Many Radio System Projects are underway to include: Closing Out Rebanding Project Working with Motorola and Sprint/Nextel on final true-up of equipment. P25 Project will continue through the end of This project will require that subscriber units for St. Pete Police, Pinellas County Sheriff s Office, Pinellas Park Police and Tarpon Springs Police will need some type of firmware upgrade and/or programming. Expect to hear from Suncoast/Motorola for schedules and specifics Also feel free to contact Donna Beim ( ), Gary Dempsey ( ), or Jackie Weinreich ( ) with any questions. The radio system was upgraded from 7.9 to 7.13 in December 2013 as part of the $8.499 million major upgrade project recently approved by the BCC. The radio system will be upgraded from 7.13 to 7.14 in the coming months (planning on March, 2014). The reason for two upgrades is that we cannot upgrade more than 4 levels at one time. A new Master/Prime will be installed at the PSC, and the Ridgecrest site at EMS will become an active back-up Master/Prime. This should be complete by June, 2014 in time for hurricane season.

5 6. New Business A stand-alone 20 channel RF site will also be installed at the PSC to provide mobile radio coverage in the event of a total system outage. This should also be complete by June Construction continues on the PSC and we will begin installing 911, CAD & Radio equipment at the end of January. The console furniture is on site and being assembled. LE Information Systems and Analysis Mike Cooksey No report this month Homeland Security Corporal Armistead No report this month 7. Old Business Chief Stelljes updated the Council with respect to the upcoming Principal/SRO meeting and some of the recent dialogue that has taken place with the School Board Administration. Chief Stelljes provided a handout (attached to the minutes) of the tentative schedule of events at the proposed January 17, He advised that Pinellas County Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Grego has asked him to prepare a draft agreement between the schools and law enforcement, similar to what is currently in place within Broward County, which prescribes how issues from minor offenses to major offenses will be handled between school personnel and the SRO law enforcement personnel. Discussion took place within the Council and there was consensus that Pinellas County has had agreements in the past similar to the concepts of the Broward County agreement. These agreements have faltered to a degree because of a lack of continuity brought about predominantly by the inevitable change of personnel both from school personnel to SRO personnel. The Council stressed that the successful implementation of any pending agreement has to be tied to a long term commitment by the school board, law enforcement and the judicial system that transcends changing personnel. 8. Roundtable Tarpon Springs Police Department Captain Jeff Young offered Chief Kochen s sincere thanks for the law enforcement assistance provided at this year s Epiphany Cross Dive. SAC Rick Ramirez reminded the Council of the free advanced learning classes being offered by FDLE. 9. Adjourn Chief Thomas and Chief Stelljes
