(A) Before the town boundary with Prince William or Fairfax County changes, the Town Council shall pass a resolution acknowledging and accepting responsibility for enforcing floodplain ordinance standards. If the FIRM for any added area includes special flood hazard areas that have flood zones that have regulatory requirements that are not set forth in these regulations, the Floodplain Administrator shall prepare amendments to this chapter to adopt the FIRM and appropriate requirements, and submit the amendments to the governing body for adoption; such adoption shall take place at the same time as or prior to the date of boundary change and a copy of the amended regulations shall be provided to Department of Conservation and Recreation (Division of Dam Safety and Floodplain Management) and FEMA.
(B) In accordance with 44 C.F.R. § 59.22(a)(9)(v), the town will notify the Federal Insurance Administration and optionally the State Coordinating Office in writing whenever the boundaries of the town have been modified or the town has otherwise assumed or no longer has authority to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations for a particular area.
(C) In order that all flood insurance rate maps accurately represent the town’s boundaries, a copy of a map of the town suitable for reproduction, clearly delineating the new corporate limits or new area for which the town has assumed or relinquished floodplain management regulatory authority shall be included with the notification.
