Mike Snyder of Decatur County Emergency Management Agency told the council that the St. Paul Civic Center qualified through the American Red Cross to participate in the disaster-relief shelter program. The council agreed to participate and approved a facility-use agreement to allow the civic center to be used as a shelter in disasters.
Council member Tim Ray moved to approve the use-of-facility agreement and Council member Kim Livingston seconded; the motion was recorded as carried. The minutes do not list any conditions or required facility upgrades in the motion; staff follow-up is implied to finalize logistics with the Red Cross and EMA.
