VOTE: Commissioner Bushnell: Vice Mayor Glasser Commissioner Gomez Commissioner Placko Mayor Dressler r TR#12811 Exhibit #1 City of Tamarac, Florida Program for Public Information (PPI) The City of Tamarac has developed a comprehensive outreach program over the years to educate the community concerning matters pertaining to floodplain management and to highlight the importance of flood mitigation to the community. This outreach has included active participation with other communities within Broward County and input from volunteers and community stakeholders. With the implementation of the 2013 CRS Coordinators Manual, the City of Tamarac determined the importance of developing its own Program for Public Information. Since 1992, the City of Tamarac has been a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and qualified for the Community Rating System (CRS) Program which provides reductions to flood insurance premiums for residents and businesses within participating communities. The reductions are based on community floodplain management programs, including public information activities. To keep those discounts, communities must continue to implement their programs and provide status reports to the NFIP each year. Since entrance into the CRS Program, the City of Tamarac has prioritized the dissemination of flood -related information to its residents and businesses. Over the years, the City has expanded this outreach to include, among other items, a community brochure mailed biannual to all properties in the community, and numerous outreach items using electronic media. The City also provides flood information at Homeowners Association meetings through the year, during our annual hurricane awareness expo, and various articles related to flood protection written in the City's Quarterly newsletter that is delivered to every household in the City. The City of Tamarac has emphasized not only the life and property components of flood plain management but also the natural and beneficial functions of floodplains and maintenance of open space. Furthermore, it continues active compliance with the storm water maintenance program and implementation of the City's Municipal Separate Storm Water System -National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System (MS4-NPDES) Permit. The MS4 program is part of the US Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to reduce pollution caused by untreated stormwater runoff. The City is pleased that its efforts to disseminate flood hazard information are not only beneficial to the Tamarac community through mitigation of the hazardous effects of flooding, but are also beneficial in maximizing credit in the CRS program by conforming to the PPI standard outlined in the 2013 CRS Coordinator's Manual.

Following a brief introduction to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in general and the Program for Public Information in particular, the Committee began by assessing the community's public information needs. Some of the topics of discussion were: • Review of existing outreach projects to date. • Identify different target areas that would require additional outreach based on flooding or new development conditions. • Discuss and propose future outreach programs for targeted areas in the City. The second meeting was held on May 18, 2015. Once again the purpose of the PPI Committee was reviewed with the members. Outcome of the previous meeting proposals were discussed and new ideas were identified for future consideration. Some of these ideas were: • Contacting the HOA Presidents and Secretaries to provide increased knowledge of floodplain protection and related topics. • TV ticker for the City detailing all aspects of the floodplain. • Compile a list of all the Realtors that serve Tamarac. • Compile a list of Insurance Agents that serve Tamarac. Information handouts were distributed to the committee for review and comments before the next meeting. The committee came up with ideas for public outreach in concert with the City programs including how they inform their respective customers on flood related outreach. The third and final meeting of 2015 was held on September 16, 2015. The purpose of the PPI was reviewed with the members of the committee. PPI Action Plan was reviewed and items discussed were: • Historical flood data. Reviewed areas within the City that are particularly flood prone. o Residents and businesses within the floodplain. There are a total of 4,149 buildings in the City currently located within the floodplain. o Residents within the repetitive loss areas. Currently the City has 4 repetitive loss properties. Review and approve the proposed list of outreach projects for immediate implementation. The next meeting was scheduled for the summer of 2016. Program for Public Information Page 3 TR#12811 Exhibit #1 Target Areas: Target audience #1: Residents and businesses within the floodplain. • The targeting of the residents and businesses that are located within the floodplain was determined to be appropriate. There are a total of 4,149 buildings in the City currently located within the floodplain. See OP 1 and 3 in page 9 of this document on Chart named Step 3, Current Outreach Projects. Target audience #2: Residents within the Repetitive Loss Areas. Areas that have been subject to repetitive losses from flooding, as defined by the NFIP, need to be specially targeted for public information. A special outreach project, entailing an advisement to the property owners in these areas providing the information specified in the 2013 CRS Coordinator's Manual. See OP 2 in page 9 of this document on Chart named Step 3, Current Outreach Projects. Copies of Letters and Documentation sent to RL areas and map of RL areas has been provided to the CRS/ISO Specialist during the site visit on June 22, 2016.

The area is located at the Southwestern area of the City, bordered by Rock Island Rd. to the East, 64th Street to the West, Commercial Blvd. to the North and 44th Street to the South.
