F-1. PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION FOR 2009 COMPREHENSIVE FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT PLAN AND PROGRAM Pursuant to A.R.S. §48-3616 B, convene the scheduled public hearing, to solicit comments and consider the adoption of Resolution 2009R011, 2009 Comprehensive Floodplain Management Plan and Program. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective October 7, 2009. Arizona Revised Statute Section 48-3616 states that a report ".shall be prepared at least every five years beginning in 1985 and shall indicate the past efforts of the district in eliminating or minimizing flood control problems and state the planned future work of the district to eliminate or minimize flood control problems." This report requirement is in addition to the Capital Improvement Program that must be prepared annually. As the administrator of the National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) for unincorporated Maricopa County, the District is also tasked with completing a floodplain management plan. The floodplain management plan must review and recommend a program of activities to address the county’s vulnerability to flooding and educate residents about loss reduction measures and the beneficial functions of floodplains. The NFIP awards credits for the Plan, which result in lower flood insurance rates within the unincorporated county. Maricopa County is currently rated CRS Class 5, which results in up to a 25% reduction in flood insurance rates within the unincorporated county. (C-69-10-015-6-00)
