RESOLUTION TO BE USED BY CITIES WHEN APPLYING FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE NFIP

Whereas, certain areas of the City of Rich Hill are subject to periodic flooding causing serious damages to properties within these areas; and

Whereas, relief is available in the form of federally subsidized flood insurance as authorized by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968; and

Whereas, it is the intent of this Board of Alderman to require recognition and evaluation of flood hazards in all official actions relating to land use in areas having these hazards; and

Whereas, this body has the legal authority to adopt land use and control measures to reduce future flood losses pursuant to RSMo 79.110.

Now, therefore be it resolved, that this Board of Alderman hereby:

1.        Assures the Federal Insurance Administration that it will enact as necessary, and maintain in force in those areas having flood hazards, adequate land use and control measures with effective enforcement provisions consistent with the Criteria set forth in Section 60.3 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations; and

2.        Vests the Mayor or designee with the responsibility, authority, and means to:

           a.        Assist the Federal Insurance Administrator, at his\her request, in delineating the limits of the areas having special flood hazards;

           b.        Provide such information as the Administrator may request concerning present uses and occupancy of the floodplain areas;

           c.        Cooperate with Federal, State, and local agencies and private firms which undertake to study, survey, map, and identify floodplain areas, and cooperate with neighboring communities and the county with respect to management of adjoining floodplain areas in order to prevent aggravation of existing hazards;

           d.        When received from the Administrator, complete and submit those reports which advise the Administrator on the progress made within the community in the development and implementation of floodplain management measures; and

           e.        Upon occurrence, notify the Administrator in writing whenever the boundaries of the community have been modified by annexation or loss of authority to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations for a particular area.  Included in such notification will be a map of the community, suitable for reproduction, which clearly delineates the new corporate limits or new area for which the community has assumed or relinquished floodplain management regulatory authority.

3.        Appoints the Mayor or designee to maintain for public inspection and to furnish upon request, for the determination of applicable flood insurance risk premium rates any certificates of floodproofing and information on the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures; and

4.        Agrees to take such other official action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the objectives of the Program.
