The officer said reverting to ISOMS will allow sheriff's staff to independently look up bite-dog or rabies-tag information and is expected to save the department ‘‘a couple thousand dollars a year’’ because the county already pays for ISOMS.

He said the county installed a three-space decedent cooler that had been on order since the prior year and that it had already been used four times. The coroner reported the cooler cost about $9,800 installed and that having it in place saved the county “about over $2,000 this month” in avoided outside refrigeration or transport costs.

The coroner also announced the retirement of a longtime deputy, Henry Raho, who served 35 years and 54 days. The coroner said the county will present a plaque and hold a luncheon to mark Raho's retirement and noted his wife recently passed and family plans to relocate.

Fred, the county EMA director, said January through March are busy months for hazardous-materials work and that last year the county identified roughly 53 facilities with extremely hazardous substances (he also said the number might have been 57). ‘‘The goal is to visit one third of those facilities every year so that we're putting eyes on each facility every three years to make sure that there's, if there's been any development in the area, any changes to the facility,’’ Fred said.

Fred described the visits as documentation for the county hazardous chemical response plan and said the inspections assess nine criteria, including training, drills and identification of a facility's worst-case scenario. He said the county has been invited to participate in facility drills and sometimes counts real incident responses as exercises when appropriate. Fred also reported recent call-outs for the county field service unit for structure fires and an incident that resulted in a fatality at a tow yard; he said federal and state grant reimbursements had been submitted for some expenses.

Committee members asked whether the EMA requests permission before visiting sites. Fred said he approaches facilities alphabetically, invites himself, and, if denied access, will coordinate with local fire departments to obtain needed observations. He said he plans site visits over the upcoming six-week period.","County emergency management said it will visit facilities that file Tier II chemical reports, aiming to inspect roughly one-third of those facilities annually to update the county hazardous chemical response plan.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6348926,"LaSalle County emergency management staff pitches D4H incident-management software; contract to be forwarded for signature",759,989000,1748000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2239721-10c06820043fb5fd10845b42baeba6d3&start=989&end=1748","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2239721-10c06820043fb5fd10845b42baeba6d3/thumbnail_989000.jpg","/articles/6348926/LaSalle-County/Illinois/LaSalle-County-emergency-management-staff-pitches-D4H-incident-management-software-contract-to-be-forwarded-for-signature","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6348926-122fb440f739b3e89716dc4f7e40ea3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771094180&Signature=DJUk8jeKEtX-5lYW894Y2e~8bZGpbNtlE~err8vpesi0npF0jrlhrbyGGST3EMRfaZUkAL64-DYrSEuwyJXxHSdPAUCuZONFbLf54MOu6ITuoQLH0Kfpy8bA1aCygjuWFNwRqDyyb6TCjBx~4ZnI614tnWKXV6pC4H8sL8SxP7sylQVq7yrK3hUz5-3HaAb1JpLD6rJNSdze3eb78oKHVVw2s1CBwfaxx9KVnMD9565WLkwtWuh8COZY9P39azmQr2x4f6QaPwdZsqzGsoBjF2LS63n5Hi6nIhxsOQx5YgauFQkVStese1E8Pln72s54PH0iwoAE8TLAcHBt~cOKeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","LaSalle County Emergency Management presented a plan to adopt D4H incident-management software and described a $15,000 annual cost, about $13,000 of which is covered by grant funding.

The county's emergency management director, Fred (EMA director), told the Public Safety Committee the software is a cloud-based incident-management and reporting tool meant to improve county and municipal information sharing during incidents and exercises. ‘‘It will allow us to create an incident report based off of that’’ and track volunteer training and equipment maintenance, Fred said.

LaSalle County State's Attorney Mr. Herman said his initial contract concerns — including litigation venue and backups — had largely been addressed after discussions with the vendor and staff. ‘‘Between Fred and D4H, they've alleviated my concerns. They were minor concerns to begin with,’’ Herman said.

Committee members asked about data security, CAD integration and licensing. Fred said the system is standalone (not a CAD import) but can interface with other systems; the vendor provides automatic backend updates and security certificates the county staff described as robust. He said the county's license will cover 50 users and that 20–21 seats will remain in the county Emergency Operations Center so municipal partners, dispatch, highway, and sheriff's offices can be given access when needed. John (IT staff) reviewed the software online and did not raise an objection.

Fred said the contract includes an automatic one-year renewal unless cancelled but that the vendor also auto-terminates service if renewal payment is not made. He told the committee the item was in the current EMA budget. The committee did not record a formal vote to sign the contract during the meeting; Fred said he would forward the contract to the chair (Don) or sign it and indicated the item would go to the full board as required for contracting.

Committee discussion emphasized practical uses such as reporting downed trees or outages during ice storms and creating a single situational assessment for state inquiries. No formal contract execution was recorded in the meeting minutes.

The committee did not take a formal vote to execute the contract at the meeting; next steps recorded were forwarding the contract to the chair or presenting it for full-board approval.","LaSalle County Emergency Management discussed a $15,000 D4H incident-management software subscription, with about $13,000 covered by grant funding. County and legal staff said vendor changes and automatic renewal terms were addressed; staff will forward the contract to the chair or take steps for full-board approval.","actionData","errors"]
