Public Comment during the Commission Meeting may be for all matters, both on and off the agenda, and be limited to four

the Commission meeting. Members of the public are reminded that the Brazos County Commissioners Court is a Constitutional
Court, with both judicial and legislative powers, created under Article V, Section 1 and Section 18 of the Texas Constitution. As a
Constitutional Court, the Brazos County Commissioners Court also possesses the power to issue a Contempt of Court Citation
under Section 81.024 of the Texas Local Government Code. Accordingly, members of the public in attendance at any Regular,
Special and/or Emergency meeting of the Court shall conduct themselves with proper respect and decorum in speaking to,
and/or addressing the Court; in participating in public discussions before the Court; and in all actions in the presence of the
Court. Those members of the public who are inappropriately attired and/or who do not conduct themselves in an orderly and
appropriate manner will be ordered to leave the meeting. Refusal to abide by the Court's Order and/or continued disruption of
the meeting may result in a Contempt of Court Citation.
It is not the intention of the Brazos County Commissioners Court to provide a public forum for the demeaning of any individual or
group. Neither is it the intention of the Court to allow a member (or members) of the public to insult the honesty and/or integrity
of the Court, as a body, or any member or members of the Court, or County employees, individually or collectively. Accordingly,
profane, insulting or threatening language directed toward the Court and/or any person in the Court's presence and/or racial,
ethnic or gender slurs or epithets will not be tolerated. Violation of these rules may result in the following sanctions:
1. cancellation of a speaker's time;
2. removal from the Commissioners Court;
3. a Contempt Citation; and/or
4. such other and/or criminal sanctions as may be authorized
under the Constitution, Statutes and Codes of the State of Texas.
The County Commissioners Court can deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an agenda properly posted
prior to the meeting. During the public comment period, speakers may address matters not listed on the published agenda. The
Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by the Commissioners Court. However, responses
from the County Judge or Commissioners to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a matter without
notice to the public. To ensure the public has notice of all matters the Commissioners Court will consider, the County Judge
and/or Commissioners may choose not to respond to public comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, recite existing
policy in response to an inquiry or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. See Texas Open Meetings Act Section
551.042.
INVOCATION
Any invocation that may be offered before the official start of the Court meeting shall be to and for the benefit of the Court. The
views or beliefs expressed by the invocation speaker have not been previously reviewed or approved by the Court and do not
necessarily represent the religious beliefs or views of the Court in part or as a whole. No member of the community is required to
attend or participate in the invocation and such decision will have no impact on their right to actively participate in the business
of the Court.

FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE
ARTICLE I
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE AND METHODS
SECTION A. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
The Legislature of the State of Texas has in the Flood Control Insurance Act, Texas Water Code,
Section 16.315, delegated the responsibility of local governmental units to adopt regulations
designed to minimize flood losses. Therefore, the Commissioners Court of Brazos County, Texas
does ordain as follows:
SECTION B. FINDINGS OF FACT
(1) The flood hazard areas of Brazos County are subject to periodic inundation, which results
in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental
services, and extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which
adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
(2) These flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains
which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard
areas by uses (structures) vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are
inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
SECTION C. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to
minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions
designed to:
(1) Protect human life and health;
(2) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
(3) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(4) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric,
telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in floodplains;
(6) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood -
prone areas in such a manner. as to minimize future flood blight areas; and
(7) Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
Vol. aaq Pg.�
SECTION D. APPROVAL REQUIRED PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT
Approval of Brazos County is required prior to conducting development, unless excluded or
exempted under State law or as exempted herein.
SECTION E. METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES
In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance uses the following methods;
(1) Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flood,
or cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be
protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
(3) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective
barriers, which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood
damage;
(5) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood
waters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.

associated structures, such as closure and drainage devices, which are constructed and operated
in accordance with sound engineering practices.
LOWEST FLOOR - means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement).
An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking or vehicles, building access
or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor;

of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land
preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets
and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for basement, footings, piers or foundations or
the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory
buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main

floodplain must be elevated above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Non-residential buildings
may be elevated or floodproofed.
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE - means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the
cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent
of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT - means any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or
other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market
value of the structure before "start of construction" of the improvement. This term includes
structures which have incurred "substantial damage", regardless of the actual repair work
performed. The term does not, however, include either: (1) Any project for improvement of a
structure to correct existing violations of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code
specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are
the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions or (2) Any alteration of a "historic
structure", provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a
"historic structure."
VARIANCE - means a grant of relief by a community from the terms of a floodplain
management regulation. (For full requirements see Section 60.6 of the National Flood Insurance
Program regulations.)

anchoring requirements for "manufactured homes" in paragraph (4) of this section.
A recreational vehicle is ready for highway use if it is on its wheels or jacking system, is
attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and
has no permanently attached additions.
SECTION C. STANDARDS FOR SUBDMSION PROPOSALS
(1) All subdivision proposals including the placement of manufactured home parks and
subdivisions shall be consistent with Article 1, Sections B, C, and D of this ordinance.

E
ac
� �g.�
property, and must be indicated on the subdivision plat. If all floodplain is contained
within a drainage easement, a benchmark is not required.
SECTION D. STANDARDS FOR AREAS OF SHALLOW FLOODING (AO/AH
ZONES)
Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, Section B, are areas
designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated with flood
depths of 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist, where the path of flooding is
unpredictable, and where velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by
ponding or sheet flow; therefore, the following provisions apply:
(1) All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures have the
lowest floor (including basement) elevated 2 feet above the base flood elevation, or
the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the
community's FIRM (at least 2 feet if no depth number is specified).
(2) All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures;
(a) have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated 2 feet above the base flood
elevation or the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified
in feet on the community's FIRM (at least 2 feet if no depth number is specified),
(b) together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be designed so that below the
base specified flood depth in an AO Zone, or below the Base Flood Elevation in an
AH Zone, level the Structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the
passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting
hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads of effects of buoyancy.
(3) A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification to the
Floodplain Administrator that the standards of this Section, as proposed in Article 4, Section C
are satisfied.
(4) Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes,
to guide flood waters around and away from proposed structures.
SECTION E. FLOODWAYS
Floodways - Iocated within areas of special flood hazard established in Article 3, Section B, are
areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the
velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the
following provisions shall apply:
(1) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway unless
it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in
accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would
not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence
of the base flood discharge.
Vol. 0�-_ Pg.�
(2) If Article 5, Section E (1) above is satisfied, all new construction and substantial
improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of
Article 5.
(3) Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the National Flood
Insurance Program Regulation&, a community may permit encroachments within the
adopted regulatory floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations,
provided that the community first completes all of the provisions required by Section
65.12.
SECTION F. SEVERABILITY
If any section, clause, sentence, or phrase of this Ordinance is held to be invalid or
unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, then said holding shall in no way affect
the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
SECTION G. PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLIANCE
