A) Approve A Memorandum Of Understanding With The Dekalb County Emergency Services And Disaster Agency
In 1976, DeKalb County created an Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (E.S.D.A.) in order to combine all emergency preparedness programs, including civil defense. The purpose of E.S.D.A. is to mitigate potential hazards, plan for, coordinate, respond to and aid in recovery from all disaster situations whether natural or man-made.
In the past, the City has signed the Memorandum of Understanding for intergovernmental cooperation with the County E.S.D.A. program, given the many benefits of the collaboration. The Memorandum of Understanding in the packet would renew this partnership. As the Memorandum of Understanding states, the DeKalb County E.S.D.A. has the means to assist in creation of emergency plans, provide assistance during emergency and disaster situations, and assist in requests for assistance of State or Federal Agencies. The County therefore would be a resource in emergency assistance and response, as well as an agency to seek reimbursement after an emergency or disaster via State and Federal financial assistance programs.
B) Approve A Statement Of Work With Lauterbach And Amen, Llp, Not To Exceed $3,840
For a number of years, Lauterbach and Amen has prepared the City’s report for other post employment benefits (OPEB). This is required to account for potential long-term debt such as pensions (both IMRF and police). They have submitted a Statement of Work / Engagement Letter to once again prepare the actuarial report for OPEB requirements for the fiscal years ended in 2023 and 2024. This is for a full report on the GASB 74/75 Actuarial Reports for OPEB in FY23 and a Limited Report in FY24 - for Long Term Debt, which explains the cost difference between the two years.
C) Approve The Purchase Of Residential Water Meter Setters From Fergusson Waterworks, Not To Exceed $12,614
