Approve a resolution authorizing the submission of an application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant program for funding for the East Bouldin Creek - Annie Street Flood Risk Reduction Project. Funding: Submission of the application has no fiscal impact. If successful and federal funds are awarded, Watershed Protection will be required to contribute 25% in matching funds. In that event, staff will return to City Council to authorize the execution of a funding agreement, accept and appropriate federal funds, and contribute the local match.

Council is being asked to greenlight a grant application to FEMA's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program to help fund the East Bouldin Creek - Annie Street Flood Risk Reduction Project. Submitting the application itself costs nothing, but if Austin lands the federal money, Watershed Protection would have to chip in a 25% local match — at which point staff would come back to Council for sign-off on the funding agreement and the matching dollars.
