Harris County Commissioners Court approved a settlement agreement with KGBTexas Communications for $10,014. This payment covers community engagement services provided from July 2021 to October 2021. Community engagement services help our county government connect with residents, share important information, and gather public input on decisions that affect our neighborhoods. These services often include public meetings, surveys, social media outreach, and translation services to reach diverse communities. This settlement shows that Harris County values professional communication services that help bridge the gap between government and residents. When our county invests in community engagement, we get better public participation in important decisions about health services, infrastructure projects, and budget priorities. This type of outreach helps ensure that all Harris County residents - regardless of language, income, or location - can access information and have their voices heard. Settlement agreements like this one go through public review at Commissioners Court meetings, where residents can observe the process. You can attend these meetings to learn about county spending and voice concerns about how our tax dollars are used. To stay informed about county contracts and settlements, visit the Harris County website or sign up for meeting notifications. Contact the Commissioners Court clerk for meeting schedules and agendas.
