BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Wright County Emergency Management Division is responsible for maintaining an Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP) for the County. The EOP includes emergency response for cities and townships in
the County. The EOP was most recently updated in December 2014, and it will continue to be updated
periodically. Wright County's Emergency Management Coordinator Steve Berg oversees the County's
emergency response functions and the EOP.
In the past Otsego adopted and maintained a separate City Emergency Operations Plan. That plan was
last updated on March 8, 2010. In lieu of duplicating efforts and updating that plan, it will be most
efficient to adopt the Wright County EOP and, in the future, add appendices for City specific items as
needed. This is the method recommended by Steve Berg and the method used by most Wright County
cities.
Eric Bullen, Albertville Fire Chief is leading the emergency management operations for both Albertville
and Otsego. Chief Bullen placed this item on the Albertville City Council agenda for consideration on
June 1 at which time the Albertville City Council adopted the EOP. Chief Bullen will be at Monday's
meeting to provide an overview of the EOP and to answer your questions regarding emergency
response.
