Verify Houston Forensic Science Center funding authority

Context: On June 10, 2026, Council unanimously adopted the full-year payment ordinance only after Item 61, while the supplied record verifies no later implementation milestone.

Recommended: Obtain the First Interlocal Agreement and the record for prerequisite Item 61, then confirm that the adopted authorization covers full Fiscal Year 2027 operating expenses and that the stated sequencing condition was met. This is urgent before payment implementation proceeds because the ordinance was expressly conditioned on another item’s passage.

Compare Houston Forensic Science Center funding prerequisites

Context: This matter appeared twice: the June 3 record cites Item 14 as the prerequisite, but the June 10 adopted record and minutes cite Item 61.

Recommended: Request the June 3 and June 10 agenda materials, minutes, and any revised item backup to explain why the first appearance required passage of Item 14 while the adopted item required Item 61. Also request the payment-support documents to establish how the full-year operating-expense authorization will be executed.
