on a part-time basis to this effort as part of the Task Force. The Fort Worth police officer assigned to the
Task Force assists in OCDETF investigations, strategic initiatives, and prosecutions as required by the
FBI. The Police Department is reimbursed all overtime costs for participating on the Task Force.

execution of the Agreement and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available
in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
