Issue: Although there are many costs to the housing of federal inmates at the Webb County jail for which Webb County can seek federal reimbursement and due to the limitations of the current records management software, there are often obstacles in generating the very specific, abstruse, and complex customized data required by the federal government for successful reimbursement requests for each individual criminal alien housed at the jail.

Solution: Contract professional services with Justice Benefits, Inc. in order to increase federal reimbursement for costs associated with housing inmates facing federal charges, including aliens with felonious criminal violations, at the Webb County jail.

Result: Federal revenue maximization for Webb County as it seeks to increase its State Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) reimbursements.

AI-3494 Discussion and possible action to exercise the holding over clause under the lease agreement between Moises Gonzalez (LANDLORD) and Webb County (TENANT) for leased premises known as 2900 US Highway 83. The holding over rate of $4,000.00 would be effective November 1, 2015 and would terminate upon vacating the leased premises, all over terms and conditions remain unchanged. [Account #001-0109-6012]

Issue: Due to damages sustained by the Probation/Sheriff Boxing Gym building located at 3802 S. Zapata HWY, the Sheriff's athletics division was relocated temporarily to the above mentioned location under a lease rental agreement with Mr. Gonzalez. Initial term was for one (1) year ending March 2014. Subsequent to that the lease agreement was extended for one more year ending March 2015.

Solution: The estimated time of completion for renovations is projected by end of November 2015. Since renovations are nearing completion it would not be favorable to Webb County to renew lease agreement for another year or any other term that would exceed the estimated time of completion.

Result: Therefore, exercising the HOLDING OVER clause would provide a month to month rental payment without any financial commitments beyond the vacancy of this leased property.
