Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement between the City of League City and the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD) for participation in the Water Conservation Education Program (Water Wise) for an amount not to exceed $11,324 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize an interlocal agreement that re-establishes participation in the Water Conservation Education program.

This program is part of the City’s water conservation outreach. It is primarily managed by The Harris-Galveston County Subsidence District. The Water Conservation Education program curriculum benefits approximately 25,000 school children each year. League City proposes to sponsor school(s) only within League City, city limits. The cost of the program is based upon a per student charge of $38.00 which covers all applicable student materials utilized by local elementary and intermediate classrooms within Clear Creek ISD school district for the 2022 - 2023 school year. In return the City receives a Series B Groundwater Credit of 84,000 gallons per student. Further detail below.
The main component of the curriculum is in the District’s Water Conservation Education Program and the materials provided to the students include a water detective kit that goes home with the student, printed student material, and teacher curriculum. Our contribution provides kits to 298 students each year. The Subsidence District works with all school districts in Harris, Galveston, and Fort Bend counties. The decision for which schools participate is up to the Subsidence District and the school district.
