NOTES
PRESENT MINUTES UPDATES Tsunami Siren Paul Agpawa, Robert Ekholdt, Ali Hodges, Cheryl Tucker, Tim Flanagan, Mike Wells, Gary Patrick, Kintay Johnson, Josh Edelman (phone), Jenessa Lund and Crislyn Parker (welcome was extended to Crislyn Parker and a thank you to Lori Walsh for all her hard work) The meeting minutes from March 23, 2011 were unanimously approved. Jenessa and Ali composed and submitted a letter to PGE requesting the funding to purchase the circuitry and control box needed to enable operation for the siren HOACC Announcements Paul reported regarding funds for CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training for employees, the dollars go to first responders to work with security and maintenance. Regarding the Radio Communication Project request (attached to agenda), for the Humboldt Area, submitted in January, allotted funding based on size which went mostly to counties in southern California. These counties could not utilize the funds and the federal government is asking for the residual to be returned. One this is done, other projects will be funded and CR/Humboldt stands a good change of getting new equipment and/or upgrading current equipment. We requested approximately $60,000 in equipment and will know by June. Another grant is available for 2011‐12 which we will apply for if we don’t receive current funds. Paul noted that the $51,000 under Option 2 includes radios and other items not noted on the attached list 2010‐11 ACTIVITY SUMMARY Paul prepared a summary of the committee work for this fiscal year at the request of Dr. Keith snow‐flamer. The committee approved suggested changing the wording to reflect the committee is working toward implementation and compliance. Correction will be made and submitted. DISCUSSIONS Survey Compliance Jenessa submitted for discussion a draft of the survey that will be sent to the district. After review and discussion, the committee approved the survey with a few minor changes. The survey will go to all via email in the next two days. Mike noted he would like administrators to receive ICS training as part of compliance, since administrators have oversight of policy and compliance. Paul informed there is free online training available; up to three modules that take approximately 2 hours each to complete. Mike will report out to the EOP Board. Paul is redoing phone list and not including personal cell phones, but security will retain those numbers. Next Meeting The next meeting is scheduled for May 18, 2011, 3:00 p.m. in the Boardroom ADJOUNED The meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m. Submitted cp
