Chair Martin asked if the apartments to be built east of the airport would create any additional concerns. Mr. Wingate said the development would be required to have detention and the property would have to meet Harris County standards. Member Engelken recalled the City had conducted a land swap with Pasadena several years ago, on which a 100-acre detention pond would be developed. Mr. Wingate said Pasadena had received several million dollars in funding and wanted to relocate the drainage to the Red Bluff area.
