Authorize the Police Department to accept up to the amount of $34,404.50 for reimbursement of overtime worked by the assigned officers; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Fund in the amount of $34,404.50. DISCUSSION: Since 1985, the Fort Worth Police Department has been an active partner in the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Dallas /Fort Worth Airport Task Force. 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 expired on September 30, 2012 and a new Agreement needs to be executed. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding will be executed to authorize the City's participation. The Police Department has two officers assigned to the Task Force and the DEA reimburses the Police Department for overtime costs (including salary and benefits) up to the amount of $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.
