Summary:

This resolution will authorize the signing of the Community Rating System (CRS) recertification. For the County to remain in the CRS Program as a current Class 5, which provides reduced costs for flood insurance within our community, the County must annually certify that it is continuing to implement the activities noted in the annual recertification document as credited under the CRS Program. The savings varies by class.  The estimated savings is approximately 25%. (Cost of flood insurance to the property owners who purchase flood insurance.)

The annual Program for Public Information (PPI) committee meeting was held August 18, 2023 to evaluate the PPI Plan, the committee does not have any recommended updates to the PPI Plan for this annual recertification and a copy of the PPI annual evaluation report is provided to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).

 

A copy of the annual evaluation, progress report for the currently adopted floodplain management plan and PPI are provided to the BOCC through Packetwriter.
