Background and Discussion:
Harris County and the City of Houston seek to enter into an interlocal agreement for Harris County Precinct 4 to maintain and operate seven (7) parks and all related appurtenances located within the City of Houston. The parks included in this agreement are Bonham Park, Cottage Grove Park, Jaycee Park, Kirkwood Greenspace, Reeves (Gail) Park, Waldemar Park, and a portion of the Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve.
