Space will be unavailable when the County Jail is filled to 100% of its capacity and unable to accept additional inmates. The Jail Administrator may determine when the County Jail is filled to 100% capacity and unable to accept additional inmates. The Jail Administrator will consider the jail's population, expected incoming inmates (e.g. under other jail -services agreements), expected releases, the gender and security -classification mix of the inmate population, inmates' health restrictions, space or cells needed to house and care for problematic or vulnerable inmates, and state law, including the rules and regulations of the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. At times, particular pods or cells may be unavailable for some reason, such as maintenance which shall be taken into account in determining whether the County Jail is filled of 100% of its capacity. 3.02 Persons Accepted (1) The Detention Facility will accept persons arrested via a Class C warrant, if the detainee is presented by a Peace Officer with the original warrant, a certified or facsimile copy of a valid arrest warrant, or if the jail staff receives a teletype or email confirmation of the warrant.

Section 4. Non -Exclusivity of Service Provision The County may contract to perform services similar or identical to those specified in this Agreement for other municipalities, utility districts, or governmental entities as the County, in its sole discretion, sees fit. Section 5. Compensation 5.01 Basic Charge The City will pay the County a Basic Charge of $91.41 per day or part of a day per inmate that the City requests be confined on the City's charges, and who is confined, in the County Jail. This Basic Charge, along with Additional Charges under sections 5.02-5.04, will fairly compensate the County. See Gov't Code, § 791.011(e). 5.02 Additional Charges In addition to paying the Basic Charge, the City will reimburse the County for expenses associated with providing jail services to inmates held on the City's charges (the Uty's inmates). The City will reimburse the County for providing health-care services, including ambulance, medical, hospital, dental, and psychiatric or psychological services to the City's inmates. Where reasonable and consistent with the County's legal obligations to care for inmates, including providing them with first aid and emergency and non -emergency medical care and care and monitoring for an at -risk inmate, the County will take reasonable steps to confer with the City about the reasonably foreseeable costs of maintaining the City's inmates in the Detention Center before incurring an undue balance of such costs. For conference purposes, "the City" means an officer with sufficient authority to make binding decisions about an inmate's care or whether to issue a personal recognizance bond with respect to an inmate. In provisions of the Sandra Bland Act, the legislature directed the Texas Commission on Jail Standards to adopt rules and procedures with regard to a county jail providing access to a mental -health professional through a telemental health service 24 hours a day, access to a health professional at the jail or through a telehealth service 24 hours a day, or, if a health professional is unavailable at the jail or through a telehealth service, provide for the City's inmate to be transported to access a health professional.

Sess., § 3.05 (codified at Gov't Code, § 511.009(a)(23)); id. 3 § 3.10 (requiring the Commission to adopt rules and procedures under § 5114009(23) no later than Sept. 1, 2018, and requiring a county jail to comply with such rules and procedures on and after September 1, 2020). It is possible that Collin County —with advice fiom its health -services provider or other expert —will voluntarily take steps to comply with such rules and procedures or provide these types of access to inmates before September 1, 2020. If so, then Collin County will confer with the City about its plans to comply with the Sandra Bland Act, regulations resulting from the Act, or similar law, and the parties will negotiate terms for the City to reimburse the County for reasonable costs of providing such services to the City's inmates. 5.03 Billing The County will bill the City monthly for jail services.

See Gov't Code, § 791.011(d)(3). Section 6.
