Fort Heights adopts Cook County hazard mitigation plan update
Summary
The Fort Heights Village Board unanimously approved an update to the Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and heard an update from legal counsel on negotiations over a separate water-bill debt with Chicago Heights.
The Fort Heights Village Board voted to adopt Resolution No. 2024-10-020-02, approving the Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan update required of grantees every five years. The clerk announced that "the motion has carried to approve resolution number 2024-10-02-02," and the board recorded affirmative votes from trustees present.
Legal counsel told the board that being a grantee under the program requires submitting an updated plan for consideration every five years and briefly outlined that approval will keep the village eligible for related mitigation assistance. The counsel also used the report to update the board on an unrelated financial negotiation with the city of Chicago Heights regarding a water-bill debt, noting current monthly payments and the village's ongoing discussions.
