The existing ordinance was found <br />to be inconsistent with other floodplain ordinances and out of compliance with MN <br />Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Federal Emergency Management Association <br />(FEMA) requirements. The proposed revisions to the floodplain ordinance were necessary to <br />allow Hugo's participation in the Floodplain Insurance Program. The Council directed staff <br />to submit the revised ordinance to the MN DNR for their comments. If the DNR finds the <br />plan to be satisfactory, a public hearing will be held at the Planning Commission. Should the <br />DNR recommend substantial changes to the document, staff will bring it back to the Council <br />for their review. <br />All aye. Motion carried. <br />Adjournment <br />Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to adjourn at 8:48 a.m. <br />All aye. Motion carried. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Michael A. Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
