CHAPTER 1. PLANNING PARTNER PARTICIPATION <br />2 <br />– Each partner will support and participate in the selection and function of the Steering <br />Committee overseeing the development of the plan. Support includes allowing this body to <br />make decisions regarding plan development and scope on behalf of the partnership. <br />– Each partner will provide support for the public involvement strategy developed by the Steering <br />Committee in the form of mailing lists, possible meeting space, and media outreach such as <br />newsletters, newspapers or direct-mailed brochures. <br />– Each partner will participate in plan development activities such as Steering Committee <br />meetings, public meetings or open houses, workshops and planning partner training <br />sessions, and public review and comment periods prior to adoption. <br /> Attendance will be tracked at such activities, and attendance records will be used to track and <br />document participation for each planning partner. No minimum level of participation will be <br />established, but each planning partner should attempt to attend all such activities. <br />– Each partner will be expected to perform a “consistency review” of all technical studies, plans, <br />and ordinances specific to hazards identified within the planning area to determine the <br />existence of plans, studies or ordinances not consistent with the equivalent documents reviewed <br />in preparation of the County plan. For example: if a planning partner has a fl oodplain <br />management plan that makes recommendations that are not consistent with any of the County’s <br />basin plans, that plan will need to be reviewed for probable incorporation into the plan for the <br />partner’s area. <br />– Each partner will be expected to review the risk assessment and identify hazards and <br />vulnerabilities specific to its jurisdiction. Contract resources will provide jurisdiction-specific <br />mapping and technical consultation to aid in this task, but the determination of risk and <br />vulnerability will be up to each partner. <br />– Each partner will be expected to review the mitigation recommendations chosen for the overall <br />county and determine if they will meet the needs of its jurisdiction. Projects within each <br />jurisdiction consistent with the overall plan recommendations will need to be identified, <br />prioritized and reviewed to determine their benefits and costs. <br />– Each partner will be required to create its own action plan that identifies each project, who will <br />oversee the task, how it will be financed and when it is estimated to occur. <br />– Each partner will be required to sponsor at least one public meeting to present the draft plan at <br />least two weeks prior to adoption. <br />– Each partner will be required to formally adopt the plan. <br />It should be noted that by adopting this plan, each planning partner also agrees to the plan implementation <br />and maintenance protocol established in Volume 1. Failure to meet these criteria may result in a partner <br />being dropped from the partnership by the Steering Committee, and thus losing eligibility under the scope <br />of this plan. <br />Linkage Procedures <br />Eligible local jurisdictions that did not participate in development of this hazard mitigation plan may <br />comply with DMA requirements by linking to this plan following the procedures outlined in Appendix B. <br />1.3. ANNEX-PREPARATION PROCESS <br />Templates <br />Templates were created to help the Planning Partners prepare their jurisdiction-specific annexes. Since <br />special purpose districts operate differently from incorporated municipalities, separate templates were
