No amendment to this chapter may be adopted without a public
hearing first being held before the MCSC upon notice published. Notice
of the hearing shall be published once in a newspaper having a general
circulation within the community. The publication shall not be less
than 15 days nor more than 30 days prior to the hearing. FEMA and
IDNR/OWR shall also be notified prior to adoption of any amendment.
No amendments to this chapter adopted by the City shall become effective
without being passed by the MCSC.
From time to time the lists in Appendix 11 of this chapter need
to be updated to reflect a new or revised FIRM or FIS. Routine revisions
to update these lists are required by FEMA and IDNR/OWR. Public notice
and review of a new or revised FIRM or FIS is required by FEMA and
IDNR/OWR prior to final adoption. The public notice and review process
applies to both the impacted community and individual property owners.
For this reason, the lists in Appendix 11 may be updated by the City
or MCSC without additional public notice over and above that accomplished
by FEMA and IDNR/OWR.
