Old Business
Mike Schantz noted that the Grant cycle is coming up and we have to plan and conduct an exercise related to Hazardous Materials and that it must consist of 20% direct and indirect expenses. He noted that a seminar, workshop or tabletop exercise would be best for this year and that a pipeline related topic would be a good fit. The exercise plan must be submitted by June 16 for us to qualify for the 2014 Grant funding.
Financially we are doing well. In 2011 we received $21,000 and $6,051 in 2012. The balance as of the end of 2012 was $47,658.41.
