Department:	Civil Legal Division

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to renew a Service Agreement contract with West Publishing Corporation D/B/A West Government Services for Two (2) licenses for Thirty-Six (36) months for the Consolidated Lead Evaluation and Reporting Services (CLEAR) for investigative purposes at a monthly charge not to exceed Two Hundred Twenty Two Dollars and Ninety-two cents ($222.92), and to be adjusted after each succeeding 12 month term at a rate not to exceed Three (3%) percent over the charges for the preceding 12 month term, subject to annual budget appropriating and authorizing the County Judge to sign and execute all relevant documents. [Requested by Nancy Cadena, Webb County Indigent Health Care Director; Account #1001-5040-001532001 (Professional Services)]

Issue: The Indigent Health Care Services Department utilizes this online software program to obtain investigative reports on program applicants to verify possible assets/resources and residency. This software program is also used to find relatives of unclaimed pauper decedents. The IHC Department is currently limited with only one licensed user which may delay the approval process for the indigent clients.

Solution: Staff members will have access to conduct searches in an efficient and effective manner that will expedite the investigative process.

Result: With the adequate access to this online resource, IHC caseworkers will be able to make an eligibility determination for the program applicants.
