Distribution ofletter to Committee members from BCC chairman - Robert Wiley distributed the letters addressing appointed committees stay focused on the issues for which they were established. He explained that this was a letter sent to the membership of all the advisory committees, and didn't apply to any problems the BCC Chairman has with the actions of the FMPC. The letters will be mailed to those FMPC members not in attendance. 3. Flood zone determination and link to Property Appraiser web site - Robert Wiley briefly discussed the efforts to correctly define the building footprint and the more restrictive flood zone within that footprint using the County's GIS. No real progress to report as the details to get it to work correctly are being resolved. Duke Vasey asked for regular updates on this issue. Phil Brougham mentioned the need to update the information on the Floodplain web site. A discussion on the membership then ensued with Duke Vasey motioning to recommend that the Floodplain Management Planning Committee (FMPC) adopt the standard advisory committee policy for attendance. Discussion on the motion included asking the County Manager to implement that standard policy for the FMPC. Phil Brougham requested that the Misc. Cones: Page I of3 Date: () 11 d-..2l D <j .

Duke Vasey accepted the amendment to the motion and the motion passed with a vote of 11 in favor and 1 abstention. 4. Action Items update and report on Sub-committee meeting - Robert Wiley reported that previous membership and chairmanship of the sub-committees was incomplete, and only Sub-Comm. #1 with Mike DeRuntz as chair, and Sub-Comm. #2 with Ray Smith as chair have been established. Ray Smith proposed to get the sub-committees moving forward on the various Action Plan items by selecting 4 actions items for work by the sub-committees with staff being responsible for getting the work product ready for review. Robert Wiley will set up the first of the sub-committee meetings where the chairman will be selected. The chairman will set the subsequent sub-committee meetings until that Action Item is complete and ready for presentation to the full FMPC. Phil Brougham requested that 1 staff person be assigned to each Action Item to avoid confusion as to who is responsible. John Torre volunteered to complete Action Item 6(d) - Library site visits and Action Item 6(b )(ii) - Web site update. The FMPC determined that the two remaining Action Items for evaluation this first cycle would be 5(f)(ii) and 5(f)(iii) which deal with use of perforated drain pipe throughout the County and placement of cross culverts beneath roads in Golden Gate Estates. Robert Wiley will schedule a meeting for these two items to be discussed by a sub-committee consisting of Travis Gossard, Jerry Kurtz, Lew Schmidt, Stan Chrzanowski, Duke Vasey, and Mac Hatcher. 5. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (amendments) - Ray Smith requested the FMPC schedule a special meeting to discuss this ordinance. The FMPC members decided to use the September 8, 2008 regular meeting with a single issue agenda. Robert Wiley will get a written copy of the DRAFT ordinance mailed to each of the members at least 2 weeks in advance along with an e-mail version. He will also notify all those on the FMPC mailing list about the proposed discussion at the September meeting. NEW BUSINESS 1. Discussion on perforated pipe - Stan discussed how perforated pipe would function in relation to the high water table elevations in Collier County. Lew Schmidt thought the original issue was in Naples Park, and Travis Gossard began a discussion on what was designed and permitted for use in Naples Park. Jerry Kurtz addressed the loss of swale storage capacity if they are piped. He asked the Committee to support the position to not allow filling of swales in old developments. Duke Vasey added that the FMPC had previously requested a standard swale cross section be established and that he also is opposed to enclosing swales. At that point the Committee stopped discussion and recommended that the sub-committee address the topic and bring it back to the full FMPC, perhaps as early as October. 2. Discussion on cross drains in Golden Gate Estates - Tbis issue was jointly moved to the proposed sub-committee level discussion for a later presentation to the full FMPC. 3. Public Comments - Phil Brougham discussed the efforts he and Robert Wiley were doing to develop a flow chart showing the Floodplain Management Plan development and Page 2 of3 . "'.'- .O!
