County Court at Law II DWI Court Program
Submitted for:	Cesia Rodriguez	Submitted By:	Cesia Rodriguez
Department:	County Court At Law #2

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the creation of two slots under the County Court at Law II, DWI Court Program, Grant Number TI-026095. The slots will be for a Project Director and a Case Manager. The Project Director will be listed under a salary of $50,980.02, with fringe benefits of $16,482.57, totaling $67,462.59 for salary and fringe, and the Case Manager will be listed under a salary of $26,000.00, with fringe benefits of $11,449.10, totaling $37,449.10 for salary and fringe. Also, discussion and possible action to approve the creation of an insurance account in fund #2356. The account will be listed as #2356-2070-001-421000. The purpose of this account would be to cover complete fringe benefits for the two slots. Currently, there is enough money under the payroll line item of the DWI Court Grant to cover these two slots from pay period 07/21/2017 - 09/29/2017, which would cover any salary and fringe for fiscal year 2 of the grant. [County Court at Law II DWI Court Program, Account 362-1011-6022] [Requested by Victor Villarreal, County Court at Lw 2 Judge]

Issue: Since the implementation of the DWI court grant in County Court at Law II in 2015, there has not been any personnel hired at one-hundred percent effort under the grant. Previously, the county was providing funding for salary and fringe for employees who were working and operating the grant.

Solution: By approving the implementation of these two (2) slots, the personnel to be hired under these slots will be funded completely by SAMHSA to cover salary and fringe benefits.

Result: The county will no longer need to pay out of pocket to fund salary and fringe for personnel hired specifically to operate a SAMHSA funded grant.
