Perryville authorizes mayor to sign Statewide Emergency Mutual Aid Agreement
Summary
Counselor Jordan Shewmaker and Emergency Management Director Brian Caldwell said aid-providing entities may recover costs under section IV; council unanimously authorized Mayor Kernodle to sign the Statewide Emergency Mutual Aid Agreement.
Counselor Jordan Shewmaker and Emergency Management Director Brian Caldwell reviewed section IV of the Statewide Emergency Mutual Aid Agreement at the March 5 Perryville City Council meeting and said it appears to allow entities rendering aid to recover related costs if emergency funding is available.
After the explanation, Councilperson Caldwell moved and Councilperson Reed seconded a motion authorizing Mayor Kernodle to enter into the Statewide Emergency Mutual Aid Agreement on behalf of the city. The council approved the motion unanimously.
The council did not record further details about cost‑recovery procedures, specific mutual‑aid deployments, or any required reporting in the meeting transcript. Implementation steps, including whether the city would seek reimbursement for storm-standby hours previously submitted to the Emergency Management Director, were not resolved during the session.
