enterprises engaged in such illegal activities. The HIDTA Group 2 Task Force focuses on major drug
trafficking organizations.
The Fort Worth Police Department currently has eight officers assigned to the HIDTA Group 2 Task
Force. The City of Fort Worth will be reimbursed by the DEA for overtime expenses related to the
officers' participation in the HIDTA Group 2 Task Force in the amount of$140,384.00.
Indirect costs are not allowable expenses under this Agreement. The City of Fort Worth is not
required to provide matching funds.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that the Police Department is responsible for
the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Upon approval of the above recommendations,
execution of the Agreement, adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance and receipt of the
