Flooding and Natural Hazard, into Chapter 27, the County's <br /> Floodplain Management law <br /> requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database that will accessible to all County agencies and the general public. <br /> • requiring 30-year old Flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood channels, but numerous <br /> mauka/makai "historic ditches' that only flow intermittently during high rainfall events. <br /> Finally, I oppose Communication 176.40 from Public Works Director Bruce McClure requesting postponement of the above <br /> <br /> amendments being proposed by Council members Brenda Ford and Pete Hoffmann. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> <br /> Cory (Martha) Harden <br /> PO Box 10265 <br /> Hilo, Occupied Hawaii 96721 <br /> <br /> 808-968-8965 <br /> m h @ interpac. net <br /> . , . t-. i~6.58,._ <br /> p w~R~ <br /> 5/15/2007 <br /> <br />
