Kittitas County Flood Control Zone District Advisory Board Questionnaire <br />4. What is your level of flood knowledge in Kittitas County? <br />I am familiar with the flooding patterns in the County's major flood <br />risk zones and have a very strong understanding of the hydrology of <br />area creeks and how the Yakima River is operated for irrigation and <br />flood prevention. <br />-I am familiar with three of FCZD's floodplain assessments and <br />directly participated in two of them as both a proponent for state <br />funding and as a member of the technical committees. <br />-I have participated in post -flood projects in the Manastash, <br />Teanaway, Naneum, and Easton areas. My roles in these projects <br />ranged from technical support to funding review to regulatory work. <br />-I have been involved in planning and in technical review for <br />combined flood and habitat projects in the Irene Rhinehart to Helen <br />McCabe Park reach of the Yakima River. <br />5. What interests you most about becoming a member of the Flood Control <br />Zone District Citizen Advisory Group? <br />It is professionally and personally important to me that the FCZD be <br />successful. The district is uniquely positioned in the county to address <br />ongoing and pernicious problems that cross multiple disciplines and <br />property lines. I have a professional interest and experience in flood <br />emergency response planning, post -flood recovery, addressing <br />multiple priorities with flood mitigation projects, and seeking <br />"betterments" and other funding increases in the wake of federally - <br />declared flood emergencies. <br />It is personally important to me that FCZD policies and spending <br />result in good stewardship of limited taxpayer funds and limit the <br />uncertainty for residents caused by flooding risk to property and <br />infrastructure. <br />Pale 2 of 5 <br />
