Request for approval to execute a Real Estate Application for DACW64-2-75-06 easement renewal from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, for HCFCD Unit U102-22-00 within the Addicks Reservoir Watershed (Precinct 4).

Background and Discussion:
This Agreement will allow the Flood Control District to use U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) right-of-way for maintenance activities. The Flood Control District has been granted easements along certain channels within the Addicks Reservoir, Barker Reservoir, and Buffalo Bayou watersheds. This easement renewal with USACE-Galveston will allow the Flood Control District to continue using 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 Flood Control District for access along a reach of channel referred to by the Flood Control District as U102-22-00 within the Barker Reservoir watershed.
Expected Impact:
The Flood Control District will receive a renewed easement agreement which allows for maintenance of the U102-22-00 channel.
Alternative Options:
The alternative 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.
