Information about this item will be provided to the Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee on February 12, 2018.

AGENDA ITEM # 22 STRATEGIC Public Safety PRIORITY: AGENDA DATE: February 14, 2018 COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): All DEPARTMENT: Office of Emergency Management CMO: Jon Fortune, 670-1204 MAPSCO: N/A ________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT Authorize adoption of the 2017-2022 City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan, which identifies strategies to mitigate natural hazards in the City of Dallas - Financing: No cost consideration to the City BACKGROUND The 2017 City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) defines the hazards (such as flooding) and potential strategies to mitigate those hazards as federal grant funding becomes available. Without this strategy, the City of Dallas will not be eligible to apply for the grants. This Mitigation Action Plan is effective for Fiscal Years 2017 through 2022. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires approval of Mitigation Action Plans every five years. The 2017 City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was approved by FEMA in late 2017 and will be effective once adopted by the City. The City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan satisfies the natural hazards mitigation planning requirements as specified in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The plan was developed following the process outlined by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The update follows guidelines provided by FEMA 386-8: Multijurisdictional Mitigation Planning (August 2006), FEMA’s Local Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning Guidance (July 2008), FEMA Hazard Mitigation Planning Handbook (March 2013) and other FEMA guidance. The City completed the following tasks as required by law to ensure a functional, accurate, and thorough Hazard Mitigation Action Plan: Developed the Mitigation Planning Working Group that included internal City departments and community stakeholders Completed plan development and strategy meetings with the Mitigation Planning Working Group BACKGROUND (continued) Invited public input on hazards affecting the City of Dallas through a public survey which was advertised in social and print media Conducted three public input meetings to obtain feedback on potential mitigation projects from community stakeholders Solicited a review of the plan from regional Subject Matter Experts in Mitigation planning to ensure thoroughness of the planning process The 2017 City of Dallas Hazard Mitigation Action Plan

  • How to Make Urban Growth More Inclusive: the Dallas Experience
    HOW TO MAKE URBAN GROWTH MORE INCLUSIVE: THE DALLAS EXPERIENCE J.H. Cullum Clark Director, George W. Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative January 2019 The author has adapted this essay from a chapter he wrote in Joel Kotkin, ed., “Beyond Gentrification: Towards More Equitable Urban Growth.” The author thanks everyone who helped research housing and neighborhood issues in Dallas and provided advice on this essay, particularly Tillie Borchers, Joseph Cahoon, Duane Dankesreiter, Klaus Desmet, Jon Edmonds, Jack Matthews, Christie Myers, Doug Newby, Linda McMahon, Pamela Stein, Todd Williams, and Philip Wise, as well as his George W. Bush Institute colleagues Ken Hersh, Holly Kuzmich, William McKenzie, Ioanna Papas, Matthew Rooney, Kristin Spanos, Jenny Villatoro, Enisha Williams, and all the members of the phenomenal research team assembled by Joel Kotkin and Wendell Cox. The opinions expressed in this essay are the author’s alone. George W. Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative 1 The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region is a microcosm of America’s latest urban evolution. The metropolitan area is booming, fueled by a range of thriving industries and a tremendous influx of people and businesses. Like other central cities within big metro areas, the City of Dallas – home to 1.3 million of the 7.4 million in the DFW metro – has experienced a stunning resurgence from the dark days of the 1980s, when the city was reeling from an oil and real estate crash. Yet for all its heady growth, Dallas still faces many of the defining challenges bedeviling other major cities and the nation: a dwindling middle class, growing bifurcation into “have” and “have-not” neighborhoods, an emerging home affordability problem, and rising numbers of poor citizens who feel left behind by 21st century prosperity.

  • City of Dallas: Housing Analysis
    Table 23 shows the total value of the CRA loans made to small businesses by institutions in Dallas County categorized by the median family income of the business applicant’s census tract. Columns two through four categorize the total amount loaned by the size of the loan. Column five shows the amount of money loaned to small businesses (revenue less than or equal to $1 million). Thirty-nine percent of Dallas County CRA loans went to businesses located in census tracts where family incomes are greater than 120% of the area median income for the DFW MSA. Around 15% of CRA dollars went to communities with median incomes below 50% of area median income. Significantly fewer CRA dollars are going to lower income census tracts; this disproportionately affects minority residents who are more likely to live in census tracts with lower median incomes.
