<br />that these populations are provided access to CDBG- DR funds from this allocation.
<br />D. Coordination with Local and Regional Stakeholders
<br />The City has worked with the local community and various stakeholders to assess the community's
<br />unmet needs. Specifically, the City established a Task Force that included members from the local and
<br />regional area to gain input on the affect the disasters had on their respective areas.
<br />Moving forward, the City will continue to involve local and regional stakeholders including (but not
<br />limited to) county officials, emergency response staff, public housing officials, local neighborhood
<br />organizations, businesses, and housing advocacy groups as they develop program plans that will assist
<br />the community in their recovery.

<br />A. General Construction Standards
<br />Construction methods will be in compliance with Program Construction Specifications and will
<br />emphasize high quality, energy efficiency, sustainability, and mold resistance. All rehabilitation,
<br />reconstruction and new construction will be designed to incorporate principles of sustainability,
<br />including water and energy efficiency, resilience and mitigation against the impact of future disasters.
<br />Houses rehabilitated or reconstructed in the City Housing Programs will be designed and built in
<br />accordance with applicable code requirements and inspected for quality and compliance by Program
<br />Inspectors.
<br />Since the flooding, the City has enacted three separate ordinances in order to protect citizens from
<br />future loss:
<br />• Owners or managers of rental properties identified by damage assessment teams to have been
<br />flooded in any declared emergency or declared disaster related to any flood event must disinfect or
<br />cause disinfection of all interior surfaces used for habitation. Disinfection must be performed before
<br />re- occupancy is allowed inside the habitation or residence following a flood event.
<br />• Property owners with rental units located in a special flood hazard area are required to provide
<br />notice to their tenants regarding the potential for flooding.
<br />• Structures and uses of structures which lawfully exist prior to the effective date of this ordinance
<br />and which do not conform to this article may be continued subject to the following conditions:
<br />- In floodway - Existing structures and uses within a floodway shall not be expanded or enlarged
<br />unless the effect of proposed expansion or enlargement does not cause an additional increase in
<br />floodway elevation during the occurrence of the base flood discharge, as certified by a
<br />registered professional engineer.
<br />- Modifications to existing structure - Any repair, reconstruction or improvement of an existing
<br />structure within a floodplain which constitutes substantial improvement shall be undertaken
<br />only in full compliance with this article, and the owner shall be required to obtain a floodplain
<br />permit before repair, reconstruction or improvement shall begin.
