    On July 8, 2021, Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin hosted a public meeting in Lake Houston presented by Chris Mueller of Black & Veatch to discuss the Lake Houston Dam Spillway Improvement Project.

Phase 1 planning services were funded through a FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Award of $4,375,199 and include hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, geotechnical investigations, environmental field studies, permit applications, and engineering alternative evaluations. Key stakeholders identified include the City of Houston, Coastal Water Authority, Harris County Flood Control District, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with project benefits measured through a FEMA benefit-cost ratio exceeding 1.0 based on reduced water surface elevation, decreased building flooding, and lessened societal impacts.
