5.		Old Business

	a.	Dewberry Presents Draft Weighing of Selection Criteria Mike Hanson, Co-Project Manager, Dewberry, presented the two options for weighing the draft Project Selection Criteria: Option 1 - Created a point system in which Environmental, Economic and Infrastructure projects had an equal total amount of points while Baseline and Bonus were less. Option 2 - Designed a point system that relied on the public survey to weigh each category. Environment having the highest amount of points, then Infrastructure, Economic, Baseline, and then Bonus criteria.

	b.	Discussion on Draft Weighing of Selection Criteria The Committee was also presented with a third option for weighing the selection criteria provided by RESTORE Escambia. There was much concern with Dewberry being the sole entity to be the assigning these scores from the Committee. Dewberry reassured the Committee that they would be using these numbers as technical scores only to see how feasible a project is. The Committee would be able to review all projects and rank them how they see fit. The Committee requested more time to review these options before discussing which option they preferred.

6.		New Business

	a.	Dewberry Presents RESTORE Project Selection Process Mr. Hanson presented the RESTORE Project Selection Process to the Committee. The goal of this general timeline was to give the Committee an overview of the RESTORE process. The timeline shows the course in which projects must travel through in order to ascend from the Public to Treasury and how Dewberry is a resource along the way. Additionally, it points out the separation between project submittals and project awards. Vice-Chair Alan McMillan asked the question as to how the Committee would proceed once the first Multi-Year Implementation Plan was submitted. This question was unresolved.
