process toenhance the City's F|oodp|ain Management Plan (FK8P). That process has been completed
and this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) recommends adoption of the eOhaDcedFK8P.
The process to develop the enhanced FPWP included three Stakeholder meetings, two public meetings,
and dedicated social media outreach efforts and questionnaires posted to the City's xvebaiba. The
enhanced FMP follows the FEK8A 10-etep planning prot000|, and achieves the following goals:

participated in CRS since 2O12. and is currently rated 8o 8 Level 8 CRS community, earning @ 10 percent
premium discount on eligible flood insurance policies. Staff believes that the CRS level can be improved to
