If you do opt out of the Countywide effort and still wish to remain eligible for disaster <br />mitigation funding should an emergency occur, your municipality will need to create an <br />individual plan that addresses the issues that affect your area and the neighboring areas, <br />even if those issues originate solely in your jurisdiction. We believe that this would <br />represent a significant duplication of effort, but will of course support you in any way we <br />can. <br />Rather than that, we invite you to adopt a single plan for the entire County. This seems <br />the most prudent and cost effective manner of complying with the Act. It is the approach <br />most other counties in the nation have taken. <br />To streamline the process, I have attached a sample generic draft board action request. 1 <br />understand that this may not directly match the format and language you require, <br />although we have run it past our attorneys and several of your peers. Please feel free to <br />edit it as needed to meet your community's needs. <br />As always, we consider ourselves to be an adjunct to your own emergency management <br />and preparedness efforts, and hope that this activity will be only one of an ongoing <br />number of possible areas for cooperation across the county. If my office can answer any <br />questions or be of any assistance in the effort, please contact us. Our Mitigation Officer is <br />Ms. Krysta Reuter. Ms. Reuter can be reached at 651- 266 -1015 or by email at <br />krysta.reuter@co.ramsey.mn.us. co.ramsey.mn.us. Finally, we have scheduled several public meetings on <br />mitigation planning this month. Please join us at these meetings as we go forward <br />together to save lives, property and money by working to prevent tomorrow's disasters <br />today. <br />Sincerely, <br />Judson M.
