7. Current MRWMP
Voluntary property acquisition for 13 structures on Sunny Point Peninsula in Glendale
After District development of overall guidelines, work with each municipality on voluntary floodproofing, elevating structures, or voluntary acquisition
Open space created in areas where structures are removed would remain in public ownership and be prohibited from future development
Estabrook Dam Removal

8. Existing MRWMP Implementation Progress
District removed Estabrook Dam
Updated floodplain modeling, being reviewed and adopted
Once adopted, will reduce number of structures in floodplain

9. MRWMP Implementation Progress
Worked with Glendale on acquiring 7 properties in Sunny Point Peninsula
Staff also developed policies regarding voluntary property acquisition, structural floodproofing, or structural elevation
This resulted in additional changes to MRWMP, primarily around properties that Glendale is interested in acquiring
ICA with Glendale: next Commission document

10. Floodproofing Policy
Staff will update Commission on floodproofing/property acquisition policies at future Commission meeting

11. Recommended MRWMP Revisions
Opened voluntary floodproofing or acquisition beyond the original 13 properties in Glendale
Acquisition or floodproofing would be in voluntary cooperation with each municipality and property owner, and contingent on budget approval

13. MRWMP Table updated to show 7 structures removed
Staff will request of the Commission an update to MRWMP after FEMA regulatory floodplain is updated
