Council approves updates to municipal floodplain code to maintain NFIP participation (Ordinance 3193)
Summary
Cottage Grove council unanimously adopted Ordinance 3193, updating municipal floodplain prevention code to comply with FEMA/NFIP pre-implementation measures and maintain the city's eligibility for the National Flood Insurance Program.
The Cottage Grove City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 3193 to amend Title 14, Section 14.37.020 (Flood Damage Prevention) of the Cottage Grove Municipal Code. City staff said the changes are required to remain in compliance with FEMA pre-implementation measures for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and to continue to provide flood insurance eligibility for residents.
Planning staff told the council the planning commission held a public hearing on April 23, 2025, and recommended approval of the draft ordinance. Staff recommended council adoption. No members of the public signed up to testify at the hearing and the council closed the record before deliberations.
Councilor Irvin moved adoption of Ordinance 3193; the motion was seconded and carried on a unanimous roll call vote. City attorney Carrie Conley was noted online during the hearing; staff said the ordinance had been available for public review for more than one week prior to the meeting.
Ending: With adoption of the code amendments, city staff reported the city will continue compliance with NFIP requirements; staff will implement the ordinance as adopted and follow related administrative steps for continued program participation.
