The County has authority under Texas Occupations Code § 2308.202 to regulate the fee to be charged for nonconsent tows,' including not only tows initiated by a law enforcement officer,2 but also non- consent tows from private property. 2. Texas Occupations Code § 2308.204 provides that in an area in which no political subdivision regulates the fees that may be charged for nonconsent tows from private property, a towing company may charge and collect a fee for the tow of a motor vehicle from private property in an amount not to exceed an amount equal to 150% of the ordinary law enforcement tow fee and 125% of the heavy duty law enforcement tow fee. 3. In order to avoid the disparity of fees charged by towing companies conducting tows in the unincorporated area of Brazos County, the Commissioners Court desires to exercise its authority to regulate the fees for all nonconsent tows. 4. Texas Occupations Code § 2308.203 requires the Commissioners Court, if it exercises the authority to regulate all nonconsent tows, to establish procedures by which a towing company may request that a towing fee study be performed and to establish or amend the allowable fees for nonconsent tows at amounts that represent the fair value of the services of a towing company and are reasonably related to any financial or accounting information provided to the governing body. 1 See TEX. OCCUP. CODE ANN. § 2308.002(6). 2 Law enforcement officer includes a Brazos County Sheriff, a Brazos County Constable or their deputies and other Peace Officers (See TEX. CODE OF CRIM. PROC.

All fees and maximum allowable charges relating to the Non-Consent Towing of Motor Vehicles and the issuance of any permits and ID Cards shall be determined by Commissioners' Court. An initial schedule of maximum allowable Towing fees is included herein. These maximum allowable fees shall remain in effect from the effective date hereof until changed by Commissioners' Court.

Allowable charges set out in herein are "maximum" allowable fees; Towing Companies may charge for Non-Consent Towing services fees at or below maximum allowable amounts. 3. All maximum allowable fees set out by Commissioners' Court in this Order have been determined to provide fair remuneration to owners and Operators of Tow Trucks performing services related to Non- Consent Towing following study and research by the County and its assessment of current Towing fees in Brazos County, analysis of citizens complaints, consideration of the urban/rural locality, consideration of the median income of the population in Brazos County, and research and comparison of fees regulated by other neighboring or representative jurisdictions. In addition, maximum allowable charges set out have been determined to compensate for all functions, duties and equipment necessary for the performance of Non-Consent Towing services. 4. It is a violation of this Order for any tow truck operator or tow truck company to charge any fee for non-consent towing services not actually performed. 5. This Order does not regulate or set fees for salvage of cargo spilled from large rigs or trailers. Services for such salvage services may be negotiated by and between the tow truck operator recovering the cargo and the motor vehicle owner. Order Regulating Fee for Nonconsent Tows In Unincorporated Area of Brazos County Page 5 of 10 Uw. ^ ~ Order 09-003 6. Fees for non-consent towing services apply to movement of a vehicle from a law enforcement scene to an eligible vehicle storage facility, or other location designated by the vehicle owner and agreed to by the tow truck operator.

Moreover, a vehicle owner shall not be charged for non-consent towing of a vehicle transported from the initial vehicle storage facility to another, except where the movement is requested or approved by the vehicle owner. Further, no credit card convenience fees may be assessed in situations involving a non- consent tow from a location directly to a vehicle storage facility. Section 4.

TOWING FEE STUDIES. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that towing rate studies are to be conducted no more than once every four years in response to a request by the industry representatives of businesses that have performed nonconsent tows within the unincorporated areas of the County within the previous year, which may include individuals, partnerships, corporations, or any other association that is engaged in the business of towing motor vehicles from locations in the unincorporated areas of the County without the consent of their owners or operators for compensation or with the expectation of compensation. The industry's written request must be co-signed by at least 5% of the Towing Companies that are registered with the Sheriff's Office (or with the entity or jurisdiction to which the Sheriff may delegate registration) for law enforcement tows and who collectively own and operate at least 10% of the total number of tow trucks permitted or authorized to perform law enforcement tows at the direction of County law enforcement officers. Notwithstanding the above, the County can decide to undertake a rate study at any time it deems necessary, without an industry request. As part of future rate studies, the County's Office of Budget Management (OBM) will send out survey forms to towing businesses from which OBM has received written requests to receive such forms and to other industry representatives as OBM determines might have useful information. In order for the County to perform a rate study that accurately reflects the competitive marketplace and complete the rate study in a timely manner, towing companies should provide to OBM, within 30 days of request, copies of their actual financial statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, etc.) for the most recent three years along with detailed operating statistics that would support the financial information. A respondent's submitted data should reflect information for their towing as well as non-towing businesses, if any. The data requested above would permit OBM to synthesize local industry operating cost trends such that allocation of costs to police authorized tows Order Regulating Fee for Nonconsent Tows In Unincorporated Area of Brazos County Page 7 of 10 Z7 Order 09-003 can be adequately analyzed. In order to develop appropriate towing cost averages in Brazos County, sufficient number of companies should be willing to provide their data. Therefore, if the responses with good quality data (as determined by the County in its sole discretion) are not timely received from at least 15% of the total number of surveys sent by OBM, and if the responses represent less than 20% of the actual number of operating tow trucks registered with the Sheriff (or to the entity or jurisdiction to which the Sheriff may delegate registration) to perform law enforcement tows, the County, at its sole discretion, may decide not to undertake the study and/or update the tow fees and/or related fees. The County shall not be required to consider a subsequent rate adjustment request made within one year from the date the County makes such decision to not undertake the rate study. Employees and officials of Brazos County are cognizant that the data required for assessing and changing tow rate schedules are sensitive in both operational and competitive ways. County employees are to take prudent steps necessary and practical to ensure that all analyses completed and included in reports will utilize only combined figures (such as average or median numbers) and that none of the provided figures will be linked to a single company or division of a company. At such times as the City of Bryan or the City of College Station modifies maximum tow fees applicable in its jurisdiction based upon tow studies or based upon consumer price indices, OBM is directed at such times to review, to the extent available, the information that either city used to make its determination along with such other relevant information as OBM may wish to consider, and then present an analysis of such information to this Court for a determination by this Court whether such information justifies a modification to the fees applicable to the unincorporated area of the County.

III. THE BRAZOS COUNTY JUVENILE SERVICES DEPARTMENT DOES HEREBY AGREE TO: 1. Delegate to the Home the authority and duties for services rendered in the application; 2. For and in consideration of the above-mentioned services, Juvenile Probation agrees to pay Homes 4 Good not more than the per diem rates based upon the Level of Care provided, in accordance with schedule of rates set by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission as currently effective or subsequently amended. Those rates as currently effective are as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 3. Level of care requirements. (Basic Care would include children that need structure, educational support, a higher level of supervision and the development of normalized ~tU L social skills) (Moderate and Specialized Care would be children that have physical, mental and emotional needs and behaviors that present more of a challenge. These children need physical environments and treatment programs in which most activities are therapeutically designed to improve social, emotional and educational adaptive behavior. These children may require psychological or psychiatric services which are integrated into the foster home to assess and monitor any type of treatment plans). 4 Receive from the Home a report of services rendered for each month or portions of a month, on cost per day for each child. 5 Each billing shall contain the Personal Identification Number (PID) of the Juvenile(s) for whom payment is being requested along with the number of Days (stated consecutively) for which payment is requested. Billing should begin no earlier than the Court ordered day of Disposition or Court Conditions of Release into the program to the end of the month and the first day of the month through the last day of the month thereafter. Payment will be made in the form of a check issued by the Brazos County Treasurer's Office no later than 30 days from receipt of original billing. Brazos County will not accept copies or faxed invoices. The original invoice is required for payment. No special exceptions will be made. Please do not call for status of payment unless past the 30 day time period. IV. HOMES FOR GOOD DOES HEREBYAGREE TO: 1. Homes 4 Good understands and agrees that clothing, medical, dental and other personal expenses of the juvenile that occur while in foster care will be ordered paid for by the parent/guardian of the child. The Homes 4 Good Foster Parents will be able to apply for Medicaid for a child Juvenile Services places in their home without using any of the Foster Parent Income to insure the child is eligible. This requires the completion of a short form to be returned to The Health and Human Services Commission in Bryan, Texas. (Contact person for questions about Medicaid coverage is Sharon Maass (979) 776-7457). As with any placement requirement, the child will have a physical exam and dental exam provided by Brazos County before being placed in foster care. (If medical or dental care is needed after being placed in foster care, the parent of the child or Medicaid will cover. The foster parents will inform the probation officer when the child needs care) 2. The Foster Parents understand and agree that the Probation Officer will be allowed to visit the juvenile in their home and they will also report to the probation department for visits with the probation officer. (Note: If a juvenile leaves the foster home without permission (runaway) the foster parent is to call the police and report them as a runaway then call and let the probation officer know. If this is after hours the foster family will then call and leave a voice mail message for the proper supervising officer, this can be done by calling detention or the officers direct line. In case of a mental health issue the foster parent will carry the child to the emergency room and notify MHMR and also notify the probation officer in the same manner.) When a Foster parent wants to travel out of the state with a juvenile in foster care they will need the probation officer to provide a travel permit for this travel. The travel permit will need to be requested 7 days in advance of traveling. 3. The Brazos County Juvenile Services will set up supervised visits with the Parent/guardian if necessary; these visits will occur at the probation department. This will be set out in the court order before the juvenile is placed in foster care. Juveniles may `10 2 also be allowed to go home for holidays or visits if approved by the probation officer and the court. The foster parents or Juvenile Services will provide transportation to and from the visits; parents or family members of the juvenile will not go to foster home. 4. Homes 4 Good agrees to report to the Brazos County Juvenile Services any allegation of abuse, neglect or exploitation made by youth placed in their Foster homes by Juvenile Services. This must be reported to Juvenile Services as soon as Homes 4 Good is notified, if after hours call and leave a voice mail message for proper supervising officer. 5. All notices to the Brazos County Juvenile Services Department shall be sent by certified or registered mail, addressed to: 1904 W. SH 21, Bryan, Texas 77803 to the Executive Director, Douglas Vance. Further each notice will be sent by certified or registered mail, addressed to 200 South Texas Avenue, Suite 332, Bryan, Texas 77803 to the Office of the County Judge, Randy Sims. V. TERMINATION 1.

This Agreement may be terminated: A. By either party upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party of the intention to terminate; or B. Upon expenditure of available funds. VI. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION, Each party expressly waives any and all rights it may have of subrogation to any claims or rights of its employees, agents, owners, officers, or subcontractors against the other party. VII. SEVERABILITY.

Title: tc~ Title: Office Manager Date: ~kfi Date:_ February 13, 2009 EXHIBIT A Irerracon Typical Scope of Services for Construction Materials Observation and Testing The proposed scope of services provided by Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) is described below. The purpose of these services is to observe various components of the construction and conduct specific tests to determine whether or not the materials and construction comply with the project requirements. These services are designed to provide a level of quality assurance (QA) for the client and are not intended to replace quality control tests and procedures required by the contractors and their suppliers. Terracon requires a complete set of construction plans and specifications approved for construction and any addenda or revisions approved during the construction process that would affect the construction related to the requested QA services. The Terracon scope of services may not meet all of the project requirements for construction observation and testing if the client retains Terracon to provide a lesser extent of services. The contractor has the responsibility to be familiarwith the project requirements and to contact Terracon a minimum of 24 hours (one business day) prior to the time our services will be required. We can not be responsible for providing specified services if the client does not authorize Terracon to provide the services or if the contractor does not provide adequate notification for our scheduling purposes. Terracon will provide construction observations and testing services requested by the client as described in our "Scope of Services" in general accordance with the normal standard of care. Our scope of services does not include any design, design review, construction safety, trench safety, construction supervision, or construction management services. Terracon personnel do not have the responsibility or authority to stop the contractor's work, or to accept or reject any construction materials or workmanship, even if they do not comply with the project requirements. A brief summary of scope of services that Terracon typically provides is shown below. 1. Earthwork - This item refers to placement and compaction of fill within the building limits, structural retaining walls, etc. The Terracon scope of services includes sampling and testing of soils, periodic observation of earthwork operations, and moisture and density testing of subgrade and compacted fills. 2.

Actual ending balance for December 2008 was $2,329,838.54 The average Earnings Credit Rate on checking account interest for the quarter ending 12/31/2008 was % netting $216,555.511 on an average depository balance of $82,937,411.02. Total year-to-date interest earned $226,864.99 Investment Strategy During this period of investing in an unstable economic environment, it seems prudent to protect County funds by keeping the majority of available funds in the County's depository where all funds are 110% collateralized. The County also maintains an investment account with Texpool which, though not collateralized, does provide the safety of an overnight market. As economists are anticipating a possible increase in the Fed rate, it does not seem prudent to invest in products with extended maturities. The investment of Brazos County Bond proceeds will require special consideration; otherwise, the County's investment strategy currently remains unchanged with a concentration of County funds in the Brazos County Depository. 113 , d-~ Summary of Portfolio Changes The deposit of interest is the only portfolio change to balances at this time and the Weighted Average Maturity of investments remains at 1 day due to the liquidity of funds invested with TexPool and on deposit at CitiBank of Texas.
