revision back to a City Council workshop.

Public Works Deputy Director Stan Laster reviewed the 35th Year Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program for reconstruction of East Worth Street from Ruth Street to
Eckley Street and from Dooley Street to Austin Street. The estimated cost for the project is
$372,500.00. If CDBG funding does not meet the cost of construction after the bid opening,
the project will be reduced in scope and constructed over two years in separate packages
or the City will be able to supplement the CDBG funding to construct the entire project in
one year.

ITEM 7. RESOLUTION, ADOPT TARRANT COUNTY MID-CITIES LOCAL
MITIGATION STRATEGY
Note: Mayor Pro Tern Wilbanks returned to the meeting.
Emergency Management Coordinator Carrie Little recommended approval of a resolution
adopting the Tarrant County Mid-Cities Local Mitigation Strategy fulfilling requirements set
forth in the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The hazard mitigation plan establishes
a basis for local communities to receive cost-shared federal pre- and post-disaster
mitigation funding. Failure to adopt the plan will result in the City of Grapevine being
ineligible for pre- and post-disaster mitigation assistance. The plan identifies actions that
could be taken to mitigate the hazard or to lessen the vulnerability to a specific hazard
should funding become available. Within the City of Grapevine actions identified included:
updating and maintaining the outdoor warning siren system; encouraging property owners
to participate in the National Flood Insurance program; development of a comprehensive
public education program for presentation to civic groups; and completion of a cost benefit
study for retrofitting critical facilities against hail and high winds.
