Request by the Office of County Administration for approval of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Monitoring and Closeout Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all programs in the ARPA Portfolio to establish the processes needed to maintain compliance standards required by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Harris County seeks approval of ARPA monitoring and closeout procedures to stay compliant with U.S. Treasury rules before the 2026 spending deadline.
Harris County's Office of County Administration is asking Commissioners Court to approve Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for monitoring and closing out all programs funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These procedures will set the steps county staff must follow to stay in compliance with U.S. Treasury rules as Harris County wraps up its $915 million ARPA portfolio by the end of 2026. The item was introduced June 26, 2026 and is scheduled for a vote on July 9, 2026.
Harris County received $915 million in federal ARPA funds for local programs. How the county tracks and closes out that spending affects whether federal rules are met and whether any funds must be returned.
