VII. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
City Manager Mermuys reported:
i. Over the past week, 2 of the top 5 wettest month of May in recorded history in Illinois took place, breaking all previous rainfall records. Wood Dale was hit hard by these storms. Salt Creek quickly hit flood stage and the Reservoir took on a massive volume of water. The City reacted quickly enacting its Emergency Operations Procedures. Sandbags were proactively made available and placed in strategic locations throughout the City for Residents to use. Areas and streets affected by the flooding were closed off by the Public Works Dept. and Police Dept. Emergency communications were used to broadcast to Residents by the City’s website, Social Media, and Reverse 911 System. The Police Dept. is collecting data about localized residential flooding, which the Public Works Dept. will use to determine where additional locations are needed for sandbags to be placed for residents to use in the future. The next Phase of the Stormwater Improvements is set to begin at the Western end of Ward 2/3.
ii. Manager Mermuys deferred the remaining 2 items of the City Managers Report to Police Chief Vesta to Report. Police Chief Vesta reported the Police Dept. was scheduled for a 4 year onsite Assessment by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The Police Dept. has held Accreditation since 2001. Due to Covid-19, along with other adjustments having to be made to continue all the services for the residents and handle emergencies, the Accreditation requirements had to be converted to a complete virtual and online format for assessment. The assessment went well and was completed this week. A written Report will be issued in 30-45 days which will be shared with everyone. We look forward to receiving our 7th Accreditation in July.
iii. While Wood Dale is disappointed to not be able to host the Memorial Day Parade and honor those that have sacrificed everything for our Country, we have worked with the VFW to present a very small Flag and salute ceremony with a small number of their Members that will take place on Monday. It will be memorialized in a video that will be posted to the City’s Social Media pages and YouTube Monday afternoon. As much as the City would love to have the public attend in person, we are working within the current State guidelines, and feel this video is the best way to be able to have everyone share and remember our fallen.
