SB711,1,3 1An Act to create 281.665 (5) (c) 5. of the statutes; relating to: priorities and
2criteria for the municipal flood control and riparian restoration program and
3amending administrative rules.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
The Department of Natural Resources, under its current rules, provides a list
of activities that are eligible for municipal flood control grants. These activities are
listed in priority order. When DNR receives an application for a municipal flood
control grant, it must score the application based on that priority order.
This bill provides that any of the activities listed in DNR's rules are eligible for
municipal flood control grants, and clarifies that the listed activities are not in
priority order. The bill also requires DNR, when scoring applications for municipal
flood control grants, to consider the cost-effectiveness of the proposed activity. In
addition, if an application proposes to acquire and remove structures, the bill
requires DNR, when scoring the application, to consider the loss of tax base to be an
adverse impact.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
