Issue: Shortfalls under longevity pay and Medical Services. During the months of July and August unexpected spikes in medical services occurred totaling $17,083 and $28,904, respectively. In addition, another $17,000 in bills are being held until funding is available. These expenses are not at face value but are at a discounted rate obtained from Indigent Health-care Solutions (IHS) which provide Medicaid rates for Webb County Jail inmates.
Solution: Transfer funding from other budgeted amounts with savings.
Result: Avoid line item deficits and pay outstanding Jail medical bills.
