The town clerk read the notice of public hearing as advertised in the Ithaca Journal. Supervisor Miller introduced Mr. Alan Roland, assistant sanitary engineer from the Department of Environmental Conservation. Mr. Roland explained if the town did not pass the Local Law, which is required to maintain elegibility in the Flood Insurance Program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will withdraw the community from the program. One of the stipulations of the Flood Insurance Program is any Federal lending institution requires the applicant to have flood insurance on the property. If the community has not adopted the Flood Law, the transfer of property within a flood plan area can be hampered by the fact no federall, backed loan can be granted. He also pointed out if there is a federal flood disaster declared in a community and it does not participate in the flood insurance program, then the community can- not receive any federal funds for relief under the disaster act. Mr. Roland pointed out Danby is considered a minor flood prone area. Donald Graham said he feels the town would be better off managing the flood insurance program than to allow the state to take it over. Mr. Roland explained the flood insurance rate is based on new construction and improvements in present structures that are changed 50% or better, after adoption of the Flood Law. Mr. Leonard felt the town has nothing to lose by adopting the Local Law. With no further comments the hearing was closed at 8:10 PM.
