AUTHORIZATION FOR LETTER TO FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY STATING THAT THE
CITY WISHES TO ACCELERATE THE CONVERSION FROM EMERGENCY FLOOD INSURANCE TO
PERMANENT INSURANCE PLAN:
City Manager Wicker reported that October 18, 1982 a representative from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency,along with the Engineers from Woodward Clyde, presented
the proposed Federal Insurance Rate Map and a Map showing the designation of flood -
way areas, 100 -year flood areas and 500 -year flood areas. Mr. Wicker advised that
the red area shown on the map was the floodway areas and the land in this area will
have to be utilized as something other than building sites. He stated that there
is one area south of Walnut Street and Highway 518 and including the Corrigan. South
subdivision that will be amended to a AO -1 area. Woodward Clyde found out after
they submitted the maps that a number of flood claims had been filed, hence the
need for placing this in the AO -1 designation for insurance. City Manager Wicker
stated that the City could save approximately three months on the final approval
of the permanent insurance status by filing a letter with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency stating that we have no objections to the Flood Plain Map and
we anticipate no appeals.
It was moved by Councilman Bost, seconded by Councilman Frauenberger that the
Mayor be authorized to send the following letter to the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency:
October 22, 1982
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Region VI, Federal Center
Denton, Texas 76201
Gentlemen:
The City of Pearland would like to request that our program be accelerated
in order to expedite the process for inclusion in the adoption of the Flood
Plain Maps. We feel that the maps, as submitted from Woodward -Clyde
Consultants, are acceptable and we do not anticipate any appeals at this time.
Your assistance in accelerating this program would be appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
