title
Transmittal by the Flood Control District of the executed amendment to the agreement with the Texas General Land Office (GLO), to approve seven additional projects for the CDBG-MIT Program (GLO Contract No. 24-064-000-E151).
end
Background and Discussion:
On June 6, 2023, Commissioners Court approved a list of potential CDBG-MIT projects under direct allocation to the Flood Control District. This approval authorized the Flood Control District to begin working on project applications for the approved project list. Upon application approvals by the Texas General Land Office, the projects are required to be formally added to the CDBG-MIT contract. Amendment number 1 of the Agreement added four of the eighteen MIT projects that were reviewed and approved by the Texas General Land Office. This first Amendment also added $4,320,000 to the CDBG-MIT program award. This Amendment was approved by Commissioners Court on October 16, 2025. This transmittal is for the Second Amendment to the Agreement, which will add the following seven projects to the contract: Taylor Gully CCI and Woodridge Stormwater Detention Basin, Channel Conveyance Improvements and Stormwater Detention Basin on P118-08, Cypress Creek Channel Rehabilitation and Stormwater Detention Basin, Main Stem, Batch 5; Channel Conveyance Improvements and Stormwater Detention Basins on P118-23-00; Halls Bayou Channel Conveyance Improvements Downstream of Hopper; Boudreaux Stormwater Detention Basin Phase 1; and Hahl North Stormwater Detention Basin. This amendment to the CDBG-MIT Contract (24-064-000-E151), will add seven additional projects to the contract.
Expected Impact:
With the approval of these seven additional projects, the Flood Control District can now seek reimbursement on expenditures related to the CDBG-MIT program for these projects, as it relates to design, environmental, and grant administration activities.
Alternative Options:
The alternative is to not amend the contract and lose opportunities to seek reimbursement or meet spending milestones.
