Board Members:
Attached hereto please find the minutes of the Board meeting
held on October 10th and the special meeting held on October 24th.
Please advise me if you have any questions or suggested revisions to
either set of minutes. I suggest that you print the minutes and bring
them with you to the next Board meeting on November 14th.
I received a call from Wes Maxwell who works with FM Global,
one of the major insurers of properties protected by the L-385 system.
He has reviewed all of the information which Jason Davis provided at his
request. He also personally inspected the levee with Kevin Street and
Ben Drake. Mr. Maxwell had questions regarding the Levee District
source of funds for operation, maintenance and flood fighting. I
informed him that the sole source for funding these costs at this time
was the annual maintenance tax. He was interested in how the
maintenance taxes were allocated among the properties for imposing the
maintenance tax. At the conclusion of our conversation, Mr. Maxwell
advised me that the L-385 System was one of the best levee systems he
had ever inspected. He was impressed with the condition of the levee
system and the Levee District's performance of its responsibilities to
operate and maintain the system. Mr. Maxwell expressed his appreciation
for the cooperation he received from Affinis and the Levee District in
providing the information he needed to conduct his investigation of the
levee system.
Mr. Maxwell requested that he be allowed to address the
Board at the November 14th meeting to explain the interest of FM Global
in the condition of our levee system as well as the ongoing operation
and maintenance of the system. I advised Mr. Maxwell that I would check
with the Board of Supervisors and would respond to him by the middle of
next week. I think it would be beneficial for the Board to hear Mr.
Maxwell's comments in person. If the Board agrees, I will let Mr.
Maxwell know that he will be on the agenda for the November meeting.
There will also be a presentation by the Executive Director
of MO-ARK at the November meeting. I received an email from John Benson
stating that he will not be able to attend the November 14th meeting due
a conflict in his schedule. If the Corps does not have a representative
at the meeting, we should have sufficient time for the presentations by
Mr. Maxwell and by the MO-ARK representative.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need to
speak with me in the meantime. Thank you.
