A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO UNDERTAKE
A FLOOD-PLAIN INFORMATION REPORT ON HOLLIDAY CREEK AND WICHITA RIVER
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, under authority vested in
said City by the State of Texas, has responsibilities for the safety of life and
property of itt citizens from fire, flood, panic, and other things and events,
and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City to encourage optimum use of
lands in and adjacent to Wichita Falls, and
WHEREAS, the community needs a factual basis for reducing future flood
damages and hazards through carefully considered and well planned local regula-
tions and use of the flood-plain, including both guiding prospective land use and
preserving adequate floodway and channel rights-of-way and channel clearances; to
provide publicly available information for the guidance of private citizens and
interests on the use of flood-plains; and to minimize future public expenditures
and for alleviation of flood problems which would follow improper flood-plain
development, therefore increasing the amount of land available for use, and
WHEREAS, the area of Wichita River and Holliday Creek within the
planning area of the City, as shown on the attached map, is an area of hazard by
inundation of water, and due to the continued pressures of land needs for
residential, commercial, industrial, and recreation uses, which necessitates
flood damage prevention measures and plans and regulations for the use thereof;,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS
respectfully requests the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to undertake a study of
the prescribed area, pursuant to Section 206, Public Law 86-645, and to
investigate the intensity of flood and establish flood elevations along said
water course.
