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 />Fulfills application requirement(s) of providing a resolution approving a local commitment of funds. <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 />Lack of resolution would not fulfill GLO CDBG-DR application submittal requirement(s), causing the application <br />to be rendered deficient, leading to potential failure to secure funding. <br />Operating Costs: <br />No Impact. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval of a Resolution approving a local commitment of $125,000 <br />of $325,775.30 provided by the Texas General Land Office for the 2015 Floods and Storms (DR-4223 and DR- <br />4245) Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program for the Northside Neighborhood <br />Drainage Improvement Project Phase I. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
