SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Authorize the City to apply for an AZ SMART funds to develop storm drain improvements for Hacienda Estates. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) requires applicants for AZ SMART funds to have jurisdictional approval prior to submitting an application, thereby committing to a minimum 20% local match if the grant is awarded.

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Authorization for the City to apply for AZ SMART funds meets the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous, and Respected and Responsible by creating the opportunity to alleviate flooding in Hacienda Estates.
REPORT:
Hacienda Estates is a residential subdivision prone to flooding. This area has flooded repeatedly in the past causing significant property damage. The proposed project will alleviate the flooding of this residential neighborhood.
This project will significantly benefit the community by preventing flooding and property damage in the area and so increasing the safety and wellbeing of the community as well as increasing property values of this neighborhood. The project will also reduce flood insurance cost in the future resulting from reduced flood levels in the Hacienda Estates subdivision during the 100-year storm event.
In September 2024, the City of Yuma received notification from the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program that the Hacienda Estates Stormwater Improvement project has been identified for further review under the FY 2023 call for projects. The City is seeking financial assistance from ADOT for AZ SMART funding for a portion of the matching funds required for the FMA grant.
The AZ SMART Fund was established by the Arizona Legislature in 2022 to help cities, towns, counties and ADOT to compete more effectively at the national level for Federal Grants established in the 2021 Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA). AZ SMART Fund awards are limited to federal discretionary grants, which are awarded at the discretion of the federal agency and are not funded or distributed by formula or allocation.
The estimated total project cost is $5,280,000. A cost breakdown is as follows:
• $3,950,000 (FMA Grant)
• $480,000 (AZ SMART)
• $850,000 (City Road tax) (includes $120,000 for local match required for AZ SMART)
