REQ~T FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA~EM Agenda Date Requested: August 26, 1996 Requested By: John Joerns Department: Administration Report Resolution X Ordinance Exhibits: 1. Ordinance to be Approved 4. Easement Document 5. Area Map SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On June 24, 1996, Council approved Ordinance 96-2113 authorizing an agreement between the City and Southern Pacific Transportation Company, which provided for an exchange of rights-of-way. As part of that agreement, Southern Pacific Transportation Company conveyed to the City two tracts of land (one as an easement) for future improvements to the F101-00-00 and one tract of land for future improvements to the F216-00-00 Harris County Flood Control Units (See Attached Area Map). H.C.F.C.D. is negotiating an interlocal agreement with TXDOT, which will result in excavation of the F101 channel and utilization of the excavated material for the State Highway 146/225 project. In order to complete the interlocal agreement, the City needs to dedicate the F101 tracts as easements to the "Public" for drainage and flood control purposes. The additional tract (F-216) is also being dedicated to the "Public" for drainage purposes even though there are no current construction plans. The proposed easements are attached to the Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance submitted. Action Required by Council: Consider approval of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute documents dedicating easements to the "Public" for drainage and flood control purposes. This will allow Harris County Flood Control District access and use.
