Mr. Zail introduced <br />the team involved with the Infrastructure feasibility studies. Mr. Zail reviewed <br />Blanco River flood events from 1957 to present. <br />He provided the current findings that showed that the projects recommended <br />will increase protection during local rainfall events, but during larger events <br />flooding will still occur. There were numerous stakeholder meetings and site <br />visits throughout the study to determine needs. The Blanco Gardens Riverine <br />solution was discussed which proposes drainage improvements and a bank <br />improvement trail, either a paved surface or vegetated surface could be <br />created. This bank improvement trail could potentially tie into the City <br />proposed trail at a later time. Overflow channels would be created as well to <br />further increase protection from future flood events. <br />Mr. Zail presented possible solutions to address local drainage issues in the <br />City of San Marcos Page 1 <br />
