Request for approval to purchase a certain tract for a negotiated price for the Harris County Flood Control District for the public project known as Keegans Stormwater Detention Basin Phase 3 - D518-03-00-E004, tract D118-00-00-04-006.0, for $3,597,424.00 which is $250,000.00 over the appraised value, Precinct 4.

Stormwater detention basins hold extra rainwater during heavy storms, which helps reduce flooding in nearby neighborhoods. This land purchase is part of Phase 3 of the Keegans basin project, a flood control effort in Precinct 4 led by the Harris County Flood Control District.

Commissioners Court is voting on whether to approve paying $3,597,424 for a specific tract of land tied to the Keegans Stormwater Detention Basin, Phase 3. The purchase price is higher than the appraised value, which is why it needs formal court approval. This type of vote is called a financial authorization.
