Resolution No. 2024-0012
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE COUNTYWIDE COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS PLAN (CEOP)
WHEREAS, a Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is required by several state and
federal laws including Minnesota Statutes Chapter 12, Section 12.25 and Title VI of the PL 100-707, the
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (USC 68, sec, 5121 et seq); and
WHEREAS, for two decades, Ramsey County has adopted a countywide approach to emergency
operations planning. This approach saves money for all municipalities and county government agencies
by reducing duplicated efforts and by streamlining both training and exercises/practice. It leads to saving
lives, property, and the environment through a common language and a common concept of operations;
and
WHEREAS, this amended Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) is a complete rewrite of
the existing document considering lessons learned from real world emergencies that have impacted our
community over the past several years, reflecting necessary changes to our operational processes and
directs attention to our most vulnerable communities; and
WHEREAS, this CEOP was developed with the input of many affected Ramsey County agencies and
from our municipal partners, as well as outside subject matter experts to better prepare the city for
disasters in the decades to come;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Gem Lake City Council hereby adopts the newly
amended countywide Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) as the Emergency Operations
Plan for the City; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Gem Lake City Council authorizes the Mayor, and the emergency
manager to promulgate this Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP) to all city agencies and
departments.
The motion for adoption of the foregoing Resolution was duly proposed by Councilmember Lindner and
seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo, and upon vote being taken thereon, the Resolution passed with a
vote of 5 in favor and 0 against.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Gem Lake, Minnesota, this 18th day of June 2024.
