Discussion and possible action to approve a plan/process for paying for toll road fees for Webb County vehicles; and any other matters incident thereto.
Issue: The use of a toll road continues to increase. Most often Webb County will incur additional late fees after use of a toll road given that that the current process requires much time before a bill is paid. Currently Webb County first identifies the department that has used the toll road and then contacts the department for them to initiate any payment process.
Solution: The recommended process for payment of toll road fees calls for the funding of an account and for payment to be processed immediately as the bill is received by the purchasing department without waiting to first identify the department. The recommended process also calls for departments that use toll roads to have a department line item to cover their expense.
Result: Toll road fees will be paid on time and late fees will be avoided.
