March 14, 2007
Integrated Internal Communication and Protocol for Elected Officials Relating to
Emergency Response and Crime Prevention (Proposed Notification Policy)
WHEREAS, Cities around the United States and world are using technology to improve
interaction with the public, streamline internal operations, enhance productivity of city
staff, and improve internal communications as well as external communications, it is
only fitting and right that we support the City of Ithaca in the development of such a plan
for both its internal and external communications functions; and;
WHEREAS, The Mayor's Office, Human Resources, Information Technology, Ithaca
Fire Department, Ithaca Police Department, City Clerk/Emergency Public Information
Officer, and other key departments have been meeting and discussing internal and
external communication protocol over several years; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has also looked at a variety of models and plans for
establishing such a protocol, particularly for internal notification as it relates to a plan for
appropriately advising elected officials at the City and all staff; and;
WHEREAS, Members of Common Council recognize that numerous employees and
key city officials have been working with the Mayor to identify various techniques and
protocols as well as receiving extensive training on these important matters; and,
WHEREAS, Over the past few years, Common Council members have been working
diligently to uphold their sworn duties to inform their many publics and constituents of
the various threats to public health, safety, and any increase in criminal offenses within
the City; and;
WHEREAS, In the past few months, Ithaca has witnessed an increase of violent crime
and emergency situations that alarm our constituents and increase their desire for
information from their elected leaders prior to the release of this information to the news
media; and;
WHEREAS, Unfortunately, some members of Common Council find out this information
by either reading a newspaper or listening to the radio and in numerous cases, both
recently and over the past few years, Common Council members are often "not in the
information loop," and this is a cause for serious concern and;
WHEREAS, Members of Common Council request that there be a plan in place for
integrated internal communication protocols which actively engage Common Council
members within the hour of those threats to human life or other incidents which would
cause alarm, worry, or fear in those constituencies served; and
WHEREAS, Common Council members wish to work in partnership with the Mayor,
Department heads, and other key city officials to ensure that the public is best served
with timely information, now therefore be it
3
March 14, 2007
RESOLVED, That Common Council members wish to be identified as critical
components in the notification process as soon as events unfold that key emergency
personnel and other crisis responders are privy to; and; be it further
RESOLVED, That Common Council hereby requests that such a plan for Integrated
Internal Communication and Protocol for Elected Officials Relating to Emergency
Response and Crime Prevention be made public and official by February 2007 and that
whatever protocols that the Mayor and staff decide are most appropriate for the City of
Ithaca, that at minimum, Common Council members are notified by telephone via their
cell phones (or home phones if a cell phone is not in the possession of said Council
Member) within the hour of those threats to human life or other incidents which would
cause alarm, worry, fear, or other major disruptions or inconvenience to those
constituents and neighborhoods served, and that elected representatives of the affected
ward are included in any electronic correspondence with the media, and responding
departments as they pertain to resolution of incidents, and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution are forwarded to every City Department and
Deputy Department Head.
Chair Clairborne noted that this Resolution was referred to the committee for further
consideration.
Committee members expressed their concerns with the current language and stated
that further discussion with city staff was needed to clarify items such as:
• Desired and available methods of communications
• The role of Common Council members in an emergency situation
• Types and complexity of events that Council members want to be notified of
• Resource availability to make notifications
Fire Chief Wilbur, Police Chief Signer, and City Clerk Holcomb explained that this
protocol, as currently worded, would be very difficult for them to comply with. They
voiced their understanding of the impact that the lack of information sharing has on
elected officials and expressed their interest in working collaboratively with the
Committee to find an appropriate solution.
Tompkins County Reverse 911 Project:
City Clerk Holcomb reported that she has had conversations with Tompkins County ITS
Director Greg Potter and Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response
(DoER) Director Lee Shurtleff regarding the County's Reverse 911 Project. She
explained that the DoER received grant funding and is considering how to use it for a
Reverse 911 software product. The County is currently considering either the outright
purchase of software and equipment that would be operated by the 911 Center or the
purchase of a web-based product that would be hosted off-site with an annual
subscription fee.
4
March 14, 2007
City Clerk Holcomb reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and
expressed her interest in the web-based product due to its potential use as an
emergency notification tool as well as a powerful public information tool that could be
used for operational communications with the community. She stated that the County
had negotiated a $22,000 annual subscription fee for one of the products, and asked
the Committee to consider either investing in a web-based product with the County or
purchasing it outright if the County was not able to implement the project due to
financial sustainability issues.
Incident Command System (ICS) Training Opportunities
City Clerk Holcomb reported that the City is in possession of the ICS 402 training
materials. The 402 training was designed to educate Elected Officials about the
Incident Command System and the important roles they fill during an emergency. This
training is required under the Federal National Incident Management System (NIMS)
mandate.
City Clerk Holcomb questioned whether Council would prefer to be trained as a group in
a Committee of the Whole setting or in a series of training sessions. Discussion
followed on the floor and it was decided that a Committee of the Whole format would be
most appropriate and the City Clerk was directed to start looking for an available
training date.
ADJOURNMENT:
On a motion the meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
