Agenda 09/23/2014 Item #10A9/23/2014 10.A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the County Attorney to advertise for future consideration
an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2012 -23, which established the Collier County
Public Safety Authority.
OBJECTIVE: To amend the Collier County Public Safety Authority ( "PSA ") by changing
the membership qualifications in order to reduce potential Sunshine Law issues, which has led
to the PSA not meeting.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 26, 2012, the Board of County Commissioner adopted
Ordinance No. 2012 -23 establishing the Collier County Public Safety Authority to assume the
duties and responsibilities of the former Collier County Emergency Medical Services Policy
Advisory Board. Ordinance No. 2012 -23 created qualification requirements for the PSA,
however, the PSA has been unable to meet since May 15th, as many of the PSA members
work together and are concerned they may be unintentionally violating the Florida Sunshine
Law.
For the PSA to adequately serve the Emergency Medical Services Department and make
recommendations to the EMS Medical Director, PSA members must be able to attend without
fear of violating the Sunshine Act. Amending the membership qualifications of Ordinance
No. 2012 -23 would accomplish this. The proposed amendments are as follows:
"SECTION TWO. Appointment and Composition; Terms of Office; Attendance and
Filling Vacancies.
The Authority shall be composed as follows:
The Collier County EMS Medical Director or designee.
2. The Medical Director or designee of each non - transport agency holding a Class
III Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity or designee.

or City of Marco Island), as recommended collectively by such police Departments. Such law

4-5- 5. Three citizen representatives whose applications may include an interview by
the Public Safety Authority. The Public Safety Authority will make recommendations to the
Board of County Commissioners for their appointment. Such interviews and
recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners for appointment to the Public
Safety Authority shall be the Authority's first order of business to ensure a complete roster of
membership before other business can be conducted. Citizen representatives shall not have a
fiduciary relationship with first - responder public safety organizations noted above.
Terms for all Authority members shall be four years."

Because the proposed amendment reduces the
quorum provision in Section Six of the Ordin
members, to a simple majority of the membership
I also propose to amend Section Three as follows:
9/23/2014 10.A.
membership, I am recommending that the
ance be reduced from a minimum of eight
"SECTION THREE. Medical Directors Subcommittee.
It is the intent of the Board that to the extent possible, pre - hospital emergency medical
services operate at a uniform level of care throughout all of Collier County. Accordingly, at or
shortly following its first meeting, the Authority will take the following action:
1. Create a permanent Medical Directors Subcommittee, chosen by the Authority_

2. The Chairperson of this Subcommittee shall advise and counsel the Authority
regarding the training, performance, testing and certification of all agency- represented
emergency responders. The Authority may from time -to -time create, disband, or utilize an
existing subcommittee to engage in discussions regarding training, performance, testing, and
certification(s). Such efforts shall be properly noticed and formed by a majority vote of the
Public Safety Authority."
The PSA will be reconstructed following the enactment of the Amending Ordinance, which
will allow the PSA to once again begin meeting to serve EMS, the BCC, and the public.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost to advertise this Ordinance is $400.
