Agenda 03/12/2013 Item #10G 3/12/2013 10.G.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) direct staff to develop
a budget and implementation program to install emergency vehicle pre-emption devices
with white confirmation beacons at our signalized intersections as may be required as
expeditiously as possible. The emergency vehicle pre-emption system with white
confirmation beacons is essential to shorten the response times of emergency service
vehicles as such a system allows these vehicles to change a red signal to a green signal in
advance of intersection crossings while simultaneously announcing the imminent approach
of an emergency service vehicle through the use of white confirmation beacons - thus
ensuring a cleared roadway ahead of the emergency vehicle's arrival. The installation of
the pre-emption system should be prioritized based on the most frequently used
intersections by EMS and Fire Services. Accordingly, staff shall seek input from these
agencies to determine the installation priorities. Staff shall present a proposed budget and
installation schedule for the emergency pre-emption signal system by the first meeting in
April 2013. Providing a safe green to approaching emergency service vehicles may save
minutes. Saved minutes save lives.
OBJECTIVE: That the Board direct staff to develop a budget and implementation program to
install emergency vehicle pre-emption devices with white confirmation beacons at our signalized
intersections as may be required as expeditiously as possible. Emergency pre-emption devices
with white confirmation beacons are essential to shorten the response times of emergency service
vehicles as such a system allows these vehicles to change a red signal to a green signal in
advance of intersection crossings while simultaneously announcing the imminent approach of an
emergency service vehicle through the use of white confirmation beacons - thus ensuring a
cleared roadway ahead of the emergency vehicle's arrival. The installation of the pre-emption
systems should be prioritized based on the most frequently used intersections by EMS and Fire
Services. Accordingly, staff shall seek input from these agencies to determine the installation
priorities. Staff shall present a proposed budget and installation schedule for the emergency pre-
emption systems by the first meeting in April 2013.
CONSIDERATIONS: Emergency response times can make the difference between a life saved
and a life lost. The county's goal is to shorten response times to save lives where it can. As
such, the county is continuously looking to improve its emergency response system components.
The county has to a limited degree installed emergency pre-emption devices with white
confirmation beacons. The Board seeks to expedite the installation of this pre-emption system
since it will help to reduce response times. Coordinating with the emergency responder agencies
to prioritize the activation of intersections based on frequency of approaches is important.
Providing a safe green to approaching emergency service vehicles may save minutes. Saved
minutes save lives.
FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, and
raises no legal issues at this time. Any Board direction will require majority vote. -JAK

Item Summary: Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners direct staff to
develop a budget and implementation program to install Emergency Service Vehicle white
traffic signal lights and conversion traffic signaling as expeditiously as possible. An Emergency
Service Vehicle traffic signal lighting system is essential to shorten the response times of
emergency service vehicles as such a system allows these vehicles to change a red signal to a
green signal in advance of intersection crossings while simultaneously announcing the
imminent approach of an emergency service vehicle - ensuring a cleared roadway ahead of the
emergency vehicle's arrival. The installation of the signaling system should be prioritized based
on the most frequently used intersections by EMS and Fire Services. Accordingly, staff shall
seek input from these agencies to determine the installation priorities. Staff shall present a
proposed budget and installation schedule for the Emergency Services Vehicle traffic signal
system by the first meeting in April, 2013. Providing a safe green to approaching emergency
service vehicles may save minutes. Saved minutes saves lives. (Commissioner Hiller)
