[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Fox Point 9-14-1999 by Ord. No. 99-20 (§ 2.047 of the 1961 Code).
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Chief of Police is designated the Fox Point Emergency Management
Coordinator, and the Village Board herein delegates its emergency
powers under §§ 323.11 and 323.14(4), Wis. Stats.,
to the Chief of Police.
The Fox Point Emergency Management Coordinator, or the Village
Manager, in his absence, is empowered to declare an emergency existing
within the Village whenever conditions arise, either within the Village
or within other municipalities or areas, by reason of war, conflagration,
flood, heavy snow storm, blizzard, catastrophe, disaster, riot or
civil commotion, acts of God, and including conditions, without limitation
or restriction because of enumeration, which impair transportation,
food or fuel supplies, medical care, fire, health or police protection
or other vital facilities of the Village, or endanger the health,
welfare or safety of persons or property in the Village. The period
of such emergency shall be limited to the time during which such emergency
conditions exist or are likely to exist. Even though none of the conditions
exist which authorize a declaration of an emergency under this provision,
an emergency may be declared if there are reasonable grounds for belief
that any one or more of said conditions is impending or threatened.
The emergency power herewith conferred shall include such general
authority to order whatever is necessary and expedient for the health,
safety, welfare and good order of the Village in such emergency, and
shall include such authority as is necessary and expedient without
limitation or restriction because of enumeration and shall include
the power to bar, restrict or remove all unnecessary traffic, both
vehicular and pedestrian, from the streets and highways in the Village,
notwithstanding any provisions of Chs. 341 to 349, Wis. Stats., or
any other provisions of law, or ordinances of this Village.
The Emergency Management Coordinator shall exercise all powers
and authority as provided by the Fox Point Municipal Emergency Operations
Plan as adopted by the Village Board. The Emergency Management Coordinator
shall have the authority to reasonably modify the Plan consistent
with its intent without authority of the Village Board, and so as
to best protect the citizens of the Village of Fox Point. The Emergency
Management Coordinator shall also conduct a yearly review and update
of the Plan and provide notification to the Village Board of any modifications
or updates.
