AI-2547 Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of a grant application to the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) for Fiscal Year 2015 State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) grant in the amount estimated at $70,000 for reimbursement of costs already incurred for the incarceration of undocumented criminal aliens at the Webb County jail; and authorizing the Webb County Judge to execute all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does not require any cash match.
Issue: Although immigration matters, including illegal immigration, are constitutionally established as existing under the legal jurisdiction and regulation of the federal government, state prisons and local detention facilities, such as the Webb County jail, incurs significant costs incarcerating undocumented foreign aliens who commit crimes in the United States. This includes but is not limited to supervision, housing, feeding, clothing, any medical and transportation expenses, and other associated detention costs.
Solution: Grant application to obtain reimbursement of a small percentage of the incurred correctional officer salary costs associated with detaining undocumented criminal aliens who had at least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions for violations of state or local law and who were incarcerated at the Webb County jail for at least four (4) consecutive days during the reporting period of July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
Result: Webb County will be reimbursed by the federal government a limited percentage of the amount of its already incurred costs of detained foreign criminals incarcerated at the Webb County jail.

AI-2552 Discussion and possible action to approve the acceptance of a law enforcement grant award from the National Rifle Association (NRA) Foundation in the amount of $7,267.50 for the purchase of firearms, magazines, and ammunition; and authorizing the Webb County Judge to execute all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does not require any cash match.
Issue: The Webb County Sheriff’s Office must continually equip its sworn officer force with an important array of duty gear, other critical safety equipment, and essential, but costly expendable supplies, such as ammunition, utilizing limited local funds. Moreover, the vast majority of federal and state grants do not allow for the purchase of firearms and/or ammunition as an eligible grant expense.
Solution: Grant award from the National Rifle Association (NRA) Foundation to provide firearms, magazines, and ammunition as a supplemental source of this needed equipment and consumable supplies/materials.
Result: The Webb County Sheriff’s Office sworn officer force will be provided with additional firearms, magazines, and duty ammunition.

b) The amount of $6,929.42 to D & J Alexander Residential Development, Accounts #90090261295 and #90090261297, Check #111659 was over said amount due to the accounts being previously paid for year 2014.
Issue:

b) Accounts #90090261295 and #90090261297 had been paid prior to receiving Check #111659 from D & J Alexander Residential Development resulting in an over-payment.
