(A) The county assures the Federal Insurance Administration that it will enact as necessary, and maintain in force in those areas having flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion hazards, adequate land use, and control measures with effective enforcement provisions consistent with the criteria set forth in § 1910 of the National Flood Insurance Program regulations.
(B) The county vests the Judge/Executive with the responsibility, authority, and means to:
(1) Assist the Administrator, at his or her or her request, in his or her delineation of the limits of the area having special flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion hazards;
(2) Provide such information as the Administrator may request concerning present uses and occupancy of the floodplain, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion areas;
(3) Cooperate with federal, state, and local agencies and private firms which undertake to study, survey, map, and identify floodplain, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion areas, and cooperate with neighboring communities with respect to management of adjoining floodplain, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), and/or flood-related erosion areas in order to prevent aggravation of existing hazards;
(4) Submit on the anniversary date of the community’s initial eligibility an annual report to the Administrator on the progress made during the past year within the community in the development and implementation of floodplain management measures; and
(5) (a) Upon occurrence, notify the Administrator in writing whenever the boundaries of the community have been modified by annexation or the community has otherwise assumed or no longer has authority to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations for a particular area.
(b) In order that all flood hazard boundary maps and flood insurance rate maps accurately represent the community’s boundaries, include within such notification a copy of a map of the community suitable for reproduction, clearly delineating the new corporate limits or new area for which the community has assumed or relinquished floodplain management regulatory authority.
(C) The county appoints the County Building Inspector to maintain for public inspection and to furnish upon request, for the determination of applicable flood insurance risk premium rates within all areas having special flood hazards identified on a flood hazard boundary map or flood insurance rate map, any certificates of flood-proofing, and information on the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the level of the lowest habitable floor (including basement if habitable) of all new or substantially improved structures, and he or she shall include whether or not such structures contain a basement, if the structure has been flood-proofed, and the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which the structure was flood-proofed.
