A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO IMPLEMENTA-
TION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED
IN THE "PAGE COMMUNICATION PLAN".
WHEREAS, the Division of Communications of the State Depart-
ment of General Services has, pursuant to Florida Statutes Section
287.29, caused to be prepared the "Page Communication Plan" which
would, if implemented, completely reorganize the present system of
law enforcement communications utilized by all municipalities in
Palm Beach County; and
WHEREAS, the said plan would establish four regional communi-
cations centers to serve all of Palm Beach County; and
WHEREAS, the plan calls for the City of Delray Beach to be
served by a communications center to be located outside the corpo-
rate limits of the City; and
WHEREAS, the anticipated additional cost of the operation of
said plan has not been justified to the Delray Beach City Council;
and
WHEREAS, it is the judgment of the Delray Beach City Council
that placing the operation of the communications system under the
control of others as set forth by the plan would result in law en-
forcement service inferior to that presently enjoyed by the citi-
zens of Delray Beach;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH:
Section 1. That the City of Delray Beach hereby expresses
its firm opposition to implementation of the presently proposed
"Page Communication Plan" in Palm Beach County.

Division of Communications of the Department of General Services
of the State of Florida, the Governor, the Florida League of Cities,

Enforcement, and all members of the Palm Beach County Legislative
Delegation.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City of Delray Beach, State of
