5. Zoning Enforcement.
Ms. Brown distributed the Zoning Enforcement Report. Ms. Brown stated she was approached by a contractor name Jimmy Chin, a contract worker for FEMA, and FEMA would like all towns that have flood zones to join the community ratings system. She noted that this is a system by which the activities and the procedures in the town are assessed. Ms. Brown stated that if the Town gets enough credits for the activities they are doing to reduce FEMA flood losses, everyone who has flood insurance in Old Lyme gets a little reduction in their policy costs. She noted that there is some staff time involved in this. Ms. Brown noted that it does not cost the Town anything other than the staff time involved.
