Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of classification of Chaplain, as required by the U.S. Department of Labor, for the Inter Governmental Service Agreement (IGSA) Federal Contracts 70DCR18DIG000004 that were entered into pursuant to Texas Government Code §272.005 and requesting the Department of Labor approve the additional classifications and wage pay rates; authorizing the Webb County Judge to sign all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. This will have no impact on the County's General Fund. [Webb County Detention Center Account #1001-209250-180]

Issue: The current IGSA contracts with the federal government require that CoreCivic’s Webb County Detention Center Chaplain have a wage and classification for the duties that the employee performs. The position that is not customary requires a request for authorization for additional classification and rates using standard form 1444. Webb County is the Service Provider and by and through Sheriff's Office facilitates the relationship and administers the contracts between the federal government and CoreCivic.

Solution: Submit standard form 1444 to the proper federal entity, U.S. Department of Labor.

Result: The employee that is performing the functions at the Webb County Detention Center will be in compliance with the IGSA contract and federal department of labor requirements.
