PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to gain Commission authority to Adopt the Seminole County Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy Plan, dated October 31 st, 1999 by the City Commission. CONSIDERATIONS: On November 9th, 1998, the City of Winter Springs-formally entered into an interlocal agreement with Seminole County to develop a single county-wide hazard mitigation strategy. This joint effort was funded through a grant from the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs. The goal was for each local government to identify and prioritize hazard areas, identify susceptible structures; hazard training needs, and develop programs that would reduce our community's vulnerability to disasters. A Seminole County "Working Group" was formed to develop this single strategic plan with.the assistance of a mitigation consultant. Department representatives from Utilities/Public Works, Community Development, Finance and Fire participated in this planning process. Over an 18-month collaborative effort between local government, private industry, non- profit and interfaith agencies, the working group produced a plan that identifies 255 individual initiatives throughout Seminole County, with 8 being specific to the City of Winter Springs. September 25,2000 eonsent Agenda Item "D" Page 2 FUNDING: No additional funding is requested. Under a proposed State rule, formal adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy by the local government (Board of County Commissioners and City Commission) will be required to maintain eligibility for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding.

CHOICE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIVISION September 6, 2000 Mr. Ron McLemore, City Manager City of Winter Springs 1126 E. State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 Re: Adoption of Local Mitigation Strategy Dear Mr. McLemore: In October 1999 with the participation of all the municipalities and the services of a consultant fIrm, Seminole County completed its fIrst Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) document. In February 2000 the State approved the document and it was adopted by the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners on May 9,2000. To date, only one city has adopted the Local Mitigation Strategy. At this time we are requesting that each municipality adopt the LMS. Adoption of the LMS is a requirement to be eligible for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds. Therefore, we would recommend that you take the LMS to.your Board for adoption and when complete, forward us a copy. I have attached a copy of the letter from the Department of Community Affairs asking that all our municipalities have the plan adopted. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Joe McCluan, Acting Emergency Management Manger at (407) 665-5131. Sincerely, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY ~ Kenneth M.
