E. Implementation and Performance Schedule As mentioned under §V. Funding Allocation and Prioritization Method, the City anticipates expending all funds awarded within 6 years of grant contract execution between HUD and the City. At this time, because the City is still evaluating various infrastructure projects, the City is providing a high level Implementation and Performance Schedule and will amend the Action Plan once more solid information becomes available.

Identification of Public Meetings Held The City has made a concerted effort to involve the public prior to and following the release of Federal Register FR -5938-N-01 announcing the availability of $25,080,000 in disaster recovery funding. The public meetings held to date are listed below: • April 12, 2016; 6pm; Hill Country Church, 1401 Davis Lane, San Marcos, TX 78666 • April 16, 2016; 6pm; Fire Station 5, 100 Carlson Circle, San Marcos, TX 78666 • July 6, 2016; 6pm; San Marcos Activity Center, 501 E Hopkins St, San Marcos, TX 78666 Public meetings included a slide presentation, a community unmet needs survey, and a question and answer session. All materials for these meetings were translated into Spanish, in accordance with City policy related to accessibility of information to non-English speaking families. All information related to these meetings can be found on the City's CDBG Disaster Recovery Website: http://smtxfloodrecovery.com/ All three public meeting locations were fully accessible to persons with disabilities. The meeting announcements included information on accessibility requests for individuals requiring an interpreter, auxiliary aids, or other services and were posted on the City's established website. The City took both verbal and written comments from citizens during the meeting and provided an email address for a contact at the City should they have additional questions. Of note, the public meetings and surveys resulted in a majority of citizens that indicated a preference for spending funding on much needed infrastructure projects in order to avoid repetitive loss in the future. The City supported those requests and preferences by allocating a majority of the CDBG-DR funding for infrastructure projects that would reduce the number of homes that are located within the floodway or 100 year floodplain as well as reduce the likelihood of repetitive loss moving forward. B. Creation of Community Stakeholder Task Force The City's disaster recovery team established a CDBG-DR Needs Task Force. The Task Force is made up of impacted citizens, community leaders, and representatives from human service organizations that served to assist the City in identifying and articulating to HUD the needs of our community. Task Force meetings were held on the following dates and times: • June 22, 2016; 11:30am; San Marcos Activity Center, 501 E Hopkins St, San Marcos, TX 78666 • July 7, 2016; 11:30am; Fire Station 5, 100 Carlson Circle, San Marcos, TX 78666 Last Updated 3/03/20 Page 55 of 63
