Drainage improvements within the Northside Neighborhood, within the Little Cedar Bayou Watershed are <br />intended for this allocation. <br />The storm water collection system from the 6th street area is ultimately conveyed to an outfall point within the <br />bayou on the west side of SH 146. As part of an initial phase of drainage improvements for this area, utilization <br />of the allocated grant funding would allow for drainage improvements to be made at the most downstream end of <br />the storm water collection system to provide additional conveyance capacity within the system. <br />This Public Hearing may reveal other potential projects desired by the public for this allocation. <br />Liabilities: <br />6th Street, from W. Madison Street to W. Main Street., has significant ponding in storm events as low as 5-year <br />event; the storm sewer collection system becomes surcharged and flows backward/upstream and bubble out of <br />the inlets along 6th Street. The area is very flat with no room for the water to leave the street, causing ponding in <br />the street and the adjacent yards until water levels within the collection systems recede and there is volume <br />available for the ponded water to gravity drain dry. <br />Would not fulfill citizen participation requirement necessary to submit CDBG-DR application by not having <br />public hearing, thus not allowing access to funding allocation. <br />Operating Costs: <br />No Impact. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Conduct public hearing to receive public comment(s) on the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement <br />Project and associated Texas GLO CDBG-DR 2015 Floods and Storms (DR-4223 and DR-4245) allocation of <br />$325,775.30. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
