Lazy Lake council adopts updated floodplain management ordinance
Summary
The Village of Lazy Lake on Sept. 24 adopted Ordinance 25-02 to update its floodplain management rules, designate the mayor as Floodplain Administrator and set the effective date for revised flood insurance maps; the measure passed 5-0.
The Village Council of Lazy Lake voted on Sept. 24 to adopt Ordinance 25-02 amending the village's floodplain management ordinance. The changes identify the effective date of the revised flood insurance study and rate maps, designate the mayor as the Floodplain Administrator for the village, and update the definition of market value.
Councilmember Jeff Grenell moved to approve the ordinance on second reading; Councilmember Warren Nadeau seconded. The motion passed 5-0, recorded in the minutes as an adoption on second reading.
Council members discussed that operational administration of floodplain duties may best be handled through an Interlocal Agreement with Broward County, which could provide staff and technical expertise to act as Floodplain Administrator on behalf of the village. The council described that step as a likely next action to implement the ordinance rather than part of the ordinance text itself.
The ordinance is intended to align the village's local code with the revised federal flood insurance maps and to clarify local administrative responsibility for floodplain determinations. The minutes do not record individual roll-call votes by name; the record shows a 5-0 tally in favor of adoption.
