Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Houston, in the amount of $20,000,000, for pursuit of flood reduction solutions associated with the Dam for the Lake Houston Area (San Jacinto River Watershed, Bond ID CI-028, Project ID G103-00-00-P002, Agreement No. 2020-185, Precincts 1 and 3).
end
Background and Discussion:
This is a partnership project with the City of Houston in the lead. The Lake Houston Dam Spillway Improvement Project is a Localized Flood Risk Reduction Project along the San Jacinto River on Lake Houston. The Project will increase controlled flow releases from the reservoir behind the Dam during flood events to reduce the risk of localized flooding to residential and commercial communities immediately adjacent to and upstream of the Lake. Through an interlocal agreement previously entered into between City of Houston and Coastal Water Authority (CWA), CWA currently operates and maintains the Lake and the associated spillway/dam facilities.
Expected Impact:
This agreement will allow the Flood Control District to assist in the pursuit of flood risk reduction solutions associated with the Dam. The Flood Control District’s Contribution will be used to cover $20,000,000 of the Project costs. The City will be responsible for the remaining cost of Project Activities not reimbursed through the Grant Awards.
Alternative Options:
The alternative to approving this item would be not approve the Agreement, which would result in no benefits to the area.
