Lazy Lake adopts updated floodplain management ordinance; mayor named floodplain administrator
Summary
The Village Council approved Ordinance 25-02 on second reading, updating floodplain rules, setting the effective date for revised flood insurance maps and naming the mayor as Floodplain Administrator; council discussed a future interlocal agreement with Broward County for operational administration.
The Village of Lazy Lake Council approved Ordinance 25-02 on second reading Sept. 24, updating the village’s floodplain management code to identify the effective date of revised flood insurance study and rate maps and to update the definition of market value.
The ordinance also names the mayor as the Floodplain Administrator. Council Member Jeff Grenell moved approval on second reading; Council Member Warren Nadeau seconded and the motion passed 5-0. Council members flagged the practical need for an interlocal agreement with Broward County to designate the county as Floodplain Administrator for day-to-day operational expertise, but took no formal action on that agreement at this meeting.
Why it matters: the updates set the local code to align with revised federal flood-insurance mapping and clarify local administrative responsibility. The council did not adopt any operational implementation details; members said they expect to return with discussions about an interlocal agreement with Broward County.
