Vice President Ptashnik commended the Livonia Symphony Orchestra for their recent golf outing. She recently attended the Irish Fest and presented a commendation to the chairpersons

remarks.
Councilmember Jolly wished his children Lexi, JD, and Jack happy birthdays.
Councilmember Morgan addressed Mr. Loftus and indicated the deer situation has not been put on the back burner. It is currently being reviewed and they hope to have an answer out
of committee soon.
Councilmember Donovic agreed with Councilmember Morgan regarding the deer situation. He also thanked Brian Kahn, the Police and Firefighters, and the Department of Public Works for
their response to the tragic event on June 5, 2024.
Councilmember Budzinski reminded people about the upcoming Livonia Spree. She also thanked everyone that contributed to the groundbreaking event for the Senior Center.
Mayor Brosnan spoke about the debriefing to take place because of the tornado that hit on June 5, 2024. She thanked the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and everyone else that stepped
up to assist during the tragic event. She said the EOC kicked into gear within minutes and when there is human life at stake, there is a huge component of the city that is touched by
that including the first responders, neighbors, friends, and coworkers of the Drake Family. She thanked the Livonia First Responders Foundation for becoming the guarantor of funds being
donated to the Drake Family. She indicated her next leadership meeting will go through all details of how the event was handled to evaluate the successes during the event and see
where improvements must be needed.
Brian Kahn, Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Operations, spoke about the tragic event of June 5, 2024. He extended condolences to the Drake Family for the loss of their
son, Cooper. He indicated Livonia experienced an EF0 to EF1 tornado. He explained the notifications that come from the National Weather Service (NWS). A special weather statement
was received on June 4th indicating there was the possibility of sub severe storms occurring on June 5th. The tornado spawned up suddenly with no warning. The NWS looked back at the
radar which showed something had occurred during their first sweep, but it was gone by the second sweep of the radar. First responders (Fire, Police, and DPW) and residents did a fantastic
job of search and rescue immediately following calls. The EOC and the Emergency Operations Plan were activated immediately. Many local communities assisted with the emergency operations.
He indicated emergency warning sirens are used to warn of severe weather and are activated when winds become 58 mph or more or when information is received from others indicating tornadoes
have been spotted elsewhere. The sirens are activated By Impact Waning Statements that come into the Dispatch Center from NWS. Unfortunately, there were Impact Warning Statements issued
because the storm accelerated too quickly.
