SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Harris County Precinct 2 has indicated a willingness to work with the City on the construction of
Canada Road, and contribute 50% of all eligible costs up to $1,750,000 toward the Project. For
Harris County to participate, the roadway must be temporarily transferred to the Harris County
Road Log. In addition, only the northern portion of Canada Road, from Spencer Highway to
Carlow Lane, is public right-of-way. The southern portion, from Carlow Lane to Fairmont
Parkway, is private and in the process of acquisition as a public right-of-way.
The attached resolution, if approved, transfers the northern portion to the Harris County Road
Log, and upon acquisition of right-of-way, transfers the southern portion to the Harris County
Road Log. The Resolution, once approved, will be forwarded to Harris County for final action
by Harris County Commissioner's Court. Once on the Road Log, the next step is approval of an
Interlocal Agreement'between the County and the City. A draft Agreement has been forwarded
to the County for review.
Upon completion of the Project, the entire length of Canada Road will be removed from the
County Road Log and returned to La Porte for ownership and maintenance.
Action Required bv Council: Consider approval of a resolution transferring Canada Road to
the Harris County Road Log.
