Discussion and possible action to retain Allison, Bass, and Magee to defend Webb County and Webb County employees named in Civil Action No. 5:17-cv-00237; Mario Alberto Andrade, Sr, and Irene Herrera vs. Webb County, Texas; Orlando Villanueva; Arturo Garza-Gongora; Hortencia Avalos; Maria Vaillancourt; and Julio Arriaga, and authorizing the County Judge to execute relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue: The County Attorney has indicated that he will not represent Webb County on this matter despite the Commissioners Court specifically providing his office with a “Civil Litigation Specialist” and an assistant for the Civil Litigation Specialist. Consequently the County is in need of outside counsel to defend against the above referenced suit.
Solution: Retain outside counsel capable of defending against the claims in the lawsuit.
Result: Webb County and the named employees will be appropriately represented.

Discussion and possible action to approve required corrections to the Personnel General Orders for county departments that were adopted by the commissioners court for the 2017-2018 fiscal year budget; and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue: Proposed changes to the general orders need to properly reflect the correct discretion/longevity amounts budgeted in the appropriate line items for county departments. The Commissioners Court adopted these changes for fiscal year 2017-2018.
Solution: Approve requested corrections that will not change the total amount that is currently budgeted in the line item.
Result: Accurately identify the correct discretion/longevity amounts budgeted in the appropriate line items for county departments.
