INTRODUCED BY: PAUL J. HOGAN, PE, COUNCILMAN, DISTRICT IV
RESOLUTION NO.
Title
A resolution requesting that the St. Charles Parish Administration send a letter to FEMA indicating that the Parish does not accept FEMA's current approach to the mapping of the Parish's non-accredited levee systems and that it prepares and submits, prior to the deadline date for appeals, an appeal to the current mapping approach which shall include supporting data and documentation upon FEMA providing the Parish with guidance regarding a revised levee analysis and mapping approach to be used in determining the impact of the non-accredited levees.
Body
WHEREAS, an appeal is warranted due to the fact that the Parish's west bank levees were not taken into account during the preparation of the DFIRMs which resulted in higher base flood elevations than would have been realized had the levees been recognized.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby request that the St. Charles Parish Administration send a letter to FEMA indicating that the Parish does not accept FEMA's current approach to the mapping of the Parish's non-accredited levee systems and that it prepares and submits, prior to the deadline date for appeals, an appeal to the current mapping approach which shall include supporting data and documentation upon FEMA providing the Parish with guidance regarding a revised levee analysis and mapping approach to be used in determining the impact of the non-accredited levees.
Vote

And the resolution was declared adopted this day of , 2013, to become effective five (5) days after publication in the Official Journal.
