Regular Council Meeting 2-26-07 Page 8 LEGAL I)EPARTMENT - Diane Calta There was nothing to report, unless there are any questions. There were none. FIRE - Chief Mohr Chief Mohr reported that we are preparing for Citizen's Emergency Response Teams. That is the next step of our mass inoculation volunteer program. The best way to describe it is to think of the civil defense program for communities in which volunteers assist public safety in performing things such as checking on the elderly and providing medication or assisting the public safety in time of need or during a storm situation. We are preparing to train the trainers and then proceed to bring it to the volunteers. There is an interest of volunteers from Mayfield Village, Mayfield Heights and Highland Heights to take this next step training. The County will provide C-money to us to provide our residents with this training. We are going to take the steps to do this.
