Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of the ninth amendment to the agreement with The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD to allow for the lump sum payment of The Harris Center’s FY26 Budget allocation.
end
Background and Discussion:
In the original 1994 agreement, The Harris Center was to invoice Harris County monthly for the total annual
allocation. Since 2017, on an annual basis, the agreement has been amended to allow for a lump-sum
payment of the annual budget allocation, to allow for better cash flow for The Harris Center.
Expected Impact:
The lump-sum payment of the annual budget allocation will allow for better cash flow for Harris Center. The
$24,067,171 payment is the FY26 general fund budget allocation for The Harris Center.
Alternative Options:
Return to monthly invoicing and processing on behalf of the Harris Center, resulting in possible cash flow
issues for the Agency.
