Summary
Trustees waived readings and adopted Ordinance #24-27 to join an Automatic Aid Agreement with numerous neighboring municipalities, aligning local emergency response with existing mutual-aid frameworks such as MABAS.
The Village of Lynwood approved Ordinance #24-27, authorizing an Automatic Aid Agreement among Lynwood and multiple neighboring municipalities to formalize mutual aid for certain incidents.
The board voted to waive first and second reading and adopt the ordinance at the Dec. 10 meeting. Attorney Boyle noted the arrangement mirrors the MABAS agreement already on record and lists participating communities including Burnham, Calumet City, Country Club Hills, Dolton, East Hazel Crest, Flossmoor, Glenwood, Harvey, Hazel Crest, Homewood, Lansing, Lynwood, Markham, Matteson, Munster, Oak Forest, Park Forest, Phoenix, Richton Park, Riverdale, South Holland, Thornton and Tinley Park. The motion carried by roll call of the trustees present.
The agreement authorizes reciprocal emergency-aid responses under specified circumstances; operational specifics and triggers are governed by the agreement language and standard mutual-aid practice.
