Shorewood renews membership in Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network, approving updated IGA
Summary
Public works staff recommended continuation of membership in the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network and approval of a revised intergovernmental agreement expanding mutual-aid language beyond emergencies; the board approved the resolution.
Shorewood's public works department told the board it is a member of the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network and recommended approval of a revised intergovernmental agreement that expands allowable mutual aid beyond declared emergencies to include one-time equipment assistance.
Public works staff described past mutual-aid responses — including tornado response efforts in nearby communities — and said revisions clarify that municipalities may provide short-term equipment or labor support for nonemergency needs. The village attorney reviewed the IGA and staff recommended continuing the membership; the board approved the resolution.
