Item(s)
1. Floodplain Map Update: Community Engagement Plan
Staff: Sandy Belson, Interim Planning Manager
• Staff Report
Sandy Belson: (See presentation)
Comments from the Commissioners:
Commissioner Buck: suggested changing the verbiage under “Key Messages” # 6 to avoid
appearing to promote only FEMA’s flood insurance. Suggested verbiage: #6 – To protect against
damage and loss from flood, consider purchasing flood insurance through insurance programs
such as the National Flood Insurance Program.
Commissioner Koivula: suggested two additional outreach goals:
1) Explaining to the community that participation in the program is required to be able to
access disaster relief in the event of flooding.
2) Remind the community about the significant floods the city experienced in 1996 and
1997.
Commissioner Salazar: Once the Floodplain Map is approved, a link of the FEMA story map will
be posted to our website. Navigating to FEMA story maps to get to specifically Springfield
Oregon maps is complicated. In the interest of accessibility, we should post a link to FEMA’s
story map page, but also provide direct links to our own community maps as well.

Commissioner Gill: suggested that we post the Floodplain Map outside of the Springfield City
Library for the general public to see. We could also send the community a post card, which
would provide basic information about the Floodplain Map.
Staff / Sandy Belson: responded to the Commissioners comments and suggestions: She noted
that one outreach goal would be added explaining that participation in the program is required
to be able to access disaster relief. It would also be productive to mention the 1996/97 floods
but not as an independent key message since they were not considered 100-year floods. Key
Message #6 would be modified to “consider purchasing flood insurance through insurance
programs such as the National Flood Insurance Program”. Under # 1 “Tactics – Local Adoption”
we can include the link to the FEMA Floodplain Maps as well as the City of Springfield
Floodplain maps. Also, under #1 “Tactics – Local Adoption” we can find placement for an
informational poster somewhere in City Hall. Staff will reach out to SUB and ask them about
adding this topic to their Newsletter. SUB typically has a long lead time that will preclude them
from making a timely announcement. DPW can reach out to the Red Cross about the measures
they are taking. The Lane County Emergence response team is certainly involved in the
Emergency Management, but Staff will clarify.
Commissioner Buck: wanted to state for the public record that the 51 properties located in the
Floodplain zone have been identified as being in the area of risk and should be made aware of
the impact this will have on their mortgages, insurance coverage, etc. Now is the time to
investigate the ramifications before they are officially notified.
Commissioner Buck: moved that the Commission adopt the Floodplain Map Update:
Community Engagement Plan with the identified changes noted by Staff to the items listed and
discussed during this meeting. Commissioner Koivula seconded the motion.

Assistant City Attorney Kristina Kraaz read the Quasi-Judicial Statement of Rights into the
record.
The Planning Commissioners were called to disclose ex-parte contact, conflicts of interest, or
independent knowledge of the property:
Buck - No conflicts of interest or ex-parte contact. He is a licensed insurance agent in the area
but he does not believe this would impact his decision.
Koivula - No independent knowledge, conflicts of interest or ex-parte contact.
Gill – No independent knowledge, conflicts of interest, or ex-parte contact.
Salazar – No conflicts of interest or ex-parte contact. His independent knowledge is limited to
driving past the site.
Staff Report
Staff / Melissa Cariño (see presentation)
Testimony from the Applicant – None
In Favor – None
Neutral – None
In Opposition – None
Commissioner Buck: Noted that the presentation in the last meeting was very detailed and he
appreciated the effort.
Commissioner Koivula: wanted to confirm that the Applicant will make all effort to identify and reject all
inappropriate fill, i.e., oil, chemical contaminant materials, treated wood, asphalt, asbestos, wallboard,
oil or concrete road base material. He expanded the noxious weeds list from not only horsetail but also
reed canary grass, false Brome, knotweed, and yellow flag iris. On page 220 in the statement on
Condition of Approval, #3 of Finding 40: The statement that the Applicant under LDAP shall provide
armoring conflicts with page 230 where it provides for vegetation at a 3-1 slope. Submittals are
sometimes made at different times accounting for possible conflicting information. Was the bank
armoring submitted at a different time?
Applicant / Kelly Wood, Safety and Land Manager, Wildish Sand and Gravel. There was undoubtedly a
timing issue with parts of the submittal. Most of the property consists of fill with existing and historical
riprap material armoring the edge of the river. Wildish intends to use the reminder of the Greenway
setback for stormwater drainage and stormwater controls.

Draft Community Engagement Plan
Flood Map Updates
Draft - Community Engagement Plan
I. PURPOSE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN
This Community Engagement Plan will serve as a guide for outreach and community
engagement activities for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s update of the Flood
Maps and Springfield’s adoption of the new maps as the basis for Springfield’s Floodplain
Overlay District. It describes the activities that the City of Springfield will implement to ensure
that the interested and affected parties have adequate opportunities to understand the
updates and provide meaningful input.
II. INTRODUCTION
Background
Flooding is the most common and expensive natural disaster in the United States. Studies show
that the high-risk areas on flood maps have a 26% chance of being flooded at some point during
a 30-year mortgage.
The City of Springfield participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). NFIP is run
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The objectives of the NFIP are to: (1)
ensure that new buildings will be free from flood damage; (2) prevent new development from
increasing flood damages on existing properties; and (3) ensure the natural and beneficial
functions of the floodplain are maintained.
NFIP was created by the U.S. Congress in 1968 to help minimize the costs of disaster relief and
reduce the loss of life and property caused by flooding. Participation in the NFIP allows
members of the Springfield community to access federally backed flood insurance. Flood
insurance is required for federally backed loans to purchase or build structures located within
the floodplain. Participation also ensures the City remains eligible for Federal disaster
assistance in identified floodplain areas. The current floodplain map for Springfield that flood
insurance is based on was last updated in 1999.

Flood Map Updates page 2 of 4
Draft Community Engagement Plan
FEMA Map Updates
New/updated maps for Springfield are being prepared by FEMA to better understand flood
risks and allow for more informed decisions about how to protect against damage and loss.
Flood risk changes over time. Helping our community understand its risk from floods is an
important step toward reducing those risks. Flood maps show the areas with the highest risk in
our area, as well as other important information. FEMA uses the best data available to help
communities understand their risk. This data is a combination of the information Springfield
community provides and FEMA’s own scientific research and analysis. These new/updated
floodplain maps better represent flood risk in Springfield and Central Lane County. FEMA is
seeking input on these maps to ensure that they reflect local data/knowledge.
Once FEMA finalizes the floodplain maps, the City of Springfield and Lane County will co-adopt
the updated maps as the basis for the Floodplain Overlay District. Development within the
Floodplain Overlay District must conform to the requirements in Section 3.3.800 of the
Springfield Development Code.
III. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Purpose of Community Engagement
1. To assist property owners and occupants affected by changes to the Flood Maps to
understand their flood risk and how to mitigate that risk during development and by
purchasing flood insurance.
2. To provide an opportunity for people to comment on FEMA’s flood maps before they are
finalized by FEMA and co-adopted by the City of Springfield and Lane County as the basis for
an updated Floodplain Overlay District.
Outreach Goals
1. Working with FEMA, provide accurate information to community about the flood risks
within Springfield’s urban growth boundary
2. Seek feedback about the accuracy of the new/updated maps in tandem with FEMA as part
of outreach efforts
3. Increase the awareness of the availability of the flood maps and opportunities to view them
among affected property and business owners, and residents
4. Increase awareness of the importance to have flood insurance for those in identified areas
of risk within the Springfield community
5. Message that this work is occurring based on direction FEMA receives and is not policy
driven by the City
6. Explain the City’s partnership with FEMA to reduce flood risk within the identified flood
hazard areas, including the City’s responsibility for adopting floodplain management
regulations
7. Increase awareness of regulatory requirements affecting development in the flood hazard
areas

concerns.
• PAC meetings will be scheduled as needed but will attempt to follow the target
schedule reviewed at the first PAC meeting.
• Meeting agendas (with supporting materials as needed) and theThe proceedings
of the previous all meetings will be summarized by project staff and made
available to all PAC members at least one week in advance of the next scheduled
meeting. At that meeting, staff will ask the PAC to approve the meeting notes as
presented or approve the meeting notes with changes. Approved notes will then
be made available to the public.
• PAC members may revisit topics discussed at a previous meeting. Each meeting
will allow time for addressing any remaining ideas/questions.

PROTOCOLS
As members of the PAC, we agree to the following protocols for working together:
MEETING PREPARATION & PARTICIPATION
We agree to:
• Attend all meetings and/or notify the Committee fFacilitator (Jacob Callister,
Lane Council of Governments) if we haveof an unavoidable conflict that requires
us to be late or absent. If absent from a meeting, PAC members may choose to:
o Before the meeting to be missed: Provide written or verbal comments
to project staff if desired.
o After the missed meeting:
▪ If absent from a meeting, Ragree to read materials and get briefed
listen to the meeting recording to hear on the information
presented, deliberations, and outcomes of the meeting.
▪ Follow up with questions to staff. PAC members may provide
written or verbal comments to project staff on materials discussed
at the missed meeting.
• If able to attend, prepare for meetings by reading materials in advance;
• Arrive on time (whether virtually, or by phone, or in-person);
• Missing two consecutive meetings (extenuating circumstances notwithstanding)
maywill result in project staff forwarding the PAC member’s attendance record to
the Committee for Citizen Involvement for action.
MEETING CONDUCT
During meetings, we agree to:
• Listen carefully and respectfully, seeking to understand each other
• Actively participate in the discussion by contributing perspectives and asking
questions
Attachment 1, Page 2 of 4
7/26/2022 Page 3 of 4
• “Share the air” – letting others speak once before speaking again
• Focus on the subject at hand and help the group stick to the agenda
When referring to the past, link it productively to current discussion
• Put cell phones on silent mode, avoid side conversations, and be courteous and
judicious with the use of other electronic devices
PROVIDING COMMITTEE INPUT TO PROJECT TEAM
• We will strive to make any make group-based input by consensus by listening to
others’ perspectives, understanding that our input is strengthened by high levels
of agreement. Consensus is achieved when all members can accept and will
support the input. However, we understand that Committee-wide (i.e.,
unanimous) consensus is not required to move forward with meetings or
products of the project.
• We will provide input to staff on specific questions and on the draft map, but we
are not expected to vote and will not provide a formal recommendation to
Springfield’s appointed and elected officials.If it is clear consensus cannot be
reached, then a simple majority of the members present will be required for any
formal input to be represented as a PAC recommendation to the Project Core
Team. If this level of agreement cannot be reached, then there will be no
recommendation from the Committee. The final list of any recommendations or
other input may include some discussion of the opinions of PAC members that
were not in the majority.
• A majority of members – 5 of 8 – attending will constitute a quorum at that
meeting.
• Although we will not use alternates or proxies, we will consider written
comments from our fellow PAC members when they are unable to attend.
• Input to the Project Core Team will be respected as final to avoid backtracking,
unless the committee PAC as a whole agrees there is sufficient new information
to reconsider a previous input.
EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS
Outside of PAC meetings, members agree to:
• Support the group process in communications with others and with each other
• Speak about their own experience in the group as individuals, but not to speak
for the group. Inquiries requiring a collective response from the PAC should be
