No written communications were received. Mr. Dave McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated, "in August, 1986, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made changes to the National Flood Plain Insurance Management criteria. The changes are mandatory, as a condition of continued eligibility for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Failure to adopt the changes will result in suspension from the program and inability to obtain flood insurance. The proposed flood plain management regulations comply with the latest FEMA requirements to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program. Although the City does not have significant areas subject to flood hazards presently, we will have as the City grows. This, in turn, will make the existence of the flood plain regulation more important." as being in flood plain area The three areas identified4were north of Pasco Airport, Walter's Field and Boat Basin Area.
