<br />The Council agreed that each organization represented should identifY an alternate'':"
<br />Council member to assure adequate representation should a member be unable to fulfill his 'oj'her
<br />obligations. At the September meeting, the Council was advised that alternates could be'>.
<br />appointed by FEMA if the individual nominated would comply with the necessary financial "~,

<br />advice was incorrect. No alternates have yet been nominated or appointed. The issue is still
