David,

Here is a copy of the goals I have for Summerset per your email.  FEMA requires the first goal.  Please change or add anything you want to the information.  I did not know the priority on the drainage problems, so choose if you want them to be a high priority or medium.  Please also check the description of the problem. We want to leave it vague enough that your council has flexibility should you choose to apply for a grant through this program.

If you have any questions my numbers are at the bottom of the email.
