Mr. Smith reported that he had attended a County Commission meeting recently at which a proposal by the County staff was discussed for a countywide level of fire service, and also a countywide dispatch system. Mr. Smith stated that the proposal would establish a procedure whereby the closest agency would be the first responder, which could pose a problem for a municipality by taking away from our • service without having someone to back us up. The Commission will forward it for development of an ordinance, working with municipalities and other interested groups, to be placed on a referendum in 2004. 2 Minutes of Regular Session Held Thursday, Apri124, 2003 • The second item discussed was a countywide dispatch service, which would not be mandatory, but there would be financial incentives for cities' participation. A concern voiced by Public Services Director Duke Johnson was the issue of double taxation, whereby residents of North Palm Beach have paid to have their own communications center and then would have to pay again for an expensive countywide system. Included in that would be imposed standards that the fire department would have to meet, which is a home rule issue. Vice Mayor O'Meilia stated that the Palm Beach County League of Cities is heavily involved in this and has been discussing this issue with the County for at least a year, and there are problems with both submittals offered today. The County Commission has agreed to cooperate fully in this matter. Other items briefly discussed included the library air-conditioning for the Children's Library, school hours posted on school crossing signs, and a petition.submitted to the Council objecting to noise at Wash and Wax World. The Village Clerk was directed to send a copy of the petition to the Director of Public Services for investigation.
