your contact person for this program; your RMTD Risk Management Committee Representative; a Deputy Agency Director

or higher (or equivalent position), and; head(s) of facilities/maintenance. The goal of this review is to identify claim trends

management strategies to be enhanced through FY2012 and beyond. Reviewers must sign the final page of this report and

submit it to RMTD by October 31, 2011, along with a basic plan to address the occurrence of property claims. (Note: To

3) Submit the following written documentation to Aric Curtiss, RMTD, by June 1, 2012. Documentation should be organized

termination is effective as of the date of the written notice.
