NEW BUSINESS: The meeting was attended by thirty-eight (38) local residents from the north
Naples area. Name and address information was eollected on a "sign-in" sheet (only 30 filled
out the sign-in sheet). Additionally, one resident was not able to attend the meeting, so she
called staff and sent an e-mail with information.
Ray Smith opened the meeting with a brief welcoming statement, went through the
introductions, and stated the purpose for the meeting. Robert Wiley followed with a brief
overview of the Floodplain Management Plan and the Community Rating System. Mike
DeRuntz explained the process of gathering public input and how the meeting would be
conducted.
A map and questionnaire forms were available at eaeh table, and for the next thirty (30) minutes
the residents began noting areas of flooding they had personally observed. COMMITTEE
members were available in the room to answer questions of the residents while they were
marking the map and filling in the questionnaires. When it appeared that everyone was done,
each person was asked to callout the types of flooding observed with the following results:
