title
Request by the Flood Control District for approval to accept an amendment to an agreement with the Texas Water Development Board to increase the award amount by $2,112,569, for the FY 2020 FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (Greens Bayou Watershed, Project ID P103-00-00-H001, Precinct 2).
end
Background and Discussion:
A contract amendment is needed because a more recent appraisal of the property has valued approximately $2.1M higher than the original estimate. The Real Property Division has reviewed and approved the appraisal and supports the contract amendment.
Expected Impact:
The purchase and demolition of a Severe Repetitive Loss property will remove the structure (a motel) from the floodplain, preventing future flood insurance claims, and allowing the floodplain to function in a more natural manner.
Alternative Options:
Taking no action would result in not reaching an agreement with the property owner.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
