Planning <br /> Director Tim Tietjens responded with the Oakhurst project it took a considerable amount of flow that was near the east <br /> side of Shady River off the system and a good portion of flow what was coming down exclusively to the east tributary of <br /> Taylor Bayou is now going directly to the bay. <br /> Council member Martin questioned Senior Engineer Julian Garza if there was a timeline for involvement of Harris County <br /> Precinct Two and Harris County Flood Control District on the restriction at McCabe Road. Senior Engineer Julian Garza <br /> responded staff would move forward with engineering design alternatives in house at the same time work with Harris <br /> County Precinct Two and Harris County Flood Control District and see if there are opportunities of funding in the financial <br /> responsibility. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> January 16,2012 Drainage and Flooding Committee Minutes <br />
