tobacco products. The City will receive an amount of$75.00 per sting operation. The amount received
will offset a portion of the overtime and associated fringe benefits for the officers participating in the
Program. The City will be responsible for costs associated with vehicle mileage, fuel, buy money and a
stipend for minors participating in the Program. The City's expenses will be covered by various funding
sources, including but not limited to general funds.
