The attached DNR letter gives an overview of the process, and what the city needs to do(i.e., adopt the new maps by <br /> amending/updating your floodplain management ordinance). As noted in the letter,this office will be following up <br /> with you to provide assistance to the county.The position for the staff person who would normally assist with providing <br /> the recommended ordinance-and help with following up—is currently open and in the process of being filled. So I will <br /> be your main contact,and will be following up on the needed ordinance updates within the next 1-2 weeks. If you could <br /> verify the date of your most current ordinance(and whether you have it available online or electronically),that would <br /> be helpful. <br /> The city should receive one hard copy set of the maps. Those have been arriving within about 2 months of that LFD <br /> letter being sent. Be aware that it is typically addressed to the mayor,so they occasionally end up in a corner <br /> somewhere since the person who received the package didn't realize what it was. <br /> As our letter notes,as soon as the digital copies of the map panels,the Flood Insurance Study and the shape files are <br /> available,we will place them on an ftp site at <br /> ftp://ftp.dnr.state.mn.us/pub/waters/floodplain/County data/Anoka/ Those files are normally available within about <br /> a month of the LFD letters. I delayed sending your copy of this letter a bit in hopes we would have those digital files and <br /> I could link directly to them, but they are not yet available. <br /> FYI—I also wanted to mention that we'll be offering our one day floodplain management workshop for local officials <br /> several places around the state in August/September/October.Those nearest to Anoka County will be at: Minnetonka <br /> (9/1),Apple Valley(9/3)& Little Falls(10/1).This will be similar to the one day local official trainings we've offered in the <br /> past, but we always have updated information we have to share. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Ceil Strauss <br /> State Floodplain (NFIP) Manager <br /> DNR Eco/Waters Division <br /> Box 25 <br /> 500 Lafayette Road <br /> St. Paul, MN 55155-4025 <br /> 651-259-5713 (direct) <br /> This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. <br /> For more information please visit http://www.syManteccloud.com <br /> This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. <br /> For more information please visit http://www.symanteccloud.com <br /> 3 <br />
