CONTRACTS FOR YEAR FIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice in the
amount of$1,127,532 for the period of November 7, 2000, through November 30, 2002; and
2. Authorize the transfer of $127,532 from the General Fund to the Grants Fund as the cash match to
the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Federal Awarded Assets Fund by$40,000 from available funds; and
4. Authorize the transfer of $40,000 from the Federal Awarded Assets Fund to the Grants Fund to
provide funds for the expansion of the Mental Health.Liaison Program; and
5. Authorize the use of interest earned in the amount of$70,000; and
6. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by$1,365,064 from available funds; and
7. Approve a contract extension with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Fort Worth in the amount of
$1,068,035, and contracts with the Tarrant County Sheriffs Office ($161,240) for a records
management system and Tarrant County for expansion of the Mental Health Liaison Program
($40,000).
DISCUSSION:
During the FY1999 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant application process, Texas Attorney General
John Cornyn sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice certifying that there was a funding disparity
between a number of counties and cities within Texas. Fort Worth and Arlington were certified due to
the fact that more than 50% of the cost of prosecution and incarceration of violent crime offenders is
borne by Tarrant County. However, Fort Worth and Arlington both receive 200% more of the Local Law
Enforcement Block Grant Funds than Tarrant County. Again this year, Attorney General Cornyn sent a
letter to the U.S. Department of Justice certifying that there was a funding disparity.
Legislation governing disparity requires that certified agencies aggregate their funds and develop a joint
application. The legislation does not speak to the contents of the joint application, or how the funds
should be divided. To this end, representatives of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and Arlington met a
number of times to develop a plan acceptable to all parties.

SUBJECT ACCEPTANCE OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT, ADOPTION OF

CONTRACTS FOR YEAR FIVE
The plan, which was approved by the Tarrant County Commissioners on Tuesday, .July 25, 2000,
contains the following:
a) Tarrant County has agreed to waive the classification as a "disparate jurisdiction" for the current
year funding, thus negating the certification process; and
b) Each entity will submit separate grant applications; and
c) Each entity will contribute the cash match independently; and
d) Arlington will contract with Tarrant County to provide $76,355 from Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant funds for the Tarrant County Sheriff's records management system and the Mental
Health Liaison Program; and
e) Fort Worth will contract with Tarrant County to provide $161,240 from Local Law Enforcement
Block Grant funds for the Tarrant County Sheriffs records management system, and $40,000
from awarded assets for an expansion of the Mental Health Liaison Program.
Fort Worth has provided funds to Tarrant County for the adult and juvenile drug treatment courts in
previous grants. With this year's monies, Tarrant County will use the Block Grant monies for the
procurement of computer technology equipment to assist with the purchase of a records management
system for the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department.,
The Mental Health Liaison Program is an existing project that provides training for area law
enforcement officers in dealing with persons who have mental health problems, and to act as an
information resource to officers in the field. The expansion of the program, which entails hiring two
additional part-time employees, will allow for 24-hours a day/7 days a week information services. There
are insufficient funds in the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant to fund this project without cutting other
programs, so it is proposed that the expansion be funded through use of awarded assets.
The 5th year of funding of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program for Fort Worth includes
$1,127,532 in federal funds, $127,532 in cash matches, $40,000 from awarded assets, and an
estimated $70,000 of interest earned for a total of $1,365,064. The funds will be provided in advance
beginning October 1, 2000, and the City will have up to two years to expend these funds. Funds must
be placed in an interest bearing account, and all accrued interest will be considered program income
and must be used on Local Law Enforcement Block Grant projects. These will be placed in a separate
account and used for closing costs and/or equipment needed at the end of the grant. Matching funds
are budgeted in the Non-Departmental, General Fund. Local Law Enforcement Block Grant regulations
do not allow payment of indirect costs.

The following proposals are continuations:
Police Department
• Equipment $ 230538
For the purchase and/or upgrade of technical equipment in the Police Department to enhance
efficiency and effectiveness.
Parks and Community Services Department
• Comin' Up $1,068,035
This is the City's gang intervention program, operated by the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Fort
Worth since 1993. In trying to keep gang members from attacking each other, this program also
seeks to offer job training, counseling, GED programs, family referrals and case management.
Tarrant County
• Records Management System $ 161,240
The current records management system is over ten years old and not compatible with other
systems throughout the county. Tarrant County has worked with a consultant over the past year
to design a new information system for all of their operations and the Tarrant County Sherrifs
Office records management system will be a crucial component of this system. Prior to any
funds being spent on this project it will require review by the state Criminal Justice Information
Systems Point of Contact and release of a federal special condition.
• Mental Health Liaison Program $ 40,000
The Mental Health Liaison Program was added to the plan following discussions with Tarrant
County and will be funded with awarded assets. This will expand the program to allow for 24/7
provision of information resources for officers and for training of field officers.
• Interest Earned $ 70,000
All accrued interest will be considered program income and must be used on Local Law
Enforcement Block Grant projects. These will be placed in a separate account and used for
closing costs and/or equipment needed at the end of the project. This is an estimated amount
based upon interest earned during the first Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.
