that request. In February 2010, FEMA published notice of appeals period to make
citizens aware that maps were being updated. On February 9, 2010 staff explained
appeals process to Council and public. Maps were available for review online and at
city hall. The folks in Grandview and 7th Parkway were notified of changes and the
public was made aware and given the opportunity to participate in the process. FEMA
