Approved <br /> The State of MN and New Brighton continue to have a cooperative agreement for use of the New <br /> Brighton Public Safety Center as the Alternate State of MN Emergency Operations Center <br /> (EOC). Should the State's main EOC be unable to function for any reason, this function will <br /> move to our Public Safety Center. This has created a strong partnership with the State of <br /> Minnesota's Public Safety community and has benefited New Brighton financially via funding <br /> for equipment and technology enhancements. On Friday,November 18th, the State and New <br /> Brighton teamed up for a day long exercise using the Public Safety Center as the State's EOC. <br /> Numerous staff from the State and from our City including our IT, administrative and Public <br /> Safety personnel participated in this successful exercise. <br /> Public Safety will now be using Facebook and our email notification system to help notify the <br /> public for snow plowing activity. Officer Trevor Hamdorf has done a great job on keeping up <br /> with our Facebook updates and the e-mail notifications on a variety of crimes, fires and now <br /> snow plowing.
