v. BUSINESS ITEMS
A) Linda Freed reported that there would be a presentation of a computer model for
oil spill response at the June 4 Emergency Services Organization (ESO) meeting
in the Borough Assembly Chambers at 1 :30 p.m. The Pan-Dynamic incident is
used as the model, and the software will be left with the Kodiak Island Borough
after the presentation. She encouraged everyone to attend.
B) Linda reminded the committee that the earthquake and tsunami workshop will be
held on August 21/22 at Fort Richardson. Bill Jones said that he would be
sending Joe Hart and Howard Weston to the workshop. He also thought that Bob
Himes should be offered the opportunity to attend. When Bob agreed that he
would attend, Bill suggested that staff contact ADES to see if they would fund
Bob's travel. (NOTE: It has since been learned that this workshop has been
cancelled. )
Linda also informed the committee of the upcoming SCAT training in Ketchikan
in late August. She said there is no cost for the training, only the cost of getting to
Ketchikan, lodging and per diem. She offered to attend if no one else could. She
would get the information to several individuals and agencies who might be
interested in attending.
Linda also pointed out that EMI's training schedule is now available on the
internet. She passed out the most recent training schedule, which included the
web-site address on it.
C) ADES had sent out a training needs assessment. The assessment needed to be
completed by June 1, 1998 to qualify the LEPC for training grant money.
D) Linda stated that the Subarea Oil Spill Contingency Plan Document review
process would soon be complete. Comments on the draft plan were due by May
29, and the completed plan was scheduled for signing in mid June.
E) Elise DeCola, contractor, reviewed the progress on the EOP update. She had
completed some of the interviews and was beginning to summarize her findings
into the model document that had been provided by the state. She hoped to have a
first draft done by June 12 and asked for volunteers to review the draft. Andy
Nault, Bill Jones and Linda Freed offered to review the document. The review
process will be an item on the ESO meeting agenda.
VI. OTHER ITEMS/COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
The next meeting was scheduled for June 25 at 1 :30 p.m. in the Borough conference
