A. Floods from storm water runoff may occasionally occur which exceed the capacity of storm drainage facilities constructed and maintained by funds made available under this chapter. The city’s adoption of this code does not imply that property liable for the storm and surface water drainage charge shall always be free from storm water flooding or flood drainage. Further, this code does not purport to reduce the need or the necessity for any property owner to obtain flood insurance.

B. This chapter shall be administered and enforced for the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of the general public, and not for the benefit of any particular person or class of persons.

C. No provision of or any term used in this chapter is intended to impose any duty upon the city or any of its officers or employees which would subject them to damages in a civil action. (Ord. 2023 § 1 (Exh. A), 2009; Ord. 1634 § 1, 1996).
