Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Sheriff’s Office for approval to extend 53 positions to January 31, 2026, for the FY25 Motorist Assistance Program (MAP), Incident Management Unit (IMU), and Tow and Go Program.
end
Background and Discussion:
This grant program funds the salaries of 53 grant-funded positions and supports motorist assistance on Harris County freeways, including contracts with vendors to remove stalled vehicles. A match is not required, and it is currently unknown whether a discretionary match will be necessary. The new contract will be submitted to Commissioners Court for approval once finalized. This request includes a Position Management Request form for 53 grant-funded positions associated with the grant amendment for the FY25 Motorist Assistance Program (MAP), Incident Management Unit (IMU), and Tow and Go Program currently referred to as Road Management Division. The grant period has been extended from June 30, 2025, to January 31, 2026.
Expected Impact:
No impact to the current budget in place.
Alternative Options:
Without this grant amendment, Harris County would lose funding for the 53 grant-funded positions of the Road Management Unit.
