Background and Discussion:
It is recommended that the Flood Control District be authorized to accept the grant award funds from the Texas Water Development Board from Texas legislative action (state Community Directed Funding) to fund the the TC Jester Stormwater Detention Basin Project. TWDB funding efforts were led by Rep. Sam Harless. This project has also received Congressionally directed grant funding assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Legislative Pre-Disaster Mitigation (LPDM) program providing up to $9,886,000 for design and construction, as well as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, providing up to $21,000,000 for design and construction.
