In addition, City staff has been working on options to reduce the floodwater overflow into the across the City in addition to the overflow channel and upstream detention being analyzed by the Army Corps of Engineers. While this Action Plan is not the location to fully flesh out these projects, and HUD specifically limits the amount of funding that the City can use on Army Corps projects, the City will likely reserve the HUD allowed amount for Planning. Using these funds to amend the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan, whether stand alone or as part of a larger Comprehensive Plan update, will provide the City with a perfect opportunity to fully evaluate the costs and benefits of multiple alternatives, and then choose the projects that best accomplish the goals of this Action Plan. Incorporating these types of activities into this Needs Assessment will add roughly $50 million to the overall need total. It should be noted, however, that many of these activities and projects are inter -related, and therefore will have an overlapping of cost and potentially benefit. Therefore, once all potential projects are vetted as the City enters its implementation phase, this cost may go down as activities are combined or streamlined for efficiency and to remove potential duplications of effort. This Needs Assessment recommends the categories that were addressed by the projects from the Feasibility Study. Based upon the results of the study the City will select projects that meet the National Objective of benefit to low mod citizens of the City through the repair and replacement of public infrastructure and address the greatest priorities.

Discussions with the public and with City leadership will refine this information and prioritize the assistance needed. At this time, it appears that the priority for utilization of CDBG-DR funding (related to infrastructure) will be for the implementation of Public Infrastructure projects (See Appendix J).
