Summary
The board approved the February regular session minutes, adjourned to executive session for personnel and litigation, and returned to approve a $2 hourly starting pay increase for county cardiac techs, EMTs and paramedics effective the pay period ending Feb. 15.
Harris County commissioners approved regular-session minutes for February, moved into executive session on personnel and litigation matters, and after returning to open session approved a temporary pay adjustment for emergency medical positions.
At the start of the meeting a motion to approve the minutes for the regular session of February 2025 was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Near the meeting's end the board voted to adjourn into executive session for personnel and litigation.

The motion specified the effective date as the pay period ending Feb. 15. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the board's approval but does not include a roll-call tally in the public record.
