REGULAR MEETING MAY 27 1975
<br />REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (CONTINUED)
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Rollin Farrand, Director of the
<br />Department of Public Works, explained that the resolution was needed as a part of the continuing
<br />process to enable residents and property owners to continue to be eligible for flood insurance.
<br />He referred to the resolution passed by the Common Council in 1971 concerning the flood insurance
<br />program. The proposed resolution would establish review procedures for development in special
<br />flood hazard areas. He stated that failure to pass the follow -up resolution would result in the
<br />inability of any developer or property owner to receive a loan from a federally insured lending
<br />institution or to be eligible for any federal funding in a flood plain area. He stated that, by
<br />July 1, the city must have certain legislation which was covered in the resolution. Councilman
<br />Miller wondered where the flood plain was located, and Mr. Farrand indicated that the flood plain
<br />map depicted the area along the St. Joseph River and the map was available in the Engineer's Office
<br />Councilman Kopczynski wondered if any federal tax money would be required for the project now or
<br />in the future. Mr. Farrand indicated that he could not think of any way in which the program wouR
<br />cost tax dollars. He stated that the Building Department would have to check building plans and
<br />he felt this could be incorporated into regular procedures. He indicated that, to completely floor
<br />proof areas, some money would be involved in order to save land and buildings. He felt such an
<br />expense would be worth it.
<br />Councilman Serge made a motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. The
<br />resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller,
<br />Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Nemeth, Newburn and Parent).

<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Keith Crighton, Manager of the
<br />Bureau of Housing, indicated that the resolution was necessitated because of a change order in a
<br />contract with Ted Combs. The request for change orders was in the amount of $887 in order to
<br />replace waste lines and install new venting. He indicated that these conditions did not comply
<br />with the city code and were not known at the time the contract was let.
<br />Councilman Miller made a motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilman Serge. The
<br />resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller,
<br />Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Nemeth, Newburn and Parent). Council President Parent reminded
<br />Councilman Miller that procedures of this type had been referred to his committee for study. He
<br />asked that the committee submit its report concerning this matter sometime in the near future.
