The commission adopted on second reading amendments to Chapter 161 of the City Code, "Flood Damage Prevention," to specify elevation requirements for manufactured homes in flood hazard areas and to conform local code with state and federal guidance.
City staff said the revision will help the city lower its Community Rating System (CRS) score and pass future insurance savings on to residents.
