Board of Trustees Meeting Report

Board of Trustees Meeting Reports

Update on Air Station Prairie, which has been owned and managed by the Glenview Park District since May, 2008. Park District representatives provided an operations and audited financial report.
Discussion: Fire/EMS and Police operations studies. During 2008 the Village has been working with a consultant to analyze and evaluate operations for police patrol, fire services, EMS service call volume, and dispatch. Key findings include:

The Police Department has an acceptable relationship between staffing and workload. In 2009, it will move to a 12-hour shift model.
Changes were made to the way in which the Police Department collects call for service data to aid in more closely measuring police operations and response times.
The Fire Department is well within its own standard of a four-six minute response time.
Changes to be implemented include (among other things) a community risk assessment and building inspection program, and training personnel in the use of the Village's Geographic Information System.
