RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:
During fiscal year 2004, federal funds were appropriated to fund overtime for police officers for detection,
investigation and prosecution of crimes against the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) Counterterrorism Division formalized this Task Force with member agencies eligible to receive
overtime reimbursement for their participation on the Task Force. Since 2006, the Fort Worth Police
Department (a member agency) has dedicated one (1) police officer full-time to this effort as part of the
Homeland Security Program (Mayor and Council Communications M&C C-21420 and M&C C-24932).
This M&C is to accept funding for the next five (5) years for overtime payments made to the officer
assigned full-time to the task force. Yearly reimbursement amounts are based on the annual Notice of
Limits received from the FBI. The FBI reserves the right to change the reimbursement limits, upward or
downward, for subsequent periods based on fiscai priorities and appropriations limits. The Cost
Reimbursement Agreement (City Secretary Contract No. 31470) outlines reimbursement information. The
agreement remains in effect for the duration of the agency's participation in the task force and may be
terminated at any time upon mutual consent of the parties with at least a 30 days notice to terminate. This
is a reimbursement agreement and indirect costs are not allowed.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: The
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
