Harris County commissioners are set to hear discussion on nearly 350 items, ranging from an update on the 2023 Harris Health voter-approved bond projects and the countywide pay parity project.

The big picture: According to a list of agenda discussion items for the court's Feb. 26 meeting, commissioners will receive an update on the countywide compensation and pay equity project—an effort that kicked off in 2025 and included studying role descriptions and salaries of law enforcement and county employees.

Also on the agenda: Commissioners will also receive an update on the progress of the $2.5 billion bond approved by voters for Harris Health projects. In January, officials with Harris Health announced the fundraising effort led to help support the bond infrastructure projects had reached $99 million, just $1 million short of the district's goal.

Stay tuned: Harris County Commissioners Court meetings are held at 9 a.m. in Downtown Houston. The administration building is located at 1001 Preston St., Houston. Meetings are also available to livestream
