Kevin (continued) I am invested to see that the Master plan for So Bo Creek is completed. Limits: get this thing where we have hydrology - road map. May divine a new hydrology. .. SoBo Creek FAD: fiasco. Corps never ended the jo b. District hired Greenhorn and Omeara and said "just fmish it." We missed the boat. Earlier floodplain was larger. Reason: only a little bit of money. Didn't do the right job. Taggart: subsequent involvement. Taggart discovered that the Corps had missed an area. Missed part of watershed. Why I mayor may not stay (with this group): danger of the Process. To create a community model, you need the data to support it. Different people running <models> will come up with different numbers. WHY? The floodplain for this City/County is not big enough. You will come up with a bigger floodplain. Don't want to get into the methods for design and construction. New model, new scenario - add together the skills and resources at this table. Also a representative to the National Hydrological Warning (?) Council- advisory committee on water info - Dept oflnterior hydrology subcommittee Bulletin 17: bible of surface water flood hydrology. Effort to present and revisit this. Multi-year initiative. Pedro: Role of committee not to defme a community standard. Stand for floodplain delineation: hydrology, hydraulics avoid mistakes of the past - make sure we get this right focus on hydrology. Study that we can defend. Role- citizens of So Boulder - we have to answer questions - 1400 houses subject to flooding. Original intent: So Bo Creek must be solved. Interest is to get to a place where (hydrology) most reasonable, accurate, people can support. Alan T: I would like to come up with model can apply to other basins in city. Alison B: We are approaching our growth cap. 5-10% of riparian areas left to manage. (Need to) look long term to see if the 5 - 10% left can be used to address mistakes of the past.
