Purpose and Request:
title
Authorization to negotiate an interlocal agreement with Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 576 for a partnership project to allow the District to purchase additional detention and retention volume in a proposed private detention basin for flood damage reduction purposes. (Addicks Reservoir Watershed, Bond ID F-56, Project ID U500-00-00-P001, Precinct 3).
end
Background and Discussion:
An evaluation of flooding in western Harris County, by Arcadis as part of the Feasibility Study of Upper Cypress Creek and Addicks Reservoir Shallow Storage Areas Project, indicates that additional retention and detention storage within the Cypress Creek Overflow will be beneficial to the reduction of flood damages. The District is interested in developing a public/private partnership that would allow the District to contribute public funds to expand a proposed private detention/retention stormwater detention basin in a small planned community. The developer and MUD are willing to partner with the District to construct the proposed detention/retention basin that will not only mitigate impacts from the new development, but also create additional flood damage reduction storage. This effort is envisioned as a pilot for future public and private partnerships.
