Flooding and Natural <br /> Hazazd, into Chapter 27, the County's Floodplain Management law <br /> • requiring the creation of an integrated electronic informational database•that will accessible to all <br /> County agencies and the general public. <br /> • requiring 30-year old flood maps to be updated and expanded to include not only FEMA flood <br /> channels, but numerous mauka/makai "historic ditches" that only flow intermittently during high <br /> rainfall events. <br /> Finally, I oppose Communication 176.40 from Public Works Director Bruce McClure requesting <br /> postponement of the above amendments being proposed by Council members Brenda Ford and Pete <br /> Hoffmann. <br /> i-~6.s3 <br /> Cr~mr.~.
