MAR 31992 BDDK 19 PRE 74 government maps show a 5' level. Mr. Schuler stated that he has filled out an appeal form and wished to file it. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Wodtke, to close the public hearing. Discussion followed about appeals being made by the County, the municipalities, or individual citizens, and Attorney Brandenburg commented that there were two ads, one including the municipalities, since the original intent was to consolidate as much as possible. He stated that the municipalities can respond directly on their own behalf if they so desire, but there is no problem with Commission consideration of an appeal by the gentleman who lives in the City. The appeals must be submitted by March 23, 1982. The Chairman called for the question to close the public hearing. It was voted on and carried unanimously. Chairman Scurlock stated that he had a strong feeling that the Commission feels there is a great inadequacy in the flood map and study; we have had one or two instances shown of gross errors, and he felt we can take the position that we are not in agreement with the official study. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded, by Commissioner Bird, that the Chairman be authorized to forward the appeals heard today and also to express that the feeling of the Commission is that we are placed in an untenable position as far as being able to determine the adequacy of these maps is concerned and that we also are dissatisfied with,the method of rate fixing which funnels together all types of risks in one package. Commissioner Bird asked what it would take to get the additional maps with the sophistication of the map of the hospital area to verify the remainder of the unincorporated area, and it was felt it would be in the area of $300,000 to $400,000; it is a very expensive process.
