5.1 Discussion and Authorization for solicitation of quotes for installation of bullet resistant panels at Village Hall dais A few Trustees requested a discussion regarding some sort of bullet proof measure for the dais. Trustee Petty voiced her concerns for the need to have protection should an active shooting situation occur. Administrator Sanders researched a couple of different products. Bullet proof panels had a cost estimate of around $2500.00 for 8 levels of protection based on the ammunition and type of weapon being used. Public Works would be able to install them which would save on labor costs. Ballistic blankets could also be an option. They could be tacked to the dais or even be used as a draping while crawling to safety. Trustee Gustafson suggested dividing into two topics; one being the materials, the other being active shooter training. Trustee Petty encouraged the Board to consider all options for the safety of this Board and future ones as well. Trustee Mallicoat commented that at a local school orientation it was brought to the parent's attention that the Village of Roscoe is a prime community for an active shooting incident.
