LAMP board debates how to account for resiliency in property‑evaluation matrix; tables decision to December

Board members debated whether to add a separate resiliency category to the LAMP evaluation matrix or to integrate resiliency considerations into existing scoring categories. Several members argued a dedicated resiliency score would highlight important climate and flood‑risk characteristics; others cautioned that a new category could double‑count attributes already captured and would require reworking the 100‑point scoring structure and minimum thresholds.

Staff recommended adding resiliency language in existing categories or using metadata/bonus points as alternatives and noted the current matrix totals 100 points with a 5‑point bonus and a 50‑point minimum threshold. Several board members favored tabling the change and revisiting it in December with options for a 2027 implementation to avoid rescoring parcels midcycle.
