Special presentation that updates the progress and plans of the Carson City Storm Water Management Program. (Andrew Burnham/Robert Fellows)

Staff Summary: In early January 1997, Carson City was impacted by a rare flood event generated from an unusual and prolonged winter-time storm. This event caused wide-spread and costly flood damages throughout the city. Since that time, the city - via the Public Works Department - has taken steps to reduce the recurrence of such flooding and to minimize future damages to public and private properties alike. One crucial step in this process was the formation of the Carson City Storm Water Management Program and the City's Storm Water Utility. This presentation provides a timeline of the activities and events that have shaped the Storm Water Management Program and Utility from the 1997 flood to the present. Presentation highlights include: 1) an overview of the program and its integration with FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program; 2) the review of recent floodplain studies and flood hazard map revisions within the city; 3) the current and future plans for stormwater capital improvements within the program; and 4) an introduction of future plans for and needs of the Storm Water Management Program.
