Request for approval to sign a Real Estate Application for DACW64-2-74-53 easement renewal from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, for HCFCD Unit U101-20-00 within the Addicks Reservoir watershed. (Precinct 4).

Background and Discussion:
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 Flood Control District for access along a reach of channel referred to by the Flood Control District as U101-20-00 within the Addicks Reservoir.
Expected Impact:
The Flood Control District will receive a renewed easement agreement which allows for maintenance of the U101-20-00 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.
