  16. Flood Control Program • Completed around 60 projects • Currently working on 21 flood control projects (at various phases) • Backlog of 58 identified project areas • 1993 – present: Flood Control Projects defined by density of service requests and assessment by Storm Water Inspector & Engineer. • Watershed Priority Ranking efforts becoming more proactive. • Perform approximate modeling to determine street and house flooding • Number of Backlog projects will likely increase

  17. Strategic Investment Programs • Collaboration with various City Programs where we provide technical support and funding • Neighborhood Projects - $515,000 • Transportation Projects - $515,000 • Transit - $1,081,500 • Economic Development - $515,000
