Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of an interlocal agreement with Houston-Galveston Area Council, in the amount of $72,900, in support of cost sharing data from DataAxle and H-GAC 2026 ortho rectified aerial images, and continued updates to STAR*Map (Agreement No. 2025-40, Countywide).
end
Background and Discussion:
This Interlocal Agreement will allow the Flood Control District to cost share data with H-GAC for data from DataAxle, 2026 ortho rectified aerial images of Harris County and the adjacent counties, and STAR *Map data updated by H-GAC with data provided by Centerpoint. The data from DataAxle will provide information to the Flood Control District about businesses and residents within the County, such as the number of employees, languages spoken, etc. The aerial imagery will provide the Flood Control District with a color balanced ortho image of Harris County and the adjacent counties which can be used to identify land use changes, potential impacts to possible projects, and for exhibits requiring an aerial basemap. The STAR*Map data will allow the Flood Control District to continue to receive transportation data in the H-GAC area. This data provides an accurate road map that can be used as a location reference and as a source that the Flood Control District can use with its GIS software to map road centerlines and the location of addresses.
Expected Impact:
This agreement will allow the Flood Control District to have access to current data for the purposes of both mapping and analysis.
Alternative Options:
The alternative to approving this item would be to bear the total cost for similar items on its own, which would result in an increased financial cost to the Flood Control District.
