Request for approval of a new unit designated as C157-00-00 to be accepted as part of the Harris County Flood Control District's maintenance system, which is a channel system constructed by the City of Houston and coordinated by the Channel Ownership Program. (Sims Bayou Watershed, Project ID Z100-00-00-R007, Precinct 1).

Background and Discussion:
The Flood Control District's Channel Ownership Program team has coordinated with the City of Houston to accept the identified segment(s) of an open channel that was constructed and maintained by the City of Houston.

Alignment with Goal(s):
