Thank you, colleagues. Council Bill 120 253. As the clerk mentioned, relates to flood plains. This is the second extension of interim regulations which will last for six months. By way of background, in July of 2020. We adopted interim floodplain regulations that reflect FEMA's updated flood insurance rate maps for King County. These updated regulations are necessary to remain and compliant for us to remain in compliance with FEMA policies and with the National Flood Insurance Program. Last year, we did extend these interim regulations for an additional year to allow STSCI to create permanent regulations. Those permanent regulations have now been drafted but are currently being challenged with the appeal from the Court of Seattle. And we are working to address those concerns and mediate that that appeal. This letter, which is going through the hearing examiner and there's a formal process for this to be resolved. This legislation will extend the interim regulations for an additional six months to allow us to remain in compliance with the national flood insurance programs. While the court's appeal is being resolved again through the hearing examiner. It also provides one technical correction to a drafting error in the previous interim regulations.
