Please complete the buyout survey provided by the city as soon as possible. 59 residents have not responded and the city would like all response back by 8/7 for upcoming meetings.

You can fill out the survey online using this link: http://www.icgov.org/default/?id=1889

You were also mailed a survey which you can complete and return in the self address, stamped envelope that was provided.

Please complete the survey to show your interest in our neighborhood.

Subject: Buyout clarification
All,After speaking with another resident, I thought it would be worth mentioning that responding "yes" to the city's survey does not commit you to the buyout. It only shows you are interested.Once the City and FEMA have selected homes based on their mitigation plan, and your home is one of the properties they wish to purchase, then you will be approached to see if you are still interested in buyout.According to FEMA's literature on HMGP buyouts, the owner agrees to sell to the City once they are ready to move. You can live in your house for as long as you like, even years. You agree to sell to the City once you are ready to move at fair market value. Basically, you are guaranteed a buyer for your home.
