Performance Goals

4.1 COMPLIANCE WITH FEMA'S PERFORMANCE METRICS

In November 2003, FEMA announced performance metrics for Fiscal Years 2004 through 2008.
For each fiscal year in that five-year period, FEMA stated its expectations with regard to four
categories of performance (% of State population served by on-line GIS data; % of State
population with adopted GIS maps; % of dollars leveraged; % of funding provided through
CTPs). The following specific standards were adopted for FY 2004:

. 20 percent of State population (as represented by communities) have digital GIS flood
data available on-line

. 10 percent of State population (as represented by communities) have adopted
modernized GIS flood maps

. 20% leveraged effort toward digital GIS flood hazard data

. 20 percent of Map Modernization (appropriated) funding put through to CTPs (States
and locals)

CWCB, with significant cooperation from UDFCD, is already making significant progress
toward the first two goals, both of which relate to the percentage of population served. The third
and fourth goals were already met for FY 2003, and CWCB anticipates that they will be met for
all future program years. The accomplishments through FY 2003 funding are shown below.

. First Performance Goal- 14.8% of Colorado's population has DFIRMs in progress or
completed as a result of work prior to FY '03; an additional 23.5 % of Colorado's
population has DFIRMs in progress as a result of work funded in FY '03. Once all of
these maps are available on-line, the total population served will be 38.3% of Colorado's
population, or almost 20% of the population of all 6 states in FEMA Region VIII.

. Second Performance Goal- Only the Jefferson County DFIRM has been completed to
date. Jefferson County represents 12.1% of Colorado's population. Once FEMA and
Baker Engineers have completed their review of and finalization of the Colorado
preliminary DFRIMs, for FY '03 and all subsequent years, CWCB and UDFCD will
work with all counties as their maps are finalized to ensure that the adoption process goes
as quickly and smoothly as possible.

. Third Performance Goal - CWCB and UDFCD, along with several of the local
governments, collectively exceeded the 20% target for local cost share in FY '03, as
demonstrated in Table 3.3, shown in Section 3.1.10 ofthis report.

. Fourth Performance Goal - All of the studies being funded with FY '03 moneys are
being implemented through the two CTPs in Colorado.

Table 4.1 below shows the performance metrics for the future years of map modernization.
