Summary:

ORDINANCE approving and authorizing Interlocal Agreement between the City of Houston, Texas, and HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, relating to the Operation and Maintenance of Dwight D. Eisenhower Park - DISTRICT E - MARTIN

Background:

Dwight D. Eisenhower Park, located at 13400 Aqueduct Road, is a 682-acre park owned by the City of Houston.

 

County Commissioners and City Council approved an interlocal agreement in 1995 with a term of ten years for the development, operation and maintenance of the Park. The County developed the Park with amenities that include nature trails, picnic areas, a playground and a fishing pond. The original agreement was amended in 1997 to provide for a ten-year extension upon the expiration of the initial ten-year term, for a total term of 20 years.  The agreement expired in October 2015.

 

The proposed agreement authorizes the County to enter upon the Park and to use the Park to establish, provide, maintain, construct, and operate the Park and recreational facilities in the Park. The proposed agreement is for a term of 30 years.

 

Council approval is recommended.
