The consent agenda has been created in order to give constituents the opportunity to view any and all pertinent backup information with reference to any item in the agenda.

The following Agenda Items are of a routine nature, and the Commissioners Court has received supporting materials for consideration.

If so, that Agenda Item will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed as part of the regular Agenda at the appropriate time. One vote will approve the remaining items on the Consent Agenda.

Honorable Monica Notzon, 111th District Court Judge

a.

AI-4242 Discussion and possible action to approve a Resolution and authorize the submission of a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance and establish a Mental Health Court Program. Grant Number BJA-2016-9205

Issue: It has been documenteaqd that offenders with mental illness are readily falling through the cracks in an inadequate criminal justice system. This appears to be due to the lack of mental health services and facilities available to the. This has brought to the fore the urgent need for a judicial system that could specifically advance these services to them. The presence of defendants with mental illnesses in the criminal justice system imposes substantial costs on that system and a substantial harm on the community.

Solution: Judge Notzon began a pilot Mental Health Court program which emphasizes public safety, diverts defendants with mental illness from incarceration to appropriate treatment facility and community resources.

Result: If funded, the program would be designed to identify and address the unique needs of the criminal offenders with behavioral needs. Mental Health Court would represent an effort to increase effective cooperation between the criminal justice system and the mental health system. Positive results are seen with faster processing time, improved access to mental health treatment services and reducing recidivism.

Annual Contractor Proposal

e.

AI-4218 Discussion and possible action to award Square E Engineering the amount of $4,900 for the installation of remote auto dialers at three locations within the water system including the elevated storage tanks to provide for real time level and pressure monitoring of our distribution system. [Account #745-3001-8801-07 (Capital Outlay Water Utility)]

Issue: Current system of remote viewing of distribution pressures and levels at critical points such as the Elevated Storage Tanks have been disabled and in disrepair for several years.

Solution: The installation of these new remove auto dialers will enable the operator to monitor tank levels from their Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) control room without leaving their duties to visit the tank sites.

Result: Enhanced real time information for the Operator will effectively provide for more consistent and safer operation of the pumps and water treatment equipment.

AI-4222 Discussion and possible action to award Lone Star Steel & Supply the amount of $42,069 for steel materials for the construction of new perimeter security fencing around the Rio Bravo Water Treatment Plant. [Account #745-3001-8801-07 (Capital Outlay Water Utility)]

Issue: Past Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (T.C.E.Q.) inspections have raised concern with the limited security in the perimeter fencing due to age and damage. Recent unauthorized access inside the Water Plant area have raised concerns with possible theft, damage, or contamination of our water treatment system.

Solution: We are recommending the purchase of supplies only, and our maintenance crews would slowly install a sturdier, more secured metal fence that would have a longer life than standard hurricane fencing. Past fence estimates have determined possible replacement of fence costs with existing materials would be in the $70,000 range.

Result: Plant will be fully secured 24/7 protecting our equipment, employees, and the integrity of the waters quality; and this installation would also improve aesthetically the view of the Water Treatment Plant.

Solution: Construction of a warehouse with separate inventory secured locations can be provided to store all equipment and materials in a dry and environmentally controlled area; but also have available space where equipment can be brought in to be worked on and readied for it's next period of service.

Result: Formal bids were received April 2015 under RFP 2015-07 and the low bidder was Azar Construction, evaluation of the specifications were conducted and value engineered to this cost proposal.

Planning & Physical Development

a.

AI-4231 Discussion and possible action to authorize the Planning Department to waive land use, development and utility application fees associated with on-site sewage facilities (OSSF), floodplain development, platting/subdivision review, and certificates of compliance (utility connections) for Webb County facilities and projects that are funded solely by county funds unless funding for such fees are the responsibility of a third-party or have been allocated by a grant or other funding source.

Issue: Several fee schedules have been established by the Commissioners Court for permitting, inspection and licensing of various land use and development activities under the purview of the Planning Department which contain no specific exclusion for county facilities or projects. Unless specifically granted a variance by the Commissioners Court, the Planning Department staff does not possess authority to waive court-ordered fees and thus, must place each request for a waiver on the court’s agenda or obtain payment of fees from the requesting department.

Solution: Obtain authorization from the Commissioners Court to specifically exclude county facilities and projects that are funded solely by county funds from the applicability of a fees collected by the Planning Department for land use and development activities unless funding for such fees are the responsibility of a third-party or have been allocated by a grant or other funding source.

Result: A more efficient procedure for the permitting of county projects and facilities which reduces delays and financial burdens between departments that are funded by the county.

AI-4220 Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of a grant application to the K9s4COPS foundation for a K9 to provide enhanced interdiction efforts against illegal trafficking; and authorizing the Webb County Judge to execute all relevant documents related to this grant; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does not require any type of match.

Issue: The Laredo/Webb County area is designated as part of the South Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), which is considered, "one of the most strategically significant cross-border drug smuggling corridors" (U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center South Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Market Analysis 2011). The 2011 report by the U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center further states that, South Texas HIDTA region has a greater influence on national-level drug trafficking and drug availability than does any area along the U.S.-Mexico border" (Drug Market Analysis 2011).

Solution: Grant application to acquire the services of a K9 to assist Webb County Sheriff’s Office deputies with interdiction and other crime-fighting services in the Laredo/Webb County area.

Result: Requested K9 will assist the Webb County Sheriff’s Office to fight crime and in securing evidence to build narcotics and money-laundering cases.

AI-4205 Discussion and possible action to authorize the acceptance of a Fiscal Year 2015 Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) grant in the amount of $1,981,000 from the Office of the Governor Homeland Security Grants Division (HSGD) for overtime, applicable fringe benefits, equipment, mileage, and operational costs related to homeland security border operations for the Webb County Sheriff’s Office, Constable Pct. 1, Constable Pct. 2, Constable Pct. 3, Constable Pct. 4; and authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does not require any type of match.

Issue: Complex and dynamic law enforcement challenges exist in the Southwest border area of the United States, including Laredo/Webb County. For example, transnational criminals seek to exploit existing law enforcement jurisdictional boundaries by conducting their illegal enterprises across traditional jurisdictional divisions. The 2014 Texas Gang Threat Assessment expounds, “Gang activity remains widespread throughout all regions of Texas…Gang activity is also prevalent in the Texas counties adjacent to Mexico and along the key smuggling corridors, since Texas-based gangs are used for cross-border smuggling and trafficking in the state. Many transnational gangs operating in Texas….engage in criminal activity in Mexico as well as in Texas and elsewhere” (Texas Department of Public Safety April 2014).

Solution: Grant award: (1) to ensure first responders are equipped with enhanced tools/equipment/resources needed to confront well-funded criminal organizations and (2) for the coordination of law enforcement efforts between various local and federal law enforcement agencies.

Result: Enhanced capabilities of local law enforcement responders; further coordination of response across local and federal jurisdictions.

AI-4247 Discussion and action with presentation to approve a Resolution opposing the proposal by Pescadito Environmental Resource Center to construct a landfill in Webb County, Texas; and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Rosaura “Wawi” Tijerina, Commissioner Pct. 2] [Co-Sponsored by Tano E. Tijerina, County Judge]

Issue: Webb County has a duty to its residents to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and the public at large. The landfill project proposed by Pescadito Environmental Resource Center to be located within the county can create significant risks to public health and the environment and creates an unacceptable risk of pollution of waters in the Rio Grande River Basin and to the health of residents of Webb County. The proposed landfill is inconsistent with the type of growth that would be in the best interests, including economic interests, for the County and would likely have a negative impact on future growth in the County.

Solution: Oppose the landfill proposed by the Pescadito Environmental Resource Center.

Result: Protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and the public at large.
