Solicit and contract mapping contractors The CWCB, through cooperative funding from FEMA and CWCB, previously conducted a pilot study of the tasks involved in DFIRM production and the management tasks associated with flood study production. The results of that investigation found that sufficient work exists to support additional project management staff, identified as a "Mapping Coordinator" in the draft report titled "Colorado's Map Modernization Program - Updating Colorado's Flood Maps". A copy of this report can be requested and obtained from the CWCB. A Mapping Coordinator has been identified as an important. component to the CWCB's Floodplain Mapping Program, particularly to assist with many of the additional program management responsibilities identified above, as well as some of the Information Technology requirements mentioned in subsection 3.2.3 below. As such the Mapping Coordinator position has been accounted for in the budget of this Plan, according to the aforementioned Full, Medium, and Low funding levels. Additional information on the tasks and associated costs for the Mapping Coordinator position are detailed in Section Five of this report, however the CWCB requests funding for a Mapping Coordinator of $100,000 per year for each of the 5 years represented in this Plan (2004-2008).
