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.
