TRANSPORTATIONUPDATES TxDOT keeps I 45 expansion in 10-year plan despite investigation The North Houston Highway
COMPILED BY SHAWN ARRAJJ, ANNA LOTZ & HANNAH ZEDAKER
UPCOMING PROJECTS
rerouting I-45 to follow I-69 east of downtown rather than its existing path through Midtown. Proponents of the project have said it will ease congestion, particularly for commut- ers; improve safety; and mitigate ooding issues. However, opponents have argued the project will have disproportion- ately negative e ects on Black and Hispanic communities along its route. The project would displace over 900 residences, 300 businesses, ve places of worship and two schools, according to TxDOT’s nal environmental impact statement. Launched earlier this year, the FHA investigation is exploring possible civil rights violations within the proj- ect’s design. Harris County also sued TxDOT over the project in March.
The I-45 expansion project has received the support of the Houston- Galveston Area Council, and members of the group’s transportation subcommittee approved a nonbinding resolution in March to keep working with TxDOT on the project. Brandy Beyer, vice president of operations with the Greater Tomball Chamber of Commerce, said in August the chamber was in favor of keeping the I-45 project within the UTP as failure to do so could result in other TxDOT projects—such as the widening of FM 2920—also losing funding. Some opponents, however, stressed the funding should instead be used to pursue a more equitable project. Bugg said the commission will revisit the project and the investiga- tion at its December meeting.

Improvement Project will remain in the 10-year plan of the Texas Department of Transportation after unanimous approval Aug. 31. However, the controversial project remains stalled by a federal investiga- tion, and Bruce Bugg, the chair of the Texas Transportation Commission, said not much can be done until that investigation is completed. “It’s crystal clear to me TxDOT is ready to build the NHHIP, no question about it,” Bugg said. “But we can’t do it until the [Federal Highway Administration] releases the hold.” The $7 billion NHHIP has been part of regional transportation plans in Houston dating back to 2004.

in this eld. “As a former teacher, I encouraged my students to always nd what they wanted, and then get the certi cation and education they need to do that,” Smith said. ESD 10 is in a transitional phase as the organization prepares to end its contract with the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department, accord- ing to previous Community Impact Newspaper reporting. The transition will not change how the organization provides services but will cause current MVFD employees to become employees of the ESD, Smith said. Smith said part of the transition includes hiring more sta so all of the ESD’s nine stations can be opera- tional 24/7 to serve new residential and commercial growth. ESD 10 Secretary and Treasurer Kelly Viollete said she believes the new degree program is going to be key for the organization as it prepares for future growth and tackles the problem of sta ng. “For residents to have a local pathway to get through that type of program and it be cost e cient is huge,” Violette said. “For us, it builds a pipeline of future quali ed sta , so I think it’s amazing.” Next Steps Jones said LSCS is still in the pro- posal stage for the new baccalaureate program. Moving forward, LSCS will work to get approval from its board of trustees, then apply to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
Lone Star College System is in the process of adding a baccalaureate program in emergency management to provide additional options for students seeking higher education. The proposed program is possible because of House Bill 3348—passed during this year’s regular session of the Texas Legislature—which increases the total number of baccalaureate programs a community college can o er from three to ve. Valerie Jones, associate chancellor of academic a airs at LSCS, said the decision to add the emergency man- agement degree program was based on the projected need for employees in the eld for the next 10-20 years. “We want to make sure that the programs for our students are aligned with future careers for them,” Jones said. “With this case ... we are in an area where emergency management spans into so many di erent areas, from ooding to hurricanes to res and pandemics.” LSCS currently o ers three bacca- laureate programs: Bachelor of Science in nursing; Bachelor of Applied Tech- nology in cybersecurity; and Bachelor of Applied Science in energy, manu- facturing and trades management. Local Needs Larry Smith, president of the board of commissioners for Montgomery County Emergency Services District 10 serving the Magnolia area, said the emergency management degree gives students a clear pathway into a career

before applying to the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Associ- ation of Colleges and Schools. Once all of the steps have been completed, Jones said the college is planning to launch the program in the spring semester of 2023. “At each stage, we are demonstrat- ing to our board of trustees, the state and our regional accreditors that we have thoroughly thought through this,” Jones said. “We are showing our graduates will have employment after this and our community has requested a need for this.”
Jones said the program is antici- pated to operate in cohorts, begin- ning with a total of 30 students in the initial class before expanding up to 60 students the following fall. “What we experienced with our rst bachelor’s program was a much higher demand than we expected,” Jones said. “We are prepared for the same type of opportunity.” LSCS o cials said, if approved, the program is slated for the LSCWest- way Park Technology Center.

PUBLIC SAFETY Cypress Creek EMS, Harris County ESD 11 forge newpaths after feud
REVISING SERVICES With the Sept. 1 launch of ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare, the district is replacing a service Cypress Creek EMS had provided for more than 45 years. Here is a look at ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare’s services from Sept. 1-13 and CCEMS’ total numbers in 2020. CCEMS is now a separate venture, no longer serving only Harris County ESD 11.

entity to help fund emergency ser- vices in the area. Upon its formation, ESD 11 com- missioners approved a contract with CCEMS to continue providing ambulance services within the dis- trict, which was renewed annually until September 2020, when a feud between the two entities reached its boiling point. At a May 2020 ESD 11 board meet- ing, commissioners alleged CCEMS had been misusing taxpayer funds by using its on-site mechanic to conduct repairs on employees’ personal vehi- cles. That September, commission- ers voted to terminate the district’s service agreement with the EMS pro- vider, claiming CCEMS o cials had repeatedly refused to disclose nan- cial documents needed for the dis- trict’s investigation into the potential misuse of funds. Two months later, ESD 11 commis- sioners announced the district would launch its own EMS provider—ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare—but the two enti- ties continued to spar throughout the Since its Sept. 1 launch, ESD11Mobile Healthcare CEO Doug Hooten said the district is looking to move forward. Jerry Thomas, ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare’s community engage- ment manager, said dispatch received roughly 2,600 calls resulting in 1,420 transports from Sept. 1-13. “It is important to note that not all calls require an ambulance response nal year of their contract. Looking toward the future
Cypresswood residents Cli and Kati Woodward and others living near FM 1960 formed what eventually became Cypress Creek Emergency Medical Services in 1975. Now, more than 45 years later, the EMS provider is still going strong, although several years of building acri- mony with Harris County Emergency Services District No. 11, which began contracting with CCEMS upon its cre- ation in 2004, has forced the EMS pro- vider to pursue separate ventures. On Sept. 1, the district launched ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare to take over providing emergency services to over 600,000 residents across 177 square miles in its service area in north Harris County, which includes the southern Tomball area that is unincorporated. Meanwhile, CCEMS signed a con- tract with American Jet International in June to provide emergency air medical transports. Additionally, the EMS provider will continue to provide ground care and event services as well as educational opportunities for emergency and health care workers. A simmering feud While CCEMS was initially funded entirely by donations and money taken in from service fees, Harris County’s population—which grew by more than 580,000 residents from 1990 to 2000, according to U.S. Cen- sus Bureau data—prompted the need for additional sources of revenue. The creation of ESD 11 was approved by voters in 2004 to serve as a taxing

based on a patient’s medical prior- ities,” Thomas said. “We strive to get the right ambulance to the right patient at the right time.” Hooten, who previously served as CEO of the Metropolitan Area EMS Authority/MedStar Mobile Healthcare in Fort Worth, was appointed ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare’s CEO inDecember. According to Hooten, one aspect of a mobile health care system is providing proactive care, which
means getting to know the indi- viduals who commonly call 911 for nonemergencies. “[The question becomes,] ‘How do we establish the root cause of why you’re calling and become better able to help you learn how to navigate the health care system?’” Hooten said. Additionally, Hooten said ESD 11 Mobile Healthcare is working along- side local police agencies to develop a mental health response initiative.

GOVERNMENT Tomball approvesadditional o cers, newcameras for policedepartment
The three additional o cers, including an additional vehicle, will cost the city approximately $365,000, Bert said. City Council also approved the purchase of 40 body-worn and 16 vehicle-mounted AXON cameras for the police department, totaling $416,812, paid o in annual install- ments over ve years. Bert said the cameras are necessary because the department’s current operational model is ine cient, and there are not enough cameras for each o cer to have their own. The purchasing of the cameras was not included in this scal year’s budget, which began Oct. 1. “I would encourage you to take a hard look at whatever systems are giving us problems and be prepared for the next budget cycle,” Council Member John Ford said. Bert said he is applying for grants of up to $2,000 per camera to o set costs. Additionally, the new video system that comes with the cameras would save the city about $67,000 a year in labor and material costs, according to the agenda packet.
POLICE UPGRADES
Council members approved additional expenses for the police department Oct. 4 to accommodate a growing number of calls for services, although the equipment upgrades were left out of budget workshops earlier this year.
BY CHANDLER FRANCE
During budget workshops in July and August, Bert did not ask the council to fund additional o cers. However, some council members raised concerns about police sta ng and included funding in the scal year 2021-22 budget in case the city needed it. Bert said after the council raised the concerns, he sent two o cers to a sta ng analysis course and did an analysis for the department. After considering factors such as the increase in calls for service, the complexity of those calls and the growing population, Bert said it is necessary for the department to grow from 20 o cers to 23. Since 2017, calls for service have increased by 21.7%, Bert said. Com- plex calls, meaning calls that involve multiple o cers or include the assistance of re or medical services, have also increased 35.8%, Bert said.
Tomball City Council approved multiple upgrades to its police department, including additional o cers and new body-worn and car-mounted cameras, at its Oct. 4 meeting. The department will add three o cers, a new vehicle and 56 total cameras, totaling more than $781,000, as well as replace four vehicles as part of the city’s eet replacement fund. Police Chief Je Bert said the reason the upgrades are needed is not because crime in the city is rising. Although violent crime is slightly up over the past ve years, Bert said crime in general is 4% below the ve- year national average. “I’m not here because crime is up,” Bert said. “I’m here because our cops are doing the right thing, arresting the right people, keeping the streets safe. I would like to bolster that.”

AT THE CAPITOL Texas Legislature passes state, congressional redistricting bills
MAPMAKING 101 Unlike some other states, Texas relies on the state Legislature to redraw districts for the Texas House, Senate, congressional districts and State Board of Education every 10 years. The redistricting process must pass through the Legislature like any other bill.
1
Census published
Redistricting occurs on rst regular session after census is released, but due to timing, it occurred in special session in 2021
BY JISHNU NAIR
in the rst regular session following the publication of the U.S. census, the unique timing of the 2020 census meant that redistricting had to take place during a special session. The bills await Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature as of press time. If the Legislature had not drawn maps before the session ended, Abbott would have had to call another special session. According to the state’s redistricting website, the two basic requirements for the process are that districts must have as close to equal population as possible, and districts cannot limit voting based on race, color or language group. A 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case, White v. Regester, de ned “equal population” as a plan where the most populous district has at most 10% more than the ideal district population—or the state population divided by the number of districts. Populations cannot be more or less than 10% of the ideal population, the redistricting website states. An additional constraint for state House districts is the “county line rule,” which says districts cannot cross county lines, unless population size demands otherwise. However, Murray said the process allows for redistricting committees to “crack” or “pack” populations so that a party can control most of the seats. “We’re the only state that gained two seats in the country,” Murray said. “There’s immense pressure [on Republican lawmakers]
Texas lawmakers set the state’s legislative, congressional and State Board of Education districts for the next decade during the Legislature’s special session that ended Oct. 19. Texas saw growth in Hispanic, Black and Asian populations from 2010-20, according to the 2020 census. Texas’ growth resulted in two new U.S. House seats in 2021 for a total of 38 Texas representatives in Washington, D.C. Richard Murray, a political science professor at the University of Houston and former redistricting advisor to Texas’ Black legislative caucus, said minority populations also moved toward the suburbs—which could have in uenced how the maps were redrawn. “The minority populations have grown dramatically, but it has also dispersed,” Murray said. “There’s a lot of Black and brown ight to the suburbs, more than previous decades.” As of Oct. 16, Senate Bills 4 and 7 as well as House Bill 1, which redraw maps for the state Senate, State Board of Education, and state House, respectively, have passed in the House and Senate and await signage. Senate Bill 6, which redraws congressional districts, passed the Legislature on Oct. 19 following disagreements over amendments. A joint committee was called to work out the di erences.

to do something.” One change removed preclearance, which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down in 2013, per the redistricting website. Part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, preclearance required states with a history of racial discrimination to submit plans to the federal government for approval. Montgomery County opposesmaps Montgomery County commission- ers approved a resolution against the Texas Senate’s proposed redistricting maps released Sept. 18, citing issues with the county’s redrawn districts. The resolution cites Montgomery
County’s “rural to urban” state com- pared to “urbanized” populations. Montgomery County is currently divided into two state Senate districts. Sen. Brandon Creighton, R Conroe, sits on the Senate Redis- tricting Committee. In the Senate’s rst drafted map, the county is split among District 4, Creighton’s district; District 18, which would cross the border into Waller and Grimes counties; and District 7, which would cross into Harris County and include parts of Magnolia. The Senate map approved by the Legislature splits the county between districts 4, 7, and 18.
