FROM: Kasia Cawley, Police Chief ITEM TYPE: Ordinance - Committee REQUEST SUMMARY When a municipality encounters emergencies, natural disasters, man-made catastrophes or special events that are beyond the scope of the municipalities' personnel and equipment, it is imperative that the municipality can call on other municipalities to provide aid to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. Coordination of mutual aid through the Illinois Emergency Management Mutual Aid System is the desired and effective provision to render or request mutual aid. The Illinois Emergency Management Mutual Aid System Agreement and accompanying ordinance is a critical piece in our ability to request or provide support in the way of personnel, equipment, or facilities to one another while ensuring that we have the legal framework in place to do so. This formalized agreement shall be in effect for a term of one year and shall automatically renew for successive one year terms. The formalized document promotes the sharing of people and resources across jurisdictional boundaries, incorporating best practices and reflecting changes in the overall mutual aid landscape in Illinois. This updated agreement provides more detail on what is considered emergency management personnel and assets. It establishes a governance of structure for the oversight of emergency management mutual aid. This new agreement requires the signature of all entities involved in the mutual aid and thus the new agreement is more flexible in the execution of the agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT Equipment, emergency management staff, and/or emergency services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be at no charge to the party requesting aid; however any expenses recovered from third parties, including but not limited to reimbursements, fees, grants, or insurance proceeds tied to the events from the emergency, disaster, or special event arose, shall be equitably distributed among responding parties.
