Analysis
As a requirement to keep the existing FEMA grants associated with mapping and modeling the floodplains, the City must develop and approve an administrative manual associated with the policies and procedures that the City will follow to comply with FEMA regulations. FEMA reviewed the draft manual prior to City staff presenting the manual to you for consideration. City staff request the City Council consider approving the following resolution.
Financial Consideration
A policy and procedures manual for handling FEMA-funded stormwater studies and projects is required to keep the current grants. Future FEMA stormwater grants are also dependent on the City having an administrative manual that complies with the Code of Federal Regulations. No other financial impact will result from this action.
