Before we get with Chief Backer we're 4 going to hear from the County Administrator 5 this morning, but before we do that let me just 6 kind of recap. In talking to some people, I 7 just want to make sure that the commission 8 members have an understanding of the importance 9 of yesterday, what we're going to wrap up this 10 morning, and why we're going through this. 11 There's been a lot of discussion, and some 12 criticism about what people did, what people 13 didn't do, why they acted, why they didn't act, 14 and an important aspect of us evaluating that 15 is what people knew, what they didn't know, 16 information that they had access to, 17 information that they didn't have access to, 18 that may have driven some of their actions or 19 inactions. 20 So, that was a significant reason and 21 backdrop for having to go through all of what 22 we are going through regarding communications. 23 And when you think about it this way, and what 24 we learned yesterday, and what we know, and 25 this is going to lead us into August, and Veritext Legal Solutions 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 Page 5 1 especially into September for sure, but 2 hopefully in August as well, where we're 3 starting to really look at in a detailed way, 4 you know, with facts, and with evidence, and 5 call logs, and CAD notes, and radio traffic, 6 and everything else putting this whole picture 7 together is, is that what we learned yesterday 8 is, is that if somebody at Marjory Stoneman 9 Douglas High School dials 911, is that we know 10 that that is going into the Coral Springs 11 communications center, and that's where that 12 call is going to be answered. We know that the 13 Coral Springs Police Department is not the 14 primary law enforcement responder at Stoneman 15 Douglas High School, we know that the Broward 16 County Sheriff's Office is. 17 We know that the way the system is 18 designed is, is that the Coral Springs Police 19 Department when they answer that call, and 20 somebody says there's a law enforcement 21 emergency at Stoneman Douglas, that they would 22 transfer that call to the Broward County 23 Sheriff's Office regional communications 24 center. That call taker would then ask the 25 person certain questions again. That person Veritext Legal Solutions 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 Page 6 1 would convey the information. They would 2 create an entry into the CAD system, meaning 3 the call taker would create an entry into the 4 CAD system. That entry would then be shipped 5 to the dispatcher. The dispatcher would then 6 send it out over the Broward County Sheriff's 7 Office CAD and/or radio system. 8 And what we know happened on February 14th 9 is, is a lot of 911 calls went into the Coral 10 Springs Police Department Fire 911 Center. We 11 don't know how many calls, and we're going to 12 find out, and you'll have that in front of you 13 in the near future. We don't know how many 14 calls went to the Broward County Sheriff's 15 Office regional communications center. A few, 16 but not a lot. The exact number we'll find 17 out. 18 We also know that the Broward Sheriff's 19 Office does not have a CAD system that they 20 share with Coral Springs, so as Coral Springs 21 was getting that information, and they were 22 entering it into their CAD, and their officers 23 were getting it, the Broward County Sheriff's 24 deputies who are being informed of the active 25 shooter situation at Stoneman Douglas didn't Veritext Legal Solutions 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 Page 7 1 have access to the CAD information that was 2 being entered in the Coral Springs system. 3 We also know that the Broward Sheriff's 4 Office regional communications center did not 5 have the Coral Springs main dispatch channels, 6 so they couldn't even go up on those channels 7 to even hear what Coral Springs was saying. We 8 also know that the responding deputies didn't 9 have access to the Coral Springs primary 10 channel. Then we heard as well about the 11 responding deputies, and we heard a lot about 12 this thing that has become infamous, in 13 throttle, and you were told that when the radio 14 system's capacity is met, in essence is, is 15 that this throttling thing happens, and that 16 whoever is trying to talk can't talk. 17 So, the version of it, this is what 18 happens, is that if a deputy gets there, and in 19 this case Captain Jordon got there, and a lot's 20 been made about what she did or didn't do. And 21 she gets on the radio to try and take control 22 of the situation, (radio sounds) what's she 23 going to do, thing becomes a brick, turn it off 24 and throw it away, there's nothing you can do 25 with it. That's what she was getting. That's Veritext Legal Solutions 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 Page 8 1 throttling. That's the type of tones that 2 you're getting. 3 So, when people are saying that in Captain 4 Jordan's case, and I don't know Captain Jordan, 5 I met her once for about maybe five seconds, I 6 don't know whether she did a good job, poor 7 job, or somewhere in between. I have no idea. 8 But what I do know, and the evidence here is 9 going to show, and where it's going to show, 10 because the testimony of law enforcement 11 officers and body cam video and audio that 12 shows that she was trying to transmit, and she 13 couldn't transmit, and she could not get on the 14 radio to take control of the scene, and that 15 she was trying to go to their radios, car 16 radios, K-9 deputies' radios, cruiser radios, 17 she was trying to get on there and she couldn't 18 get on there. 19 All that is extremely relevant to our 20 evaluation of the command and control, which is 21 one of the things specifically we're charged 22 with evaluating here, and whether there was 23 adequate command and control, and whether the 24 scene was handled properly, and whether 25 decisions were made. And so, as there is Veritext Legal Solutions 800-726-7007 305-376-8800 Page 9 1 criticism of, and it's been in public, public, 2 about whether she allowed EMS in, whether she 3 didn't allow EMS in, whether she set 4 perimeters, whether she did this, which she 5 did, she couldn't communicate. And the 6 evidence that we see, and what you're going to 7 see more of is, is that there is no doubt that 8 the information that was available to Coral 9 Springs exceeded the information that was 10 available to Broward County Sheriff's Office 11 because they didn't have a shared channel, they 12 didn't have a shared CAD, and that people were 13 trying to communicate, and they couldn't 14 communicate because of this throttling issue.

  • Protecting Water Quantity in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness
    Protecting Water Quantity in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness The lower 15% of the Everglades ecosystem and watershed have been designated as the Everglades National Park (ENP), and about 87% of ENP is designated the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness. The natural quality of the wilderness has been impacted by longstanding and pervasive upstream water manipulation. As an undeveloped area of land, it appears as wilderness, but ecologically is unnatural; in particular, related to water conditions. In the early 1900s, several uncoordinated efforts upstream of the ENP dredged canals to move water to agriculture and domestic uses, and away from areas where urban development was occurring. In response to unprecedented flooding during the 1947 hurricane season, Congress established the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project to systematically regulate the Everglades hydrology through 1,700 miles of canals and levees upstream of what is now designated wilderness. Little consideration was given to the ecology of the Everglades. Currently, the wilderness receives more water than natural in the wet season when developed areas in southern Florida are trying to prevent flooding. During the dry season, agricultural and domestic uses create a demand for water that results in significantly diminished flows entering the wilderness. A key provision of Everglades National Park's 1934 enabling legislation identified the area as "...permanently reserved as a wilderness...and no development shall be undertaken which will interfere with the preservation intact of the unique flora and fauna and essential primitive natural conditions..." A critical goal to meet this mission is to replicate the natural systems in terms of water quantity, quality, timing, and distribution.

Florida State University, 2007 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 © 2012 by Mark Schellhammer II ii ABSTRACT This study illustrates the impact of the Tamiami Trail on the people and environment of South Florida through an examination of the road’s origins, construction and implementation. By exploring the motives behind building the highway, the subsequent assimilation of indigenous societies, the drastic population growth that occurred as a result of a propagated “Florida Dream”, and the environmental decline of the surrounding Everglades, this analysis reveals that the Tamiami Trail is viewed today through a much different context than that of the road’s builders and promoters in the early twentieth century.

  • Perspective: Who Belongs on the Pedestal? | Tampa Bay Times
    Perspective: Who belongs on the pedestal? | Tampa Bay Times http://www.tampabay.com/news/perspective/perspective-who-belongs-on... By Gary R. Mormino, special to the Tampa Bay Times Friday, July 3, 2015 1:16pm LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN AND OUR FATHERS THAT BEGAT US. THEIR SEED SHALL REMAIN FOREVER AND THEIR GLORY SHALL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT. Ecclesiastes 44:1, 44:13 Alas, in the 21st century, the historical reputations of heroes and villains heave to and fro like the health benefits of kale and coffee. In Florida, where roots are as shallow as an Australian pine, yesterday's heroes often wind up in the dustbins of history. The measure between marble and clay is time and timing. Enshrining heroes used to be simple. Consider Andrew Jackson. A steadfast patriot and military hero of New Orleans and Horseshoe Bend, Old Hickory's legacy was burnished by deadly duels and lively quarrels. When Jackson died, he was the most beloved American of the age. But Old Hickory's actions against American Indians and his support of slavery make him so controversial today that critics demand his rugged portrait be stricken from the $20 bill. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, once lionized as a Cuban freedom fighter and a "Fighting Progressive," is now depicted as a gun-running sheriff and governor who drained the Everglades and proposed recolonizing African-Americans. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of the 1938 novel The Yearling, whose prose ennobled poor whites and the Big Scrub, has also fallen from the pedestal. A decade ago, I was asked to recommend a book for Hillsborough County residents to share.

  • The Rhetoric of Conspiracism in User-Centered Democracy
    THE RHETORIC OF CONSPIRACISM IN USER-CENTERED DEMOCRACY Tyler John Easterbrook A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Jordynn Jack Daniel Anderson Jane Danielewicz Todd Taylor Torin Monahan © 2021 Tyler John Easterbrook ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler John Easterbrook: The Rhetoric of Conspiracism in User-Centered Democracy (Under the direction of Jordynn Jack) This dissertation examines social media-based conspiracy theories of the past five years (2016-2021) and considers what this recent conspiracy rhetoric suggests about the evolving relationship between people, platforms, and politics in the contemporary United States. I use the tools of rhetorical theory and criticism to analyze a small archive of conspiracist content across three case studies—Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory alleging a vast pedophilia ring run by political elites; conspiracy theories surrounding the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida; and Plandemic, a self-styled “documentary” about COVID-19 conspiracies that went viral in May 2020. In each case study, I show that the conspiracy rhetoric in question uses the unique affordances of social media platforms to amplify that conspiracy theory’s rhetorical efficacy. Ultimately, I argue that conspiracism has now become a durable form of social media content that threatens to wreak havoc on American political discourse. iii To Nora, whose profound friendship made this dissertation possible. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I offer my heartfelt thanks to my dissertation committee, who have supported me in innumerable ways throughout my time at UNC.
