<br />Ms. Sbcnyl HabI, Commmrity Mitigation'Brandl Chief
<br />
<br />Dear Mr. Weiland:
<br />
<br />d!it~
<br />
<br />The City of Cailon City wishes to continue the appe81 of FEMA's deQsion to not fund our Hazard Mitiglltion Grant
<br />Program (HMGP) projea propOsal. In $Upporl of !he appeal, City staff initia1Iy c:onduacd a swvey of residents wiIhin
<br />the project area to determine the flood.llistoJy and the number of slIuc:tu:res af1'ec:ted in previous eveats. The survey
<br />conc:luded tbat at least 16 homes bad been af1'ec:ted by flood. runo1f in the pasl There were a sipi1iant Il1IDll1er of
<br />IeSidents who were unavailable or not at home during !he time of the 5UIVCY, so the talal1lUlIlbcr of a1!eclaI homes is
<br />ancettain.
<br />
<br />More rccent1y, the staff re<OlllaCtcd the 16 residents to obtain dollar C&timI!tes of damages for those previous flood.
<br />cvelIla Oftbose 16 contadS, oDly 6 te5pOllSCS have been ~ to date. The total dollar amounl of the most recent
<br />d~ .cpo.lt.d so far is, S 15,481. In addirion, ODe homeowner ccmslnlc:tCd a 537,000 flood wall, wbic:h bad a dual
<br />puiposc: of lllitigalion problems from: ~ runaff aDd mJbsuIfaci: drainap. We feci con1ltl- tbat there is more
<br />dlI~ that could be included in the total dollar amouDt. but we have I10l ~ed numbers based on !be
<br />~ iIIformatioD rccclved. Also, it would be vel)" dif.Iia1Ii to asSign a frequency to the floods that caused the
<br />repmud dR""'i'" Based 011 our eA-peri=. the project area receives nuiSance tlooditig quite frcqueul:ly. However. the
<br />aica has not experienced a rare (ie. SG-year or lOO-year) flood ewnt that we are aware of in recent his!o!y.
<br />
<br />We request tbatl'EMA use the HMGP appbon thai was prepared for the City by the consulting film ofMonlgomety
<br />WalSOD, Inc. The damage analysis in the original application yielded a beacfitkost nIlio of 1.6 for the projec.t. The
<br />analysis did I!gj; tai:e into amsidelarlon the propcny daniage dis:us6ed above. and theRfore the blc ratio is adually
<br />~ ~ 1,6, Although the type of llNVl;Ilg experienad iiI CatIon City docs not usually involve loss oflife, property
<br />clamage aDd seven: Iltri""""" flooding does o=r On a reguI8r basis.
<br />
<br />The ieSu1ts ofimpl.........tillg the requested HM<lP project woWdbe extremely benetic;ial to our N'nIlmnll;\y. We would
<br />appreciate your sina:re reoi:msidcratioD for Jimling this project. Pl5e call me at (719) 269.9011 if you have any
<br />qw:stions reprdlng this matter. .
