APPROVED: Mayor, Bryan Lankhorst ATTEST: Kathy Turner, City Secretary Staff Repot To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Date: January 8, 2009 Agenda Item No: VIII -d Subject: Computer Purchase Originated by: Chief Tommy Williams Summary: Chapter 59 of the Code of Criminal Procedure authorizes expenditures of seizure funds after submission of a budget to the governing body of the municipality. The police department would like to purchase three (3) lap top computers for use in patrol units. These lap tops will replace three units that have become unserviceable due to age. Lap top computers allow officers to run license plates and wanted persons checks from the cars as well as write reports from the field. The price of the units is still being determined by Finance and IT. The unit price should be in the neighborhood of $600 to $650 each plus the cost of three docking stations and mobile chargers. The police department is asking for approval to spend up to $3,000.00 out of the seizure fund to purchase the computers and mobile docking stations. Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase.

In November a memo was submitted to the City Manager for approval to carry Tasers. The request was approved. The police department would like to purchase 5 Tasers and related training equipment for use by patrol officers. The total cost for all items would be $6,145.20. The purchase is through GT Distributors in Austin. GT is the sole manufacturer distributor of Tasers for Texas. Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase. CADocuments and Settings\ cbrown \mydocuments \samplestaffreport LAW KENNEDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT October 10, 2008 To: Bob Hart, City Manager From: Tommy Williams, Chief of Police Re: Request for Approval — Tasers Introduction The purpose of this memo is to ask for consideration to allow our officers to carry Taser devices. We are beginning to experience situations where officers are in need of a less- lethal form of force that can be carried on their persons. Specifically, the discussion began in the police department due to some of the race track crowds becoming rowdier and more difficult to control in certain circumstances, such as fights and assaults. This memo will hopefully answer the questions that you may have surrounding the use of Tasers. In investigating this issue, I have found that there is no clear consensus on the safety of the Taser. I believe that, based on available information, this controversy arises not from an unsafe device but from police misuse of the devices as well as suspects who are already at increased risk of death from substance use and /or medical conditions. I will attempt to show'that, with proper oversight, the Taser can allow officers to be more efficient and safe in performing their duties while protecting the public safety. I don't enter into this discussion lightly because of the controversy that exists in the public arena about the devices. I am also aware that we as police officers owe it to the public to exercise as many force options as possible to reduce injury and death to the citizens that we serve. The Taser is one of several less- lethal options that exist for our officers. We already use other options including OC ("pepper") spray and the FN 303 air gun that shoots a small round projectile at sub -sonic speeds. The Taser would simply be another tool for officers to draw on when a situation arises for a less lethal solution. i ., The one thing that I found in researching the use of Tasers is that there are two definite schools of thought. The first is that they are a useful tool that enables an officer to control an otherwise uncontrollable suspect without resorting to deadly force. The other side is that they are a danger to anyone that is subjected to them, and should be banned from use by anyone, including police. Many of the "anti" sentiments are voiced by groups such as ACLU and the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Although these groups are often dismissed as politically liberal and anti - police, they do raise important points that need to be considered 401 Municipal Dr. Kennedale, Texas 76060 Office 817 -985 -2160 Fax 817 - 478 -6433 LAW KENNEDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT when deciding whether to deploy Tasers or not. Those considerations will be addressed within the body of this memo. The most recent study that I found was published by the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 2007. The study focused on the effects of Tasers as used by police in the field. Of 1,000 uses studied, 99.7% (or 997 subjects) had what was termed as "mild injury" which ranged from no injury to scrapes and bruises. Three subjects (0.3 %) suffered severe enough injuries that hospital attention was required. A separate piece written by a group of community and civil rights activists in California questioned the validity of the Wake Forest study. Their concerns centered on the fact that 23% of subjects in the study's abstract were listed as having some sort of injury. They felt that this "1 in4" injury rate was unacceptable in showing that-Tasers are safe. The group also raised questions about severe injury or death to at -risk ("vulnerable") groups such as pregnant women, the elderly, the mentally ill, those under the influence of drugs." This at -risk group issue is one that can be addressed with proper policy and procedures as well as good supervisory review and oversight. Only one person was cited in the death issue from this article. It was the death in San Jose, CA. of a citizen who had been Tased " ' by police. In the same paragraph describing a family's loss the article states that the coroner's office cited the Taser as a " potential contributing factor to the suspect's death. The article also states that Miami EMTs are using a nasal sedative or iced saline injections as protocols for Tasered suspects. The assumption drawn is that because of this the Tasers are deadly to suspects. Using this logic you could make the argument that because injured pedestrians are rushed to a hospital and treated, this is indicative that cars are deadly and should be banned from the roadways. My opinion would be that the protocols were developed to prevent the deaths of those who happen to fall into an at -risk group. Because the at -risk person may not be immediately identifiable, all persons would be treated with the protocol to prevent injury or death. A separate study in Chicago used 11 pigs that were Tasered for 40 seconds and, after a 10 to 15 second pause, were Tasered for 40 more seconds. After the test all of the animals had heart rhythm problems, with two of them dying within minutes. Once again this test uses what would appear to be questionable logic. The Taser is used against humans for a 5 to8 second interval, not 40 seconds. If unsuccessful, a second 5 to 8 second interval may be administered. After that the officer should move to another tactic. The Taser deaths always seem to 401 Municipal Dr. Kennedale, Texas 76060 Office 817 - 985 -2160 Fax 817 - 478 -6433 KENNEDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT revolve around multiple Taser uses, some as high as seventeen shock deliveries. Common sense would tell me that anything over two times would normally be considered unnecessary or excessive. It appears to me that, based on the writings I have read, the problem really comes down to poor management of Taser usage by police departments. Either they fail to place adequate training and policies in place, or they fail to properly police themselves when the Taser is used against suspects. The misuse of any level of force (including verbal commands and command presence) can bring discredit upon a police department. A department's reputation depends greatly on its ability to present an image of fairness and level headed response to the citizens it serves. Officers have to be concerned with exhausting all lesser options before escalating to a higher level of force. That requires hiring the proper people in the first place, training them to a specific standard, and then holding them accountable to that standard. A quick of departments finds that many of the agencies in this area already deploy the Taser for their officers. These agencies include Ft. Worth, Arlington, Forest Hill, Everman, and Mansfield. Many of the larger agencies in the northeast end 'of the county also use the Taser including North Richland Hills, Haltom City, and Euless. I mention this as a means to note that our deploying them would not be out of the norm for the area. Findings Tasers can cause death. So can OC spray and expandable batons. All of these tools, while considered less- lethal options, still have the capacity to cause death in an at -risk individual. For the general population, however, the Taser can be an effective tool in managing a violent person. While the studies cited may send contradictory signals, I believe that the Taser's benefits far outweigh the potential danger to at -risk individuals. Training and policy are two of the most important keys in preventing unnecessary injury and death to suspects. The Taser is a tool just like anything else an officer carries. If misused, any tool can cause injury or death. A person can also be beaten to death by an officer using a department approved baton if it is not applied according to policy. Generally, every use of force policy (including ours) includes prohibitions against repeated uses of a single force method. The rule is, if it doesn't work the first time, you may try it once more. If it still doesn't work move on to something else. I have attached a revised copy of our Use of Force general order. The portion that I added to address Tasers is highlighted for your review. We ask police officers to do a very difficult job, often under the worst of 401 Municipal Dr. Kennedale, Texas 76060 Office 817 - 985 -2160 Fax 817 - 478 -6433 KENNEDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT conditions. It would be wonderful if every person we dealt with were cooperative and agreed to a peaceful negotiation. Unfortunately that isn't always the case. Officers sometimes need extra leverage to assist in gaining control of a situation in the most expedient and the safest method possible. I believe the Taser will allow officers to do just that. It will give them another force option to use, if needed. Officers will no longer have to go "hands -on" with a violent person and risk physical injury to themselves or their suspect. It will also prevent damage to vehicles and property. I have officers presently on staff who are certified as Taser instructors. They have indicated a willingness to demonstrate to you and /or the council how these weapons work, including being Tasered themselves. These officers already have a lesson plan developed and are ready to begin training our personnel. Recommendation I am recommending that our department be allowed to carry the Taser. We have funds within our seizure account to purchase the units for officers to carry. We have what I believe is a well written policy ready to go. It was based on existing policies in use by area departments as well as the IACP model policy. I would recommend the model that utilizes the " Taser cam" function to record the deployment. This will provide us with digital proof of what occurred during the incident in which deployment was made. 401 Municipal Dr. Kennedale, Texas 76060 Office 817 -985 -2160 Fax 817 - 478 -6433 Date: January 8, 2009 Agenda Item No: VIII -f Subject: Consider authorizing the submission of state legislation creating a municipal management district for the development of the TownCenter and appointing the initial board of directors. Originated by: Bob Hart Summary: The development of -the TownCenter is premised on the need for a variety of incentives. David Johnson of Cypress Properties is interested in pursuing the project with a build out of approximately 8 years. Although the feasibility is still underway, it is necessary for the city to move forward on- several- fronts: namely -the -creation .of a municipal management district (MMD), a tax increment - financing (TIF) district and securing a planned development zoning. The MMD must be done through the passage of state legislation. With the session beginning, it is necessary we move forward quickly on it- MMDs are established by the Texas Legislature. Management Districts have the power to levy taxes and assess property owners for a variety of improvements and services. The primary purpose of a management district is to promote employment, commerce, economic development, and public welfare in commercial areas. Homeowners within a management district are usually exempt from the special assessments, 1. Through formal application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TECQ), 2. Through a special state bill with the help of local state legislators. The proposed legislation (attached) is general in nature and is limited to EDC or City owned property. It also requires the appointment of the initial board of directors. The staff recommendation is that the mayor, mayor .pro -tem, EDC chair, EDC vice - chair, and city manager be appointed as the five initial directors. Recommendations; City Staff recommends approval and the appointment of the mayor, mayor pro -tem, EDC chair, EDC vice- chair, and city manager as the five initial directors.

This plan focuses on natural hazards. Fort Worth has experienced a variety of natural disasters including flooding, tornadoes, and severe hailstorms. Technological events have included large hazardous material spills, chemical plant fires, petroleum plant fires, and a number of gasoline tanker accidents. Preparation of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has been coordinated by the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management. The jurisdictions participating in this plan represent unincorporated portions of Tarrant County as well as nineteen of the forty -one cities in the County. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team consisting of staff from all participating jurisdictions and external agencies participated in development of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. It is important to note that this plan was developed without reliance on a contractor or consultant. It is our plan. We firmly believe that planning is a process, not a product. Specific hazards and risks in each jurisdiction have been identified and are addressed in each jurisdiction's section of this plan. The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan identifies natural hazards that pose a risk to our area. Vulnerabilities to those risks are identified and quantified as appropriate. Goals, strategies, and projects to mitigate those risks are identified and analyzed as part of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. This Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will be incorporated into Annex P of the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Emergency Plan to meet planning standards of the Texas Division of Emergency Management. In addition, the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan can also serve as a stand -alone document to facilitate identification and analysis of risks as well as strategies and projects to mitigate those risks. It is anticipated that this document will undergo changes in future years as our mitigation process develops and matures.

October 24, 2008 Page 7 PLANNING PROCESS Description Preparation of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has been coordinated by the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team consisting of city and county staff as well as representatives from external agencies participated in development of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. We feel it is significant that the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has been developed by the jurisdictions participating in the plan and interested external agencies. We did not use a contractor to develop the plan and deliver a product to us. We have benefited from conducting the process ourselves. An axiom of emergency management is that "planning is a process, not a product." Once this plan is approved by FEMA we will continue the process to identify hazards and projects to mitigate the hazards. We have no plans to delegate that responsibility to an outside contractor. The basis of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan is the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Crosswalk developed by FEMA Region 6 and the Texas Governor's Division of Emergency Management. The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was developed as an appendix to Annex P - Hazard Mitigation of the Fort Worth - Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan. The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan consists of a basic plan containing information about the planning process, mitigation strategies, and methods for updating the plan followed by appendices for each participating jurisdiction. This format makes the plan more user friendly. Each jurisdiction can easily access information about their hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation projects by referring to their section of the plan. All twenty jurisdictions participating in the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan also participate in a multi jurisdictional emergency management program. The process used to develop this Mitigation Action Plan was an enhanced version of the process used to develop and update our Emergency Management Plan and annexes. Staff from the Fort Worth - Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management involved all participating jurisdictions as well as external agencies in the planning process through meetings, telephone calls and e- mails. Many of the participating jurisdictions have very limited staff and can seldom spare time to attend meetings away from their city. Deviating from the process used for all other emergency management planning and coordination was not practical. FEMA Document #386 -8, Multi - Jurisdictional Mitigation Planning (August 2006) States: "Any reasonable way to organize the participants will be acceptable if the jurisdiction demonstrates some kind of direct or representative participation. Make sure the plan clearly describes jurisdictional representation or formally authorized representation in the process. " October 24, 2008 Page 8 We believe the process we used to develop this plan is reasonable and appropriate for our jurisdictions. The participating jurisdictions were involved in developing this plan through meetings, e- mails, and telephone calls specific to this planning effort. Hazard mitigation planning was also addressed during our normal day -to -day interactions with the participating jurisdictions. Gathering the required information for the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan from twenty jurisdictions was both problematic and an opportunity. Many of the participants in this plan are smaller cities with extremely limited staff and resources, so in some cases information and mitigation programs are also limited. Fort Worth - Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management staff e- mailed, telephoned, and met with each of the participating jurisdictions to obtain information and conduct planning for the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. This provided an opportunity to promote emergency management in general and mitigation in particular. As with other components of our emergency management program, Fort Worth - Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management staff frequently represented the jurisdictions at planning and public meetings since those jurisdictions typically cannot spare staff for meetings. Representatives from participating jurisdictions and interested parties organized as the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team. This team played an active leadership role in the development of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan by identifying and assessing hazards, setting goals, identifying potential projects, writing and reviewing drafts of this plan, and by providing invaluable technical expertise and jurisdictional knowledge. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team began by reviewing the NCTCOG Multi - Hazard Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategies for Geologic, Severe Weather & Climatic Hazards. We also reviewed the Texas Mitigation Plan and specifically discussed the Texas State Mitigation Strategy. Although the NCTCOG documents were developed to serve as region -wide documents, they provide an excellent assessment of the types of hazards that could affect jurisdictions in Tarrant County. Each jurisdiction's history, geography, and any other pertinent factors were analyzed to determine the risks and vulnerabilities of the hazards within the jurisdiction. After the most significant hazards had been identified for each jurisdiction, an assessment of vulnerable populations and facilities in each jurisdiction was begun. Potential mitigation projects designed to mitigate those vulnerabilities were discussed in all meetings and became the subject of numerous telephone calls and e- mails. Factors such as project effectiveness, cost, possibility of federal funding, availability of matching funds, and the difficulty of administering the projects were considered in determining which projects to include in our initial Mitigation action Plan. A decision was made to include projects that would provide protection for our citizens and emergency facilities as well as have the best chance to be funded and have successful outcomes. The adage that "success breeds success" was mentioned on October 24, 2008 Page 9 several occasions. Successful mitigation projects will build public and political support for mitigation. The projects included in this plan - Safe Rooms, Weather Alert Radios, determining feasibility of strengthening emergency facilities, and flood mitigation — are all achievable for our jurisdictions. The integrated urban nature of Tarrant County and the entire Fort Worth - Dallas Metroplex requires careful consideration of potential effects of hazards and mitigation projects on neighboring communities. A mitigation project in one jurisdiction may either eliminate or worsen the effects of that hazard in a neighboring jurisdiction. For example, increased development has resulted in more impervious cover and increased rainfall runoff, which has led to more destructive flash flood events downstream. The need for coordination of projects that cross jurisdictional boundaries was discussed at all meetings. The obvious example of flood mitigation projects that might speed the flow of water downstream into another jurisdiction was discussed at length. Due to complexity and cost, inter jurisdictional projects were not included as proposed projects in this initial Mitigation Action Plan. Two potential projects were discussed at length, thus laying the groundwork for future, larger scale projects. Those potential projects were Farmers Branch Creek which rises in far west Fort Worth and flows through White Settlement, Naval Air Station Fort Worth, and Westworth Village before emptying into the West Fork of the Trinity River. Farmers Branch flooded in 2000 and 2004 resulting in Small Business Administration Disaster Declarations. The other inter jurisdictional project discussed at length was along big Fossil Creek, which rises in north Fort Worth and flows through several cities before emptying into the Clear fork of the Trinity River. Portions of both creeks have been the subject of flood studies by a variety of agencies including the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management prepared an initial preliminary draft Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan that was presented to the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team, participating jurisdictions, and external partners for review on October 13, 2004. Subsequent drafts were submitted on October 25, 2004, October 28, 2004, and November 5, 2004. The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was submitted to the Texas Division of Emergency Management in December of 2004. It was returned for revision in March 2005. Subsequent attempts to reconcile comments with the Texas Division of Emergency management were suspended in August 2005 due to the diversion of resources to our response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In late 2006 efforts to complete the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan were restarted through the North Central Texas Council of Governments. All participating jurisdictions were contacted by telephone, e-mail, and meetings to ensure full understanding and participation in the planning process as well as to update pertinent information. An additional public meeting was held on March 5, 2007. In early June 2007 a revised draft of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan was provided to all participating jurisdictions and agencies for review. Comments were resolved and October 24, 2008 Page 10 changes coordinated with all participating jurisdictions through meetings, telephone calls, and e- mails. A revised plan was submitted to the North Central Texas Council of Governments on June 24, 2007. Subsequent developments in December 2007 led to the decision to submit the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan separate from the North Central Texas Council of Governments. Once again, the plan was disseminated to participating jurisdictions and agencies for review and updating of pertinent information. An additional Public Meeting was held on January 25, 2008. As with the other meetings, no members of the public attended. Comments were resolved and changes coordinated with all participating jurisdictions through meetings, telephone calls, and e- mails. Upon approval of this plan by the Texas Governor's Division of Emergency Management and FEMA the participating jurisdictions, the Hazard Mitigation Council, and our Hazard Mitigation Team will meet and move forward with mitigation projects in our participating jurisdictions. In addition, prior to the required five year update of this plan we will develop a Tarrant County comprehensive risk assessment. This is not the final version of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. We view this plan as a living document and will continually review, revise, and update the plan as more or updated information becomes available, projects are completed, and additional projects are identified.

ANNUAL REVIEW STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS All stakeholders will be invited to review the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan through the means identified under the Continued Public Participation section. In addition, the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team and Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Council will actively seek to involve stakeholders in the planning and review process. Potential stakeholders will include organizations such as neighborhood associations, home -owner associations, and civic service organizations. COMMUNITIES DESIGNATED FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION Tarrant County has two communities that meet the criteria for Small and Impoverished Communities found in 44 CFR Section 201.2 per data from the 2000 Census. Blue Mound has a population of 2,388 and a per capita income of $16,553. Pelican Bay has a population of 1,505 and a per capita income of $12,408. NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES & INTERESTED PARTY INVOLVEMENT We participated in early portions of the HazMAP planning process conducted by the NCTCOG. Representatives from cities throughout Tarrant County and surrounding counties participated in this process which included communities from throughout the region. The NCTCOG facilitated a number of regional HazMAP meetings which we used as opportunities to contact neighboring jurisdictions, local agencies, businesses, and any other attendees to offer participation in developing the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Separate from the NCTCOG meetings; Fort Worth - Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management staff used e -mail and telephone calls to contact neighboring counties, nearby cities and other potentially interested parties to solicit interest in the HazMAP process. Among the interested parties contacted were Texas Christian University, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Red Cross, Naval Air Station Fort Worth, Tarrant Regional Water District, and the National Weather Service. Of the agencies contacted, the following elected to take an active role in the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan: • Tarrant Regional Water District • Naval Air Station Fort Worth — Joint Reserve Base (Emergency Management Office and Public Works) • Chisholm Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross October 24, 2008 Page 20 • National Weather Service, Fort Worth Forecast Office • National Weather Service, West Gulf River Forecast Center These agencies participated in development of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan by providing information, attending meetings, and reviewing drafts of the plan. All have indicated they will remain actively involved in our mitigation program. It is anticipated that additional interested parties and agencies will become involved in the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan as the planning process develops, matures, and becomes more widely known. A number of informal meetings of emergency management staff from cities throughout Tarrant County were held to discuss the HazMAP process and coordinate potential mitigation projects. On the morning of June 8, 2004 a Tarrant County -Wide HazMAP workshop was held with NCTCOG staff to review the latest guidance from the Texas Division of Emergency Management and FEMA as well as continue coordination among the jurisdictions preparing HazMAPs. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team will continue to seek coordination with existing groups such as the recently created Fort Worth Storm Water Utility District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, local engineering firms involved in flood plain management and consulting, neighborhood associations, and any other interested parties. REVIEW/INCORPORATION OF EXISTING PLANS, STUDIES, REPORTS, & TECHNICAL INFORMATION A number of existing documents have been or are in the process of being incorporated in the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan, and vice versa. Those documents include: • Fort Worth — Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan • NCTCOG Multi - Hazard Risk Assessment • City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan • Farmer's Branch Creek Study (White Settlement & USACE) • Big Fossil Creek Watershed Study ( NCTCOG) • Little Fossil Creek Watershed Study (USACE) • State of Texas Mitigation Plan • FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps • Tarrant Regional Water District Report: Hazard Mitigation Action Plan Information • Trinity River Project Central City, Fort Worth, Texas (USACE) The Basic Plan section of the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan provides the basis for emergency planning, including mitigation planning, in the participating jurisdictions. The Basic Plan was reviewed to ensure that the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan would function as a part of the overall emergency plan. October 24, 2008 Page 21 The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has been developed as an appendix to Annex P - Hazard Mitigation of the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan per instructions from the Texas Governor's Division of Emergency Management. Annex P provides processes and describes responsibilities for implementing a hazard mitigation program. The processes and responsibilities in Annex P were used as a guide for the HazMAP process. Processes and procedures in Annex P were adapted to meet Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan needs and requirements. The NCTCOG Multi - Hazard Risk Assessment provides an excellent assessment of hazards in our area. Information from the assessment on each hazard was reviewed to determine potential applicability to participating jurisdictions. The City of Fort Worth's Comprehensive Plan is the city's official guide for malting decisions about growth and development. The plan provides a wealth of information about recommended policies, strategies, programs, and projects that the City plans to pursue. Population and economic trends in the Comprehensive plan provided a valuable perspective for identifying potential mitigation projects. Hazard specific studies such as the Farmer's Branch Creek Study (White Settlement & USACE), Big Fossil Creek Watershed Study ( NCTCOG), and Little Fossil Creek Watershed Study (USACE) were reviewed to provide potential mitigation projects. Of particular interest in these studies was the potential for multi jurisdictional projects that could compliment each other and provide a maximum level of mitigation for the dollars invested. The State of Texas Mitigation Plan was reviewed to provide guidance for identifying and prioritizing mitigation projects. Area FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps were reviewed to identify hazard areas and potential mitigation projects. Tarrant Regional Water District staff provided information from studies and models of floodway and reservoir operations to provide data on the main stem river floodways in Fort Worth. Tarrant Regional Water District operates reservoirs on the West Fork of the Trinity River above Fort Worth. They also maintain the levees along the West Fork and Clear Fork on the Trinity River through Fort Worth. METHOD AND SCHEDULE FOR MONITORING THE PLAN The Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management is responsible for providing bi- annual reports regarding the status of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan in the months of January and July of each year to the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team and Hazard Mitigation Council. These reports shall at a minimum contain: ■ A current Hazard Mitigation Team roster ■ Status of any hazard mitigation projects in process ■ Status of any funding ■ Potential funding opportunities October 24, 2008 Page 22 ■ Any new or changed risks or vulnerabilities ■ Any revisions to the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan METHOD AND SCHEDULE FOR EVALUATING THE PLAN Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management staff shall ensure that the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan is reviewed and updated annually during the month of October. The Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team, neighboring communities, the public, and external agencies will be invited to participate in Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan evaluations. Criteria for evaluating the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will include: ■ Successful implementation of mitigation projects ■ Success in increasing public involvement in the hazard mitigation ■ Success in increasing external agency involvement in hazard mitigation ■ FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program regulations and guidance ■ Texas Governor's Division of Emergency Management Standards ■ Applicable City & County codes and ordinances ■ Current NCTCOG hazard mitigation programs ■ Review of the status of National Flood Insurance Plan participation by other jurisdictions within Tarrant County and neighboring counties • National Flood Insurance Plan policy status (number and location of policies in effect, any increase or decrease in policies) • Status of repetitive loss properties (number of claims, new claims, property purchased) METHOD AND SCHEDULE FOR UPDATING THE PLAN ON A FIVE - YEAR CYCLE Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will be reviewed annually during the month of October. The FEMA/GDEM Plan Review Crosswalk for Review of Local Mitigation Action Plans and GDEM Planning Standards will be the criteria for review and updates. Updates to this plan will be coordinated by Fort Worth — Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management staff with participating jurisdictions, the Tarrant County Hazard Mitigation Team, City and County departments, the public, and external agencies. Notice of significant updates will be posted on the Fort Worth - Tarrant County Office of Emergency Management website and communicated to the public and affected /interested parties by the Hazard Mitigation Officer and other OEM staff. Updates to the Plan will include additional information on new or changed risks and vulnerabilities, the reduction of risks or vulnerabilities as projects are implemented, the removal of projects as they are implemented, and the addition of new projects where new risks or vulnerabilities are identified. The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan will be updated every five years or more often as necessary. October 24, 2008 Page 23 OTHER LOCAL PLANNING MECHANISMS AVAILABLE FOR INCORPORATING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MITIGATION ACTION PLAN Other local planning mechanisms and organizations that are available to support incorporating requirements of the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan include: • Tarrant County Local Emergency Planning Committee (Technological hazard identification and mitigation projects) • Tarrant County Emergency Manager's Committee (Coordination of hazard identification and mitigation projects) • Tarrant County Fire Chief's Association (Hazard area identification and coordination of mitigation projects) • NCTCOG (Technical support for hazard area identification and mitigation projects, regional mitigation project coordination) • City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan (Review for information regarding population and economic trends) • Tarrant Regional Water District (Incorporate Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan strategies into their plans and coordinate mitigation projects) • United States Army Corps of Engineers (Coordination of mitigation projects with other projects) • City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department Storm Water Technical Review Committee (Technical review of mitigation projects and coordination of Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan strategies and projects with the City's storm water management program) PROCESS BY WHICH LOCAL GOVERNMENT WILL INCORPORATE THE REQUIREMENTS IN OTHER PLANS WHEN APPROPRIATE The Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan has been developed as an appendix to Annex P - Hazard Mitigation of the Fort Worth — Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan and will be incorporated into that plan upon approval. All jurisdictions participating in the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan participate in and sign onto in the Fort Worth - Tarrant County Emergency Management Plan. The Point of Contract for each participating jurisdiction will ensure that their jurisdiction annually reviews any jurisdiction specific comprehensive plans, capital improvement plans, master drainage plans, ordinances, and codes identified in their portion of this plan to incorporate the requirements of this plan, and hazard mitigation in general, into those documents whenever feasible. October 24, 2008 Page 24 City of Kennedale Jurisdiction Profile Kennedale has an area of six square miles and a NCTCOG 2007 Population Estimate of 6,350. In the mid 1800's, there were early signs of Kennedale becoming a transportation hub. Many wagon trails crossed at the site in numbers that exceeded the trails through what was to become the City of Arlington. In 1882, John D. Hudson, along with C.B. Teague and O.S. Kennedy, purchased land and established the town of Kennedale at the site of a mineral well. The well formed the focal point for development of a central business district with a train depot, hotel, general merchandise store, drug store, bank post office, lumber company and blacksmith. In 1886, the Fort Worth and New Orleans Railway Company was built through Kennedale to Waxahachie. A brick yard was established in 1888 at the location of the present City Park. Fire raged through the business district in 1908 destroying-all but the general store that remains standing today. The business district was never rebuilt and business activity gradually migrated to Mansfield Highway. After an election with 42 voters in July 1947, the Town of Kennedale was incorporated with a population of 300. By 1950, the population had increased to 500 and a petition to the State was approved changing the status of Kennedale from a "Town" to a "City ". 1990 2000 2006 2007 4,096 5,850 6,150 6,350 2007 Population Density (persons per square mile): 973.52 City Point -Of- Contact Jay Hinkle, Kennedale Fire Department Land Use and Development Trends Kennedale is experiencing slow to moderate residential growth and very slow commercial growth as developments fill in areas that were previously used for agriculture. Approximately 55% of Kennedale remains undeveloped. Jurisdiction Unique Hazards Hazards specific to Kennedale are discussed below. October 24, 2008 Page 356 0 October 24, 2008 Page 357 DAM FAILURE No Vulnerability — There are no high hazard dams located in Kennedale and none that would affect Kennedale if they failed. Based on the lack of vulnerability, dam failure will receive no further consideration in this plan for Kennedale. DROUGHT Low Vulnerability — Kennedale currently uses wells to provide water to its citizens. However, the City is planning on purchasing water from Fort Worth to meet growing needs for water to due growth. Fort Worth purchases water from the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD). TRWD water supply comes from three reservoirs on the West Fork of the Trinity River in northwest Tarrant County and from two reservoirs located well southeast of Tarrant County. These diverse supply locations help mitigate the effects of a local drought. An additional reservoir location well northeast of Tarrant County is being pursued. There has been some preliminary discussion of constructing a pipeline to carry water from southern Oklahoma. TRWD is installing pipelines to interconnect area water supply lakes with water treatment plants in order to provide maximum flexibility in water supply and treatment. Location — Drought can affect all of Kennedale. Current Extent — As of February 2008, Kennedale was at DO — Abnormally Dry on the Palmer Drought Severity Index. Previous Occurrences — National Climatic Data Center records indicate that in the past ten years there have been three periods of drought in Kennedale, 1996 - 1998, 2000, and 2005-2006. Probability of Future Events — Droughts are certain to occur again in Kennedale. Significant droughts significantly affecting water supply and resulting in mandatory restrictions traditionally occur on a twenty year cycle. Based on the previously cited National Climatic Data Center recent records, we can anticipate that drought conditions will occur approximately every three years. Impact — Drought can lead to loss of water for basic needs such as drinking and fire - fighting. Droughts are associated with increased wildfire and damage from expansive soils. More common impacts are damage to landscaping and reduced recreation due to low lake levels. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local finding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project.

Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — This planning effort will have a low cost with the potential for significant benefits for the entire community. Discussion: This planning effort will focus attention on the effects of drought on the community. Specific drought effects will be identified and efforts can be made to mitigate those effects. EXPANSIVE SOILS Low Vulnerability - Expansive soils have caused damage to some structures in some portions of Kennedale. However, damage has been limited to relatively small geographic areas and there are no reports of significant damage to commercial structures or infrastructure. Location — Expansive soils are found in'various areas of Kennedale. We could not locate a map of expansive soils in. Extent — The extent of expansive soils in Kennedale is believed to be Very Low (0% - 20 %) to Low (21% - 50 %). Previous Occurrences — We could find no empirical data on previous occurrences of damage from expansive soils, but it is believed that expansive soils have caused problems since the first buildings were constructed in this area. ' Probability of Future Events — Due to the variability of soil types and construction quality, it is very difficult to predict future occurrences of problems with expansive soils. However, a study published in the fall 2003 issue of Environmental Geology cited in the September 19, 2003 Dallas Business Journal indicates that many new developments in the Metroplex are being built on soil that is more unstable than soils built on prior to 1990. This could lead to a higher incidence of expansive soil related damage in the future. Im act — The impact of expansive soils ranges from cosmetic cracks in walls to substantial foundation and structural damage that can result in the need to demolish the building. Infrastructure such as pipelines can be damaged causing increased maintenance and repairs, damaged beyond repair requiring replacement, damaged to the point of failure.

Benefits will not be immediately apparent, but will reduce property damage over time. EXTREME HEAT High Vulnerability - Summer heat and humidity can occur anytime from May through October. Community health services actively work with at risk populations to prevent heat related deaths and injuries. The elderly, very young people and people with poor health are most at risk from summer heat. People who work outside or in un -air- conditioned buildings are also at high risk to the direct effects of summer heat. Summer heat can also lead to electrical service outages if equipment fails or demand exceeds available supply. Most public safety and special facilities are equipped with emergency generators. Location - Throughout the City. Extent - Summer temperatures can reach as high as 113 degrees. Kennedale is also subject to high humidity. Previous Occurrences - This is an annual occurrence. The summer of 1980 was a record year with 69 consecutive days of temperatures of 100 degrees or more. We were unable to find a reliable record of deaths or injuries related to heat. Probability of Future Events - Hot summer temperatures are certain to continue to occur in Kennedale. Impact - Summer heat can cause widespread electrical outages resulting in dangerous conditions, especially for at -risk populations. Occasionally "cooling centers" are opened at community centers to provide a safe place for citizens to seek refuge from the heat. Extreme heat can have economic impacts if construction work is curtailed or outdoor special events are cancelled. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project.

Effect on Existing Buildings None - This action is intended to expand public education on extreme heat. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits. October 24, 2008 Page 363 Discussion: Public education on severe weather in Kennedale has traditionally focused on severe thunderstorms and associated hazards (tornadoes, lighting, flooding, high winds). This action would expand public education to include hazards from extreme heat. FLOOD High Vulnerability_ - The topography of Kennedale combined with the frequency of severe thunderstorms results in frequent flash flood events. FEMA records indicate only 39 Repetitive Loss Properties in all of Tarrant County. However, this is probably more a reflection of the low number of flood insurance polices than vulnerability to flooding. Further analysis using GIS and field verification can specifically identify vulnerable structures. Location - The west end of Kennedale is particularly subject to flooding, especially along Village Creek. Extent - Flash floods are the most common type of flooding in Kennedale which tend to occur and recede, very quickly. Previous Occurrences - Flooding in the summer of 2004 hit Kennedale around 8 am in the morning after several days of heavy rain fall. The areas most affected were on the west side of the City from Dick Price Road North to Mansfield Highway (US Highway Business 287) and west up to Oakcrest Drive East. A residential area was damaged with several single family homes with 1 to 2 feet of water in them. Several businesses in the area lost most of their products and suffered damage to machinery. Areas that are prone to flooding are located on the west end of the city. These areas are in high risk of flooding due to Village Creek that runs through the entire area. This flood affected: • Areas of around 600 block Dick Price Road North to Mansfield Highway (US Highway Business 287) • Streets of Grapevine Trail, Trent and Valley • Area in the vicinity of 6801 Oakcrest Drive east north to Mansfield Highway In 1997 Kennedale flooded due to heavy rains with most of the damage in the 600 block of West Mansfield Hwy (Business Hwy 287). The area is mostly single family manufactured housing with several commercial businesses. Several homes and businesses had approximately 6 — 8 inches of water, in the buildings. In the late 1980's Kennedale experienced a flood in the Bloxum Park area. This flood was from Hudson Village Creek north towards Mansfield Hwy. The homes that were most affected by the flood were single family manufactured homes, all were a total loss. Probability of Future Events - Kennedale is certain to experience flood events in the future. Continued development, especially upstream on the Village Creek Watershed, and the resulting impervious cover will increase the likelihood and severity flooding. Impact - Flash floods kill more people than any other hazard associated with thunderstorms. Property damage from flash flooding is seldom covered by insurance, which makes it very difficult for citizens to recover from the flood. Due to the very rapid ; October 24, 2008 Page 364 rate of development and growth throughout Tarrant County we are experiencing problems with determining actual building footprints within flood plains and will be using planimetric GIS data from the NCTCOG to resolve this issue when it becomes available. At that time we will be able to accurately identify the number and types of buildings vulnerable to flooding; as well as access other data associated with those locations such as appraised value, census data, and owner information.

Cost Effective - This project will provide valuable information to the public in a relatively short time and with relatively low costs. It will also have the added benefit of increasing public awareness of mitigation. The estimated cost could easily be offset by reduced losses to the public in a single small flood event. Discussion: Develop Tarrant County specific "Flood Preparedness" brochure. Once developed, the brochure will be distributed County -Wide. Historically flood prone areas will be targeted for door -to -door distribution and neighborhood meetings to present the brochure and solicit input for Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan revisions. The brochure will include: • Description of Tarrant County flood hazards • "Case Studies" of previous flood events in Tarrant County • Preparedness and "self- help" mitigation information • Benefits of city participation in NFIP • Advantages of flood insurance • Risks of not having flood insurance • Warnings that typical homeowner's insurance does not cover rising water • Solicit input for the Fort Worth Hazard Mitigation Action Plan October 24, 2008 Page 367 NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local _staff to administer the project.

Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — This project will provide guidance to reduce the hazard to life and property from floodin . Discussion: This action will develop a study of flooding along Village Creek and provide findings that can reduce the adverse effects of flooding on the creek. HAILSTORM Moderate Vulnerability - Severe thunderstorms and the associated hazard of large hail are a hazard event in Kennedale. Tarrant County averages eleven significant thunderstorm events (large hail, high winds) per year according to National Weather Service records. Most structures in Kennedale can resist the effects of all but the most severe hailstorms. Public safety facilities, infrastructure, and special facilities do not have a history of being vulnerable to hailstorms. Vehicles have proven to be vulnerable to hailstorms with widespread severe vehicle damage reported in 1980 and 1995. Location - Throughout the City. Extent - Tarrant County is subject to the hazards of severe thunderstorms, including large hail. Hail stones up to the size of grapefruit (H9 on the Combined NOAA /TORRO Hailstorm Intensity Scales) have been reported in Tarrant County. Previous Occurrences — There are no reports of significant hailstorm events in Kennedale other than the 1980 and 1995 county -wide events. Probability of Future Events - Thunderstorms with hail are certain to continue to occur in Kennedale. Hail falls on about two or three days per year, ordinarily with only slight and scattered damage (National Weather Service), October 24, 2008 Page 368 Impact — The impact from hailstorms can be significant in extreme events such as the hailstorms of 1980 and 1995. Thousands of homes and vehicles can be damaged in a single storm with millions of dollars in damages. Vehicles are especially impacted by large hails with windshields being the vulnerable part. A recurring problem following hailstorms is broken windshields in vehicles belonging to populations who do not have vehicle insurance and cannot afford the replacements costs, resulting in the owners having difficulty traveling to work, medical appointments, etc. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability qf local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Hailstorm Mitigation Develop a public education campaign to encourage Action #1 "hail resistant" roofing in new construction and roof replacements. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2.

Effect on Existing Buildings This action will potentially decrease the damage caused by most hailstorms to existing buildings. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing hailstorm damage. One long term benefit will be reduced property insurance as claims related to hail damage are reduced. Discussion: Public education has proven to be a low cost effective means to achieve changes public behavior. Encouraging hail resistant roofing can benefit citizens through reduced damage, business through reduced damage to their buildings and reduced claims against insurance companies, and government through reduced request for assistance. This campaign can be developed in conjunction with the Tarrant County effort. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. October 24, 2008 Page 369 Kennedale Hailstorm Mitigation Evaluate City buildings to determine feasibility of Action #2 installing hail resistant roofing and window coverings with a focus on critical infrastructure.

Effect on Existing Buildings This action will determine feasibility of installing hail resistant roofing and window coverings on existing City buildings. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — Although currently undetermined, this project is believed to be - cost effective. Discussion: Installing hail resistant roofing and window coverings on City buildings could prevent or limit damage to City buildings thus avoiding costs to the City as well as preventing or limiting loss of use of damaged facilities. HIGH WINDS Moderate Vulnerability - Severe thunderstorms and the associated hazard of high winds are a hazard in Kennedale. Tarrant County averages ten reported significant thunderstorm events (large hail, high winds) per year. In addition, strong weather fronts can sometimes be accompanied by high winds which occasionally cause damage. Most structures in Kennedale can resist the effects of all but the most severe high wind events. Public safety facilities, infrastructure, and special facilities do not have a history of being vulnerable to high winds. Location - Throughout the City. Extent - Severe thunderstorms with high winds with speeds in excess of 90 mph have been reported in Kennedale. Previous Occurrences — We could find no records of significant high wind damage in Kennedale. Probability of Future Events — Based on previous experience Kennedale can expect to experience an average of ten significant thunderstorm events with high winds per year. ..October 24, 2008 Page 370 Impact — Records on high wind events are difficult to separate from severe thunderstorm records. High winds in Kennedale typically cause little damage to commercial buildings. More often high winds cause damage to roofs, trees, and signs. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale High Winds Mitigation Enact enhanced building codes to reduce damages Action #1 from high winds. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2.

Effect on New Buildings This action will provide high wind mitigation education and materials to builders that will reduce the damages of high winds on new buildings, Effect on Existing Buildings This action will provide high wind mitigation education and materials to builders that will reduce the damages of high winds on existing buildings. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The low cost of developing and providing high wind mitigation compared with savings to the community make this action cost effective. Discussion: Public education has proven to be a low cost and effective means to achieve changes public behavior. High winds have not been a focus of severe weather preparedness. LANDSLIDES No Vulnerability — There are no areas in Kennedale subject to landslides. Based on the lack of vulnerability, landslides will receive no further consideration in this plan for Kennedale. However, landslide hazards will be reviewed during the annual review of this plan and we will continue looking for areas with landslide potential during hazard surveys. LEVEE FAILURE No Vulnerability — There are no levees or areas that would be affected by levee failure in Kennedale. Based on the lack of vulnerability, levee failure will receive no further consideration in this plan for Kennedale. LIGHTNING Moderate Vulnerability — Lightning is one of the most common hazards in Kennedale. Thunderstorms (and by definition, lightning) occur an average of 30 — 50 days per year (Oklahoma Climatological Survey). Lightning is the second most common cause of weather - related deaths in Texas (National Weather Service). Lightning information is available only for Tarrant County on a county -wide basis. Location — Throughout the City. Extent — We could find no references to the average number of strikes per storm in Kennedale. However, lightning is by definition associated with thunderstorms. Previous Occurrences — Kennedale experiences 30 — 50 thunderstorm days per year. From 1995 — 2004 one person was killed and five were injured by lightning in Tarrant County (National Weather Service). Throughout Texas 34 people were killed by lightning, there were 184 injuries, and an estimated 23 million dollars in damages due to lightning from 1995 - 2004 (National Weather Service). Probability of Future Events — Based on past experience Kennedale will experience 30 — 50 thunderstorm days each year. Some days will have more than one thunderstorm during a given thunderstorm day. October 24, 2008 Page 372 i Impact — Although lightning is the second most common cause of storm related deaths in Texas, lightning deaths remain relatively rare. Lightning does cause property damage several times per year (we could not find statistical data to validate this observation). NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Lightning Mitigation Provide lightning mitigation materials with building Action #1 permit packets. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2.

Effect on Existing Buildings This action will ensure existing critical infrastructure Mitigation Goal /Objective has adequate lightning mitigation. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The destructive and sometimes capricious nature of lighting warrant the expense of this action compared with the benefits of avoiding damage to critical infrastructure. Discussion: Review and confirmation of the adequacy of lightning protection systems in City buildings housing critical infrastructure is worthwhile considering the number of thunderstorms experienced in Kennedale. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM High Vulnerabilitv - Severe thunderstorms are the most common hazard in Kennedale. From 1950 through August 2007 Tarrant County averaged eleven reported severe thunderstorm events county -wide per year. Most structures in Kennedale can resist the effects of all but the most severe thunderstorms. Public safety facilities, infrastructure, and special facilities do not have a history of being vulnerable to thunderstorms. Location - Throughout the City. Extent - Tarrant County is subject to the hazards of severe thunderstorms of all magnitudes. Previous Occurrences - Records are available only on a county -wide basis. Probability of Future Events — Severe thunderstorms will occur in Kennedale an average of eleven times per year. Impact — A single severe thunderstorm can cause damage from hail, high winds, lightning, and /or tornadoes to thousands of structures. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project.

Effect on Existing Buildings This project will determine the feasibility of structurally hardening the Kennedale Fire Station against severe weather. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective - This,project will provide the basis for a realistic cost benefit analysis of the feasibility of hardening the Kennedale Fire Station against severe weather events. The relatively low cost of this project compared with the potential benefits of protecting a city's emergency response equipment against the jurisdiction's most likely hazard event result in a favorable cost benefit review. Discussion: This project will provide for determining the feasibility of hardening the city's only fire station against severe weather. This project will contribute to protecting emergency response equipment so that it will be available to assist the citizens of Kennedale in responding to and recovering from severe weather or other events. Final project details will be developed in. accordance with grant requirements at the time the project is funded. The cost estimate is a conservative "best guess" based on a structural analysis of the existing fire station. That analysis would require: • Structural analysis of the building by a Structural Engineer • Analysis of electrical systems • Analysis of HVAC systems • Review of building codes NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project.

Discussion: Effective education on storm resistant construction can reduce damage from severe thunderstorms. Insurance companies may be willing to fund or provide educational materials and /or provide discounts to persons who install storm resistant devices. SEVERE WINTER STORMS Moderate Vulnerability - Since 2000 the National Weather Service has reported 14 Winter Storm/Ice events. Winter storms in Kennedale usually consist of short-lived icing events (ice on the roads for a few hours) that primarily affect traffic and cause numerous motor vehicle accidents. Occasionally an ice storm will cause widespread power outages for as long as several days. ONCOR Electric Delivery has an aggressive tree trimming program. Most structures in Kennedale can resist the effects of all but the most severe winter storms. Public safety facilities, infrastructure, and special facilities do not have a history of being vulnerable to winter storms. Electrical service outages are usually the most serious threat in this area. Most public safety and special facilities are equipped with generators. Location - Throughout the City. Extent - Severe ice storms have resulted in accumulations in excess of two inches. Most storms leave only a light coating or glaze of ice. Previous Occurrences — Severe Winter Storms are typically regional events. Kennedale has averaged two winter storms per year since 2000. Most winter storms resulting only minor inconveniences and a few motor vehicle accidents. In 1978 up to an inch of ice coated area trees and roadways causing $14 million in damages region -wide and making travel almost impossible for two days. In 1996 a winter storm dropped two to four inches of a mixture of sleet, freezing rain, and snow in Kennedale over Thanksgiving weekend causing many motor vehicle accidents and some electrical service outages. October 24, 2008 Page 376 In 2003 a winter storm dropped one inch of sleet across Kennedale resulting in numerous motor vehicle accidents and closing schools for two days. Probability of Future Events - Kennedale can expect to experience two winter storms per year with a severe winter storm once each ten years. Impact - Winter storms can cause widespread electrical and telephone service outages, make travel dangerous or impossible, and damage structures. Deaths and injuries due to vehicle accidents and slips /falls are common during ice storms. Occasional deaths and injuries from carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper heating have occurred. Economic losses due to lost production can be significant. Damage from frozen pipes can lead to significant expenses for homeowners. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Severe Winter Storm Increase public education concerning winter storm Mitigation Action #1 preparedness and mitigation. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2. Reduce the loss of life and property damage resulting from severe weather events. 2. c. Enhance public education concerning severe weather preparedness. Priority Medium Estimated Cost $10,000 Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • City Funds Potential Matching Funding • City Funds Sources Responsible Agency • Kennedale Emergency Management • Fort Worth — Tarrant Count OEM (Support Estimated Completion Time Frame 9 Months Effect on New Buildings This action will provide information concerning severe winter storm mitigation that can be incorporated into new buildings. Effect on Existing Buildings This action will provide information concerning severe winter storm mitigation that can be incorporated into existing buildings. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The low cost is effective when compared to benefits provided to citizens. Discussion: Winter weather preparedness has not been emphasized in Kennedale as much as severe thunderstorms. This action will provide preparedness information to citizens during the fall. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as 2vailabili o 'local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Severe Winter Storm Purchase additional street sanding capacity Mitigation Action #2 October 24, 2008 Page 377 . Mitigation Goal /Objective 2. Reduce the loss of life and property damage resulting from severe weather events. Priority Low Estimated Cost Undetermined Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program ® City Funds Potential Matching Funding ® City Funds Sources Responsible Agency Kennedale Emergency Management Estimated Completion Time Frame One Year Effect on New Buildings This action will have no effect on new buildings. Effect on Existing Buildings This action will have no effect on existing buildings. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — Sanding streets is essential to allow emergency vehicles to respond during severe winter events. Discussion: Sanding equipment can be mounted on existing equipment to provide sanding capabilities. During severe winter weather events streets around hospitals, fire stations and other critical facilities are sanded along with major intersections and roadways. Additional sanding capacity would allow for quicker sanding of these areas and for more repeat sanding during prolonged winter weather events. This will improve public safety by facilitating emergency response as well as reducing motor vehicle accidents. STREAM BANK EROSION Moderate Vulnerability - Flash floods along Village Creek can cause stream bank erosion. Some homes, businesses, and roadways are vulnerable to stream bank erosion. Most buildings are a safe distance from the current path of the creek. Further analysis using GIS and field verification can specifically identify vulnerable structures. Location - Along Village Creek on the northwest side of Kennedale. Extent - Stream bank erosion along Village Creek has washed away several feet of bank during a single flash flood event. Previous Occurrences - Minor flooding associated erosion occurs frequently, especially during the spring and early summer. In June of 2004 significant flooding on Village Creek caused some bank erosion. Probability of Future Events - Kennedale is certain to experience stream bank erosion in the future. Continued development and the resulting impervious cover will increase the likelihood and severity flooding and associated erosion. Impact - Extreme stream bank erosion could destroy homes, businesses, and /or roadways. Kennedale is a small city and any loss of business would have a noticeable impact. Roadway damage can restrict access for home /business owners and cause minor to major inconveniences to for drivers.

Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — Although the final project cost is undetermined, it is believed the action will be cost effective. Discussion: This action will review erosion control techniques and implement the most effective technique for controlling erosion along Village Creek. -l1 9 -\:1I October 24, 2008 Page 379 High Vulnerability — All structures in Kennedale are vulnerable to tornadoes. Very few structures can withstand the effects of an F5 tornado. However, the March 28, 2000 F3 tornado that struck Fort Worth provided good evidence that well built structures'can protect people who take appropriate shelter inside those buildings. Location - Tornadoes can occur anywhere in Kennedale. Extent - Kennedale is subject to tornadoes of all magnitudes, including F5 tornadoes. Previous Occurrences — We found no reports of tornados causing damage in Kennedale. However, Tarrant County has an average of one tornado reported per year county -wide (Source: National Climatic Data Center). In 2007 there were eight tornadoes reported by storm spotters county -wide. Four of those tornados caused damage, all within incorporated areas. Probability of Future Events - Tarrant County has averaged one reported tornado per year and can expect that average to continue. Kennedale, based on its relatively small size, will likely experience tornados very infrequently. Impact - Tornadoes can cause deaths, injuries and property damage /destruction. Special facilities such as hospitals, fire stations, and utilities can be damaged or destroyed. Citizens who live in neighborhoods struck by tornadoes can experience disruption of their life styles and traditions. Areas struck by tornadoes can experience increased demand for mental health services as people deal with grief and stress. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Tornado Mitigation Project Assist citizens with funding for building tornado #1 safe rooms or in-ground shelters. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2. Reduce the loss of life and property damage resulting from severe weather events. 2. a. Encourage storm resistant construction Priority High Estimated Cost $100,000 25 Safe Rooms at $4,000 each Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • Private Foundations • Community Development Block Grant Funds Potential Matching Funding Sources Home/Building Owner Responsible Agency ® Kennedale Emergency Management • Fort Worth - Tarrant Count OEM (Support Estimated Completion Time Frame 18 Months Effect on New Buildings This project will encourage new buildings to be constructed with tornado safe rooms as part of the construction process. The safe room will enhance the overall storm resistance of the building. October 24, 2008 Page 380 Effect on Existing Buildings This project will encourage homeowners to construct /install tornado safe rooms in their existing homes. A safe room will enhance the overall storm resistance of the building. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective - Safe rooms and in- ground shelters have been proven to reduce deaths and injuries during tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. It is impossible to quantify the value of a human life and difficult to quantify the value of an injury. We believe that the value of a single life saved or injury avoided will offset the cost of this project. An added benefit of this project will be to raise awareness of safe rooms and severe weather safety throughout the area, thus providing benefits even to citizens who do not participate in this program. Discussion: This project will reimburse costs associated with tornado safe room or in- ground shelter installation in new or existing homes. Safe rooms provide increased protection for citizens during severe and tornados. Safe rooms have been proven to save lives and reduce injuries from severe weather events. FEMA publication 320 (Taking Shelter from the Storm, Building a Safe Room Inside Your House) provides the standards for safe rooms. As stated on the FEMA website: Although a "residence may be built "to code, " that does not mean it can withstand winds from extreme events such as tornadoes and major hurricanes. The purpose of a safe room or a wind shelter is to provide a space where you and your family can seek refuge that provides a high level of protection. To protect its occupants, a safe room must be built to withstand high winds and flying debris, even if the rest of the residence is severely damaged or destroyed. Proposed guidelines for implementation of the project are as follows: • Reimbursement to home owners will be for no more than $3,000 or 75% of cost, whichever is less • Eligibility will be limited to individuals who own their home at the time of application • The safe room or in- ground shelter must be constructed /installed in the primary residence of the applicant • Each eligible homeowner can only receive one reimbursement, regardless of the number of shelters he /she may purchase /install • In- ground shelters must meet requirements established in the National Performance Criteria for Tornado Shelters dated May 28, 1999. • Safe Rooms must meet the requirements of FEMA Publication 320 • Safe Rooms and shelters must meet all applicable city and /or county codes • Previously owned or used shelters will not be eligible for reimbursement NOTE: Final guidelines will be developed in accordance with grant requirements and applicable law at the time the project is funded. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. October 24, 2008 Page 391 Kennedale Tornado Mitigation Project Assist citizens with funding for purchase of #2 Weather Alert Radios Mitigation Goal /Objective 4. Increase the effectiveness of warning systems in. Tarrant County. 4. a. Increase the number of homes and businesses with Weather Alert Radios. Priority High Estimated Cost $4,000 100 Weather Alert Radios at $40 each Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • Private Foundations • Private Sector Donations • City Funds Potential Matching Funding Sources Citizen/Business Owner Responsible Agency • Kennedale Emergency Management • Fort Worth - Tarrant County OEM (Support Estimated Completion Time Frame 18 Months Effect on New Buildings This action will no effect on new buildings. Effect on Existing Buildings This action will have no effect on existing buildings except for providing additional warning time of severe weather events thus allowing citizens more time to secure their home or business against approaching severe weather. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — Weather Alert Radios are a proven means to alert and warn citizens about severe weather and civil emergencies. It is impossible to quantify the value of a human life and difficult to quantify the value.of an injury. We believe that the value of a single life saved or injury avoided will offset the cost of this project. An added benefit of this project will be to raise awareness of Weather Alert Radios and severe weather safety throughout the area, thus providing benefits even to citizens who do not participate in this program. October 24, 2008 Page 382 NOTE: We are aware that Weather Alert Radios are on the "2007 Ineligible Planning Activities" list. It is our opinion that Weather Alert Radios should be considered eligible due to their very high benefit and very low cost. This project will reimburse 75% of the cost for citizens to purchase Weather Alert Radios, with the citizen responsible for the remaining 25 %. Weather Alert Radios provide the best means for citizens to receive emergency alerts when they are indoors. Severe weather is the primary hazard in our area. Early alert and warning has proven to be a significant factor in saving lives during severe weather events. In addition, the Weather Alert Radios can be activated for civil emergencies such as hazardous materials incidents. Effective warning saves lives, especially during severe weather events. Weather alert radios provide a proven means of indoor warning to citizens any time of the day or night and compose the vital indoor portion of our emergency warning system. Warning systems have been shown to have value beyond the initial warning. Persons receiving warning relay the information to family and friends to ensure they are aware of the hazard. The secondary and tertiary warning can greatly amplify the effectiveness of the warning system. Proposed guidelines for implementation of the project are as follows: • Reimbursement to citizens will be for no more than $30 or 75% of cost of the radio, whichever is less • Eligibility will be limited to residents of Kennedale • The citizen must sign an agreement to keep the radio operational • Each eligible homeowner can only receive one reimbursement, regardless of the number of radios purchased • Previously purchased radios will not be eligible for reimbursement NOTE: Final guidelines will be developed in accordance with grant requirements and applicable law at the time the project is funded. WILDFIRE Moderate Vulnerability - Kennedale has a significant amount of rural -urban interface that is subject to wildfires. Location - The areas of most concern are along Village Creels in the northwest portion of the City and the largely undeveloped southern part of the City. Access to fight wildfires is sometimes difficult due to thick trees and undergrowth, semi - swampy terrain, and lack of roads. Extent - The effects of wildfire are deaths, injuries, loss of structures, loss of wildlands, and loss of wildlife habitat. Previous Occurrences - Wildfires in Kennedale are typically associated with droughts. A number of wildfires occurred during the droughts from 1996 - 1998, 2000, and from 2005 - 2006. In December 2005 a wildfire destroyed several homes. October 24, 2008 Page 383 Probability of Future Events - Wildfires are likely to occur annually and increase in frequency and severity as the population continues to increase and formally rural areas are developed. Impact - Wildfires can result in the need for rapid evacuations, casualties, loss of homes and businesses, and loss of wildlife habitat and recreational areas. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Wildfire Mitigation Increase public education on how to reduce the risks Action #1 from wildfires construction, landscaping, etc. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2. Reduce the loss of life and property damage Estimated Cost resulting from severe weather events. Potential Funding Sources 2. c. Enhance public education concerning severe weather preparedness. Priority High Estimated Cost $1,000 Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • City Funds Potential Matching Funding • City Funds Sources Responsible Agency Kennedale Emergency Management Estimated Completion Time Frame Six Months Effect on New Buildings This action will reduce the effects of wildfire on new buildings through increased use of wildfire mitigation measures. Effect on Existing Buildings This action will reduce the effects of wildfire on existing buildings through increased use of wildfire mitigation measures. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — The cost of this project is low compared to the potential benefits of reducing the effects of wildfire. Discussion: Wildfire mitigation measures are not widely known in urban areas such as Kennedale. This action will increase that knowledge and reduce casualties and damages from wildfires. NOTE: All projects are subject to availability of federal and local funding as well as availability of local staff to administer the project. Kennedale Wildfire Mitigation Action #2 Enact building permit process that encourages wildfire resistant construction. Mitigation Goal /Objective 2. Reduce the loss of life and property damage resulting from severe weather events. Priority Medium Estimated Cost Undetermined Potential Funding Sources • Hazard Mitigation Grant Program • City Funds October 24, 2008 Page 384 Potential Matching Funding • City Funds Sources • Building Permit Fees Responsible Agency • Kennedale Planning & Zoning Department • Kennedale Emergency Management Estimated Completion Time Frame 9 Months Effect on New Buildings This action will reduce the vulnerability of new structure to wildfire. Effect on Existing Buildings This action will reduce the vulnerability of existing buildings to wildfire if they are remodeled to the extent a building permit is required. Cost Effectiveness Cost Effective — This action will integrate wildfire mitigation into the building process at minimal cost. Discussion: Integrating mitigation into building permitting provides a process to reduce vulnerability with few negative impacts. Existing Hazard Mitigation Efforts The City is currently making steps to lessen the impact of future flooding by enacting several codes. The first is to require concrete curbs and storm drains in any new residential subdivision. The next code is that the city requires any new development to have a drainage study done by an engineer to show water impact to the area.

Since the three lots in front of Wal -Mart are part of a development, Staff feels that the other two lots in this development should also be zoned C -0. During the negotiations between Arlington and Wal -Mart regarding the location of the Wal- Mart facility, the City of Kennedale's understanding was that the three lots located in front of Wal -Mart would be retail only. The desire for Retail only is to help with the financial funding by increasing sales tax revenue to the City. Actions by agents representing Wal- Mart in selling these two lots were not sensitive to those needs. Consequently the City is requesting a zone change of Lots 3 and 4 of the Southwest Crossing Addition to be re- zoned to C -0, in order to assist the City in financial planning. On December 18 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 to 0 to recommend approval of a City initiated zone change to Block 1, Lots 3 and 4 of the Southwest Crossing Addition to C -0 (Retail Commercial). Staff Recommends approval. .
