Hearing on flood plain delay noted in Garden City case
City and county officials said a flood plain hearing would serve their interests but could not forecast a ruling timeline. FEMA seeks to dismiss the citys suit over proposed maps that would include 1,800 properties and 80 businesses in a revised flood plain. Plaintiffs urge resolving map and study technicalities before court consideration. In other business, Garden City approved 1.1 million in IRBs for YMCA expansion funds, with Clayton Holdings as bond investor and completion anticipated by spring for a new pool and fitness facilities.
