Its purpose is to acquire land along the bayous within the Houston City limits, design linear parks and construct multi-use trails along the bayous. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for Houstonians by increasing equitable access to parks and trails while helping to improve flood prevention. 6672794 1631903 6985000 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. 2694867 205081 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 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 managed by HPB for the City of Houston. 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. The ASK program and the First Tee Program monitors the initial and ongoing qualification of scholarship recipients, not HPB.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 - Other Changes in Net Assets Houston Parks Board Foundation (the Foundation) was created in 2011 as a nonprofit corporation for the benefit of Houston Parks Board (HPB). 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.
