Regular Council Meeting August 14, 2023 Page 6 Derek Hughes pointed out where his house was located and stated there were sink holes in his back yard, it was eroding and was dangerous. Mr. Mittge referenced the Cobb Fendley Report (Cobb Fendley Engineering, Frisco, Texas) that was done in response to the 2016 flood events. He noted that it was reported there were a total of 11.53 inches over an 11 -day period. He also noted that the Cobb Fendley analysis reflected that the North Sulphur River flood gauge was at flood state during the 2016 events, thereby restricting new water from upstream and making Paris flood worse. Mr. Mittge said channel widening and culver improvement would cost approximately $10.2 million. He said they needed to get a Lidar and Survey Data to analyze the 100 -year flood plain in this area to adjust flood maps. Mr. Mittge's recommendations included further exploration of expanding the sizes of some channels in strategic locations, cleaning out of the channels of significant obstacles and debris, building detention ponds in key locations, utilizing City staff to perform this work as soon as possible and contracting out where needed, continuing property enforcement of drainage detention through the City's Subdivision Ordinances while also improving Ordinance language where necessary; and to conduct Lidar Laser Survey citywide to capture existing topography and aid in future studies. Council Member Pilgrim discussed with Mr. Mittge the Waters of the U.S. Blue Stream. Mayor Pro -Tem Pankaj said having the Lidar would help with all of the quadrants of the City. 20.
