1489service be available throughout the state. Expenditure by
1490counties of the "911" fees authorized by this section should
1491support this goal to the greatest extent feasible within the
1492context of local service needs and fiscal capability. Nothing in
1493this section shall be construed to prohibit two or more counties
1494from establishing a combined emergency "911" telephone service
1495by interlocal agreement and utilizing the "911" fees authorized
1496by this section for such combined "911" service.
