4.0 REPORTS OF OFFICERS:

Village Manager Timothy Frenzer noted that the Fire Department Accreditation Report and Standards of Cover Document was accepted by the Village Board this evening under the Consent Agenda.

Fire Chief Michael McGreal introduced Duty Chief Rob Brill to explain the Fire Department accreditation process.

Duty Chief Brill gave a brief overview of the accreditation process noting that this is the fourth time the Wilmette Fire Department has received accreditation. The Fire Department went through a site assessment for four days and received only four specific and strategic recommendations which is almost unheard of in the accreditation world. At the completion of the process of site visits and reports, they were required to go before the Accreditation Commission and made it through the hearing with very few questions from the Commission. He thanked the Village Board and Village Staff for their help and support through the process.

President Bielinski noted that the Wilmette Fire Department is only one of 16 departments to receive accreditation in the State of Illinois.

Village Manager Timothy Frenzer congratulated the Fire Department noting that there are less than 10 fire departments nationally that have received accreditation four consecutive times. He said the accreditation process means that our Fire Department is being audited by outside professionals from all over the country to make sure that they are using absolute best practices in training, administration, supervision and all their operating procedures. It ensures the highest quality of service for the residents, the most efficient operation of the department and the safest work environment for the department.

There was no report from Corporation Counsel.
