ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2026-02-03

This item would have approved $3.9 million over five years for the Parks and Recreation Department to purchase recreational, educational, and miscellaneous supplies through the BuyBoard Cooperative from vendor S&S Worldwide, Inc. However, it was pulled by the Administration before the Council could vote on it.

What it means for you

No action was taken on this item, so there is no immediate effect on Houston residents; the Parks Department's supply purchasing arrangement through this contract remains unresolved.

Outcome

On the February 3, 2026 council agenda. Outcome pending minutes processing.
