* Karen McDonald/National Flood Insurance Program.
Mrs. McDonald questioned why the Town does not participate in the
National Flood Insurance Program. She explained her property was
partially damaged from the Beaver Dam break back in July of 2003 and has
since done a great deal of remodeling and that she tried to get flood
insurance through her homeowners insurance company and was told because
the Town of Morgan did not participate in the NFIP she could not get the
insurance.
Minutes of the April 23rd 2012 meeting were given to her and a brief
discussion followed explaining the position taken by the Town in 2012.
This decision was arrived at with information from Zoning officer, Steve
Matson and Planning Committee. The financial impact to the Town being
significant did not make sense to participate in the program.
