A RESOLUTION FOR EMERGENCY AID IN PUBLIC WORKS
WHEREAS, the Northwest Municipal Conference Public Works
Directors have met regularly since January, 1976, for purposes
of exploring and promoting those programs and policies of
mutual interest; and
WHEREAS, the potential for Public Works emergency manpower
and equipment sharing has received considerable attention as
a necessary and worthwhile activity for the combined efforts
of the Conference municipalities; and
WHEREAS, the incidence of natural and man-made disasters in
the northwest suburban area offers particular concern for
those municipalities and those residents in need of immediate
and sustained relief in times of emergency; and
WHEREAS, most emergency situations in the Conference area
require large and timely concentrations of Public Works man-
power and appropriate equipment for such relief; and
WHEREAS, individual municipalities are not always in the
position to provide emergency concentrations of men and
equipment; and
WHEREAS, the Conference has actively pursued the formation of
an area-wide mutual aid agreement and plan for emergency
action in the area of Public Works; and
WHEREAS, the effective sharing of manpower and equipment on
an emergency basis should be free of the restrictions imposed
by economic and political considerations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT,COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS
SECTION ONE: That the Village of Mount Prospect does give
full support and approval to the development of a voluntary
area-wide mutual aid agreement for the use and exchange of
Public Works manpower and equipment on an emergency basis.
SECTION TWO: That any such voluntary exchange of manpower or
equipment on an emergency basis be at no cost to the Village,
City or Township in receipt of such services.
SECTION THREE: That the discretion for equipment use and
general assistance be the prerogative of the Director of
the Department of Public Works for the duration of voluntary
compliance with the mutual aid plan.
