Meeting Discussions

• 
  Brainstorming session to review potential mitigation actions – the team reviewed a list of potential mitigation actions that had been derived from data collected during the last two committee meetings and the functional interviews. Due to time constraints, there was little discussion on the mitigation actions. It was agreed that the actions would be forwarded to the committee for review, comment, and ranking. This list was forwarded on 10 April 2003.
  
• 
  Formally agree to the mitigation goal statement – A recommended change to the mitigation goal statement was discussed. The committee agreed on the recommended change and formally agreed to the following mitigation goal statement:
  
• 
  “The goal of this plan is to support the City of Pearland’s efforts to protect the community’s health, safety, and welfare by identifying, and increasing public awareness of, natural and man-made hazards, and mitigating risks due to those hazards without creating new problems.”
