City Council Meeting Minutes April 20, 2021 <br />seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, to approve Resolution 2021-75R. <br />Council Member Gleason inquired about the flood gauges on the Blanco River <br />and he asked if these will be integrated with the National Oceanic and <br />Atmospheric Administration in order to get accurate data. He noted the good <br />information that is provided by this agency that is current information. John <br />Espinosa, Project Engineer, stated these will tie into the Hays County System <br />which is utilized by the National Weather Service. <br />Mayor Hughson asked for confirmation that physical flood gauges/depth <br />markers will be added to any roads that are not currently marked and that are <br />prone to flooding. This informs the public that those roads are likely to flood. <br />Ms. Griffith confirmed this is correct. <br />Council Member Baker inquired about cement buffers in alleyways to move <br />water and asked if this will replace trees and natural elements to move water. <br />Laurie Moyer, Director of Engineering and CIP, stated alleyways are being <br />constructed with concrete lined channels in order to align with flood reduction <br />requirements that our code requires. Trees will be removed but they are <br />working with property owners and the City Urban Forester to assist with tree <br />mitigation and tree protection during the process. <br />Council Member Gonzales asked if these will be placed in the Blanco River or <br />the San Marcos River. Mr. Espinoza stated these will be placed on the San <br />Marcos River. Hays County will be placing gauges along the Blanco River. <br />MOTION TO AMEND: A motion was made by Mayor Hughson, seconded by <br />Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, to amend Resolution 2021-75R by amending <br />Table 2 CDBG-MIT Budget Allocation by Project by changing the Blanco <br />Riverine Regional Flood Mitigation Project from $13M to $14M and changing <br />the Blanco Gardens Neighborhood Flood Mitigation Project from $3M to <br />$2M. <br />The motion to amend carried by the following vote: <br />For: 7 - Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Council Member Baker, Council Member <br />Gonzales, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, Council Member Garza and Council <br />Member Gleason <br />Against: 0 <br />MAIN MOTION: to approve Resolution 2021-75R, as amended.
