Mayor, Members of the Commission, Bill Brown, Chairman of the Fire Rescue Advisory Committee. On Exhibit 1, what the board

Dean Trantalis 1:27

in September met is in regards to the AED ordinance. That recommendation was made to communicate to this body. We have learned that the

Bill Brown 1:39

city is in compliance with the county code. There's no need for a municipal ordinance. Also, when a certificate of occupancy is issued for new development or remodeling that requires it in these structures, fire rescue is required. DOING THE ENFORCEMENT AND SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS AT THE OCTOBER MEETING DUE TO THE HURRICANE, OUR MEETING WAS CANCELED. THEREFORE, WE'RE ASKING JUST TO WITHDRAW THAT EXHIBIT ONE AND THERE'S NO

by the commission for the committee, because we were to sunset at the end of the year. initially set for a two-year period so for another 24 months yes continue okay anyone have any questions with regard to any comments or thoughts with regard to whether or not to continue the fire rescue advisory committee for another 24 months any thoughts we never did talk about that at all No, I think the only recommendation that came a few months ago was adding additional members because it's a five-member advisory committee. Right, I remember that. But the initial

Bill Brown 3:18

ordinance as written sunsets it at the end of this year.

Dean Trantalis 3:22

Yes. And are you going to be able to get at least that fifth person? I think I read in the minutes, I know that, did one person resign because of attendance issues? That position has been filled. Filled? Okay. Yes. Anyone have the objection to extending it?

issues that Certification on the class of city that which Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue is the highest class. And so we're participating in their strategic planning meetings. We're continuing to work forward to help educate the public on the AEDs and other issues. Issues response times. We know that with the growth of the demographics

Bill Brown 4:36
