Mr. Fales advised that the City anticipates receiving a preliminary copy of the revised Flood Hazard Boundary Map in accordance with the advice contained in the letter to the City Manager of July 15, 1975 from Richard W. Krim, Assistant Administrator for Flood Insurance, Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, Washington, D. C. Director of Public Works Pusich referred to maps displayed in the Chambers showing the original boundaries and the revised boundaries, noting that previously the maps indi- cated the entire Downtown and adjacent areas were within flood hazard boundaries. Discussion followed and Mr. Fales and Mr. Pusich commented and replied to questions from Council concerning the flood potential of various areas of the City; the substantial economies for property owners resulting from the staff victory in obtaining changes in the flood hazard maps; and the cost to the City in staff time in correcting federal maps so that they reflect the true flood hazard in the City. MOTION: Titles having been read, Councilman Henderson in- troduced the following resolutions and moved, seconded by Councilman Norris, their adoption: -4- Reg.Mtg. 7/21/75
