Update Harris County Commissioner's Court Action 6/27/2025 
Remaining  Flood-Bond Funds Going ​Only to Equity Projects

​
The Motion Commissioners voted 4:1 to use all available flood-bond funds:
“To fully fund all current and future needs for projects in Quartile One, according to the 2022 Prioritization Framework, and direct the Harris County Flood Control District to work with court officers and report to Commissioners Court a project schedule by September 18th, 2025, on all future projects with a recommendation.”

Impact of Cuts
Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey, the dissenting Republican, said, “It was like a bunker-busting bomb exploding yesterday. They blew up the 2018 bond program.” The decision will eliminate funding for 44 of the 48 bond projects that Ramsey had in his precinct.
“There’s no longer any money for them,” said Ramsey.
Ramsey will lose $424 million of flood-bond funding. He added, “Projects in the top quartile eat up every remaining available dollar in the bond. Every bit of it. There’s none left. Not a single dime.”
Want to see whether a project near you was killed? Here is a list of Flood-Bond Projects divided into Commissioner Rodney Ellis’ Equity Quartiles.
Only those marked with a #1 in the Quartile Column will be pursued at this point. The rest are effectively dead unless funding can be found elsewhere.

Cypress Creek Watershed (Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek) represent a population of more than 500,000 citizens.  Creation of a Cypress Creek Drainage Improvement District as a governmental entity enables our citizens to address issues focused specifically on Cypress Creek flooding mitigation.​​

OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of the Special District is to provide an entity to evaluate, recommend, and move forward
​much-needed action regarding ​Cypress Creek flood mitigation.

Our Vision

To serve the public as a governmental entity providing a unified voice in the Cypress Creek Watershed.

​

THE NEED

​​Fact Sheet​
Cypress Creek's needs were not adequately addressed in the 2018 Bond​. Solutions focused specifically on Cypress Creek Watershed are needed.
