Re: City of Cibolo
citymanaaer�cibolotx nee Alamo Area Regional Mitigation Action Plan (MAP)
Dear Mr. Kinsey,
The City of Cibolo wishes to update the Alamo Area COG Regional
Mitigation Action Plan to include the City as a participating community and
incorporate local action items into the plan. The city was involved with the
mitigation team that met December of 2002 under team leader Larry Timmerman
for the Guadalupe County communities of Cibolo, Marion, New Berlin, and
Seguin. Unfortunately, city resources at that time did not allow Cibolo to fully
participate in the Regional Mitigation Action Plan.
In September 2007, the city adopted the Town Creek Flood Protection
Plan. Many of the action items developed in this plan reinforce the goals and
objectives outlined in the "Mitigation Strategy" section of the AACOG Regional
Mitigation Action Plan. This is illustrated in the attached table titled "How Does
Cibolo's Action Plan Further the Objectives of the Alamo Area Council of
Governments Regional Mitigation Action Plan?"
The City desires that Cibolo's action items be incorporated into the
AACOG Regional MAP, specifically at page 100. These action items are
formatted and populated with supporting information that describes each item
as set forth in the "Local Mitigation Actions" section of the Regional Mitigation
Action Plan, and can be found attached to this correspondence.
The City of Cibolo appreciates this opportunity to be included in the plan
and looks forward to participating in the next formal update. To prepare for this
update, the City requests further info about the update process. If you have any
questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me at (210) 658-9900.
Sincerely,
r Q1 Todd Parton
City Manager
