OLD BUSINESS:
1. Committee approved the minutes for the 9-8-08 Regular Meeting. Motion to approve, as
amended, by Joe Gagnier, passed unanimously.
2. Action Item Status Report (Stan Chrzanowski) - Stan reported on the sub-committee's
evaluation of Action Plan Items 5(t)(ii) [slotted storm sewer usage] and 5(t)(iii) [cross drains
beneath roads in G.G. Estates]. The sub-committee agreed that use of slotted drains would
not be beneficial in the total annual evaluation. The sub-committee agreed that proper
placement of cross in G.G. Estates was important where topography was suitable for
continuation of natural flow. It was also agreed that installation of cross drains during
roadway reconstructions was desirable, even though the cross drains may need to be plugged
to prevent cross flow until downstream conditions were deemed suitable to receive the flow.
Duke Vasey motioned to accept the sub-committee recommendations, and the motion passed
14-1.
A discussion followed on how to implement this recommendation and make it a County
project requirement. There was discussion on Transportation Division road construction
projects and who is involved in reviewing the designs for considerations of overland flow.

Department typically reviews the Transportation Engineering and Construction Management
(TECM) road designs. Committee discussion followed on the need to be specific to
floodplain management issues in addressing County internal coordination. Phil Brougham
motioned to establish a sub-committee to write the situation specific policy recommendation.
The motion passed unanimously with Stan Chrzanowski, Jerry Kurtz, Travis Gossard,
Clarence Tears, and Robert Wiley assigned to serve on the sub-committee and to bring the
policy back to the FMPC by the January 2009 meeting.
3. Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance amendments - Robert Wiley discussed various portions
of the proposed amendments to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Phil Brougham
motioned to remove the Cumulative Substantial Improvement section from the ordinance.
The motion passed unanimously. Recognizing the remaining issues to be discussed on the
ordinance, and the need to address the Action Plan items for next month, discussion on the
ordinance was stopped with the intention to continue the meeting on 9-12~08 if a suitable
meeting room can be located.
