070188 011.Charter OrdinanceA charter ordinance relating to emergency management services.

Minutes note: Appearance: Daniel Alexander, Homeland Security Director, Department of Administration. Mr. Alexander reported the changes to Chapter 6 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances were to update the Emergency Management Services section of the code as required by s. 166 of the Wis., State Statutes indicating every municipality must have an emergency management program. According to Mr. Alexander, the current charter ordinance was created in 1949, with its last substantial updates and revisions in 1975. Mr. Alexander informed the committee that his office met with the City Clerk, City Attorney, Fire Department, Police Department, Health Department, Department of Public Works and the Department of Employee Relations to establish emergency guidelines consistent with today’s environment. The revision of the ordinance basically outlines the responsibilities of the Common Council and the Mayor during periods of extreme emergencies and identifies those times in which those bodies are able to act under emergency powers. It also incorporates some of the current operating principles of the National Incident Management System and requires city departments have continuity of operation plans developed in the event of an emergency and in the event their facilities become unusable that would allow them to relocate to effectively continue to provide services.
