The rollout from FEMA is on an abbreviated timeline. Originally the message was that cities needed to select one of three options by December 1, 2024: (1) Adopt a model ordinance, (2) prohibit all development in the wetland, or (3) adopt a policy that implements the new regulations and apply it on a permit by permit basis. Since that time, FEMA has walked back the enforcement timeline. They will accept notice of the city’s intent to select one of the options. In addition, FEMA has stated that it intends to change its model ordinance so much of the urgency in getting an ordinance adopted has lessened. At this time notice to DLCD is all that is required. Because this ordinance effect land use, the council will hold a legislative amendment hearing. The procedural posture will be to open the hearing, receive staff report and any public comment, and then leave open the hearing and continue to a later date to when FEMA provides the city with its model ordinance amendments.

The Lincoln County Water Systems Alliance (LCWSA or Alliance) is being created in order to establish a 50-year county-wide water supply and distribution system plan that incorporates local and regional integrated plans to provide long-term water security for the entire county and significant protections for the environment. Its success will require the participation of Lincoln County cities, water districts, the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz, the County of Lincoln County, and the support and involvement of conservation and water organizations. By signing this resolution, Lincoln City is committing to the goals of the alliance and committing some as yet undefined amount of staff time to the LCWSA.

There have been ongoing communications between the fire district and the city regarding the costs associated with fire district operations and the effect of stagnant tax revenue that the URA has or will have in the future on fire district funding. At present, the city charges the district $30,417 payable in two annual installments to provide 911 dispatch services for the district. City staff think that the payments can be assumed in the city budget and that it is reasonable to provide dispatch services to the district free of charge. The city and the district may revisit this agreement in the future. If council agrees to discontinue charging the district for dispatch services, then the reason for the IGA no longer exist. Therefore, the IGA should be terminated. 

This item is regarding an increase in labor and equipment costs for Phase 2B of the Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System, which provides real time information about individual water usage and eliminates the need for a water meter reader to visit each meter on site.
