Council agrees to prepare ordinance to join regional major-crash assistance team
Summary
The police chief described a mutual-aid agreement to join a multi-agency major crash assistance team offering reconstruction technology and trained personnel; council authorized preparation of an ordinance for review and to return at the next meeting.
The council reviewed a proposed mutual-aid agreement to join a regional major crash assistance team that would provide specialized accident-reconstruction tools and trained personnel on an on-call basis. Chief Derek said the MOU would let the village request assistance when needed rather than maintain expensive equipment and training in-house.
"For us being a smaller agency, this is a huge this is something huge for us... We don't have to send somebody to training. We don't have to purchase a bunch of equipment for this stuff. We can simply become part of this, contribute as much as we can from my own, but also get a lot of return," the chief said. After questions about costs and how call-outs would work, the council voted to have the agreement reviewed and to prepare an ordinance for the next council meeting; no final ordinance was signed at this meeting.
