Item 44 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city wants to team up with Williamson County to refresh its ATLAS 14 Floodplain Mapping Study, folding in newer topographic data and development info from the slivers of Austin that spill into the county. Keeping flood maps current matters because they shape where water is expected to go — and what that means for properties in those overlapping areas. Austin would chip in up to $57,160 for the update, paid out of the Watershed Protection operating budget.
The official agenda language
Approve negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with Williamson County for the City to provide funding in an amount not to exceed $57,160 to update Williamson County’s ATLAS 14 Floodplain Mapping Study to incorporate updated topographic data and development information from areas within the City’s overlapping jurisdictional boundaries. Funding: $57,160 is available in the Operating Budget of Austin Watershed Protection.
