Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Ratify the Chair's signature on FEMA CTP funding award documents. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Recently, Public Works completed the application process with FEMA supporting <br />a Cooperative Technical Partners Program grant mapping 100 year floodplain <br />along Whiskey Creek. We have received notice of award and FEMA is <br />requesting execution of award documents. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />FEMA is providing $60,000 towards remapping approximately nine miles of <br />Whiskey Creek 100 year floodplain using emerging technologies. Working with <br />the County's contract hydraulics and hydrology consultant (Watershed Science <br />and Engineering), we propose using two-dimensional HEC RAS modeling re- <br />defining portions of Whiskey Creek 100 year floodplain. Public Works is <br />providing $50,000 in project matching funds. <br />Public Works received notice of award on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. On <br />September 22, 2016, we received notice that signature on award documents is <br />required by the close of business 09-23-2016. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />$50,000 will be paid by the Flood Control Zone District Fund matching $60,000 <br />paid by FEMA. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: Electronic Message from FEMA (09-22-2016) <br />EXHIBIT 2: FEMA Award Documents <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
