Board discusses extending EMA mutual aid to Grant Park; vehicle donation offered
Summary
Trustee Tieri raised extending EMA assistance to Grant Park (located in Kankakee County) outside the current Will County mutual aid agreement; EMA Director Bob Heim said Grant Park's police chief offered to donate a vehicle to EMA and that the agreement would need amendment and board approval.
Trustee Tieri told the board that Beecher's EMA currently has a mutual aid agreement with Will County but that Grant Park — in neighboring Kankakee County — is not covered. EMA Director Bob Heim reported that Grant Park's police chief has offered to donate a vehicle to Beecher EMA. Trustees discussed amending the mutual aid agreement to extend assistance to Grant Park as a courtesy; the board raised no objections to considering an amendment and any formal amendment would need to be drafted and approved at a future meeting.
The minutes do not include text of an amended agreement or a formal motion; instead, they note the offer and the intention to amend and seek board approval in due course. No objections were recorded at the March 10 meeting.
