Subject:

Discussion and possible action to amend an existing Service Agreement contract with West Publishing Corporation D/B/A West Government Services to decrease the amount of users from Four (4) licenses to Two (2) licenses for Thirty-Six (36) months for the Consolidated Lead Evaluation and Reporting Services (CLEAR) for investigative purposes at a monthly charge not to exceed One Hundred Ninety Two Dollars and Forty Cents ($192.40), to be adjusted after each succeeding 12 month term at a rate not to exceed Seven (7%) percent over the charges for the preceding 12 month term, subject to annual budget appropriating and authorizing the County Judge to sign and execute all relevant documents. [Requested by Nancy Cadena, Webb County Indigent Health Care Director; Account #1001-5040-001532001 (Professional Services)]

Issue: The Indigent Health Care Services Department utilizes this online software program to obtain investigative reports on program applicants to verify possible assets/resources and residency. This software program is also used to find relatives of unclaimed pauper decedents. The IHC Department is currently limited with only one licensed user which may delay the approval process for the indigent clients.

Solution: Staff members will have access to conduct searches in an efficient and effective manner that will expedite the investigative process.

Result: With the adequate access to this online resource, IHC caseworkers will be able to make a eligibility determination for the program applicants.
