Why it matters
County buildings need working air conditioning to serve residents well in Houston's hot weather. When these systems work properly, you get better service when visiting for voting, court business, or property records. Energy-efficient systems also save taxpayer money.
If this passes
The building gets a new, efficient air conditioning system. County workers can better serve residents in a comfortable environment. Taxpayers save money on energy costs over time.
If this does not pass
The old chiller system continues operating, which could lead to breakdowns, uncomfortable conditions for visitors, and higher energy costs for taxpayers.
