Request for approval of amendment No. 1 to an interlocal hike and bike trail agreement with Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 304 for construction and maintenance of an additional public hike and bike trail along HCFCD Unit P145-00-00 (Greens Bayou Watershed, Agreement No. 1221, Precinct 1).

Background and Discussion:

This Interlocal Agreement has been approved in the past.  Request for approval of an amendment to Interlocal Agreement No. 1221 with Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 304 (HCMUD No. 304) to construct and maintain an additional public hike and bike trail along HCFCD Unit P145-00-00, with a trail length of approximately 1,450 feet.  This amendment will allow HCMUD No. 304 to extend its hike and bike trail on District right-of-way, creating additional recreational amenities that enhance community connectivity and outdoor access

 

Expected Impact:

By entering into this amended agreement, HCMUD No. 304 will continue to assume full responsibility for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the trail, minimizing long-term costs and obligations for HCFCD.  This agreement ensures the trail complies with environmental standards while preserving the functionality of the right-of-way for flood control purposes.

 

 

Alternative Options:

If this interlocal agreement is not amended and executed, HCMUD No. 304 will not be able to design and construct an extension of their existing trail for use by the public.
