Re: Resolution Adopting the Unified Local Mitigation Strategy
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
City Commission consideration and approval of Resolution Number 74-00 adopting the
Unified Local Mitigation Strategy. This action will qualify the City for additional points under
Activity 510, of the Floodplain Management Planning system. The additional points will
increase the City's rating, providing for a reduction in flood insurance rates for residents.
BACKGROUND:
The City Commission adopted the Palm Beach County Local Mitigation Strategy and
approved the Intedocal Agreement between Palm Beach County and the City at the regular
meeting of February 1, 2000. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
approved credit points of 130-140 for municipalities participating in the Local Mitigation
Strategy. The goal of the Community Rating System (CRS) activities is to lessen
catastrophic related damages through public information, effective code enforcement,
mapping and regulations, flood damage reduction and flood preparedness. As a participating
municipality, the increase in points directly correlates to a higher rating and thus a lower
insurance rate for the community.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending City Commission approve Resolution Number 74-00 adopting the
Unified Local Mitigation Strategy, providing for a severance clause and providing for an
effective date of October 17, 2000.
