The Houston Parks and Recreation Department HPARD recommends City Council approve an interlocal agreement ILA by and between City of Houston and the Gulfgate Redevelopment Authority and appropriate funds for the construction of improvements at seven 7 parks within Reinvestment Zone Number Eight, City of Houston the Gulfgate Zone. The Authority will be responsible for completing the projects in accordance with the scope of work for the improvements at each park as specified in the ILA.
If City Council approves, the ILA will grant the Authority a right-of-entry into the parks for construction of the projects. HPARD will contribute $200,000 for Charlton Park from the Parks Consolidated Construction Fund. HPARD will contribute an additional $1,010,000 from the Park and Recreation Dedication Fund as follows:
$350,000.00 for J.S. and L.H. Cullinan Park Project (park sector 7);

$450,000.00 for Sims Bayou Park Project (park sector 7); and

The Authority shall contribute a total of $3,115,000 under the ILA, which also includes improvements for F.M. Law Park and Reveille Park and shall be responsible for any cost overruns; provided that an increase to the Authority contribution in excess of $100,000 must be approved in writing by the Chief Development Officer.
