title

Request for approval to execute an easement agreement (DACW64-2-24-0073) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Real Estate Outgrants for access to a channel referred to as HCFCD Unit U107-00-00 within the Addicks Reservoir Watershed (Precinct 4).

Background and Discussion:

This Interlocal Agreement will allow the Flood Control District to perform maintenance activities on channel U107-00-00 which is located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) property.

 

The Flood Control District has been granted easements along certain channels within the Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, and Buffalo Bayou watersheds. The Flood Control District requires an easement renewal with USACE-Galveston, allowing the Flood Control District to use the right-of-way for maintenance activities. The Flood Control District requests approval to apply for renewal of the easement agreement between the USACE-Galveston and the HCFCD for access along a reach of channel referred to by the District as U107-00-00 (DACW64-2-24-0073) within the Addicks Reservoir.

 

Expected Impact:

This agreement will allow the Flood Control District to receive a renewed easement agreement which allows for maintenance of the U107-00-00 channel.

 

Alternative Options:

The alternative to approving this item would be not to proceed with renewing the easement. The Flood Control District would not have property rights to perform maintenance activities along the channel, which would result in delayed maintenance and possible future damages.
