Assistant City Administrator/Chief Financial Officer Stephanie Russell introduced the item to Council, noting that Hurricane Harvey caused an estimated $301,000,000 worth of damage to the City’s streets and drainage infrastructure. The City’s Disaster Recovery Program Management Consultant, Connie Nicholson, spoke to Council about two potential sources of Hurricane Harvey recovery funds – the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Ms. Nicholson informed Council that CDBG funds are not yet available, but that the HMGP program is now open for the submittal of notices of intent. The HMGP program requires project proposals, estimated costs, and the expenditure of matching funds on any approved projects. Ms. Nicholson encouraged the City to always have projects designed and ready to go when funding for projects becomes available. Council discussed the need to clean and repair the City’s existing drainage system, including the need to remove all of the debris from Dickinson Bayou. Council also discussed the street damage map, which was found to contain some minor inaccuracies with the City’s jurisdiction, and with some streets ____________________________________________________________________________________ March 13, 2018 City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 2 not having a damage rating assigned.
