FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE – CHUCK JARRELL
Chuck Jarrell addressed the council and said the process for this started about two years ago for the entire county for the flood maps. Since we have obtained better data, we gave the information to FEMA and EPD flood plain division. Consultants created new maps for us. Certain pages are specific to Rutledge. I have inserted City of Rutledge where it applies to Rutledge. The city of Buckhead has adopted theirs and the county has adopted. Bostwick is not in the program but currently working on it. Just asking for the ordinance to be approved. The maps effective January 23rd. This replaces the ordinance, completely replaces chapter 5.
