INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT
This agreement entered into by and between Nueces County Attorney's
Office and the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, with the approval of their
respective governing bodies.
WHEREAS, the position of Witness Coordinator in service at the
Nueces County Courthouse has been mutually beneficial to both City and
County Law Enforcement Agencies; and
WHEREAS, services rendered by the Witness Coordinator Program
have been directly beneficial to the County Attorney's Office and its
efforts to prosecute serious misdemeanor offenses; and
WHEREAS, economic realities are such that the salary of the
position of Witness Coordinator prior to this agreement was not sufficiently
competitive to allow for the hiring and retention of persons capable of
fully rendering the service of a Witness Coordinator; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the fact that many services rendered
by the Witness Coordinator though of benefit to City Law Enforcement
efforts are also directly beneficial to County Law Enforcement and, in
particular, the prosecution efforts of the Nueces County Attorney's Office:
NOW THEREFORE, be it agreed by and between the Police Department
of the City of Corpus Christi and the Nueces County Attorney's Office that
in consideration of the continuation of the program at a higher level of
pay than was originally budgeted, the Nueces County Attorney's Office
agrees to provide up to the sum of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per month
or Six hundred Dollars ($600.00) per quarter payable in advance to reim-
burse the City of Corpus Christi for additional expenses directly related
to the services of the Witness Coordinator as they are rendered to the
Nueces County Attorney's Office. It is understood that the funds so
provided are out of the discretionary fund provided by Article 53.08 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure and do constitute an expense of the office
of County Attorney. It is further understood that this agreement in no
O
way binds the County of Nueces but constitutes an encumbrance soley upon
the funds provided by Article 53.08, C.C.P. It is further understood
that this agreement is cancellable on notice in writing of either party
with sixty (60) days notice, or upon the death, resignation, or other
