KLAS Assistants Corporation Counzel TERRY F.SULLIVAN Investigator March 12, 1971 Commissioner William E. Carlson Department of Public Works City of Saint Paul Building Re: Resolution for City Council to Qualify for Federal Flood Insurance Program Dear Commissioner Carlson: In response to your letter of March 5, 1971, pertain- ing to the proposed resolution referred to above, you ask whether the City of Saint Paul may state that it will enact by December 31, 1971, adequa.te land use and control measures consistent with the National Flood Insurance Regulations . As you, no doubt, are aware the State of Minnesota has adopted a statute requiring cities to adopt flood plain ordinances and regulations. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is in the process of obtaining the necessary information to make it possible for the City of Saint Paul to enact such a flood management regula- tion. It is, in my opinion, conceivable tha.t the City Council will ha.ve sufficient data available to it to enact such a Flood Plain Mana.gement Ordinance, depending, of course, upon the ability of the State Department to supply the necessary information. I, therefore, am of the opinion that it would be feasible for the City Council to make the statement contained in the proposed resolution, tha.t it will take legislative action necessary to enact by December 31, 1 , i • Comm. William E. Carlson 2. Ma.rch 12, 1971 1971, such flood plain mana.gement regulations . Mr. Richard Schnarr, Chief Engineer, Department of Public Works, has been designa.ted by the City Council as the chairma.n of the Flood Plain Ma.nagement Com- mittee, and the committee has been and is actively pursuing the task of preparing such a flood plain management regulation for Council consideration. This resolution should be brought to the attention of Mr. Schnarr and his committee. I return to you the resolution, approved as to form, and recommend tha.t the City Council adopt the same.
