Sodus Point board introduces updated flood-damage law, sets public hearing
Summary
The Village Board introduced Local Law No. 2 of 2026 to update its Flood Damage Prevention law to match FEMA's revised maps and keep eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program; the board issued a SEQRA negative declaration and set a September public hearing.
The Sodus Point Village Board on July 16 introduced a proposed Local Law repealing and replacing Local Law No. 4 of 1987 to adopt FEMA's revised Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Maps and maintain the village's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. On a motion by Trustee Nowak, seconded by Trustee Ashnault, the board established itself as SEQRA lead agency and voted to issue a SEQRA Negative Declaration; the motion passed with all voting aye.
Village attorney Amy Kendall told trustees that the village must update its flood-damage law to conform to the new maps and said "the law must be enacted before November 13, 2026." The board directed the mayor to refer the proposed law, the Long Form EAF and the Waterfront Assessment Form to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Wayne County Planning Board and set a public hearing in September 2026. The resolution text and the board's SEQRA findings were entered into the record.
