COUNTY OF TARRANT §
This Memorandum of Understanding(MOU), is not a legally binding document, but is an
agreement between the City of Fort Worth, City of Everman and Tarrant County (otherwise
known as parties or political subdivisions)to show their support and willingness to assist each
other in the pursuit of federal and state "Grant Opportunities available for City of Everman
Chambers Creek Flood Prevention and Mitigation". A grant may include property buyouts to
minimize future flood damages to homes and businesses in flood prone areas. Texas Statutes
require that the political subdivisions in the flood prone watershed must have entered into a
MOU at the time of the application. The applicant must delineate the Project Watershed
(Attached as Exhibit"A")using the best available data with analysis performed in accordance
with sound engineering principles and practices. Estimates of the affected area may be revised
as projects advance from planning to final design. Revisions may be necessitated by the
collection of additional data, development of more refined modeling tools, refinement of design
criteria,or other factors.If a revision of the affected area results in the identification of
additional political subdivisions affected by the project,the applicant is responsible for
notifying those entities, seeking their cooperation, and documenting their cooperation via a
revised MOU.
Pursuant to S.B. 7 grant approval requires that the political subdivisions have and will act
cooperatively to address flood control needs in the Project Watershed, all eligible political
subdivisions substantially affected by the proposed project have participated in the process to
develop the proposed flood project;the political subdivisions either cooperatively or separately
have held public meetings to accept public comment on proposed flood projects from interested
parties,the technical requirements for the proposed flood project have been completed and
compared against any other potential flood projects in the same area, and an analysis has been
completed to determine whether the proposed flood project could use floodwater capture
techniques for water supply purposes, including floodwater harvesting, detention or retention
basins, or other methods of capturing storm flow or unappropriated flood flow.
Nothing herein shall require the parties to be bound by any terms or conditions of a federal
or state grant agreement nor shall this MOU require any party to apply for such grant as stated
above without the express approval of its governing body. If a political subdivision is not
awarded federal or state funding,then this MOU shall have no effect. Furthermore, upon receipt
of such funds, if awarded, both parties agree to negotiate in good faith an agreement with the
terms and conditions detailing the parties' obligations which must be approved by each
governing body.
