RESOLUTION #1997-7, Declaration of flood emergency Glenn Ellingsberg, Emergency Manager, prepared a draft emergency declaration for the board to consider due to the potential for flooding from the record amount of snowfall this season. The declaration will allow the county to obtain flood assistance as needed, including help from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Ellingsberg said pamphlets are being made available for people living in a flood area which include information on what they can do to protect their property, as well as a flood information resource guide from the American Red Cross. He has received inquiries from some communities about county assistance in the area of doing base evaluations of flood levels, cleaning hard-packed snow out of road ditches, and assisting with water run-off. In the near future, Mr. Ellingsberg said the Commission may be asked to make a decision regarding sandbags for homeowners in a flood situation. Homeowners have been responsible for the cost of the sandbags and sand themselves, in the past, since flood insurance does cover some of their costs, he said.
