1611A5 ~
1. Approval status of the Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report - Robert Wiley
reported that it was approved and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners as part of
the consent agenda for 7-28-09.
2. Review of Floodplain Management Plan evaluation and scoring process with the Insurance
Services Office (ISO) and FEMA - Robert Wiley briefly discussed the review process steps
through ISO. The Plan was submitted to ISO regional office, and it is now in the ISO state
office where sufficiency comments have been raised, Those comments were received on 7-
31-09. The issues raised deal with meeting the requirements of Planning Steps 7 through 9 in
the CRS Coordinator's Manual. Staff needs to address those issues and possibly bring
information back to the Committee in a mid-September FMPC meeting.
3. Presentation on the FY 09/10 beach vegetation planting program and dune repair program-
Gary McAlpin discussed the history of the beach and dune management program over the
past three years. He expressed there were some concerns on the success of the Marco Island
dune vegetation planting efforts. He identified approximately three more years remain in the
current dune revegetation program, and this is funded by the Tourist Development Council.
The goal is for the dune vegetation to be self-sustaining on the front side of the dunes. The
program has had some limited success in obtaining Federal grants. Gary also discussed the
ongoing eight to ten year cycle for beach renourishment and the pass maintenance program,
He described a couple of locations where the beach width and height need to be increased.
He does not anticipate the current funding downturn to be a major long term obstacle to
continuing the overall program.
4. Discussion of the 2009 public meetings for the Floodplain Management Plan and requesting
flooding information input from local residents - Robert Wiley discussed the outcome and
attendance of the five evening meetings. Overall attendance was low, with the two highest
attended meetings being Immokalee and North Naples. During the Committee's discussion
several members suggested using e-mail contact lists to help get out notifications for next
year's meetings.
5. Discussion on proposed web page changes - Mac Hatcher distributed a single page DRAFT
that he has started for a single point of focus to report flooding. More work will follow and
be presented to the Committee.
6. Public Comments - None
Next Meeting (Monday, October 5, 2009 starting at 9:00 a.m, in Room 609 of the CDES
building located at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, Naples, FL 34104 unless there is a need to
have a September 14,2009 meeting. Committee members were asked to keep their calendars
open for that possible meeting date and Robert Wiley will notifY Committee if needed.)
