a
CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT.' 'Alderman Czubakowski made the following report: This is
by way of an informational report. Last week the question of the lack of progress
of local civil defense was raised by one of the local newspapers. The civil
defense committee can't help but wonder why:aomeone from that paper didn't see
fit to contact some member of the committee, since wer'wereall easily available
for several days before the paper came out, but since no one did, we would like
at this time to give what facts we would have given to the paper, had they called.
When we took over this committee early last summer we investigated emergency
preparations in this area. We found that a medical group has been formed at
several hospitals in this vicinity and they are organized to supply first-aid
and medical treatment in case of emergency. The red Cross has agreed to supply
food,.shelter and clothing. Our police department informed this committee that
they have enough regular and reserve policemen who are trained in handling traffic
and who could be called in in case of disaster. The police said they would not
require 'civil defense volunteers to help in traffic direction.
What the, the committee asked, is left for the local civil defense to do.
Mrs. Tarbert, director of Des Plaines civil defense, said she had been speaking
before various area groups about civil defense and -had held some training
classes. Some months ago'we suggested that she write a short weekly column for
both local newspapers, giving homeowners helpful information on how to prepare,
provision and protect themselves in case of an emergency. She agreed to do this.
However, no such column has yet been forthcoming.
The matter of a disaster truck was put before the committee by Mrs. Tarbert.
We had several meetings with her and two or three young men who Wirt .members
of the local CD corp. 'We asked Mrs. Tarbert to get us information on the
possibility of getting matching funds for such a vehicle and on how to go about
it. We also asked her, to find out from other nearby cities who have such a
vehicle just what kind ,of equipment is carried that Des Plaines does not already
carry on its fire and police department vehibles, what -kind of insurance is
carried on civilian volunteers who man such disaster vehicles, what the cost of
such a truck would be, etc. We told her this information must be in the committee's
hands before we put together the CD budget for 1964, since any expenditure planned
in 1964 must be shown in the'appropration approved by city council the first
of the year. We never received a bit of this information. -
Meanwhile, the committee checked with city comptroller Ed Bach concerning insurance
for non-employee civilian volunteers operating such a vehicle. Mr. Bach told us
such volunteers would not be covered under workman's compensation or any other
policy the city held. A special policy would have to be written, and it would
be quite expensive, he said.
4 -
Civil Defense report.continued:
3/16/6z i 9.
The committee then went to -Fire Chief Ray Kolze, who is also assistant civil
defense director, and asked'his opinion'on the -need for such.a truck. He said
it would be very nice to have, but-he`would not -make a -strong recommendation
for the equipment. His 'zeal cooled even further when he and Mrs. Tarbert clashed
over what kind of personnel would Man -the truck. Kolze said he didn't want
"youngsters" operating the disaster equipment and insisted he be allowed to
choose and train the operators. Mrs. Tarbert-insisted that she would appoint
the volunteers who would man the truck -and noted the young men, to whose youth
Kolze objected, were loyal civil defense workers who had been in the organization
for some time.
No further information was forthcoming from the civil defense group, and since
Kolze had inspected such a truck ina. nearby city and told us it would be.quite
expensive, the committee went no further with the matter; since it could not
justify this expenditure with little or no information and with the knowledge
that there are many places for every dollar of -the city's income and much equip-
ment that is needed for every -day use is by-passed'each year because the city
cannot afford it without substantial tax increases. The report was placed on file.
APPROVAL OF BILLS. Alderman Prickett presented the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF DES PLAINES
THAT THE FOLLOWING BILLS ARE DUE AND PAY
ABLE AND THAT THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK BE
AND HEREBY ARE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE PAYMENT
FOR SAME.
Total: $38,780.18. The motion was made by Alderman Prickett and seconded by
Luellen to adopt the resolution. The Mayor put the question and the Clerk called
the roll with the following results: Ayes: Alderman Rateike, Wright, Prickett,
Luellen, Leer, Shillington, Figard, Carroll, Czubakowski, French, Swanson, Martin,
and Bonaguidi. Nays: None. The Mayor declared the motion carried.
