COURT TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON THE FOLLOWING:

CONSENT AGENDA: At most meetings, the Commissioners Court establishes a Consent Agenda. It consists of those Agenda Items which are routine or non-controversial, and which neither a member of the Commissioners court has asked to be pulled for discussion. Once the Commissioners Court has established the Consent Agenda, Agenda Items included on it will be voted upon in one vote, and will not be discussed separately unless requested by the County Judge or Commissioners.

The consent agenda has been created in order to give constituents the opportunity to view any and all pertinent backup information with reference to any item in the agenda. The objective of the consent agenda is for all Webb County constituents to be familiar with everyday county business and to demonstrate the transparency and fairness of this Commissioners Court.

The following Agenda Items are of a routine nature, and the Commissioners Court has received supporting materials for consideration. All of these Agenda Items will be passed with one vote without being discussed separately, unless a member of the Commissioners Court or the public requests that a particular Agenda Item be discussed. If so, that Agenda Item will be pulled from the Consent Agenda and discussed as part of the regular Agenda at the appropriate time. One vote will approve the remaining items on the Consent Agenda.

Slot #	Title	Hourly Rate

0533	Finance Director	$24.83 - $27.77 21/A-J

This slot is classified as exempt by rule of the Civil Service Commission; and, thus, is excluded from Civil Service coverage and guidelines. Furthermore, this slot is a highly sensitive and critical position which requires a high salary rate due to the complexity of the position's primary duties, high threshold of minimum job qualifications, need to employ a job applicant who can start employment with significant expertise/experience, and the requirement to provide a competitive salary comparable to those paid for this same type of position by both other public sector agencies and private businesses.

Issue: Need to fill critical position of Finance Director (Slot #0533), especially due to existing budgetary challenges, current budget preparations for upcoming fiscal year, and to close out the end of this fiscal year. Previous Finance Director transferred to Purchasing Department effective 6/10/2016.

Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0533 in order to continue necessary financial duties and responsibility.

Result: The filling of this important slot will allow the Webb County Sheriff’s Office to continue to meet important financial and budgetary responsibilities.

Slot #	Title	Hourly Rate

0547	Public Information Officer	$18.46 - $19.40 16/A-E

This slot is classified as exempt by rule of the Civil Service Commission; and, thus, is excluded from Civil Service coverage and guidelines. Furthermore, this slot is a highly sensitive and critical position which requires a high salary rate due to the complexity of the position's primary duties, high threshold of minimum job qualifications, and need to employ a job applicant who can start with significant expertise/experience.

Issue: Need to fill critical position (Slot #0547) of Public Information Officer (PIO). This is due to the law enforcement sensitive information this position provides to media and public, especially due the importance, breadth, scope, volume, legally required timeliness, and sensitive nature of processing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Previous Public Information Officer resigned effective 6/03/2016.

Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0547 in order to continue to provide necessary and required public accountability, transparency, and public service information.

Result: The filling of this important position and slot will allow the Webb County Sheriff’s Office to continue to meet important transparency/accountability duties and otherwise be responsive to needed/requested information by Webb County taxpayers, media personnel, and citizens.

Discussion and possible action to approve the posting and filling of the following Slot, subject to the availability of payroll funds and any applicable Civil Service guidelines, effective June 27, 2016; and any other matters incident thereto:

Slot #	Title	Hourly Rate

0571	Community Affairs Clerk	$13.07-$13.73 - 9/A-E

Issue: Need to fill slot #0571 of employee who retired effective 6/9/2016. Requests from community organizations, individual schools, citizen groups, special populations service providers, and individual taxpayers for presentations, participation in special events, and other community outreach services by the Webb County Sheriff’s Office personnel are ever constant and high volume; and, due to this high demand, the dedication of a full-time civilian to fulfill some of these requests allows uniformed officers to be able to devote more time to other law enforcement duties that only they can carry out. Furthermore, according to modern law enforcement management principles, an agency’s commitment to community outreach and community-based policing is considered an essential component to a comprehensive, proactive, responsive, public-service centered law enforcement agency, especially to historically under-served and special needs populations. One academic paper states, “Positive police-community relations are critical for effective crime prevention, case investigation, officer safety, and successful police-citizen interactions.” (Critical Issues in Law Enforcement Decreasing Crime by Increasing Involvement: A Law Enforcement Guidebook by the Criminal Justice Police Research Institute (CJPRI).

Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0571 in order to continue proactive law enforcement services to the local community, including general community outreach and public service to special populations, such as the elderly, schools-based programs, rural/colonia residents, and youth.

Result: By filling the slot, the Webb County Sheriff’s Office will be better able to be proactively involved in the community and provide crucial community-based policing/liaison services.

0361	Patrol Sergeant	$26.13 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

Issue: Need to fill slot #0361 of employee who retired effective 5/31/2016. This is a supervisory position which is required due to the complex nature of the patrol duties and the need for first line supervisors to provide guidance in a law enforcement division which requires significant discretion and judicious decision management. Furthermore, the filling of this position will assist in minimizing liability by providing a first-line supervisor who can deliver onsite officer assistance/back-up in the field when circumstances require sound judgment during split second decisions and much needed officer support for safety.

Solution: Request is being made to fill slot #0361 in order for the patrol division to maintain sufficient manpower, enforce traffic/criminal laws, reduce response time to calls for service, and provide sufficient public safety coverage for the incorporated cities, rural communities, and colonias in Webb County.

Result: The Webb County Sheriff’s Office will be able to continue to provide law enforcement safety and security to the incorporated cities, rural communities, and colonias in Webb County.

Discussion and possible action to approve a Three (3) year lease and maintenance agreement between Webb County for the Sheriff's Office and Ecolab for the use of a dish washer and water softener services at the Webb County jail at a base rate of One-hundred Eighty-Five Dollars ($185.00) per month, ratify any pending payments of previously invoiced services/approval to release payments, and any other matters incident thereto.

Issue: The Webb County jail requires a high capacity dish washer and associated water softener services in order for the jail kitchen to be able to function and provide necessary sanitary food services to inmates. The current agreement for the dish washer and water softener services needs to be renewed in order for these food services to continue undisrupted. Without this agreement, the Webb County Sheriff’s Office’s Finance Division cannot process any needed payment to the vendor, Ecolab.

Solution: Enter into a new three (3) year lease and maintenance agreement for the use of a dish washer and water softener services at the Webb County jail.

Result: The Webb County jail and its kitchen will continue to have the proper equipment and services to maintain necessary sanitary standards.
