Executiue Summary The CWCB is interested in performing these duties in partnership with FEMA, as we believe that only through partnership will we be able to leverage our resources so that both FEMA's performance goals and CWCB's goal to provide accurate flood hazard data to residents of Colorado can be achieved. Pro~ram Plan - Required Resources Achieving the above objectives will require added Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) production capability and increased proj ect management and Information Technology (IT) resources. The resources that the CWCB has identified to achieve the above objectives include: • Engineering Consultants for DFIRM production • Mapping Coordinator for program management assistance • Information Technology hardware, software, and database maintenance To date the CWCB has selected two contractor teams and is producing its first DFIRMs. There is, however, still much ground to cover in the areas of program management and IT. There is also a need for sufficient additional funding to utilize the contractors to their full capability. Performance Goals FEMA has established performance goals attached to Map Modernization funding. These goals can only be achieved if adequate funding is provided by FEMA and sufficient commitment and capabilities come from the local level. The CWCB is committed to helping FEMA achieve these obj ectives, provided that Map Modernization in Colorado is adequately funded. . This Plan demonstrates that achieving the performance targets will require a substantial increase in funding compared to current levels, even at the lowest level described in this report.

Per FEMA's request, funding levels of Full, Medium, and Low are included in this Business Plan. In addition to these three levels, a fourth level has been added that is representative of the funding received to date. Additionally, a program schedule has been included that accommodates the three different fiscal schedules that are impacted by a DFIRM revision; Federal (October - September), State (July - June), and Local (January - December). It is important to plan for these three fiscal schedules, because governmental decisions about Colorado Business Case Plan (Final Draft) ES-2
