SPECIAL CONDITIONS
15. The grantee agrees to assist BJA in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National
Historic Preservation Act, and other related federal environmental impact analyses requirements in the use of these
grant funds, either directly by the grantee or by a subgrantee. Accordingly, the grantee agrees to first determine if any
of the following activities will be funded by the grant, prior to obligating funds for any of these purposes. If it is
determined that any of the following activities will be funded by the grant, the grantee agrees to contact BJA.
The grantee understands that this special condition applies to its following new activities whether or not they are being
specifically funded with these grant funds. That is, as long as the activity is being conducted by the grantee, a
subgrantee, or any third party and the activity needs to be undertaken in order to use these grant funds, this special
condition must first be met. The activities covered by this special condition are:
a. New construction;
b. Minor renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area, including
properties located within a 100-year flood plain, a wetland, or habitat for endangered species, or a property listed on or
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places;
c. A renovation, lease, or any proposed use of a building or facility that will either (a) result in a change in its basic
prior use or (b) significantly change its size;
d. Implementation of a new program involving the use of chemicals other than chemicals that are (a) purchased as an
incidental component of a funded activity and (b) traditionally used, for example, in office, household, recreational, or
education environments; and
e. Implementation of a program relating to clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations, including the
identification, seizure, or closure of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories.
The grantee understands and agrees that complying with NEPA may require the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement, as directed by BJA. The grantee further understands and
agrees to the requirements for implementation of a Mitigation Plan, as detailed at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/BJA/resource/nepa.html, for programs relating to methamphetamine laboratory operations.
Application of This Special Condition to Grantee's Existing Programs or Activities: For any of the grantee's or its
subgrantees' existing programs or activities that will be funded by these grant funds, the grantee, upon specific request
from BJA, agrees to cooperate with BJA in any preparation by BJA of a national or program environmental assessment
of that funded program or activity.
16. To avoid duplicating existing networks or IT systems in any initiatives funded by BJA for law enforcement information
sharing systems which involve interstate connectivity between jurisdictions, such systems shall employ, to the extent
possible, existing networks as the communication backbone to achieve interstate connectivity, unless the grantee can
demonstrate to the satisfaction of BJA that this requirement would not be cost effective or would impair the
functionality of an existing or proposed IT system.
17. In order to promote information sharing and enable interoperability among disparate systems across the justice and
public safety community, OJP requires the grantee to comply with DOJ's Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative
(DOJ's Global) guidelines and recommendations for this particular grant. Grantee shall conform to the Global
Standards Package (GSP) and all constituent elements, where applicable, as described at:

account.) The fund, including any interest, may not be used to pay debts or expenses incurred by other activities beyond
the scope of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG). The recipient also agrees to obligate
and expend the grant funds in the trust fund (including any interest earned) during the period of the grant. Grant funds

23. The recipient agrees to ensure that the State Information Technology Point of Contact receives written notification

24. The grantee agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 38, the Department ofJustice
regulation governing "Equal Treatment for Faith Based Organizations" (the "Equal Treatment Regulation"). The Equal
Treatment Regulation provides in part that Department ofJustice grant awards of direct funding may not be used to
fund any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Recipients of direct
grants may still engage in inherently religious activities, but such activities must be separate in time or place from the
Department ofJustice funded program, and participation in such activities by individuals receiving services from the
grantee or a sub -grantee must be voluntary. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations
participating in programs directly funded by the Department ofJustice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision
of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, faith -
based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for employment. See
http://www.ojp.gov/about/ocr/equal_fbo.htm.
25. The recipient acknowledges that all programs funded through subawards, whether at the state or local levels, must
conform to the grant program requirements as stated in BJA program guidance.

2012 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Formula Program from the United States Department
of Justice, Office of Justice Programs and Bureau of Justice Assistance in the Amount of $561 566,00,
Authorize Execution of a Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Justice and Related
Memoranda of Understanding with Tarrant County and Cities Located in Tarrant County, Authorize Use of
Anticipated Interest in the Amount of $10,000.00 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL
DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Ratify the application for and authorize acceptance of a grant from the Fiscal Year 2012 Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Formula Program from the United States Department of Justice, Office of
Justice Programs and Bureau of Justice Assistance in an amount not to exceed $561,566 00;
3. Authorize the execution of a grant Agreement with the United States Department of Justice and
Memoranda of Understanding with Tarrant County and other cities located within Tarrant County to
designate the City of Fort Worth as the cognizant fiscal agency for the purpose of administrating this grant
and the manner in which the grant money will be disbursed and utilized;
4. Authorize the use of anticipated interest in the amount of $10,000.00 in accordance with the grant, and
5. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants
Fund in the amount of $571 566.00, subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year 2012 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula Program allows
local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent crime and to improve the criminal justice
system. The City of Fort Worth along with the cities of Arlington, Bedford, Haltom City Hurst and North
Richland Hills are required to negotiate with Tarrant County to develop a program budget and strategy. The
cities included in this Application have worked on collaborative projects for the past 20 years including
intelligence sharing, crime analysis, juvenile and adult drug treatment and the 2005-2011 Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Formula and Recovery Act JAG Programs. Following the announcement of the Fiscal Year
2012 JAG, representatives from the below listed agencies agreed that the City of Fort Worth should again
serve as the cognizant agency for the Fiscal Year 2012 JAG Formula Program.

$ 14,461.00
No matching funds are required. The City of Fort Worth was responsible for submitting the full grant
application and will upon receipt of the grant funds, distribute funding to the other jurisdictions, as agreed
among the above entities.
The City of Fort Worth's funding will provide for an updated digital recording system. This system would
replace the current Communications Division's failing recording system which has been in place since 2003.
The current recording system has experienced several outages due to equipment failure that have caused loss
in both radio and telephone recordings that must be achieved and kept for a minimum of one year to meet the
standards of the records retention schedule and to supply both investigative and open records request
recordings of both radio and telephone transmissions. As the project scope of the radio system does not
include audio recording equipment for 9-1-1 telephone transmissions, the Communications Division is
requesting additional equipment and recording packages necessary to meet both quality measurement and
audio logging requirements. The digital audio recording system would allow for quality assessment, the
coaching package, screen recording and the analytics package.
FISCAL INFORMATION:
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.
