DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

On October 17, 2024, the County Administrator signed a memorandum of agreement with the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) for the transfer of ownership and possession of one (1) 2023 travel trailer that had been purchased by FDEM to aid in the State of Florida’s disaster response to Hurricane Ian.

 

The travel trailer is no longer needed by FDEM, and they have transferred ownership of the travel trailer to the County to be utilized by Public Safety Communication’s Telecommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce (TERT) team when they are deployed to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), or 911 centers, to help during disasters and other emergencies. The value of the travel trailer is under $50,000. Final executed documents are included for informational purposes only.

 

Pending approval at today’s meeting, an acceptance letter will be presented for the Chairman’s signature.

 

BUDGET/IMPACT:

None
