Staff Presentation: Public Works and Utilities Director Kelly Brock stated that approval of Ordinance 24- 1605 on first reading amending Chapter 46, Floods, of Part II, City Code of Ordinances, to update the City's flood regulations to satisfy the Community Rating System (CRS) Class 8 Prerequisite is requested. He then gave a brief overview of the ordinance. The City of Casselberry's current flood ordinance was last updated in 2018 to better align with and be better administered and enforced in conjunction with the Florida Building Code. In 2020, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) established certain minimum prerequisites for communities to qualify for or maintain class ratings of Class 8 or better. The City of Casselberry joined the CRS program in 2019 and has been maintaining the Class 8 status. Participation in and adherence to NFIP requirements allows the City's residents to purchase flood insurance through NFIP. The amendments to City Code being requested via Ordinance 24-1605 will eliminate certain obsolete definitions and provide specific elevation requirements for mobile homes and will facility the City in maintaining Class 8 under the CRS program which helps lower flood insurance rates for Casselberry residents. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works and Utilities Director recommended approval of Ordinance 24-1605 on first reading. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Ordinance 24-1605. MOTION: Commissioner Busch moved to approve Ordinance 24-1605 on first reading, as presented.
