Title
Substitute resolution relating to a mutual aid agreement with health departments within the Milwaukee/Waukesha Consortium for Emergency Public Health Preparedness.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Health Department to enter into a mutual aid agreement with health departments within the Milwaukee/Waukesha County Consortium for Emergency Public Health Preparedness.
Body
Whereas, Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties are susceptible to public health emergencies, disasters and other mass casualty-producing events, both natural and man-made, and events of public health need that could exceed response capabilities of any individual local health department; and
Whereas, Chapters 66 and 251, Wis. Stats., provide the authority for local public health departments in Wisconsin to enter into agreements and coalesce with each other for the receipt or furnishing of services, or joint exercise of any power or duty required or authorized by law; and
Whereas, Health departments located in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties wish to enter into a mutual aid agreement for emergency public health preparedness; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Health Department is authorized to enter into a mutual aid agreement with participating health departments within the Milwaukee/Waukesha Consortium for Emergency Public Health Preparedness, a copy of which is attached to this file.
