With the winds and rains of Hurricane Harvey firmly in the region’s rearview mirror, Lake Houston area officials, residents and business owners are beginning the recovery process while attempting to mitigate damage during future flooding events.

The cities of Houston and Humble and Harris and Mont-gomery counties are brainstorming potential solutions and assisting with cleanup efforts after the storm caused flooding in hundreds of Lake Houston area homes and businesses and more than $50 million in damage to local schools and colleges.

The rebuilding process for the Lake Houston area will be arduous, Houston City Council Member Dave Martin said.

"I remember Katrina—I’m from New Orleans," Martin said. "I remember like it was yesterday my dad looking at me in the face and saying ‘David I’m 75 years old. Most of my life has already been lived. What do you mean rebuild?' "My biggest fear is a lot of people giving up."

State and local officials are also calling for an investiga-tion into the San Jacinto River Authority’s release of water from the Lake Conroe dam during Harvey, a move that Martin said he believes may have exacerbated flooding in the Lake Houston area.

WIDESPREAD EFFECTS

As we approached hurricane season, no one was prepared for the level of devasta-tion Hurricane Harvey brought to the area.

The loss and destruction was on street after street as businesses and homes were destroyed after the water sources that flank the Lake Houston area left their banks.

While driving through the community and personally viewing the prevalent sense of loss displayed by families in the community, I was overcome by sadness and a sense of helplessness.

But as strong communities do, we banded together and became even more united, igniting a sense of pride in restoring what was and creating new

beginnings.In our October issue of Community

Impact Newspaper, we discuss just that: restoration, what is next and how we will overcome and implement changes to bet-ter the current systems in place.

We will continue to keep you informed on the latest developments on our local businesses and transportation projects. Our election guide coverage will also provide unbiased information for you to make informed decisions in the November elections. Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your stories and photos.

We know this is a difficult time for so many, and we at Community Impact Newspaper are here to support you.

In areas such as Kingwood and Summerwood, which are a part of the cities of Houston and Hum-ble, respectively, residents could face a bump in their tax bills.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has proposed a 3.6 percent tax rate increase, which would generate about $50 million in revenue to pay for cleanup efforts. For a resident who owns a $225,000 home, the portion of their tax bill paid to the city of Hous-ton could increase about $50.

However, the rate hike is in Houston temporary. Houston has a voter-approved revenue cap, which requires it to cut the tax rate if appraisals increase.

Humble officials proposed a 1 cent per $100 valua-tion increase to 22.5 cents. The additional $380,000 in revenue is necessary as the city grapples with poten-tially $500,000 in sales tax revenue losses, Humble City Manager Darrell Boeske said.

The new rates for Humble and Houston residents could be approved by city councils in late September or October.

Residents who saw dam-age to their homes as a result of Hurricane Harvey in late August may see some relief on their annual tax bills following a request from the Montgom-ery County Commissioners Court to reconsider property values in the county.

The court unanimously passed a resolution during its Sept. 12 meeting to call for the reappraisals of residential property damaged as a result of flooding in late August.

Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal said he did not feel comfortable asking county tax-payers to pay more than their houses are now worth.

“I’m having a hard time sending somebody a full tax bill for a house that’s unus-able, so we’d like to get the

Montgomery County commissioners call for property reappraisals following storm damage

appraisal district to reappraise those homes, at least for this year,” Doyal said.

According to Section 23.02 of the state tax code, the county is eligible for reappraisal fol-lowing a disaster declaration from Gov. Greg Abbott on Aug. 25. Montgomery County will pay for any costs associated with the reappraisals, accord-ing to a county statement.

However, the reappraisal will only affect the county portion of property tax bills, Doyal said.

The property valuation for cities, schools, emergency services districts will remain unchanged unless they decide to adjust those taxes as well. The county’s portion accounts for approximately 16 percent of the average tax bill.

“We represent only about

a sixth of the average prop-erty taxpayer’s bill, with the remaining taxes coming from the school districts, cities, and special districts,” Doyal said. “Still, I wanted to provide what relief we could to taxpayers.”

Tony Belinoski, deputy chief appraiser for the Montgomery Central Appraisal District, said the district has already begun compiling data on the damage and expects to complete sur-veying the area by mid-to-late November.

“We’ve been working with the office of emergency man-agement, the county as well as all the cities with as many people as we can to identify as many properties as we can that were damaged,” he said. “We started looking at the properties prior to the commis-sioners passing the resolution

because anytime a property is damaged—especially due to flooding—it affects their market value going forward.”

Data will then be sent to the Montgomery County tax asses-sor-collector's office to adjust tax bills, Belinoski said.

For homes with new

COUNTY

appraisal values, property taxes will be prorated—or changed to reflect the new property value—from the time of the disaster until the end of the year. The move could result in partial tax refunds for some residents, according to county officials.

1. Once an area has received a disaster declaration, a taxing entity can request a reappraisal of damaged properties to reflect their new worth.

2. The corresponding appraisal district must complete an appraisal of all properties damaged in the declared disaster area.

3. New taxable values are calculated and homeowners receive a new tax bill.

4. Taxes are prorated for the year the disaster occurred and partial refunds may be issued.

Homes in Montgomery County damaged during Hurricane Harvey in late August could reappraised if agreed to by the taxing entity.

City of Humble plans to increase property tax rate 1 cent to offset declining sales tax revenuesBY CHRIS SHELTON

Humble officials considered raising the city’s property tax rate by 1 cent for the second consecutive year Sept. 28.

The measure was presented after major flooding events again reduced sales tax revenue. The results of the vote are unknown as of press time.

The city council held a public hearing regarding the tax rate—which is expected to rise to 22.5471 cents per $100 valuation—and to approve its $84 million budget Sept. 14.

Residents with a $200,000 home could see the portion of their tax bills paid to Humble increase by $31.

The increase will provide the city with an estimated additional $380,421 in property tax revenue. The revenue will help the city offset a possible loss of $500,000 in sales tax after Hurri-cane Harvey caused more than 40 businesses to temporarily close, City Manager Darrell Boeske said.

The new rate is still affordable for

residents, Mayor Merle Aaron said.“We’re probably the lowest ad

valorem tax rate I know on the north side of Harris County,” Aaron said.

The 2017-18 budget denotes that the city has $21 million in funds for possi-ble capital improvement projects.

However, the city will be cautious with starting new projects in the wake of Harvey, Assistant City Manager Jason Stuebe said.

The budget funds road projects, including $2.25 million to complete the four-lane expansion of Townsen Bou-levard west of Hwy. 59 and $3.3 million expansion of Rankin Road.

It also features $1.67 million in funding for Phase II of its Concrete Pavement Improvement Project, which is converting local asphalt roads to concrete.

Humble does not anticipate adding flood mitigation projects, Boeske said.

“We don’t flood, this is a river issue,” Boeske said.

NEWS BRIEFS

Kingwood's Insperity make $1 million commitment to Lake Houston Area Relief Fund BY TRACY MANESS

After more than 200 businesses in the Lake Houston area experienced a total loss due to Hurricane Harvey, several local entities created a fund to support community members who are experiencing hardships.

The Lake Houston Area Chamber of Commerce, Kingwood-based human resources company Insperity and Humble Area Assistance Ministries worked together to establish the Lake Houston Area Relief Fund in early

September, which is available for busi-nesses and residents in the Humble, Kingwood, Atascocita, Summerwood and Fall Creek areas.

The fund will provide residents and business owners fast funding, LHA Chamber CEO Jenna Armstrong said.

Approved applicants should expect a check to be issued less than three weeks after applying if all the sup-porting documentation is in order, she said.

“If we can help pay a lease or bills

for the business owner, that will free up funds for them to dedicate to recov-ering,” Armstrong said.

Corinn Price, who serves as Insper-ity’s director of community involve-ment, pitched the fund, Armstrong said. Insperity expanded its commit-ment when it announced Sept. 14 it will match donations to the fund up to $1 million.

“[Price] said the funds set up for Houston are great, but we need a fund to directly benefit our residents and

businesses," Armstrong said. Affected parties can apply online to

receive assistance at www.lakehoustonarearelieffund.org until the fund is wrapped up Dec. 11.

“This catastrophic event has impacted lives and businesses across Southeast Texas, including our own customers and employees, and recovery will take all of us work-ing together,” said Paul J. Sarvadi, Insperity chairman and chief executive officer.

E LI ZAB ETH R HOD E N HAR R E LL

MARTINEZ: This year there are approximately 15,000 students in NCISD, and approximately 60 percent of them are economically disadvantaged. In order to improve the district’s standards for these current and future students, we will need to focus on the five domains of the Texas Education Agency's A-F sys-tem—student achievement, student progress, closing achievement gaps, postsecondary readiness, and community and student engagement —and any future changes within that system.

HOW WI LL YOU H E LP NCI S D I M PROVE AM I D RAPI D STU D E NT G ROWTH?

HARRELL: Managing growth at such a fast rate is very difficult. I want to manage that growth positively not just by building schools to house the influx of new students, but to maintain high-quality standards when it comes to staffing at all levels. Staffing must be adequate for each campus and not overwhelm teachers with overcrowded classrooms.

W hen Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Houston in late August, it displaced Lake Houston area

residents across the socioeconomic spectrum, said Millie Garrison, Humble Area Assistance Ministries executive director.

The devastation pushed many families from Humble, Kingwood and Atascocita to the HAAM Resale Shop to replace essentials that were damaged or destroyed, Garri-son said.

“They’re calling it a 1,000-year flood,” she said. “A lot of people have never seen it. Who knew it was going to impact this whole area like that? Where before we had pockets, now we have the majority [of the Lake Houston area that was affected].”

The resale store carries several items that families in a crisis may need, such as furniture and housewares in addi-tion to jewelry and clothing. It also carries toys, books, art, linens and entertainment items, such as guitars, pianos and older computers.

All items sold in the store are donated, and

consignments are not offered, store manager Gary Gaillard said. The store does not take mattresses, pillows or over-used items, he said.

“If you would want it, someone else would want it,” Garrison said. “If you wouldn’t want it, there’s a good chance no one else would want it.”

The store provides a revenue source for HAAM, generating 27 percent of its yearly income, Garrison said.

HAAM is a full-service nonprofit that partners with 30 churches in the area. It offers resources such as job train-ing, financial help and a food pantry.

HAAM also offers vouchers to purchase items at the resale shop for local families. The nonprofit has already exceeded its budget for vouchers for the year due to increased demand after Harvey, Garrison said.

“We’re a crisis center for those who are the working poor and can’t make ends meet, and we try to drive them to self-sufficiency,” she said. “Do you need more education? Do you need a better job? And right now we’re in crisis mode with Harvey."

Tularosa Southwestern GrillRestaurant's menu evokes flavorful memories for owner

T he Lake Houston area has no shortage of Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants, so restaura-

teur RC Gallegos said he wanted to try something different. His success as the owner of RC’s NYC Pizza & Pasta—first in Conroe in 2003, then in Kingwood and in The Woodlands—allowed him to explore his dream of offering comfort food that originates from Southwestern region of the U.S.

Gallegos opened Tularosa Southwestern Grill in June 2016, with a menu that included dishes inspired by recipes from his family’s hometown.

He is originally from El Paso, Texas, but has child-hood memories of spending time in Tularosa, New Mexico, where his mother, Lynn, and her grand-mother, Bessie Gomez, would always have a hot meal waiting for him.

Diners can expect enchiladas made with green and red chiles, flat enchiladas, and vegetarian in addition to shrimp or beef fajitas. Meanwhile, the chicken-fried steak is served with the restaurant’s Cajun-spiced pork Tasso gravy, which was crafted for Tularosa by celebrity chef Lee White.

“I want when you come in and smell the food, you feel the memories of your childhood and you remember all the good times,” he said. “When open-ing RC’s Pizza or any restaurant, I was interested in being able to help people identify with their past experiences.”

Customers who walk in will receive full table ser-vice and will be treated like a country club member, Gallegos said. He said offering this level of service is important to him.

Gallegos also offered free meals to first responders at Tularosa and his two other Greater Houston-area restaurants after Hurricane Harvey made landfall on Southeast Texas, he said.

“These people have much more of a need for our help now,” he said. “We’re happy and proud to help our community. It’s the least we can do.”

the Lake Houston area in four days. The storm caused extensive flooding

across Humble, Kingwood and Atascoc-ita, which are flanked by Lake Houston, the West Fork San Jacinto River, Spring Creek and several bayous.

In Humble, about 370 homes and more than 40 businesses were flooded, Humble Mayor Merle Aaron said.

With several businesses needing to shut down temporarily, the flooding is expected to cost the city of Humble about $500,000 in sales tax revenue in 2017, City Manager Darrell Boeske said. This comes a year after Humble lost $300,000 in sales tax revenue due to flooding events in 2016, he said.

The cities of Houston and Humble are proposing property tax rate increases to pay for the recovery and cleanup efforts and replace losses in sales tax revenue.

While Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner proposed a 3.6 percent tax rate increase to fund cleanup efforts, Hum-ble officials proposed a 1 cent per $100 valuation increase to 22.5 cents.

For Humble, which receives a signif-icant portion of its revenue from sales tax, Boeske said the flooding will have a large effect on its economy.

“Everyone likes to shop online, including me, but if you have a choice, go help these people out by going to their business once they get up and run-ning,” Humble Council Member David Ray Pierce said. “It’s a feel-good thing, but it also helps our [sales] tax dollars.”

The storm was also damaging for Kingwood businesses, residents and schools, Martin said.

Several Kingwood neighborhoods, such as Kingwood Greens Village, Bar-rington and Fosters Mill, received water damage in more than 80 percent of the homes, Martin said. Businesses located within mixed-use developments Main Street Kingwood, Kings Harbor and Town Center, such as Torchy’s Tacos, Sharky’s and H-E-B, received water damage as well.

The water also enveloped the first floor of Kingwood High School and rose as much as 6 inches into the second floor, Humble ISD Assistant Superinten-dent Trey Kreamer said.

“It’s an event that we’ll never for-get,” Martin said. “It’s an event that could change what Kingwood looks like in the future. I hope retailers come back, and I hope people come back, but a lot of businesses are going to have to look at it and say ‘Does it make sense for me to make a big investment when you don’t know what’s going to happen next year?’”

EDUCATION CAMPUSES DAMAGED

When HISD officials entered King-wood High School they said the doors had swelled up so much it took crowbars and sledgehammers to open them. The special education classrooms, adminis-trative offices, fine arts and almost all of the district’s athletic equipment were recorded as a total loss.

“The gym floors are gone; the weight room is gone; all of our fine arts areas that are down in that area are gone,” Kraemer said. “And when I say gone, it’s a complete and total remodel. The gym floor floated up 4 feet.”

The damage was so extensive that KHS students could be displaced for the entire school year.

The district expects to spend $3 mil-lion after insurance payments cover at least $40 million in damage to KHS, HISD Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said. The district will pay the $3 million with reserves earmarked for natural disasters, Kraemer said.

No other schools received major dam-age, he said.

In early September, the district approved a plan to send KHS students to Summer Creek High School.

SCHS students meet for classes from 7-11:19 a.m., while KHS meets from 12:11-4:30 p.m. The approved plan elim-inates homeroom and makes lunch an optional period from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

“This was the best of only bad options,” Kraemer said.

Although all Lone Star College Sys-tem campuses sustained some minor damage due to Hurricane Harvey—like roof leaks—the LSC-Kingwood campus was hit hardest, taking on water in six buildings, two parking structures and three sports field areas, LSC-Kingwood President Katherine Persson said.

The campus was also inundated with raw sewage from a nearby water treat-ment facility, she said.

It could take more than 12 months for LSC-Kingwood to become fully oper-ational again, and the cost of system-wide damages is estimated at $25 mil-lion-$30 million, LSCS Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Olenick said.

LSC-Kingwood, which has 12,860 students enrolled, reopened Sept. 25 after renovations. About 900 students will be shifted to online classes or classes that meet partially in-person and online.

“We’re trying to make things work-able for students so there’s as little disruption for students in their lives in terms of trying to get on with their edu-cation,” Persson said.

SEEKING ANSWERS

Martin said he believes some of the flooding in Kingwood and Humble could have been prevented with a dif-ferent response from the SJRA.

During Hurricane Harvey, water levels in the Lake Conroe watershed reached a record peak rate of 206.2 feet above average sea level, according to news release from the SJRA.

As water rushed in and pushed the Lake Conroe watershed to its brim, SJRA officials said water was released to relieve pressure on the dam and prevent a potential breach. Water from Lake Conroe flows into the San Jacinto River before arriving in Lake Houston.

With unparalleled amounts of water released from the dam—roughly 79,000 cubic feet of water per second—homes and businesses downstream along the San Jacinto River were damaged.

State Rep. Dan Huberty, R-Houston, and Martin have called for an investi-gation from the governor’s office into whether the river authority should have released water in the days before, since heavy rainfall totals were already pro-jected, Martin said.

It would also study whether the SJRA released too much water at one time and if residents and officials received enough warning that a release of this

Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said on Sept. 14 that although the county is still recovering from flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, it also must decide what steps it will take to mitigate potential future flooding.

governor’s office.

CLEANUP EFFORTS, NEXT STEPS

Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said the county is working with DRC Emer-gency Services for debris removal in unincorporated areas. The cities of Houston and Humble are handling debris pickup in Humble and Kingwood.

DRC will make three passes in front of each property before depositing it in landfills, he said.

After the cleanup, Emmett said long-term solutions need to be discussed. The county is considering building a third reservoir along Cypress Creek, upgrad-ing current reservoirs, redefining the 100-year and 500-year floodplains and assessing whether the rules and regula-tions for development are adequate.

“That’s all long-term, but I think those things will happen,” Emmett said. “I don’t think there is any question that everybody believes flood control is the most important thing for our region.”

In addition, the county is preparing an increased home buyout program.

Homes that have flood insurance and homes that are located within a 100-year floodplain and have experienced flood damage in the past have a good chance of being purchased, said Russ Poppe, Harris County Flood Control District

Director. The county has received more than 3,000 buyout requests since the storm, Poppe said.

“Even if the actual buyout doesn’t occur for six months, as long as that per-son knows not to concern themselves with rebuilding, because they are going to get bought out, that is a much more acceptable approach,” Emmett said.

magnitude was on the way, Martin said. “I want answers,” Martin said. “And,

hey, if they’re legitimate answers I think we can all walk away and say, ‘What do we need to do to make sure it doesn’t happen again?’”

However, SJRA officials said the release was necessary due to the unprec-edented rainfall levels, and some of the flooding in the Lake Houston area was caused by the other water bodies that flow into the San Jacinto River.

“There is no question that the flows from this event were unprecedented and were highly damaging,” SJRA Gen-eral Manager Jace Houston said. “Yes, homes were destroyed by the powerful force of the high flows in the river. How-ever, only 20 percent of the water flow-ing into Lake Houston originated from Lake Conroe. In addition, it takes over 24 hours for water released from Lake Conroe to reach Lake Houston.”

As of press time, no investigation of the SJRA has been initiated by the

What sort of plans are being discussed to help mitigate future flooding?

There has been a proposed third reservoir on the drawing board going all the way back to the 1940s or ’50s. It was never built. Well, now is prob-ably the time to look at that one in the Cypress Creek watershed.

That would almost certainly be an [Army] Corps of Engineers project, and I know people always hate to hear this—I hate to hear it—but some of these things have got to require con-gressional action for funding.

We’re going to have to take a seri-ous look at every proposal out there, but my personal priority would be to identify all the projects on the water-shed we already have planned—Brays [Bayou], Hunting [Bayou], White Oak Bayou—and get those funded.

Because the way those get built is we [Harris County] spend $60 million a year and then we get reimbursed by

FEMA. Well, that’s not enough money.So, I would like Congress to

come up with a way to frontload the money from FEMA so that we can get those done and completed.

Who ultimately makes the decision for a third reservoir?

[The Army] Corps of Engineers. Now if the corps says it’s a good idea, but they can’t fund it, then we might have to look at it through the Harris County Flood Control District point of view. But if we do that, we are talking about a lot of money, and unfortunately, in the state of Texas, counties only get property tax money and there is a limit.

Who is in charge of the buyouts for flooded homes?

It’s FEMA money that facili-tates buyouts, but it will be the Harris County Flood Control Dis-trict that comes in and decides

which areas are more flood-prone.

What is the solution?You can’t fix it. We live in a flood-

prone Gulf Coast area. So, the question is, ‘How do you mitigate flood waters?’ And that’s what we are talking about. We’re talking channel improvement in the watersheds, talking about a third reservoir. And remember, we didn’t get hit by a hurricane this time. The areas that didn’t flood are the areas along the coast, and those are the areas where if a hurricane comes, they get inundated with storm surge.

So, you’ve got a lot of people who are saying this is more proof we need to build a coastal barrier. Well, that’s a whole separate issue, but that’s needed too. And all of those things cost money, and the public is going to have to decide what are they willing to pay for.

PC SHOP RE-EMERGES AS FOOD PANTRYWhen Kingwood PC Repair was flooded with nearly 5 feet of water, owner Ross Davis could not repair computers, so instead he opened a food bank inside his gutted storefront.

Since Hurricane Harvey ravaged the community near his business, Davis has given out bottled water, ice, pizza, hotdogs and Gatorade to anyone in need who could walk to the business, he said. “I saw a need—I saw these workers were coming in here, [and] most of them didn’t have a lunch,” Davis said. “There was nowhere they could just walk across to even get lunch because everything within walking distance was underwater.” Davis said he has taken advantage of his friends’ willingness to help, and the food and supplies keep arriving. He said he hopes to keep the food bank going until the shop is ready to open for business again, which is expected sometime this fall. Kingwood PC Repair6 N.
