Following a completed audit from the county, the commissioners agreed to reimburse over $450,000 in incurred expenses brought on by the coronavirus pandemic from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding it received.
The only notable change to the reimbursed amounts came to a request from The Woodlands Township, which had its request of $274,372.42 reduced by about 11% due to a portion of its population residing in Harris County.
Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack noted The Woodlands had received funding from Harris County as well. As such, the township received around $244,000 for its request.

- The Woodlands Township: $244,192.34
