QUICK COMMENTS; ITEMS TO ADD TO AGENDA;
 APPROVAL OF MINUTES; ETC.
 Minutes of the previous meeting were approved
 Rick Frye discussed Lopez Island's problems of intrusion of salt
water into drinking water wells.
 Nancy Douglas asked if the island's arsenic, et.al., topsoil
polution problem should fall under the purview of the Safety Committee.
The consensus was that if an "arsenic committee" is to be formed, it
should be an ad hoc committee of the VMICC as a whole.

DISCUSSION/REPORTS
 Nancy Douglas described the details of the "Vashon Island Medical
Disaster Preparedness Seminar" which she has been preparing for over a
year and which is scheduled to take place this coming weekend. Most of
the island's physicians, nurse practioners, paramedics, and several
EMT's are expected to be in attendance. A more detailed report will
take place at next month's meeting.

 Capt. David Germani of the fourth precinct (which includes Vashon)
of the King County Sheriff's Office had been invited to the meeting
with the understanding that he might be unable to attend the May
meeting. He expressed his desire for an introduction to the island and
to field questions and concerns from islanders seeking to exchange
information. He indicated that if he was unable to attend the May
meeting that he would ensure his attendance at the June meeting.

 The KC Sheriff's 4th quarter 99 & annual 1999 reports for Vashon
were circulated for review.

NEW BUSINESS / FUTURE ACTIVITIES
 Mark Salkind suggested that the committee undertake to organize the
emergency preparedness data which the committee has gathered from a
variety of island sources throughout the previous year and a half so as
to better understand and communicate those roles and functions now
being addressed and to identify those which are still in need of being
addressed. This was overwhelming supported by all members present and
we will begin this task at our next meeting.
