The Office of the Chief of Staff serves as the liaison between the different Precinct One teams and Commissioner Rodney Ellis.
They ensure that teams are coordinating and collaborating with each other as well as with other Precincts and the County Judge’s Office.
THE ADMINISTRATION TEAM helps keep the precinct running behind-the-scenes. They keep the entire Precinct One staff
organized and on track by overseeing the schedule of events and meetings and coordinating different departments. They also answer all your phone calls!
THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM keeps you in the know. They write, develop graphics, and send out important information to the press, through social media
and directly to you through both electronic and snail mail. If you are reading anything coming from Precinct One – including this website – it was probably written by someone on this team!
THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS TEAM are the people you see in your neighborhood. Coordinators from this department organize community meetings
and events, coordinate with local organizations like the Houston Food Bank, and will often canvass door to door to inform residents about important resources.
THE FINANCE TEAM pays the bills. They ensure that Precinct One is managing our resources responsibly and make sure that everyone gets paid on time.
THE PLANNING & INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM keep the Precinct looking beautiful. They handle roads, bridges, and parks throughout the area.
Whether it is helping design a brand new park or keeping streets safe during hurricanes and storms, Precinct One’s planning and infrastructure department
ensures that all of our residents have safe roads, clean parks, and beautiful spaces to enjoy.
