Background and Discussion:

The Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office (HCFMO) has been tasked with providing security services to multiple elected officials.  Until the team can be fully developed, the need to make available 10-hours of Z-time per employee exists to manage their compensatory time.  This request is only expected for this fiscal year and no additional funding is being requested.  HCFMO will fund this through our existing budget. 

 

Expected Impact:

 

This will allow for continued security services while the team is fully developed, reduce compensatory time impacts, and enhance employee job satisfaction.

 

Alternative Options:

 

None
