ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2025-12-02

The City Council is considering amending an existing contract agreement with Honesty Environmental Services, Inc. and Fern Environmental, LLC for environmental services, with a total contract value of $50,000,000 from the Enterprise Fund. The item had not yet been received by the City Secretary at the time it was called and would only be considered if received before the meeting ended.

What it means for you

This amendment would modify the terms of a $50 million contract for environmental services paid through city enterprise funds, which are supported by fees from city-run utilities and services rather than general taxes. Residents who use those utility services are the primary stakeholders.

Outcome

On the December 2, 2025 council agenda. Outcome pending minutes processing.
