As reported in the News-Journal Online, Ormond Beach has hired an ombudsman to help residents who have experienced problems from the heavy rains and flooding.
"The Ormond Beach City Commission, during a special meeting Tuesday night, approved hiring attorney Charles Cino to serve as an ombudsman to help residents with legal questions relating to the flooding.
Cino would help residents with things such as paperwork, answering legal questions and advising them where to go for help. Cino would not represent them in any legal actions. The City Commission approved paying him up to $25,000 for his work. They also approved paying an environmental consultant, who has not been named yet, up to $25,000 to help residents with issues such as mold.
The city will also give residents who have been displaced from their homes by the flooding a tax abatement.
In the future, Ormond Beach will also allow residents to pick up more than 10 sandbags per trip as long as they sign a waiver. During the storm, the city limited residents to 10 sandbags because of concerns over the liability should the weight of the bags damage vehicles."
