Deb,

I just need it by January 2nd.  So I can submit it to the Commissioners for acceptance.

Then send it to the cities for acceptance.

 

The Acceptance Resolution is required but is not the same as an adoption.  FEMA probably will make us change a few things so it is an “Acceptance” not an Adoption.  I will send a copy of the resolution next week.

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.
