SUBJECT:
Interlocal Agreement With Cedar Valley College
Background Information
The Sheriff's Training Academy has been approached by Cedar Valley College to enter into an
interlocal agreement allowing the Sheriff's Academy to provide continuing education training
under the umbrella of Cedar Valley College.
.
Cedar Valley College receives $3.03 from the Texas Workforce Commission for every contact
hour of continuing education instruction they provide, This interlocal agreement would allow
our department to function as an extension of Cedar Valley College. Cadets, officers, and
telecommunicators attending training at our academy would be enrolled in Cedar Valley
College continuing education training.
Our department would receive funds in the amount of $1.00 for every contact hour of training
(per stUdent) that occurs in the approved courses plus a support fee of $20 per class, up to a
maximum of $25,000 annually. The agreement stipUlates that these funds be designated for
the Sheriff's Academy training program.
Additionally cadets, officers, and telecommunicators attending basic and in-service training at
our academy would receive continuing education credit through Cedar Valley College. These
credits can be converted to college hours at various colleges.
Impact on Operations and Maintenance
This agreement would have a positive impact on the Department and its employees. It would
provide additional funding for Sheriff's Department training in the amount of approximately
$25,000 annually, and it provides continuing education credit for employees training at the
Sheriffs Academy which can be converted to college credit at various colleges.
Our department's responsibilities consist of intemal quality controls and record-keeping
functions that we currently perform, and the reporting of our training rosters to Cedar Valley
College. The Academy will not be required to amend its admission standards.

Legal Impact
This type of agreement is currently in place between the Dallas Police Department and EI
Centro College, and between the DeSoto Fire Department and Cedar Valley College. We
have been approached by North Lake College regarding this type of agreement, but we
declined since we had already begun the process with Cedar Valley College.
This proposed agreement has been reviewed and approved by the Dallas County Community
College Legal Department and the District Attomey's Office.
Financial Impact I Considerations
It is anticipated that the Sheriff's Department Training Section would benefit the maximum
allowed of $25,000 annually based on the following projections for fiscal year 2007:
•
Basic Peace Officer Course - 2 classes of 25 cadets receiving 850 hours of training =
42,500 contact hours
•
Basic Jailer Course - 8 classes of 30 cadets recEliving 160 hours of training = 38,400
contact hours
•
In-Service Training - 1500 officers receiving an average of 8 hours of training = 12,000
contact hours
It is our understanding that the Texas Workforce Commission fiscal year is March to February.
One check is cut by Texas Workforce Commission to Cedar Valley College annually. Cedar
Valley College would then cut a check to the Sheriff's Department for our portion. There is
also some lag between the end of the fiscal year and the receipt of funds.
The only additional responsibility for the Sheriff's Department associated with this agreement
would be Academy staff transmitting our training rosters to Cedar Valley College either via
facsimile or electronically. We anticipate no additional cost for this process.
Performance Measures Impact
The Training Section's Performance Measures are related to three things: amount of training,
effectiveness of training, and cost of training. It is anticipated that each of these facets will
benefit frOm this agreement. More officers will be motivated to attend In-Service training (with
supervisor approval or on their own time) due to the continuing education credit. The
effectiveness of training will be positively impacted through the infusion of additional funds
which can be used to purchase instructor time, as well as equipment, hardware, software, and
media. Finally, the cost of trllining (impact on the general fund and LEaSE funds) will be
positively impacted by the additional Texas Workforce Commission funding.
Project Schedule Ilmplemen!ation
Following approval by the Dallas County Commissioners Court this agreement must be
approved by the Dallas County Community College Board of Trustees. It is our goal to have
this agreement in place by March 1, 2007.

first twelve (12) month of Bid No. 200S-011-lS87 Annual Contract for Janitorial Services for Various Dallas
County Facilities, for the period of January 01, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the contract was
subsequently extended to February 28, 2007, with Court Order 2006-2297. cn Maintenance, Inc., was
awarded the George L. Allen, Sf. Courts Building, Records Building Complex, and Administration Building.

.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT
This contract provides daily janitorial services. The Court of Appeals - Sth District of Texas at Dallas recently
terminated janitorial services with their current vendor due to poor performance. These services were solicited
under an annual quote. The Court of Appeals - Sth District of Texas at Dallas is located on the 2nd Floor of the
George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building and has approximately 26,880 square feet of cleanable space. CTJ
Maintenance, Inc., has agreed to provide janitorial services to the Court of Appeals - Sth District of Texas at
Dallas at rate of$.OS3/square foot or $1,424.64/month. The square footage rate is based on the current contact
rate for janitorial services at the George L. Allen, Sf. Courts Building. A new solicitation for services at the
George L. Allen, Sf. Courts Building has been developed and will include this space.
LEGAL IMPACT
Texas Local Government Code 262.031(a) Changes in Plans and Specifications, allows the Commissioners
Court to make changes to specifications after a contract is made up to 2S% of the original contract amount.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The original contract value for the George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building was $14,400.00 monthly and the
changes to the specifications total $1,424.64 monthly, which represents a 9.89% increase from the original
contract value.
RECOMMENDATION
The Purchasing Department, with the concurrence of Court of Appeals - Sth District of Texas at Dallas,
recommends that the Commissioners Court authorize the modifications to 200S-0 11-IS87 Annual Contract for
Janitorial Services for Various Locations as allowed under Texas Local Government Code 262.031 (a) to
include janitorial services to the Court of Appeals - Sth District of Texas at Dallas.

Insurance: Bid No. 2006-132-2277 Annual Contract for the Purchase of Janitorial Supplies
Background/Issue
On November 14,2006, the Dallas County Commissioners Court with Court Order 2006-2041, authorized the
partial award of Bid No. 2006-132-2277 Annual Contract for the Purchase of Janitorial Supplies to various
vendors. Jernigan CSA was awarded several items under this solicitation request. The purpose of this briefing is
to request the release of payment to Jernigan CSA.
Operational Impact
Jernigan CSA provides various janitorial supplies items to Dallas County on an as needed/requested basis. On
December II, 2006, Jernigan CSA delivered 1,200 cases of laundry soap powder to the Facilities Management
Supply Division. A requirement of the contract is that the vendor must provide and maintain general liability
insurance coverage only. Jernigan CSA's original general liability coverage expired on September 09,2006, which
created a lapse of coverage. A new general liability policy has been issued and the certificate provided to Dallas
County which reflects a coverage period of January 05, 2007 through January 05, 2008. As a result ofthe lapse in
insurance coverage, the Auditor's Office is currently withholding payments in the amount of$28,884.00 for items
delivered during the lapse period pending formal direction/action.
Jernigan CSA has acknowledged and takes full responsibility of the lack insurance coverage on their part and has
corrected upon notification by Dallas County. Jernigan CSA is awarded eight (8) items under this contract with the
laundry soap powder being the largest volume item.
Jernigan CSA has agreed to execute the attached release and waiver of claims agreement for the lapse period and
this documentation will be included with final court order.
Recommendation
The Purchasing Department recommends that Commissioners Court authorize a waiver of the general liability
insurance requirement for the period of November 14, 2006 through January 4, 2007, and a release of all
payments due.

bear Commissioners Court,
Jemig(jll CSA pleas for your forgiveness in having a lapse in our Gencral Liability coverage for the
months of October, November (jIld becember 2006. In order to satisfy all insur(jllce requirements, our
agent has beenawaiiing a Certificate of Insurance from the manufacturer of the Surf. We thought this
had been tJken care of, but due to our oversight in follow up it had not. Our GL in now in place
(attached).
Upon receiving the first order for the above referenced bid, our ultimate goal was to serve Dallas
County by performing our part in supplying the laundry soap powder. As a certified Small Minority
Disadvantaged Women Owned Business, we can't afford not to receive our invoice paid on time.
This causes a huge [mandaI burden for our company and possibly further repercussions down the
road.
This is our plea. This is our prayer.

BACKGROUND/ISSUE
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791 (referred to as the Interlocal Cooperation Act) authorizes interlocal
agreements between local governments for the purchase of goods and services. The statute states that
these agreements satisfy the requirement for local governments to seek competitive bids. Dallas County
has interlocal agreements with several cities, counties and other agencies for cooperative purchasing. The
City of Fort Worth has requested to execute a master interlocal agreement with Dallas County and Dallas
County has identified several contracts awarded by the City of Fort Worth that could be beneficial to the
County. The purpose of this briefing is to recommend the approval of this interlocal agreement.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT
Under the proposed master agreement, each entity can utilize a contract awarded by the other. The
Purchasing Department will provide a list of current contracts to the City of Fort Worth for their review.
The City of Fort Worth has provided a list of their existing contract to Dallas County. Each entity will be
responsible for detennining which contracts will be utilized. At this time, the City of Fort Worth
anticipates utilizing Dallas County's contracts for janitorial services and supplies. Dallas County is
reviewing the City of Fort Worth's contract for lamps and electrical supplies. This contract has a lamp
that is utilized extensively in the new addition of the George Allen building that is not available under an
existing contract at a competitive price.
LEGAL IMPACT
The attached master interlocal agreement was originally drafted by the Dallas County District Attorney's
Office, CivifDivision and modified to reflect the reciprocal nature of this agreement (each entity using
the other's contracts). The City of Fort Worth has approved this agreement. The tenn of the agreement is
for five years from the date of Dallas County's execution. The agreement can be tenninated by either
party with thirty (30) days written notice.
RECOMMENDAnON
The Purchasing Department recommends that Commissioners Court approve the attached master
interlocallcooperative purchasing agreement with the City of Fort Worth and authorize the County Judge
to sign the agreement on behalf of Dallas County.

Inmate Phone Service
op~~s
~~~l~,
~
Background of Issue
Inmate phone service is provided through two agreements. One with AT&T for local service and
the second with MCI for long distance.
The AT&T contract is a licensing agreement first awarded in 1993. The current commission rate is
55% from which approximately $3.5 million was received last year. Under this contract, a call cost
$4.10 for up to 15 minutes. The agreement expires on April 20, 2007 and has three annual extension
options remaining. Mutual consent is required to execute these extensions but AT&T has advised
the County they do not intend to renew the agreement (see attachment I).
The MCI contract was competively bid and awarded in 2002. The commission rate is 56.5% and last
year's proceeds were approximately $300,000. Under this contract, an average long distance is about
$9.00. This agreement is in its last extension and will expire on May 13, 2007.
As both agreements will soon expire, this briefing examines options for providing inmate phone
servIce.
Impact ou Operations
A number of options exist for providing inmate phone service. Staff has evaluated the following
options:
1. Continue with AT&T. The non-renewal notification included a proposal to continue to
provide local service.
2. Continue the present commission structure through new contract(s).
3. Eliminate commissions and provide service at reduced rates.
4. Provide the service with County-owned systems.
509 Main Street
•
Suite 608
Dallas, Texas 75202
54
Each option is evaluated below:
Option 1. Continue with AT&T.
AT&T is proposing to continue to provide inmate phone services under the same tenns and
conditions of the expiring agreement with two exceptions: service will be provided as a month-tomonth arrangement which may be tenninated upon thirty (30) days notice and the commission rate
will be reduced to 25%.
Under this proposal, the call rate would remain at the current level ,$4.10, only the commission rate
would change. The 30 day notice does not provide sufficient time should another provider be
required and the 30% decrease in the commission rate would decrease the County'S proceeds from
this contract by almost $2 million a year.
Option 2. Continue the present commission structure.
AT&T has entered into a contract with Global Tel-Link (GTL) to assume the inmate phone contracts
that AT&T is not renewing (see attachment 2). GTL has forwarded a proposal to the County for
AT&T with County approval to assign the County's contract to GTL. This proposal contains three
options. Under the first, GTL would assume the existing contract's three remaining annual renewals.
The 55% commission rate will apply with a $75,000 one time signing bonus. The second option
calls for a firm three year agreement with three annual renewal options. For this, GTL will pay a
57% commission rate and a one time signing bonus of $1 00,000. This would generate additional
annual revenues of about $125,000. Both of the first options are for local service only. GTL also
included a third option which covers both local service and long distance. This will also be a three
year agreement with three annual renewal options. In consideration for including the long distance,
GTL will pay a 59% commission and a $100,000 one time signing bonus. This would generate
additional annual revenue ofmore than $250,000. Each ofthe three options would retain Ascension
Communications. The GTL commission offer appears at attachment 3. A complete copy ofthe GTL
proposal was provided to the Civil Section ofthe District Attorney's Office and copies are available
for Court members to review, if so desired.
The current commission structure could also be maintained by issuing an RFP for these services.
However, in accordance the Attorney General's Letter Opinion No. 97-030 contracts for these
services do not have to be bid. Staff does not anticipate offers higher than the 59%. If such
commissions were offered, they would quite probably be supported through higher call rates and
based upon the County's previous experience with other inmate phone providers, it may not be
possible for smaller companies to sustain such payments. With the completion of the pending
acquisition of the inmate platfonn of MCI and Verizon, GTL will be the largest provider in the
industry. Through reassigning the existing contract, the County will receive a platfonn that equals or
exceeds all capabilities ofthe current platfonn. The proposed commission rate of59% exceeds any
contracted rate in the State and GTL has a number of contracts equal to or greater in size than the
Dallas County contract. A RFP is unlikely to produce any substantive benefits.
Option 3. Eliminate commissions.
In response to Staff inquiries, AT&T has offered to reduce the cost of inmate calls if the County
would forgo all commissions. This would reduce the cost of a local call from $4. I 0 to $2.00. For
long distance calls, they are proposing a rate of$2.00 plus $.2975 per minute on Interstate calls and
$3.95 plus $.89 per minute on Intrastate calls. While this represents a savings on local calls and
509 Main Street
Suite 608
Dallas, Texas 75202
55
Interstate, there is little or no difference in the proposed Intrastate rates and those currently paid. The
offer appears at attachment 4. GTL has also indicated they would support this capability.
Option 4. County Provides Service.
Providing service at no cost would apply to local calls only as there would be charges for long
distance calls but no means of billing them. As such, a separate contract for long distance service
would be required. The equipment necessary to provide inmate phone service was quoted at
$831,120.10 (see attachment 5). Additionally, in order to provide sufficient lines to support the
current volume of calls, monthly recurring costs of$17,500 would be incurred. This option is not a
feasible alternative.
Financial Considerations
Option I. Continuing with AT&T would decrease annual commissions by about $2,000,000 without
a decrease in the cost of an inmate call.
Option 2. The GTL assumption of the AT&T contract could increase annual commissions as much
as $250,000 with a signing bonus of$75,000 - $100,000. Annual commissions would total more
than $4,000,000.
Option 3 & 4. These options would eliminate commissions in their entirety. Option 3 would reduce
the cost oflocal inmate calls and option 4 would provide local calls at no cost. However, option 4
would cost over a $1,000,000 in the first year and more than $200,000 annually thereafter.
Legal Considerations
Attorney General Letter Opinion No. 97-030 confirms commissioners court ability to enter into a
contract with a private vendor to provide telephone services to county jail inmates without a
competitive bid. The Civil Section ofthe District Attorney's office researched recent legislation and
opinions and determined there have been no changes since the opinion was issued.
The Civil Section also reviewed the GTL offer to assume the AT&T contract.
Recommendations
I. Include local and long distance in the same contract.
2. Ifthe Court wishes to reduce the cost of a call for inmates, option 3 (eliminate commissions and
provide service at reduced rates) is the best choice.
3. If the Court wishes to maintain the current commission structure, option 2 (assignment of
contract to GTL) is the best option.
NOTE: These recommendations make reduced call rates and commissions mutually exclusive. If
the court desires, Staff can be authorized to negotiate reducing the cost of calls and retaining some
level of commissions.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P., formerly doing business in Texas as SBC Texas, now d/b/a AT&T
Texas ("AT&T"), has valued our relationship with Dallas County ("County"). As you are probably aware,
the current term of the Dallas County License Agreement for Placement oflnmate Telephone Equipment
dated and effective May 23, 1995 ("Agreement") will expire on April 20, 2007 ("Termination Date"). The
Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one (I) year term unless exception is taken by either
party thirty (30) days prior to this date. Please be advised and consider this letter formal notice pursuant to
Section VIII of the Agreement, that AT&T does!!£!. intend to renew the Agreement for a second renewal
term, and hereby cancels the auto renewal term. Consequently, the Agreement will terminate on the above
referenced Termination Date.
AT&T is proposing, however, effective April 21, 2007, to continue inmate pay phones service to the
County on a month-to-month basis. AT&T's provisioning of inmate pay phones services to County on a
month-to-month basis will proceed under the same terms and conditions of the expiring Agreement, with
the exception of the following:
this month-to-month arrangement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the other party.
the commission set forth in Section II (b), as amended by Court Order 2005 1363
dated July 26, 2005, on local and intraLATA calls will be reduced to twenty-five
percent (25%). No other forms of compensation such as signing bonus, prepaid
commission, or any other payments shall apply.
If County prefers for service to be discontinued instead of being provided on a month-to-month basis,
please provide me with notice to that effect and we will coordinate the removal (or transition to a third party
provider) of AT&T's equipment.
If you happen to have any questions or comments about this communication, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (972) 647-3462.
Sincerely,
Sherman Hennington

Full Disclosure of Per-Call Charges
GTL is well aware of the current market environment to offer fair rates to the families and
friends of your inmates. GTL offers prepay options to help families control their expenditures
and offers the County a firm commitment to our core value of Corporate Integrity. We provide
full disclosure of our per-call charges and pay commission on every dollar of prepaid, as well as
collect, charges. We strongly encourage the County to closely look at per-call charges for other
inmate telephone suppliers. They often include additional charges to the inmate family and
friends for certain technical features and no commission is paid on these charges. In effect,
these suppliers are adding significant and unnecessary burden to the inmates' families with no
additional benefit to the facility.
GTL also cautions the County to carefully review purported "discounts' offered by other vendors
on prepaid calls. In these cases a vendor may offer one rate for all call types (local, intralata,
interlata, interstate). While this may represent a small savings on long distance calls - it may
significantly increase the local call rate to the consumer - sometimes as much as five-fold. This
is particularly problematic since, in most county facilities, local calls represent a disproportionate
percentage of the total calls.
At the request and approval of the facility, GTL can offer a discount off our normal collect call
rates on prepaid calls - including our local call rates. These discounts are designed to be
flexible and GTL will work with the facility to determine how best to structure any prepay
discounts.

Subject:
Implementation of Tools to Manage / Restrict Internet Usage
BACKGROUND
Dallas County officials have recognized the importance of the internet as a tool used to gather
infonnation, take advantage of E-commerce, provide services to the citizens of Dallas County,
etc.
The Commissioners Court approved Court Order #2004 132 (January 20,2004) which
authorized the award of Internet Connectivity to SBC Communications, Inc. (now AT&T).
Subsequently, the contract was amended by a Miscellaneous Briefing on October 18, 2005
doubling the throughput capacity of the internet connection to its current level of 40 mbps (megabits per second).
This internet connection is the link that provides employee access to the internet and web-based
computer applications. It also supports the Dallas County website and the access that citizens
have to the County for infonnation and e-commerce.
To manage and protect this vital data link, internet access and usage policies have been
developed, approved and adopted (see Appendix A for policy details). Additionally, the Office
oflnfonnation Technology has, with Commissioners Court approval, purchased and installed
software and hardware to manage this important resource.
ISSUE
Although standard settings are installed with each computer, an intennediate level computer
users can modif'y their computer internet usage settings which will bypass the internet proxy.
Alternately, non standard internet browsers (e.g. Firefox) can be downloaded and installed - also
bypassing the internet proxy,
Bypassing the internet proxy, also bypasses the protection and restrictions that this management
tool provides and opens up opportunities for internet users to:
• access websites that introduce hannful software to the local PC and network;
68
•
•
over subscribe the County's internet bandwidth with streaming video and or audio (e.g.
television, videos and radio);
access and download illegal and / or inappropriate material.
Examples of recent activities by County internet users include:
. • Internet usage spikes during broadcast of football games, due to the online television
viewing.
• . One user complained that blocking streaming video restricted her from watching soap
operas during the day.
• A user was visiting inappropriate video sites by using a Firefox browser.
• One location in Dallas County was streaming four sites and accounted for 25% of the
total internet usage for the County. Websense, was used to limit streaming web
connections, reducing the impact to the internet.
Although this is not the 'typical' County internet user, this type of activity can negatively impact
all of the County's internet users.
PROPOSED ACTION
The Office ofInformation Technology requests approval to implement additional internet usage
rules - using existing software and hardware tools - at no additional cost to Dallas County.
Proposal # I :
Establish internet usage level groups and assign all County system users to one of the groups.

Commissioners Court
By default, all County users will be assigned to Level I and provided standard internet access.
Upon request, and with the appropriate level of authorization, users will be moved to one of the
other access levels.
Proposal #2:
Use Cisco's Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) to force ALL County internet users
through the Web Proxy.
This will, without exception, force all users of the County's internet access portal to go through
the management rules and tools that are in place.
69
Proposal #3:
Use Cisco's Websense tool to manage the usage level of the internet connection. This tool takes
advantage of a subscription service to provide the most recent website classification by type and
content. Access rules will be assigned by use levels and access to various websites will be
controlled accordingly. (See Appendix B for site examples)
The tool will also allow certain site categories to be limited to a percentage of the overall internet
capacity (e.g. limit streaming video to 10% of internet capacity). This will not block site access,
but will limit the volume of internet traffic from various site types and ensure that site usage does
not negatively impact others in the County.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT
It is expected that the County will see improved internet performance due to decreased
bandwidth usage. There will be less opportunity for harmful software to enter the County's
network. Inappropriate internet usage will be restricted. Users with legitimate need to access
sites can request access and or identifY those sites. Websense will be updated with legitimate
sites.
FISCAL IMPACT
This will be implemented using existing tools and hardware. No additional cost is expected for
technology investments at this time. IT will utilize existing tools to look for anomalies with existing
network usage. IT will identifY the causes of the anomalies that occur and correct technical issues
and/or report to department management and the IT Steering Committee abuses by employees for
appropriate action to be taken. In the event that additional resources are needed to maintain
compliance review, the Commissioners Court will be briefed on the resources needed.

Subdivision I. In General
Sec. 74-801. Purpose of division.
The purpose of this division is to address the legal and legitimate use of the county's
electronic communication and Internet access resources. This division will address the standards of
acceptable use.
.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74-802. Objectives of division.
The objectives of this division are to define:
(1) The resources included under electronic mail and Internet access;
(2) Standards ofconduct that are acceptable when using available resources;
(3) Define the guidelines for use of the county system.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec: 74-803. Statement of policy.
(a) The county electronic mail and Internet system is provided to county employees, contractors,
vendors and other persons or firms designated by authorized county officials for the purpose of
county business. The electronic mail and Internet system is owned by the county. The county
reserves the right to monitor any messages, attachments or access of electronic mail and/or Intemet
sites on the electronic mail and Internet system, subject to state and federal law. Users of the county
electronic mail and Internet system will be subject to administrative and/or criminal actions if policy
violations occur.
(b) This division is designed to create a recognized legally acceptable exception, known as the
"employee consent exception," to the Federal Wiretap Statute, 18 USCA 2510 (1986). This
exception requires the county to establish a written policy concerning the interception of business
communication.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74-804. County computer network system.
(a) The technology of a computer network system is defined as all computers, both hardware and
software, the LAN (local area network) and all transmitted information. Transmitted information
includes, but is not limited to, electronic mail, web browsing, file transfer protocol and any
information retrieved via the InterneL The Internet is an electronic .superhighway connecting
thousands of computers and users all around the world. The Internet includes both the Internet and
intra net applications. Access to electronic mail enables communication with people all over the
world; information and news from around the world, as well as the opportunity to correspond with the
providers of this information; discussion groups on a wealth of topics; and access to many county
. databases.
(b) With such access to computers and people all over the world, there exists an availability of
material that will have no business value to the county. Therefore, the county has taken all
reasonable precautions to restrict access to inappropriate materials. However, on a global network it
71
is impossible to control all materials, and an industrious user may discover inappropriate
information. The county firmly believes that the valuable information and interaction available on this
worldwide network far outweigh the possibility that users may procure material that is not consistent
with the business goals of the county.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462,7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74·805. Standard of conduct.
Use of the computer technology of the county is a privilege, not a right, extended to some
employees. Each user has the privilege to make use of authorized hardware and software in order
to facilitate his/her employment and for other activities with prior approval of the department head or
elected official. Transmission and viewing of any material in violation of any federal or state
regulation is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarizing copyrighted material,
threatening or obscene materials, or materials protected by trade secret or that are classified
government information. Moreover,the viewing, transfer, solicitation, use or storage of pornography
or other sexually harassing information is strictly prohibited except in the pursuit of bonafide law
enforcement investigations. Initiation of electronic mail and the Internet for commercial ventures,
religious or political causes or other non-county sanctioned activities is also prohibited.

Secs. 74-806--74-830. Reserved.
Subdivision II. Guidelines
Sec. 74·831. Employee responsibility for misuse; monitoring and privacy.
(a) All county policies and regulations apply to the use of the electronic mail and Internet network to
support the business goals of the county. When the county incurs a cost due to employee
negligence or misuse, the employee will be responsible for reimbursement of that cost.
(b) The county reserves the right to monitor all activity and contents of any county-owned
communication system. Employee passwords do not guarantee privacy. Employees deleting
electronic mail should know that it will not totally purge the message from the system. Computer
servers often retain electronic mail for months, and electronic tracing information remains
indefinitely. Further, electronic mail could be subject to the Texas Public Information Act.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74·832. County goal.
The county recognizes that the electronic communications available on the Internet are an
increasingly important part of the daily lives of many employees and can help individuals and
families keep up with daily schedules, personal communication, and other important information.
The goal of the county when making this system available to employees is to enhance the
effectiveness of employees in their work but also to recognize that this technology will be used as
routinely as the telephone.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74·833. Personal communications.
Similar to its policies regarding telephone use, the county expects users of the county
electronic network to limit personal communications to those that are necessary, do not incur a
charge to the county, do not involve operating a profit-making enterprise on county time, and do not
take away from the time required to be devoted to county business. Routine and occasional
personal communications, consistent with departmental policies, may be made on break times or in
such a way that they do not interfere with the performance of job duties. However, such personal
communication shall not be considered private and may be monitored by the county. No employee
shall have an expectation of privacy when using the county's electronic mail and Internet system.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462,7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
72
Sec. 74-834. Business, political or religious communications.
A county network user should not give their county electronic mail address to any person or
organization for purposes of receiving business, political, or religious communications. A county
network user who receives such communications or any inappropriate non-county electronic
message should respond to the sender asking to have such messages terminated or redirected to a
non-county address.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)
Sec. 74-835. User regulations.
The following county network user regulations shall be observed:
(1) Use of personal codes is not authorized and is strictly prohibited.
(2) No expectation of privacy exists for personal electronic communications.
(3) Users are bound by federal, state and local laws relating to civil rights, harassment, copyright,
licensing, security and other statutes relating to electronic media. Illegal activities will be referred to
the appropriate law enforcement agency.
(4) Users must recognize that information distributed through the county's computing and
networking facilities is a form of publishing, and some of the same standards apply.
(5) Anything generated at the county that is available on the Internet represents the county and not
just an individual. Even with disclaimers, the county is represented by its employees, and
appropriate professional language, behavior and style is warranted.
(6) Users may not use the network system in such a way that would disrupt or degrade the county
network.
(7) Users may not reveal the home address or phone number for any person.
(Ord. No. 2000-1462, 7-25-2000; Ord. No. 2000-1883, 9-19-2000)

Addition of a Public Defender to the 265'h Criminal District Court
BACKGROUND
Judge Stoltz of the 265 th Criminal District Court is requesting a third Public Defender be
assigned to his court. Currently there is one Attorney N and one Attorney ill assigned to the
265 th Criminal District Court.
The purpose of this briefing is to present information and provide Commissioners Court a
recommendation on the Judges' request.
OPERTIONAL IMPACT
The assignment of a third Public Defender to the 26Sth Criminal District Court
will provide the judge an additional cost effective alternative to court appointed attorneys. A
current list of Public Defender assignments for the Criminal District and County Criminal Courts
is included as Attachment A.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The annual cost, including benefits, of the requested Public Defender N is $87,323. The cost for
the new Public Defender will be offset by a reduction in the court appointed attorney cost
allocation that was included in each of the court's FY2007 budget.
The Judicial Management Report that is compiled by the Office of Budget and Evaluation
illustrates the overall cost per case of Public Defenders as compared to court appointed attorneys.
For FY2006, the average cost per case for a Public Defender in the Criminal District Courts was
$272 as compared to $365 for a court appointed attorney. The relevant page from the Judicial
Management Report is included as Attachment B.
The new position will require a laptop, desk, bookshelves, file cabinet, office chair and visitor
chairs at a cost of $3,404. Funds for the equipment are available in unallocated reserves.

SUBJECT:
Sheriff's Office - becker Law Library Detention Service Officer
BACKGROUND
The Sheriff's Office has requested the addition ofone Detention Service Officer position for the
Decker Detention Center to serve in a library officer capacity. On November 21, 2006,
Commissioners Court approved the full staffing of the Decker Detention Center in accordance
with Blue Book staffing guidelines and anticipated that Decker Jail would be operating at full
capacity through FY2007. The November 21,2006 briefing did not include authorization of
additional law library personnel detailed in the Blue Book staffing guidelines.
The Office of Budget and Evaluation has reviewed this request and provides a recommendation
to Commissioners Court regarding the addition of one Detention Service Office position for
Decker Detention Center.
IMPACT ON OPERATIONS
Current Operations
The Sheriffs Office is currently utilizing five library officers who serve across all of the Dallas
County Jails. Two of these DSO positions serve North Tower inmates, two DSO positions serve
West Tower inmates and one DSO serves inmates housed in both the Kays and George Allen
facilities. Each jail has one inmate library which provides access to law books and general
reading material. General reading material is brought to inmates by floor officers upon request;
however, the library officers serve at law library locations within the jails where inmates must go
to access law book materials.
Proposed Operations
The Sheriffs Office is requesting authorization for (I) additional Detention Servi"Ce Officer
position to accommodate library requests from inmates at the Decker Detention Center. It is
projected that the FY2007 inmate population will require Decker jail to be filled to capacity. An
additional Detention Service Officer position would address Kite requests to access law library
material, create daily inmate pull lists, escort inmates to the Decker third floor law library and
guard inmates that will be located within the law library.

through the remainder ofthe FY2007 is $33,109. The total annual cost to Dallas County
including salary and benefits for (1) Detention Service Officer is $49,663. The cost for this
additional position will be reimbursed by the Sheriff's Office Commissary Escrow Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The Office of Budget and Evaluation recommends Commissioners Court approve the addition of
(1) Detention Service Officer position to serve as a library officer at the Decker Detention
Center. Additionally, it is recommended that the Human Resources/Civil Service Department
review the position to determine proper classification.
