Welcome everyone. I'd like to call order the September 4th, 2025, the Sylvia Standards Manual Public Review Committee meeting. No members are permitted or participating remotely. And committee members disclose they are members of one or more affected groups, and their respective declarations of interest are kept on file in the minutes of the facility standards manual public review committee. Everybody would have public comments, I think. Correct. All right. Yes. So the first thing I'm backing. So it's working. So this text was requested to be added under this bullet that talks about changes to the existing grade, removal of executive material and the declaration of no infection floodplain be reinstated by adding it as permitted examples, but not limited to in the no rise, no impact certification. That's the suggested addition there. Staff noted that FEMA is not capturing minor boundary changes that cannot be caught on the firm. Do the scale and line thickness. Oh uh blood insurance type. Thank you. I'd rather write it out because I don't think I use it anywhere else. Um, instead of saying the five feet specific, just generalized that. Um, and obviously staff can jump in too. Making it wrong, please let me know. Uh the next comment was here under the committee member inquired. It goes on to say noting that driveway and private culvert crossings are addressed as a type one floodplain alteration, but not a floodplain study. The benefit of using HECRAS with a type one floodplain alteration. That here that's changed. Um a committee member inquired if a type one floodplain alteration will be required. The items previously submitted through the declaration narrative and FSN 5441, we're no longer going to be permitted under the new no rise or impact certification. I might be going to be used for that. Um type one would be required. Items previously declaration. We're no longer okay. I got it, sorry. I don't reach twice. I got it. And that's it. So if everybody's agreeing for those changes, or if you have any other changes, we would need a motion to approve the minutes as an amendment. Motion to go. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. Aye. Opposed. Minutes are approved. Okay, we're gonna start off the meeting today with the continuing our conversation about chapter eight flood plan amendments. Um try to stop cleanly at four o'clock so that we have adequate time to address the the 10-year private road reserve fund topic. So two things. One, I'm gonna introduce Gwen in just a minute. She's gonna give me an update. Um, but one, I wanted to let you all know, and I mentioned it in the email, but you didn't see it. Um we are pausing our review of the chapter five clubs and then there were some questions that were raised at the July meeting, and staff is still following up, doing a research on those items. So we uh I'd like you to move forward into chapter eight and go ahead and do that review, and when we're done with the chapter eight review, we're we're planning to circle back to the chapter five discussion.
