evidence as Exhibit 1 and there is no copy of what was faxed to FEMA attached

for the trailer, they haven't even discussed it other than an brief comment last

anything since then. Mr. Wagner asked Ms. Card why didn't she contact FEMA
and ask that they relocate her to another location? Ms. Card replied if I call

them and ask them to move it they are probably going to take it. Ms. Card
stated that even if they moved it to some camp ground we couldn't afford to live
in it because we would have lot rent, hook up, water and all that stuff. Plus the
trailer payment, mortgage payment, electric and water at the home; we would
be doubling everything and that would put us further behind on our coverage.
Mr. Wagner stated to Ms. Card that if she was not living in the house and moved
the trailer to an approved campsite, then she could cut off the utilities to the
house and use that to pay lot rent at the campsite. Ms. Card stated that she is
required to keep the air and heat running so that the mold does not get worse.
Ms. Johnson asked, Ms. Nandial how long she has been working with Ms. Card?
Ms. Nandlal replied since 2004. Ms. Nandial stated that she has contact with Ms.
Card every single day. Chairwoman Johnson requested that the record reflect
that the Board members each received a copy of Volusia Inter-Faith/Agencies
Networking in Disaster (VIND) brochure as Exhibit 2 along with a business card
of Kourtnie James Nandial as Exhibit 3. Chairwoman Johnson closed the public
hearing. The Board discussed the case in length. 1
