(the LGC), the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Harris County Flood Control District and other entities started a 7 year project identified as the Bayou Greenways 2020 ("BG2020") program which is focused on the expansion of the City's park system along Houston's bayou system. The goal is to improve the quality of life for Houstonians by acquiring land along the bayou system within the Houston City limits and constructing multi use trails along the bayous, thus improving the quality of life for Houstonians while helping to improve flood prevention. 4574798 5778000 In 2014, The Houston Parks Board entered into a 30-year agreement with the City of Houston to maintain existing BG2020 parkland, trails and greenspace. Under this agreement, the City has agreed to provide an annual maintenance fee to HPB, which escalates each year. The terms of the agreement provide that funds remaining after maintenance costs from year to year contribute to a Capital Replacement Reserve fund for replacement of damaged or depreciated trails and amenities. 2252610 17500 26398 The Houston Parks Board, in partnership with Houston Parks Board LGC, Inc. (the LGC), Houston-area communities, the City of Houston, and other entities, works to acquire new park land and to improve park spaces through renovation of existing parks and construction of new improvements to provide equitable distribution of park land and recreation facilities for Houston's growing communities. The LGC is a Texas nonprofit local government corporation created by the City to provide support for the City's park system. HPB has a management agreement with the LGC to acquire, manage, develop, and improve park properties on behalf of the LGC and contract for the design, development, improvement, construction, and

From time to time, it transfers land to or purchases land for the City of Houston or the Houston Parks Board LGC, a local government corporation that was formed to hold the parkland and improvements of HPB. HPB also acts as an agent for the City of Houston regarding certain funds that are maintained on behalf of the City. Two such funds provide scholarships to students. The Houston Parks and Recreation Department's A.S.K. Group and the First Tee Program determine the ASK and Dave Marr scholarship recipients and have HPB write a check directly to the school the student is attending.

Effective June 30, 2016, the Foundation amended its bylaws to require that 51% of the Foundation's Board of Directors be appointed by HPB to allow the Foundation to be classified as a Type I supporting organization controlled by HPB. Prior to the change, and in accordance with GAAP, HPB's balance sheet reflected an asset called "Interest in Houston Parks Board Foundation" which represented the net assets of the Foundation. Due to the change, the financial information of both entities is consolidated in HPB's financials and that "asset" no longer appears. The adjustment in Part XI removes this amount.
