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.
