Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Sheriff’s Office for approval to accept an amendment to an agreement with Houston-Galveston Area Council in the amount of $3,082,000, with no required match, for the FY 25 Motorist Assistance Program (MAP), Incident Management Unit (IMU) and Tow and Go program, and extend 53 associated positions to June 30, 2025.
end
Background and Discussion:
This grant program funds the salaries of several grant positions and provides motorists assistance on Harris County freeways and contracting with vendors to remove stalled vehicles. A match is not required and it is unknown if a discretionary match will be needed. We will bring the contract to Commissioner’s Court for approval when it is finished.
Expected Impact:
Removes stalled and abandoned vehicles in Harris County highways. No impact to the current budget in place.
Alternative Options:
Without this grant amendment Harris County would forfeit the opportunity to remove stalled and abandoned vehicles in Harris County highways.
Alignment with Goal(s):
X Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
