PASSEDHouston City Council · 2025-11-05

The City Council is being asked to approve $1,432,000 from a city equipment fund to cover the remaining cost of replacing an aging HR employee training and performance management software system used by Houston Information Technology Services on behalf of the Human Resources department. A previous ordinance passed in August 2025 did not include the full amount needed, so this action supplies the outstanding balance.
