. Rcsidents of the South Boulder Creek floodplain will havc to bc notified of the flood risks
prior to this years flood scason. Thc public needs to be informed of the flood hazards.

. The flood warning plan for South Boulder Crcck could be updated to include residcnts in the
unmapped portion of the floodplain.

. All entities at the meeting agreed to cooperate and participate in a master planning cffort
which would address long-term mitigation strategies for South Boulder Creek. The Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District will need participants to agree on a scope-of-work,
funding shares, and schcdule. It is possible to go dircctly into master planning and
implementation, and by-pass the map revision process in thc immediate future.

. FEMA should not initiatc a map rcvision of thc South Bouldcr Crcek floodplain until the
Icvce certification process is complete. If the levee certification is granted, the existing
floodplain mapping along the property, which already assumcs a lcvee, will be fairly
accurate. If the levee ccrtification is not grantcd, then thc floodplain should be redefined to
reflect "without levce" conditions. In either case, the additional floodplain areas downstream
of the levee (i.e. Keewaydin subdivision) should be appropriately mapped. The mapping
update could either takc place I) after the levee certification process and before the master
planning process, or 2) after the levee certification process and aftcr thc master
planning/implementation process.
