Item #14 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 16, 2002 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: ADOPT A FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) LETTER OF MAP REVISION (LOMR), DATED JANUARY 22, 2002, AND THE AFFECTED FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP PANELS DATE: APRIL 3. 2002 BACKGROUND: A request (Case No. 01-09-126P) to revise Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) records based upon progress in the Seven Oaks Dam Project was submitted by Mr. Ken Miller, Flood Control Engineer for the San Bernardino County Public Works Department. The Seven Oaks Dam Project.. located approximately 7,600 feet upstream of Greenspot Road in the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County is a component of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project. The request to revise the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for San Bernardino County, California and Incorporated Areas (the effective FIRM and FIS report for our community), was approved. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) was generated by FEMA with an effective date of January 22, 2002, and sent to all cities affected by the revisions. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) and the revised FIRM Panels (06071C8683 F, 0607IC8686 F, 0607IC8687 F, and 0607IC8691 F) have been received by the City of Colton. In order to become effective, which will allow City staff to disperse the revised information, both the LOMR and the FIRM Panels must be adopted by the City Council. The greatest benefit will be to a portion of residents' homes currently designated as a flood hazard area (primarily Zone AE—Areas with base flood elevations). The revised FIRM Panels indicate that a portion of those areas have been re -designated A-99 — Areas to be protected from 100 year flood by Federal flood protection system under construction; no base elevations determined
