approved unanimously.
2. Setting Goals (Aeeountability) - County Manager Jim Mudd addressed the Committee to
discuss the importance of the work being done and the setting of goals. Dan Summers
suggested using an outside firm to review and reeommend edits to the fmal Floodplain
Management Plan (FMP) to make it more effective in the Community Rating System
scoring. Mr. Mudd was agreeable to that if the eost was less than $25 K. Phillip Brougham
asked about the priorities of staff to do the work in the goals statements. Mr. Mudd was
agreeable on making these assignments as priorities if the timelines are reasonable, and he
assured the Committee that the tasks in the fmal approved FMP doewnent would get done.
Phillip Brougham also asked about possibly replacing appointed Committee members who
don't attend the meetings. Mr. Mudd was agreeable to writing a letter to members identified
as non-attending to request they either make the effort to participate and attend, or he will
replaee them. After Mr. Mudd left the meeting, Mike DeRuntz discussed some changes he
would like to see included in the goals statements. Duke Vasey motioned to accept the goals

3. Review of Existing Studies, Reports and Technical Information (Presentation) - Steve
Preston briefly.discussed the draft Section 7.2.1 document and advised that additional editing
was still taking place. Lew Schmidt requested that the Naples Park basin be expanded to
include Vanderbilt Lagoon. He will submit this request to Robert Wiley via e-maiL After
much discussion on the status of the draft document, Duke Vasey motioned continue this
item until the 8-6-07 Committee meeting with staff to revise, coordinate and sign off and
have copies available one week in advance (distribute at the 7-30-07 meeting) so the
Committee members would have time to review. By 7-16-07 all comments to be
incorporated into the last editing are to be submitted to Gene Calvert, including the
Vanderbilt Lagoon area revisions. The motion passed unanimously. It was also agreed to
limit the presentation on the Seetion 7.2.1 document to 20 minutes at the 8-6-07 meeting.
4. Following the discussion on the Existing Studies report, the Committee returned to the topie
of using an outside contractor for the overall FMP review and packaging. Dan Summers
agreed to take the lead in canvassing for this work.
5. Hazard Assessment (Questions and Answers) - Dan Summers reviewed all the information
topics of the Hazard Assessment in the "All Hazards Guide". There was a discussion on the
problems encountered with displaying the "All Hazards Guide" in the lobby of the CDES
building, and Jim Turner agreed to look into this to get them resolved. Dan noted that Collier
County is certified as a "Storm Ready" community through 2009. Discussion followed on
the efforts to revise the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance to add stormwater management
system inspection and maintenance requirements. That effort will pick up as the FMP
revision effort is wrapped up over the next couple of months. Dan Summers also
recommended that staff contaet Dan Trescott ofthe Southwest Florida Regional Planning
Council to get a copy of the Hurricane Vulnerability Study and a status report on the progress
to update it. Mike DeRuntz agreed to contact Dan Trescott.
NEW BUSINESS:
I. 2006 Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report - Robert Wiley reviewed the draft
document with the Committee. Roland Holt, Building Department Director, discussed the
Objective 1.4 evaluation and asked if there were any current regulations preventing an entire
lot from being filled. This will be cheeked. Dan Summers requested a revision to Goal 2
evaluation to state that it was addressed in the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
He also requested the "All Hazards Guide" be listed in the response to Goal 5. Committee
eonsensus was that with these revisions, the report was sufficient to present to the Board of
County Commissioners.
