(BWJP) (R2018-1650) modifying the payment schedule for years two and three for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2021, with no change in the contract amount. SUMMARY: In 2018, an amount not to exceed $150,000 was allocated from the Criminal Justice Commission’s Domestic Violence Trust fund to the County to contract with the BWJP to complete a three-year training and best-practices evaluation of the County’s response to domestic violence. This project consists of ten phases. The original Schedule of Payments broke the compensation down by year. Phases 1 through 6 were to be completed and paid for in year one; phases 7 and 8 were to be completed in year two and phases 9 and 10 were to be completed in year three. Phase 6 deliverables were not completed in year one due to unanticipated delays. The parties amended the original contract agreeing that phase 6 could be completed in year two of the project (R2020-0284). Due to unforeseen circumstances related to COVID-19, Phase 8 deliverables could not be completed or compensated in year two. Phase 8 activities include meeting with law enforcement stakeholders to present initial findings and incorporate community feedback and suggestions. Additionally, it is possible that completion and payment for deliverables outlined in Phases 9 and 10 could potentially be delayed in year three. In order to allow greater flexibility, Exhibit B 2 “Schedule of Payments” is being amended to allow the BWJP to be compensated upon completion of the Phase, regardless of what year it is completed in.

A. PUBLIC SAFETY

1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on February 9, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, (Ordinance No. R.2017-030) titled the EMS Ordinance; amending Section 13-20(d) (COPCN and endorsements required); providing a savings clause; providing severability; providing inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing captions; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ordinance establishes standards for issuing Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN’s) which are required to provide emergency medical services in the County including the provision of Advanced Life Support transport and Basic Life Support inter-facility transfer services. Currently, the EMS Ordinance restricts governmental agencies from providing inter-facility transfer services; which are termed Secondary Services. The Health Care District of Palm Beach County (HCD) wants to develop their own hospital based emergency medical system and apply for a Secondary Service Provider COPCN to provide inter-facility transports of patients which would be limited to patients needing transports from Lakeside Medical Center, a public hospital in Belle Glade, to other HCD facilities and specialized treatment centers and patients needing transports to and from the JFK North Addiction Stabilization Unit operated in partnership with HCD and the County. This amendment to the EMS ordinance would allow a governmental agency operating a public hospital to provide limited inter-facility transfer services with conditions when such hospital has obtained a COPCN from the County and a license from the State. Following approval of this amendment, the HCD is eligible to apply for a Secondary COPCN; which would still come back to the Board of County Commissioners for review and approval as part of the regular Secondary COPCN solicitation process that expires June 30, 2021. At the December 17, 2020 EMS Council meeting, the EMS Council reviewed and unanimously recommended approval of the EMS Ordinance revisions. This proposed amendment to the EMS Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on January 20, 2021. Countywide (LDC)
