  1  1    Section 1.  Section 34A.3, subsection 1, unnumbered
  1  2 paragraph 1, Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    The board of supervisors of each county shall establish a
  1  4 joint 911 service board not later than January 1, 1989.  Each
  1  5 political subdivision of the state having a public safety
  1  6 agency serving territory within the county is entitled to
  1  7 voting membership on the joint 911 service board.  Each
  1  8 private safety agency operating within the area is entitled to
  1  9 nonvoting membership on the board.  A township which does not
  1 10 operate its own public safety agency, but contracts for the
  1 11 provision of public safety services, is not entitled to
  1 12 membership on the joint 911 service board, but its contractor
  1 13 is entitled to membership according to the contractor's status
  1 14 as a public or private safety agency.  The joint 911 service
  1 15 board shall develop an enhanced 911 service plan encompassing
  1 16 at minimum the entire county, unless an exemption is granted
  1 17 by the administrator permitting a smaller E911 service area.
  1 18 The administrator may grant a discretionary exemption from the
  1 19 single county minimum service area requirement based upon an
  1 20 E911 joint service board's or other E911 service plan
  1 21 operating authority's presentation of evidence which supports
  1 22 the requested exemption if the administrator finds that local
  1 23 conditions make adherence to the minimum standard unreasonable
  1 24 or technically infeasible, and that the purposes of this
  1 25 chapter would be furthered by granting an exemption.  The
  1 26 minimum size requirement is intended to prevent unnecessary
  1 27 duplication of public safety answering points and minimize
  1 28 other administrative, personnel, and equipment expenses.  An
  1 29 E911 service area must encompass a geographically contiguous
  1 30 area.  No exemption shall be granted from the contiguous area
  1 31 requirement.  The administrator may order the inclusion of a
  1 32 specific territory in an adjoining E911 service plan area to
  1 33 avoid the creation by exclusion of a territory smaller than a
  1 34 single county not serviced by surrounding E911 service plan
  1 35 areas upon request of the joint 911 service board representing
  2  1 the territory.  The E911 service plan operating authority
  2  2 shall submit the plan on or before January 1, 1994, to all of
  2  3 the following:
  2  4    Sec. 2.  Section 34A.3, subsection 4, Code 1997, is amended
  2  5 by striking the subsection.  
  2  6                           EXPLANATION
  2  7    This bill provides that each public safety agency serving
  2  8 territory within a county is entitled to voting membership on
  2  9 the joint 911 service board.  Currently, each political
  2 10 subdivision of the state having a public safety agency serving
  2 11 territory within the county is entitled to voting membership
  2 12 on that board.
