The Bourbon Town Council members reviewed a Memorandum of Understanding with Marshall County Monday night that pertains to the county’s Continuity of Operations Plan.
Bourbon Town Council President Ward Byers explained that part of the plan deals with how operations will continue in the event of a disaster or failure at a county building.
“This particular Memorandum talks about if there’s a failure at a county building, they’re asking for the opportunity to utilize the Matchett Center for the purposes of continuing county government,” said Byers.
The Town of Bourbon would also be allowed to use a county building in case of a disaster or failure of a municipal building. The Memorandum of Understanding also discusses liability, damage, and insurance coverage.
The Bourbon Town Council members unanimously approved the Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of the Marshall County Emergency Management Agency.
