Recommended Action:
Consider Authorizing Participation in the Illinois Telecommunicator Emergency Response Task Force
History and Fact:
The Illinois Telecommunicator Emergency Response Task Force (IL-TERT) is a mutual aid program which was formed in 2006 to provide for the rapid response of highly qualified teams of telecommunicators to emergency situations in or out of Illinois. In order to participate in the program, either to render or receive the highest level of assistance, an intergovernmental agreement must be approved by the City.
Discussion:
The IL-TERT Intergovernmental Agreement specifies the responsibility of the parties, operational procedures, and compensation associated for providing assistance. Several of the City's telecommunicators already have the years of service, certifications and training recommended for participation. Participants are not mandated to respond to deployments and the City reserves the right to refuse to render assistance when necessary.
Recommendation:
Approve a Resolution Authorizing the Execution of the Illinois Telecommunicator Emergency Response Task Force Intergovernmental Agreement.
