§ 441-3. Authorization for installation; insurance; intermunicipal agreement required.

A. 

This Legislature hereby authorizes, empowers and directs the installation of a County-wide enhanced 911 emergency telephone system with multiple PSAPs to be located in each of the following locations: Suffolk County Police Department, Babylon Central Fire Alarm and Rescue Corporation, the Smithtown Fire District, Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services, Northport Village Police Department, Amityville Village Police Department, Riverhead Town Police Department, Southampton Town Police Department, Southampton Village Police Department, Southold Town Police Department, East Hampton Village Police Department and the East Hampton Town Police Department. Additional PSAPs may be designated by the Enhanced 911 Steering Committee at a later date. PSAPs may only be deleted by duly enacted amendments of this article after a review and recommendation of the E-911 Commission.

B. 

PSAPs shall provide to Suffolk County written evidence of all necessary and appropriate liability insurance coverage as determined by the Suffolk County Division of Insurance and Risk Management.

C. 

No PSAP, excluding the Suffolk County Police Department PSAP and the Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services PSAP (“non-County PSAP”), shall qualify as such or be designated as such under this chapter unless it first agrees to enter into an intermunicipal agreement with Suffolk County outlining the responsibilities and liabilities of both the County and the non-County PSAP as a precondition to such qualification or designation, including but not limited to the non-County PSAP accepting sole responsibility for the cost and expense of operating its PSAP.

[Amended 12-3-2013 by L.L. No. 3-2014]

D. 

Any non-County PSAP receiving monies pursuant to this chapter shall agree to separately account for and keep adequate books and records of the amount and source of all revenues received for system costs, from whatever source derived or received, and of the amount and object of each expense or purpose of every expenditure thereof. The non-County PSAP shall further agree to the inspection and audit of such accounts, by a duly authorized representative of the County of Suffolk, as deemed necessary by the County.
