There is no cash match; and, thus, there is no impact to the general fund. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. [Fund 2712 (Texas SAVNS Contract)] [Requested by Martin Cuellar, Sheriff]
Issue: In the past decades, many crime victims, such as victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, were unaware if their respective crime perpetrators were able to post bail and released from the corrections system. In late 1993, one particular victim who had been raped, assaulted, and stalked in Jefferson County was unaware that her former boyfriend had been released and was subsequently ambushed by him after she left work. She was shot Seven (7) times at point blank range and killed on that day, her 21st birthday.
Solution: As a result of community outrage, an automated telephone notification system for crime victims and other concerned citizens was instituted: Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) Service. This nationwide system is funded for Texas counties through the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and is currently utilized by Webb County.
Result: The crime victims of Laredo/Webb County can enroll in this program and will be provided with automated notification upon an offender’s custody status change, such as release, transfer, and/or relevant district court dates. |

Issue: Replacement and upgrade of existing motors for River Intake Submersible Pumps is recommended to provide for water delivery from River to Plant for treatment. Existing motors have been failing for two (2) years and with this upgrade we can provide for improved performance and consistency.
Solution: Due to improved operational controls and improved chemical usage we have been able to significantly reduce our chemical cost in the flocculation process. We would like to use this savings for FY2018 for the upgrade of our motors at the River Intake.
Result: Improved pumping consistency with the ability to obtain more competitive pricing for the repair of these new motors. |
