<br />Colorado Springs (see Exhibit 2) has approximately 3,538 <br />residents living in its flood plains. This figure represents <br />37.9% of the regional population. This percentage represents <br />$75,776 of the $200,000 initial warning system cost and $1,894 of <br />the $5,000 annual maintenance cost. <br /> <br />El Paso County has approximately 3,927 residents living in <br />its flood plains. This figure represents 42.0% of the regional <br />population.

A <br />flash flood warning system is a necessary component of wise flood <br />plain management within the Region at this time. It would not <br />significantly reduce property damages during a flood, but it <br />could help save hundreds of lives. <br /> <br />The Pikes Peak Flood Hazard Task Force recommended on <br />September 12, 1986 that local jurisdictions cooperatively fund <br />the development, implementation, and operation of the proposed <br />flood warn~ng system. (See Appendix 1.) The formula for cost <br />distribution suggested was based on the residential occupation of <br />the Region's 100 year flood plains as substantiated in this <br /> <br />35 <br />
