DPW Updates September 2025
- You will be receiving a letter from DPW alerting you that they are pursuing a CLOMR from FEMA. (This process has been underway for close to a year already.) Sample email can be found here.
- FEMA requires DPW to send you this official notice via mail by September 21st. It mentions maps that are available downtown. We are working on getting copies of these before the letters go out and will post these online with a notfication.
- The letter is not indicative of any change in status or feasibility of the project, but merely a compliance formality required by FEMA
- DPW anticipates at least another 6 months of plan revisions before they could be granted a CLOMR
- While, at this stage, the project seems to be physically feasible, DPW has not yet found a way to make the project financially feasible, as costs have increased and several avenues for funding have proved fruitless
- DPW will not look further into funding options until the CLOMR has been granted and the town of Rocky Ripple has signed an Inter Local Agreement (ILA)
- After the CLOMR is granted (meaning construction plans can no longer be changed) a new ILA will be drafted for the Town of Rocky Ripple to review and either negotiate or refuse
- A revised cost estimate will be completed once we have CLOMR approval from FEMA.
- The plan also includes the interior drainage as you have concerns about.
- Todd Wilson, head of DPW and Randy Sanders will be meeting in the near future.
