As a private citizen, however, with work experience in a quasi judicial federal regulatory agency, I would like to offer the following comments: 1. 1 believe that the concept of one defendant, one prosecutor, one judge, and one defense attorney is judicially sound and fiscally respx)nsible. 2. There is considerable merit in Judge Delaney's suggestion that the offices of the County Attorney and District Attorney may remain separate, but have all felony/misdemeanor cases assigned to the District Attorney's Office, leaving the misdemeanor-only cases to the County Attorney's Office, along with its other functions. 3. The duties of the County Attorney's Office should include those of legal counsel to County Commissioner's Court and other county departments. The practice of the County Commissioners' Court of retaining a private law firm to obtain legal advice is open to conflict of interest problems, or the appearance thereof, which is not in the public interest. If upgrading the expertise of the County Attorney's staff is necessary to effectively perform this function, then it should be done. j iJ. f• T•, :t BRAZOS COUNTY, TEXAS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND MINOR ACQUISITION POLICY 1. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES A capital expenditure must be $1,000.00 or more with a life expectancy of three or more years. The funds for the purchase of all capital expenditures for all departments are placed in the county's "General Capital Improvement Fund." • All departments are required to follow the county's purchasing policy when acquiring capital assets. • Capital asset purchases are approved during the budget process. Each item to be purchased-is identified with a maximum dollar value to be expended. • At the time of purchase, if the item corresponds to the approved budget (quantity to be purchased, description and budgeted amount), it is not necessary for the purchase order to be processed/approved by the Commissioners Court. • If the request for purchase deviates from the approved budget - by exceeding the approved dollar amount, is not the specific item approved, or is a different quantity - the requisition MUST be submitted to Commissioners Court for approval. • During the fiscal year, should the need arise to purchase items that were not itemized and approved in the budget, all requests MUST go through Commissioners Court for approval before the purchase can be made. • Departments that are not supported by county funds are not required to submit their capital expenditure purchases to Commissioners Court (i.e., Adult Probation, Health Department, Metropolitan Planning Organization and Juvenile Justice Department). These departments are still required to submit the proper quotes and/or bids to insure compliance with state statutes, county purchasing policies and established county accounting procedures. 401 ma pr! v ~ II MINOR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS • C~ A minor capital acquisition has a value less than $1,000.00. A minor capital asset is an item that i$ less than $1,000.00 in value and is accounted for as an operating expense for which an elected official and/or department head will be held accountable. These items will appear in the department's fixed asset ledger with no value. • All departments are required to follow the county's purchasing policy when acquiring minor assets. • Minor capital purchases are approved during the budget process. Each item to be purchased is identified with a maximum dollar value to be expended. • At the time of purchase, if the item corresponds to the approved budget (quantity to be purchased, description and budgeted amount), it is not necessary for the purchase requisition to be processed/approved by the Commissioners Court. • If the purchase deviates from the approved budget (quantity, description, cost), the requisition MUST be submitted to Commissioners Court for approval. • During the fiscal year, should the need arise to purchase items that were no itemized and approved in the budget, all requests MUST go through Commissioners Court for approval before the purchase can be made. III. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES TO MINOR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS • If a budgeted capital expenditure item will actually cost less than $1,000.00 at the time of purchase, it is no longer considered a capital asset. • The department will be responsible for notifying the County Judge and the County Auditor of this situation. • The County Auditor, at the request of the County Judge, will prepare a budget amendment to transfer funds from the Capital Expenditure Fund to the department's operating account. • Once the budget amendment has been approved by Commissioners Court, Purchasing may proceed with the acquisition. i r AMENDMENT EIGHT TO THE BRAZOS COUNTY EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLAN STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF BRAZOS BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, a Notary Public in and for said county and state, personally came and appeared Brazos County represented by Alvin W. Jones who declared that Brazos County Employee Benefits Plan, previously established, is hereby amended as follows: ARTICLE I, CO-PAY PLAN, SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS, Page 5, CO-PAY under Maximum Calendar Year Benefit, the separate Spinal Column Treatment maximum is deleted and now made part of the Physical/Occupational Therapy Benefit Maximum: Physical/Occupational Therapy Benefit and/or Spinal Column Treatment (combined) ...................60 days ARTICLE IV, CONTINUATION OF COVERAGE, CO-PAY AND DEDUCTIBLE PLANS, is hereby restated in its entirety: CONSOLIDATED OMNIBUS BUDGET RECONCILIATION ACT (COBRA) CONTINUATION COVERAGE A. Eligibility for Coverage under COBRA If a Participant's coverage under this Plan terminates because of a "Qualifying Event", and the Participant was covered under the Plan on the day before the Qualifying Event, the Plan will offer the Participant the opportunity to continue coverage as a "Qualified Beneficiary" in compliance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (COBRA). A *Qualified Beneficiary" is an Employee, Spouse and/or Dependent Child who was covered under this Plan on the day before a Qualifying Event, and who loses coverage as a result of the Qualifying Event. A Child who is born to the covered Employee, or who is placed for adoption with the covered Employee, during a period of COBRA continuation coverage is also a Qualified Beneficiary. I 1 (Amrndmau Ei q • r ~ __.w.~__:.....a..c........_.~.~.~__•_Asa...c_,.t.~~...c~.~....sL:..~~.. ~t.a~~l~. ~..a i. 1 1 • A "Qualifying Event" for a Participant is any of the following which results in a loss of coverage for that Participant- 1) Termination of the Employee's employment for reasons other than gross misconduct; 2) Reduction in the Employee's working hours to the extent that the Employee is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan; 3) The Employee's death; 4) Divorce or legal separation of the Employee from the Employee's Spouse; 5) The Employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act; 6) A Dependent Child no longer satisfies the Plan's definition of "Dependent Child"; 7) A proceeding in bankruptcy under Title 1 I of the United States Code with respect to the Employer from whose employment a covered employee retired at any time. • If any of the events listed in 1) through 7) immediately above results in an increase in contribution which a Participant must pay to remain covered under the Plan, that increase in contribution will also be considered a Qualifying Event and a loss of coverage. Coverage under COBRA will be identical to coverage offered under the Plan to similarly-situated Employees, as such coverage under the Plan may change from time to time. Each Qualified Beneficiary under COBRA shall have all the rights of an Employee under the Plan, including the right to enroll dependents, if such right is given to Employees; however, other than a child born to the Employee or placed for adoption with the Employee during a period of COBRA continuation coverage, any such dependent so enrolled, who was not covered under the Plan on the day prior to the initial Qualifying Event, although eligible for coverage under COBRA, shall not have the status of Qualified Beneficiary. B. Initial Notification of a Qualifying Event If the Qualifying Event is a divorce or legal separation, or a Dependent Child no longer satisfying the Plan's definition of "Dependent Child", the Qualified Beneficiary eligible for COBRA as a result of such Qualifying Event must notify the Plan Administrator of the Qualifying Event, in writing, within sixty (60) days of (a) the Qualifying Event, or (b) the date on which coverage is lost as a result of the Qualifying Event, whichever is later. If the Plan Administrator is not so 0 ~O7 notified, the Qualified Beneficiary may not enroll in COBRA. In the event of a divorce or legal separation, notice sent to the Plan Administrator by any one of the Participants for whom the divorce or legal separation constitutes a Qualifying Event will be considered notice sent on behalf of all such Participants. For all other Qualifying Events, the Employer will notify the Plan Administrator of a Qualified Beneficiary's Qualifying Event within thirty (30) days of such event. The Plan Administrator will then notify all Qualified Beneficiaries, in writing, of their rights to continue coverage under COBRA, within fourteen (14) days following the thirty-day period specified above in this paragraph. C. Electing COBRA If a Qualified Beneficiary wishes to enroll in COBRA, he must so notify the Plan Administrator, in writing, within (60) days of the date the Plan Administrator mails written notification of the right to continue coverage, except that if loss of coverage occurs after the date of the Qualifying Event, the sixty (60) days shall be counted from the date coverage is lost. An election is considered to be made on the date it is mailed to the Plan Administrator. Each Qualified Beneficiary may make his own independent election to receive or not receive COBRA coverage. If an Employee or a Spouse of an Employee, which such person is a Qualified Beneficiary, elects COBRA and does not specify his election is self-only, the election will be deemed to include election of COBRA for all Qualified Beneficiaries with respect to that Qualifying Event. An election on behalf of a minor child may be made by the child's parent or legal guardian An election on behalf of a Qualified Beneficiary who is incapacitated or deceased may be made by the legal representative or the estate of the Qualified Beneficiary, as determined under applicable state law, or by the spouse of the Qualified Beneficiary. If notice of election is not sent to the Plan Administrator within the period specified in the paragraph immediately above, the Qualified Beneficiary may not enroll in COBRA. A Participant who waives his right to COBRA during the initial 60-day period discussed in the first paragraph of this Section may, at any time during such 60-day period, revoke his waiver and enroll in COBRA; however, coverage under COBRA will be effective as of the date the revocation of the waiver is sent to the Plan Administrator, and will not be made retroactive to the date coverage would have been in effect had the waiver not been made. The right to revoke a waiver expires at the end of the initial 60-day period discussed above in this Section. 3 (Amadmant FJBtu) yr.r.l A, D. Payment for COBRA • The cost to a Qualified Beneficiary for COBRA coverage shall be 102% of the Employer's cost, or 150% of the Employer's cost during an 11-month extension for disability (as explained below), for such coverage. A Qualified Beneficiary's first payment for COBRA is due forty-five (45) days after the date of his election. All subsequent payments are due within thirty (30) days of the first day of coverage such payment represents, or within the period of time allowed under the Plan for covered Employees, whichever is later. Payment is considered to be made on the date on which it is sent to the Plan. Failure to pay any contributions due within the timeframes specified in this Section will result in cancellation of COBRA coverage, such cancellation to be effective as of the end of the last day for which coverage has been paid. COBRA does not require that the Qualified Beneficiary be notified in the event cancellation of COBRA coverage has occurred. E. Length of COBRA Coverage (1) For Covered Employees, Spouses and Dependent Children • 0 If the Qualifying Event is an Employee's termination of employment for reasons other than gross misconduct, or reduction in hours worked to the extent that the Employee is no longer eligible for coverage under the Plan, COBRA may be continued for up to eighteen (18) months for all Participants who become Qualified Beneficiaries as a result of such event. If a Qualified Beneficiary is disabled on the day of either Qualifying Event discussed in the paragraph immediately above, or becomes disabled during the first sixty (60) days of COBRA coverage, COBRA coverage for all Qualified Beneficiaries in the disabled Qualified Beneficiary's family may be continued for an additional eleven (11) months beyond the original eighteen (18) months, regardless of whether or not the disabled individual himself elects the 11-month extension. As used herein, "disabled" means the Qualified Beneficiary has been determined under Title 2 or Title 16 of the Social Security Act to be disabled. The "first sixty (60) days of COBRA coverage" is counted from the date of the Qualifying Event or the date coverage would actually be lost, whichever is later. For the 11 -month extension to apply, the Qualified Beneficiary must notify the Plan Administrator, in writing, of the determination of disability, such notification to be within the initial 18-month period of COBRA, and not more than sixty (60) days after the date on which the determination was made by the Social Security Administration. If the disabled Qualified Beneficiary is later determined by the Social Security Administration to no ~4 (Amrndmeiit-~Faght) 9 longer be disabled, he must so notify the Plan Administrator, in writing, within thirty (30) days of such re-determination. If the re-determination occurs during the initial eighteen (18) months of COBRA, coverage may continue until the end of the eighteen (18) months. If the re-determination occurs during the 11-month extension, coverage will cease for all Qualified Beneficiaries as of the month that begins more than thirty (30) days after the date of the re-determination. If a Qualified Beneficiary first becomes disabled more than sixty (60) days after COBRA has begun, or fails to notify the Plan Administrator as explained above within the 18-month period, the 11-month extension does not apply. (2) For Spouses and Dependent Children If the Qualifying Event is other than the two specified in (1) directly above, COBRA coverage may be continued for up to thirty-six (36) months for any Spouse or Dependent Child(ren) who become Qualified Beneficiaries as a result of such Qualifying Event. (3) Multiple Qualifying Events I€a second Qualifying Event occurs during COBRA coverage, in no event will coverage under COBRA be extended beyond a maximum of thirty-six (36) months from the date of the initial Qualifying Event. Termination of employment following the Qualifying Event of reduction in hours is not a second Qualifying Event. F. Early Termination of COBRA Coverage COBRA coverage shall terminate earlier than the 18-, 29- and 36- month time periods given in this Section if any of the following occur: (1) The Employer ceases to offer any group health plan (including successor plans) to any employee (COBRA will terminate on the day such coverage ceases); or (2) The first day for which timely payment is not made to the plan with respect to the Qualified Beneficiary (COBRA will terminate on the last day of the period for which contributions have been made); or (3) The Qualified Beneficiary becomes entitled to Medicare, provided such entitlement first occurs after the date of the election (COBRA will terminate on the date of entitlement); or -ot .-Sk , t~ght> i 0 0 (4) The Qualified Beneficiary becomes covered under another group health plan, in any capacity, even if that other coverage is of lesser value, provided such coverage first becomes effective after the date COBRA continuation has been elected, and provided the plan does not limit coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions which apply to the Qualified Beneficiary, or has such limits but such limits do not apply to the Qualified Beneficiary because of Creditable Coverage (COBRA will terminate on the date coverage under the other plan becomes effective). In addition, COBRA coverage for a Qualified Beneficiary may be terminated at any time for cause, to the degree coverage for a similarly-situated Employee's coverage under the Plan may be terminated for cause. If an individual who is not a Qualified Beneficiary is receiving COBRA coverage solely because of his relationship to a Qualified Beneficiary, that individual's coverage under COBRA will cease at the same time as the Qualified Beneficiary's coverage ceases. Such loss of COBRA coverage shall not constitute a Qualifying Event. G. Interpretation This Article reflects the latest interpretations of the IRS rulings; however, if the IRS ruling or interpretation should change, this Plan will automatically be amended to reflect any such change under the COBRA legislation.
