Dear
David and Mike,
I
sent Brad a letter last week about goals for Summerset. I really need to
get these done by the time the Commissioners meet in January, and of course for
each city to approve next month. The resolutions are not adoptions because
FEMA almost always requires changes to the plans. So the resolutions are
approvals.
I
am looking for any suggestions for goals. The goals potentially open
funding doors especially if the grant is a mitigation grant.
Do you have drainage issues or other life safety issues?
They
require an elaborate plan but the only thing that really matters to us at the
local level is the goals must be projects we need to do for the benefit of our
residents.
The
first goal listed below is a FEMA requirement, as is the format. Please
let me know on this if you have any suggestions.
