Snowflake council approves engineering contract for FEMA map revision
Summary
The Town of Snowflake voted unanimously to hire Michael Baker International to prepare a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the Industrial Park area after staff said flood-control projects were completed; cost and timeline were not specified.
Snowflake’s Town Council voted Oct. 4 to hire Michael Baker International to prepare a FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the town’s Industrial Park area.
Council members said completed local flood-control projects justify requesting a map revision that could change official floodplain delineations. The council approved the engineering services proposal by motion (mover: Lynn Johnson; second: JoAnne Guderian). The motion passed unanimously with Kerry Ballard absent.
Planning materials and staff notes presented to the council stated the town has completed the necessary flood-control work and now seeks a formal map revision from FEMA; the staff memo named Michael Baker International as the proposed consultant. The transcript does not specify the contract value or a submission timeline.
A successful LOMR can alter which properties are shown inside regulated flood zones and can affect permitting and flood insurance requirements for property owners. Town staff will proceed with the submittal to FEMA, and further details on cost and schedule were not provided at the meeting.
