RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of an interlocal agreement with Crowley Independent School District, in the estimated amount of $1,755,697.00 with City
participation in the approximate amount of $1,372,648.00, for flood mitigation improvements in the Clark Road neighborhood area;

3. Amend the Fiscal Years 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of an interlocal agreement (ILA) with Crowley Independent
School District (District) to partner together to better manage the District's drainage discharge from the District's new athletic facility,
mitigate flooding within the adjacent Clark Road neighborhood and to appropriate funds in the amount of $1,440,000.00 for the Clark Road Flood
Mitigation project.
Several residents in the Clark Road neighborhood immediately downstream of the site where the District's new athletics facility is being
constructed periodically experience drainage issues on their property, including some home flooding. The District's project affords an opportunity
for the City to significantly mitigate these issues through a partnership with the District. This project will construct a large drainage pipe system
from the stormwater detention basin of the District's new athletic facility and route the water around the Clark Road neighborhood. Smaller
drainage pipes and swales to capture stormwater along Clark Road and across residential properties will also be constructed to route runoff to the
new large drainage pipe to mitigate home flooding.
The City and District have each contributed engineering analyses. The City will acquire the needed easements for project construction. The
District will perform final design and will construct the project. The total project cost estimate is $1,755,697.00, with City participation in the
estimated amount of $1,440,000.00. The District's cost responsibility is for the portion of the project from their detention basin to Clark Road, and
the City's cost responsibility is for the remainder of the project. The City will reimburse the District for the City's portion of the project costs per the
terms of the ILA. City reimbursement will cover costs associated with survey, easement documentation, design, construction, material testing,
inspection and other applicable costs. City project costs not included in the ILA are estimated at $61,890.00 and include City project
management, easement acquisition, and other applicable costs. The City's portion of the project cost will be funded from the Stormwater Capital
Projects Fund.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) due to the partnership opportunity not
being identified when the initial CIP was developed. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 24446-09-2020.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.

Projects Fund for the Clark Road Flood Mitigation project to support the approval of the above recommendations and execution of the agreement.
Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation and Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
