Based on the program's criteria, our city was able to obtain a classification of 8 <br />which allows our residents to enjoy a 10% discount in their Flood Insurance Policy. <br /> <br />Every year, the City undergoes a recertification process where it is demonstrated that the <br />City continues to pursue those meaningful activities to protect the citizens from losses <br />caused by flooding. <br /> <br />This year, the City is attempting a lower reclassification to be able to offer our Sunny <br />Isles Beach citizens a greater discount in their Flood Insurance Policies. Among others, <br />some of the new activities staff is pursuing to obtain more credit points are the adoption <br />of the Miami Dade County's LMS, Surveying Benchmark Maintenance, GIS Mapping, <br />recordkeeping of Elevation Certificates, etc. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resolution <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Miami Dade County Local Mitigation Strategy <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview.aspx?ItemID=685&MeetingID=0&MeetingDate. .. 1/10/2012 <br />
