<br />Community response: This study was prepared by FEMA in cooperation with the Urban Drainage and
<br />Flood Control District (UD&FCD) and the City and County of Denver as part of the National Map
<br />Modernization Program. One key element of the Map Modernization Program is community
<br />involvement throughout the process. Prior to publishing the new study, a final coordination meeting was
<br />held in which members ofFEMA, UD&FCD, CWCB, and the City and County of Denver were present.
<br />The study was fully accepted and endorsed by all agencies at this meeting.
<br />Staff findings: The subject Flood Insurance Study revises and therefore supersedes previous versions of
<br />the City's regulatory floodplain information. CWCB staff has determined that the subject floodplain
<br />information for the City and County of Denver is in conformance with the CWCB's rules and regulations
<br />for floodplain designation and approval.
<br />Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board: 1) designate and approve the 100-year detailed
<br />and approximate floodplain information contained in said report for the City and County of Denver, and
<br />2) authorize staff to prepare a floodplain resolution to be signed by the Director and transmitted to the
<br />City and County of Denver, UD&FCD, and FEMA. This action is recommended in order to meet
<br />statutory requirements.
