EsplunntioNSummary (alumh supplvment sheets ns necessary.) S ihtl 11IARy; Since Summer, Dave Brick, the City's Emergency Services Officer, has been working with Ramsey County to review the emergency plans for the three manufactured home parks in the City. The review is a result of meetings between representatives of the Home Parks, Ramsey County, Geri Evans, Dick Wedell and City staff, the review process determined that the current emergency plans are inadequate to meet the needs of the approximately 1,600 people residing in the three Home Parks. The recommendation from Lt. Brick is that the plans be disapproved and action taken to inform Ramsey County so that the owners of the Parks can work with Ramsey County to develop alternative plans to meet appropriate safety standards. Since it is Ramsey County who has jurisdiction over the licensing and operations of the Parks, the City's responsibility in this matter is to review the Plans and approve or disapprove. Once the City disapproves the Plans, the County is informed and the process of working out a new, acceptable (to City, County and residents of the Parks) plan begins with the County as the lead governmental entity. The purpose of reviewing the plans and determining their acceptability is to provide for the safety of the people living in the Parks. To this end, the Council is requested to disapprove, by resolution at the November 8, 1993 Council Meeting, the emergency plans of all three manufactured homes in the Park. Disapproval may result in the construction of site shelters or in a revised evacuation plan that is more time and space sensitive. Samantha Ord no, City Administrator ItIS('U V 1R?NUA'1'U)N:
