Williams- Octalien, regarding the Office of Disaster Recovery’s (ODR) non-participation in the oversight hearing scheduled for Wednesday, November 19, 2025, on St. Croix. As outlined in the official hearing agenda, the Committee requested ODR’s participation to: “Review funding disbursements, contractor oversight, and compliance with all applicable federal and local regulations. The Committee requests a summary of all ODR-administered grants supporting this project.” Given ODR’s vital oversight role in this federally supported redevelopment effort, we respectfully request that a designee be assigned to appear and provide oral testimony in lieu of the Director, should her schedule not permit direct attendance. Alternatively, if ODR must remain absent, we kindly request that a formal Letter of Non-Appearance be submitted no later than Tuesday, November 18, 2025, by 3:00 PM, to ensure inclusion in the official hearing record. The letter should: Confirm ODR’s position regarding the hearing; Explain the reason for non-attendance; Indicate whether written testimony will be submitted; Identify a point of contact for any post-hearing inquiries. Thank you for your continued cooperation and commitment to interagency, transparency, and public accountability. Please don’t hesitate to reach out should you require any clarification.
