Section 207.01: ADOPTION OF STATUTE. The Division of Emergency Management
Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 12, insofar as it relates to cities, is adopted by reference as part
of this ordinance as fully as if set forth explicitly herein.
Section 207.02: CREATION OF AGENCY. There is hereby created within the City

control of a Director of Emergency Management herein after called the "Director". The director
shall be appointed by the Mayor for an indefinite term and may be removed by the Mayor at any
time. The Director shall serve without salary but shall be paid for necessary expenses. The
Director shall have direct responsibility for the organization, administration, and operation of the
Emergency Management Agency, subject to the direction and control of the Mayor.
Section 207.03: ORGANIZATION. The Emergency Management Agency shall be
organized in such divisions and bureaus, consistent with state and local defense plans, as the
Director deems necessary to provide for the efficient performance of local emergency and
disaster functions during an emergency. The agency shall perform those functions within the
City and in addition, shall conduct such functions outside the City as may be required pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 12, for this ordinance.
Section 207.04: PARTICIPATION IN MUTUAL AID. With the consent of the Mayor,
the Director shall represent the City on any regional or state organization for emergency
management. The Director shall develop a proposed mutual aide agreement with other political
subdivisions within or without the state for reciprocal emergency assistance in emergency too
great to be dealt with unassisted, and shall present such agreements to the Council for approval.
Such agreements shall be consistent with the Emergency Management Plan. During an
emergency, the Emergency Management Agency shall render assistance in accordance with the
provisions of such agreements.
Section 207.05: EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN. The Director shall prepare a
comprehensive general plan for addressing disasters and emergencies in the City and shall
present such plan to the City Council for its approval. When the Council has approved the Plan

Council periodically a report of activities and recommendations.
