Commission adopts amendment to flood-damage prevention ordinance in second reading
Summary
On second reading the commission approved ordinance 22-70-18-70 amending the city’s flood-damage prevention ordinance to address federal requirements cited by FEMA.
The Huron City Commission approved the second reading of ordinance 22-70-18-70, an amendment to the city’s flood-damage prevention ordinance previously codified as 22-69-18-69.
City staff member Barry Cranston told the commission the ordinance revision corrects oversights FEMA identified and brings the local ordinance into compliance with federal regulations. Cranston recommended approval; the commission adopted the ordinance on a roll-call vote.
Why it matters: state and local floodplain regulations often must align with federal standards for communities to remain in the National Flood Insurance Program and to meet FEMA requirements.
Vote: second-reading adoption approved by roll call as recorded in the meeting minutes.
Implementation: staff indicated this amendment responds to FEMA’s prior feedback; the ordinance will take effect per normal municipal ordinance timelines.
