BOOK Zx_ Pace 655 Adh (PSAP). The State Treasurer recognizes the County as the recipient of the 911 funds and the responsible party for PSAP operations in Lee County. At the January 20, 2009 meeting of the Board, an Interlocal Agreement for 911 services was presented and approved and forwarded to the City of Sanford, asking they respond within 30 days. On January 28, 2009 the City forwarded a letter to Chairman Hayes that upset some Board members with its tone and various statements addressed. Mr. Crumpton stated the State is holding approximately $400,000 of 911 funds that will not be released until a signed agreement between the City and County has been received. The City Manager stated in his January 28`h letter that "the City of Sanford is not interested in controlling dispatch for the Emergency Medical Services or rural fire departments. We are only providing these dispatch services at the request of the County." County Attorney K. R. Hoyle stated the County has complied with the General Statue and has filed all reports with the State. Commissioner Shook stated that all stakeholders should have a voice in how 911 services are served. Commissioner Dalrymple also agreed with Commissioner Shook's comments and stated •'we are responsible for all citizens of the county". She further questioned why the City would not give the County a counter-contract to work with. Commissioner Kelly stated if the City doesn't like our contract they need to provide something for the County to review and consider. Mr. Kelly further stated "we, as a group need to come up with something." Commissioner Reives stated the City is protecting their own interest. He further stated elected members need to find out what the State 911 Board wants/needs.
