Town of Bellefonte

Special Commission Meeting

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

7:00 p.m.

Bellefonte Town Hall

901A Rosedale Avenue

The Commission is calling a Special Meeting for the purpose of discussing and entertaining a motion to adopt a proposed resolution. The purpose of the resolution is to adopt the New Castle County Multi-jurisdictional All Hazard Plan as the operating Hazard Plan for the Town of Bellefonte.  The Town of Bellefonte is required to adopt an updated hazard plan by January 31. The most prudent date and time for the Commission to convene for this business is Thursday, January 28 at 7:00 pm.  This aforementioned Plan meets the requirements for maintaining a local hazard mitigation plan under 44 CFR Part 201, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on February 28, 2002, and amended on Oct. 31, 2007.  Without this plan, all eligible local jurisdictions (including Bellefonte) would be ineligible to receive a variety of disaster recovery programs, including the Public Assistance Program to repair or replace damaged public facilities, and the Fire Management Assistance Program to help the state and communities recover the costs of major disasters. However, the State and local communities would remain eligible for certain emergency assistance and Human Services programs available through the Stafford Act.

WORKING MEETING AGENDA

Town Hall

October 7, 2009  7:00 P.M.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

SPECIAL NOTE:  NO DECISIONS ARE MADE OR VOTES TAKEN AT THIS MEETING

1)    Review minutes of 9/14 Commission Meeting
- This is needed so we do not spend too much time reviewing the minutes at the next Commission meeting on 10/12.  Our goal is to make our Commission meetings shorter so that we will get more participation from the general public.

2)    Review how the picnic plans went and create a list of what worked and what could be improved upon next year.

- It is better to create our list right away while it is fresh in our minds rather than wait until next year, and since no voting is needed it would waste time discussing this at the next Commission meeting on 10/12.

3)  Start discussing Christmas plans.

     - We can start putting together plans of what we want to do for a possible tree lighting ceremony at our 12/14 Commission Meeting.  This will save time during the next Commission meeting on 10/12.  It would be good to get the local businesses involved to make it one large event.  This will require a lot of coordination and the creation of a Committee such as the one that organized the town picnic.
