The floodplain rule changes update Kent’s local requirements and assign floodplain administration to the community development director, supported by a licensed senior engineer. This helps the city manage flood-related permits and meet requirements tied to federal flood insurance eligibility. Other approved actions direct community development funds toward projects including a $157,000 Elm Street reconstruction and a $43,000 furnace inspection and replacement program, while the energy grant will be held in escrow for future efficiency projects.
