What is available right now to help those flooding out? *Smart* Development RECORDING NOTES This summary was extracted from the recorders notes rather than transcribed so the reader can better understand the tone as well as the issues of the participants. The recording notes will be returned to you and can be transcribed verbatim if desired. QUESTIONNAIRES Questionnaires have not yet been completed. They will be tallied and returned after the meeting completes on Tuesday. The `Best Ideas' will be summarized from the recorder's notes. AGENDA The meeting started late and was delayed a couple of times because of technical changes and challenges, but it did not seem to have any negative effects. The meeting seemed informative and valuable; nearly all participants made comments and suggestions that were thoughtful and focused. After some background and history, we moved through each item in order, with the exception of two or three sections due to Sunshine Law and appropriate definition clarifications. As recommended, we started with the FEMA regulated language sections listed on the yellow questionnaire. After 8 of the 19 items, there was general agreement that the FEMA language remain as is (necessary) to retain eligibility for disaster relief funds. Therefore, no constructive purpose would be served by further discussing something there is no power to affect. Switching to the Hawaii (buff) Questionnaire, we started the items on the Proposed Draft 5, Bill 51. The group considered the shift appropriate and supportive of the positive collaboration they wanted to generate, and the ground rules were adjusted accordingly. About half the Hawaii agenda items were completed. The next meeting venue will be announced on Monday, and will convene from noon to 6:00 pm. to continue the Hawaii agenda. 4
