The Museum Flood Coalition submitted a citizen's petition that was considered by City Council during the October 5, 2021 meeting. The petitioners requested answers to the 37 questions attached to the petition, a meeting with City and County representatives to discuss mitigation that has been done on the museum fire burn scar and watershed, resulting outcomes of mitigation, and what the short, mid, and long term plans are to address flooding. A copy of the petition has been attached to this staff summary. 

City staff will review what has been completed, provide updates on mitigation efforts, and discuss potential communication options with City Council. 

The 37 questions attached to the petition have been answered in the Flood Control District and/or City of Flagstaff FAQs (frequently asked questions) documents and the link to these documents have been provided in the presentation.  

There was a joint meeting with City and County representatives on August 23, 2021 to discuss the emergency response, previous mitigation efforts, and future mitigation strategies.  This presentation has been attached for the convenience of City Council and residents who may be interested in revisiting this information.

During this presentation on November 23, 2021, City staff will provide more recent updates on mitigation efforts.  Staff will also discuss how City Council would like to continue to provide updated information to residents and effectively engage in two-way communication.
