During a recent government meeting, officials addressed the urgent need to adopt a flood damage prevention ordinance. The board recognized the significance of this measure, prompting a public hearing that was scheduled for June 17. Despite not being initially listed on the agenda, members emphasized the necessity of discussing the ordinance to enhance community preparedness against potential flooding.

The board called for a motion to formally add the public hearing to the agenda, highlighting the importance of public input in the decision-making process. This step reflects a proactive approach to addressing environmental challenges and ensuring the safety of residents in flood-prone areas. The adoption of such an ordinance is expected to provide a framework for mitigating flood risks and protecting infrastructure.
