OLD BUSINESS:
I. Approval of Regular Meeting Minutes for 2-5-07 - Motion to approve by Joe Gagnier,
unanimous vote for approval.
2. Welcome Christine Sutherland and Terry Smallwood - Mrs. Sutherland was not able to
attend due to illness, Mr. Smallwood did not communicate with staff regarding not attending
the meeting.
3. Public Outreach - Robert Wiley provided a brief discussion on the series of special evening
meetings being held around the community and the article that appeared in the Naples Daily
News. COMMITTEE members requested that staff contact Connie Dean in Transportation
to get her a complete listing of the evening meeting schedule so she could schedule the use of
the variable message boards to advertise the meetings, and get that information to the
appropriate person in the Road Maintenance Department to ensure the signs are placed.
4. Attendance-Bylaws Consideration - Phillip Brougham motioned for staff to develop an
attendance policy for the COMMITTEE to consider for inclusion in the bylaws. The draft
document will propose ways and means to replace COMMITTEE members for non-
attendance and non-responsiveness. The motion passed unanimously. Subsequent
discussions were for the COMMITTEE to focus on eompleting the updating of the existing
Floodplain Management Plan in the tight timeframe available and not spend the effort on the
bylaws that might be too restrictive to the team.

I. Status Report Assignments and Completion Schedule
· Phase I (Planning) - Mike DeRuntz reported that no written document has been
prepared, and that there has been a very poor response or show of interest from the
many agencies contacted. Stan Chrzanowski, Clarence Tears and Noah Standridge
provided input on contacting the appropriate agencies, especially the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The suggestion was made to use e-mail so it could be forwarded to the appropriate
staff within these agencies.
· Phase II (Risk Assessment) - Stan Chrzanowski reported that no work had been done
on this portion of the plan. He discussed the various hazards, mapping, etc. and
emphasized that the definition of "flooding" needs to be clearly stated. Rick
Zyvoloski said he would get a copy of the FEMA HAZUS guidance to Robert Wiley.
Rick also stated that he needs to update the current Hazard Mitigation Plan, and
would like to have the help of knowledgeable people on the COMMITTEE.
· Phase III (Mitigation Strategy) - Ray Smith discussed the draft Goals and Policies
statements, and agreed to merge Goal I and Goal 2. He asked everyone to review the
draft statements and e-mail their editing recommendations to Robert Wiley.
· Phase IV (Plan Maintenance) - Discussions centered around the need to complete the
various portions of the Plan so it could be reviewed and approved. It was agreed that
an e-mail be sent to the staff COMMITTEE members responsible for the drafting of
the various sections of the revised Plan. Travis Gossard motioned to continue the
meeting for two (2) weeks, with the various work products submitted in one (I) week
as read-aheads, and also provide an explanation of the urgency to complete these
assignments to allow the full COMMITTEE to review them. The motion passed
unanimously.

2. Public Comments - There were no non-COMMITTEE members of the public in attendance
at this point in the meeting, as Mr. David Farmer had to leave earlier.

Mike DeRuntz will lead the 4-2-07 meeting since Ray Smith will be out of town. Herb Luntz
suggested that we try to get the Naples Daily News to attend the 4-2-07 regular meeting. He
also suggested that we contact the chairman of the Collier County Planning Commission and
request his assistance in getting the revised Plan reviewed and approved. This topic will be
discussed as a follow-up at the next meeting.
