Widespread distribution is the next step, with the full text being made available to other municipalities under the plan’s sphere of influence, the public and the scheduling of a public hearing on the topic within council chambers.
From there, the municipalities will have to approve the draft plan before it comes back to the commissioners for approval. After all that, the plan goes back to FEMA for its approval. FEMA endorsed the preliminary draft of the plan unaffected by recent changes in March.
