(A) Assures the Federal Emergency Management Agency that it will enact as necessary, and maintain in force, in those areas having flood hazards, adequate land use and control measures with effective enforcement provisions consistent with the criteria set forth in § 60 of the National Flood Insurance Program Regulations, being 44 C.F.R. subpart A, 44 C.F.R. §§ 60.1 et seq.; and
(B) Vests the city with the responsibility, authority, and means to:
(1) Assist the Administrator, at his, her, or their request, in the delineation of the limits of the area having special flood hazards;
(2) Provide such information concerning present uses and occupancy of the floodplain, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion areas as the Administrator may request;
(3) Maintain for public inspection and 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 (FHBM) or Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), any certificates of floodproofing, and information on the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the level of the lowest flood (including basement) of all new construction or substantially improved structures, and include whether or not such structures contain a basement, and if the structure has been floodproofed, the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) to which the structure was floodproofed;
(4) 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;
(5) 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. In order that all FHBM’s and FIRM’s accurately represent the community’s boundaries, include within such notification a copy of the 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; and
(6) Submit an annual report to the Administrator concerning the community’s participation in the program, including, but not limited to the development and implementation of floodplain management measures.
(C) Appoints the city with the responsibility, authority, and means to implement the commitments as outlined in this subchapter; and
(D) Agrees to take such other official action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the objectives of the adopted floodplain management measures.
