Pratt County adopts storm-spotter guide, updates LEPC bylaws and signs generator service contract
Summary
The commission approved the updated Storm Spotter Operation Guide and the Local Emergency Planning Committee bylaws, and contracted Foley Gatt to service a generator for the health/EMS facility and sheriff trailer at $1,537.49 per year.
Pratt County commissioners approved several emergency-management items during their meeting, voting to adopt an updated Storm Spotter Operation Guide, approve updated Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) bylaws, and add a generator to the county's service contract.
The Storm Spotter Operation Guide was presented and signed; the emergency-management coordinator said the signed copies will be distributed to spotters and added to the commission's reference books. The LEPC bylaws were presented as an update and signed; copies will be placed in county files.
Separately, the commission approved a new two-year maintenance contract with Foley Gatt to service a generator at the county's new building (the health department/old EMS building) and the sheriff trailer. The presenter said the Public Safety Building's generator was not included on this contract and that the company declined to move that generator onto the agreement. Motion language specified the contractor and annual price: Foley Gatt, $1,537.49 per year.
Other preparedness items noted in the meeting: a distribution of emergency "carrying bags" (flashlight, batteries, water, etc.) that are handed out at a school-weather-safety presentation to second graders; the coordinator said the bags contain the commission's checklist and are intended to get preparedness information to households.
Ending: The emergency-management coordinator said updated guides and bylaws will be filed, and the county will begin the scheduled generator maintenance rotation under the new contract.
