Police chief says school requested use of recreation center for emergency evacuations; borough attorney to draft agreement
Summary
At the Sept. 6 caucus, Police Chief Tom Tassi noted schools are back in session and said the school has requested permission to use the recreation center for emergency evacuations; the borough attorney will work with the school to develop an agreement.
Police Chief Tom Tassi told the council that school is back in session and urged motorists to drive carefully in school zones. Chief Tassi reported the school has requested to use the recreation center as a site for emergency evacuations; the minutes record that the borough attorney will work with the school to develop an agreement allowing that use.
The item was recorded as a department report; no formal motion or vote on a policy was taken during the caucus. The minutes do not specify the school’s name, details of terms or insurance requirements, or a timetable for concluding an agreement. Borough officials noted the attorney will coordinate the details with school representatives.
Because the matter was recorded as direction to staff rather than final action, further meetings or documentation will be required to establish the terms for using the recreation center as an evacuation site.
