In Minnesota, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) is the State Administrative Agency responsible for implementing these two key directives through administration of the Homeland Security Grant Programs. One of the kev elements of both HSPD 5 and 8 is the imolementation of the National Incident Manaaement Svstem (NfMSI. Developed by the Department of Homeland Security and issued in March 2004, the NIMS system enables responders at all jurisdictional levels and across all disciplines to efficiently work together. Beginning in fiscal year 2006, federal funding for state and local grants will be tied to compliance with the NIMS. In 1991, the State of Minnesota formalized an Incident GnmmandlManagement System--the Minnesota Incident Management System (MIMS). The MICviS system has institutionalized the principles, policies and training necessary for compliance with the new federally mandated NIMS program. The State of Minnesota, Ramsey County, and the City of Roseville have already met most of the baseline ICS (Incident Command System) requirements to comply with the new NIMS system through the MIMS. Additional NIMS requirements will be reached with ongoing updates of City and County Emergency Operations plans and staff training. Governor Tim Pawlenty, by executive order, directed a formal adoption of NIMS at the state level, and directed county and local government to likewise formally adopt NIMS as the template for Homeland 5ecuritylEmergency Management response protocols, per Presidential Directive HSPD 5 and 8. Adoption of NIMS by resolution at the local level is a base criteria put forth by Minnesota HSEM in meeting the federal NIMS requirements in 2005.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt by resolution, NIMS as the basis for all Incident Management in the City of Roseville COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Adoption by Resolution the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the basis tor all incident management in the City of Roseville (sample NIMS resolution attached).
