PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this the 24th day of October A.D., 2005. 0Q-.4 TOM REID MAYOR ATTEST: UNG F RI TY S RETARY APPROVED AS TO FORM: DARRIN M. COKER CITY ATTORNEY �'irYRi�Rz� FERIAM1 C 4 ,D„., EXHIBIT COOPERATING TECHNICAL PARTNERS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT AGREEMENT is made on October 24, 2005, by these parties: the City of Pearland, Texas, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA). BECAUSE the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP) established by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 has several purposes, the most significant being • To better indemnify individuals from losses through the availability of flood insurance; • To reduce future flood damages through community floodplain management regulations; and • To reduce costs for disaster assistance and flood control; BECAUSE a critical component of the NFIP is the identification and mapping of the nation's floodplains to create a broad-based awareness of flood hazards and to provide the data necessary for community floodplain management programs and to actuarially rate flood insurance; BECAUSE FEMA administers the NFIP and is authorized by §1360 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4101), to establish and update flood-risk zone data in floodplain areas; BECAUSE, in the identification of floodprone areas, FEMA is authorized to consult with, receive information from, and enter into agreements or other arrangements with the head of any State, regional, or local agency; BECAUSE FEMA encourages strong Federal, State, regional, and local partnerships for the purposes of reducing flood losses and disaster assistance;FEMA and its State, regional, and local partners have determined that it is advantageous to encourage and formalize greater cooperation in the flood hazard identification and mapping processes; and many communities and the agencies that serve them have developed considerable technical capabilities and resources that provide the opportunity to improve and expand the collection, development, and evaluation of flood hazard data; and BECAUSE the City of Pearland participates in the NFIP (or shares flood protection and/or floodplain management responsibilities with communities that participate in the 1VFIP), the City of Pearland has been deemed by FEMA to be in good standing in the NFIP; and BECAUSE the City of Pearland has expressed a desire to perform certain functions in the flood hazard identification process and has provided evidence that it has sufficient technical capability and will dedicate the resources necessary to perform those functions. CTP Partnership Agreement 1 October 2005 City of Pearland,Texas NOW THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed that the parties enter into this Agreement to work together to create and maintain accurate, up-to-date flood hazard data for the City of Pearland subject to the terms and conditions recited below. 1. CONSULTATIONS The parties shall collaborate on flood hazard identification activities and shall consult with each other to fully integrate each other's contributions into flood hazard identification efforts. Questions regarding the execution of this Agreement will be resolved by an implementation committee consisting of a FEMA representative and a City of Pearland representative. In states where statutory and/or regulatory requirements require State review and/or approval of new flood hazard data, a State representative also will serve on the implementation committee as appropriate. If the implementation committee is unable to resolve technical issues, the issues may be resolved through alternative dispute resolution procedures. 2. EVALUATION AND REPORTING The parties shall, on an annual basis, review the partnership created by this Agreement to determine and document the activities undertaken to maintain accurate flood hazard data and to revise the Agreement as necessary. 3. RESOURCE COMMITMENT The parties agree to commit the appropriate and available human, technical, and financial resources sufficient to coordinate effectively with all entities impacted by flood hazard identification efforts to implement this Agreement. 4. STANDARDS Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all flood hazard identification activities will be accomplished in accordance with the standards documented in Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, dated April 2003, and all subsequent revisions. 5. SPECIFIC INITIATIVES OR PROJECTS Specific initiatives or projects to be performed under this Agreement are to be documented in Mapping Activity Statement(s), which will be attached to this Agreement when they are signed. The parties will be obligated to perform as described in the signed Mapping Activity Statement(s). 6. TERM The respective duties, responsibilities, and commitments of the parties in this Agreement shall begin on the date this Agreement is signed by the parties and may be periodically renewed, revised, or terminated at the option of any of the parties.

Partners. Cooperating Technical Partners Draft Guidance Document Fiscal Year 2005 (Please check the FEMA website at http://www.fcma.gov/{lu»/ctp tuid.shthn for updated versions of this document) There are several beneficial reasons for partnering with State,local, and regional organizations to produce National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)maps: o The data used for local permitting and planning will also be the basis for the NFIP map, facilitating more efficient floodplain management. o The CTP Program provides the opportunity to interject a tailored,local focus into a national program; thus,where unique conditions may exist the special approaches to flood hazard identification that may be necessary can be taken. o The partnership mechanism provides the opportunity to pool resources and extend the productivity of limited public funds. o For participating in the CTP Program, community Partners will receive Community Rating System credits,which may lead to discounted flood insurance premiums for property owners. (Additional information on the Community Rating System is available on the FEMA website athttp:www.fenia.gov:nfip/crs.shtm. In support of the CTP Program, FEMA has committed to the following: o Recognize the contributions made by FEMA's State,regional, and local Partners by providing timely and accurate flood hazard information. o Maximize the use of Partners' contributions as a means of leveraging limited public funds to the fullest extent while maintaining essential NFIP standards. o Fully integrate Partners into the flood hazard data development process with the corresponding authorities and responsibilities. o Provide training and technical assistance to the Partners when appropriate. o Facilitate mentoring to increase capability for both existing and Potential Patlners. CT cooperating ' • Technical" • Par tnets• Administration FEMA and its Partners will administer activities under the CTP Program through close and frequent coordination. There are four formal agreements involved—Partnership Agreements, Mapping Activity Statements, Letter of Map Change(LOMC) Mapping Activity Statement and Cooperative Agreements. Each Partner will enter into a Partnership Agreement with the appropriate FEMA Regional Office. The Partnership Agreement is a broad statement of principle, emphasizing the value of the NFIP's three components of insurance, floodplain management, and mapping. The Partnership Agreement recognizes the fundamental importance of flood hazard identification • in the successful reduction of future flood losses and the Partner's commitment to the effort. The Partnership Agreement is a prerequisite to any further activities under the CTP Program. The Partnership Agreement template may be viewed or downloaded from the FEMA website at h.ttp:/f vcvw.ferna.gov/flun/dl inoa.slitin. As the Partner and FEMA identify specific tasks to undertake,Mapping Activity Statements (MASs)will be developed to define the project scope and the roles and responsibilities of all Partners involved in a particular Flood Map Project. Developing the MASs will be a collaborative effort where both the Partner(s) and FEMA contribute data and units of work to maximize the extent, accuracy, and usability of flood hazard studies to best meet local, State, and Federal needs,while minimizing costs for all parties. The MAS is a key component of the Cooperative Agreement package because it defines the activities that will be accomplished,the entity responsible for them,how the activities will be funded,and the nature of the working relationship between FEMA and its Partners.The MAS template may be viewed or downloaded from the FEMA website at httpl:Www.ferna.gov/llunkll atemp.shtm. Partners that participate in the long-term map maintenance of Digital FIRMS can sign the LOMC MAS agreement This agreement allows a partner to take ownership of the LOMC process. Developing the LOMC MAS will be a collaborative effort between the Partner(s) and FEMA. Partners should develop a MAS that addresses goals and performance measures. These MASs should have a strong linkage to FEMA's Regional and National goals and performance , measures,as described below. The Key Performance Parameter(KPP)measures the percentage of the Nation's population whose safety is improved through the availability of accurate flood risk data in a Geographic Information System (GIS)format. Four Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) contribute to this KPP: o KPI 1 Percentage of population with digital GIS flood data available online o KPI 2 Percentage of population with adopted maps that meet quality standards o KPI 3 Leveraged digital GIS flood data o KPI 4 Percentage of appropriated funds sent to CTPs. Guidance Document for FY 2005 2 September 2004 C ;P Cooperating. ": Technical Partners.. For projects that meet eligibility requirements, FEMA may award funds through the mechanism of a Cooperative Agreement. The Cooperative Agreement provides for the disbursement of Federal funds and defines the legal responsibilities associated with it. A Cooperative Agreement is not required for locally funded mapping activities. Activities FEMA may provide technical assistance,training,and/or data to a Partner to support flood hazard data development activities. As funding levels permit,the mapping activities for which Partners may receive funding in fiscal year 2005 through a Cooperative Agreement with FEMA are summarized in Table 2. The Cooperative Agreements awarded for mapping activities under the CTP Program are intended to supplement,not supplant, ongoing mapping efforts by a Partner,whether it be a community/tribal government,regional agency, or State agency. The FEMA funds would be in addition to the resources provided by the Partner for the mapping activities. Guidance Document for FY 2005 3 September 2004 CST Cochnicoperaalting. Te Partners Table 2.

Digital Base Map Data Community The Partner supplies base map data for use in Sharing Regional Agency producing a DFIRM. The base map must State Agency comply with FEMA minimum accuracy requirements and be distributable by FEMA to the public in hardcopy and electronic formats. DFIRM Maintenance The Partner assumes responsibility for long- term,periodic maintenance of the DFIRM. This can include base map and/or flood hazard information, as well as assuming ownership of the LOMC process. Hydrologic and The Partner reviews hydrologic and hydraulic Hydraulic Review studies prepared for FEMA-funded flood data updates and/or map revisions processed under Part 65 of the NFIP regulations. The review focuses on compliance with the technical and regulatory requirements contained in Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners,the pertinent NFIP regulations, as well as standard accepted engineering practices. Assessment of The Partner performs a detailed Community Mapping community-by-community assessment of Needs (to support mapping needs for every mapped(including FEMA's Mapping flood data updates and map maintenance)and Needs Update Support unmapped NFIP community within its System)) jurisdiction. The Partner then submits the results of the assessment to FEMA for inclusion in the Mapping Needs Update Support System database. Technical Standards The Partner works with FEMA to adopt specific Agreement technical standards or processes appropriate for local conditions for NFIP flood mapping purposes. Guidance Document for FY 2005 5 September 2004 cooneraffng• '• Technical, Partners' Eligibility Criteria Partnerships are established based on the following criteria: o The Potential Partner must have existing processes and/or systems in place to support mapping or data collection activities that contribute to flood hazard identification. Non- Federal funding must support these processes and/or systems. o The Potential Partner must have the capability to perform,implement, or contract the mapping activities for which it is applying. This capability may be indicated through(but not limited to)a FEMA Regional Office review of both the map products previously prepared by the Partner and the existing map production processes or systems the Partner intends to use for CTP Program-related mapping activities. o The Potential Partner must be a community that participates in the NFIP and is in good standing in the Program as determined by the FEMA Regional Office,or be a State or regional agency that serves communities that participate in the NFIP. o The'Potential Partner should demonstrate its ability to leverage funding received from FEMA. The National Goal for leverage is 20%. However,the more funding a Partner is able to leverage improves their probability of increases in funding from FEMA for current and future mapping activities. Partners that receive funding from FEMA through a Cooperative Agreement must be able to perform the financial management activities required as part of the Cooperative Agreement(i.e., account for Federal funds,prepare financial reports). At a minimum,FEMA requires that a financial status report be provided quarterly at a minimum. To assist partners with meeting this requirement, FEMA has created a recommended template for their use,and it should be submitted to your FEMA Regional CTP Coordinator. FEMA Regional Offices will assist Partners with these financial management activities as necessary. FEMA will evaluate these criteria periodically,and the criteria may be enhanced further in the future. Technical Capabilities In addition to the eligibility criteria described above,a Potential Partner must have in-house staff capabilities in the appropriate technical area for the given mapping activity. If the work for any portion of a mapping activity is contracted,the Potential Partner must have in-house staff capable of monitoring the contractor(s) and approving the products developed by the contractor(s). For these purposes,"capability"means demonstrated experience in the performance of,or management through contracting of, similar activities. Evaluation Criteria Throughout the project and at the end of the period of performance for each MAS, FEMA will evaluate the effectiveness of the partnership to determine eligibility for future mapping activities under the CTP Program. If FEMA determines that the partnership has proven insufficient to Guidance Document for FY 2005 6 September 2004 eT conperaUng Technical • a Partners, complete the established project or achieve the goals of the partnership, r'EMA's funding of the . mapping activity may be cancelled. FEMA will base its evaluation of the Partner's demonstrated performance on the following criteria: ❑ Continued maintenance of the processes or systems in place to support mapping or data collection activities that contribute to flood hazard identification(e.g., continued data collection for changing flood hazards and related development, continued upgrades to data collection or mapping capabilities to incorporate new technologies,preparation of multiple-year mapping or data collection plans); o Commitment to existing,and continued support of, flood hazard identification and. mapping activities conducted with and by FEMA; ❑ Adherence to standards for timeliness and completeness of reports submitted to the FEMA Regional Office; ❑ Adherence to standards for timeliness and completeness of map products submitted to.the FEMA Regional Office; o Quality of product(s) submitted to the FEMA Regional Office; and ❑ Ability to cooperate and coordinate with the staff of the following organizations during all phases of the mapping activity as needed: FEMA Regional Office; Hazard Identification Section of the Mitigation Division in the FEMA Headquarters Office in Washington,DC; and designated FEMA contractors. Standards Unless otherwise indicated in specific MASs, all flood hazard identification activities will be accomplished in accordance with the relevant portions of the NFIP regulations (44CFR Parts 59- 77)as well as the standards contained in FEMA's Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners,which can be downloaded from the FEMA website at http /www.fema.rov!fhm/dl cgs. htm. With the development of new and improved technology, FEMA has established new standard tools to assist mapping partners in their efforts. For partners with existing systems and technologies,please refer to Appendix N of the Guidelines and Specifications for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, for acceptable data capture standards. Certification All data generated under MASs must meet the applicable certification requirements for the identification and publication of flood hazard information in FIRM form as indicated in 44 CFR Part 65,Identification.and Mapping of Special Hazard Areas. Some States have adopted more stringent mapping standards than the minimum NFIP regulatory requirements. For these cases, Partners must coordinate all activities with the State to ensure the MASs are reviewed and concurred upon, and all map products resulting from a CTP Program-related mapping activity must meet State certification requirements. Guidance Document for FY 2005 7 September 2004 CST Cooperating • Technical Partners State Role The role filled by a State will be a function of its authority and capabilities. Some States have developed Map Modernization Management Support business plans,which explain in detail their capability and capacity to manage Map Modernization in their state. These plans also include an explanation of the State's role in the CTP Program. Some states also review map revisions as part of their regulatory responsibilities. As with the options available to communities and regional agencies,interested State agencies will be expected to have in-house staff capabilities.to fulfill the CTP Program-related mapping activity it would like to perform. State agencies that do not participate in the CTP Program will continue the traditional functions of the State Coordinating Office as they relate to any activities performed by participating Partners in that state. In general,the activities that a State agency might perform are the same as those identified for communities,with the addition of collection and assessment of community mapping needs and a base map inventory. Funding CTP Program-related activities may be funded based on FEMA's priority of mapping needs the availability of FEMA funds for mapping, and the amount of leverage provided by the CTP Partner. If FEMA funds are provided,the Partner may receive funds through a Cooperative Agreement. Because the FEMA mapping budget varies annually,the amount of funding for CTP Program-related activities also will vary. Each FEMA Regional Office will determine how much of its annual mapping budget will be allocated to mapping activities under the CTP Program. Typically,the funding for CTP Program-related Flood Map Projects is allocated through one Cooperative Agreement once the MAS is signed. However, for large or complex projects, extensive planning may need to be performed before the MAS is developed. For such projects, the Cooperative Agreement may be processed in a phased approach. Use of the phased approach will alleviate the need for extensions of performance periods and project revisions and improve overall efficiency through the development of a thorough project scope. In such instances,the FEMA Regional Office may allocate up to 10 percent of the total estimated funding for the project to the Partner to develop a project scope and MAS. Once the MAS is signed and in place,the Partner may then request the remaining funding required for completing the project. Contracting Contractors used by Partners for FEMA-funded activities must meet the requirements of Part 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 13),Uniform administrative requirements for grants and cooperative agreements to state and local governments. Within Part 13, §13.36 covers procurement standards that must be followed for any mapping-related activities for which a Partner wishes to contract with another party. Items in this Part include,but are not limited to, contract administration and record keeping,notification requirements,review procedures, competition,methods of procurement, and cost and pricing analysis. Part 13 may be downloaded in PDF or text format from the U.S. Government Printing Office website at http://www.access.gpo.gov/naralcfr/waisidx_02/44cfr 13_02.html. If requested by the Partner,FEMA will provide assistance to a Partner on developing selection criteria for contracted tasks. All work must meet the certification requirements described below. Guidance Document for FY 2005 8 September 2004 eycooperating Technical o Partners -Cooperative Agreement Management FEMA-funded activities must meet the requirements of 44 CFR Part 13,which sets forth requirements for Cooperative Agreement administration and management. These requirements include,but are not limited to,record keeping, allowable costs, and processes for use of contractors. Part 13 may be downloaded from the U.S. Government Printing Office website.at http://www.access.gpo.govinara/cfriwaisidx_02/44cfr13_02.html. Additional FEMA Assistance FEMA offers an array of technical and programmatic assistance to Partners participating in the CTP Program, free of charge,including the resources listed below. o Archived support data will be available from FEMA's National Service Provider. Available information includes: ➢ Copies of FEMA-issued Letters of Map Change(i.e., Letters of Map Amendment, Letters of Map Revision); ➢ Engineering and mapping Flood Insurance Study backup data; ➢ Data collected as part of the FEMA Mapping Needs Assessment Process; and ➢ FEMA's rule-based engineering software packages,including CHECK-2, CHECK- RAS, FISPLOT, and RASPLOT. o FEMA plans to introduce four training courses that have been developed specifically with the CTP Program in mind. They include an introductory course titled"Cooperating Technical Partners Overview,"an intermediate course titled"Cooperating Technical Partners Floodplain Mapping Overview,"an advanced technical GIS course titled "Advanced Cooperating Technical Partners Course(E241),"and a GIS course titled "DFIRM 101 -Getting Started with GIS Hazards Data." ➢ The "Cooperating Technical Partners Overview"course is designed for new and potential CTPs and explains the basics of the CTP Program. It provides overview information on Map Modernization(Map Mod),the CTP Program,the Community Rating System Program and how it relates to CTP,support available to CTPs, regulatory requirements, standards and performance reviews,managing Federal funding through a Cooperative Agreement, and the map production process. ➢ The intermediate course, "Cooperating Technical Partners Floodplain Mapping Overview,"is for CTPs that have signed or soon will sign a Mapping Activity Statement(MAS) and are preparing to participate in the development or update of a flood study. The course includes more in-depth information than the introductory course and reviews the following topics: overview of the CTP Program and Map Mod,Mapping Needs Assessments, scoping,project outreach,the MAS,base maps and digital mapping, and map production and processing requirements. ➢ Both the introductory and intermediate courses involve lectures and activities taking place over two days. The courses will be delivered regionally,with the frequency, dates, and locations driven by interest.
