WHERSAS, City of Friendswood recognizes that Dickinson Bayou is a unique

the overall health, safety and welfare of their citizens and thus must take
the lead as stewards of flood plains in the Dickinson Bayou Watershed; and
that actions of upstream and downstream communities within the Dickinson
Bayou Watershed directly affect each other such that individual local goals
for flood protection and abatement, drainage, transportation, greenway
establishment and protection, waste management, conservation and development
can only be achieved through cooperative management of the Dickinson Bayou
Watershed; and,
WHEREAS, City of Friendswood has been cooperating and intends to continue
cooperating with the Dickinson Bayou Steering Committee, and with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) , other local, state and federal
entities in pursuit of common goals for the Dickinson Bayou Watershed; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Friendswood understands that adopting to this
resolution in no way obligates any party to implement any project
recommended from any planning studies, and that separate agreements may be
negotiated and executed in that regard;
