Seaview Terrace Neighbors. Dale Rowley (Waldo County EMA), City Council, Mayor and City Manager,


In addition to City Manager, Joe Slocum forced flooding the Flood Zone A properties on Seaview Terrace illegally and unethically, he has refused to put Seaview Terrace into the Northport Ave TIF via the WCGH Annex addition 2012, which would open up major funding to fix Seaview Terrace after 35 years of forced City run off slaughter from miles outside of Seaview Terrace. He has refused to form a mitigation plan with Waldo County EMA which when his slaughter sends us under, would at least provide assistance and funding to Belfast and residents in recovery efforts. In the 4/1/14 City Council Meeting, first communications, Council Mike Hurley is once again, tainting the public (as do Marshall and Slocum), trying to paint me as neurotic for stating that City Manager Joe Slocum and City Planner Wayne Marshall should be fired for the corruption and abuse to residents. Hurley states that is not going to happen and he is waiting for me request time cards from City employees. He wishes he could fine a way to MAKE ME WHOLE AND FIND PEACE. Oyyy Veh.

In 9/2011, in writing Joe admits then that this City road was in BAD shape. Now, the road is busted up, heaving from all the water and no where to drain except to me. He is in a pickle because he is forced to deal with the road and is refusing to allot proper funding to repair this mess with sewer infrastructure inside and outside of Seaview Terrace. In the 4/1/14 meeting Hurley also references the flooding in the UK, Mother Nature... These 3 City Hall officials are leading the lambs to slaughter. Except for one little lamb....

City Hall has back themselves into the corner. It is a pity that they were not proactive and accountable. Placing a band aid on the gaping wound they have sliced on Seaview Terrace resolves NOTHING. The wound further infects... after four years of documenting and pleading, I am not allowing for amputation. Save Seaview, Save Belfast.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

 Per the 4/1/14 City Hall meeting http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/04012014-1068/#2 ,
Click #6 open to the public ff to 5:56. I had sent an email to Council, Mayor and City Manager and am reading from that. Per the State of Maine Municipal Association property taxes go first to education and basic municipal services (fire, police, rescue services, trash disposal, road upkeep and upgrades, clean air, and enforcement of health and safety codes. After those are satisfied, than to libraries, recreation, etc. 

Click #7 communications ff to 2:55 Slocum, Hurley and David Smith take liberty to discredit me, they could have told me to stay, Joe didn't speak at all when I asked him for the documents. They know I leave. 

Click #11 for the 2nd time I come back for open to the public and fly with facts and proof.
it will go right into 12 with Hurley, Slocum and Marshall repairing their web.

Federal Insurance & Mitigation Administration




What We Do

FIMA manages the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and a range of programs designed to reduce future losses to homes, businesses, schools, public buildings, and critical facilities from floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.
Mitigation focuses on breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Mitigation efforts provide value to the American people by creating safer communities and reducing loss of life and property. Mitigation includes such activities as:
  • Complying with or exceeding NFIP floodplain management regulations.
  • Enforcing stringent building codes, flood-proofing requirements, seismic design standards, and wind-bracing requirements for new construction or repairing existing buildings.
  • Adopting zoning ordinances that steer development away from areas subject to flooding, storm surge or coastal erosion.
  • Retrofitting public buildings to withstand hurricane-strength winds or ground shaking.
  • Acquiring damaged homes or businesses in flood-prone areas, relocating the structures, and returning the property to open space, wetlands or recreational uses.
  • Building community shelters and tornado safe rooms to help protect people in their homes, public buildings and schools in hurricane- and tornado-prone areas.

Mitigation’s Value to Society

  1. Mitigation creates safer communities by reducing losses of life and property.
  2. Mitigation enables individuals and communities to recover more rapidly from disasters.
  3. Mitigation lessens the financial impact of disasters on individuals, the Treasury, State, local and Tribal communities.

Who We Are

Hazard Mitigation is sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from hazards and their effects.
FIMA was established on November 29, 1993. At that time, Mitigation became the cornerstone of emergency management, for the first time in the history of Federal disaster assistance. The mission of the agency has shifted significantly since 1993, most notably through the creation of a separate and distinct group. FEMA's partners include a broad spectrum of stakeholders in Federal, State, Tribal, and local government, and the private sector. Partners also include professional associations and non-governmental groups involved in public policy and administration, insurance, higher education, the building sciences, and urban planning.
