 Okay, thank you everyone gave a couple minutes. I know everybody's agile at toggling between multiple meanings and and call back in so this time I'd like to Do a quick roll call to validate that we have everybody here and so we can continue so to Chief Diggins here and Miss Brunner here Miss Mugoski here and And Miss Ramos present And Sheriff Bronn, Sheriff Bronn. I thought I saw your photo pop up, but it was quick. Come back Sheriff. Are you? here Thank you. Mr. Cia still absent Chief Vermeer's Chief Warren here and Chief White here. Thank you okay, so Sheriff Ron, do you know if you were able to unmute and We will continue we do have a quorum, so we'll continue and move forward so We have concluded our closed session and so I have nothing to report at this point to the public I Would like to move into our next agenda item, which is our legislative update Reggie if you're with us, Mr. Salvatore is our Chief of Legislative Affairs here for Cal OES Thanks, Mitch. Good morning folks. I just wanted to give an update on some of bills that we've been tracking here related to Telecommunications so there's two bills that had just been introduced within this past month One of them is AB 2538 by Assemblymember Robert Reeves and that would require OES to expand the California State Warning Center to include targeted alerts for public health dangers including smoke from wildfires it would also require OES to create a state notification system that sends texts and voice messages in Multiple languages to residents and farm workers based on their zip codes in order to allow them of public health dangers in their area Additionally, AB 2751 by Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia Was introduced and this bill which is called the affordable Internet and Net Equality Act would require the CPUC in Coordination with the Department of Technology and the Department of General Services to develop and establish the Net Equality Program Additionally SB 857 by some by Senator Ben Hueso would extend what the California High Cost Administrative Fund A and B programs under the CPUC to January 1st of 2028. Now those High Cost Administrative Funds A and B are monies in each of the state's universal service funds and are Proceeds based upon the rates and are held in trust for the benefit of rate payers and to compensate Telephone corporations for their costs of providing universal service Additionally, AB 988 by Assemblymember Bauer-Keyon would Require 988 Centers Which are the behavioral health centers to provide a person experiencing behavior health crisis access to a trained counselor By July 16th of this year and by January 1st of 2027 provide access to a trained counselor by call text and chat Additionally, AB 1100 by Assemblymember Aguiar Curry would require the Information that is collected from seat from telecommunication service providers by the CPUC be broken down by each Emergency or disaster and then be submitted to as a report to the Commission As well as to the appropriate policy committees of the legislature Additionally AB 1565 Which is a committee bill by the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management chaired by Assemblymember Freddy Rodriguez would authorize OES to investigate the feasibility of establishing More than one toll-free 800 telephone line and consider lessons learned and best practices of local governments and other states that established hotlines during the COVID pandemic and other major disasters on the federal side for Telcom bills HR 1250 by Congresswoman Doris Matsui Would require the FCC to report on certain activations of the disaster information reporting system or DERS And to adopt specified rules related to network outage reporting Additionally HR 1848 by congressman Palloni would Rebuild and modernize the nation's infrastructure to expand access to broadband as well as next gen 911 Additionally HR 1859 by Congressman Adam Smith Would authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services acting through the assistant secretary for mental health and substance use To award grants in order to establish an unarmed 9-1-1 response program Additionally Senate bill 466 which is the Kelsey Smith Act by Senator Moran Would require a mobile or internet voice service provider to disclose the location information of a device pursuant to certain requests And then lastly Senate bill 1175 which is the 9-1-1 save Zach by Senator Burr would categorize Public safety telecommunicators as a protective service Occupation under the standard occupational classification system So those are some bills that we're currently tracking and we'll be making these available to the board members as well after this meeting If there are any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Thank you Reggie appreciate the update Do we have any questions from the board? Okay, do we have any questions from the public hearing none? Thank you very much Reggie appreciate that and I know you're it's a busy time for you So I'm looking forward to next quarter and we'll see how things come together here for all of us. So, thank you Thank you everybody Our next agenda item is the California 9-1-1 branch report Mr. Butch Curry is going to provide an update for us regarding current project set now in G9-1 deployment And anything else that's going on our activity. So that I'll turn it over to Mr. Courier All right, thank you and Paul if you could check the chat window somebody asked a question you could pop that bill The bill the last bill number that Reggie mentioned. I Didn't write that down. We're not supposed to use the chat All right, okay So I'll give an update and like like normal. There's gonna be quite a minute information here So I'll be Watching the screen as well Paul if you have a question from a board member, please feel free to To interrupt me as as I go along this slide provides a summary of the things I'll be going over And we're going to start out with our Statistics from 2021 you probably remember in December we gave you a projection. These are the actual numbers from 2021 and we went ahead and listed on here also the stats from 2019 and 2020 the Reason you see the 2020 numbers lower is the mandatory stay-at-home orders that were in place Resulted in a drop in the number of 911 calls And what we saw in 2021 is our numbers return back to you know, basically the same as what they were in 2019 However, you're seeing wireless increasing Wirelines significantly decreasing and voice over IP holding about the same in terms of overall call volumes and Just to give you an idea for context The last numbers I looked at the next largest state had about 19 million 911 calls So not only are we the largest system in the u.s. We're Significantly larger in terms of call volume than some of the other states out there All right Our cpe our call processing equipment to see equipment that answers 911 calls in the center We have a master service agreement in place where p-saps can select The equipment that they want installed you see in 2021 our numbers were down significantly The reason for that is we had to put a freeze on New equipment sales because the equipment that is currently being offered does not comply with the contract And we've talked about that quite a few times on these advisory boards And just to give you an overview of what we're talking about there the the cpe Equipment that we bought has to comply with the nina i3 standard. It's in the contract And we've been testing and validating this in our lab And None of the current vendors are able to meet those requirements. And so that's why we've had to suspend the sales They we are able to and we have been able to identify At least minimum software requirements Needed to interface with next gen 911. It doesn't support everything in the contract But it at least gives the ability to answer a 911 call transfer a 911 call in the next gen world and also Do the location information And our cpe vendors are are going to each PSAP And reprogramming that equipment Each position has to be looked at individually and we're learning that typically that requires multiple visits back to the PSAP We're trying to refine that process so that there's not so much negative impact on You having a technician in your back room multiple times And also obviously the the increased workload on on the cpe vendor And so We've asked them to finish all these upgrades by july of 2022 And the cpe vendors are putting some Resources in place to meet that timeline right now. They're projecting they'll be done in the fall of 2022 And we're hoping through streamlining this that we can continue to move that in This step is required in order for that Your call processing equipment to be able to interface the next gen 911 and receive a phone call A couple of things that we know of today and this list is getting shorter, thankfully But each of our major vendors vests us in over 300 PSAPs They're currently having a problem that when a call comes in on next gen 911 is received on next gen 911 And then transferred out It's duplicating that transfer request multiple times. We call that a refer And it's generating multiple messages so you can imagine that's not desirable We don't want multiple versions of the same call in the network Motorola who produces vesta is working on Trying to determine what that problem is They've been working on this for a number of weeks This is an item that we have to resolve before we bring any additional PSAPs online And so we're hoping vesta puts the resources in place to do that Viper is having a problem with Wireline calls where the location includes An apartment number or another line of of data in that location field And they're not able to properly parse that and pass it on to CAD computer a to dispatch, which is the next system down line They've they've got it. They're working on a fix to have that in place We think that they'll have that resolved this month and we'll be able to move forward With that particular call processing equipment about 80 PSAPs have that the rest of our PSAPs have a A bunch of other cpe providers So we you know, we want to just encourage you to know that we've got the personnel And the funding to go full speed once we get cpe at a place where we can sell again And we're obviously actively working to resolve these problems So I'm going to pause here and see if there's any questions because I know this is a really important topic for the PSAPs out there Any questions from any board members on this? But I'll ask a question if anybody else does Just to clarify When we talk about legacy cpe I thought I heard you say that once these these items are resolved That people could purchase off the legacy cpe, but I believe that's not accurate that you that the Intention is to move forward with the the cloud providers or is that has that been a change? So if the legacy providers were 100 compliant with the contract. Yes, we would do that They will not be able to be 100 compliant is what we're seeing Because they they can't do There's there's three or four specific Functions that we've briefed out To this advisory board I think the last time I briefed it out was probably six or eight months ago, but they cannot Determine and produce Q-state position state of the actual dispatcher, which is required for nina i3 They cannot Do ip version six and p-sap credentialing which is required And there's some other Down in the weeds Nina i3 stuff that the cpe can't do that the requant contract requires them to do None of that and it's kind of gets confusing because we knew that those limitations existed We put Workarounds to shore up those gaps in our next gen 911 Course core system so that we can still deliver the call We just don't want to buy More of that old equipment that doesn't meet all the needs And and if it essentially put a p-sap in a place where you got brand new equipment That doesn't do everything it's supposed to and you're stuck with it for five years So you're right man the the plan is and continues to be Uh this current cpe contract of legacy cpe expires in april. We're going to let it expire The new cloud-based contract which i'll talk to in a couple of slides Is the way of where we're headed in the future And that's the cpe that we'll be deploying at p-saps in the future and i'll give a status on that in a minute Thank you All right, brenda. I see your hands out Yes, um kind of what lian was um speaking about the legacy equipment with the viper and updating the software so our p-saps Needing to uh contact the Ender directly for the upgrade Before april before the contract is that something the state is going to work on or How do we keep our system up and running? Yeah, so the state is making those contacts for you and we're we're coordinating a schedule Um andrew mattson on my team is heading that up And he knows the schedule that's been given to us by You know, it could be one of several different vendors, but AT&T has the majority of the cpe support that's out there Frontier is supporting some and then you know, we have some motorola directs some intrado directs And other service providers, but andrew is coordinating all that on my team And uh, he can give you a status of when You know your p-saps is scheduled and and keep in mind that Your date is dependent on everybody before you meeting their date and not rearranging things around And uh, that does happen quite often, but that's that's the process we're in now If you are an integrated text to 911 p-sap, you'll be done by the end of march Is when your upgrades will be completed because we need to have those software updates in place To do the text to 911 transition i'll cover that in a little bit And then the rest of the p-sap migration schedule primarily follows Um the schedule that we've been pushing all along on Where we are in terms of migration and like said andrew has that detail Okay, thank you Right rosa. I see your hands up Good morning budge, um and everyone two questions and please stop me for something you're going to cover in your next update on cloud-based cpe The first question is does the state have a plan for when the cloud best Cloud-based cpe deployment will take place. I imagine just looking at the prior slide I mean you have over a hundred p-saps on legacy systems that are prior before 2016 So i'm i'm guessing everybody's going to go huge rush to try to make a purchase So is the state prepared to handle that? What's the plan? The second question of that is When will each p-sap know how much funding we will receive For the new cloud-based cpe purchase Okay, so yes, I am going to address both those questions on the next couple slides And call me out if I don't All right, um, so cloud-based cpe We signed the contracts in december 2020 Started bringing vendors into our lab to do that test and originally We wanted to finish next gen 901 deployment completely before we added the extra Layer of complexity of cloud cpe That's not a good idea now as the timeline for next gen 901 has been extended due to some of the challenges We've encountered so we did a change to our contract working with cdt And we added the functionality for cloud-based cpe to interface with camera trucks Your existing 901 connections All of that has been done. And so the way this will work is Once the cloud vendor passes the lab testing and I'll give you some stats on that on the next slide They then have the Andrew calls this their hunting license They're able to go out and and sell their equipment to peace apps We know you want choices. And so we're working hard To get as many Of these vendors that you see on this slide through the testing process So we would love to have five through by the end of may I mean by the end of march It will probably take us into may or june before we get five But we'll probably have two or three available by the end of march And i'm going to show you the graphic on the next slide Once you've got Folks on this graphic that are green meaning they've passed lab The contract requires them to be able to deploy at your peace app within 90 days Of when they finish the statement of work. So the process will remain the same as it is today We have some peace apps out there that are in years Six seven and eight for maintenance. We want to let them go first There's a a new peace app down in desert hot springs That's forming they're they're going to go first because they're on a a tight timeline. They have no cpe at all And then from there janay Who is on this call? She's the supervisor that manages your peace app advisor She'll work with those other peace apps on a priority basis. So we get those that are critical through first We probably can get about a hundred done in a year provided we have The cpe Through lab that you like All right, so that first year is going to be busy for her We've got the staffing in place. We have the process defined We've done almost a hundred in a previous year Where they were on prem solutions and they were much much more difficult In terms of complexity to install. So we think we can do a hundred and The first few May take a little longer than 90 days as they figure out some of the details But that would be our hope Rosa is that once you select a vendor Within 90 days that solutions in your in your peace app and you're validating that it meets your needs So did that answer all your questions? Mine is the financial piece, but um, I have another question if you don't mind me Yeah, so the the financial piece you'll know when you reach out to jenay. It's based on your call volume and It'll be very similar To your last allotment very similar I they're not going to be significant changes because the pricing didn't change significantly. So But but you'll work with jenay and your your peace app advisor To go through those details once you submit to us a request Just like, you know, you you have in the past Thank you. My my other question budge as I'm looking at your product list here And I've never seen the rapid deploy product the omni 9-1-1 cloud What's the plan for giving peace apps the opportunity to see these products? So Too too pronged approach. We've been very careful not to let the vendors contact you Before they pass the lab because we don't want you to be bombarded by a bunch of Cpe vendors who may never make it through the process So we we are not letting them talk to you on purpose yet So once they get through the lab in their green Then we'll let you know who those are that have passed And you've got a couple of opportunities. You can come up to the lab and see it in person No problem You can schedule with jenay and we can give you a drive test of it remotely A little harder for you to interact with it remote But if you can't get travel for some reason then we can facilitate that And then I think the other opportunity where you could do this directly is next week at Cal Nina Because these vendors will all be there and you'll be able to see at least their demo Now at that point they may not be through the lab yet and you can't make a purchasing decision So if you fall in love with one and they can't get through lab until August or september then you just have to wait till then to buy it All right, so this graphic we used last time and we thought it would be helpful Because this doesn't really tell you how much farther do they have to go so we came up with this graphic And for any vendors that are on this watching the presentation If you think I put your box in the wrong spot, let me know And I'll send an update But this is as of friday what we were told by our testing team So every box on here correlates to a step in the process And the green box at the end is is the magic box, right? That's that's when we certified it and they're ready to sell So you can see we work through this they first have to establish a vpn connectivity They configure uri as a uri stands for a uniform resource identifier. It's it's like a domain name It's just the way that you communicate in next gen and they start doing testing We give them test numbers and they're able to actually place calls into next gen core services And the vendor will receive them back at their interface in the cloud to see if all the connectivity is working and so Carbine is at that step right there and I by reading through the data I don't know if they've finished that hurdle and they're they're on the next one Or if they're still at that one it was a little unclear to me from the data So carbine if you're listening and I have you one box behind where you should be my apologies The next once they validated they can exchange calls back and forth with core services Okay, then they start what we call phase one And they go through phase one testing With us to validate that they actually can interface with the core service and do basic functionality We validate that and then they then that we order the circuits To connect them to both of the core services and some of this is a little technical. I understand So if you're not tracking that's it's okay But basically any vendor in california needs to be able to receive and route Receive routed calls from the region provider and receive routed calls from autos So you have to connect and test with both core services to make sure that you can interact with their bridge software and all the other details are in there Omni nine one one and Motorola cloud are in that process right now Once you get through that Then you actually sit down with calla. We ask after you validated you can go through all the test cases And there are literally dozens and dozens of test cases that we we put them through Um everything from voice calls text calls rtt video calls transfers Abandoned no answers overflow. All that gets tested Autos has a product called gemma and nga is a cross call handling solution They're in that testing where they've come to us and said we're ready We've ran them through the scripts. There's a couple of things they're working on I expect those two to finish out their work By the end of this month, maybe mid march ish And so those are the two that I think will be you know, certainly in march will will make an announcement Um the other three on this graphic certainly could also meet that pace Depending on how things go with them So that's kind of where we are with cloud cpe and more of a visual Representation to give you an idea of some of the complexity here So any other questions on that because this is kind of a new graphic and we want to see up What you think about it and then any vendor who's just initially Contacted us or given us a business card and got on contract or whatever. They're in that white box They've they've yet to start through this process Switching gears and text to nine one one. This graphic has remained unchanged. I'm not going to spend a lot of time here So charise did a fantastic job getting us full statewide deployment Really excited about that and then we told her hey, guess what let's do it again in next gen So let's see where we are with next gen nine one one Anybody who's got com tech over the top will be transitioned to rapid deploy. We've started that transition We started that transition on february 16th And by the end of this week, we'll have 15 p saps transitioned Next week we're going to do something like five a day. And so this number is going to grow quite quickly And charise and jenay are leading this effort. They're testing right now. There's there's four more that are going live today Any questions on over the top because i'm going to transition to integrate it I don't want to make sure everybody's tracking what we're doing there if you are going to be going live by The end of april you will get a message from charise this week Telling you that schedule And everybody will be finished by the end of june Okay integrated We wanted to begin in march Ran into a little problem with the testing with vesta 7.8 and viper It was vesta 7.8 in the field. They're working on solving those problems So we're going to begin the integrated transition On april 4th that gives us another month to work through these challenges Your cp will have to be upgraded to 7.8 if you're on vesta And it has to be upgraded to viper if you're on With a proper and they call them kb levels it has to do with the settings that are internal to viper And those will start in april and there's i think there's 302 I can go to the previous slide there's 302 over the top and then 134 that are integrated and so all 134 integrated will start in april and will Will be finished by june so by june 30th will be completely transitioned over Uh from the old text contracts to next gen 9-1-1 Been a long time coming but we're getting there charise is doing Fantastic job and her and june have been doing a lot of testing and we really appreciate all the support from the p-saps as well Because we've had to we've had to do a lot of work at individual p-saps to make this happen So any questions on text? All right next gen 9-1-1 This is our schedule. Um, I briefed this out last time. We're live in to all of me county Um with direct calls into to all of me county sheriff ability to transfer to chp merced cal fire san adreus and sonora pd Um, and that has been active since november 17th. I think it is and um, we have had 100 system availability There have been some call routing things that we had to address adjust to But the system is performing just like we expected it to And additional carriers are going to be brought on a march h and march march 8th and march 15th We wanted to do them in february and the reason why we couldn't was that uh, Viper parsing issue that I told you about We have to get the viper software able to parse the location data properly. So we're ready to go We'll be moving uh frontier. I think is what we're migrating into Sonora pd. I believe it is on march 8th and then verizon wireless will happen on march 15th In the southern portion of our state imperial county is scheduled to go live in march We've got to get through the Vesta multiple refer issue before we can go live there So we're we're trying to push that issue And then similarly up in eldorado county in the middle of our state go live scheduled for march 16th Pending that multiple refer issue All right, and these two are wireless Um, which is why the the the uh, viper issue doesn't come into play there because it's wireless calls that extra A field is not populated And then we anticipate moving through the rest of the state on the dates that you see there With the goal to try and finish by december, but Given the way this project's going I'm pretty sure we're going to go into 2023 a little bit. So that's where we are. Um Any question on on our process or progress If you're wondering when you will cut when you're going to go live Until we get these dates solid we can't advertise solid dates for the rest of the schedule As much as we want to we we just can't So once we get Confirmation that there's no remaining barriers will get a definite schedule. We'll get it out to you um If you want to know where you are in terms of deployment, this dashboard is still active I took the screenshot this morning. You can see we're doing really well. We're um, you know above 90 percent for both Autos and region for equipment installs Though the reason why they aren't at 100 there's I don't know 20 or so piece apps that are Moving or they've got construction going on or there's there's some significant blocker That we have to solve And then you see that middle bar where the that's the CPE upgrade you see we're working through that and then we actually validate we can land calls Once the cb is upgraded and then that 1 percent really That's the ticker of how many piece apps are actually live and so that'll that'll start climbing In march So this is a live tool It's not password protected. It's public data So if you want to see where you are You can filter for your piece app and get a status of where you're at And our gis team did this they did a fantastic job with this dashboard All right, any questions on on that? Okay Couple more slides and I'll be done. I know you're probably tired to hear me talk Wanted to give you And and all the vendors out there a heads up on a couple of procurements that we're running right now Our data analytics platform. So for california. This is ecats This is what we're using for statewide management information system software to get statewide stats on call volumes and transfers and everything that we do A wireless routing all that's wrapped into this There's a link there and the pre-solicitation is out on uh cali picura the way that works is It's 80 90 percent of what we think the final version of the rfp will be We put it out there. We gather your comments. We've got a comment page You submit those back and we need those by march 21st We will take all those comments meet confidentially with the bidders in the end of march Update the solicitation push it back out in april go into final negotiations and sign contracts by june That same timeline applies to data sharing But data sharing is a different project data analytics is your The third party validation we use for statistics of the network Data sharing I've got a graphic on that but again Here's the link to get to the rfp very similar timelines But this one's a little more complicated. So before I get into data sharing I want to see if there's any questions on data analytics and what that is Let's talk data sharing So the idea is that today Your p sap has call processing equipment We've talked about that today And then it pushes location information over to cad computer a to dispatch That's what you're using to dispatch your resources and you interface with your emergency responders or whomever And if you want to share data from one piece out to another Pretty much the only way you can do that today is via a phone call or some other manual process And there's a better way to share data And we want to facilitate a better mechanism Leveraging next gen 911 and these ip connections that we have So we came up with this concept of data sharing and it has two pieces The first piece is a portal Think of this as a way to view the information if Your equipment at your p sap can't integrate it directly We would prefer you to just integrate it directly But if you can't we didn't want you to not have access to the data. So that's the data portal And today's p sap that is things like Rapid s os rapid deploy Maybe you're using rave or some other platform to look at 911 type data Above and beyond what you can see in cpe and cat. That's the data portal Now there's got to be a way to gather that data in to the system We're calling that data conveyance. It's how you move data from one place to another it would pull data via either a nina i3 standard interface Eid o emergency information data object or Some other i3 mechanism or an api which is just a Programming interface where you could push This api to cad cad sends it the data in those mapped fields And then it'll pull it back up into the system and share it with other p saps Based on permissions that you define at the p sap level and that permission process is granted through the system It also would have the ability to pull in information from the next enigma one system from cloud cpe Or supplemental data that might be out there and it's all shared based on permissions That you have Whether it's cgs or clets or neighboring agency or i want them to view my resources but not be able to modify them Or i've got auto a mutual aid with them and i actually want them to be able to modify resources All that is baked into the system We've got the rfp out there and Um, we're going to work through this process to get this in place So we don't have you as a p sap in a place where you say i want that data But i don't have the right portal to see that data. So now i can't get that data We want to remove that barrier so a fairly um interesting concept and initiative definitely uh A lot of challenging steps to go through But we're hoping that you'll give us some feedback and input on that. So i'll pause there for your for your questions All right, we're going to have a time down at calnita To talk through this so anybody who's interested in Joining us in kind of an after-hours session to talk through this let us know and we'll loop you in and if you have comments um about the solicitation they're due in um There i see lian's hands up go ahead lian I was trying to actually use the feature instead of jumping in front of everybody like a normally just to see it doesn't work Um, so I had some thoughts about this from seeing it from the long-range planning committee And so I wanted to ask a question that may spur some conversation um With the data conveyance piece Um, you know yesterday we said basically what I heard you say is if we can you can set this up for your CAD to communicate with i'm looking at rosa with alameda counties cad um That's great. You can use the data conveyance. So basically we're going to use the esi net Instead of the agencies that are currently using cad to cad that have to pay for a network the network is going to be basically um Not a cost that agencies are going to have to worry about anymore. Is that accurate? That is definitely accurate. Yes, ma'am Okay, so see I learned something from yesterday um, but the But they would still that um part from my Central square cad to a hexagon cad those apis with our specific vendors would still be the Responsibility of the individual PSAP or agency that they would take care of those on their own It's just really the data conveyance. Is that network that you can run it across Yes, and the question that was asked of us yesterday at the long-range planning committee was um You know, what are you going to do if PSAP comes to the state and says hey, we really want to do this But our cad vendor wants to charge us x dollars to do that We can look at that on a case-by-case basis. It is an allowable expense under set and provided It isn't so big that we don't have the budgetary authority to do it But we wouldn't want to do it for every single PSAP We would want to work vendor by vendor to say look if we develop this are we you know We provide this functionality in monterey county And central square in x county You give it to them too. Don't come to don't come back to us Saying you've got to redevelop this api that you've already written something like that We might be able to have a conversation on but yes once it gets into this data conveyance space The state will with the permissions you establish Move the data around to wherever you want it moved That's the idea. Yeah Yeah, thanks chief white see your hands up Yes, thanks for sharing this and I know you guys have been supportive of bringing this to the uh, class advisory committee. Um What is the timeline when you would be open to looking at transporting this data across using the data conveyance side? There's an implementation timeline in the so w That admittedly is quite aggressive. I'm waiting to see the feedback I get on it But we would sign contracts and start work in july And then they would the vendor would give us a Have I think 90 days to give us a project deployment plan? And then we would work to build the interfaces in our lab over the next In the first 180 days of the first six months of the contract So that takes us all the way through into 2023 And then from there we would look to see where we're at If we could then support initial deployments at PSAPs that are at that point So this is this time next year before we're even anywhere close to Being at a place where we say, okay, the system's up. It's tested. It's vetted and we have a couple integrations with CAD vendors We will look to purchase a couple of positions of CAD in our lab To facilitate that interface so that we don't bug the PSAP But at some point we'll need to have somebody who's willing to Work with us on an early deployment of this and that would be a little over a year from now Thank you That's prior to any feedback we've received from vendors. So they may look at this and say, wait a minute This is a bunch timeline. You got to make some adjustments here All right rosa This data sharing services portal is this in lieu of a shared cloud cpe cat to cat type of thing Yes, because if it for cpe Calls can be transferred one from another we've we've baked that into the system Once you have cloud cpe We wrote the requirement in that contract that they have to be able to Interface with an api that that we defined So if you've got cloud cpe you wouldn't need the portal at all because anything in the portal Hypothetically we'd have to work on this but it's supposed to be available in the cloud cpe Yes, but if you don't have cloud and you don't have a newer CAD and you're looking for somewhere to share the data This is it Thank you. Yeah okay all right more to come on this and Appreciate your feedback And if you don't have time to go read the rfps or the solicitations Just send in your comments direct and if we've already address that in the technical requirements Then we'll we'll know we've taken the action you need So in other words, don't let time be the barrier to you submitting feedback. We absolutely want your feedback Okay This slide is about ps alley. We had it in the last advisory board I'm not going to brief it if you have any ps alley customers in your county or in your dispatch area Please push this information to them So we can establish a process for them to continue to receive their updates in next gen nine one The last couple of slides have not changed. We're nearing the end of our budget year I can tell you we're very healthy in terms of our fund We have the revenue we need we have the appropriations we need And we're able to pay all the invoices which is really good news for us We did set our fee for calendar year 2023 at 30 cents, which is the same as it was last year and our Predictive model show that that's going to bring in the revenue that we need to do everything. We just talked about So we're in really good shape And that's really thanks to the members of this board and the hard work that you did a couple years ago To get this funding model in place and we really appreciate it. It's proven to be very successful All right, rosa your hands up still are you um just something that I see in your slide looks like you have your formula built into Your picture there just fyi Yeah, I put that in there so that um people would see how i'm doing my calculation. Okay All right, we got a lot of questions on how did you get that number and so We just went ahead and put it right in there So that people could see how we did our calculation I know it looks a little funky If you're an excel geek though, you're gonna be like, oh, I like that Okay, um and and that's it for my brief so uh, Mr. Chairman, I know that it was long That was but it was a very very thorough, but so thank you very much Uh and and a good report Um, do we have any, uh, I know that there was a lot of information covered there So if there's any of their alibis from the from the board Hearing none, do we have any questions from the public for mr. Okay hearing none We'll move on to next to gent item, which is the long range planning uh committee report and our chair Is going to provide information regarding the long range uh planning committee meeting and uh next gen 911 task force activities Actually, uh chris heron the chair cannot make it. So I was appointed to uh Brief out on the long range planning committee. So thank you leanne. I appreciate that and uh go ahead We um the long range planning committee had some very detailed discussions obviously on the data sharing system that Budge just reviewed. So that's why I had some follow-up questions And you know, it's definitely something that we um, it's a long time coming and there are some benefits, but um We also have a lot of questions about the um the portal piece And so that was a fleshed out. So hopefully um, some people can provide some details on that rfp We also discussed the data analytics rfp, which is our current provider of ecats and encouraged Users of the system to go ahead and provide high level input to make sure that um This rfp meets our needs in the piece um Both of those took that data sharing took quite a long time We also discussed the 988 technology requirements and we discussed some operational early items about 988 technology And and there's a lots of questions and we're we're working Through the nina working group for some best practice standards and then the state is working on getting the obviously the budget change proposal to Get the technology up and rolling um One of the things that the board spent some or the committee spent some time on was the recruiting and retention development study that We have asked To have looked at while um technology is moving with next generation 9 and 1 and data sharing That's great, but we also need to make sure that we have dispatchers In the centers to be able to manage that information. So We are looking at doing a study to help but before we can do that. We need to determine functional Requirements and the purpose and what the outcome of the study would be so The long-range planning committee is going to be um putting that together and we're going to have one of our special LRPC meetings on april 19th to discuss those studies and how to move forward Since we have this larger Group here, it's very important that when we roll out the study that all p-saps Really participate because this study is to help staff each and every one of our p-saps um, and then the regional working groups, um reported out They all had in-person meetings and I believe the meetings um were very well attended and detailed so it was good to see that um come back around and um that took about two and a half hours of our time and that's the report Uh, it's all great stuff. I'm looking forward to that as you develop those requirements and and then obviously the study will either validate the anecdotal information that we're hearing or Confer and so this is huge and so it's a great uh step to you know address this methodically and deliberately Um, so that we can move forward on that initiative So thank you. Um, and I appreciate all the efforts on the long-range planning committee side uh for that Do we have any other questions from the board or uh future items that we wish the the planning committee to add to To look into Okay, do we have any questions from I'm sorry chief white go ahead chief and so I'm not sure the timing on this but um, I was contacted by some agencies that the california police chief's training symposium sort of talking about the challenges with Retention and looking at alternatives to cover shifts and working with other agencies I'm not sure to add more complexity But maybe down the road it might be good to sort of review what options exist out there Maybe with next gen 9-1-1 in terms of you know, one agency covering another Obviously a lot has changed from the old days of flipping the switches or will change when it goes in so just a f y I think it's uh It's a great point and uh, obviously with technology changes For call answering opportunities to leverage, uh, so much other Interaction and interface between neighboring uh, obviously at the answering points and how They want to do business really it's a game changer for us. So I think it's it's great and it's going to require some Open minds to consider, you know opportunities that will exist out there, so Thank you Any questions from the public? All right. Thank you Next action item is appointments to the long-range planning committee So we're here to review current appointments to the lrpc and appoint new members and a new chair as necessary And so the board has been provided a current list of the lrpc members And so I guess the question is is there any discussion from the board? Uh regarding this I believe um what the lrpc still Could have a representative from the state sheriffs association And so we would encourage a representative to be added to the board if one became available Okay, midi keeps saying board and we do at this point time. We just still do not have a state sheriffs representative Okay, thank you. I'm getting a vertical head nod here next to me. So Um, thank you. All right, we'll open that and we'll continue to work that piece um All right Chief white your hands still up on my screen anyway. I just want to make sure you didn't have a comment Okay, it's down Just like that Okay, uh, go ahead well So I believe from the last meeting sheriff brawn Was going to take back to csa We discussed um getting a sheriff's representative on lrpc She may have had to step away because I don't do see her. Um, yeah, I think she had to step away So we'll add that on the follow-up list and we'll follow up with the chief, uh, excuse me sheriff brawn All right I'm moving next to a jet item, which is a next generation 911 alert and warning Uh, the 911 branch is going to provide an update on ng 911 alert and warning system the migration plan and the use of ng 911 Other morning system, so So, uh, there's been a lot of discussion about this over the last few months Cal OES hosts what what are called mutual aid Uh, region planning committees um and those committees meet we've talked about this in those forums Our prime vendor autos that is our statewide vendor They had a subcontractor identified for this work. We started down that path And looking at the technical requirements the complexity the needs of the state The statement of work and the technical requirements They petitioned the state and asked if if we would be willing to allow them to change their subcontractor out Uh, to rave mobile safety We did an analysis of that solution And we did approve that transition So what that means is the work that any alerting authority or PSAP or sheriff or anybody out there that's been Working with um on my team michael elder is the project manager for this Uh, if you want to reach out to earl cook, he's the project manager at autos that is coordinating this For those that will be at calmena rave will be there And they're they're going to be available to talk to you directly working with autos And we will begin the transition Of uh alerting authorities to whatever you're using locally This is not an existing state contract that you're on it would be some local contract To this solution beginning in march Believe it or not. Um, they they want to move quickly and We did contact the state of iowa who is using them As a statewide solution. I also talked to new orleans And those of you who ever been familiar with new orleans. They certainly have their share of disasters Um, and so we did vet this solution through those different partners as well as others And that's where we are Details are going to follow. Literally this news Was shared with us not long ago and we were able to make it public as of yesterday Which is why we don't have a migration plan in front of you today But we are working toward this. We know fire season is coming Michael elder has a list of those agencies that are really In desperate need of this kind of solution And again, uh, Earl cook is the main point of contact at autos that will be rolling this out There's no requirement on a local agency making this transition But but we're hoping that this solution is robust enough that it meets your needs And that you'll be able to leverage all the data that's available in next gen nine and one To do your alerting. So that's a quick snapshot of an update and i'll pause there for questions chief way So, um, just to be clear then everbridge is no longer the the sub That is correct. Yes Okay, um So, I mean, I guess I just re-voiced the concerns before I look forward to Discussion on how migration will work because They've indicated that for the nixle customers at most of them. They own the data So i'm not sure how we're going to get the data out. Um, so certainly a barrier for some agencies trying to migrate um The other question would be you have in there the use of the The next gen nine one one and alert and warning one question that Some agencies have asked as far as migrating is, you know, currently we use it for a lot of stuff Not just necessarily emergencies have as the state discussed what limitations would exist on usage of this system Yes, and excruciating details. So, okay um, we uh an I pause so that's wireless emergency alerts and I pause Which is includes the emergency Um, alerting a system available through broadcaster. That's all included public safety messaging All included across all platforms voice text Email all all the ways that you want to send messages Local alerts, you know, hey, we're having a meeting here. What about this? What about that? That is supported unlimited but not in text message because text message Requirements changed at the FCC level Um, and there's a limit on how many text sessions you can send but All other formats unlimited and included with the solution And there's a lot more detail buried behind that but we did ask that question and um, you know, we we really work through that one in a lot of detail Thank you Uh, Leanne your hands up Um, so so two quick questions. Probably not quick questions, but um, so if you were on everbridge on the state version of everbridge There is no Because there's it's a subcontractor. There is there any transition time? Or is it going to be expected to you know flip a switch to rave and and you you you go live? There'll be no overlap So The overlap should be minimal. Um, I I can't comment on What autos is doing with their subcontractor relationship, but from the state's perspective? You know, we pay autos and so Autos is who our services with The details of the transition leanne. Let's link up with earl cook and he can walk you through that Okay, and then um Just one other question because um to chief whites point this whole nixle thing is it was Is creating a lot of consternation with with local agencies and I hear you say that rave has local alerts But it will not support text messaging or we would have to sign an additional contract with them to pay for those messages so there's uh There's probably about a 15 minute explanation behind that and i'm not going to answer that question right now because It will be taken out of context and I want to be careful. Okay, but local alerting is supported in the platform In a variety of different ways And there are good reasons why you don't want to use text messaging for that purpose I um, it would be a helpful in the future Maybe not a you know advisory board meeting but to educate because obviously um our local oes offices Have a have a great understanding of wanting to use text messaging to Um communicate with the public and obviously there are more details now and Consequences to using it. So I think there needs to be a bit of a paradigm shift With how we communicate with the public so completely understand that appreciate that the state is offering Alert and warning at no cost, but you know all these little pieces are the devils in the details Yep, and we'll get into the details in separate meeting as we move into the transition But yes, the capability is there in the system And it's not separated out which um was was a challenge before Thank you Yeah, probably the biggest barrier is the one that chief white mentioned If you have local data and you can't extract it from your system that That data extraction is under a contract we the state don't manage If you can get the data, we absolutely will push it up into the system We have that ability and that is an absolute requirement. So if you can get the data We can use it. Uh, let's see chief Ramirez I just want to reiterate the same concerns that I've heard here that The transition we're going to lose users in the transition And if there's any way to work through that process that we don't So many of the local jurisdictions and I imagine this is statewide have worked really diligently to have those contacts placed in the system And it's gained credibility Now to where people can rely on it And I'm afraid that that will be diminished in this transition Yeah Thanks chief Ramirez. So that is one of the main things we talked about was the messaging plan and Just so that you think we're not throwing out the the baby with the bath water Even in the other transition, there was still going to be this need to sort of re-sign up Even if you were an existing user. So the the transition is very similar Regardless of which Subcontractor was chosen and we've been working with autos to to tell them that look your messaging plan It's going to be critical as you get the word out on this But I had a quick follow-up quite actually two follow-up questions Under the new agreement Is the state going to own the data so we don't run down this path again? Because obviously technology will change and at some point there might be some other new technology I I know the data is owned by us, but You know, it's it's your data. It's not the vendor's data. So you won't run into this problem in the future We absolutely wrote that in as a requirement And the second thing is you mentioned about a lot of discussions with the we is there any It seems like there's obviously significant statewide concern. Um, is there like a smaller working group? That's dealing with these or raising the questions. I know A lot of agencies I think you're hearing it Spent a lot of effort here and to make sure that their experiences don't get lost and that We do it sort of seamlessly for those who choose to join Yes, we have several different opportunities for you to interact with Other alerting authorities in the state There's the sems the state emergency management system user group And the technical subcommittee of that group and they address this issue from a policy and best practices perspective And then we formed a user group to focus on the technology and the transition Michael elder is leading that effort up with earl cook from autops So if you want to talk technology transition Migration plan it's earl and michael if you want to talk best practices operational use Um and and and guiding that policy. Let us know we'll link you up at the sems Um technical uh subgroup that's addressing alert morning Please all right. Thank you budge Um And we'll continue to monitor this issue and we'll we'll keep it on the agenda as we work through this section item Okay, uh next uh action for us is the agenda items for future meetings With that, I know that the next scheduled 911 advisory board meeting is scheduled for may 18th Um, that will be an in-person meeting. So you'll need to plan for your travel accordingly on that I know that uh, please check your calendars because I think uh, uh, sofia has already sent out all of your Uh, invites to you. So if you'll just confirm your attendance and and so we can plan accordingly on our end and then As we look towards this upcoming meeting in may I guess I would ask Again, what additional topics that you'd like to hear on that meeting? We've already talked about nine eight eight. So we're going to add that Uh into the next meeting and we'll provide an update then for that and then Any other items that we wish to Look at or go over in detail I think it might be good to add alert and warning as a separate item to hear about that transition That that may be taking place Between now and our next meeting You've got it. Thank you, land Anyone else? Okay If you think of something after the close of this meeting just send that information to paul and we'll push it out And we will look to add that on As an action item for us. We do have other Agendas and items, you know, we have the conference here in california for nina. We have Next gen 9-1-1 goes to washington some initiatives on the federal side So some things may come out of that and if those come together We'll look to add those to The next agenda meeting for us and bring those to the board's attention With that, I know I've opened it up a few times for public comment, but on different items paul is there any Request for public comment that we have I am not seeing any hands raised in the window. We did have Chat that came through from michael depredo Michael can you please voice your question? And michael if you can hear us, I don't know if you're on mute, but we'd love to hear what your question or comment is The question that was sent in the chat was how would the public be transitioned from our alert and warning page? For signing up and wouldn't they have to sign back up to make changes to their data? I understand if this is still being worked out. This is in regards to That'll be addressed in the public messaging that autos works on With rave and the migration plan about how that messaging is done We did talk through that kind of at a high level at what that would look like So we are addressing that and those details will be shared As we begin to roll out alerting authorities and after we gather more information from locals on What their needs are locally? So that is definitely part of the work that michael and url are going to be doing Any other public comment? I'm not seeing any other hands raised. Okay Thank you paul and thank you to the membership for your time and those that are observing the Meeting richard ray dad's his hand up Just saw it come up Mr. Ray We can see you richard.
