Council moves forward on Hazard Mitigation Plan amendment; PEMA approval required
Summary
Council members reported that required forms for a Hazard Mitigation Plan amendment were submitted and were told PEMA approval is needed before the borough can adopt a revised resolution; council directed follow-up and emphasized timeliness.
Council members Tom Yale and Diane Gomola reported that required forms for an amendment to the borough’s Hazard Mitigation Plan have been submitted to county and state contacts. Diane told the council she sent agenda materials and minutes to Scott Aylesworth and that a request to amend the plan was mailed to Thomas Hughes at Susquehanna County Emergency Management.
The minutes report that Diane said the borough will need to re-do its Hazard Mitigation resolution and that Scott "advised her once again, that time is of the essence in this matter." Tom Yale committed to call Scott to confirm receipt and address PEMA concerns. The council recorded no formal vote on the resolution at this meeting; the action is pending county/state approval before the borough can adopt a passed resolution.
Members discussed the administrative next steps for resubmitting a passed resolution once county approval is received. The minutes indicate council concern about timing and compliance with state emergency-management procedures.
