  1. Minutes 14August 2017

Minutes of the Committee meeting of 14 August 2017 were approved without revision.

  1. DRC After Action Review

Mr. Gregg poled Committee members for their observations of the Town’s response to Hurricane Irma. The following comments were noted:

  1. owning to evacuees from Florida, heavy traffic was encountered travelling up I-26 on Friday, 8 September (storm impacts in Seabrook occurred 11 September)—caution to residents regarding traffic impacts under such circumstances may be appropriate;
  2. ongoing dialogue with Berkeley Electric Cooperative concerning improved flood resistance of their power distribution network for SeabrookIsland is in order;
  3. Town communication via bulk email was effective and more convenient than accessing the Town’s website.

Mr. Gregg noted the Disaster Recovery Council After Action Review meeting scheduled for 27 September and requested that members of the Committee take the on line survey to aid with measurement of the Town’s response.

  1. CharlestonCounty Debris Coordination Meeting

Mr. Gregg provided a brief summary of the Charleston County Debris Coordination meeting held 2 August, noting in particular: support for use of mobile air curtain burn units for debris reduction (SC DHEC to review its guidelines to accommodate these units with reduced setback requirements); need for improved GIS information for mapping overlays to ensure match-up of location information; support for increasing the number of “aggregation sites” (such as paved parking lots) to improve debris hauling efficiency; difficulties encountered with activation of debris contractors because of the high demand elsewhere in SC.

  1. Debris Management Contract RFP

Mr. Gregg provided background information relating to the need to solicit and review bids in 2018 to replace the Town’s existing debris management contract with Phillips and Jordan. Members of the Committee were provided the Request for Proposal used in 2013 as well copies of the applicable Town Ordinance and the Town’s Memorandum of Understanding with SIPOA. It was noted that because of the need to have a new agreement in place by 1 September 2018, that it would be desirable to have a release a request for proposal by the end of April or early in May 2018 to allow time to receive and review proposals.
