Insurance Crime Bureau, and the Texas Department of Insurance (on behalf of the
State Fire Marshall's Office) 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%; 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)

REFERENCE NO.: **C-22785
SUBJECT:
Authorize the City Manager to Execute an Interlocal Agreement and Accept $154,170 from Tarrant
County to Conduct Auto Theft and Burglary of Motor Vehicle Investigations through Participation in
the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County to participate in the
Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force;
2. Authorize the City Manager to accept an estimated $154,170 from the Tarrant County Regional Auto

4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth has been an active participant in the Tarrant County Regional Auto Crimes Task
Force, previously named Tarrant County Auto Theft Task Force, since 1993. The task force implements
coordinated and cooperative auto crimes enforcement operations that include the investigation of auto
thefts and burglary of automobiles. Previously, the agreement was authorized by the City Council under
M&C C-18892 (City Secretary Contract No. 31787). The Program is funded by the Texas Auto Theft
Prevention Authority, which reimburses Tarrant County for part of the cost of the task force. This agreement
is authorized pursuant to state law.
Currently, seven municipal police agencies, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department, and the Texas
Department of Public Safety participate in the task force and are partially reimbursed for the participation of
their staff by a grant from the Texas Automobile Burglary and Theft Prevention Authority. The Police
Department will assign one sergeant and one detective to the task force with 72 percent of their salary,
overtime, and associated fringe benefits being reimbursed by Tarrant County through the Tarrant County
Regional Auto Crimes Task Force Grant and the additional 28 percent is covered by the Police General
Fund. Indirect Cost is not an allowable expense in this grant.
