The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 7 authorized the signing of the "Ottawa County Plan for Response to Hazardous Materials Emergencies," a plan issued by the Local Emergency Planning Committee.

The motion to authorize signing was moved by Commissioner Mark W. Stahl, seconded by Commissioner Donald A. Douglas and approved unanimously by Commissioner Mark E. Coppeler, Commissioner Mark W. Stahl and Commissioner Donald A. Douglas.

The transcript records the action was taken upon the recommendation of the chairman of the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The record does not include the text of the plan or details of changes, and no further discussion or conditions were recorded in the public transcript.

The authorization allows the county to formally adopt the LEPC-issued response plan; the transcript does not specify implementation steps, training or funding related to the plan.
