SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Task Force Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, Drug
Enforcement Administration to Continue Operation of the Drug Enforcement Administration Dallas /Fort
Worth Airport Task Force for Reimbursement of Overtime Costs for an Amount Up to $120,415.75 and

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a Task Force Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, Drug
Enforcement Administration to continue operation of the Drug Enforcement Administration Dallas /Fort
Worth Airport Task Force;
2. Authorize the term of the Agreement to be October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012;

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

DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Police Department has been an active partner in the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
Dallas /Fort Worth Airport Task Force since the creation of the Task Force in 1985. In previous years, the
DEA extended the Agreement by addendum; however, due to revised operating guidelines, a new
Agreement is needed for future years. The current Agreement expires on September 30, 2011 and a new
Agreement needs to be executed. The Police Department has seven officers assigned to the Task Force
and the DEA reimburses the Police Department for overtime costs (including salary and benefits) up to
$17,202.25 per officer, per year.
During the period of assignment of Fort Worth police officers to the DEA/Dallas Division /DFW Airport Task
Force, the City of Fort Worth will remain responsible for establishing the salaries and benefits, including
overtime, of the officers assigned to the Task Force.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
