GIS Manager Zakk Hess told supervisors he compiled a spreadsheet showing parcels that intersect the 100-year floodplain; he said any structure 450 square feet or larger that intersects the floodplain is required to carry flood insurance and demonstrated how supervisors can use the distributed spreadsheet to identify affected parcels. The minutes record that he distributed the data and provided live navigation guidance so supervisors could access parcel details.
