RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Amendment #3 to the Agreement between Pensacola State College and Escambia County - Michael D. Weaver, Public Safety Director

That the Board take the following action concerning Amendment #3 to the Agreement between Pensacola State College and Escambia County:

A. Approve the Amendment #3 that accommodates for the access and use of the Pensacola State College, Century Center for the potential use of the property as a Point of Distribution (POD) during disaster response and recovery efforts; and

B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to sign the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In 1999, Escambia County entered into an agreement with the District Board of Trustees of Pensacola Junior College, now know as the District Board of Trustees of Pensacola State College, for the use of the Lou Ross Center as the County's designated Special Needs Hurricane Shelter. On October 21, 2010, the Board approved an Amendment to this agreement expanding the uses of the facility in an effort to leverage local resources in the event of community disaster response needs. On January 5, 2012, the Board again approved an amendment to agreement allowing for even further expansion of uses for the Lou Ross Center to continue the effort of leveraging local resources in the event of community disaster response needs.

The Town fo Century location was previously identified as a Point of Distribution (POD) for the county when the Escambia County School District owned the property, but with the change in ownership came the need to enter into a new agreement for the access and use of the property under the new ownership. With the continued support and partnership from the Pensacola State College, the college is again expanding their support to the county with the continued access and use of the Pensacola State College, Century Center within the Town of Century for the potential use of this location as a POD that would service the northern area of the County and the Town of Century as disaster operations may identify the need.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

There will be no budgetary impact to the county to enter into this agreement. However, any expenses incurred as a result of the use of this location as a POD during disaster response operations, will be absorbed by the county, which would typically occur under a Local State of Emergency.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney, has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form and legal sufficiency.

PERSONNEL:

N/A

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

Board of County Commissioners' policies require agreements be approved by it.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

John Dosh, Emergency Management Division Manager, will oversee implementation of this agreement through Emergency Operation Center plans and programs upon approval of this agreement.
