title

Request for approval of an interlocal agreement with Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 389 (HC MUD 389), to acquire the title to HC MUD 389 facilities to allow construction of additional improvements in connection with the Flood Control District’s Little Cypress Creek Frontier Program (Little Cypress Creek Watershed, Bond ID F-26, Project ID L100-00-00-E002, Agreement No. 2024-84, Precinct 3).

Background and Discussion:

This Interlocal Agreement will allow the HC MUD 389 to donate property to the Flood Control District to maintain and use for the future channel expansion of L100-00-00 as part of the Little Cypress Creek Frontier Program (LCCFP). The LCCFP has completed a Hydraulic and Hydrology drainage plan.  The drainage plan laid out a larger, deeper and wider proposed channel and multiple proposed basins.  This proposed channel and basins will bring all of the atlas 14 100-year floodplain within banks.  LCCFP is in the process of land acquisition.  This area is adjacent to existing Flood Control District Right-of-Way and within the proposed future L100-00-00 channel.  HC MUD 389 has agreed to donate the land to the Flood Control District for future use.  A few more tracts are required for the Flood Control District to have all the tracts in L100-00-00-E002.  Once these tracts are acquired this will allow the Flood Control District to do projects in this area when funding is available.

 

Expected Impact:

This will allow the Flood Control District to plan future projects in the area.

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be not acquire this land, which would result in decreasing the flood reduction benefits provided by Little Cypress Creek Frontier Program.
