2. Status Report Assignments and Completion Schedule
. Phase I (Planning)

he has drafted.

additional meetings with several agencies. The FDEP meeting is tentative for
next week, but not confirmed. Noah has been communicating bye-mail Phil
Brougham recommended that a letter referencing the e-mail and telephone calls
be sent with a return reeeipt. Ray Smith directed Noah to send a letter and
ensure there is a receipt.
. Phase II (Risk Assessment)
o Assess the Hazard - Stan Chrzanowski discussed the map series he eompiled to
identity the flooding hazard. He also discussed the brief public meeting
assessments. Dan Summers brought out the difference in rules for defining
"flooding". He said that Emergency Management responds when flooding is
2.5 feet deep in the house. This is used for the "response" side of FEMA where
a property is considered uninhabitable. Ray Smith requested that Stan

ineorporate critical facilities into the flood hazard assessment. Dan Summers

facilities.
o Assess the Problem - Dan Summers requested the Hurricane Evacuation
restudy be attached as an appendix to the Floodplain Management Plan. He
reported that the Local Mitigation Strategy is complete and updated, along with
the Collier Emergency Management Plan being complete. Dan requested to be

changes he has to his previous submittal.
o Draft an Action Plan - Lew Schmidt requested Robert Wiley to eompile the six

Duke Vasey stated there is a need to identifY which items need funding (e.g.
critical facilities, flood warning system, etc.) and attach the connection to the
A. U .I.R. Phil Brougham discussed the need to have a prioritized list of aetion
items. Ray Smith wanted the Action Plan to 1.) identifY through the AUIR
those projects focusing on flooding; 2.) identifY flooding problems in the
primary, secondary, and tertiary stormwater systems for next year's budget; and
3.) identifY a program approach for future years. Phil Brougham then requested
that Ray Smith set up a planning objective for the Collier County Planning
Commission (CCPC).
Discussion followed on a possible new time line. Duke Vasey recommended
taking the current plan to the CCPC on 5-17-07 or take staff comments on why
we need to make changes. A proposed schedule will be developed by staff for
consideration by the COMM1TTEE. It was agreed that the staff members of the
COMMITTEE would meet on 4-16-07 to identify the resources needed to
accomplish their assigned task, and they would eome prepared to discuss how
the work would be done, not bring a list of problems.
Noah Standridge motioned for all staff identified on the task spreadsheet to
meet this week and discuss the needed work, staff and resources. Phil
Brougham seconded the motion and asked that each staff member write out
their understanding of the task need. Motion passed unanimously.
. Phase IV (Plan Maintenance) - No discussion.
