Third Lake to rewrite emergency plan after Lake County EMA staff turnover
Summary
Mayor Butch Buckley told the Committee of the Whole on Oct. 7 that Lake County EMA has experienced turnover among emergency‑planning staff; Third Lake will rewrite its Emergency Operations Plan to a newly introduced format and may revise it again after Lake County hires a replacement specialist.
Mayor Butch Buckley told the Committee of the Whole that Lake County Emergency Management Agency staff turnover has required the village to rework its emergency plan. Buckley said a newly hired EMA specialist produced a new format for Emergency Operations Plans but left before the county filled the position; the village will rewrite its EOP to that format and expects additional revision once Lake County appoints a new specialist.
The change matters because the EOP governs local emergency response coordination with county and regional partners. The minutes record no vote or timetable for completion; Buckley presented the status as a report to the board. The issue will return for further review when Lake County EMA stabilizes staffing.
