A
Warm
yet
so
we'll
wait
on
a
couple
more
members,
but
we
can
do
a
lot
of
house
cleaning
before
we
before
we
go
straight
to
bills
and
have
to
vote
on
some
of
those
we
want
to
welcome
everyone.
This
is
the
first
meeting
of
2023
for
veterans,
military
Affairs
and
public
protections.
We're
so
glad
y'all
are
here
and
a
good
packed
house
there,
and
it's
probably
because
we've
got
some
great
legislation
coming
down
the
the
pipeline
here.
A
Oh,
we
got
a
quorum
all
right
this
next
we're
gonna
stand
and
do
the
pledge,
but
please
remain
standard
and
I've
asked
a
representative
Johnson
to
lead
us
in
prayer.
Also.
C
Bear
with
me
in
prayer,
please,
dear
father,
we
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
that
you've
given
us
today.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
together.
We
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
our
fellow
man
to
serve
our
kentuckians.
We
pray
that
you
guide
us
in
all.
We
do.
We
pray
that
you'll
also
lead
and
protect
us
as
we
do
your
work,
it's
in
Jesus
name,
we
pray,
amen.
A
We
appreciate
you
sitting
in
and
and
listening
and
watching
in
on
this
presentation,
and
we
encourage
more
schools
to
do
this,
especially
if
you
have
ROTC
or
something
along
at
your
school
we'd
love
to
have
you
sit
in
on
some
of
our
committee
meets
with
us,
so
just
wanted
to
give
out
a
shout
out
to
Fort
Campbell
High
School
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
honor
one
of
our
our
members
here,
a
distinguished
vet
and,
let's
see
I
believe
that
is
a
representative
macaroni's.
Is
that
your
vet?
D
D
He
has
worked
many
endless
hours
to
bring
this
park
to
her
community
he's
also
a
board
member
of
Museum
Row,
the
Civil
War,
and
how
Moore
family
museum
vice
president
of
the
Nelson
County
Chamber
of
Commerce
has
coached
little
league
and
is
an
active
member
of
his
church
and
the
Knights
of
Columbus
I
could
go
on
the
whole
committee
meeting
about
all
the
things
that
Jerry
has
done,
but
it's
an
absolute
privilege
to
have
him
and
Kenny
Fogle
here
with
us
today.
So
thank
you.
Jerry.
A
If
you
would,
why
don't
you
step
up
to
the
center
table
there
and
and
if
you
want
just
yes,
sir
and
wherever
you
want
to
sit-
and
please
just
tell
you-
know
us
about
yourself
about
maybe
four
or
five
minutes
or
something
like
that,
make
sure
on
that
push
the
button
and
make
sure
it's
the
light
turns
green
there
there's
a
right
at
the
base
there
there
you
go.
Did
it
turn
green.
E
Yes,
sir,
there
you
go
the
floor.
Is
yours,
okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
candy
for
having
me
today
and
I.
I,
really
I
wasn't
really
sure
what
was
going
on
I
just
thought.
Maybe
I
would
sit
in
on
some
of
the
military
Affairs
business
here
today
in
Frankfurt,
but
we
initiated
about
a
year
ago
we
have
a
very
small
Park
in
Bardstown.
It's
on
East
Broadway,
really,
there's
no
parking,
no
and
hardly
standing
room
when
we
have
any
types
of
Ceremonies
and
so
forth.
E
So
anyway,
we
initiated
and
started
about
a
year
ago,
and
we
had
a
groundbreaking
ceremony
for
a
new
Veterans
Park
that
we've
released
1.2
Acres
of
ground
outside
right
outside
the
city
from
the
county,
and
we
had
a
groundbreaking
Veterans,
Day,
November
11th,
and
we
have
plans
and
we're
going
to
build
a
pretty
nice
park
there,
with
30
by
60
Pavilion
with
monuments
and
we'll
honor,
all
veterans
and
all
military.
All
wars
are
in.
E
Our
Park
will
also
it'll
be
a
community
park
as
as
well
as
a
Veterans
Park
in
that
we'll
have
digital
Wi-Fi
there
to
where
there
will
be
history
for
anyone
to
come
in
and
they'll
have
the
technology
there
to
visit
parks
and
also
I
mean
The
Monuments,
but
there
will
be
digital
Wi-Fi
there
that
would
have
histories
of
all
the
wars
that
we've
had.
E
So
if
School
teachers
wanted
to
come
in
and
have
classes
there,
they
could
also
do
that
and
teach
class
there
and
bring
some
of
our
people
up
to
date
on
some
of
the
military
history
in
Bardstown,
Nelson
County
and
we
we
have
been
very
well
representative.
We
have
one
of
the
highest
losses
per
capita
in
the
United
States
of
America
in
in
Nelson
County,
which
a
lot
of
people
I
know
do
not
realize
and
know
a
thing.
E
But
anyway
it's
going
to
be
an
educational
for
military
Affairs
and
also
it'll,
be
a
community
park
too.
So
we've
had
good,
very
good
response
and
from
all
areas,
so
we're
getting
ready
to
start
work
here
in
in
the
next
month
or
so
so.
A
Well,
thank
you.
So
much.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions?
Real,
quick
for
distinguish
that
if
not
representative
massaroni
wait,
here's
here's
the
thing!
Let's
see,
if
Brian
can
oh
wait,
we
got
our
photographer
come
around
this
side,
so
we're
in
the
background,
got
to
get
the
rookies
kind
of
broken
in
here
on
this
so
come
around
and
she
has
just
a
small
presentation
on
behalf
of
veterans.
Military
affairs.
A
Okay,
all
right,
let's
see
now
we
got
now
I'm
getting
ready
to
turn
the
microphone
over
to
11
different
state
reps,
because
we
want
to
welcome
all
of
our
our
new
reps
on
this
committee.
Everyone
heard
what
a
great
committee
this
was
and.
A
Just
lobbied
to
be
here
and
be
on
it,
so
I've
mentioned
to
everyone
just
to
take
a
brief
moment
notice.
The
brief,
because
we
have
a
pretty
long
agenda
here
to
just
kind
of
say:
maybe
why
you're
on
it
or
or
why
you're
excited
about
it
or
or
whatever
on
that.
So
we'll
start
from
my
bottom
of
the
list:
Miss
Sarah
stalker!
If
you
would
go
ahead
and
go
cut,
you
off
guard
you're
not
used
to
being
an
S
and
being
at
first.
G
I'm
never
used
to
going
first,
but
thank
you
good
morning,
I'm
representative
Sarah
stalker
I
selected
to
sit
on
this
committee
or
requested
on
this
committee,
because
my
father
was
a
Vietnam
and
I've
had
several
other
folks.
Friends
and
family
members
serve
throughout
different
areas
and
I
feel
like
it's
important
to
support
our
veterans
and
think
about
what
public
protection
at
large
really
looks
like
and
thinking
about
that
from
a
you
know,
from
from
lots
of
different
perspectives.
So
thanks
so
much
wonderful.
H
I'm
representative
Rebecca
Reimer
I,
did
put
this
committee
down
as
one
of
my
top
picks
when
I
was
choosing
I,
have
a
deep
respect
for
the
men
and
women
who
serve
our
country
to
keep
us
safe
and
I.
Think
it's
important
that
we
Lobby
and
protect
and
stand
up
for
them.
So
I'm
very
happy
to
be
on
this
committee.
A
I
I'm
representative
Marianne
Proctor
I
do
selected
this
committee
because
of
my
deep
affection
for
the
military.
I
worked
with
military
as
a
speech
pathologist
for
a
couple
years
of
project
Victory
helping
our
veterans
come
back
from
Iraq
and
Afghanistan,
who
had
suffered
traumatic,
brain
injury,
to
rehabilitate
them
and
integrate
back
into
society.
So
it's
very
special
to
my
heart
and
I'm
glad
to
serve
on
this
committee.
D
E
J
Chose
this
because
I
come
from
a
long
history
of
veterans,
both
my
grandfather
served
in
World,
War
II.
My
uncle
died
in
the
Vietnam
War,
my
father
served
in
Korea.
My
husband
is
also
an
army.
Veteran
and
I
am
by
trade,
a
family
law
attorney.
So
what
I
see
coming
through
my
office?
A
lot
of
times
are
the
veterans
or
their
spouses
and
when
I
work
with
them,
I,
don't
know
that
necessarily
sometimes
we're
there
to
support
them
with
reintegration
back
into
our
society,
with
Workforce
or
with
their
family.
K
Oh
thank
you
chair.
My
name
is
representative
bratcher
and
I
am
from
Elizabethtown
I've
served
in
the
Air
Force
and
I
currently
continue
to
serve
in
the
Air
National
Guard
I've
been
on
numerous
deployments
and
I
think
I
understand
some
of
the
challenges
that
veterans
face
and
also
my
undergraduate
degrees
police
Administration.
So
we
incorporate
that
incorporate
that
as
well.
So
it's
my
privilege
to
be
able
to
serve
on
this
committee.
A
C
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
DJ
Johnson
from
the
13th
District
Davis
County
in
Owensboro
area
and
start
off
with
them
11
year,
army
veterans.
So
this
is
a
pretty
good
place
for
me
to
be
I'm.
Actually,
returning
to
this
committee
from
I
took
a
break.
C
I
felt
like
I
needed
to
go
out
and
get
some
additional
experiences
in
some
of
the
other
committees,
but
two
of
my
favorite
groups
to
work
with
back
home
and
anywhere
is
military
veterans,
and
then
our
law
enforcers
and
public
servants,
so
I
went
away
for
a
while,
but
I
couldn't
stand
it.
This
is
home
and
I.
Thank
the
chairman
for
allowing
me
to
come
back
to
the
committee.
A
All
right:
well,
those
are
our
new
members
and
including
Tina
bojanowski
I
know
that
she's
not
here
so
we're
next
meeting
or
even
if
she
comes
in
a
little
bit
here,
we'll
catch
her
too.
All
right
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
straight
into
our
agenda.
You
see
it's
kind
of
lengthy
today
and
it'll,
probably
start
slowing
down
as
session
goes
on
or
picking
up,
I
guess,
representative
Bray,
you
ready,
you
got
a
distinguished
little
guest
with
you
if
you
want
to
go
down
and
introduce
her
too.
L
Oh,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman
Josh,
Bray
from
house
district,
71
and
I
do
have
a
special
guest
with
me
today.
My
daughter
Isla.
She
is
with
me
on
Valentine's
Day.
We've
made
sort
of
a
tradition,
every
Valentine's
Day.
She
gets
up
here
with
me
and
it's
quickly
turned
into
her
favorite
holiday
short
of
Christmas.
So
if
you
can
compete
with
Christmas,
you've
done
a
pretty
good
job
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
house
bill
153..
This
was
a
bill
that
came
through
your
committee
last
session
as
House
Bill
29.
L
It
passed
on
the
house
floor
with
77
votes.
In
short,
what
it
does
is.
It
prohibits
local
law
enforcement
from
using
tax
dollars
to
implement
a
federal
firearms
ban,
ammunition
ban
and
why
this
is
important.
Now
you
know,
especially
more
than
ever
is
recently
within
the
past
month.
The
federal
ATF
has
made
a
ruling
on
pistol
braces
that
they've
determined
that
now
all
of
the
sudden,
these
these
popular
firearm
accessories
are
illegal.
So
they've,
given
a
lot
of
kentuckians
like
myself,
the
option
of
either
registering
your
firearm
or
destroying
your
firearm.
L
Now
this
isn't.
This
was
all
done
without
a
single
vote.
It
was
simply
the
they've
reinterpreted
an
existing
law.
It
was
fined
under
the
Obama
Administration.
It
was
fined
under
the
Trump
Administration,
but
now
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
an
issue,
and
so
what
what
this
does
is?
It
declares
Kentucky
a
sanctuary,
a
second
amendment,
Sanctuary
State
and
it
like
I,
said
it
ensures
that
our
local
tax
dollars
won't
be
going
to
enforce
Second
Amendment
issues
that
the
federal
government
deems
to
be
inappropriate.
A
L
A
You
can
tell
a
seasoned
veteran
just
stopped
talking
there,
all
right,
we
do
have
at
least
we
got
one
question
representative
Maddox.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
representative
Ray
I,
really
appreciate
you
bringing
this
bill.
A
lot
of
folks
across
the
Commonwealth
have
reached
out
looking
for
legislation
like
this
and
I.
Just
have
one
question.
You
answered
one
of
my
questions
already,
which
I
really
appreciate
it
was
in
reference
to
Pistol
braces,
but
I
just
was
curious
in
terms
of
section
1B.
In
the
same
way,
you
know,
would
this
prohibit
restrictions
that
are
being
pushed
by
the
ATF
in
the
future.
Anything
in
terms
of
what
is
often
erroneously
referred
to
by
some
as
assault
weapons.
L
Yeah
I
mean
anything's
on
the
table.
We
added
you
know
originally.
Last
year
there
wasn't
a
criminal
component
to
it
and
then
you
you
place
the
floor
Amendment
on
there
and
we
felt
it
was
appropriate
to
keep
that
on
there.
So
so
that
stayed
on
there.
So
yeah
anything's
on
the
table
that.
A
Representative
Maddox
work
with
them,
some
we've
been.
Hopefully
we
can
try
to
get
everything
as
clean
as
possible
out
of
committee
and
not
have
a
lot
of
floor
amendments,
but
it
might
be
some
catching
the
senate
or
something
like
that
too.
So
all
right,
any
other
members
have
any
questions
or
comments.
Everyone
good
ready
to
vote
Mr
secretary,
please
call
Bro.
K
J
L
I
O
A
P
A
So
you
we
will
look
forward
to
hearing
that
on
the
floor
and
we
appreciate
your
testimony
on
it
and
appreciate
you
bringing
your
lovely
daughter
there.
So
thank.
A
All
right
so
that
one
does
pass.
Let's
go
ahead
kind
of
we
got
one
more
person
next
door,
she'll
come
through
the
trap
door
when
we
call
her,
but
we'll
we'll
give
her
some
more
time
there.
Let's
see
representative
bratcher,
you
ready
to
do
it
again.
I
think
you've
already
presented
an
education.
Now
you
presenting
here
busy
day
for
this
young
man.
A
K
Thank
you
chairman.
We
are
here
on
House,
Bill
63,
basically,
an
act
relating
to
the
military
to
and
it's
supported
by
Department
of
military
Affairs,
as
well
as
the
National
Guard
so
and
I'm
going
to
let
the
general
Bullard
discuss
some
of
the
details
of
the
bill.
Well,.
Q
I'll
be
very
quick.
First
Steve
and
I
served
together
in
the
Air
Force
for
a
long
time
and
great
to
see
him
on
the
committee
and
welcome
to
all
the
new
committee
members
glad
to
have
you
here
just
very
quickly.
First,
this
is
an
Omnibus
Bill.
It's
a
cleanup,
Bill,
two
technical
Corrections.
First
making
it
you
know
eliminating
the
gender
preference
for
males
on
the
veterans
bonus
by
adding
or
her
also
for
fixing
a
citation
correction
in
the
military
Interstate.
Children's
compact
commission
interstate
compact
on
Military
children.
Q
They,
when
the
bill
was
initially
passed
by
all
50
states.
Q
This
is
one
of
only
eight
compacts,
all
50
states
or
members
of
they
inadvertently
referred
to
one
area
of
federal
laws,
a
section
versus
a
chapter
we're
correcting
that,
because
technically
a
judge
could
throw
out
a
case
if
it
went
into
court
on
technicality
we've
actually
over
the
50
States
since
20
2007
never
had
a
case
go
to
court,
so
that's
great,
and
then
we
also
would
like
to
add
the
National
Guard
to
reserve
to
the
protections
of
the
Compact,
and
there
is
a
need
for
that
because
they
do
move
for
military
service.
Q
For
example,
in
the
Kentucky
National
Guard,
you
could
have
a
full-time
Guardsman
at
the
Wendell
Ford
training
site
and
they
could
move
to
Ashland
they'll
do
do
a
reassignment
to
the
206
Engineers
that
sort
of
thing
it's
no
cost.
We
would
advocate
for
them
anyway.
This
just
gets
them
the
law
into
the
law.
It
was
requested
by
the
chairman
of
the
Joint
Chiefs
and
we
would
love
to
to
add
them
in
and
then.
Lastly,
we
need
to
add
U.S
space
force
to
the
definition
of
military
services
in
Kentucky.
This
is
important.
Q
Space
force
is
brand
new.
They
do
not
have
any
assets
in
Kentucky,
but
they
will
have
retirees
who
came
to
them
from
the
other
services
who
will
be
retiring
as
space
force
retirees
and
they
need
to
be
part
of
our
definition
of
the
law
and
KRS
40.400
in
order
for
them
to
qualify
for
State
veterans
benefits.
Subject
to
your
questions.
B
S
B
G
G
B
O
A
A
Awesome
well,
thank
you.
You
got
one
that
be
ready.
You
still
got
to
present
it
on
the
floor
and
you
don't
get
General
biller's
help.
So
thank.
K
Q
Thomas
I
would
also
like
to
add
one
more
thing
too.
I
want
to
thank
commissioner
Jason
glass
of
the
Kentucky
Department
of
Education
for
their
stall
work,
support
of
this
initiative.
They
have
been
fantastic
partners.
A
A
Thank
you
all.
We
appreciate
you
all
being
here
and
appreciate
all
both
of
y'all's
work.
There
I
was
told
that
HP
yeah
I'm
trying
to
use
them
as
a
segue
to
the
next
one,
but
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
up
I
believe
we
have
two
presenters
for
HB
28
representative.
This
is
representative
Frazier's
bill.
Would,
ladies,
would
you
all
mind
talking
about
it
and
representative
Frazier
Gordon
will
come
over
as
soon
as
he
can
there.
A
If
you
would
please
introduce
yourselves
and
and
make
sure
those
green
lights
are
on
there's
a
little
button
right.
There.
T
Okay,
this
is
a
surprise.
My
name
is
Sharon
Graves
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Madison
County
Historical
Society
and
I'm
Donna
Kavanaugh.
A
All
righty,
if
y'all
I
hope
you
all
were
ready
to
talk
about
it
a
little
bit.
This
is
for
our
Tuskegee
Airmen,
but
please
talk
more
because
we
always
want
to
hear
about
those
fine
Fighters.
T
Discovered
in
Madison
key
have
seven
Tuskegee
Airmen
that
either
graduated
from
or
went
to
Richmond
High
School,
which
was
a
colored
high
school
and
they
went
on
to
perform
in
the
Tuskegee
Airmen
program.
We
have
a
mural
on
the
side
of
the
Madison
County
Library
of
one
of
those
Tuskegee
Airmen.
First
lieutenant
Frank,
D,
Walker
and
people
don't
know
who
that
is.
So.
P
This
is
important
to
Madison
County
and
to
everyone,
because
there's
over
a
thousand
testigi
Airmen
that
are
out
there,
most
of
them
are
deceased.
Now,
there's
a
few
few
still
living,
but
it
represents
a
core
of
Airmen
that
did
a
very
exemplary
job
during
World
War
II,
they
helped
out
our
own
fighter,
all
the
other
Fighters
by
going
out
first,
and
they
were
very
distinguished
so
we're
asking
that
you
help
us
support
them
at
this
time.
A
A
Alrighty
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments
or
any
experiences
along
that
line
there.
So
if
not
we'll.
A
J
S
S
I
G
A
A
Awesome
that's
during
our
veto
period
anyway.
He'll
have
some
free
time
all
right.
So
at
this
time
we
are
going
to
move
on
to
our
second
to
well
our
last
bill,
but
our
we
have
a
presentation
after
that,
so
House
Bill,
157,
representative
heart.
N
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I'm
gonna
make
some
really
brief
introductions
and
to
the
Committees,
probably
relief.
We've
convinced
our
presentation
that
we
presented
to
you
guys
in
the
interim.
We
condensed
it
down
from
100,
slides
or
so
to
eight
so
you're
going
to
get
to.
A
N
N
Up
for
150
load,
but
let
me
make
some
introductions
here:
real
fast
to
my
far
left
is
Jeremy
slinker,
the
director
of
Kentucky
Emergency
Management,
then
next
to
him
is
Lieutenant
Doug
Hargraves,
who
is
one
of
my
subject
matter?
Experts
on
this
in
this
field
or
in
this
issue
on
to
my
direct
right,
is
Captain
Ron
hawkston
he's
also
a
subject
matter
expert.
Both
these
gentlemen
are
with
the
Lexington
fire
department
and
both
of
them
have
experience
in
this
realm
on
both
on
all
the
local,
State,
national
and
international
levels.
N
So
they've
brought
a
lot
of
wealth
of
information
and
expertise
to
this
and
then
to
my
far
right
is
Corey
Ann
Howard
Jackson.
She
is
the
military,
Affairs
liaison
and
congression
Military
Affairs,
legislative
and
Congressional
liaison.
So
with
their
help,
we've
all
put
together.
We've
refined
the
bill
draft.
That's
the
bill
that
you've
got
in
front
of
you
now
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Captain,
hogston
and
Lieutenant
Hargraves,
and
let
them
make
a
brief
presentation.
U
Thank
you
once
again
for
allowing
us
to
present
I'm
going
to
get
started
with
the
the
Kentucky's
Urban
search
and
rescue
initiative.
U
So
the
question
usually
is
what
is
urban
search
and
rescue
and
what
it
is
in
2022,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
slide,
Urban
search
and
rescue
is
a
type
of
technical
rescue
operation
that
involves
a
highly
trained
and
organized
teams.
These
teams
can
locate,
extricate
and
provide
initial
medical
stabilization
of
victims
trapped
in
urban
and
rural
areas
once
described,
as
mainly
a
team
of
structural
collapses
due
to
natural
disasters,
war,
terrorisms
or
accidents
teams
today
are
used
for
all
types
of
Hazards.
They
are
known
and
organized
as
all
hazards
team
that
follows
FEMA
guidelines.
U
One
thing
I'd
like
to
comment
on
this
is
the
word
Urban.
It
gets
thrown
around
a
lot.
The
word
for
this
is
comes
from
the
federal
side
from
FEMA
Urban
search
and
rescue,
which
means
basically,
it's
not
Wilderness
rescue.
It's
anything
else,
but
Wilderness
rescue
not
going
out
in
in
the
woods
searching
as
you
can
see
in
this
picture
here.
This
is
actually
from
Mayfield
in
last
December,
December
21
and
that's
the
picture
for
there.
V
V
Also,
structural
Hazard
evaluations
of
buildings
needed
for
immediate
occupancy
to
support
disaster
relief
operations
stabilize
and
damage
structures
include
ensuring
and
cribbing
operations
on
damaged
buildings,
hazardous
materials,
equipment,
push
packages
for
operations
in
the
contaminated
environment
and
then
also
search
and
rescue
operations
in
water
environments.
Again,
these
teams,
here
you
see
we're
in
bretha,
County,
Captain,
Hawks
and
myself
were
both
in
breath.
Okay
on
day
one,
and
we
were
our
teams
along
with
other
teams,
there
were
able
to
rescue
over
86
Personnel
or
excuse
me
86
people
on
just
day,
one
by
boats.
U
So
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
the
juice
a
little
bit
of
the
history
of
the
usar
in
Kentucky.
Obviously,
after
9
11,
we
started
getting
some
federal
funding
for
some
of
the
bigger
cities.
Louisville
Lexington
things
like
this
in
2010,
it
was
estimated
that
over
180
firefighters
have
received
this
highly
skilled
certification
of
urban
search
and
rescue
specialist
training.
U
These
firefighters
stretched
from
all
across
the
state.
These
include
cities
from
Paducah
to
Ashland
Louisville
to
Campbellsville
committee,
was
formed
then
in
2012
and
tried
for
five
years
to
make
this
a
much
needed,
Statewide
team,
a
reality,
First
Responders
traveled
to
connecting
States
to
join
their
federal
or
state
teams.
This
was
in
the
last
12
months.
Kentucky
has
had
two
historical
disasters:
the
largest
tornado
in
Kentucky's
history,
killing
80
in
a
Thousand-Year
flood,
killing
39.,
it's
something
we
want
to
comment
on
this
right
now.
U
So,
as
you
see
here
in
this
map,
state
and
federal
Urban
search
and
rescue
teams
in
the
in
this
country
in
the
United
States,
there
are
43
states
that
have
some
type
of
urban
search
and
rescue
team
within
the
within
their
state.
Boundaries,
as
you
can
see,
is
the
guideline
there.
The
we
have
different
teams
throughout
there.
As
you
can
see,
the
main
thing
is
Kentucky
is
highlighted
in
white,
or
it's
not
highlighted
at
all.
It's
the
only
team
in
that
area
that
has
no
State
sponsored
team
at
all.
U
Every
state
around
us
every
state
to
the
South
and
the
Southeastern
section.
The
United
States
has
some
type
of
team.
This
is
significant
for
a
couple
reasons.
One
is
if
a
big
disaster
happens
in
Kentucky
that
also
affects
Ohio
or
Missouri,
or
any
state
that
surrounds
us.
We
will
not
be
able
to
get
those
teams
from
those
states
to
come
and
help
our
state,
so
we
did
a
Capstone
in
2014,
a
Capstone
exercise
that
went
over
this.
U
The
big
earthquake
that
happened
in
the
Madrid
fault,
a
exercise
and
with
that
that
area
we
found
that
most
of
the
the
teams
that
would
be
activated
would
be
teams
from
other
states
and
Kentucky
would
be
left
without
without
a
team
to
to
come
and
help
our
own.
U
As
you
can
see
here,
we
have
several
teams
that
border
Kentucky
as
the
teams
located
here.
These
are
also
Federal
teams
in
the
in
the
that
border.
Us
Ohio,
Missouri,
Tennessee,
Indiana,
Virginia,
one
and
Virginia
two
and
these
teams
are
federally
funded,
but
they
all
also
operate
as
state
teams,
also
with
a
big
significance
of
Virginia
task
force,
one
who
is
over
in
Turkey
right
now,
as
USA
one
they're,
actually
sending
an
international
team
over
there
to
help
the
earthquakes
in
Turkey,
good.
V
So,
under
the
plan
we
would
have
two
task
force
teams,
one
in
the
Louisville
area
and
also
one
in
the
Central
Kentucky
area
with
those
those
are
your
larger
teams.
Those
positions
include:
rescue
personnel
has
material
technicians,
medical
staff,
including
doctors,
also
Structural
Engineers.
So
there
will
be
two
teams
that
we
under
the
plan
and
they
would
have
a
two-hour
response
times
and
that
covers
most
of
the
state.
V
With
that
also
we
looked
at
in
the
past
two
years
past
year
and
a
half
we've
also
had
a
lot
of
other
states
come
into
us
into
Kentucky
by
this
right
here
we
show
a
six
hour
window
and
also
an
eight-hour
window,
and
that
is
just
what
we
could
cover
helping
our
neighbors
also
also
one
of
the
plan.
We
would
have
10
Regional
teams.
V
We
looked
at
that
and
decided
that
in
Kentucky
there
are
10
em
regions,
and
one
of
the
things
we
addressed
was
that
we
can't
get
to
certain
parts
of
the
state
in
a
reasonable
time
with
that
we
would
want
to
have
Regional
teams,
and
these
are
going
to
be
your
smaller
teams.
N
U
Now
we
were
looking
the
other
day
just
to
get
a
cab
and
Chassis
for
a
new
truck
is
going
to
take
us
almost
400
days
just
to
get
a
new
cabin
chassis
for
any
type
of
truck.
A
new
fire
truck
has
taken
us
about
a
thousand
days
to
have
a
new
fire
truck
delivered
the
geographic
of
Kentucky.
All
those
things
were
put
in
to
to
come
up
this
cost.
This
cost
is
a
an
average
of
what
we
found
with
the
current
costs
that
we
could
do
year.
U
One
would
be
a
12
000,
almost
30
or
12
million,
almost
13
million
dollar
process
same
in
year,
two
and
then
year
three
through
ten
would
be
our
maintenance
years
to
keep
the
equipment
up.
Keep
the
training
up
through
those
years,
so
those
are
our
total
costs.
As
of
this
time
and
once
again,
we'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
come
and
speak
of
this,
it's
much
smaller
this
time.
W
Hey
good
morning,
chair
and
committee,
thanks
for
having
me
and
I
appreciate
my
esteemed
colleagues
and
their
professionalism
for
providing
a
good
foundation
and
a
good
starting
point
for
this
endeavor.
You
know
in
preparedness
which
is
part
of
Emergency
Management.
That's
one
of
our
you
know.
Primary
goals
is
to
be
prepared.
W
Often
you
have
to
speculate
on
your
needs
of
what
may
come
with
the
disaster,
but
what
I
would
point
out
here
in
our
two
most
recent
largest
ones
of
in
Kentucky's
history,
the
tornadoes
in
December
of
21
and
the
floods
of
22?
You
know
summer
of
22
each
one
of
those
four
Urban
search
and
rescue
teams
were
deployed.
Some
of
those
you've
seen
on
the
map,
Indiana,
Missouri,
Tennessee
and
Ohio.
So
I
think
at
this
time
we
don't
have
to
speculate
that
Urban,
search
and
rescue
would
be
useful
in
those
sides
of
disasters.
W
You
know
it.
The
the
two
unfortunately
have
shown
us
that
it's
needed
and
I
would
agree.
Currently
you
know
the
the
Kentucky
usar
Endeavor
has
been
there
for
a
decade
or
more
as
well.
You
know,
we've
talked
and
I've
caught
up
with
it
over
the
years
to
see
the
progress.
Funding
has
often
been
the
issue,
and
you
know,
and
that's
the
one
place
that
I'll
just
interject.
We
fully
support
the
Endeavor.
W
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
since
chapter
39,
F
particularly,
is
search
and
rescue
in
state
law,
so
it
would
make
only
since
to
place
it
under
the
existing
search
and
rescue,
because
that
is
one
things
that,
as
we
began
our
discussions
and
representative
Hart
mentioned
it
is
we
have
over
a
hundred
very
skilled,
highly
trained
local
search
and
rescue
teams
in
the
state
that
coordinate
through
Kentucky,
Emergency,
Management,
and
so
by
no
means
again.
We
want
to.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
communicating.
W
W
This
is
a
more
specialized
approach
for
those
biggest
and
most,
you
know
biggest
disasters
that
have
the
most
needs,
so
we
want
it
to
be
an
enhancement
if
this
can
move
forward
enhancement
to
those
local
teams
give
them
something
they
can
also
train
and
be
a
part
of
their
local
team,
as
well
as
maybe
Urban
search
and
rescue
team
and
as
well,
maybe
enhance
some
of
their
funding
opportunities
as
well,
and
that
would
be
what
I
would
ask
for
the
committee
to
take
in
consideration.
As
you
consider.
W
W
So
we
would
get
that
first
in
second,
in
which
we
don't
currently
have,
unless
we
call
them
Mutual
Aid,
like
has
happened,
they've
described,
they
went
down
as
Lexington
fire
department
and
we've
had
other
fire
departments
respond
under
mutual
aid,
but
that
puts
a
large
burden
on
those
departments,
as
their
skill
has
now
moved
out
of
their
areas
and
having
to
respond
to
another
area.
W
F
Sure,
good
morning,
everybody
I'll
be
very
brief.
Chairman
Thomas
has
trained
me
well,
no,
we
we
we've
all
worked
really
hard
on
together
as
a
team
collaboratively
on
this
piece
of
legislation
and
we're
supportive
of
it,
and
you
provide
the
funding
and
then
we'll
really
be
supportive
of
it.
Thank
you.
N
N
What
this
bill
does
it
creates
the
program
it
establishes
by
Statute
and
it
gives
Emergency
Management
the
opportunity
to
start
putting
things
in
place
and
doing
the
research
necessary
so
that
when
we
come
back
with
the
funding
bill,
we'll
have
more
definitive
costs
and
we
can
maybe
tell
tailor
it
down
to
where
it
might
not
be
as
much
as
what
we're
projecting
right.
Now.
With
that
we're
willing
to
entertain
any
questions.
N
A
Right
well,
we
appreciate
your
presentation-
and
it's
just
so
nice-
to
have
the
executive
branch
legislative
branch,
the
Guardsman,
all
working
together
to
support
and
help
our
citizens
of
Kentucky
I.
Just
that's
really
impressive.
I
know:
there's
been
numerous
meetings
because
I've
sat
in
quite
a
few
of
them
and
we
really
appreciate
y'all
y'all
being
here
and
doing
this.
We
do
have
some
questions
for
you,
though,
representative
bratcher.
K
Thank
you
all.
Thank
you
all
for
your
presentation
and
commitment
to
serve
if
we
could
go
back
to
the
other
slide
where
we
had
the
Kentucky
was
in
white
I.
Believe
I
just
had
a
question
concerning
the
National
Guard
I
know
that
National
Kentucky
in
both
the
flooding,
as
well
as
in
the
tornadoes
and
Ice
storms
and
other
things,
have
come
up.
K
U
So
the
National
Guard
is
is
a
big,
a
big
hand
in
in
many
states
right
and
we
use
them
as
a
force
multiplier
truly
in
in
Mayfield
and
something
like
the
Eastern
Kentucky
floods,
the
helicopters
back
to
Mayfield.
We
use
them
immensely
in
those
areas,
their
their
response
to
Mayfield
was
a
big
asset.
The
biggest
thing
that
we
use
them
for
at
that
time
was
more
of
a
security
aspect
at
that
time,
which
was
good.
U
They
did
work
on
on
the
on
the
piles
themselves,
but
they
were
there
for
security,
but
they
see
they
went
in
seamlessly
with
us
and
then
later
on.
In
those
Evolutions,
we
got
the
National
Guard
as
once
again
forced
multipliers,
because
when
you
can
get
100
people
that
are
all
on
the
same
page
and
listening
to
one
person,
you
can
get
a
lot
of
stuff
done.
U
So
when
we
got
that
established
through,
they
were
able
to
fall
in
into
the
urban
search
and
rescue
with
the
federal,
the
city
and
state
teams
that
we
had
responding
and
they
were
able
to
jump
in
and
I
can't
use
the
word
enough:
they're
huge
Force
multiplier.
So
yes,
they
would
be
involved
in
that
some
aspect.
N
W
So
concur
with
what
Captain
said,
and
that
is
part
of
what
representative
Hart
said
with
some
time
and
getting
it
initiated.
We
can
sit
down
and
kind
of
really
dig
into
the
details
more
about
what
assets
the
state
and
the
National
Guard
currently
have,
and
how
would
that
potentially
change
that
overall
cost
estimate
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
those
are
definitely
being
talked
about
just
would
need
the
time
to
really
sit
down
and
work
that
out,
and
there
has
been
some.
R
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
supportive
of
what
you're
all
trying
to
to
accomplish
here,
but
just
for
clarification
for
myself.
I
got
a
couple
questions.
When
you
talk
about
the
two
Urban
rescue
teams,
basically
they're
going
to
be
the
two
main
teams
in
the
state,
one
being
in
Louisville
and
I'm,
going
to
be
presumptive
here
and
say
the
other
one.
Probably
Lexington
are
those
two
teams:
will
they
be
full-time
teams
or
will
they
continue
to
be
members
of
the
the
units
within
the
city
of
Louisville?
R
That's
who
they're
getting
paid
by
and
let's
say
the
City
of
Lexington
for
argument's
sake,
or
would
they
become
employees
of
the
state.
U
Okay,
so
that's
a
great
question
and
we're
using
this
as
a
similar
to
other
department
or
other
states
that
have
done
I'm
a
member
of
Ohio
Task,
Force
One,
also,
which
is
one
of
the
federal
teams
and
I,
am
a
member
of
the
Lexington
fire
department.
Lexington
fire
department,
Ohio
task
force,
have
signed
a
memorandum
of
understanding
that
allows
me
to
respond
as
Ohio
tasks
Force,
so
I
still
get
paid
by
the
Lexington
fire
department.
U
They
still
pay
me,
but
when
I
get
put
on
the
deployment
type
through
the
federal
government,
the
Lexington
fire
department
gets
reimbursed
for
me.
So
I
am
a
member
of
the
Lexington
fire
department
being
used
by
Ohio
task
force.
So
that's
how
that
was
that's
what
we've
modeled
this
after
and
that
would
be
similar
there.
So,
yes
to
answer
your
questions,
firefighters
in
Louisville,
Lexington,
Ashland,
Campbellsville,
Bowling
Green,
wherever
they
were,
they
would
still
be
members
of
those
fire
departments,
and
we
were
do
this
as
an
auxiliary
type
team.
Very.
R
Good
follow-up
question
and
in
dealing
with
the
10
Regional
teams,
who
will
be
responsible
for
coordinating
that
making
choosing
who's
going
to
be
a
member
of
those
10
Regional
teams?
Is
it
going
to
be
you
mentioned
Ashland?
Is
it
going
to
be
a
a
an
entire
team
made
up
of
Ashland
firefighters
they're,
going
to
be
made
up
of
hand-picked
individuals
from
multiple
counties
throughout
the
region
who
coordinates
and
how
is
that
going
to.
U
Look,
that's
a
great
question,
so
if
you,
if
you
can
think
of
the
best
way,
I
can
describe
this
and
please
don't.
Let
me
implicate
that
we're
trying
to
say
that
we're
special
operations
from
the
military
because
we're
not,
but
we
liken
it
to
that
SWAT
teams
of
the
Police
Special
Operations
in
the
military.
Those
are
the
type
of
people
that
we'd
be
looking
for
in
the
fire
and
rescue
EMS
business.
Okay.
U
So
those
are
the
type
of
people
that
we'd
be
looking
for
through
this
program
that
we're
establishing
we're,
hoping
that
the
the
director
of
search
and
rescue
and
then
the
director
and
his
people
underneath
him
within
the
urban
search
and
rescue
section,
would
be
those
people
to
go
through.
The
federal
system
already
has
a
system
set
up
of
task
force,
leaders,
team
managers
and
on
down
a
chain
of
command,
and
we
would
follow
that
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
U
But
yes,
we
would
be
a
an
application
in
our
mind,
it's
an
application
process
and
it's
not
something
you
can
just
come
on
and
and
be
you
have
to
have
certain
certificates,
certain
qualifications,
certain
man
hours
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
no,
it
wouldn't
just
be
Ashland
fire
and
Lexington
fire.
It
would
be
by
those
regions
and
the
way
the
the
state
has
stadium.
Has
the
regions
out
it's
about
12
counties
per
region,
so
you'd
be
drawing
from
those
12
counties
for
that
one
Regional
team,
very
good.
Thank
you.
Thank.
W
W
Again,
I've
learned
maybe
no
need
to
talk,
but
just
to
follow
up
with
representative
blank's
question,
because
I
think
I
know
what
he's
asking
for
clarification.
Even
the
Lexington
in
Louisville
is
an
area,
and
that
was
kind
of
just
described
as
an
area,
and
it
would
not
only
be
Lexington
fire
or
Louisville
fire.
It
would
be
multiple
fire
departments
search
and
rescue
people
that
had
those
skills
in
those
large
geographical
areas.
A
Great
question
all
right,
representative
fugit.
Thank
you.
S
Mr,
chairman
commenting
a
question
or
two
please
so
it'd
probably
take
me
all
day
to
thank
you
all
for
all
the
work
that
you
did
down
in
southeast
Kentucky
and
my
in
my
district
and
other
districts
around
us
back
in
July
and
all
the
local
departments.
Emergency
Management,
the
Departments
from
outside
I
think
did
save
many
lives,
no
doubt
because
of
because
of
your
all's
actions,
director
slinker
in
his
Direction
and
all
he's
done
for
the
state
and
all
he's
done
to
help
our
people
back
home
and
representative
heart.
S
Thank
you
for
this.
This
legislation
I
think
it's
needed
and
the
National
Guard
and
all
the
all
the
people
that
they
rescued
by
helicopter
down
there
on
those
bad
nights
that
we
had.
One
question
is
fish
and
wildlife
is
really
active
in
rescue.
They
they're
trained
swimmers
in
different
different
areas
of
rescue.
Would
they
or
could
they,
as
their
units,
be
part
of
those
Regional
teams,
because
they're
always
one
of
the
First
Responders
to
any
any
disaster
or
anything
that
goes
on
fishing
Wildlife
officers
are
always
there
would
there?
S
U
In
my
opinion,
we
used,
we
worked
well
with
them
in
Eastern
Kentucky
during
the
floodings
they
were,
they
were
immense
and
some
of
the
operations
that
we
had
side
by
side.
So
this
usar
team
will
have
civilians,
we'll
have
anybody
on
it
from
Structural
Engineers
to
anybody,
that's
willing
and
is
willing
to
get
the
certifications
to
do
this.
U
So
water,
rescue,
like
fish
and
wildlife
would
be
would
be
definitely
one
of
those
type
of
people
that
we
would
want
for
sure
as
far
as
the
administration
and
how
they
would
fit
into
that.
That's
above
my
pay
grade
question
about
it.
I.
W
Think
it
would
be
just
like
the
National
Guard.
The
next
step
is
to
see
what
those
State
assets
that
are
already
here,
that
we
could
just
maybe
enhance,
or
increase
some
capabilities
and
see
how
that
would
Supply
into
this
plan
and
then
change
that
ultimate
outcome
of
the
funding
estimate
you
know,
may
fluctuate
with.
We
may
already
have
some
of
that
or
we
you
know
where
it
costs
less,
to
stand
up
fish
and
wildlife.
So
I
think
that's
the
next
step
to
really
digging
into
where
they
could
help.
Okay,.
A
All
right,
we
have
a
couple
more
questions,
representative
Johnson,.
C
Actually
Mr
chairman,
as
what
happens
in
most
of
the
Committees
I,
seem
to
be
in
right
now.
Representative
Blanton
asked
my
question.
So
I'll
just
move
things
along,
but
a
little
bit
and
say
motion
on
the
bill.
A
X
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I,
just
have
a
comment.
I
wanted
to
thank
representative
Hart
for
coming
to
Bradford
County
and
also
with
you,
giving
us
a
tour
of
your
command
center
that
helped
us
out
tremendously.
I
also
want
to
thank
fish
and
wildlife
for
coming.
It
rescued.
So
many
people
at
that
time
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that.
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman.
A
All
right
these
gentlemen
invited
my
wife
and
I
to
come
and
do
some
training
or
to
oversee
some
training
over
in
Lexington
and
just
amazing.
When
I
saw
you
know,
shiring
up
a
building,
is
it
these
guys
suddenly
kick
in
and
they
become
Carpenters
I
mean
they're
framing
doors
and
everything
else
trying
to
keep
that
you
know
unit
up
and
then
also
with
giant
cranes,
lifting
things
cars
off
of
people
that
are
pinned
underneath
really
awesome.
So
we
appreciate
what
you
do
all
right.
A
S
S
I
B
I
I
A
Aye
past
unanimous
there
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
that
on
the
floor.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
and
representative
heart.
You
stayed
there,
gentlemen
and
ladies
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
we'll.
Let
you
switch
out
real
quick
while
we're
going
to
put
representative
bojanowski
on
the
clock
here,
I
invited
everyone
new
members
and
we're
sure
glad
to
have
you
just
to
give
about
a
minute
or
so
of
why
you're
on
the
committee
chose
to
be.
Y
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
excited
to
be
on
this
committee.
I
do
not
know
much
about
this
area,
although
my
father
was
a
veteran,
so
you
know
I
think
that
there
are
so
many
facets
of
state
government
that
it's
important
to
understand
each
of
the
different
committees,
and
so
I'd
say
that's.
Why
I'm
here.
A
We're
glad
to
have
you
all
right.
We
got
another
presentation
if
I
think
we
have
a
few
here
Holly.
Do
you
want
to
bring
your
entourage
up
here?
Got
a
few
and
I
believe.
There's
a
somewhat
of
a
slide
presentation
are
y'all
comfortable
at
getting
it
started
or
so
down.
There
I
see
we.
Oh
it's
already
up
there.
First
net
look
at
y'all.
A
Gentlemen,
if
you
would
there,
there
is
a
mixture
that
green
light
is
on.
If
you
all
are
speaking,
please
introduce
yourselves
for
the
record,
and
we
appreciate
you
all
being
here.
Z
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
discuss
a
little
bit
about
firstnet
with
you
today,
I'm
going
to
take
it
from
the
federal
standpoint
as
oversight
of
the
Nationwide
project
and
let
the
gentleman
to
my
right
talk
about
implementation
and
Opera
operationalization
of
firstnet
firstnet
is
the
Nationwide
Public
Safety
Broadband
Network
for
Public
Safety
by
Public
Safety
signed
into
law
in
2012
after
years
of
hard
work
by
public
safety
and
as
a
result
of
the
911
Commission.
Z
AA
We
go
thanks,
sir.
My
name
is
William
hunt
I
serve
as
the
chief
of
police
in
the
city
of
Somerset,
and
we
are
on
the
firstnet
plan
with
our
city
and
most
things
we
look
at
these
days.
You
look
at
a
couple
things
especially
in
recession,
is:
does
the
product
work
and
then
cost?
Obviously,
this
system
is
working
very
well,
so
the
thing
I
was
going
to
touch
on
is
cost
and
how
it's
helped
us
in
our
community.
AA
When
we
switched
over
to
firstnet,
we
were
paying
roughly
150
dollars
per
phone
for
our
city
employees
and
when
we
went
to
firstnet
they
were
provided
the
same
phone
for
for
free,
no
cost.
Ipads
was
another
thing
that
we
use
commonly
doing
our
jobs.
We
were
paying
almost
360
dollars,
a
piece
for
iPads
and
the
exact
same
iPad.
We
received
at
no
cost
as
well
from
firstnet.
AA
We
also
switched
up
to
in
our
plan.
Previously
we
was
only
able
to
switch
out
our
phones
every
two
years
and
it
went
to
a
10
month
rotation
so
that
helped
us
as
well.
Something
else
that
became
available
to
us
was
a
local
store
at
a
t.
They
were
able
to
service
us
with
products
and
accessories
to
where
our
previous
provider
did
not
have
a
local
store
and
everything
had
to
be
ordered
and
shipped
to
us.
So
that
was
another
another
help.
AA
AA
They
also
allowed
us
to
trade
in
equipment
which
we
were
previously
not
allowed
to
do,
and
in
our
building
we
have
an
area
in
our
basement
that
you
essentially
cannot
get
any
cell
service.
Firstnet
was
able
to
provide
us
a
mini
sales
station
that
initially
would
have
cost
five
thousand
dollars
to
be
able
to
have
cell
service
in
that
area
of
the
building
they
provided
that
at
no
cost
as
well.
AA
So
in
essence,
the
main
thing
I
will
tell
you
about.
Firstnet
is
saved
our
citizens,
a
lot
of
money
in
tax
dollars.
In
our
first
year
with
firstnet,
we
saved
35
000
in
equipment
savings,
thirty,
four
thousand
dollars
in
build
credits.
We
are
saving
fifty
eight
hundred
dollars
a
year
in
just
our
phone
line
service
and
it
saved
our
citizens
in
our
first
year,
almost
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
in
savings
for
our
tax
dollars.
AA
AB
You
good
morning
my
name
is
Drew
Taylor
I'm,
the
Chief
Information
officer
for
Hopkins
County
Schools
I've
been
using
personnet
on
cell
phones
for
for
a
few
years,
but
we're
always
looking
for
innovative
ways
to
integrate
things.
You
know
in
different
areas,
and
so
so
one
of
those
areas
was
Transportation
where
there
was
a
need.
There's
a
safety
knee
there's
a
communication
need,
and
so
we
wanted
to
improve
those
things.
So
we,
instead
of
using
the
CB
radios
that
historically,
have
always
been
used.
AB
We
looked
at
using
bus
tablets,
so
their
Samsung
Galaxy
tablets
and
we're
able
to
manage
those
with
an
MDM
mobile
device
manager
and
we
can
put
them
in
Kiosk
mode,
so
we
can
lock
them
down.
So
so
bus
drivers
and
students
can't
do
really
anything
else
on
them.
We
can
push
apps,
we
can
control
the
security
on
them.
We
can
configure
and
push
settings
to
them.
We
can
remotely
connect
to
them
and
we
can
even
enable
the
hotspot
for
other
uses.
AB
AB
We
haven't
implemented
that
yet,
but
we're
going
to
and
that's
going
to
be
used
as
routing
software
for
new
bus,
new
bus
drivers
for
sub
bus
drivers
for
check-in
check
out
those
type
of
things
and
we're
going
to
integrate
our
camera
system,
our
bus
camera
system,
because
the
Wi-Fi
hotspot.
So
we
don't
have
to
pay
for
a
separate
cellular
signal
to
connect
those
to
the
cloud.
So
we
can
get
real-time
camera
footage
it'll
connect
directly
to
the
Internet,
so
it's
saved
in
the
cloud.
AB
Some
of
the
benefits
of
the
ATT
system,
the
firstnet
system-
is
it's
all
encrypted,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
people
with
scanners,
picking
up
the
traffic,
so
people
can
talk
freely.
They
can
you
know
if
there's
some
type
of
emergency,
they
can
use
names
they
can
use
addresses
they
can
they
can
talk
freely
without
fear
of
some
woman.
Picking
someone
picking
that
up
and
becoming
a
safety
issue,
there's
no
longer
dead
spots
in
our
County,
so
we
were
using
the
radio
towers.
There's
lots
of
dead
spots.
AB
There
are
no
longer
dead
spots
because
we're
using
the
first
net
Towers
we
can
isolate
conversations
so
bus
driver
comes
the
radio
dispatch.
Can
isolate
that
conversation,
so
it
doesn't
go
over
everyone's
radio.
In
certain
situations
it's
got
priority
traffic.
AB
So
it's
you
know
it
takes
priority
over
regular
cell
calls
text
messages,
videos
any
of
those
things.
It
takes
first
priority
we're
able
to
use
it
outside
the
county,
so
these
are
field
trips
to
Florida.
AB
You
know
when
you
go
outside
the
county,
they
can
use
their
best
radio
system,
whereas
before
we
could
not
do
that,
and-
and
the
last
thing
that
I
really
want
to
emphasize
is
if
a
tower
if
Tower
goes
down,
ATT
can
bring
in
Mobile
units
for
firstnet
and
you're
immediately
back
up,
and
on
top
of
getting
to
it
quickly
to
fix
the
initial
Tower,
we
actually
had
a
situation.
AB
If
we
were
still
on
the
old
radio
towers,
we
would
not
have
a
bus
radio
system
right
now,
because
one
of
the
main
Towers
in
our
County
was
struck
by
lightning
which
destroyed
it
and
the
generator
so
because
of
moving
to
firstnet
and
this
solution.
We
continue
to
have
communications
with
our
buses
and
transportation.
A
A
Z
Yes,
so,
under
the
legislation
that
was
passed
by
Congress
in
2012,
the
the
envisioning
of
of
Public
Safety
was
a
single
Nationwide
Network
dedicated
to
Public
Safety.
Throughout
the
process
of
leading
up
to
the
RFP
that
was
issued
by
the
federal
government
and
ultimate
award
to
ATT.
We
did
a
a
request
for
comments.
Public
notice,
things
of
that
nature
and
everyone,
including
industry.
The
cellular
industry,
responded
that
it
needs
to
be
a
single
carrier.
So
that's
that's
how
the
RFP
was
issued.
Z
The
the
the
network
is
comprised
primarily
of
dedicated
spectrum
and
I.
Don't
want
to
get
too
technical,
but
Congress
allocated
20
megahertz
of
spectrum
to
Public
Safety,
and
that
is
the
backbone
of
the
firstnet
network
and
and
that
is
licensed
from
the
Department
of
Commerce
first
net
authority
to
a
t
for
use
on
the
network.
K
So
you
had
explained
about,
you
can
have
private
conversations
and
things
is:
are
these
secure?
Is
it
a
secure
network
encrypted.
Z
A
All
right,
I
believe
that
was
it
done.
Questions
representative,
Hart
I
believe
has
oh
wait.
I'm
sorry,
representative
Tech
at
Lafferty.
O
Z
Things
of
that
nature,
where
needed
also
the
the
Deployable
program
under
the
firstnet
network,
we
have
over
150
assets
scattered
across
the
country
that
can
be
called
up
for
free
of
charge
by
firstnet
subscribers
to
be
used
in
those
very
issues
areas
and
just
like
with
the
search
and
rescue
presentation
before
the
the
recent
hurricanes
in
Florida
we
had.
We
had
teams
basically
married
to
the
urban
search
and
rescue
teams
and
as
they
moved,
our
deployables
moved
with
them
to
provide
coverage.
Y
Yeah
they're
getting
sent
yeah
I
record
a
vote
Yes
you
sure,
May.
Okay,
thank
you.
I'd
like
to
record
a
yes
vote
on
hb28
and
hb63,
and
I'd
like
to
report
record
a
no
vote
on
hb153.
A
A
Sportsman
and
First
Responders
have
Embrace
personality
control.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
appreciate
you
being
here
appreciate:
y'all
alrighty
is
there
any
other
business
needs
to
come
in
front
of
the
committee.
If
not,
we
will
be
meeting
next
week.
Members
and
I'm
sorry
Ashley,
but
we
are
probably
going
to

us
at
