Request for discussion and possible action regarding the establishment of a Chief Infrastructure Officer designation and potential appointment of same.

A Chief Infrastructure Officer would be a senior county official focused specifically on infrastructure — things like roads, bridges, drainage, and public facilities. Creating this role suggests the county wants stronger, more focused leadership over how infrastructure projects are planned and managed. This could affect how tax dollars are spent on major public works across Harris County.

This is an agenda item introduced on June 2, 2026. Commissioners will talk about whether to officially create the Chief Infrastructure Officer position and, if they agree to do so, they may also vote to appoint someone to fill it. No appointment has been announced yet.

The item is listed as a Discussion Item (File 26-3880).
