City Administrator Wade explains this partnership aims to enhance the City's disaster planning and emergency response capabilities. The initiative, strongly recommended by the Police Department, will improve the City's ability to secure reimbursements during declared disaster events and provide valuable training and support to department heads, including police, public works, and the building department. JEMS will assist with updating emergency manuals and provide both on-site and behind-the- scenes support during emergencies. The City will join JEMS jointly with the Fire Department, which will contribute 25% of the annual membership cost. This is a long- term commitment, with membership expected to become a requirement for all Northwest Central member agencies.

Milwaukee Avenue; seconded by Alderman Ward 2 Anderson. There was unanimous approval. 

The Council reviewed a proposed re-subdivision submitted by Sky Harbor to clean up outdated property lines near Chicago Executive Airport. The re-subdivision involves a land swap of two identical triangular parcels between Sky Harbor and the 1098 Aviation Plaza Center, creating more logical and functional property boundaries. The revised plat preserves necessary access points to Milwaukee Avenue and avoids the loss of parking spaces for the 1098 building. The Council recommended approval of the plat pending final review by the city engineer, noting only minor clerical revisions were made. This re-subdivision is the first step in Sky Harbor's broader development plans.
