Issue:
The projected increase in the cost of our health care coverage will increase the fringe benefits of our two grant funded positions in the amount of $4,425.36 for year two. Additional funds from T.I.D.C. and Webb County will be needed to cover this increase, and will be subject to the grant/cash match scale agreed to in the original grant. This budget amendment is being requested for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Solution:
Request is being made for authorization to submit a budget amendment to the Texas Indigent Defense Commission for an increase in grant funds to cover the additional cost of fringe benefits.
Result:
The increase in funds will allow us to cover the fringe benefits for year two of the grant.
