Subject:
Discussion and possible action to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with United Independent School District for the use, by Webb County, of the School District’s facilities, namely the Bill Johnson Student Activity Center Auditorium and Fine Arts Rooms, (at no cost to the County) for the empanelment and selection of petit jurors for the Webb County Judicial Courts and any other matters incident thereto; and authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents. [Requested by Joe Lopez, 49th District Court Judge]
Background:
Court facilities are not large enough to empanel juries and maintain social distancing of the prospective jurors.
