Director’s Report:

Fire Fighter Bill cleared the house and is now on way to the senate. This is a $7.6 billion bill to hire fire fighters over the next seven years. This bill will be on a sliding scale.

The new southeast region director is Patrick O’Connor.

Ozaukee County Emergency Management submitted the Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) FY 2003 Part II assessment on October 31, 2003.

The team trained with Port Washington Fire Department in October. The training was very well received and the fire department requested that we do a training exercise with them this spring or summer.

The team will be attending a defensive driving course taught by Lt. Hermann. In October they participated in driver obstacle course training taught by Jim Rosenberg and Lt. Hermann.

New equipment is still arriving.

Director Stolte requested the Committee review the organizational structure, as some sub-committees are not active and staff is performing the duties of the Public Awareness and Training and Exercise sub-committees. Plan Update remains active. Director Stolte recommended dropping the sub-committee format and providing the LEPC with information in Program Area Reports rather than sub-committee reports. Discussion followed.

Public Awareness Committee Report:

The public notice was published in the official county newspaper.

The Department and LEPC participated in four community Safety Day events: Mequon, Thiensville, Cedarburg and Waubeka. Director Stolte reported very good public interaction and support for the haz-mat program. Director Stolte noted that more people stopped at each individual display than with prior participation for all four days at the County Fair combined.

State won’t conduct a hazardous materials awareness week in 2004. The State will prepare and distribute awareness information that the locals will be allowed to disseminate at their discretion. The Committee concurred that this be accomplished in conjunction with the fire department Safety Days since that program is so successful.

Fran Myers recommended that since the household hazardous waste program was eliminated in the 2004 budget that we should run an article in the local newspapers regarding proper disposal of household hazardous waste. This should be coordinated with UW-Extension.

Mr. Stolte attended the ICS-Train The Trainer course in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

Director Stolte and Coordinator Fitzgerald attended the bio-terrorism region training in Washington County on November 6, 2003.

Training/Exercise planning grant is due by April, 2004. Ozaukee County is eligible for $20,729.31 under this grant.

Director’s Report:

Leeson requested that they be put on the agenda for the Sept. 22, Emergency Management Committee meeting to discuss their invoice.

Marigold and R & K Trucking paid their invoices.

Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) FY 2003 Assessment Part I involved risk and vulnerability assessments for critical facilities. Staff completed this project by the due date of August 31, 2003. The Part 1 authorized equipment is still being purchased.

Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) FY 2003 Part II is due Oct. 31, 2003. Part II of this grant deals with current capabilities versus capability needs in training and equipment county-wide. The analysis forms the basis for future training and equipment needs and grants. Part 2 equipment award is still pending as of the date of this meeting.

Members discussed confidentiality related to the Assessment programs. Some members believed that they should have full access to confidential information before they are asked to vote to authorize equipment purchases determined necessary to resolve response deficiencies. Mrs. Fitzgerald and Captain Morrison stressed that the federal government prohibits public disclosure of the assessment information as it represents a security threat. The State of Wisconsin also indicated that public release of this confidential assessment information jeopardizes public safety and is specifically excepted from disclosure by the Wisconsin Open Records Law.

FY 2002 Supplemental Funding-Planning (Additional Awards) is the result of lower than budgeted expenditures by local jurisdictions and WEM which resulted in some 2002 Supplemental funding remaining. Therefore, WEM will be able to award additional funds to the county emergency management programs.

HMEP Grant period will be from Oct. 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004. Awards are expected to range from $2,000-$10,000 depending on the scope of the proposed project. This grant will provide funding to activate the interfaces between the various modules, analyze and update data maintained in the system, thus providing immediate access to critical hazardous material response information to field units (police, fire, emergency management) via existing mobile data terminals. The amount applied for will be $9,000. This project is due Oct. 1, 2004. The grant will be awarded in November or December 2003.

2004 Budget will have to be reworked to reflect Washington County not using our services.

Level B team purchased a used Suburban, trailer and other assorted items. Membership is now at sixteen (16).

Mrs. Fitzgerald reported these incidents.

Members reviewed the County Wide Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan updates.

Director’s Report:

Shady Lane Update: Phase one is complete. The cabin has been torn down, UST’s were pulled and the miscellaneous junk, cars and scrap metal are being cleaned up.

There are currently 16 members on the Level B team. New equipment is arriving daily.

The Level B-Team will use a three tier level system for responses as listed below:

The LEPC discussed revisions to the County Ordinances to allow the Emergency Response Vehicle to be kept at the Primary Duty Officer’s residence after hours. Normally this will be the Emergency Management Director, however, during the Director’s absence would be a Deputy Director or Water Safety Patrol Captain. Members noted that the current arrangement requires the vehicle to be parked at the Rescue Boat Shed after hours. When calls are received, personnel must first respond to the Shed to get the vehicle and associated equipment. This adds 15 to 20 minutes response time to every call. In several cases, personnel had to drive past the incident to get the vehicle and then return. Allowing the Duty Officer to keep the vehicle after hours permits more rapid response to emergency situations by eliminating those problems. Revisions to ordinances will be presented to the Emergency Management committee at their next meeting.

The Federal Fiscal Year 2002 Domestic Preparedness Grant allocates Ozaukee County $57,706. This grant is 100% funded. Motion made by Jack Eckert, seconded by David Barrow to apply for this grant. All members present voting aye, motion approved.

Costs for the plan development not to exceed $9,000. Motion made by Jack Eckert, seconded by Paul Schumacher to approve the FFY2003 HMEP grant as presented. All members present voting aye, motion approved.

Due to a lack of activity, Director Stolte recommended the Committee disband the Compliance Sub-Committee. Director Stolte reported that most compliance issues are resolved by staff, thus there has been no work for the Compliance Sub-Committee to perform.

Director’s Report:

Director Stolte talked about a New York Times article on 9-11-2001. It discussed lessons to learn and necessary changes. Communications was the biggest problem.

The Emergency Management Committee approved development of the Level B team.

Members agreed that the team must be made up of personnel from a variety of departments. We will need good coordination and development to build confidence in the team. We also need to set up a regular day and time for training.

The State of Wisconsin recommended a change in the DPE grant format for Ozaukee County. Since the Level B Team is not fully functional, they recommended listing the equipment purchases under Fire Services rather than Emergency Management to avoid any potential delays in the award process. Director Stolte concurred with the change and received the grant award for $36,000 in Domestic Preparedness Equipment for Ozaukee County.

Director Stolte presented the 2003 Budget for the SARA program. Director Stolte informed the LEPC that the Emergency Management Committee reviewed and approved the budget at their meeting on Monday July 8^th.

William Stolte David Haas Glenda Madlom

Also present: Mary Fitzgerald

Mrs. Fitzgerald presented off-site plan updates for the following facilities:

Cedarburg Wells 4, 5, 6 and Barthel Fruit Farm.

Mrs. Myers noted that at the last County Board meeting, Sheriff Straub commended the Emergency Management Department for the dedicated efforts through several critical situations that arose over the past year.

Director’s Report:

Domestic Preparedness Equipment Sub-Grant :

Copies of the grant application and equipment list were handed out. There are three options for this grant.

1. Don’t accept money.
2. Plan to disburse money to eligible agencies.
3. Use fund to buy equipment that can be used by all the county agencies.

There are 44 agencies eligible for the grant. Each option was discussed. Mr. Stolte recommends that part of grant be used to buy personal protection equipment (emergency escape masks) to be kept in each law enforcement squad and that the balance of funding purchase domestic preparedness response equipment available to any community in the County upon request to the Emergency Management Department. Emergency Management will stockpile and maintain the equipment and train personnel in proper use. Law enforcement agencies’ personnel must attend training to get masks.

The committee also discussed the possible need for a trailer or larger truck for equipment transport during responses. Mr. Stolte advised such purchases are not eligible expenses under the current grant programs. Committee members discussed centralized storage for the equipment cache. Mr. Stolte and Captain Morrison advised that the proposed equipment may be stored at the Boat Shed without interfering with Boat operations.

Level B Team Development:

Plans are still under development for initiation of a County-wide Level B Team. Mr. Stolte proposed trying to get one or two people from each fire department to be on team. Staff is investigating a number of issues, including:

Director’s Report:

EPCRA and Emergency Management Assistance 4^th quarter report approved by the region office.

2002 HMEP grant for storm sewer mapping on the intranet was accepted by the state for $5,000.00.

2002 computer and equipment grant is due by the end of February. Total of $10,000.00 is available including a maximum of $2,000 for computer equipment, with the balance for haz-mat response equipment.

There are still many logistical things to work out for a Level B team. Mequon and Thiensville Police departments have expressed an interest in the team. We can charge for responses by the Level B team. The team would only stop a leak, not get involved in clean up.

Mr. Stolte reported these incidents.
