A. MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

1. THE MINUTES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEETING

2. THE ACCOUNTS PAYABLES DATED SEPTEMBER 31, 2025

3. APPOINT ZACH DAVIS TO THE POLICE AND FIRE COMMISSION

4. A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE COUNTY, CITIES, TOWNS, AND VILLAGES IN THE COUNTY OF DEKALB, STATE OF ILLINOIS

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. This replaces the 2023 Agreement previously approved by Council.
