I think this is probably the one you are looking for. - Embedded Message: --Begin-Embedded-Message-------------------------------------------------------- From: Sara and Steve Benvenutti <cbenvenut@aol.com> To: <governor@governor.state.ms.us> Created: 6/5/2002 11:30 AM Subject: Comments to the Governor Message: Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by Sara and Steve Benvenutti (cbenvenut@aol.com) on Wednesday, June 5, 2002 at 11:30:32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue: We are having difficulty with a program managed by MEMA funded by FEMA. Street_Address: 634 North Beach Blvd City: Bay St Louis State: MS Zip_Code: 39520 Phone: 2 28 467 0616; Message: FEMA has a mitigation program of providing financial incentive to people who live in flood prone areas by providing 75% of the cost of elevating a home to FEMA standards. I have a unique sitiuation that I have discussed at length with the FEMA people in Atlanta (Linda Rankin and Todd Davis) and with the MEMA people(Bob Boteler) and with the Bay St Louis person, Bill Carigee. The FEMA people have been positive and very supportive of this uniqe project. Originally, I was told if FEMA was OK with this, then MEMA would be OK with this project Since that time the city person, Carrigee, maintains that MEMA is not supportive In the fall I spoke with Bob Botler who said he would like to see the project so I made an appointment to see Bob Botler when the governor's office was scheduled to meet in Bay St. Louis but he was not able to attend. His assistant said he was supportive of the project and that I should work with the local person. Now, Bill Carrigee, the local person says that Mr. Botler is not supportive of the project. It seems that the Governor's office is the only entity that can resolve this obvious misunderstanding that exists between the local office and the state office over federal funds for mitigation projects in Mississippi. This is a program which I believe is conceptually an outstanding program which could greatly benefit MS citizens if the difficulty in implementation could be alleviated. Please call me for more details than i can provide in this email. Thank you very much.
