Stieve talked about the recent Mass Vaccination exercise that the Health Department held.
K. Stieve reported on a September training, a refresher course on how to use the Draeger Test Kit.
Lombard reported that the clean sweep in September was a huge success and there is talk about continuing it. John Carroll is trying to lay the foundation.
w Nimmow has not yet looked into forklift batteries, but
will do so. He raised the question of having a generic plan
to deal with meth labs and said we have a responsibility to
County employees who deal with this problem, to protect them
from meth lab hazards. K. Stieve pointed out that the State
deals with the meth labs. Discussion then took place on educating
the public on this and K. Stieve suggested the Public Education
sub-committee look into this. Lombard suggested utilizing the
radio stations to promote awareness and T. Stieve noted that
any training should be coordinated with Law Enforcement, as
they do training on these labs.
w Seering asked who appoints the LEPC members and T. Stieve explained that
the names are presented to the County Board and then it goes to the State.
w Muchow stated that in looking at the aftermath of the recent hurricanes there didn’t seem to be much knowledge as to the types of chemicals that might have been stored in certain warehouses, businesses, etc and that Sauk County is fortunate to have the LEPC.
w Farber mentioned the formation of the VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) for Sauk County and explained how this would benefit all the volunteer organizations by avoiding duplication of efforts.
w Hill, on the same note of the meth labs, mentioned the Pictometry demo that took place early this year which was a computer-aided program that can be used in a chemical situation and T. Stieve explained the csts associated with this type of program.
