To:Mayor & City Council, City of Otsego
, City AdministratorAdam Flaherty
FR:Jerry Streich
First of all, I want to thank you for selecting my firm to assist you in evaluating your
public safety plans. Ensuring your community receives proper support during an
emergency is a fundamental responsibility of the local government. When a community
disaster strikes, an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)defines the essential functions
and tasks of the City of Otsego staff and City Council.It also identifies the community
partners who can assist in mitigating the emergency.It is crucial to have everyone
know their roles and responsibilities during a community incident.
I will outline my initial evaluation of your emergency response plan and the fire
department contracts during the upcoming work session.Your community relies on
contracted partners to provide public safety services.In 2018, the city evaluated your
current fire & rescue services and made recommendations.I am hopeful that you can
outline your priorities for me during the meeting so I can stay focused on what is
important to you.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. If you have any questions before the work
session, please contact Administrator Flaherty, and he will contact me.
