Summary

Emergency manager Frank Vouk reported sirens activated that day and said the city will fall under Stearns County's mitigation plan rather than update its own. He does not plan to attend the governor's mitigation conference in February but will consider a Sartell event next year.

Emergency Management Coordinator Frank Vouk told the council that sirens went off that day and that an earlier update to the city's mitigation action chart is unnecessary because St. Stephen will rely on Stearns County's mitigation plan. Vouk said the county's plan covers the city's needs and that no immediate local mitigation action is required.

Vouk also said he does not plan to attend the governor's mitigation conference in February; he will instead consider a similar meeting presented by Sartell next year. The council recorded the notification and no formal direction to pursue a separate local mitigation update was made.
