Updated Crow Creek floodplain maps adopted

Summary

The council adopted the 2024 Crow Creek, Swan Creek and Travis Park drainage plan and new regulatory floodplain maps. One Lewiston Gardens resident objected, saying higher-value homes at lower elevations were removed while lower-value homes were added, and asked for time to obtain his property's flood elevation data before the maps take effect.
