(This is equivalent to the first full pay riod of the new calendar year. For example for 2009-2010: The last day to use 2009 Va ati n and Floating Holiday will be 118110 and the first day to use 2010 Vacation and Floating Holiday (if granted) will be 119110.) As you are aware the Commissioners Court approved the creation of a deadline for using Vacation and Floating Holiday each year. This January the Human Resource Department conducted the roll over and it was discovered that although the deadline helped in resolving some of the issues that were occurring in the past, it did not fully resolve them. Even with the deadline in place the manual process between the Payroll Manager and HR was not eliminated or even reduced and the amount of time spent manually adjusting leave banks which in turn leaves the door open for errors was not reduced either. For these reasons I respectfully request the Court consider implementing a start date of the first day of the first pay period following the roll over for the use of Vacation and Floating Holiday (if granted). With your approval, this change will add the following statements to the listed sections of the Employee Manual: Section 2.01.2: Employees may use the vacation earned in the new calendar year on the first day of the first full pay period of the new calendar year. Section 2.03.8: Employees may use their Floating Holiday for the new calendar year on the first day of the first full pay period of the new calendar year.

With your approval the following sections will be added and revised as follows: Addition of Section 2.03.8 Floating Holiday: Commissioner's Court may approve a Floating Holiday when approving the County Holidays. Commissioner's Court determines whether or not to allow for a floating holiday each year. A floating holiday is a personal day available to full-time and part-time employees, excluding temporary's, of Brazos County upon completion of six (6) months of employment, with approval from their Department Head. The number of hours or duration of the Floating Holiday is to be equal to the hours that would have been worked by the employee on a regular work day. Floating Holiday must be taken by the last day of the pay period that includes days in the previous calendar year and the new calendar year. Revision of Section 2.01.2 Scheduling: Old: After the first year on December 31 st, any annual leave balance in excess of the maximum allowable shall be reduced to the maximum without compensation. New: Vacation must be taken by the last day of the pay period that includes days in the previous calendar year and the new calendar year. After this deadline, any annual leave balance in excess of the maximum allowable shall be reduced to the maximum without compensation. Explanation for request: Currently, the vacation rollover is conducted after the last full pay period for December is completed, which is usually the 1 st payroll in January. After payroll is run and the last accrual is incurred, Human Resources will have the system perform the leave bank rollover. Since the following pay period consists of some days from December, it is the department's responsibility to note on the timesheet if any vacation and/or floating holiday in this pay period were used in December. The Payroll manager will track the employees and the number of hours that were taken in December for this payroll. The Payroll Manager will then notify HR, after payroll has been processed, of employees who have taken vacation and/or floating holiday and the number of hours taken in December which was included in the pay after the rollover has occurred. HR compares the rollover to Payroll's report to see if employees lost any time. If so, HR must then manually adjust their leave banks in the system to account for time taken off up to the end of December. Therefore, departments and employees will have three payrolls in which the leave banks may or may not be correct. This manual process is very time consuming, creates a lot of confusion among supervisors and employees, and it leaves the door open for a massive amount of errors. For these reasons I respectfully request the Court consider a deadline for the usage of Vacation and Floating Holiday (if granted). Thank you. u APPRO R y Sims, County Judge date VOLt1f;WE -W TXDPS CRIME RECORDS SERVICE MOU Page 1 of 6 * -:~t Memorandum of Understanding between Texas Department of Public Safety and Brazos County STATE OF TEXAS § COUNTY OF TRAVIS § LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING SECTION 1.

All payments will be made in accordance with the Project Budget. The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category (I, ll, or III) in the approved Project Budget without a grant (budget) amendment, as long as the overrun does not exceed a total of five (5) percent per year of the maximum amount eligible for reimbursement (TxDOT) in the attached Project Budget for the current fiscal year. This overrun must be off-set by an equivalent underrun elsewhere in the Project Budget. If the overrun is five (5) percent or less, the Subgrantee must provide written notification to the Department, through the TxDOT Electronic Grants Management System (eGrants) messaging system, prior to the Request for Reimbursement being approved. The notification must indicate the amount, the percent over, and the specific reason(s) for the overrun.

The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased above the Grand Total TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget, unless this Grant Agreement is amended, as described in Article 5 of this Agreement. For Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants only: In the Project Budget, Subgrantees are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of (100) Salaries, Subcategories A, "Enforcement," or B, "PI&E Activities," to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory C, "Other."

D. Federal or TxDOT funds cannot supplant (replace) funds from any other sources. The term "supplanting," refers to the use of federal or TxDOT funds to support personnel or an activity already supported by local or state funds. E. Payment of costs incurred under this Agreement is further governed by one of the following cost principles, as appropriate, outlined in the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars: • A-21, Cost Principles for Educational Institutions; • A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments; or, • A-122, Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations.

If the Department determines that the project has demonstrated merit or has potential long-range benefits, the Subgrantee may apply for funding assistance beyond the initial Agreement period. Preference for funding will be given to those projects for which the Subgrantee has assumed some cost sharing, those which propose to assume the largest percentage of subsequent project costs, and those which have demonstrated performance that is acceptable to the Department. ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Payment of costs incurred hereunder is contingent upon the availability of funds. If at any time during this Grant Period, the Department determines that there is insufficient funding to continue the project, the Department shall so notify the Subgrantee, giving notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, as specified in Article 11 of this Agreement.

Problem Identification Over the past 20 years, alcohol-related fatal crash rates have decreased by 60 percent for driver's ages 16 to 17 years and 55 percent for driver's ages 18 to 20 years, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research from CDC and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates that, from an enforcement standpoint, this progress can be attributed to aggressively enforcing existing 0.08% BAC laws, minimum legal drinking age laws, and zero tolerance laws for drivers younger than 21 years old in all states (Shults et al. 2002, Quinlan et al. 2005). The Texas Statewide Alcohol Program Assessment Tool completed in November, 2007 confirms that the Texas impaired driver initiative (Texas Program)has many successful programs in place in the areas of prevention, deterrence, treatment & rehabilitation, and program management. The Assessment Tool also found that Texas has been successful in aggressively enforcing existing 0.08% BAC laws, minimum legal drinking age laws, and zero tolerance laws for drivers younger than 21 years old, and that it also suspends driver's licenses for underage persons who drive impaired - and/or in some cases simply possess alcohol. In spite of this progress, in 2006 Texas still led the nation in the number of young drivers killed in traffic accidents with 298 (NHTSA). Also in 2006, 25 percent of the young drivers (15 to 20 years old) who were killed in crashes had a BAC of .08 g/dL or higher (DOT HS 810 817). As admirable as all of the aforementioned enforcement efforts are, their focus is still on the circumstances that occur after an underage person consumes alcohol. Common sense dictates that underage persons cannot drink and drive if they do not have access to alcohol. The Assessment Tool found the Texas Program in need of improvement in the area of Responsible Alcohol Service - more specifically, the "implementation and enforcement of programs to eliminate the sale or service of alcoholic beverage to those under 21 years of age". The Assessment Tool also points out that "TABC does not have enough staff to enforce all of the alcohol regulations". Unlike DWI enforcement, many municipal and county law enforcement agencies are reluctant to enforce these alcohol regulations. Investigating and successfully prosecuting these types of cases can be complex and time consuming for agencies that have no training or experience in this area. Combine this with the fact that many medium- sized communities like the Brazos Valley, that have universities or colleges in their jurisdiction, are so busy dealing with the fall-out from alcohol related crime and traffic problems that they don't have the resources to become proactive or preventive. In 2001, alcohol-related traffic crashes totaled 391 in Brazos, Grimes, Robertson, Madison, Washington, Leon and Burleson counties. Eight-nine (89) of the alcohol- I 1 - 15 l fg -0" related traffic crashes involved persons under the age of 21. From September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2005, there were 2137 Minor in Possession of Alcohol citations, 203 Making Alcohol Available to a Minor citations, and 56 Administrative charges filed against licensed establishments for Sale of Alcoholic Beverages to a Minor in the above mentioned counties. A minor's ability to purchase, possess and consume alcoholic beverages continues to be a problem in these communities as witnessed by the above statistics. This area has a population that is significantly influenced by the college community where drinking and driving is common. From January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2006, there have been 226 criminal cases filed in Brazos County alone where a fictitious driver's license has been used or attempted to have been used by a minor to purchase alcohol. The two most common ways for an underage person to obtain alcohol are: someone sells it to them or someone buys it for them. Sale to Minor cases usually fall into one of two categories: a licensed establishment failing to do their job, or an underage person with a fake, fictitious, or counterfeit driver's license. Making Alcohol Available cases are usually well-intentioned people who don't understand the legal or public safety consequences of providing the alcohol. If we can decrease the number of fatalities by 55-60 percent with enforcement activities directed at interdicting the underage impaired driver after they have become impaired, more proactive enforcement can impact that number by enforcing the existing alcohol laws at the point of sale or acquisition- before they become impaired. By employing strategic enforcement of underage drinking laws, utilizing public information and education opportunities, and providing technical and statistical support to all disciplines, a regional underage drinking task force can be the entity that bridges Texas' gap between traditional impaired driver enforcement (DWI) and the prevention and education communities. II. Project Plan Problem Solution Since its inception, this TXDOT funded program has been successful in deterring underage drinking and driving by identifying underage persons who possesses and/or consume alcoholic beverages and by identifying persons who provide alcohol to minors. The Brazos County Attorney's Office proposes to continue these efforts and expand the operational scope of the Regional Alcohol Task Force for FY2009. The task force serves, and has current memorandums of understanding with, Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Washington counties. The task force places undercover personnel and peace officers on the street and in licensed premises to target establishments and individuals who provide alcohol to minors. It deploys a combination of officers, undercover minors, and undercover video operators working variable shifts during the times and days when minors are known to obtain alcoholic beverages. Using civilian minors in any investigative operation can be complex and not without risk. Task force personnel use a process of recruiting and training minor operatives through partnerships with local schools, high school resource officers, and community based underage drinking organizations such as the high school Zero Tolerance programs. This is a proven process that insures a solid criminal case while keeping the minor safe at all times. This task force will integrate local law enforcement officers with agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and enforce Texas' current underage drinking laws at the point of alcohol sale or acquisition. Agents will conduct sale to minor stings and making alcohol available sting operations. Agents will also conduct operations focused on detecting fictitious driver's licenses and persons who use, sell or manufacture them. As the Texas Statewide Alcohol Program Assessment Tool pointed out, "local political views determine how stringently youth impaired driving laws are enforced". Task force personnel will develop and produce a regional task force sponsored public service announcement to create community awareness of the dangers of underage drinking and driving. Agents with the current Brazos County Regional Task report that most subjects are shocked when they learn that the penalty for providing even one sip of an alcoholic beverage to an underage person is the same as being arrested for DWI or Deadly Conduct. Task force personnel will use these communication tools to create a cognitive dissonance for adults who underestimate the consequences of selling or providing alcohol to an underage person. Task force agents will also provide technical and statistical assistance to programs like TABC's Project SAVE and Manager awareness programs, as well successful community groups in the region that focus on underage drinking and driving - such as Carpool, High School Zero Tolerance Programs, and DARE. Texas has made progress in reducing impaired driving, but the ability for underage persons to obtain alcohol is still under-addressed. States like Virginia have implemented enforcement oriented underage drinking programs with great success. By employing strategic enforcement of underage drinking laws, utilizing public information and education opportunities, and providing technical and statistical support to all disciplines, this regional underage drinking task force can be the entity that bridges Texas' gap between traditional impaired driver enforcement (DWI) and the prevention and education communities. By targeting underage drinking and driving at the point of sale/acquisition, this program will continue to decrease the number of alcohol related crashes by persons under 21 by: 1. Deterring licensed establishments, their employees, and other persons from selling, serving, or making alcohol available to minors. 2. Identifying and filing criminal charges on minors who possess alcohol or . II&- 154 fictitious/counterfeit identification. 3. Identifying and prosecuting persons-who manufacture or possess with the intent to sell fictitious/counterfeit identification to underage persons. 1l~M` 155 O W F4 C 7 a - c 0) O (u IL a) a Q a 0 a W U. a ~a V ~ 0- U) a a a d p V O a v E o N a) _ E 0C D -a) a) E E 0 2 C: a m cm cm cm O N 0), Cj Cl) U) L o - 06 o a ~ 0 2, E 0 CD C f V O - L ~4) > a`) C) a C a) 4- (V a O ° o c E 1~0 C M : a) E V 0) CD Q E U U O' 0 U C N 33 c U) O Co N ~ i O L- 4- E2 cu 0) c: CO m 0- CD (D .Q U N E : °D cu C p ~ 0 O a) O' a Z C E N Y O ~O E U 1 y..
