CAA- EL Aguila Rural Public Transportation CDL Salary Adjustments
Submitted for:	Ruby Reyes	Submitted By:	Ruby Reyes
Department:	Community Action Agency

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the continued use of Webb County General Funds in the amount of TWO HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($211,000.00) to cover the wages and benefits payable to the grant-funded CDL-certified operators that are not covered by the grant for the current fiscal year (beginning September 1, 2023 thru August 31, 2024) and designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official to sign all relevant documents in all matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-1160-001-463905-005]

Issue: The following positions reflect the past commissioners court agenda dated 1/23/2023 and 03/13/2023 in which a wage study determined that CDL-certified operators were not accurately compensated, causing the inability to fill and or retain qualified candidates and causing the programs to be affected. CDL requirement listed in the job description plays a huge factor. The current cannot sustain the current drivers’ salary of $19 per hour.

Solution: Approve the proposed changes discussed regarding CDL requirements and proper endorsements.

Result: Ability for program to hire certified CDL Bus operators necessary for the program to function adequately.
