Good evening Mayor and Council I will try and keep this brief my name is Aimee Ramsey and I am the assistant director to the Community Development & Public Works department. 61 Stormwater Utility Chapter 17 Overview Enable the Town to participate in the FEMA Community Rating System (CRS) program Addresses the 2012 audit (Community Assistance Visit) by Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Tonight we are here for too discuss changes to Chapter 17 – FLOODPLAIN AND EROSION HAZARD MANAGEMENT ordinance for two reasons. First the Stormwater Utility Division wants to be in a position to be participate in FEMA’s Community Rating System. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary program. It recognizes and encourages community floodplain management activities TO exceeding the minimums. Basically the CRS uses a rating system similar to fire insurance rating to determine flood insurance premium reductions for our residents. CRS rating are from 9 to 1 with most communities entering the program at a Class 9 or Class 8 rating, which entitles residents in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) a 5 percent discount on their flood insurance premiums. Each class produces an additional 5% discount. Secondly, and step one to entering the program is that these changes address deficiencies found in our Town Code from a 2012 audit (Community Assistance Visit) by Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). Our current code is non-compliant. 62 Chapter 17 Changes Meets state compliance requirements from 2010 Eliminates antiquated language Eliminates redundancies Add required language from the model state ordinance. Notable Changes Our last update to this ordinance was in 2005. Significant state code changes were made in 2010. And our Town Code does NOT reflect those changes. In addition, what is before you eliminates antiquated language, eliminates redundancies and add required language from the model state ordinance. You also have in your packet a list of notable change. If you would like to address those I will bring Justin Turner our Senior Stormwater Engineer to the podium to address any technical changes. – 63 Stormwater Utility Overview Reviewed by ADWR Reviewed by the Stormwater Utility Commission Reviewed by Staff Reviewed by the Town Engineer He has spent numerous hours working with ADWR, staff and the Town Engineer on the document in front of you.
