Agenda Item Modification

Department:	Sheriff

Information

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to rescind and revoke part of the court's direction to the budget officer strictly contingent upon the approval of a no-cost budget adjustment by funding agency on agenda item #28, approved on Monday, July 24, 2017. The agenda item dealt with funding a sergeant slot; and any other matters incident thereto.

Issue: There is some grant funding available upon the approval of a pending budget adjustment that may be utilized on the slot for an additional amount of time. However, the budget officer will still have to take the necessary steps to include a non-grant funded slot in the upcoming general budget and allot funding for the remaining amount of time of the upcoming fiscal year that is not anticipated to be covered by the remaining grants funds.

Solution: If the grant adjustment is approved, rescind part of the court’s direction on the funding of the slot until the grant funding is depleted. However, keep the directive to fund the slot in the upcoming new fiscal year’s budget.

Result: Webb County will remain in compliance with contractual stipulations in the collective bargaining agreement. Law enforcement officer who has faithfully served with the Webb County Sheriff’s Office since 1987 will continue to serve the citizens of Webb County.
