the development project of a ‘riverwalk’<br />

2. Floating fence is now being proposed for the area<br />
of the proposed riverfront development after <strong>CBP</strong><br />
consulted with local stakeholders. Floating fence<br />
can be adjusted and moved to accommodate the<br />
proposed development.<br />
Extensive negotiations resulted in an offer made to<br />
acquire land behind the IBWC levee, erect a<br />
movable fence, and revert ownership back to the<br />
city once they met requirements stipulated in the<br />
contract regarding construction of a retaining wall<br />
into the embankment that runs along the river.<br />
When presented with this offer, the city counsel<br />
opted not to vote on the matter, thus <strong>CBP</strong> will at<br />
least proceed with the erection of movable fence<br />
in this area.<br />
