Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Flood Control District for approval to accept an amendment to an agreement with the Texas General Land Office to approve seven projects for the CDBG-DR Program (24-033-000-E072).
end
Background and Discussion:
On June 6, 2023, Commissioners Court approved a list of potential CDBG-DR projects under direct allocation to the Flood Control District. This approval authorized the Flood Control District to begin working on project applications for the approved project list. Upon application approvals by the Texas General Land Office, the projects are required to be formally added to the CDBG-DR contract. Project applications for seven of the thirteen DR projects above the funding line have been reviewed and approved by the Texas General Land Office. GLO has requested that we amend the current contract to include those seven projects so we can seek reimbursement on expenditures related to these projects. As additional applications are approved, the CDBG-DR contract will be further amended to include those projects.
Expected Impact:
With the approval of these seven projects, the Flood Control District can now seek reimbursement on expenditures related to the CDBG-DR program for these projects, as it relates to design, environmental, and grant administration activities. Seeking reimbursements will help the Flood Control District meet their spending milestone for the CDBG-DR program.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is to not amend the contract and lose opportunities to seek reimbursement.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
