approved. <br />COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM AUDIT UPDATE <br />Mark Cook gave background on the Community Rating System (CRS) for the <br />reduction of flood insurance rates to residents of Kittitas County. <br />Mark Cook stated that the current rating for Kittitas County is at a <br />six (6) giving a twenty percent (20%) reduction in flood insurance <br />rates. Mark Cook continued that staff recently had its first audit <br />for the program and the results are troublesome. Mark Cook added that <br />the main issue is the way elevation certificates by surveyors are <br />being completed and the lack of a complete review by staff. Mark Cook <br />further explained that staff has three opportunities to submit the <br />required documentation to maintain the current rating status, however, <br />with two submittals being done already the county is only at a fifty <br />percent (50%) compliance rate for accuracy and ninety percent (90%) is <br />required. Mark Cook added that several staff members are working on <br />getting documentation completed for the final submittal. Mark Cook <br />concluded that it is a realistic expectation the CRS Rating will drop <br />but can't predict how much. Discussion was held. Mark Cook stated <br />that he will follow up with an update once the audit is finalized. <br />Meeting adjourned at 2:08 pm. <br />2019-06-24 MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Cory Wright, Chairman <br />
