Stone Park committee to seek board adoption of Cook County hazard‑mitigation plan update
Summary
Trustee Sylvia Terrazas told the committee she will seek board approval of Resolution 24‑07 to adopt the Cook County Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update; Police Director Chris Pavini said FEMA requires a five‑year update and this cycle adds cybersecurity to flood and power‑outage planning.
Trustee Sylvia Terrazas said the committee will ask the Village Board to adopt Resolution 24‑07, which would formally adopt the Cook County Multi‑Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update for Stone Park.
Police Director Chris Pavini explained that the Federal Emergency Management Agency requires participating jurisdictions to update their hazard‑mitigation plans every five years. He said the county plan focuses on reducing risk from floods and electrical outages and that this year’s update also adds cybersecurity measures to local mitigation planning.
The committee discussion did not record a formal vote on the resolution at the committee meeting; Terrazas indicated she will seek approval at the next full board meeting. No public-comment concerns or objections to the resolution were recorded in the committee minutes.
If adopted by the Village Board, the county plan update would document hazard risks and prioritized mitigation actions for jurisdictions in Cook County; the minutes do not specify whether adoption would trigger new local funding or require changes to Stone Park ordinances. The committee did not specify a timeline for implementation beyond the board vote step.
