Gosper County adopts 2026 Local Emergency Operations Plan on 2-1 vote
Summary
The Gosper County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 26-7 adopting the 2026 Local Emergency Operations Plan, which coordinates disaster response for Gosper County and the villages of Elwood and Smithfield; the measure passed on a 2-1 roll-call vote.
The Gosper County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 26-7, approving the 2026 Local Emergency Operations Plan for Gosper County and the villages of Elwood and Smithfield, during its June 10, 2026 meeting in Elwood.
Emergency Manager Roger Powell updated the board on the plan and formally presented Resolution 26-7. Chairperson Terry Lerdall moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Bruce Bader seconded. The board took a roll-call vote: Lerdall “Aye,” Bader “Aye,” and Commissioner Glenn Hofman “Nay.” The motion carried and the resolution was adopted.
The adopted plan is intended to provide a coordinated response framework for disasters and emergencies affecting the county and the two villages, aligning local response roles and procedures. Powells presentation preceded the boards action; the minutes indicate the plan was presented and the resolution voted on the same day.
The action was recorded in the meeting minutes as Resolution 26-7. No further implementation steps or timelines beyond adoption were recorded in the minutes; the board did not record additional directives or a staff assignment in that entry.
The boards next regular meeting is scheduled for June 30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Gosper County Courthouse.
