attend the meeting and discuss the status of the ordinance following the review by the Collier

of the Ordinance and staff's thoughts about revising the Ordinance to the basic form of the
State's model ordinance. This would remove all of the higher regulatory criteria. A
discussion then followed regarding the direction that needs to be taken with the ordinance.

implementing (or could implement), send this listing to the Division Administrators, get their
confIrmation on those for which we are not currently receiving CRS credit, identifY the
prograJ11 costs for those CRS credit points that we could seek, and get input from the specific

NEW BUSINESS
1. ISO's scoring of the 2008 Floodplain Management Plan - Robert Wiley provided a brief
discussion on the status of the ISO's scoring of the 2008 FMP. The FMP was found to be
deficient in Steps 7, 8, and 9. These issues need to be addressed and the plan resubmitted to
ISO for re-scoring. Until that occurs, the ISO will continue to use the current scoring the
County attains under the Local Mitigation Strategy prograJ11 coordinated through the
Emergency Management Department, Ray Smith recommended that the Committee meet
every other week to address the FMP's deficiencies. Travis Gossard asked that the ISO
correspondence be provided to the Committee so they could better understand the issues.
Following discussion on how difficult it is for Robert to answer questions and taking accurate
minutes at the SaJ11e tinle, Ray Smith directed for someone be assigned to take minutes.
Brandy Ortero (visiting staff from Stormwater Management) requested the use of sub-
committees to address the issues and bring them back to the full Committee. Ray Smith
established a special 9-28-09 meeting of the whole Committee with the FMP Update as the
sole agenda item. Duke Vasey asked Robert to see if John Torre can get an MP3 recording
of the Committee meetings and post it on the web site.

New Business Item 1.
