On November 15, 2016 County Commissioners Court approved the Method of Distribution developed by the Harris County Community Services Department, recommending allocations for housing and non-housing CDBG- DR. The Method of Distribution (MOD) was submitted to the Texas General Land Office (GLO) on November 16, 2016, and has been approved by the GLO. The GLO-CDR has allocated $325,775.30 to the City of La Porte through Harris County initial MOD and MOD Amendments No. 1 and 2 from the 2015 Floods CDBG-DR funds. Now, to access the funding allocated to the City of La Porte, GLO requires submission of a Non- non-housing projects to repair or mitigate damage that occurred during the Presidentially declared Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 4223-DR-TX (2015 Memorial Day) and FEMA 4245-DR-TX (2015 Halloween) disasters. Additionally, to qualify an application activity under the CDBG-DR requirements, the project must principally benefit those of low and moderate income areas, and consist of projects that fail to function during the declaration period. CDBG-DR applicants and funded entities are required to carry out citizen participation procedures in accordance withthe Citizen Participation Plan as described in this 2015 Texas Floods Action Plan. Benefits: Drainage improvements within the Northside Neighborhood, within the Little Cedar Bayou Watershed are intended for this allocation. The storm water collection system from the 6th street area is ultimately conveyed to an outfall point within the bayou on the west side of SH 146. As part of an initial phase of drainage improvements for this area, utilization of the allocated grant funding would allow for drainage improvements to be made at the most downstream end of the storm water collection system to provide additional conveyance capacity within the system. This Public Hearing may reveal other potential projects desired by the public for this allocation. Liabilities: 6th Street, from W. Madison Street to W. Main Street., has significant ponding in storm events as low as 5-year event; the storm sewer collection system becomes surcharged and flows backward/upstream and bubble out of the inlets along 6th Street. The area is very flat with no room for the water to leave the street, causing ponding in the street and the adjacent yards until water levels within the collection systems recede and there is volume available for the ponded water to gravity drain dry. Would not fulfill citizen participation requirement necessary to submit CDBG-DR application by not having public hearing, thus not allowing access to funding allocation. Operating Costs: No Impact. Action Required by Council: Conduct public hearing to receive public comment(s) on the Northside Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project and associated Texas GLO CDBG-DR 2015 Floods and Storms (DR-4223 and DR-4245) allocation of $325,775.30.

The TWDB has posted a request for applications (RFA) for $1.8 million in grants for flood protection planning, flood early warning systems, and flood response strategies. Grant funds cannot be utilized towards construction related services. The purpose of this request for applications is to provide assistance to political subdivisions to implement prevention and/or corrective measures for reducing loss of life and property due to flood. These measures take a variety of forms and may include the development of flood protection plans; the planning for, installation of, or enhancement of flood early warning systems; or the development of strategies to prepare for and respond to flood events. The TWDB expects that these measures will complement and enhance existing efforts related to providing floodplain management resources to local entities, providing weather and streamflow data, or developing near real-time and online flood information. Anticipated projects that may meet the eligibility requirements are: 1) Battleground Estates Phase II St Gully Analysis; 4) Citywide Drainage Model It is the intent of this program to award at least 50% of the available funding to communities with less than 50,000 in population. Fifty percent of the total cost of the project may be provided to applicants, thus the cost sharing responsibilities are 50% TWDB, 50% local funds. Application are due by 2:00 PM on Jul 11, 2018. The anticipated award date is September 2018. Awarded projects must be completed no later than August 31, 2021.

Benefits: Provides opportunity to develop flood protection/planning tools such as inundation maps; integrated 2D storm sewer system modeling; early warning systems; outreach materials; flood protection plans; and flood response Program to earn insurance premiums for flood policy holders. These planning tools also improve the ability to prepare for the threat of flood, as well as respond to the impacts of flooding. Fulfills application requirement(s) of providing a resolution authorizing application submission. Liabilities: Access to aforementioned flood protection/planning tools would be delayed, as these items would be projected into future budget(s), at full cost to the City. Lack of resolution would not fulfill TWDB FY 2018-2019 Flood Protection Grant application submittal requirement(s), causing the application to be rendered deficient, leading to potential failure to secure funding. Operating Costs: Anticipated total cost for the 4 aforementioned projects is approximately $500,000; actual anticipated cost(s) to the City would be approximately $250,000, given the 50/50 cost sharing responsibilities. Costs associated with flood protection/planning could be incorporated into the FY19 and/or the FY20 budget(s). Action Required by Council: Consider approval of Resolution authorizing the submittal of an application to the Texas Water Development Board, granting authority to enter into a contract with the Texas Water Development Board, and committing to matching funds in cash and/or in-kind services for the FY 2018-2019 Flood Protection Grant.
