Wildland-Urban Interface code and Community Wildfire Protection Plan
APS is hardening the grid and may shut off power at specific locations during extreme fire weather to prevent wildfires. Re-energization is staged to avoid power surges.
Floodplain Management Code Update
The council advanced state-recommended updates to the floodplain code that keep the town's flood maps and regulations consistent with state and federal standards, protecting homeowners' flood insurance eligibility.
