SUBJECT:
Authorize an $11,000.00 Increase in Estimated Receipts in Connection with the Fiscal Year 2010
Agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, which Provides for the Receipt of
Reimbursable Costs Incurred by the City in Providing Resources to Joint Operations/Task Forces and
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize an increase in estimated receipts associated with the Fiscal Year 2010 agreement with the
Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, entered into for the purpose of receiving reimbursable
overtime and travel costs incurred by the City in providing resources to a Joint Operations/Task Force;
and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund by $11,000.00 upon authorization of the increase.
DISCUSSION:
On April 15, 2008, (M&C C-22759) the City Council authorized an agreement to receive an estimated
$18,000.00 from the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigator Task Force, IRS-CI. This agreement
provides for the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by local, county, and state law enforcement
agencies in their roles as participants in joint operations/task forces with a Department of the Treasury law
enforcement agency. The name of this Task Force is the "North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task Force." The
mission of the Task Force is to develop and assist with criminal investigations and asset forfeitures of
illegal activities in the North Texas area. As financial investigators, the North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task
Force fills a unique niche in the federal law enforcement community.
The Fort Worth Police Department assigned one detective to this Joint Task Force/Operation and the city
is reimbursed for that detective's overtime and travel. Based on operational requirements of the IRS-CI
Task Force, both overtime and travel funding increases are required for the remainder of Fiscal Year
2010.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund. The Police Department is responsible for submitting request
for reimbursement to offset the expenditures. Funds will be reimbursed by grantor after expenditures are
made.
