A. Information Needed by Council Staff
1. Tabletop Emergency Preparedness
The Administration is planning a tabletop emergency preparedness exercise on Thursday, September 29th and Friday, September 30th. They would like Council Members to attend a portion of the exercise. Council Members would be asked to attend on September 30th (Friday), for about 2 hours. They are currently uncertain what time of day it would take place. Council Member Love has responded and will attend.
Would other Council Members like to take part in this exercise? Just a reminder.
2. Northwest Quadrant – Council Response to Constituent Letter
Council Member Christensen would like to inquire if the Council, or if the Chair on behalf of the Council and the Administration, would like to respond to the letter received from Maureen Davison regarding the Northwest Quad and the timeline of events. Attached are the letter and timeline that the Council received from Maureen on Monday, July 18, 2011.
How would the Council like to address the Northwest Quadrant concerns? Council Members were in favor of having the Administration draft a response.
3. Fireworks: Attached Councilmember Christensen said this issue applied to the whole legislature. He said people needed to contact their own representative. Council Members wanted to send a response. Councilmember Simonsen said maybe the Council needed to look at a budget opening so enforcement measures could be stepped up. Council Members decided to follow-up with the Fire Marshal.
