Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.) between Webb County and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to allow access to Mexican customs liason officers deployed by Mexico’s Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (SAT), designated as U.S. Customs officers to use the Webb County rifle and pistol firing range for CBP to provide joint firearms training.

Issue: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) needs permission from Webb County to allow Mexico’s S.A.T. deployed Customs Officers to use the Webb County rifle and pistol range in order to provide them with firearms training.

Solution: Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) and The County of Webb to grant access to SAT Customs Officers to utilize Webb County property (firing range) to conduct joint firearms training.

Result: The firearms training provided by C.B.P. to the Mexican SAT Customs Officers will enhance the services they provide at the Laredo International Airport, for Customs pre-inspection activities thereby further strengthening U.S. and Mexico relations.
