RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the application for and acceptance of, if awarded, a grant from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency in the amount up to $150,000.00 for the Cooperating Technical Partners Program;
2. Authorize the execution of a contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the

3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize a grant application to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)for the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program to
provide funding to produce flood insurance rate maps and other flood hazard information for 15
streams. The purpose of the CTP Program is to provide an innovative approach between FEMA and local
communities that have the capability to become active participants in the FEMA flood hazard mapping
program. Communities that participate in the CTP Program collaborate directly with FEMA in maintaining
up-to-date flood hazard maps and flood hazard information. The overall outcome of this effort will be more
timely development of accurate floodplain maps, leading to savings in flood insurance premiums to many
Fort Worth residents. Staff estimates that this specific effort could save up to a total of$200,000.00 per
year in flood insurance premiums.
FEMA has notified the City of Fort Worth that funds are available for the CTP Program. The Storm Water
Management Division of the Transportation and Public Works Department will administer the CTP
Program.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
