Each entity has authorized its representative to sign this Agreement; e. Each entity acknowledges that it is a "governmental entity" and not a "business entity" as those terms are defined in Tex. Gov't Code § 2252.908, and therefore, no disclosure of interested parties pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code Section 2252.908 is required; and, WHEREAS, during the performance of the governmental functions and the payment for the performance of those governmental functions under this Agreement, the parties will make the performance and payment from current revenues legally available to that party; and, WHEREAS a grant of money from the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority has been received to fund the continuation of the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT KNOWN BY THESE PRESENTS: That Tarrant County, acting by and through its duly authorized County Judge, the Criminal District Attorney of Tarrant County, the Sheriff of Tarrant County, and the governmental entities that have executed, are executing, or will execute substantially similar copies hereof at this time or in the future during the time that this Agreement is in force, acting herein by and through their duly authorized chief administrative officer, do hereby covenant and agree as follows: TASK FORCE The Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force ("Task Force") will be a part of the Tarrant County Sheriffs Office for administrative purposes.

Additionally, the Board will consist of an executive of every additional agency that participates in the Task Force with personnel, to include: the Police Chiefs of Euless, Haltom City, Hurst, a Regional Captain of the Texas Department of Public Safety's Motor Vehicle Theft Services, the Parker County Sheriff, and a Supervisor of the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Ex officio members, if any, may be added by agreement of the voting members; ex officio members shall be non- voting. The Board of Governors shall have the responsibility for policy, direction, and control of the Task Force. The Board of Governors will have direct responsibility for the selection of a Commander for the Task Force. The Board will monitor the activities and accomplishments of the Task Force to ensure orderly progress towards attainment of all stated objectives. There will be one unit, which may form sub-groups or teams as appropriate. The activities and investigations of these sub-groups or teams shall be led by the Sgt. Team Leader at the direction of the Commander of the Task Force. These sub-groups or teams will have the duties assigned to them by the Sgt. Team Leader at the approval of the Commander. AUTO THEFT AND BURGLARY OF MOTOR VEHICLE INVESTIGATION Auto theft and burglary of motor vehicle investigations within the jurisdictional bounds of the entities joining this Agreement may be coordinated through the Task Force. All commercial auto theft intelligence received by a law enforcement agency that is a party to this Agreement may be referred to the Task Force for investigation. The assigned officers will respond to complaints in a timely manner. The Task Force will conduct salvage business inspections, covert operations, training, arrests, THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 3 investigations, assistance to other agencies and public awareness education in an effort to lower the auto theft and burglary of motor vehicle rate. ASSET SEIZURES All asset seizures developed by the Task Force in Tarrant County under Chapter 59 of the Code of Criminal Procedure will be prosecuted by the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office. There is hereby created a certain fund to be known as the Auto Crimes Task Force Asset Seizure Fund (hereinafter called "Fund"), said Fund to be created in compliance with State law and the requirements of the grant restrictions. FORFEITURE POLICY Upon entry of a judgment in a judicial proceeding awarding monies or other proceeds to the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force, said monies or proceeds will be immediately deposited in the Auto Crimes Task Force Seizure Fund. The monies and proceeds in this Fund must be used to further the purpose of the Task Force as required by the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force Grant award: Enhancement of currently funded and/or future motor vehicle theft enforcement and prevention programs. All forfeiture funds and other generated program income shall be subject to audit by the Auditor of Tarrant County, Texas, and the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority. Any conveyance or vehicle that is the subject of a final forfeiture shall be awarded to the Task Force to be used to further the purpose of the Task Force as required by the Task Force grant award. Upon termination of this Agreement, ownership of equipment, hardware, and THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 4 other non-expendable items will revert to the applicant for which it was acquired, subject to the approval of the Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority of the State of Texas. OFFICER STATUS Any peace officer assigned to the Task Force by a government entity which is a party to this Agreement shall be empowered to enforce all laws and ordinances applicable in the jurisdiction of the county and municipal entities signatory to this Agreement, including the power to make arrests, execute search warrants, and investigate auto theft and burglary of motor vehicle offenses outside of the geographical jurisdiction from which he or she is assigned, but within the area covered by the jurisdictions of the counties and municipal entities which are parties to this Agreement. While functioning as a peace officer assigned to the Task Force, he or she shall have all of the law enforcement powers of a regular peace officer of such other political entity. A peace officer who is assigned, designated, or ordered by the official designated by the governing body of any entity to perform law enforcement duties as a member of the Task Force shall receive the same wage, salary, pension and all other compensation and all other rights for such service, including injury or death benefits and workers' compensation benefits, paid in accordance with the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority Grant Guidelines, as existing or as may be amended, and applicable law, as though the service had been rendered within the limits of the entity from which he or she was assigned. Recognizing the benefits to a participating entity to this agreement, it is agreed that all wage and disability payments, including workers' compensation benefits, pension payments, damage to equipment (with the THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 5 exception of leased vehicles, for which damages will be covered under the provisions of the lease(s) and clothing, medical expense and expense of travel, food and lodging shall be paid in accordance with the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority Grant Guidelines, as existing or as may be amended. However, peace officers assigned to the Task Force will not work overtime that is not reimbursable to their assigning agency without prior approval from their assigning agency supervisor. (For example, Fort Worth police officers assigned to the Task Force will not work Task Force overtime, which is not reimbursable to the Fort Worth Police Department, without prior approval from their Fort Worth police supervisor.) Instead, they will be permitted to flex their work hours as necessary to accomplish Task Force objectives and assignments. In further recognition of the benefit to be gained by the entity participating in the Task Force, it is agreed that no entity that is a party to this Agreement shall receive or be entitled to reimbursement from another entity participating in this Agreement for any services performed pursuant to this Agreement. It is further agreed that, in the event that any peace officer assigned to the Task Force is cited as a party defendant to any civil lawsuit, state or federal, arising out of his or her official acts while functioning as a peace officer assigned to the Task Force, said peace officer shall be entitled to the same benefits that such officer would be entitled to receive had such civil action risen out of an official act within the scope of his or her duties as a member and in the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency from which he or she was assigned. Further, no entity shall be responsible for the acts of a peace officer of another entity assigned to the Task Force. Each entity participating herein indemnifies and holds all other participating entities harmless for all acts of its own THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 6 officers and employees acting hereunder, to the full extent permitted by law. GENERAL PROVISIONS This Contract is subject to all grant conditions applicable to the grant of the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority to the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force. Each party to this Agreement expressly waives all claims against every other party for compensation for any loss, damage, personal injury, or death occurring as a consequence of the performance of this Agreement. Third party claims against members shall be governed by the Texas Tort Claims Act or other appropriate statutes and laws of the State of Texas and the United States. It is expressly understood and agreed that, in the execution of this Agreement, no party waives, nor shall be deemed hereby to waive, any immunity or defense that would otherwise be available to it against claims arising in the exercise of governmental powers and functions. The validity of this Agreement and of any of its terms or provisions, as well as the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This Agreement shall become effective as to a party hereto on the day of the execution of the Agreement by the party, and shall continue in effect as to a THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 7 participating entity for one year from the date of signature and thereafter until it has been terminated or rescinded by appropriate action of the participating entity's governing body, or expires due to termination of the grant or by operation of law. (To minimize the administrative difficulty of signature between the many parties, each city or other law enforcement entity will sign a substantially similar agreement with Tarrant County; however, each party signing substantially similar copies is immediately bound one to another to all other entities participating during the time said agreement is in force as to said entity, even though the parties' signatures appear on different copies of the substantially similar copies. Any entity being added after the agreement is in effect need only sign the documents which Tarrant County signs to be fully a party bound to all other parties, and such signature shall, as of the date of the signing, have the same force and effect as between the joining and already-bound members as if a single document was signed simultaneously by all then-participating entities.) If program enhancement activities are terminated, unexpended revenues will be promptly returned to the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority. This Agreement may be amended or modified by the mutual agreement of the parties hereto in writing. The Interlocal Agreement is for the period and on the conditions herein contained, and on such conditions to this Agreement as may be added by amendment or by law, and not for any period beyond that permitted by law, nor for any purpose not permitted by law. This instrument contains all commitments and agreements of the parties, and no oral or written commitments have any force or effect to alter any term or condition of this Agreement, unless the same are done in proper form and in a manner constituting a bona fide amendment hereto. THE TARRANT REGIONAL AUTO CRIMES TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT-PAGE 8 Two non-local entities, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the National Insurance Crime Bureau each enter separate agreements with Tarrant County for the following reasons: Each entity's staff member carries a statewide law enforcement commission and therefore does not require the enhanced law enforcement jurisdiction afforded by this Agreement; Each entity funds their staff member's salary and fringe benefits 100%; and each entity's staff member performs in a support role to the Task Force and is available less than 100% of their work week because the availability of each is subject to assignments from their entity. The parties agree that their collective agreement may be evidenced by the execution of an identical counterpart of this instrument by the duly authorized official(s) of each participant and the failure of any anticipated member to enter into or renew this Agreement shall not affect the agreement between and among the parties executing the Agreement. ACCEPTANCE OF RESTRICTIONS Signature of this Agreement constitutes acceptance of all grant conditions, grant restrictions and the terms of all applicable laws. This is to certify that the objectives of the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force as stated in its Grant Application for the fiscal year(s) funding covered by this Agreement have been reviewed and that it is mutually agreed to cooperate to whatever extent is necessary in carrying out the work plan described in the application(s).

DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth has been an active participant in the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force (Task Force) since 1993. The Task Force uses coordinated and cooperative enforcement, crime prevention techniques and technology to investigate auto crimes. The Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority awarded the grant to Tarrant County. The City of Fort Worth is a sub-recipient of the grant. Currently, seven municipal police agencies participate in the Task Force and are partially reimbursed for their participation. The Fort Worth Police Department will assign one detective to the Task Force. The grant funds will reimburse the City $124,419.00 for the detective's salary and fringe benefits and up to $5,000.00 for overtime. The Agreement requires a 20 percent match of$31,105.26 from the General Fund. The detective selected for the task force was budgeted 100 percent to the General Fund to perform work related to auto crimes. The combined grant funding and city match represent the total compensation budget for this position; grant funding thus serves as salary savings relative to the adopted budget. Indirect costs are not allowable expenses under this grant. This Task Force serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
