DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Disaster Coordinator Russell Coile reports that FEMA funding for the Coordinator's position is in jeopardy. The funding stream has been diverted and it appears as though the County will not receive enough fiscal support to finance one- half the salaries of their emergency management personnel (this has been the level of funding in the past). Thus, it is doubtful that the County will pass through any funds to the twelve cities. Staff is reviewing the situation and will prepare a report to Council at the appropriate time. Meanwhile, Dr. Coile is still attending training sessions, giving lectures. and continually fine- tuning our disaster preparedness capabilities. 1,!OUSEHOLD HAZARDOUR WACTE COLLECTION The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event, held at the Pacific Grove Middle School. was a tremendous success.
