Summary

The court approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Spring Branch to administer and enforce the city's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance with automatic annual renewals unless terminated by either party.

County staff explained that when Spring Branch first incorporated the county administered the city's flood damage prevention ordinance; the city now requests renewal of that arrangement with an automatic annual renewal provision unless either the county or the city terminates the agreement.

"...they're asking that this be renewed automatically each year unless either the county or the city ask for it to be terminated," a county staff member said while presenting the interlocal agreement. The agreement was presented as already approved by the city and the commissioners authorized the county judge to sign the interlocal agreement.

County staff framed the arrangement as a continuation of prior practice that helps ensure residents seeking floodplain permits within Spring Branch can access permitting and enforcement without reestablishing local enforcement capacity.
