Village to consider appointing ESDA coordinator; Code Red system, siren agreement cited
Summary
An ESDA representative urged reinstating the Code Red phone alert system and restoring the ESDA email; the Clerk said the village is ready to proceed once an ESDA coordinator is appointed and Trustee John Feder asked that an appointment be placed on the next agenda.
Ed Cockrell Jr. attended the Committee of the Whole to discuss ESDA/EMA program needs, telling the board that the ESDA handbook will need updating but that restoring the Code Red telephone alert system was the immediate priority.
Cockrell also said the ESDA email address needs reinstating and that a signed siren agreement with St. Clair County must be submitted. The Clerk indicated the village is ready to move forward with Code Red and the email once the Board appoints someone to be in charge; Trustee John Feder asked the Clerk to place an appointment of Cockrell as ESDA Coordinator on the next board agenda.
The items are procedural but carry public-safety implications because Code Red and the county siren agreement affect emergency notifications. The committee did not vote to appoint a coordinator at this meeting; it directed staff to place the appointment on the next meeting agenda for formal consideration.
