Town engineer Matt Holz told the council the work is primarily floodplain modeling and design for structural measures such as a drop structure or a box culvert; the package includes about $17,000 in FEMA review fees and will require FEMA modeling, a conditional letter of map revision, and possibly a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland permit. \"When I first got here, in October of '23, it was one of the first things that Jeff brought me out to, to look at that problem. We started monitoring it at that point, erosion had gotten close enough to the trail that the town took action to close the trail in order to safeguard the trail users,\" Holz said.

Why it matters: The trail is heavily used by walkers and bicyclists and connects to the town's larger trail network; council members said the trail serves the public beyond the immediate homeowners in the Falls Edition HOA. Councilors also raised concerns about precedent if the town uses taxpayer funds to repair infrastructure on HOA-owned land, and staff said the town holds a drainage easement over the open-space lots and retains an option to take the property under the original plat covenants.

Holz described the regulatory timeline: FEMA review of the town's model and conditional letter of map revision typically takes about four to six months after submission; the town hopes to qualify for a Corps nationwide permit to shorten wetlands permitting, but staff said some permitting could still be lengthy. He estimated it would be at least 12 months before construction could begin and said the basic structural design element of the project would likely be on the order of $120,000 within the contract scope.

Council debated recusal because one council member lives in the Falls and is an HOA member; that member volunteered to recuse from the vote. Council member Allen moved to approve the contract; Mayor Pro Tem Finch seconded. The motion passed 5-0 with Council member Eldridge recused and Council member Clark absent.

The contract directs Grantham and Associates to produce FEMA-compliant modeling, design alternatives, and supporting materials for permits and construction. Staff said the town will manage submittals to FEMA and the Corps and later return to council for construction authorization and any needed appropriations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sunnyvale - Town Council - Mar 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Sunnyvale Town Council voted 5-0 Monday to award a $235,820 contract to Grantham and Associates LLC for floodplain modeling and engineering design to stabilize erosion on Tributary 6 that is threatening the Falls Edition Trail.","taxTitle","Sunnyvale, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",69453,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634262,"Sunnyvale council approves interlocal agreement to share EMS overdose data with Dallas County",284,445000,729000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2756402-a7f77cc264c26db50424332866ec5bb6&start=445&end=729","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2756402-a7f77cc264c26db50424332866ec5bb6/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6634262/Sunnyvale/Dallas-County/Texas/Sunnyvale-council-approves-interlocal-agreement-to-share-EMS-overdose-data-with-Dallas-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634262-d9a0898cfc6d4a3cdfa24cb4a2ba96a5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186576&Signature=MWisuuZZj21pgTK6-CTabSf54MxB5rRhC3wKpXauH-uJxrtWi1d53clMqRqFgBDGO~NdKPmb~KP3Ojj4fuUWmNiB-lw-t7K8mnLGFCof6tBlVkq-Lqit4Yii2C3cjpw~7bOjxuU9XxplJ4V7iuZ83Clj7YtnduQ~CQplRwISNkoInHjHe~0JXVLBJKIr1Z5F2q0UZvbB9Du-ElHHLfXW6lE2bdxxjXGyg4yKFsvvolIV-BhrMd7HmWBoa7M8ytXJCdrFyAbIBspel~893zuZRtc-gU6BfPP3fNdVY69MHEbEgy7oFSD0vEhAQEHUu-zxV4aV4GAyKHDk9ymQY2DvLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sunnyvale Town Council on Monday approved a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement (ILA) with Dallas County to share emergency medical services data for public-health surveillance.

Chief Kaia, fire chief for the Sunnyvale Fire Department, told the council the agreement implements requirements of Senate Bill 1319 and will allow the county to receive de-identified EMS data on overdoses. \"It requires EMS agencies to report all overdoses, not just opioid, but any overdose to their local health authority,\" Chief Kaia said.

The nut of the item: Senate Bill 1319 created a mandatory reporting requirement for controlled-substance overdoses to a local health authority; Dallas County notified Sunnyvale in November that it was ready to receive data and the county asked EMS agencies to enter into ILAs to transmit data. Chief Kaia said the data transfer will be performed within Sunnyvale's existing electronic patient-care software, that town staff will do the programming, and that the transmitted data will be encrypted and de-identified.

Chief Kaia told the council the county had piloted receipt of the data with Dallas Fire and is now prepared to accept submissions from all EMS agencies in the county. He said the agreement is intended to help Dallas County detect public-health concerns, \"hopefully early in their occurrence so that they can take action to prevent them from becoming more widespread.\" He added the reports generated will be created internally and can be adjusted if new threats emerge.

Council discussion was brief and there were no public comments on the item. Council member Elliott moved to approve the ILA; Council member Allen seconded. The motion passed 6-0 with Council member Kalki absent.

The ILA does not require Sunnyvale to purchase new software, Chief Kaia said, and he said the data will only be used as permitted by law and the agreement. The council did not attach additional conditions to the resolution.","The Sunnyvale Town Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement that will allow the town's emergency medical services to send de-identified overdose data to Dallas County Health and Human Services to support public-health surveillance required by state law.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634251,"Council approves minutes from March 10 meeting",32,753000,785000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2756402-a7f77cc264c26db50424332866ec5bb6&start=753&end=785","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2756402-a7f77cc264c26db50424332866ec5bb6/thumbnail_753000.jpg","/articles/6634251/Sunnyvale/Dallas-County/Texas/Council-approves-minutes-from-March-10-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634251-3cac980e437cd3ce77ea172d36aa36ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186576&Signature=jiyw777md9Ai-ZuovBhMBTfzCffa7NOl0rY0KYnkhNhzNQUJprRPPqpNy2Xnt~ySj60Qh-pRjHT2tT9u76VVpqnKGNGszEIgrph2jTkHdBuMY~IAcXPcoh4652IdYJ177MNA-wh98rQ~5ay73m2B2lV2mMF3ZuKKkQSGBeKAt74awvTv4ah3lxCOByB8yyqgUtSUZm1JRA3y82vUXe6HC-jbncFWM7JRmTvJRwbzsNmwxdq9FCW80x6lyl2jTvDZFm~yuMwC3pUU-0ecNCLpR5SeaHJKRg5yiOCoKIoIPmEK1DT~-TPrA3AscwQEROpczl7-fMylIZrWivKUVdti0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sunnyvale Town Council approved minutes from its March 10 meeting as part of the consent agenda on Monday.
