Re: Automated Citation Management

Commissioner Jerry Cassity
The Polk County Sheriffs Office has received a generous donation in the amount of $25,456.00
from the Alabama Coushatta Tribal Council to support the purchase of an automated citation
management system, including ticket writers and the associated operating software.
The Sheriffs Office proposes to allocate $10,000.00 from asset forfeiture funds toward the
purchase of ten (10) ticket writer software packages with printers. The remaining costs will be
supported through existing and future funding.
The system carries an ongoing annual cost of $15,345.00, which can be incorporated into the
Sheriffs Office operating budget in future fiscal years.
This technology will improve efficiency, accuracy, and record management for citation
processing and will enhance overall operational effectiveness.

STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO IMPROVE COUNTY ROAD
INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY
WHEREAS, Texas Counties are the functional arm ofstate government and are responsible for the
operationand maintenance of local transportationinfrastructure, maintaining morethan halfofall
publicroad milesintheStateofTexasandensuringsafeandefficienttravelforresidents, businesses,
and emergency services; and
WHEREAS, the State Motor Fuels Tax, established in 1923 and last adjusted to twenty cents per
gallon in 1991, currently generates approximately $3.85 billion annually, of which one-fourth is
dedicated tothe Available School Fundandthe remaining three-fourths tothe State Highway Fund,
withonlyasmallportion - $7.3million- allocated totheCountyand Road DistrictHighway Fund
(also known as the Lateral Road Fund); and
WHEREAS, this allocation to Texas counties has remained unchanged since 1954despite decades
of population growth, inflation, and increasing transportation demands that have significantly
reduced the purchasing power ofcounties to maintain essential local infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the proposed legislationwouldallocate one penny (one-twentieth, or 5%)ofthe State
Motor FuelsTax totheCountyand Road DistrictHighwayFundto bedistributed usingthe existing
statutoryformula; and
WHEREAS, the State ofTexas has also established additional registration fees forelectric vehicles
- $400 at initial registration and $200 annually thereafter - to offset the reduced motor fuels tax
revenues associated with non-fuel consuming vehicles; and
WHEREAS, while the fees are currently directed entirely to the State Highway Fund, counties
receive no portion ofthis new revenue source, despite being equally responsible for maintaining and
improving the localroadways on which these vehicles travel; and
WHEREAS,acompanion legislative proposal woulddedicate5%(one-twentieth)ofelectric vehicle
registration fee revenue to the County and Road District Highway Fund, thereby ensuring that
counties shareequitably inthe revenue derived from all classes ofvehicles using county roadways;
and
WHEREAS, increasing allocations from both the motor fuels tax and electric vehicle registration
fees would provide a sustainable, pay-as-you-go funding mechanism for county transportation
infrastructure without increasing tax rates or imposing new burdens on taxpayers, ensuring a fairer,
more efficient partnership between state and county governments in maintaining the Texas
transportation network.

STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO EXEMPT TEXAS COUNTIES FROM
THE STATE HOTEL OCCUPANCYTAX
WHEREAS, Texas Counties arethe functional arm ofstate government and are responsible for the
operation and management ofnumerous state programs as required or authorized by state law; and
WHEREAS, Texas Counties provide essentialstate services to constituents at the local level, many
ofwhich are fully or partially supported with funds disbursed by the State ofTexas throughthe state
appropriations process; and
WHEREAS, Texas Counties are required by state law to provide for the continuing education and
professional development of county officials and employees, often requiring travel and overnight
stays that are subject to the State ofTexas Hotel Occupancy Tax; and
WHEREAS, the State ofTexas currently exempts from the Hotel Occupancy Tax several entities,
including federal agencies, state government officials and employees, and certain charitable,
educational, and religious organizations, but does not exempt county governments, their officials, or
employees; and
WHEREAS, when counties, as political subdivisions ofthe State, pay the State Hotel Occupancy
Tax from revenues generated through localproperty taxes, it results inan inefficient practice known
as "tax churn," in which one taxing entity collects taxes from another taxing entity, ultimately
increasing the financial burden on local property taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, exempting Texas Counties from the State Hotel Occupancy Tax would reduce this
inefficiency, improve governmental accountability, and help alleviate the impact of rising local
property taxes on Texas citizens; and
WHEREAS, the exemption would further align counties with other government and nonprofit
entities alreadyrecognized understatelawasexempt fi*om thistax,ensuring consistentandequitable
tax treatment across all public entities.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County CommissionersCourt does herebyfind
that it is in the best interest ofTexas counties and their taxpayers to support and favor the passageof
legislationthat exempts counties, their officials, and employees from payingthe State ofTexas Hotel
OccupancyTax whentraveling on official county business.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy ofthis resolution be forwarded to the members ofthe
Texas Legislature representing this county and tothe Texas Association ofCounties fordistribution
and advocacy in supportofthis legislation.
