At a May 17 budget workshop, City Council discussed the city pool, which was recently discovered to leak. City Manager Austin Bleess said the project could cost $6 million-$10 million, and construction could begin in fall 2024 if a bond election is held and approved by voters. The formation of a temporary committee to explore options was considered, but council chose to have it discussed in upcoming public hearings.
Harris County Attorney's Office to challenge 2022 census results
BY EMILY LINCKE
A COSTLY COUNT Harris County is challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 population estimates, citing a possible undercount that could cost the county up to $150 million in federal funding annually.
HARRIS COUNTY The Office of the Harris County Attorney will be challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 population estimates, citing a possible undercount of 40,000-45,000 residents after county commissioners approved the effort May 16. The breakdown: As of July 1, 2022, Harris County had a population of 4.78 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey one-year estimates. • The county saw an almost 1% increase from the county’s population estimate for April 2021. • The county saw a 16.8% increase from the county’s population estimate for April 2010. The impact: The alleged undercount could be shorting Harris County up to $150 million in federal funding annually, First Assistant County Attorney Jonathan Fombonne said. On May 16, commissioners unanimously voted for the county attorney’s office to challenge the 2022 census population estimates. What they’re saying: “We know we have a lot of people moving here from California and New York and other places. ... And certainly that could impact congressional seats and other things that should be here in Texas, not in

California,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey said. “I’m not promising that that’s what we’ll be able to change the count to, but that’s certainly what we’re going into with our goal,” Fombonne said. The takeaway: Fombonne said 40,000-45,000 is an estimated undercount, and a final estimate is yet to be determined.
