Nothing to report.
Sklar reported she is currently working with the hospitals and Public Health to assist them in meeting their requirements. She and T. Wise mentioned the recent full scale exercise involving St. Clare Hospital, enacting a bomb going off at the fairgrounds during an event, and there was supposedly a dirty bomb involved, so the question was raised as to who can check radiation levels and Sklar mentioned that Joe Lally of Public Health is certified, but he lives in Juneau County and that the State has a resource, Mr. Paul Schmidt.
It was announced that John Carroll is retiring. L. Volz mentioned that there was some talk about recycling and talk about who would take Carroll's spot. Discussion followed on what people are doing with their items now. Apparently there was some talk of an every other year Clean Sweep. W. Frank offered to become involved in this. L. Volz said he would talk to Corporation Counsel to see what they have to say about the legalities.
The subject of a Level B Team was brought up and discussed. D. Nimmow commented that we should keep bringing this up to County Board.
W. Frank reported concern at Redstone with water and the runoff that is coming off the watershed into the lake.
S. Sukup talked about their recent tabletop. The scenario was the pneumonic plague; good discussions came out of it.
