Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final September 23, 2025 Attachments: 501 RLAA Final Report Public Works Director Addie Javed introduced the item before turning it over to Denise Boehning, Certified Public Floodplain Manager with Coastal Waterways Design and Engineering. Ms. Bochning informed the Board that the County was part of the Community Rating System (CRS) where communities that adopted and enforced higher standards for floodplain management could earn discounts for residents' flood insurance premiums. The County was currently a Class 5 community which earned a 25 percent discount on insurance rates. Part of the rating system involved tracking and addressing Repetitive Loss (RL) properties. Because the County had more than 50 RL properties, a Repetitive Loss Area Analysis (RLAA) report was required. The report contained research on the properties and recommended site-specific mitigation solutions. The full report was included as part of staffs memo, dated September 4, 2025. Under discussion, Commissioner Moss received information regarding the overlap between RLAA properties and ones needing a septic to sewer conversion. The Commissioner also entered into discussion with staff regarding best management practices to avoid having new higher -elevated properties flood older lower -elevated properties. A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Commissioner Moss, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman Loar, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss K. Sandridge Golf Club L.
