(F-4) Amendments to Cabarrus County Emergency Operations Plan Mr. Mike Downs, Public Safety Services Director, presented the revised Cabarrus County Emergency Operations Plan. He stated the main revisions involved the following areas: (1) Reorganization of County departments, including new job titles and responsibilities; (2) Designation of the Cabarrus County Senior Center as a Special Needs Shelter; (3) Creation of the County's Special Hazard Response Team and its responsibilities; and (4) Establishment of local threat condition levels that follow the Federal Homeland Security Advisory System. There was discussion regarding the designation of the Senior Center as a Special Needs Shelter and the need for another such shelter in the Kannapolis area. The Board also discussed issues associated with communications among the sheriff, fire and police agencies. Mr. Downs reported that there are currently three separate 911 centers (Sheriff's Department, City of Concord, City of Kannapolis) operating in Cabarrus County. He suggested the consolidation of the three centers into one center with a board consisting of representatives from each responding agency to oversee the communications system. Mr. Downs also advised that the City of Concord currently maintains and services the communication system and radios for the various emergency agencies in the county. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by Commissioner Prlvette and unanimously carried, the Board agreed to form a committee to look at the possible consolidation of the three 911 centers into one center.
