	Flooding of the Mississippi River was only part of the problem. The [[BEE BRANCH]] on the city's North End caused flooding from the earliest history of the city. Between 1999 and 2016 flooding of a 6.5-square-mile area in the basin of the Bee Branch caused an estimated $70 million in damage and led to six presidential disaster declarations. In 2016 the area was the focus of a $219 million flood-mitigation effort and in June city council members approved a plan to help homeowners in the affected area. About $8.4 million of a $31.5 million grant was approved to be used to help 320 property owners make repairs from the 2011 flood. (7)		Flooding of the Mississippi River was only part of the problem.
