Box 3729 Sanford, NC 27331 Re: National Flood Insurance Program Community Assistance Visit (CAV) for the City of Sanford on September 14, 2010 Dear Mayor Olive: This letter is a follow -up to the Community Assistance Visit (CAV) conducted at the City of Sanford • Planning and Development Department office on September 14, 2010, by Mr. Stephen Garrett, of the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management (NCEM). In attendance were Mr. Marshall Downey, AICP, Assistant Planning Director, Sanford /Lee County; Ms. Amy J. McNeill, Planner Il, Sanford/Lee County; Ms. Nancy Veroni, Emergency Management Coordinator, Lee County; Mr. Roger Millikin, Emergency Services Support, Lee County; and Mr. Steve Powers, Area 8 Coordinator, North Carolina Division of Emergency Management. Mr. Downey and Ms. McNeill were very helpful throughout the CAV process in answering questions, researching information, obtaining copies of required National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) records, and in making themselves available to assist during the field work conducted immediately following this visit. We also appreciate participation in CAV meeting by Ms. Veroni and Mr. Millikin, and their interest in floodplain management within Lee County communities. In order to participate in the NFIP, your community has been required to establish, administer, and enforce a floodplain management program that meets or exceeds the minimum standards established by the NFIP as set forth in Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 60.3. Though participation in the NFIP is voluntary for communities meeting NFIP standards, that participation allows local citizens to obtain affordable flood insurance through the NFIP as well as receive most other state and federal disaster assistance. The primary objective of the NFIP and those communities that participate in the program is to reduce the loss of lives and property damage caused by floods.
