Deb and Hoss,

 

I sent Glenn a letter about this about a week ago.  I need to get these done so I can submit a resolution to the city council and then send it to FEMA in February.  Maybe Glenn is waiting for a council meeting to discuss it.

 

I would like some more goals for Faith if you can think of some or get the council to suggest some..   Do you want to list a storm shelter?  What about drainage issues or other problems?  I just need to know what and in what order of priority.  The benefit is that it leverages them when applying for grants.

 

The format is a FEMA thing.
