Program Grant Status: A grant request for $16,301 was submitted on 5/18/09, and $11,000 was approved for the grant period of 6/1/09 to 4/30/10.

Homeland Security Oversight Committee: No Report. Rueff and Massey indicated they would approach the new sheriff and inform him of the activities of PCDC.

FEMA Presentation: No report.

Medical Reserve Corps: Waltman reported that 35 volunteers are trained and on board. The current grant allows for joint training exercises between MRC and the PCRMC 50-bed mobile hospital.

Shelters: No report.
