Summary

Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 606-25 to be NIMS-compliant and to participate in county-supported emergency operations planning; staff and councilors will need periodic training and the change enables access to some grants.

City Manager Eric Underwood introduced Marion County Emergency Management Director Greg Walsh, who described a county program to hire a contractor to help each city prepare an emergency operations plan aligned with the county. Underwood said that "Being NIMS compliant is a requirement for some grants that are available." The council approved Resolution No. 606-25, as amended to correct a date and a typo, by a 5-0-0 vote.
