HCHA meeting March 2, 2021 <br />Le: But what is important though is that, those flood insurance rate maps are still <br />in effect so essentially if we were to take any action or buy out on a voluntary <br />bases a property that is in the flood plain that's still in effect even if it may be the <br />land itself may be 70 feet higher than it once was, we have to document <br />basically the status of that property within the flood plain or not, an so, it's more <br />on the paperwork side and it's something that gets processed internally, just like <br />how when you buy a home there's a disclosure around where you are in the <br />flood plain as well or not. <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder: What is the most current flood map that we've adopted? <br />Kern: I don't, that's a good question.

Thank you, Chair. <br />Kierkiewicz: Thank you. Ms. Kimball, you have the floor. <br />Kimball: Thank you. A couple of quick questions and this is because I've never <br />been through this before, so, the administration of this grant is that, all of it going <br />to fall under Planning or, is Finance going to be part of, are they going to have <br />some responsibility as well? <br />Le: We faced this question early on, right, this is the largest grant, close second <br />the COVID funds we received last year that the County's administered. The <br />Recovery Team, which is kind of within the Planning Department administratively <br />tied with Planning will be responsible for administering this grant program but <br />Finance has been very involved from the get go and will continue to be <br />involved, it's a model not that different from the way the County administers <br />other types of grants where the department administering the grant receiving <br />Page 11 of 19 <br />
