LAPAC debates flood-map language, flags Grigsby Riffle and historical decrees for follow-up
Summary
The committee removed a proposal to task the county with updating federal flood-insurance maps and instead kept standard floodplain-management language while flagging the Grigsby Riffle, Gopsevich and Beverly decrees, and the need to consult the Army Corps of Engineers for follow-up.
Members questioned a provision that would ask the county to update federal flood-insurance maps and instead struck that sentence from the plan. Staff emphasized standard floodplain-management practices should remain for designated 100-year floodplains and that storage of hazardous materials in floodplains should be prohibited.
The discussion turned to the historic Grigsby Riffle and long-standing water agreements such as the Gopsevich and Rumsey decrees; committee members asked staff to contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to clarify whether previous proposals (including past dredging or sandbar removal arrangements with Yolo County flood control) remain active obligations or require updating. The committee agreed to revisit the item in future meetings during public review.
