Request by the Office of Management and Budget for discussion and possible action to provide a monthly update on its outstanding balance of Accounts Receivable (AR) for federal grants to ensure compliance with the recommended cap of $100M.

The county receives federal grant money but sometimes has to spend its own funds first and wait to be reimbursed. If too much money is sitting uncollected, it can strain county finances. Keeping the outstanding balance under $100 million helps the county stay financially healthy and meet federal guidelines.

The OMB will share a monthly snapshot of the county's Accounts Receivable (AR) for federal grants — basically, how much the federal government still owes Harris County. Commissioners Court will review the numbers and may take action or ask questions. This item was introduced on June 2, 2026 (File 26-3882).
