Arkansas City adopts 2024 Kansas Region G Hazard Mitigation Plan to maintain flood-insurance benefits
Summary
The commission adopted the 2024 Kansas Region G Hazard Mitigation Plan, which city staff said contains about 14 action items for the city and supports continued Community Rating System discounts for flood insurance.
The Arkansas City Commission voted to adopt the 2024 Kansas Region G Hazard Mitigation Plan after staff summarized its purpose and key provisions.
City Manager Frazier introduced the plan and turned the presentation to Josh (staff), who said the plan identifies regional hazards across South Central Kansas and lists approximately 14 action items that apply to the city, with an emphasis on flood-related measures. Josh told commissioners that adopting the plan qualifies the city for Community Rating System consideration, which helps maintain discounts for flood-policy holders.
Commissioners discussed review timing; the plan is on a five-year cycle and staff said the commission will perform periodic reviews of progress on listed actions. A commissioner moved and a second supported the resolution to adopt the plan; the motion passed by voice vote.
The meeting record does not show a roll-call vote or individual tallies in the transcript. Staff said they would include a progress report in a future packet for commissioners to review.
