Comm. Minutes--November 6, 1990 561 22. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FY 1991, Agreement approved subject to States Attorney review Bob Hoy, States Attorney, said the contract includes a detailed work plan. By signing the contract, Cass County Emergency Management is: 1) agreeing to perform all items outlined in the work plan; 2) requesting federal money be made available to Cass County Emergency Management and agreeing to account for the money and handle funds in accordance with the contract. Mr. Hoy questioned what parts of the work plan are federally mandated and what parts are not. Glenn Ellingsberg, Emergency Manager, said emergency management funding at the federal level is done through a civil defense act. The federal government writes a contract with each state. Cass County Emergency Management uses the state's work plan drawn up for each county and remodeled to suit county needs. The work plans developed by the state are done on a computer basis which is the reason for such detail. Therefore, compliance in all areas must be met or funding could be withheld. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Toussaint seconded to authorize signing the Emergency Management agreement, and that Glenn Ellingsberg work with the States Attorney to develop an understanding for the Commission of what is required by statute and what is administrative rule. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 23.
