strategies. For example, Northwest Management, Inc. and Latah County Disaster Services met individually with the city of Potlatch (Mayor David Brown) and the city of Troy (Dave McGraw) to review the city’s risk assessment and mitigation strategy and ensure their participation in the planning process. Northwest Management also conducted conference calls with the city of Genesee (Mayor Steve Odenburg), the South Latah Highway District (Kevin Renfrow), and the Onaway city council (Mayor Kenny Owens and Diane Nagle) to request specific information, review pertinent sections of the document, discuss hazard events, and update project lists. • Public meetings hosted by multiple jurisdictions involving elected officials, municipality representatives, local volunteers, business community representatives, and local citizenry. Numerous representatives of the planning committee attended public meetings. These meetings were also attended by city councilpersons from the city of Bovill and the city of Kendrick as well as the Latah County LEPC chairman. • Written correspondence was provided at least monthly between the planning committee leadership and each participating jurisdictions updating the cooperators on the progress of the document, making requests for information, and facilitating feedback. All of the participating jurisdictions provided comments to the draft document during the data gathering phase as well as during the various committee and public review processes. • At the request of planning committee leadership, several participating jurisdictions hosted copies of the draft Latah County Multi‐Hazard Mitigation Plan and provided staff to be on hand to answer any questions during the public review phase of the planning process. Like other areas of rural Idaho and the United States, Latah County’s human resources have many demands placed on them in terms of time and availability. A few of the elected officials (county commissioners and city mayors) do not serve in a full‐time capacity; some of them have other employment and serve the community through a convention of community service. Recognizing this and other time constraints, many of the jurisdictions decided to identify a representative to cooperate on the planning committee and then report back to the remainder of their organization on the process and serve as a conduit between the planning committee and the jurisdiction. Planning Committee Meetings The following people participated in planning committee meetings, volunteered time, or responded to elements of the Latah County Multi – Hazard Mitigation Plan’s preparation. Many participants served on the committee as dual representatives of more than one jurisdiction. Initially, each jurisdiction as well as other representatives were personally invited to the first planning committee meeting by Latah County Disaster Services. Additionally, all committee meetings were open to the public. 21

Juliaetta/Kendrick Fire Department/City of Kendrick Committee Meeting Minutes The minutes of each planning committee meeting are included in the Appendices. Public Involvement Public involvement in this plan was made a priority from the inception of the project. There were a number of ways that public involvement was sought and facilitated. In some cases this led to members of the public providing information and seeking an active role in protecting their own homes and businesses, while in other cases it led to the public becoming more aware of the process without becoming directly involved in the planning. News Releases Under the auspices of the Latah County planning committee, periodic press releases were submitted to the Moscow‐Pullman Daily News, the Latah Eagle, and the Lewiston Morning Tribune. Informative flyers were also distributed around town and to local offices within the communities by the committee members. 22
