The next meeting will be held in FEBRUARY, 2007 — Date to be determined. OJA EXERCISE GUIDELINES Colvard explained, along with a handout from OJA, OJA's guidelines for the funding of exercises. There will be two application rounds of funding. He pointed out that the funding is going to be competitive this year and that we stand a better chance of receiving funding if we can participate in a joint- county exercise. DISCUSSION OF FUTURE JOINT - COUNTY EXERCISE Mehls reviewed a possible scenario with various options that could be used in a joint- county exercise with Polk County. Colvard informed the Committee that he had contacted Polk earlier about participating in the exercise and the OJA Exercise Grant. He has not yet heard back from Polk County whether or not they would like to participate. Malick advised that if Polk County vetoes the joint - county exercise idea, that St. Croix County should still go ahead and hold this exercise. C. Nelson advised that there may be some RTAC funding available for this exercise and that the RTAC could participate in the exercise and thus be able to count the exercise for their exercise requirements also. DISCUSSION OF FUTURE FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE Colvard and Mehls discussed the possibility of doing a functional exercise in the Village of Roberts. This would be a follow -up to a tabletop exercise that had been done there earlier. That exercise was based on a train derailment with the potential release of a hazardous material, which would have affected most of the village. Colvard will contact the village and emergency service agencies to see if they would like to participate in another exercise. Malick volunteered to be on the Exercise Design Team, if the village wishes to participate. A Speer /Borup MOTION was made to go ahead with both the functional exercise and the joint- county exercise and apply for the funding of joint- county exercise through an OJA Exercise Grant. Public Comments None Announcements and Correspondence None Possible Agenda Items for Next Meeting Adjournment — The meeting adjourned at 2:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, LEPC Administrative Secretary
