Background and Discussion:
Harris County District Clerk's Office has fifteen (15) unreserved parking spaces $85.00/each at 1401 Congress Street, Houston, Texas 77002 Parking Garage and needs to renew the access as required for the term of January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The one-year term is expected to be at a $1,275.00 monthly and $15,300.00 annually. The expected cost will be covered with approved Fiscal Year 2026 budget and no additional funding is required at this time.

Expected Impact:
Approval of lease will allow the District Clerk's Office to continue providing necessary parking access to personnel working in the Downtown Courthouse Complex.

Alternative Options:
The available parking is limited in the Downtown Courthouse Complex and not having approval for renewal of the lease will increase the difficulty in finding secured parking for personnel.
