DRAFTMINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF LA VERGNE, TENNESSEE ON OCTOBER 12, 2011 IN LA VERGNE CITY HALL, LA VERGNE, TENNESSEE. The La Vergne Local Emergency Planning Committee met in a regular meeting on October 12, 2011, in La Vergne City Hall starting at 3:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Chris Farmer. Members Present The following members were present: Chairman Chris Farmer, Vice-Chairman Richard McCormick, Lloyd Adkins, Thomas Champagne, Julia Hill, Price Justice, Steve Mayer, Lynn Ruch, Mike Walker, and Victor Woods. Others present included Jack Murphy on behalf of the Red Cross and City Recorder Bruce Richardson. Approve Minutes A motion was made by Lloyd Adkins, seconded by Lynn Ruch, to approve the minutes of the August 31, 2011 Regular Meeting, was adopted with all voting AYE. NEW BUSINESS 1. Recommendation to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen - Warning System

Bids. Vice-Chairman McCormick made some comments regarding the status of this project. He stated that it is now a discussion of going to a system with one siren at the park. He stated that at this point, there is no direction from the city council as to what direction to go in. He stated that the recommendation of the Local Emergency Planning Committee was to award the bid to McCord for the full warning system, including sirens, callback system, lightning detection and installation, all in one package. Mr. Steve Mayer stated that the board did vote to remove the opportunity to purchase the system as a sole source purchase. He stated that the previous approvals of the purchase as a sole source were rescinded, which opened up the project for sealed bids. He stated that some of the bidders did not follow the bid procedures and some systems were not adequate. He stated that McCord was chosen by the LEPC, but the city council has some questions about the financing. He stated that previously, McCord had included the financing at a rate of just over 3%. He stated that the city has requested quotes from twelve different banks and four have responded. He stated that those rates ranged between two percent and five percent. He stated that he spoke to the regional

Page 2

sales representative and went over the status with him. He stated that his concern about the single siren in the park is that the people that would be served by the system are the people who are gathered together at the park, who have access to cell phones, out in the weather and can see what is coming, get to their vehicles and get away from the storm. He stated that those people are the ones that are the most acutely aware of the weather conditions. Mr. Greg Skinner arrived. Mr. Mayer stated that the people this system is for is for those who can hear a siren from a distance. Chairman Chris Farmer stated that he can’t see just protecting the park. He stated that a lot of people don’t go to the park and a lot of the park visitors are from out of town. Mr. Mayer stated that a lot of people in the area would be aware of the problem. He stated that the information should be passed along to those at the schools. He stated that he is committed to a city-wide all hazards warning system. He stated that anything less would be shortchanging the citizens in the city. Mr. Ruch stated that it is similar to the Police Department spending money on bulletproof vests and training. He stated that most will go through their career without being shot, but you need to be prepared. He stated that you spend money on vests for protection that we hope never comes. He stated that people have cell phones and TV’s that can warn people of weather. He stated that there could be gas and chemical leaks, runaways, and even things that haven’t been discussed at this point that could facilitate a warning. Mr. Victor Woods stated that the city needs to be prepared for something that could happen. Mr. Mayer stated that he feels it is important for this committee to submit their thoughts and reasons for wanting an all-hazards system. A motion was made by Steve Mayer, seconded by Mike Walker, to poll the committee as to their feelings on whether an all hazards warning system is needed, was adopted with all voting AYE. Chief Mike Walker stated that the city needs the full system. He stated that there are two ways to look at it. He stated that as a resident, who pays taxes like everyone else, putting one at the ballpark does him no good where he lives. He stated that there was a tornado within a quarter mile of him last spring. He stated that one siren would have done him no good. He stated that it came up so quickly, that without any warning, kids at a ballpark would have still been in the dugouts when the storm came up. He stated that it should be a complete system or none at all. He stated that one siren is not going to do what is needed. He stated that he understands the issues with going city-wide,


Page 3

but putting one in place at the park is not going to work. He stated that he would be upset if there is one siren that serves Lake Forest and not his side of town. He stated that the schools need to be protected and everyone in the city needs to be protected. Chairman Chris Farmer stated that it should be all or none. Mr. Steve Mayer stated that his thoughts are along the same line as Chief Walker. He stated that it should be all or none. Mr. Thomas Champagne asked about the cost of the startup software. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that if the city just put one in the park, the whole infrastructure would still have to be installed. He stated that the price for one siren would be approximately $150,000. Chairman Farmer stated that it would cost more to install additional sirens in the future. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that it would cost more if you put them in gradually. He stated that this system has gone up in price approximately 22% in the four and a half years since the city started looking at this project. Mr. Mayer stated that as far as cost, the entire system would cost approximately $62,000 per year, which equates to about $2 per person, per year. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that it would be less than one cent of our tax rate. Chairman Farmer stated that the funds are already in the budget. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that the city will not be paying for the system until after installation, and the first payment would not be due for one year until after it is completely installed. Mr. Mayer stated that this is not a spur of the moment purchase. He stated that many years of work and thought have gone into this project. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that Metro Nashville is installing siren numbers 75 and 76 to their system. He stated that their system did not adequately cover their city. He stated that they are now installing them out by the lake where people are the most vulnerable. Mr. Mayer asked if their system had verbal enunciators. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated yes. Chief Walker stated that text messaging and email is not the most efficient system. He stated that when the storm popped up at the park, about five minutes after it hit, he received the warnings from WSMV, the Weather Channel and Channel 5. He stated that it was after the storm had hit and was over. He stated that some people don’t have TV’s. He stated that if they have TV’s, they may not be on or on a different channel and not see the warning. Mr. Mayer stated that the monitoring systems don’t see all of the storms. He stated that someone has to see it and call it in. Chairman Farmer stated that most of the members have been around a tornado. He stated that if one hits, cell phone service would be out.

Page 4

Blair Road area and the city put one siren at the park, he would be upset. He stated that the city needs to get the whole system or nothing at all. Chairman Farmer stated that you cannot put a price on anybody’s life. Chief Walker stated that it doesn’t matter if it is a kid at the park or the seniors at their center. Mr. Woods stated that with all of the shift work in La Vergne, there is always someone sleeping. Chief Walker asked how much it would cost to put a weather radio in everyone’s home. Mr. Mayer stated that it would probably be approximately $250,000. Chairman Farmer stated that people would just turn them off if the alarm kept going off and it wouldn’t help them. Mr. Mayer stated that those warnings are for regional areas, not local areas. Mr. Woods stated that it needs to be all or none. Mr. Lloyd Adkins stated that it needs to be all or none. He stated that one siren is not going to work. Chief Walker stated that the system can be used for so much more than just weather. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that the city could utilize the callback system probably every day. He stated that the system has unlimited callbacks. Mr. Mayer stated that the system could be targeted to the neighborhoods that are affected by an emergency. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that it is for all hazards and is a public notification system. Chief Walker asked about the maintenance. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that it is included in the contract. He stated that there are three years of the callback system included in the price. He stated that lightning detection is included for either three years or five years, then the city would start paying a fee for that. Mr. Mayer stated that it is a small, inexpensive option and not the most important part. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that our biggest industrial user is wanting to buy one for their plant and tie into the city’s system. He stated that industry has bought into this. Chief Walker asked how difficult it would be for the schools to tap into the system. Mr. Mayer stated that they could get a call from the system. He stated that it is an opt-in system.

A motion was made by Mike Walker, seconded by Lynn Ruch, to send a recommendation to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen that the entire system be installed or none at all. Vice-Chairman McCormick requested that the minutes from this meeting be forwarded to the city council members. Mr. Skinner asked if any of this money could be subsidized by FEMA, TEMA, etc. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that they have looked at all avenues for funding. He stated that the Christy-Houston Foundation was willing to fund the project for the entire county if everyone wanted to do it. He stated that grants have been looked at. He stated that it was added to the five year plan. He stated that it is already in the budget. Mr. Skinner asked if the city has looked at trimming department budgets to fund it. Mr. Mayer stated that the departments already did that for the radio system. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that he didn’t know if the council understood that there is a 12 month arrears for payments. He stated that the payments won’t hit until a year after the system is installed. Mr. Ruch stated that the perception on the street is that it is only good for storm warnings. He stated that there has to be a way to get the word out that it has many uses. He stated that this is not just one line of operation. He stated that it is essentially ten years of life support.


Page 6

Chief Walker stated that there is no way to know. He stated that it could be 8 years before a life could be saved, you never know. He asked how you could put a cost on someone’s life. The motion to send the recommendation to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to install the entire system or none at all, was adopted with all voting AYE. 2. City Emergency Operations Plan. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that this project has been started, stopped, started, stopped, etc. He stated that this committee needs full attendance to get this plan completed. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that the lack of a plan will start affecting grants. He stated that if the city doesn’t stay in compliance with training and operations plans, the city may not receive future funding and the city could lose any current funding. He stated that some departments have turned in their work. He asked the other departments to pleas turn in their plans as soon as possible. Mr. Mayer asked which departments have already submitted their plans. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that Fire, EMS and Haz-Mat are the only three that have submitted. He stated that if anyone needs a copy of the current county plan, we can get a copy for you. He stated that the city is taking the county’s plan and modifying it for La Vergne’s needs. 3. Other Business Mr. Richardson explained the new attendance policy that was adopted by the city council. Vice-Chairman McCormick stated that several of the members did notify that they would be unable to attend for various reasons. Chairman Farmer stated that the city probably needs to ask Rescue to replace Chris Schmidt. Mr. Mayer suggested sending a letter to the director to ask for a new representative.

c. The Grantee’s failure to provide a final grant disbursement reconciliation report to the

state as required shall result in the Grantee being deemed ineligible for reimbursement under this Grant Contract, and the Grantee shall be required to refund any and all payments by the state pursuant to this Grant Contract.

such a way that reimbursable expenditures and revenue collections are NOT carried forward.

All instructions, notices, consents, demands, or other communications shall be considered effectively given upon receipt or recipient confirmation as may be required.

E.3. Subject to Funds Availability. The Grant Contract is subject to the appropriation and availability of

State and/or Federal funds. In the event that the funds are not appropriated or are otherwise unavailable, the State reserves the right to terminate the Grant Contract upon written notice to the Grantee. Said termination shall not be deemed a breach of contract by the State. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Grantee shall cease all work associated with the Grant Contract. Should such an event occur, the Grantee shall be entitled to compensation for all satisfactory and authorized services completed as of the termination date. Upon such termination, the Grantee shall have no right to recover from the State any actual, general, special, incidental, consequential, or any other damages whatsoever of any description or amount.

Nothing in this paragraph shall permit Grantee to disclose any information that is confidential under federal or state law or regulations, regardless of whether it has been disclosed or made available to the Grantee due to intentional or negligent actions or inactions of agents of the State or third parties. It is expressly understood and agreed the obligations set forth in this section shall survive the termination of this Grant Contract.

E.6. Debarment and Suspension. The Grantee certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it,
