Background and Discussion:
On October 10, 2023, Commissioners’ Court accepted the FEMA award totaling $1,940,740 with a required
match of approximately twenty-four percent ($467,705). This is an Amendment to a grant award and should have no impact on the general fund of the county departments. This amendment extends the grant end date from 08/31/2026 to 08/31/2027.
Expected Impact:
The additional time will allow various departments to complete their projects. This award contains a total of
five (5) projects. No additional budget impact to Harris County is expected from the approval.
Alternative Options:
If the FEMA FY2023 Port Security grant is not extended, there is a risk that funds will not be distributed before the end of the current time of performance. Federal government shutdowns directly affected the award.
