City Council Study Session Summary February 17, 2022 Page 2 of 2 We are continuing to work to get funding from DOLA to hire a site superintendent to coordinate construction in the neighborhoods. We are working in conjunction with Superior on an contract. We will do an RFP process. We are looking for a company that do this work and that has the ability to staff up and down as needed. The County has received about 500 right -of -entry forms for debris removal of the total 554 homes destroyed. We also have 30 demo permit applications already submitted to the Planning Department with 16-18 of them approved and underway. We are working to contact the remaining 20 or so about if they want to participate in the group debris removal process or if they plan to opt out. On February 25th and 26th there will be a Builders Expo, Planning and Building will have a table there. The table will also have information for displaced residents on how to update their voter registration. Councilmember Dickinson stated people have a hard time understanding rebuild versus new build so some clarity on that would be helpful. Additionally, information about how the FEMA process and how it affects insurance payments would be helpful for residents. Councilmember Most stated people in the burn area are getting bills from Xcel that are not correct. Councilmember Most would like the City to consider hiring a crisis communications team. Councilmember Leh stated everyone needs to be careful about putting out any information that may not be official or confirmed yet. Adjourned 10:02 am. Submitted 2117122 Meredyth Muth
