COURT TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON THE FOLLOWING:

CONSENT AGENDA: At most meetings, the Commissioners Court establishes a Consent Agenda. It consists of those Agenda Items which are routine or non-controversial, and which neither a member of the Commissioners court has asked to be pulled for discussion. Once the Commissioners Court has established the Consent Agenda, Agenda Items included on it will be voted upon in one vote, and will not be discussed separately unless requested by the County Judge or Commissioners.

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 objective of the consent agenda is for all Webb County constituents to be familiar with everyday county business and to demonstrate the transparency and fairness of this Commissioners Court.

The following Agenda Items are of a routine nature, and the Commissioners Court has received supporting materials for consideration. All of these Agenda Items will be passed with one vote without being discussed separately, unless a member of the Commissioners Court or the public requests that a particular Agenda Item be discussed. 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.

Issue: The Court is required to pay services that have already been rendered for Psychiatric, Psychological, and Certification Evaluation services. There are insufficient funds in the line item account to pay full amounts billed to the Court. During the fiscal year 2015-2016, Visiting Judge Polly Jackson Spencer was assigned to oversee a case in County Court at Law II, work and expenses were incurred and have not been paid to date. In early 2017, due to events that caused a change in the administration of County Court at Law II, Visiting Judge Ron Carr was assigned to oversee the Court until an appointment was made effective, utilizing a 93% of the account balance. The visiting judge expense line item is near to depletion and requires additional funding to cover for the past due invoices owed to Judge Polly Jackson Spencer. At the beginning of this fiscal year, previous administration allocated a total amount of $30,000.00 for the adult misdemeanor line item account. The account is soon to be depleted and monies are needed to cover the pending attorney vouchers from the previous administration and the incoming vouchers for the rest of this fiscal year. Line item transfers will allow the department to pay outstanding invoices for expenses, it will allow the travel to the Texas College of Probate Conference and is needed to cover the postage necessary to continue with the process of closing out family, civil, probate and juvenile cases.

Solution: Approve line item transfer to make monies available to cover the outstanding balance for services rendered by the different vendors. Approve line item transfer to make monies available to cover the outstanding balance for services rendered by visiting judge in fiscal year 2015-2016.

Result: Ensure payment for all pending invoices and future expenses.
