Background and Discussion:
Since the onset of COVID-19, Commissioners Court has authorized temporary amendments to the Harris County Personnel Policies and Procedures to respond to the pandemic. With the high efficacy of the available COVID-19 vaccines and decrease in the COVID-19 Threat Level, Harris County is expected to prepare for operations to resume at a moderate pace. As a result, certain temporary amendments to the Personnel Policies and Procedures are recommended to be suspended.
