Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval for Harris County, a body corporate and politic of the State of Texas to convey real estate to CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC, for tracts Utility Easement 1 & Aerial Easement 1, a 0.3749-acres of land, collectively as two tracts, Utility & Aerial Easement for Detention Basin Enhancement Program - Goforth - 2021 project and that the County Judge execute the Utility & Aerial Easement, UPIN 21103N306330001, Precinct 3.
end
Background and Discussion:
The goal of the project is to maximize the detention volume prior to a significant rainfall event by pumping out the water thereby increasing the available volume in the Goforth Park Detention Basin.
Expected Impact:
The court action will grant CenterPoint Energy a utility and an aerial easement to construct a power line on Goforth Park property needed to provide power to the pump station. The pump station is meant to reduce the water surface in the detention basin in order to provide additional storage volume in an effort to alleviate flood risk in the watershed.
Alternative Options:
If CenterPoint Energy is not granted the easements to construct the power line, then the pump station would be forced to rely on an expensive and maintenance intensive diesel generator, which is not ideal.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
X Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
Prior Court Action (if any): None
