Dunn County accepts second reading of updated floodplain ordinance to retain NFIP eligibility
Summary
The board accepted the second reading of an updated Floodplain Ordinance presented by Code Administrator Sandy Rohde, a step the county said is required to remain in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Dunn County commissioners voted unanimously on March 18 to accept the second reading of an updated Floodplain Ordinance so the county can remain in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Code Administrator Sandy Rohde presented the ordinance and told commissioners the update is required for continued NFIP participation. Commissioner Olson moved to accept the second reading; Commissioner Pelton seconded the motion and all voted aye.
Why it matters: Remaining in the National Flood Insurance Program preserves a mechanism for property owners to obtain federally backed flood insurance and maintains eligibility for certain federal disaster assistance tied to NFIP compliance. The ordinance text and specific changes were provided to the board by the code office at a prior meeting; commissioners acted to accept the second reading on the record.
Next steps: The county will complete the ordinance adoption process as required by county procedures and maintain NFIP compliance.
