RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT; AUTHORIZING STAFF TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT
WITH CMG DRAINAGE ENGINEERING FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING A
DETAILED FLOODPLAIN STUDY OF AREAS OF THE TOWN AFFECTED BY THE
PROPOSED FEMA REMAPPING; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS on September 17, 2007, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
("FEMA") issued draft "Pima County Levee Failure Analysis" floodplain maps, significantly
increasing the Zone A floodplain in portions of Marana; and
WHEREAS the revised maps disregard the flooding effects of any levee-like man-made
feature which does not meet the technical requirements of a levee; and
WHEREAS the Town believes that more detailed floodplain analysis of the affected areas
using the best available science will show significantly lower flood hazards and smaller
floodplains than is shown on the September 17, 2007 draft FEMA maps; and
WHEREAS the Town staff has reviewed statements of qualifications from qualified firms
to provide such a detailed analysis; and
WHEREAS the Town staff has selected CMG Drainage Engineering to provide the
detailed analysis; and
WHEREAS the Council finds that adoption of this resolution is in the best interest of the
Town and its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, as follows:
SECTION 1. The Town Manager and staff are hereby authorized to enter into a contract
with CMG Drainage Engineering for the amount not to exceed $500,000.

immediately effective, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this resolution shall be
effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
