Update flood protection rules to meet federal insurance requirements
In Plain English
The city must update its flood damage protection laws to keep residents eligible for federal flood insurance. Current rules don't meet minimum federal standards set by the National Flood Insurance Program. If approved, property owners in flood zones can continue buying federally-backed flood insurance at standard rates.
