1. Authorize the Chairman to execute the prepared letters of support consistent with Lake
The Lake County Water Authority is reviewing its Community Rating System (CRS) program, which helps reduce flood insurance costs for residents. The program's management company is currently inactive, putting Lake County's planned improvement to a CRS Class 6 status on hold. This status would increase flood insurance savings from 15% to 20%. Staff are requesting authorization for the Chairman to sign letters of support to federal representatives and FEMA to resume funding for the CRS program. This item is currently under review. If funding is restored, it could lead to future work related to floodplain management and potentially infrastructure improvements tied to flood mitigation efforts. Businesses involved in environmental consulting, grant writing, and potentially construction related to flood control could find opportunities. Early engagement with the Water Authority could provide insight into future needs as the CRS program is re-established.

1. Authorize the Executive Director to communicate with willing sellers of the Hurley,
The Lake County Water Authority is exploring the potential acquisition of three properties: the Hurley Property, approximately 500 acres; the Thrill Hill Parcel, approximately 35 acres; and the Blandford Property, with acreage to be determined. The Executive Director has been authorized to contact willing sellers of these properties to request pricing proposals or draft sales agreement terms. This initial step includes performing limited due diligence before presenting findings and funding considerations to the Board. This process is currently in the planning and review stage. If acquisitions proceed, this could involve site assessments, environmental studies, legal services for transactions, and potentially future land management or development planning. Contractors specializing in land surveying, environmental consulting, legal services, and potentially heavy equipment for site preparation could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the project's scope before formal bids and permits are established.

1. For Board Approval.
The Lake County Water Authority is developing a formal stormwater and floodplain management program. This initiative aims to improve existing stormwater systems by mapping the entire network, establishing service level criteria, and prioritizing action areas. The program will involve short and long-term improvement plans, scheduled maintenance, and uniform guidance for development. Key phases include identifying existing infrastructure, exploring funding sources, and acting on identified needs. This project will involve site assessments, potential retrofitting of channels, vegetation management, and the creation of a stormwater master plan. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site prep, grading, civil engineering, and construction trades can find opportunities as this program moves forward. Early engagement is advised as plans and funding are being established.
